In India a lot of money goes into Weddings, which the brides family has to bear. Is it fair?

In some countries it's just the tradition to spend a fortune.  But personally I believe that if you are someone that values those memories and keep them for a long time than its worth the money, if not, than just spend it on something YOU BOTH would enjoy.


I had a friend, Patsy, mid 50's that I would love to say Hi to.

part of 3d rendering program\n\ninstalled 3D Studio Max 6 and along with it came backburner 2.


Mine was at this restaurant that I worked at.  I was standing on a rolling office chair to reach something on top of the industrial fridge.  The chair started rolling away and I slid down the front and my bra got hooked on the locking mechanism on the top.  I ended up hanging from my bra until someone came to help me. Totally emarrassing that the staff saw my boobs LOL!  Who can say that their bra saved them from serious injury?  Me!   Tell me yours............

lol...   mine is "Classic"..  i was once swimming at night in a lake in the middle of utah, when my friends dared me to go skinny dipping...  so i did, and they ran off with my clothing! so i went to run after them stark naked, and this tour bus came by.  it was all these old ladys!  i was so embarassed...  my freinds were laughing hysterically, i was crying.. but now i look back, and i laugh.  i was 19...  go figure, 19 y. olds do stupid things.  lol, but yours, thats funny!


I think the beginning is looks, often. But, in order to keep the public's attention, they must have talent. Otherwise, they are but a "flash in the pan" and soon fade from the public eye.

Has anyone ever had media mail take longer than what they say?\n\nIt says 2 to 9 days,  I take it that 9 days is from one side of the US to the other, so if you are 1/2 way, then maybe 5 days, and 1/4 - 2 or 3 days.\n\n9 days has passed and still no package.\n\nbunch of morons, can't deliver a package 500 miles in 9 days.

The USPS estimates 2 to 9 days, but the majority of what determines how long it takes isn't how far it has to go but how much mail they have to move that particular day.  If the mail carrier has a full bag, he leaves behind media mail until the next day.  If the next day he doesn't have room again, the media mail gets left behind again.  It's a wonder any of it ever gets delivered.\n\nIf you don't like the USPS, why not start your own postal service?  That'd rock.


i can read english very well but while i speaking, i couldn't speak well and also its there in my mind but i couldn't express. is there any suggestion.

Read books aloud it will give you a chance to gain confidence in your oral skills.  When you are reading aloud keep a pen and paper handy to make note of a word or turn of phrase that is new and excites your imagination.  Make note of those and try to use them in your daily conversation.  You will soon speak better English than those who have it as a native tongue.

you can delete temp files these are found in c:\WINDOWS\Temp you can also go into the internet options found in the control panel and select delete cookies and delet history. also if you have alot of icons on your desktop as theseare loaded into the ram and can slow down your computer so delete the ones you dont need,  also the same with fonts delete the ones you dont need.  and try a ram booster program they can help


what is  a normal age when they start wearing them and give me ur opinion on them, how u feel bout them, tell me all!!!

I think most females wear thongs or G strings because they are less visible when you wear tight clothing and looks better than having pantie lines all over the place. If I remember correctly I started wearing then either late middle school (Junior high) or very early high school. And no not all of them are comfortable since they are not all cut the same. But over all yes they are comfortable and can give you a confidence boost if needed.


it is telescopic and when extended is about 15ft maybe its just a blank that i can make up myself just don't know enough about dapping to say have searched the net and all results show dapping rods with eyes and reals

LOL...what ya have there is an old fashioned cane pole. You tie a piece of line on about the same lenght of the pole, attach a hook and a small sinker, a bobber if ya want one, then all you do is toss it into the water, sit down, and wait.


what is the worst hairstyl you ever had? minewas this bob that was WaY to short CrIngE!! be honest!!

a haircut that made me look like a mushroom!


i want to now abut the system of result orented performance evaluation

Its pretty much the way it sounds. Your peformance evaluation is based on how well you are preforming:)\nUsually you will sit down with your manager and set a budget or sales goal. At the end of a set term, your bonus or whatever will be determined by how well you met that target.


free will employer, employee is part time, employee is not totally bad, just not with the company's mission, non profit organization

The best way to avoid the stress is to make sure that you've done your homework.  Make sure that you have objective (quantifiable) data to support your decision.  "Just not being with the company's mission" can be a serious issue for maintaining morale, etc., BUT the Department of Labor will laugh it out of their hearing room should the person claim unemployment.  Have you addressed their inability to "get with the program" with them?  How have you measured this?  Is it consistent with how you're treating other employees?  In order to fire stress-free (and legally), you need either a major infraction or a series of infractions.  Even with free-will employment status.  \n\nOkay, then for the meeting itself.  You have to remind yourself that you're not actually firing the person; they fired themselves, and you're just implementing their decision.  I know that sounds a little corny, but consider that YOU didn't do anything to get them there, they did.\n\nGood luck with this one.  It is definitely worth weeding the garden in the long run.


well I just wanted 2 know if your suppose 2 clean your belly button and wat is da correct way 2 do it, because i'm not going 2 stick my finger in there LOL.

Personal hygiene dictates you clean all of you. Soap and water in the shower or bath is the usual method of cleaning yourself.


It is said to be the most liberal also. Is this true?

Yes, it is the oldest continuing religion on Earth. The Rig Veda is the oldest sacred text in the world (first written down in about 5000BCE, but before this time it was merely memorized and chanted). \n\nThe most liberal? Perhaps it should be said that it is the most tolerant. Some denominations and sects and subsects of Hinduism could definately be defined as liberal, but some denominations, sects, and subsects can be very conservative, or orthodox, or traditional. So it varies...but they are all very tolerant. In fact, tolerance and respect are the rule rather than the exception. It is rare that Hindu sects, denominations, and subsects are intolerant or disrespectful. In the past Hinduism was extremely liberal compared to many religions during its time, but with the invasions of other religions and cultures into India, and the eventual colonization of India by the British...the influence and sometimes forced acceptance of those cultures, laws, and norms did have some effects on Hinduism. Many of the sages who is said to have written the Rig Veda were women, as well as men. \n\nAgain, though, "liberal" depends greatly on the individual denominations, sects, and subsects...the individual gurus, the individual temples and priests. It varies as to just how liberal they are. Many in India are trying to preserve the traditions while at the same time feeling the forces of western materialism taking its effects. This has caused there to be "fundamentalist" Hindus there. Hindus in the west (both of Indian origin and those who adopt Hinduism but aren't from India) often are much more liberal than even the "liberal" Hindus in India (although there are exceptions to some groups here in the west and even to those in India where there are groups there that are sometimes even more liberal than those in the west..so there are exceptions). \n\nSome great resources on Hinduism:\n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/religion\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org\nhttp://www.galva108.org\nhttp://www.westernhindu.com\nhttp://www.beliefnet.com\nhttp://www.sacred-texts.com

I think the quote is in the Movie Supersize Me and the book "Don't eat this book"

It's "Every time I pass by a McDonald's I'm just gonna punch my kid in the face" It was brought up when he was talking about the playland and the toys that get kids hooked to McDonald's from the youngest age.

What do people mean when they say "in sixth form.."

It's a british thing that occurs after 16 as an alternative to college. After completing your GCSE's at 16 you can either go to college for two years to get AS and A2 level qualifacations before going to university, or take the same qualifacations at a grammar school that has a sixth form. It's an extra two years attached to the grammar school for the purpose of A levels. It lasts until your 2nd year, typically 18 if you didn't have to complete a year upon which time you can go on to university. They are generally considered slightly better than colleges as you are in a school environment that encourages and supports your work more than college, although it doesn't get you prepared for University where the motivation is more your own deal.


id been conversing with this person for three months already and we seem to be in the throes of a nice, warm romantic relationship but i want to check for myself who he really is, i cant bring myself to ask him pointblank, we seem to like each other too much, makes suspicion a tad too cheap

Be Careful you don,t him I would check him out


My mom was raised in the 'haller' of the hills in Tennesee.  She had some sayings that just cracked me up.  Like, 'uglier than a mud fence' or 'deader than a door nail'.  Or my personal favorite, 'my hair looks like a stump full of grandaddies'.  Do you know any more?

