They sold them to soldiers that were pressured into buying them too.  No one want so bring it up because if they do then they will be "trouble makers" or "negative individuals".   My upper level chain of command are bad people.

If this is the only bad thing they have done I would just let it slide. If your leadership is routinely making poor decisions you can contact the the Brig CO or CSM (anonomously if you prefer). If Brigade does nothing then you can take it up to Division. I'm just an ROTC cadet and I don't really know whats going on in your Unit but that is the standard precedure for taking action. I would first contact your platoon or company leadership and address the problem to your superiors. A CO or senior NCO can't fix what they don't know about.\n\nBeing an ROTC cadet I don't have a lot of real world experience. I only answered your question because I am almost 100% sure no one else would have. This is why I would recommend talking with someone in your unit who has had a lot of time in the service. See a Platoon Sergeant or the First Sergeant for some feedback, their job as NCOs is to take care of their soldiers.


And if you questioned him/her, aren't you really doing as they said?

The reason why I asked my first question is because im cheating on her adn i wont to kno if im showing those symptoms of cheating and will she be able to find out I love her but this new girl has a little more to offer plus i was with the other girl first anyway im acutally cheatin on both please HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP.

good luck but girls have a six sense , its a weird feeling that makes her feel insecure she will start asking question wondering where you are at. Then you will slip and get caught.


ok i've had a off and on relation ship with this girl and i love her but she dosent love me she is only dating me to be nice because we were friends since we were 3 im afraid that if we split that are friendship will never heal im afraid to lose our friendship what should i do

You can always say I think we should test our waters for a little bit. Or I'm just not feeling it right now..I'm having a lot of stressful things going on and I need some alone time. Why would you want to be in something that you don't like anyways. And if you love something you always go back. You can just be friends with benefits.


that is, measuring one's body to get the most comfortable and efficient fit when choosing a new bicycle

You made an excelent question, and often an overlooked factor when buying a bicycle.\n\nAs a rule of thumb never buy a serious bike at a departament store, always go to a local bike shop, where you will get great advise.\n\nThe most important measures when buying a bike are\n\n1.- Frame size. There should be 1 or 2 inches between your crotch and the top tube. A longer top tube will give you more stability.\n\n2.- Saddle height. Your leg should be slightly bent while sitting on the saddle and the pedal is at the lowest.\n\n3.- Handlebar Height/lenght. Depending on what you want to do, your handle bar could be 1 or 2 inches below the saddle (mostly MTB and race bikes) or even with the saddle ( touring ) - A short stem will gove you better handling.\n\n4.- Saddle. Once again it will be determined by your riding style, you should find the center of gravity for your riding\n\nThere are a lot of internet sites that could help you make a decision, I suggest you read more on the subject and most important, go to a local bike shop where you will get expert advice.

i went to dr. and ask for help she wrote a Dr note for a 30 day leave of absence to seek treatment and 2 weeks later i got a letter saying my job was terminated

It would depend on the type of job that you have, but a 30 day leave of absence in and of itself might be unacceptable to your employer.  Also, other things need to be taken into consideration such as your job performance before hand.  How often you were late or absent.  How well did you perform your job.  \n\nIf I came to my job asking for a 30 day leave to seek drug treatment I would be instantly fired because I work in a sensitive area where any type of drug use will get you fired.

Why did Sophocles include dramatic irony in his play "Oedipus the King"? Help me out

Irony is used to make a point, and it adds to the story.  Irony is used to throw a memorable plot twist into it - the best way to teach a lesson is with something memorable. He killed his father and married his mother, that is definately ironic, considering he was trying to avoid that fate. Basicaly it is telling you that you can't avoid your fate.

Do you personally think it works or does not work?