Llllllllllllolllllll....hysterical!!!!!!!  The best!  Wish i could contribute...im gonna check back and see what others have to say.  Thanks for the entertaining question!

is 65000$ a good package in New Jersey, US

A good salary package in New Jersey is anyamount over fifty thousand whether it includes extrabenefits or not. But forty- thousand with all the bells and whistles, like detal insurance for the entire family, RRSP contributions etc. This package is equivalent to one that offers fifty to fifty-five thousand without benefits. However, before you accept the package that you have for 65000$ you have to make sure that you can pay housing comfortable and support your family before you rush. Read between the lines and compare the entire package, not just the take home pay. Some jobs also have inflation amounts built in for yearly accomodation of increased costs of living. Is your job dangerous? Like a policeman's job is dangerous in New Jersy, are you insurred in case something happens to you that your family will be taken care of? Job packages is a lot more than meets the eyes.


example:how farwould you get if sailed on a ship from Germany to Galveston,Tx in three months?

what type of ship? A merchant ship will do about 20 miles an hour..(30 kph).......a sailboat will average 4 to 6 mph (6-9 kph)....so, do the math...........if youre asking can you take a sailboat from Germany to Galveston in 3 months, sure...and have time to stop along the way.


how is the head of chicago public schools

This question is miscategorized.\n\nSpecial Education refers to the education and parenting of children with special needs.


how they trained the 1956 olympic swimmers

James E. Counsilman was the head swim coach for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and his book "The Science of Swimming" discussed training of various world class swimmers from this time period.\n\nI believe the successful training programs of this time emphasized long slow distance and fartleks .... moderate paced activity with intervals of speed work. \n\nBest wishes !


So the last question everyone that answered said that he def. likes me since after I told him How I felt he asked for my number. Well if he likes me wouldn't he have already called? Its been a week and the last time I talked to him he said he would call me sometime..........

maybe you should tell him to call you when he is free from his girlfriend then if he is really interested he will get rid and if not then your not hanging around and waiting for him.


It is VERY bad for you. It is classified as a hallucinogenic drug and therefore you can have mind-bending experiences. It also leads one to try other even more dangerous drugs to get an even "better high." Further, you can become psychologically dependent on the drug and "need" a fix which means you are addicted. Also, it is bad for your lungs and can lead to cancer. Actually, there are so many reasons why it is bad to smoke the stuff, it is difficult to believe people do!! Stop now while you can!!

what is its importance for the japanese economy?. how does it affect the japanese economy? what is its individual significance?

The direction of the index is an indication of whether fear or greed is predominating in the country. Right now it appears the fear is becoming more dominant than greed. The index has fallen below the 50 day moving average and is approaching the 200 day moving average. \n\nThe same can be said for the Dow-Jones average. \n\nAs the average falls, people become more fearful and tend to cut back on their expenses, especially discretionary spending. That in turn effects the economy. \n\nThe effect on the U S economy is more difficult to predict and I fear that I am not up to that task.

i have a shuttle xpc with 512 mb and 80 gig hdd is it good or there is a lot better than this?

Your choice of PC is directly dependant on the projected use and if you desire to upgrade/expand the unit later.\n\nWhen selecting a PC ask yourself: 1) What am i going to use it for, 2) do i have space constraints, 3) do i need to add other cards and like to the system,  4) and the least, but often considered the most important do i like the 'look' or 'cool' factor of it( of course this in only important in the eye of the beholder )\n\nNow the Shuttle XPC is a sharp small stylish unit.  It's prospects are limited by shear size.  Although it does have LAN/Video/Audio on board and there is no need for cards / upgrades in this area.  Those items maybe a desired upgrade in the future.\n\nAnother thing to consider is the cost of the cute little cube.  In the electronics world the smaller usally mean more $$$$$.\n\nI guess that it is a personal factor choice.  I have several computers, ranging from the sexy Ultra Slim  EVO desktop, to a Monster Home Build Full Tower (not pretty but very useful and powerful) p.s. i use the monster the most.\n\nCompare and shop is my best answer. But know what features you desire, and know what it should cost before you go to the store.  Salesmen can be a drag. Don't settle for anything other than what you want, after all you have to pay for it.

My American boss told me that some New Yorkers add r to words ending with a. Do you know other irregular phonetic phenomena in English (Amr. or Br.?

Yes its true. They say it without the 'r' but it sounds like they said it with the 'r'. Its more common with Yorkshiremen and Australians, I think.


I hope Arsenal wins they are the underdogs and besides Wenger deserves it after creating a team of virtually unknown players and bringing them this far. He has shown u dont need the worlds greatest players to get far in a major championship all u need is a good head and be tactical.\n\nGood on you Wenger.

the winner will be arsenal because they went through real Madrid , Villareal ok thats done and isn't it a bit obvious they will win if the went through all those matches and came to the finals

there was a fish swimming in the water, the fish thought if that fly drops 6 inches, i can eat it. The bear on the bank thought if that fly drops 6 inches, that fish wil jump out & eat it and i can eat the fish. The hunter thought if that fly drops 6 inches the fich will jump up and eat it the bear will catch the fish and i can shoot the bear. The cat spotted the sandwich in the hunters pocket & thought if that fly drops 6 inches the fish will jump up and catch it, the bear will catch the fiush, the hunter will shoot te bear and i can get that sandwich out of his pocket. the dog thought if that fly drops 6 inches the fish will catch the fly, the bear will catch the fish, the hunter will shoot the bear, the cat will eat the sandwich and i can eat the cat. so the fly dropped 6 in. the fish got the fly, the bear went after the fish, the hunter went after the bear and fell in the water, & the cat fell in the water. Moral: everytime a fly drops 6 inches, a p-u-s-s-y gets wet.

It's cute the first time u hear it... I have heard it before too... and not sure I would forward it again.


...do you think it's possible that cows are actually aliens themselves, and now, after centuries on earth, they're simply returning to their own planet?

It could be! However, the abducted cows are almost always found to have been mutilated by the extraterrestrials, so I think that they are being abducted by aliens because their tissue and blood contain certain protiens that the aliens need in order to keep their race from dying out.


He said, "Before Abraham was, I am."  He was claiming deity.  Now, should he not know the hour of all things being God?

Jesus while on the earth was lesser for the sake of the father...he came and humbled himself to be in human form...They were definitely seperated at that time...When Jesus stated My God My God why hasst thou forsaken me? God could not look upon sin proves the point that while on the earth in human form Christ was seperated from the whole of God so all things that were with the father were not apparent to the son.

He betrayed me, by only going out with me for a girlfriend and he didn't love me at ALL!!

don't get mad, get even!\ntreat him how ever u want! sure, u should find a way to punish him ! use u're imagination.\n\nP.S. if u ask this question without being mad already, tells me that he doesn't mean that much to u.


is it correct to be punished for having different beliefs? many people have diverse religions, many  believe in many gods many believe in just one god but different than the others...etc. so will people be punished for believing in what they were taught to believe in.

You can still be saved during the 7 years of trials and tribulations.  Also if you haven't been taught of Jesus I don't think its held against you.

do you have sex after and should sex even be conciderd when your in high school

The best date I ever went on was valentines day 2005 and it was with my current boyfriend.  He showed up at my house around noon with a gorgeous arrangement of roses, 6 red, 6 pink.  Then I gave him part of his gift which was a basket full of goodies(Stuffed animal, dvd's, chocolate etc.) Next we packed some blankets and extra clothes and headed to the beach.  We missed our exit off the freeway and didn't realize it till a half hour later(lol) but it was ok cause we both really enjoyed the drive. We were talking alot and laughing and just having a nice time.  When we got to the beach we layed out some blankets and watched the waves crash and some dolphins playing farther out in the ocean.  Then I gave him the second part of his gift which was a watch, I was so happy cause he really liked it and I spent so much time trying to find the perfect one. After that we decided to go play in the water(SO COLD!)  He found this really pretty sea-shell and gave it to me(I still have it).  Then we changed into dry clothes and watched the sunset.  When the sun went down we layed down and talked and cuddled and watched the stars as it got darker.  We lit some candles and placed them all around us and made love by candle-light, it was beautiful. Everything was perfect, the stars were bright, we could smell the ocean and hear the waves and the closeness of our bodies kept us warm. It was a wonderful love-making experience.  After that we cuddled a while longer and talked a bit more...then we decided to pack up and go out to eat somewhere.  While we were putting everything in the trunk I turned around to grab a bag off the ground and when I came back up SURPRISE!  There he was holding a crescent jewelers bag with a teddy bear sticking out. Along with the teddy was a beautiful white gold bracelet with heart-shaped pink sapphires and tiny round diamonds(I havent taken it off since that night, not even to shower, I wear it 24/7). I didnt think it was possible but he made a perfect night even more perfect.  After I stopped crying tears of joy we went to eat at Islands. I never wanted that night to end.


How do i get my friend who is anorixic 2 eat when im not around??

Well, first of all I would suggest medical help for her.  This is not something you can enforce by yourself.  She needs proper psychological help if she has an eating disorder, so if she is not receiving help for that, I would suggest trying to convince her of that first.\n\nAfter that, it is up to you as her friend to provide lots of positive encouragement, and make sure that everyone else who knows and loves her does the same.


Do you love somebody? Do they love you?\nWould you rather be more interested in career or love?\nWould you wanna marry someday?\n\nI personally love someone, but I doubt they love me back ( Recall "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"\nI wanna marry someday. I also don't care about the money cuz I have a lot and that's of no interest to me, it doesn't give me half the thrill to the thought of my beloved

I read somewhere that it's not advisable to rush into another relationship after ones heart been broken ..  not to hurt the next person. For some reasons not been dating for 2 yrs now...  am I overdoing this???


I know this question has already been answered but I want some fresh new answers.  Yes, I AM choosing to fix the reception dinner myself...I was thinking about fixing all the entrees and some of the sides three days prior to the big day in disposable chaffing dishes, freeze em up, and then heat them up for the reception?  Pros/Cons/Different ideas completely are welcome.  Please no sarcastic answers :)

My mom made the food you my wedding and it was a huge hit so I totally think its great that your making it yourself.  You can start to prepare ahead and get some friends and family to help because its a big job.  My mom did it all herself, but she took a week off work before my wedding. She cut up all the veggies and made dip for veggies and dip.  She did cheese and crackers, platters of pickles and olives and things like that.  She made trays of rolled up meats with buns to make little sandwiches, there was shrimp and dip, deviled eggs, she makes this really good nacho dip that has ground up beef on the bottom mixed with salsa, then a layer of sour cream, then grated cheese, then chopped onions on the top.  That was gone by the end of the dinner.  Serve it with those little taco chips.  We had lasagna too and my husband works for KFC so we had chicken.  Macaroni and potato salads and a tossed salad and greek salad.  Umm...we also had fruit trays too.  For the cake, we just went to a place that makes cakes for any occasion and had a huge cake made.  It was just like a reclangle one, but it was really big and they did such a nice job decoration it in pink with white bells and doves and everything and it was only $25.  We serves other little deserts too like tarts and squares too. It was a really good meal and everyone enjoyed it alot because there was some of everything to eat.  Nothing is worse then going to a wedding and being served dishes that you don't even like.  I prefer buffet style any day.  I really can't think of any cons to doing it yourself as long as you have some help and time to do it.  I think its a great way to save some money too.  Good luck with everything.


by the way..nice username..very origional...L.O.L!\nso what happened that makes singing Shackles in 6th grade\nsucha  bad memory?

lol thank you! =]\n\nand well at first we just had to sing the song- not a problem.\nBut THEN we had to do a dance to it while singing. And this dance happened to be choreographed by one of the students, and the chorus teacher- an absolute NIGHTMARE. As a dancer in profession, looking back now, its so horrific, lol.\nThen whenever we practiced the song, for some reason we never practiced to Mary Mary's version, we always practiced to the song being played on the piano. Which happens to sound SO depressing it could make anyone want to go crawl into a corner and die, haha. It seriously sounded like something to be played at a funeral! So when we finally performed this song at the concert, the music was played very quietly, and we were all so embarassed, we all sounded pretty monotone and zombie-like, hahaha.\nEpilogue- This chorus teacher, rumour says, decided to shave her head and live in a monastary. (which isn't true, but it is something she would do :P)\n\nAnd that is my story! :D


He keeps telling me that it kills him to he that I'm talking to someone else but he is dating someone else. And he still calls me at least every other day and tells me that he still cares for me but he don't think that we were mint to be together for ever that is way he broke up with me.

I would ignore him, and the best start to that is by not answering your phone. He doesn't want to be with you, and doesn't want anyone else with you. He is a control freak, and doesn't want to see that anyone else could make you happier than when you were together. Move on with your life, and don't let your life become his.


I just trimmed it for the first time ever. I didn't shave, just trimmed, and not too short.  It itches like all get out with my underwear on.  Why is this and what do I do?

Oh, don't ya just hate that! The hair just sticks up a little more, now, that's all. Don't worry, it'll grow back soon enough.


What does it mean when Christains talk about the Last Days?

When Jesus returns to earth from heaven to bring the Christians home to heaven and the many things that are going to happen during that time.  It's a good thing you're thinking about this, as do you know what is going to happen to you after you die?  And are you sure?  How are you sure? Talk to a Christian pastor and he could explain to you in detail about what the last days entail.  God bless you.  I'll be praying for you.


I'm interested in anything relating to the history of immigration laws in california, especially state laws and sources where I can read about that topic.

California did not exist prior to 1850.  It was 'territory.'  The US immigration policy was largely non-existent prior to 1790.  You may find Benjamin Franklin's observations noteworthy however.\nThe Close-Up foundation has a VERY good discussion of this issue.  I wrote a "Debate! Citizenship" cd-rom for McGraw a few years ago for the Patterson textbook....you may be able to get hold of THAT....it has ORIGINAL documents and primary sources that may be able to 'walk' you through the US Immigration policy.  \nAs far as California goes, their last 'attempt' was Prop 187 and the Supreme Court declared much of it unconstitutional and an overreach by the state, in violation of the federal arrangement respecting 'reserved powers' of the US Government to determine 'citizenship.'\nhope this helps.


Most of them are pro because they are prostitutes whoring themselves for votes.  They don't care about the people who have made this country and deserve the right to not have their votes cancelled out by a bunch of people with no respect for us or our laws.

1. Soccer- 99% of the world can't be wrong\n2a. American Football- The NFL is worldwide\n2b. Rugby- Close to the NFL\n4. Baseball(just Cricket with some rounders added)\n5. Cricket- Not a big enough audience


No because it is hurting someone. It is hurting the store especially if it is done on a repeated basis. And that in turn hurts the customers who have to pay more in that store.


All web pages display the URL in the browser address window but I'm thinking of displaying the URL as text on the web page to add visual interest and to reinforce the web address.  I would like to see examples of other web sites that have done this to provide inspiration on the proper placement/use of the text URL.