Capitol punishment does not work as it is now. Punishments must be public, swift and severe in order to deter. Public hangings detered.\n\nPay per view electric chair a week after your last appeal...say give you 1 year tops to finish the process. Now THAT would work.\n\nOf course, the innate flaws to our "best attourney wins" court system creates the potential in which innocent people may get executed before the time in which their innocence may be proven. This is the unfortunate finality that comes with capital punishment. But capital punishment can work. However, without swift, severe punishment that is viewable by future criminals, capital punishment will not work, and does not work in our society (20 years on death row? ridiculous)\n\nI found myself torn in the case of Tookie Williams recently on this very topic. If Tookie was executed 23 years ago, there would not have been public outcry to save him. Sure he maintained that he was innocent of the murder of the 4 people he was convicted of. But who really believed it (clearly not the jury), and furthermore, that was simply the one crime he was brought to court on. God knows you don't form one of the most prolific gangs our time has known without taking out a few people in your way, and a few people for the hell of it probably too.  Beyond that, the Crips that he founded have gone on to kill likely in the thousands. So he should have been executed (provided you believe in capital punishment to begin with), no question, and it should have been a walk out of the court room straight to the chair. \n\nBut our system is flawed, we let him sit on death row for more than 2 decades and during that time he may have rethought his life. He did some great works trying to use his position to influence kids to make the right choices, the choices he didn't make. Now we choose to execute someone that is in the midst of making a positive influence of our kids instead of the thug that brought many children to hell with him.\n\nIf you execute him in 1982, many good works don't get done, but if you do it publicly, you may send a more real message, and save many kids and their victims for years to come. After 20 years, we probably shouldn't have executed him at all. It was a waste, two fold.

Is it possible to lose your virginity (tear your hymen) to your tampon? Should a tampon only be used if you've had sexual intercourse and penetration already?

The tampon packaging says there's a hole in the hymen that allows the tampon to go through.\n\nDon't worry about using tampons before you have sex.  Many women do it safely.\n\nThe previous answerer got it right, though.  You're a virgin until you have sex, whatever the state of your hymen is.

For example, answers to questions posted at qa.yahoo.com.  Sometimes good answers are easily verifiable, but others are not.  Other web sources such as discussion groups and search present the same issue.

For one, you have to go with common sense. Most of the time, the answers that do not make sense are obviously not the correct answer. Also, try searching to find another reliable source that says the same thing, such as an encyclopedia. And also, a lot of it is an honor system. Wouldn't you only answer questions that you are sure you know the answer to?


So i have been talking to this guy for six months now. We use to talk on the phone for hours, and when we would hang out there would never been a dull moment. I really like the guy, i would do anything for him just to be happy. One day i was over at his house, and his ex came over. I was devastated, the calls stopped.He eventually called me, crying saying his ex girlfriend had fucked him over like she always does. I felt sorry for him, even though i know i shouldnt of. We started talking again, and after awhile i eventually let his mistake slip. As we would hang out more, i would fall a little more for him. He even told me he had feelings for me like i did for him, but wasnt ready for a relationship because he wasnt completely over his ex, he told me in time things would be better.Then he got shaddy and didnt call me for two weeks, he eventually called to thank me for his christmas presents but wasnt the same. I have no idea what to do should i give it time or talk to him or forget it?

Sounds like he has some issues to resolve before he can give you the attention you deserve.  I'd give him a framed picture of you - the two of you if you have one - and write your phone number on the back with a note that says, "Call me when you're ready to give US a try," then sign it all cutesie.  After that, I'd say talk to him on the phone, hang out if you want, but remind yourself (daily, if you have to!) that he is really not ready for you, and don't get hung up on him.  And don't buy him Christmas presents - a card will suffice until he's ready to be yours.  Oh, and one more thing:  don't ignore other guys while you're waiting for him to come around!  You may miss an awesome opportunity.


Do miracles still exist in your opinion?\nstate your case!

Absolutely!  God has always been there for me when I’ve needed him.


I would like to retire in 10 years and have no retirement set back so far.

It depends on how old you are.  Most retirement plans depend on the economic conditions at the time of retirement.  One person can take their 401k out this year and might get more money then the person taking it out the year after.  See, its all economics.  On top of the economics, its what you invest in.  When you put money in a 401k, you have experts putting it into mutual funds for you.  They take alot from you.  So, theoretically, you can buy your own stocks and make a heck of a lot more.  And instead of investing in them for 45 years, you can invest for 8 years and make the same amount or more.  This is true, however, you dont know what to invest in.  So, I suggest you start small and on something a bit more safe.  I will show you 2 or 3 of the best ways to do this.  I am a rare coin expert.  These ways are not fool proof because the economy goes up and down in a cycle of booms and busts.  But, they do cut out the risk because you only have 10 years left.  \nThe first method is through gold.  I suggest you buy the physical form and not stocks or anything of that nature.  You can buy the physical form and allow the sellers to store it for you.  Do not allow them to store it for you if they are just a small company.  I would rather take the physical gold with me.  There is a fee to take this gold with you though.  But, its better then not having it.  With gold, its always hovering at about $278 to about $315.  I would say that anything less then $290 is a good buy.  When you buy, they always tack on an additional couple of dollars because the gold was assayed into a gold bar for you.  When gold is high, they add like $4.  When it is low, they might add $7 dollars.  Dont worry about this.  Just pay for it.  I would rather buy bullion coins then the gold bars in the packages.  They cost $10 dollars above the gold value in the bar form.  Now, there are certain gold bullion coins that you should and shouldnt buy.  Its always best to go for the pure gold ones.  The reason being is, sometimes a jewelry store will take it in, but they will only pay for its content because they were going to melt it anyways.  And if it wasnt pure 24k, then they might have to take a couple dollars off to turn it into 18k or 14k, etc etc.  So, the purest ones are the Canadian gold coins, and the Chinese gold coins.  When gold goes down, you buy, when they go up, you sell.  Its that simple.  You cant lose because gold goes up and down all the time.  So, dont sell if you lose.  Just keep it there.  Whats the point of saving if you are going to dip into it?  So, over the course of 10 years, I know you can make a sizeable profit.  The question is large or small because you will not know when to buy and sell.  All you see is a profit when you sell, and you see a cheap price when you buy.  What you do is buy when its around $290 or less.  Sell, when it goes up.  And with the excess, you can buy more gold.  Just continue doing this.  I know for a fact that you can start off with $3000 dollars today and make at least 20 trades in the next 10 years and make no less then 100% of your investment back.  Gold is currently at $500 plus.  What if you bought it when it was $290 or less, which is what is preferred.  Thats over 200 per ounce.  So, in a year or two, do you see that you would have had over 5k?  You just have to wait till it goes down to around the 300 mark.  I mean, even if you buy for 290, and it goes up to 310 in 2 weeks, you can still sell and make 300 dollars.  That would add almost another ounce to your portfolio.  Continue to do this until you are about to retire.  During the last year, you will be waiting for the highest price you can find to sell.  Another thing to look into is instead of gold coins, you can buy grain gold.  They are just little balls of pure gold.  They are usually a couple dollars cheaper, but they are hard to obtain sometimes.  \nSecond way of investing is buying coins from the US mint.  They will be the cheapest price you pa

It was heresy to believe the world was round at that time in history.\nWhat convinced himthat others were wrong in their theory, the church included??

No one, not even the church believed the earth was flat when Columbus sailed. The major point of contention was just how big around it was. The biggest theologian in the Middle Ages, Thomas Aquinas believed in the spherical earth and died 218 years before Columbus sailed. Further, Dante's Divine Comedy, written between 1308 and 1321, more than a hundred years before Columbus sailed, describes a round earth. Finally, Bertold von Regensburg referred to the round earth in a sermon in the vernacular, letting us know that it was common knowledge even among the uneducated that the earth is round.


I'm currently taking spanish lessons and I'm interested in chatting and/or emailing people who speak this language, so I can master it.

I'm building a media center PC with Windows XP Media Center.  I need to put a video card in it now and I was wondering if the video card really matters so as long as it has TV out.  Well, I was going to get an All-In-Wonder so I can have cable in too.  But should I get a really powerful one or will it make that much of a difference on the TV screen?  I'm not gaming just movies and running a few apps.

See Below for a link to HD-Out cards.\n\nThe video card won't matter for TV watching but it will matter for DVD playback.  Even if you aren't going to game, some low end video cards result in choppy playback.  It depends on how much you want to spend but I like the GeForce 6600 or 6600GT with 128MB of memory.  If you go for the ATi camp then a Radeon 9600XT should be fine.  I know for a fact these provide smooth play back.  Though it depends on what type of connection you were going to use.  Most video cards have S-Video out but it depends on what you were planning to use.\n\nIt also depends on if you are going to use PCIe (PCI Express) or an AGP slot for the card.\n\nI would (depending on the type of connection you want to use) buy a seperate video card and get a PCI TV tuner card, if you have a spare PCI slot.\n\nFor HD-Out cards, see this page but stick to the guidlines above for the GPU, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?submit=PROPERTY&SubCategory=48&propertycodevalue=2328:14100&bop=and&order=PRICE\nMaybe you missed it, the above link will take you to a bunch of cards that have HD-Out.

I'm trying to start investing, I'm in my mid-20s and would like to start with a little risky investing with small amounts of money. ($200 here and there) where is the best place to start?\n(Stock market, mutual funds, bonds ???) also where can I get a good deal of information on this from the internet?