This is how you do it:\n\nExample:\n\n<a href="http://www.nismo.org">Nismo Racing


At the end of the night I go back and think who was the hottest guy/girl I seen that day? It can be a movie star or someone you met, or made eye contact with in a shop. Who is your hottie of the day?

this girl (alicia)i see every time at the grocery shop where she works.it's so hard to find the courage to tell her i like her without it being weird.\nsometimes i wish i could read minds just to know what she thinks of me because she did smile at me and made a joke but i think blew it when i smiled when i should have laughed.


I am looking for a website where I can upload my photographs and sell them online. I want the site to print them and sell them for me. I want to be able to set prices but I understand the website will take a percent or charge a fee. Does anyone know of a site like this? If possible, can someone provide a decent/cheap site that offers these services?

You can try Kinkos to print and ebay to sell.


10 years ago, I got married. The 100 shares that I had prior to marriage has increased in value. Do I have to share the earnings with spouse in divorce?

Did you sign a prenuptial agreement?  If not, than I think you do have to share it.


After breaking up with bf, i feel being lost, i try to find another man who is better than him for being happier,i want to forget him and prove that i could be stronger and happier. But it seems that i've totally lost myself, i don't know what i really want, it becomes seriously dangerous.

We all have our own individual strong and weak points respectively, so I wouldn’t suggest making comparisons as it’ll only leave you all the more disoriented.\n\nYou too would have probably come together with your EX on seeing something you really liked about him though on finding certain incompatible ground, decided to break up.\n\nYou have your own unique personality and would probably get along well with someone similar to yourself. \n\nThus try and find someone who’s personality resembles yours. That way too you’d still have differences (like everyone else has) though the similarities will outweigh the differences and you would find it easier to compromise with those differences and stay happy.\n\nLast but not the least, since you’re still trying to reflect on your EX continually, would there be a possibility of a compromise between the two of you? If you thing there is a chance and is worth it, then take that chance. And if you really think that he’s over and done with then don’t look back or else you’ll end up getting all the more disoriented and probably hurt too..\n\nHope you make the right decisions and stay happy.\n\nAll the best.

Sex before marriage is not a good idea. I would rather have waited till I got married however, I was young and foolish and wanted experience. Well, after you're experienced what is there to experience more? You keep on having sex, right and so if I were to change this I would have waited for the right time. But this is just my opinion. Different people have different opinions.


Is it possible to maintain the same closeness they had before they got married?

We get wrapped up in our little world of taking care of our family's..\n\nMaybe since you notice this you can talk to your brothers and sisters before you drift to far apart.


First it was the 9/11 revenge...\nThen it became Iraq.\nThen it was all about Sadam Hussein (again).\nThen it was about weapons of mass destruction.\nThen it was "liberal terrorist allies".\nThen it was all about the UN\nNow it's all about making Iraq a happy little democracy...\n\nWhy does the reason for the war keep changing to suit public opinion? (and failing to do so)

One lie after another.\n\nWe're all apathetic to the suffering of the world and would rather vote for the American Idol than write to a Congressman about a war in which so many people are dying.\n\nI guess, as Americans, we are okay with people lying to us and using our money to fund those lies.


have you got a paladrome that is better than this;\nyou can cage a swollow, can't you? but you can't swollow a cage can you?\n(just in case you don't know what a palodrome is - it is a word or sentence that reads forwards as it reads backwards)?

That is NOT a palindrome...\n\nYour definition of a palindrome is correct, also it has to be spelled the same way beginning to end, and end to beginning, so your example isn't right...  Here is an example of a palindrome:\n\nAh Satan Sees Natasha\n\nNow, starting from the end of "Natasha" take the 'a' and work your way backwards till you reach the 'A' in "Ah"..It spells the same front and back...Get it?  Here is another:\n\nBar Crab\n\nand another:\n\nBoston did not sob\n\nand another longer on:\n\nCigar, toss it in a can, it is so tragic\n\nSo you see, your "palindrome" wasn't even a palindrome after all...

A couple runs out of gas on a dimly lit road. Instructing his girlfriend not to open the door for anyone no matter what, the guy starts walking towards the nearest gas station. 30 minutes later, she falls asleep and suddenly, someone knocks on the car window. She freaks out and makes sure all the doors are locked. Then the stranger dangles the car keys with his right hand while she pushes the master lock button to make sure the stranger won't be able to unlock the doors. The stranger gives up and shows her what he's holding on his left hand........\n\nThe boyfriend's head.............................

A is false, thyroid gland is in the frontal part of the neck, just above sternum.


I need to move and quickly.  Where can I find the money for the first, last and security deposit?

I'm sorry to hear about your husband, but you seem to be doing all you can do right now with out killing yourself. I would suggest trying to borrow from a friend or family member. Sometimes we find that we have to sacrifice our most prized possesions in times of need, do you have anything you can sell worth value. I had too sell off my horses, that really hurt, but it was something we could live without.  Are you making payments on a car, if so you may want to try to work with refinancing or something to lower payments..  Good luck, things always work them selves out.. PHB


Socialism is about sharing out wealth and resources between everyone, the rich and the poor.  This is how we get the most good out of the resources we have.  There are different types of socialism - some people mean communism when they say socialism (everyone getting the same wage for every job) but some just mean people having a fair start in life, everyone being born with the chance to become rich if they are talented enough, and the welfare state.

It's pretty easy to keep up communication nowadays, with E-Mail and cheap phones. See if your parents will let you go spend a week at the house of a female friend back in Florida later in the summer.

Thank you.  I need to memorize this list for the next time I am at a dinner party and have to hear about Clinton not being ethical.\n\nI was taught not to talk religion or politics at dinner parties and yet Republicans always seem to do that. One would think with all the money they might have picked that up in charm school or something.  :)


Much of what Hitler brought about we are still unable to copy today. (A highway you can drive over 150 mph on) and Stalin gave us years of living in fear (the cold war).

I think a better way to put this is who killed more people in a genocide, the nazis or the russians.  The answer is the russians killed many times the number of people that the nazis did.  We should have destroyed both of these leftest causes while they were still relatively young (nazism is often misidentified as right wing where it was, actually National SOCIALISM).  Probably, it would have been much more wise to allow Hitler to wipe out the Russians, probably expending much of his military power to do so, and then mopped up the floor with him afterward.\n\nThere was nothing good about either regime.  If Hitler didn't force us to stop him militarily by invading all of his neighbors, the government was well on its way to collapse all by itself.\n\nThere is a saying that virtue is its own reward.  But, what is not said is that evil is its own punishment.  Values that are evil lead to destruction and eventual death of those who adhere to them.  This is a repeating pattern in human history.  Unfortunately, evil people rarely give their victims the luxury of waiting around until the bad guys off themselves.


i want to know whether the hymen is situated near the labia or further up the vagina and also if its intact then what would happen to the menstural blood, which as far as i can guess would'nt have an outlet

Here's a picture of where the Hymen is located (go to this link):\n\nhttp://www.coolnurse.com/anatomy.htm\n\nThe Hymen, even when intact, does NOT cover entirely the entrance to the vagina, therefore a woman can menstruate freely and normally.\n\nAs far as "confirming" the virginity of a girl....Well, that depends on your culture and/or religion...or ignorance level:\n\nIn today's world, a girl's Hymen may be broken or torn by various methods not related to sexual penetration, such as bike riding, vigorous activity (gymnastics, or doing splits for example), falling, masturbation with a dildo, use of tampons, accidentally getting hit or kicked in that area, etc, etc....\n\nSome cultures rely soley on the Hymen for "confirmation" of a girl's virginity, but as I've indicated above, The Hymen may be affected by outside influences not related to sexual penetration with a penis.\n\nFor the most part, however, the Hymen tends to be intact in most women. And the degree of blood loss and pain resulting from penetration with the penis, varies with every woman.\n\nAn intact Hymen is a good indication that a woman is a virgin, but she can still be a virgin even if the Hymen was accidentally torn, through no fault of her own.\n\nHymen, or no hymen, a woman is a virgin utill the first penis enters her vagina. And there is no way for you as a man to "confirm" her virginity. Only she knows.


CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) is a surface antigen, a small molecule that is part of certain cells in the body, which helps the cell to communicate with cells around it.\n\nIt is found on all 'T Helper' cells which are a normal and important part of the immune system.  Other cells in the immune system are responsible for picking up foreign molecules in the body, such as viruses and bits of bacteria, and these are then 'presented' to T Helper cells.  The CD4 receptor on the T Helper cells then recognises the molecule and activates the T Helper cell, starting an immune reaction in the body.\n\nT Helper cells are particularly important in fighting viral infections.\n\n\nHIV is a virus that infects CD4 T Helper cells, stopping it's ability to protect the body from infection.  As more and more T Helper cells are destroyed by HIV, the body can no longer prevent dangerous infections, and this is called AIDS.


What schools. What kind of jobs available when i have the degree.

Companies normally don't hire people straight out of school to be an executive no matter what degree you have. If you have no experience, they hire people at non-supervisory positions. After you gain experience and prove you have more than book knowledge such as good decision-making ability, then, you will be promoted to a supervisory position. After you prove you can manage people effectively, you may or may not become an executive. As for what degree, try MBA from an accredited business school.


As an African, I dont like the idea of getting funds from the west but since the western countries are taking all the children of the africa who have the brains to work for them leaving their home countries poor.  How can these countries develop yet we still get the so called investors who end up employing mainly their statemens in good positions yet with good pay, working conditions. And when we talk of good pay, these guys are paid in dollars, pounds, euros irrespective of the countries they are working in.. This money is sent back to their home countries... \n\nIts still these developed western countries who are designing and producing dangerous weapons which are in most cases being used by African dictators to kill innocent children, women. These very good learned western friends always have hidden agendas as you will find two different countries supporting say 1 supports the rebels with guns, medicine, education and the other supports the government.\n\nI have alot I could say but you  western countries need to visit care.org such that you can start supporting the africans,  healing the sick with AIDs, and many other problems caused by many of our brothers, sisters who have hidden agendas in conflicts in Africa and the World at large.


In the book Lord of the Flies, What does the conch symbolize?

The conch symbolizes power and social order. A turning point of the book is when the boys disreguard the authority of the conch (they don't listen to Piggy when he has it), from this point their society falls into disarray and chaos.

Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life in prison

He was convicted and jailed for five years in November 1962. While serving his sentence, he was charged, in the Rivonia trial, with sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment.\n\nA decade before being imprisoned, Mandela had spoken out against the introduction of Bantu Education, recommending that community activists "make every home, every shack or rickety structure a centre of learning".\n\nRobben Island, where he was imprisoned, became a centre for learning, and Mandela was a central figure in the organised political education classes.\n\nIn prison Mandela never compromised his political principles and was always a source of strength for the other prisoners.\n\nDuring the 'seventies he refused the offer of a remission of sentence if he recognised Transkei and settled there.\n\nIn the 'eighties he again rejected PW Botha's offer of freedom if he renounced violence.\n\nIt is significant that shortly after his release on Sunday 11 February 1990, Mandela and his delegation agreed to the suspension of armed struggle.

I only got them about two years ago, and I never had any before that. I think I'm allergic to some sort of plant pollen since they only happen in spring/summer, as well as nuts. Any theories?

Allergies are cause by being exposed to something.  The first time you are exposed to it no big deal but the more you are exposed to it the worse it gets.  So it takes a few years for somethings to bother you especially if it is just a spring allergy also the pollen may have been the strongest the last two years.


im trying to search an email address because im having problems and i was told to use commview. and then do a smartwhois and im not completly understanding how to do this

It was me. You need to IM them. When you are about to, select the modem in the list in CommView and hit the play button. Refrain from doing any web surfing or IMing at this time. Then, the only person you IM is the person who is bugging you. Then, you watch and see if an IP pops up in CommView. When you see it pop up, right click it and hit Do a SmartWhois Search. You may need to install it if you dont have it.

OK this is the deal.....I'm in relationship right and I got a request from some friends that they would like to have a 3some.....I'm in to all of that but when I came into this new relationship my boyfriend and I agreed that we would not see no one else....and that he was not into stuff like that so he would like me not to anything with no one else....

If he doesn't want you to do it and you love him enough to sacrifice a 3some for him, then don't do it. If this guy is just a guy, then dump him and have your fun. He might be willing to come around later on. You never know.


I think it's my favorite (smile).  I remember when it came out, and yes I am still alive.  Somewhat.

I love that song, and Pink Floyd in general.


Actually i hav got a file whose estention is BWD But Dont Know In Which Softwares it will open its important .Can u Please help me out to open the file


No atheists please. I am just asking this question to those of us that believe in God. What are the religions that make your blood boil just to know they actually have followers? Why?\n\nI'll start:\n\nMormons-The book of Mormon actually makes me laugh. How can you believe in a testament found in the US, that was written in golden plates, that was misteriously translated, and that only Joseph Smith and a couple of other witnesses (including his brothers) ever saw? The book doesn't even make sense (e.i. it says Jesus was born in Jerusalem when we all know He was born in Bethelehem).

Scientology! ughhhh tom cruise and his messed up beliefs! why should anybody have to have a "silent birth"?! its totally ridiculous and full of crap.

PRETTY SURE HE HAS A CAREER AS A STUD NOW


okay i know this girl. she looks at me and looks at me every where i go but she doesnt talk to me. i mean i kinda talk to her in the lunch and stuff but yeah it seemed like she was AVOIDING me when i tried to talk to her second day. i mean when i see her in hall way she waves hands and say hi. and when she waves at me she looks at me in to my eyes. BUT the thing is shes always with her friend when she waves at me.. i know it doesnt mean anything. i like her but idk about her. what u guys think? does she like me? WHY tell me the reason if she likes me from what i have told u. but i dont know how to make a first move. should i just ask her to help me with homework and start convo from there??? what if she says she cant help me??? idk plz help me. I KNOW I GOTTA TALK TO HER. AND IM GONNA DO THAT. I JUST WANNA know IF SHE LIKES ME back FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW. Also another question, what if she says YES if i ask her to help me with my homework after school or lunch. what is that mean???

The best that you can do and hope for is to jump in and try. Tell her that you would like to see her somewhere and maybe do something together. Try to have an actual plan. You'll find out quick enough. Good luck.


When I rip CD's on my computer I hear a type of static noise or hiss during different parts of the track during playback.  This happens everytime I do it too.  For example, if I burn approx. 10 songs at least 2 or 3 will have different parts in the track that have that noise.  Anyone have any similar problems or know how to fix this?  The only thing I can come up with is maybe there is a problem with my CD-ROM drive or something.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  :)


Who was most responsible for German unification?\n\n   A. Franz Ferdinand \n   B. Louis Napoleon \n   C. Clemens Metternich \n   D. Otto von Bismarck


Does our justice system really work?  We hear of stories of people wrongfully accused because of various factors, circumnstanical evidence and corruption by those who were suppose investigate the crime.

Yes, we do hear stories of people wrongly accused but that is truly the exception and not the norm.  After having spent the last five years as a litigator, I can honestly say that I have great faith in the jury system in this country.  Juries almost always get it right.  \n\nFor your edification, despite what we see on t.v., circumstantial evidence is not faulty evidence.  Almost every case is going to be circumstantial as crimes rarely have strong, independent eyewitnesses.  Most people do their crimes in private.  \n\nHere's a good example.  You go to bed one night, look out your window and see your garden shining in the moonlight.  The next morning you wake up and see a blanket of snow over your garden that was not there last night.  You didn't personally see the snow fall.  However, the snow on the ground is circumstantial evidence of it having snowed last night.  the fact that you have no direct eyewitness evidence does not mean that the evidence of snowfall is any less persuasive.  \n\nThat having been said, don't let the media's attention on so-called wrongly convicted felons make you jaded.  We have the best system in the world.  Its accuracy rate is phenomenal.  If you don't believe me, go sit in on a criminal trial sometime.  The courtrooms are open to the public.  To watch our justice system in action is awe inspiring.  Go watch.  You'll see that the system really does work very well.\n\nNot to say that it is flawless but it sure is good.\n\nNow, the civil system -- that's a joke.  But that's a different story all together.


what are the limitations of the Mudell-Flemming model?- this is a topic in macro-economics

Sorry I didn't see your question sooner.\nThe Mundell-Flemming Model assumes a small open economy.  Specifically, the country being studied can't affect world prices.  Open includes openess to financial flows, as well as goods and services flows.\nOne implication is that no single country can affect the interest rate.  There is world interest rate, r*.