I would open an account with sharebuilder, there are very cheap and you do not have to buy tons of stocks. They have good investment tools also. In my opinion, the most important thing is to be consistant and make sure you are putting something away every week or month. It becomes a good habit and the money starts to pile up.


I'd like to live in the Bay Area, so I'm thinking of schools in Silicon Valley or San Francisco.

Get good grades in high school and college.  Do well on the LSAT.  Be involved in college in more than just classes.  BE GOOD in college.  Know that when you go to take your Bar Exam, you actually have to find "character witnesses" (and yes, that is plural) who do not share your last name, that will vouch for your good character.  Realize that the profession you are going into has higher standards for you than most people do!


My brother thinks there is and my sister doesn't think so because there is no gravity. I am settling this dispute because I don't know either.

Friction occurs when two objects rub together, and is not dependent on gravity. So there would be friction even in outer space.\n\nProbably you are referring to air friction, which happens when objects move through the air. Since there is no air in outer space, there will be no air friction. That is why a moving spacecraft can turn off its rockets and keep moving forever in outer space (as long as it does not hit something or is pulled by gravity of a planet, moon or star).


I just had to write a paper on this topic, and I was curious about what other people might think.

No. Honestly... its more "is this product worth $X to me." As for the whole sweat shop idea.. i think its alot of misinformation. The third world already has enough trouble attracting investment and exporting its goods we shouldnt boycott them when they can make something we find useful.


Seriously. Why are there hundreds of shows devoted to them? Who cares what brand toilet paper Britney Spears uses?

Because lots of people who like a certain celebrity consider them a good role model. When little kids see a celebrity they like, they consider them their "heroes", because it is based on how good of a role model they are.

I am a teacher of ESL students, and I am currently working on a thesis about improving academic achievement among these studetns. I am looking for ideas and research on the topic. Any help out there?

I have a few ideas that I think would be good possibilities for you.\n\nFor instance, many ESL students graduate with good reading and writing skills but their listening and speaking skills are not good enough for effective verbal communication with native English speakers.\n\nMy company has developed a unique line of English pronunciation software programs that can help ESL students fully develop their English listening and speaking skills.  \n\nMore and more schools are incorporating accent reduction classes as part of their offerings.  In fact the TOEFL has just changed to add a speaking section.  \n\nI would love to discuss this with you.

If Jesus made the apostles leave their families to follow him, does that mean their wives were left to fend for themselves, and their kids were left fatherless?

When Jesus talked about leaving their families, it did not mean physically leave. In fact, the Bible is very clear that the family is to be valued, honored, and cared for. What he meant was that there should be no one or any thing that we value more than we do God; that we should put following Christ above everything. The really great thing about it is when we do in fact do what he asks us to do, our life is better than we ever could imagine it to be. There is a great site that I've added below that offers online Christian books and Bible Studies. I highly recommend you going there and finding the ebook by Andrew Murray titled The New Life. Murry lived more than 100 years ago, but was an awesome teacher of the Bible and what it really means to be a child of God.

AMD was first established on May 1, 1969 and started as a company working out of one of the co-founders living rooms. AMDS's main goal was simple, they wanted to create a successful semiconductor company. By September AMD had raised enough money to open their first permanent home, at 901 Thompson Place in Sunnyrak. By the end of AMD's fifth yaer, there was around fifteen hundred employees making over two hundred different products, in their first five years AMD made nearly $26.5 million in anual sales. AMD's sales steadily grew throughout the years until 1986 when the tides of change swept the industry and Japanese semiconductor makers began to dominate the market. AMD, along with the rest of the industry, began searching for new ways to compete with the market. The solution, AMD began building its submicron capability with the Submicron Development Center. AMD's new ability to compete in the market led to the development of their microprocessors compatible with IBM computers. AMD increased drastically through 1995 - 1999 due mainly to their increasingly competetive product offering. With the development of the AMD - K6 processor AMD was able to become a serious competitor to Intel in the microprocessor market. \n\nAMD vs. Intel\n\nIn 1997 AMD introduced the first of a new line of processors, the k6, which was supposed to compte directly with Intels socket 7 CPU. The k6 processor had a definite edge over Intels chip. The k6 core was much more powerful then Intels and it also held a slight advantage in the MHZ departmant. Intel quikly countered the k6 with the PII putting Intel well infront of the CPU market. AMD began to challenge the market again a year later with the releasal of the K6-2 that had 100 mhz frontside bus and contained a new technology that enanched 3d games without having a graphics accelerator. The k6-2 began selling slowly but it quickly caught on in the OEM matkets and really caught on in the gaming worlds because of the 3D/Now techology that provided the extra edge that the gamers needed. Intel had control over the higher end computers but AMD was making a nice little hole in the gaming market until Intel tried to beat them again with the Celeron processor. At first AMD had no problem out doing the L2 cacheless chip but wiht the intoduction of the Celeron 300A, that could easily be overclocked between 400 and 450 mhz, going as high as 550 - 600 mhz with someluck and alot of cooling, AMD was facing a problem. The only thing that allowed AMD to compete with the Celron chip was its 3D/Now technology that still gave it the edge over the cheap and fast Cleron. A price war between AMD and Intel followed while AMD tried to compete with both the Celron and the PII but ing January of 1999 AMD actually outsold Intel. Though it was only one month of being the leader of the market it still gave the company the consumer confidence they needed to compete with Intel.