Everyone can catch fish on all these different colored lines, does the line color even make a difference?

Here we go on this topic, a good one.  Red is indeed the first color to disappear underwater --- HOWEVER --- the colors on the spectrum will all disappear as the presence of light disappears.  The less light, the more the colors start disappearing.  If you're fishing at incredible depths of water where it is actually dark because the light of the sun has been spread out so much through the water it is virtually non existent, then yes, go for red line.  But, since most of us bass fishermen don't deal w/ that, I think the best thing to do is match the line w/ the type of water you'll be fishing in.  \n\nWhen I know I'm going out after a hard rain and the water is going to be muddy, I'll use the gold colored P-line.\n\nWhen I'm going to be in a body of water that has a high presence of algea which gives it a murky green tint, I'll use a green colored line.\n\nIf the water is going to be crystal clear, I'll use a clear line with the best ratio of strength/low diameter (usually spiderwire supermono).\n\n\nOne more thing that I like to say when this topic airs - I bet that half the people who say red disappears the quickest and therefore use a red line have a blood red bait on the other end of the line???\n\n\nIf red disappears so quickly, why are they sucked into the "Red triggers strikes" mentality???  Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?  If the line supposedly disappears, doesn't the red on the bait that triggers strikes?


I want to learn calculus so i can be able to keep up when i goto college for engineering. Are there any good books, software or online classes that i can take that would help me with the basics?

MathCad & Maple are both pretty good software for using Calculus, but you will probably not need your own copy for a while. When I was learning calculus I bought software to help learn it, but I never used it mainly because being a Chemical Engineering Student time was precious. It is possible it would have helped, but I ended up learning everything out of my books, except what the instructors made us do on a computer. Actually, I learned by doing an amazingly large amount of math. Later on I used computer software a lot, but not in my first two years of college.


I want to Know becouse I feel like sometimes i was born in the wrong centerie or somethin like i sould have been there with joephe in Egept! Iknow its weird huh!!

Axolotls are a type of underwater salamander.


looking for any rankings on french universities, the best, the worst. why or why not. Paris I?II?III?

First you must make a difference between the grandes ecoles (top and very slective schools for business engeenering etc) and universities (which are, at least for the first levels, open to anyone with a Baccalaureat). There's no real best French university has most of them have specialization. If you plan to come to Paris to study in an university, I would recommand Paris I, Paris II (for law) and Paris IV. They're the "historical Sorbonne" in the Quartier Latin and have good reputation even if they don't have the finances of your typical top American university.


I hear two common answers are Utah and Toronto.\n\nAny others?

Toronto and New York are the two worst scenarios in the NBA right now. Unless you count the Lakers. I wouldn't want to go there unless I was a defensive specialist because with Kobe on the team, I know that I would never get to shoot the ball.


Baseball is a well known sport amongst sport fans here in South Africa, but few of us know how to interpret the statistics. I have got Microsoft Baseball 2000 (old, yes) and I love it. So what does BB mean? Can anyone perhaps reccommend a site where baseball statistics are explained?


Yes  i'd like to know why are questions we ask some people don't like them it would be better to me if they don't like don't answer, but no they have time to write a smart crapy answer like what kinda question is that ?? tell me what is a perfect question i am confused.. and if you think your question is the perfect one ????????Who's question is likeable i wanta know i thought we were here to make someones day? hey this is just a question???

Why do people lie here?  Any one here can view other posters Q&A.  I personally try to read a persons previous Q&A before I answer a question.  I have found that some are at best inconsitant.  Why?


kilojoules and calouries?  How many kilojoules is in a calourie or is it calouries in a kilojoule?

Energy value\nA kilojoule is a unit which measures energy, in the same way that kilometres measure distance. A kilocalorie is the amount of energy (or heat) needed to increase the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1C. One calorie has the same energy value as 4.186 kilojoules.


I'm 5'6", 120lbs and 20 yrs old. my body fat% is 21% which means i have 25lbs of fat and 95lbs of lean muscle mass. what can i do to decrease my body fat% to 15% without going to a gym? some examples of workout schedules and eating habits would be helpful.

Cut the sugar out and refined carbs, Eat lean protein, like skinless chicken breast. good luck.


since he was born till she died..like a timeline

Betty Goldstein graduated from Smith College in 1942 and worked for five years before marrying Carl Friedan (divorced 1969) and settling uncomfortably into the life of a housewife, mother, and occasional freelance writer. Discovering in 1957 that several of her college classmates were as dissatisfied with their lives as she was with her own, she began a series of studies that eventually resulted in the landmark work The Feminine Mystique (1963). The book's thesis was that women were victims of a pervasive system of delusions and false values that urged them to find their fulfillment and identity vicariously, through their husbands and children. An immediate and controversial best-seller, it is now regarded as one of the most influential American books of the 20th century. \nIn 1966 Friedan cofounded the National Organization for Women (NOW), which was dedicated to achieving equality of opportunity for women. A founding member of the National Women's Political Caucus (1971), she was a leader of the campaign for Works by Betty Friedan ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. The Second Stage (1981) assessed the status of the women's movement. The Fountain of Age (1993) addresses the psychology of old age, seeking to counter the notion that aging means loss and depletion. Her memoir, Life So Far, appeared in 2000.


As we all know, junk mail can be filled with sweepstakes and raffles for us to enter into to win trips, money, and various other prizes.  But I've wondered if they're all legit?

"Sweepstakes" you find about via SPAM or crappy ads on certain sites (Hit the monkey with the spitball and win a FREE Ipod Nano!) are bogus at best, and phishing schemes at worst.  Not to say there aren't legitimate contests out there---Spam is just not the way to find out about them.

a few of my dreams became real and i felt like it had happen before, but thinking back, i remembered it was from a dream...

i had a dream after my great grandpa died. it was in black and white and the only thing that was colored in the dream was the coffin (which was light blue) and his eyes (also blue).he was lying in the coffin holding a tweed hat. in the dream, we were at his funeral and everyone was crying and he opened his eyes, and looked at me and asked me why everyone was crying and i told him that it was because he was gone and we missed him and he told me to tell them to quit crying, that he was happy now and that he was with God in heaven and with my great grandma. and then he closed his eyes, and i told everyone he woke up, told me not to cry, that he was happy...don't be sad...well, that was 3 days before his funeral. i attended his funeral and his coffin was light blue and he was cluching the same tweed hat that was in my dream...and i didn't have any idea what he was going to wear and what color the coffin was. \n\nThe point is that i do believe that dreams mean something and i believe that sometimes God reaches us thru them and they are meant to send us messages either for peace of mind or to give others comfort. I believe that i was my grandfather's messenger to the family telling them that he was exactly where he wanted to be and that they shouldn't mourn. the thing is, i didn't really know my great grandpa well and maybe i was a bit objective and that is why i was chosen but i was able to give my family great comfort when his death was unexpected. he had been healthy, very healthy and he died fairly surprisingly. So anyway, that is my take on dreams. not all of them have a profound meaning or really happen, but the ones that do, should be listened to...


Give me a list of all the countries in the world that do not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., Canada, U.K., or Mexico.  Or a source where I can look it up on my own.  A website would be helpful.  However I'll only give 10 points to a comprehensive list.

Why or why not? \n\nHow about homosexual but not 'openly' homosexual?

Not at all. If they are a good teacher, they are a good teacher. Put it this way; do you recall being influenced by your teachers sexuality one bit? I know I ceratinly wasn't. Things like homosexuality are part of the world, hiding it away from kids is not the answer.


I need a place to hold a car wash to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society but I can't think of any.

In our community car washes are often held in the parking lots of Jiffy Lubes.  Ask for donations of soap and other supplies from local car dealers or auto parts stores.  A couple of other things to consider are local ordinances.  Check with your city and make sure car washes are allowed.  Some areas of the country have water restrictions due to water shortages. Also, check to see if you will need insurance for the car wash.

I am looking for websites which speak quite extensively on Low Budget Airlines, telling what they are and what they do, and, perhaps, giving examples of them in Europe, the US, or wherever.

The difference between budget and cost would be a budget is the money they have to spend on planes, repairs, crew, etc... the cost is the ammount you have to pay.  However, do to them having less budget usually means their fares are lower due to them not having as many commodities.  So US Airways although might not have the best planes, crew, etc... will cost less than it's big flashy brother American Airlines.


We are about to loose our vehicle due to lack of work and we are behind 3 months payments.  We do not want to loose the vehicle or damage our credit any more than necessary, and they are wanting 2 months payments to keep from repoing the vehicle, in which we can't afford.  Any advice on how we can negotiate with them to keep our vehicle?

It is not a desirable option, but bankruptcy may be the only way to keep a vehicle needed for work in the situation you have described.  Contact a bankruptcy attorney soon for a consult.  Once the vehicle is repossessed, the fees will be even higher and will be due immediately along with towing/repo fees and and penalties then the vehicle often gets sold at auction pretty quickly.  Don't let it go this far without taking action yourself.  It is solvable with quick action on your part.


I liked him a year before her! What should I do?

Talk with your best friend. Perhaps, neither of you should date him. Never let a guy come between your friendship. Maybe one will give way, perhaps you both give him first dates and let him choose, but make sure the other one of you won't be jealous.


What are the primary beliefs of Celtic spirituality?

The Tuatha De Dannan (the People of Dana) are the gods and goddesses of some Celtic traditions. I think they are somewhat shamanistic. That is they recognize that all matter has spiritual quality. Rivers, streams, wells, and other bodies of water are specifically sacred and treasured items were given to the gods by throwing them into them. The Celtic traditions generally beilieve in reincarnation. They have a theological concept called 'transmigration of the soul', but I dont know anything about that. They recognized other non-material beings, other than gods, who were formed from the local landscape. These 'lesser Fae' would be like the Lady of the Lake, or a tree spirit that dwelt in a certain grove, or a gnome who lived in a certain mound. It is a good idea to be on good terms with the local spirits and often a dish of milk, or some treat, was left out for them. I have heard that the Celts were into the Triple Mother or had a Goddess Trinity, but that could just be a modern interpretation. It sounds kinda New Agey.

should auditors of financial statements audit the internal controls of the entity?? \n\nbest answer with reference get 10 points! :)

No. There needs to be a check & balance system.  It shouldn't be the same auditor for both financial statements & internal operations: there needs to be accountability.  It also needs to be performed by a competent, independent, objective, and unbiased auditors. The purpose is to verify that the subject of the audit was completed or operates according to approved and accepted standards, statutes, regulations, or practices. It also evaluates controls to determine if conformance will continue, and recommends necessary changes in policies, procedures or controls.


someone calling you names and giving me the bad finger running me down with the car

In California, calling people names and giving them the finger is not illegal.  \n\nYou need to try to avoid the person and if you encounter them leave or don't respond.  If you are coworkers or students, let an authority figure know.\n\nI'm sure this person has dislikes you for a specific reason which you have not described.\n\nI'm sure you know trying to run someone over with a vehicle is a crime.  If that is the case notify the police and file for a restraining order.\n\nIf the harassment is over the telephone you can file a report for harassing and/or threatening telephone calls.\n\nIf they make threats to you in person you must prove you had a reasonable level of fear and the other person had the present ability to carry out the threat.


how do you prepare to run a mile? what do you eat right before? and what can i do to gain endurance\n?

first you gotta grab your walkman or cd player and make sure it has the Rocky theme music and put it on repeat. run to your nearest meat vender and punch a couple of racks of ribs. find the nearest library that has atleast a million stairs. run up it and claim victory! and thats how i prepare for the Worlds Championship Boxing match....wait...what was the question again?


When you have a graph or a set of co-ordinants, is there an easy way to find the linear equation, or is it just basically trial and error in guessing what the formula is?  I am teaching math to someone for exams, but I forgot some of it.

Remember the y=mx+b form.\n\ncalculate the slope: m= y(1)-y(2)\n                        ---------\n                        x(1)-x(2)\n\nthen calculate the y-intercept (user either [x(1), y(1)] or [x(2), y(2)]\n\n              b = y - m(x)\n\nplug m and b into the y=mx+b form.


there always seems to be the same people winning at raffles ect...

Every time you feel the urge to enter a contest, put the amount you'd have spent on it in a piggy bank.  When you have $50.00 in the piggy bank put it in a savings account at your local credit union.  Repeat.\n\nSomeone has to win the contest/raffle/lotto/whatever, but the odds of that someone being any specific individual such as you are astronomical and not worth the price of the ticket.  Probability of winning times prize value should be more than the price of the ticket, but even then it might take longer than a normal human lifetime to reasonably expect to break even.


my daugter insists on disobeying me and mocking me.she has gotten to the point of not always telling the truth.i have a hard time beleiving things she tells me.please help!! mother going crazy!!!!

You have been probably too lenient and do not always do what you say you will do to punish her when she is naughty.  That is my guess...At 11, children are beginning to test more and more boundaries with adults.  As her mother, if you are weak, she will learn that quickly and use it to HER advantage.  If you keep letting her be that way, she will continue to get worse.  Basically, she has no respect for you, more than likely.  You have to be make her REALIZE that YOU have the AUTHORITY...the upper hand.  She's a child, she does NOT know more than you, but if you keep letting her think so, she will keep walking all over you.  Before long, you will have NO control and MORE problems.  \nI suggest speaking to a therapist or counselor.  You can get counseling anywhere for free if you can not pay.  Ask you local  social services dept, a school representative, your doctor, someone at a church, the phone book has blue colored pages called "The Blue Pages" or "Government Pages" where you will find this kind of information.  Any one of these places, in your city or town or village, or county, can get you the help you need.\nGood luck...bad kids are not born, they are made.

Hello Everyone. I'm 20 and running my own web design business. I don't have a lot of bills to pay which leaves me with quite a few thousand a month left over, I was just wondering how much of my monthly income should I spend for fun (entertainment, clothes). I'm also saving to buy a house (200-300k) for when I'm 25. \n\nThanks in advance.

Question for you......on your website you say that you designed the ps3 obsession website...but according to them at the bottom of their page it says it was designed & maintained by Fuseweb Service & Fuse Mayhem.\n\nHow about you stop lying about your work and how much money you have left over and get a life!!  What you are doing is plagiarism and that is illegal!!

If we have to let child sex offender or even rapers out of jail early, do you think we should at least casterate them, cut them balls off? That way they dont have the desire to commit another sex act?

The Bible states, if thine hand offends the then cut it  off. If thine eye offends the then pluck it out,etc. The same should be for every part of the body. Just be truly sure the person is guilty.