He baby, thanks. You too HAPPY NEW YEAR. BYE BYE


When we call an object something it denotes what it contains. Regarding colors: When we see a red box in white light we see it so because it absorbs all colours and reflects only red. But since it means that the box gives red, It has all colors but red thus making it yellow. So the box is yellow but we see it red,Right?

You are correct that the box is the color of the light it reflects.   Alternatively, you can say:  The box is the color not absorbed by the molecules on its surface.     But you would never say the box is the color absorbed by the molecules on its surface.   That is, your last statement is false.


Generally speaking it's not hard to buy liquid nitrogen from a welding supply shop, gas supplier or cryogenics company, but you have to bring your own Dewar and they won't fill anything other than the proper kind (at least they shouldn't). You might find a welding shop that rents Dewars, or you can buy one for about $300. You can contact your nearest gas supplier or cryogenics company. Price depends on quantity but for smaller quantities it usually costs around three dollars a litre.


I'm not talking about a single wish list for a single website.  I'm wanting something that I can go to any website and choose things to put on the wishlist.  This would be really nice for my husband and I to use for future holidays.

i have the monney, the looks, the hotts and i am smart, cool, and very out going so why won't she say she likes me?

Fame.Fortune,and money...those things would kill you.Start by assisting her in ways...than start to talk a little...then give her some gifts,roses,and a huge box of chocolate.than finally ask her out.get to know a few times.when you ready...show time.


we are only 15 but i am trully in love with her i can drive but i want to be with her she doesn't no that i like her so i really can just show up like i just came to visit even if i could drive i would really like some help

Sorry dude, either her parents are limiting her phone use or she is not as interested in you.\n\nDon't worry, you are only 15 and there are many other girls out there for you.


my right glad is so swollen that it is hard to swallow. it is also hurting.

You probably have strep throat or some form of infection. STD's tend not to grow in one's throat. I'd recommend going to the doctor to get a second opinion though.


I am going to a ski place to go snowboarding, and mabey spend some time with all of our guests. I hope not :( its soooooo crowded and all the reletives keep asking you really odd questions! So mabey I will chill with my friends in Miami but i cant find tickets to Miami (HELP!)i need a place to get tickets to Miami Fl for Dec 27th- Jan7th!

For the first time I am spending Christmas away from my Wife and kids.  I know how you feel when it comes to  relitives that are a little odd, but it is a different story when you can not be there, it's that "You do not know what you have tell it is gone" thing.  \n\nI well be sitting in Iraq waiting for Feb to come around so my year well be over.  Well there is always Valentines Day... *S*


im doing a project in my AP English class and would like to know what people think about derogatory words.

a derogatory word becomes offensive only when it is intended to be offensive.  This is why, I believe, "nigger" can be used by african-americans, but not by whites.  This is why my african-american student Antoine could call my white student Grace "my nigger", but Grace would have a more difficult time calling Antoine "my nigger"\nIt's all about context, connotations, and sensitivity (or insensitivity) to feelings.\nThis is also why this program turned the "n" word into a series of asterisks, rather than allowing my original post to go unedited.  The word is too commonly used in an offensive way, so even though I'm not trying to be offensive, it still won't let me use the word.