How Moses got the 10 Commandments....\n\n \nGod went to the Arabs and said, "I have\nCommandments for you that \nwill make your lives better.\n \nThe Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?"\nAnd the Lord said, "They are rules for living."\nCan you give us an example?"\n \n"Thou shall not murder."\n"Not murder? We're not interested."\n   \n \n \n\n \nGod went to the Blacks and said, "I have Commandments."\n\n The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said, "Honor\n thy Father and Mother."\n"Father? We don't know who our fathers are. We're not\n  interested."\n    Who my babys daddy? \n \n \n\n\nThen He went to the Mexicans and said, "I have\nCommandments."\n\nThe Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said\n"Thou shall not steal."\n"Not steal? We're not interested."\n    \n\n \n \nThen He went to the French and said, "I have\nCommandments."\n \nThe French too wanted an example and the Lord said,\n"Thou shall not commit adultery."\n"Not commit adultery? We're not interested."\n  \n \n \n \nThen He went to the chinese and said "I have \n commandments."\nThe chinese wanted an example and the Lord said,\n"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."\n"But we're commies and worship power. Not interested."\n \n  There is no God so you must worship your superiors \n \n \n \nFinally, He went to the Jews and said, "I have\nCommandments."\n \n"Commandments?" They said, "How much are they?"\n"They're free."\n"We'll take 10!!"\n   \n\n  \n\nThere, that ought to offend just about everybody\n\n  get over it

This is AMERICA !! If we want to display the 10 commandments then yes it is our right to display them.  This country was built on the principles of the 10 commandments and we should honor them instead of being ashamed of them.  Regardless of your faith, these are basics of getting along with your fellow man.  Just good sense.\nBut - not your joke of the 10 commandments.


A:\n\nhttp://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushresume.htm\n\nB:\n\nDick Cheney's Resume\n\nC:\n\nCarl Rove's Resume\n\nD:\n\nNone of the above\n\n*Note. A multi billion dollar corporation is much like the nation.You have millions of people depending on you and if you mess up you hurt the people.And if the people don't like you running things then the best way to fix the problem is to fire you.*\n\nAlso, unlike the constitution which empowers the American people with the responsiblity and right to pick their leaders and question their leaders and if need be encourage impeachment, a multi billion dollar corp can simply fire a guy without listening to a minority of strong supporters who refuse to see the ramifications of continuing to run things as is.\n\nSo, Who would you pick to run your company?Remember, there is billions of dollars and millions of Americans riding on your choice.....

Well, Karl Rove doesn't seem to understand the term "confidentiality", so he's out.\n\nDubya can't seem to get ANY job without the help of his dad, which leads me to believe the interview wouldn't go very well.\n\nCheney would probably be at the top of the list, except for the fact that he's the type of leader who expects his people to do what he's not willing to (check his draft record in the Vietnam war).\n\nI have to go with D:  None of the above.

im going to the dominican republic and i heard that i can take my gun while traveling if i completely take it apart and put it in the suit case that goes under the plane. i dont know if this applies traveling out of the u.s. or if its only within u.s. travel. its my first time in dominican republic and i would feel safer with my handgun. DR has a high crime rate.

I live in the Dominican Republic and you could really get in trouble if they detect you are carrying a handgun.\n\nYou being foreing, believe me, it might not be easy to get you out of jail.\n\nNo matter what other people say, dont travel here with a Handgun.


that was what she wanted to put him on first and we got scared and ran and said we have dealt with it since he was 5 and figured it would go away but it hasn't.  After a crying spell last night from him that he never ever does he disclosed that he has been depressed on and off for 2 yrs now and i am setting him up and appt with a mental health proffessional next week!  What can my husband and i expect to happen, please help us understand what are the steps we will all go through with this and what kind of meds will he have to be on?  Are they dangerous or does the benefits outweigh the risks!  I am so worried about him, all he does is sleep anymore, i know he is so depressed, my poor baby!

Bipolar disorder is _not_ known as maniac disorder, but rather manic depression.\n\nIf he has had problems with overactivity and depression both since the age of 5, it may be that he doesn't have bipolar but rather a combiniation of something like ADHD and depression. Such an early onset is very rare for both depression and bipolar however.\n\nIf he does have bipolar disorder, lithium is probably his best option. Therapies such as CBT can help to an extent, but treating the mania aspect particularly can be difficult.\n\nIf he has depressive disorder, a combination treatment of drugs and cognitive behaviour therapy is likely to work best, based on what studies have found in many, many people suffering from depression. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tetracyclics are the best/most modern/least side effects.\nLithium isn't very good as far as side effects go. However, it is the best drug treatment out there for bipolar, acting as quite an effective mood stabliser. It does have some nasty side effects however - but it's not too badly tolerated on the whole and is probably better than being manic depressive!\n\nIf he is just depressive, antidepressants these days are very good. I don't know of any long-term problems that persist with taking them and although if you stop taking them, you may go through mild withdrawal, they are not addictive. \nI have a degree in psychology and also suffer from depression myself. At the moment, I am taking a small dose of mirtazapene and have suffered very few side effects from it, which were well tolerated and disappeared within a couple of weeks of taking it.\n\nDon't be scared of taking psychotrophic medication! If it fixes or helps the problem, it's really no different to taking pain killers for a headache or putting a caste on a broken leg. \nDon't worry about the fact that it affects brain chemistry - if your son has depression problems, it will only help to correct them. It won't change who he is at the core but it will help him to better tolerate life.\n\nDepending on his age, it may not be a good idea to put him on antidepressants for a few reasons that you should talk over with your doctor - I suggest seeing a psychiatrist. Don't trust a GP to tell you everything you need to know. You should see a specialist, especially if you don't have the training to know what to do yourself. See a psychiatrist to talk about medication options and a psychologist to talk about behavioural interventions. Behavioural therapy has been showed to be as effective as medication and longer lasting, but better than either therapy or medication on their own is a combination treatment, especially at first!\nAntidepressants can give someone the energy/motivation to work on their therapy. This is an important consideration, especially if your son is sleeping all the time.\n\nYou could also consider bright light therapy - if nothing else, try to get him outdoors for a while in the mornings.\nExercise can also be of benefit. You'll probably have to drag him out, kicking, screaming and crying but if he can get some light to moderate exercise in the sun, it may help his mood a little.


I began working at 23 at the document control department. 13 women, me the only male. All 13 of them, over 30, single, fat, ugly, and BITTER. As soon as I got there, all of them used to tell me how unhappy they were they didn't hire someone attractive. After a while, they would play at game at lunch of who could name the most reasons why they would never go for me. I found this weird coming from a bunch of old single women. One day I just got fed up and told all of them. "What the **** gave you the idea I would want to go out with either one of you fat bitches, you are always going to be alone and single".

Hell no I wouldnt have done anything differently, you done the right thing man! If there going to be that way, you done the right thing! If there going to sit around and play that lame ass game, then they deserved to be told that!!

It's so weird. everytime i talk to my best friend Josh, i start hiccuping. We've been friends for almost 8 months. But it doesnt happen with anyone else. He and i both believe in the paranormal/magic/omens. so do any of you guys think you know what this means?


i was driving 90 miles an hour down the freeway , i had a large bumble bee in the back window ,as i was driving the bee flew from back window to front window . if it flew from back to front ,sence i was already going 90 M.P.H. does this mean the bee was flying fast then 90? and if he wasnt why wasnt he smashed against the back window?

that's called relative velocity.....for the bee the car was still.....


There was a dead man in a tub with me. I turned him over and started humping his A$$hole does this mean i'm going to be Gay? I'm currently 16 and have no feelings towards guy

Sex in dreams is NEVER about sex. It is always something diffrent. Sex can mean that you need attention, it could mean that you are going through changes, you could be frustrated in school or life, there are several things that sex can mean in dreams, but it is 99% of the time NOT about sex. You also need to analyse the other things in the dream, like the bathtub. Tub=cleansing. I dont know you or the things in your life right now, nor do I know the other factors in your dream. \n\nJust don't worry, that dream does not mean that you're gay.