Live in NYC and want to buy a good light mountain bike with hybrid tires that isn't expensive. HOWEVER, I don't want to purchase a cheap piece of junk as I do A LOT of riding and need something I can rely on. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I live in a city too, ostensibly.  A few years ago, the bike I chose was exactly that, a light mountain bike.  I chose a Haro Escape.  It's expensive (good-quality) enough that I don't feat pot-holes and our crazy streets here.  Cheap enough I recognize its weaknesses and don't sweat (too much) when I lock it up to grab a video or soda on my routes.

like when my BF says me and my cousin were riding on the go-cart it was like eeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!!

Not always, but they are good at making sound effect to imitate or describe the things they were doing.  I don't know if all men do this all the time, but I know even my husband will imitate a sound every now and then.. but usually at the garage while explaining what is going wrong with our car... maybe that's why girls aren't good with cars.. they don't make good sound effects.\n\nBut I once gave a girl that worked at the store a ride home after her car stalled, and every time I turned a corner she would say "Eeaarrrpp"..imitaing squeeling tires, I thought she was odd, and so did my passengers.

I doubt that you can go to a legitimate college to learn dental hygiene without taking basic courses. Dental hygiene is a health care profession and it requires that you know a lot of information, and you need basic courses to get the background information that you need to do the advanced courses. You also work with real patients, this is a regulated field, and there are probably certification/licensure requirements that specify that everyone must take basic courses.\n\nYou don't say how old you are, but if you are still in high school you may be able to take some of the basic courses as advanced placement in high school and be able to bypass some of them in college.\n\nYou could do a less-skilled variation of dental hygiene (I don't know what its called, but something like a dental assistant) that requires less education. But don't do it if you really want to be a dental hygienist.


Of all the characters to work with on our keyboards, why couldnt a question be followed by an exclamation point?  What makes the "?" so special? Why was it chosen? and who chose it?

For the war in Iraq he implied that there was weapons of mass destruction, he was dead wrong now were in a heap of debt and crap because of that silly hill billy from Texas.(not to be racist but he has made quite alot of stupid mistakes.)

"He who is without sin, cast the first stone."  All of you should be ashamed for the hatred that you show towards indviduals, even though your reference to hate is only subtle.  If we asked for every president to apologize for their mistakes, where would we be?  I'm not condoning the man, but I cannot accept the answers you give as those from knowledgable, thinking, unbiased people.


I use to be the  type of person that had no worries now that life has gotten a little harder its like an eye opener.Seems like i was expose to something new(life) so now instead of living my life i worry about it.i finally have goals an do not know how to execute them.

Try treat each thing one by one. and try to live one day at a time. All the best


Hey, any expierenced bowlers out there that can give me some pointers on how i should have it drilled weight ect.

It depends highly on your play style. If you're used to throwing house balls, which are plastic with a static core, then it'll take a lot of practice to get used to the custom balls. They have what's called a "dynamic" core; it's smaller, more dense, and helps impart spin on the ball to create the hook you see professional bowlers throwing. Choose a comfortable weight; remember that lighter balls won't have the same power through the pocket as heavy ones, but heavy balls are harder to throw and sometimes control. In the long run, choose a ball that just -feels- right to you. Trust a bowling alley's pro shop owner with the decisions he gives for you, and ask the guy a LOT of questions, because he'll know the answers.


I had been saving cash for a rainy day, and would like to deposit it.  However, I don't feel like paying taxes on it again.  I know that there's a certain amount that banks have to report.

According to this site, "The BSA requires banks to maintain records of funds transfer in amounts of $3,000 and above."\n\nSo, if you deposit like $2500 or something, you should be fine.  Just don't deposit like $2999, or that'll REALLY set them off (I think they call that "smurfing" and they look out for it.)


The other day I saw my husband putting a profile on blackplanet and I didn't say anything, but in my mind I thought how dare him and we are married.

Absolutely not. How did you not kick him as hard as you could? You have more self control than I do. Whenever he is not home go and put your own profile on that same website and start sending him messages and just mess with him a while. Set up a meeting (if he goes for it) and bust him there. Then after he knows you know, talk about why he did it and see if its something he did out of boredom or for another reason. Good Luck!!


Though according to theory of relativity.. light is constant and cannot be speeded or slowed...this question is purely theoretical...

When the light speeds up it gains mass, so it should loose mass when it slows down.\n\nSo you are right. Light has zero rest mass. So it will be as if it was non existant when its at rest. But we know when light hits any other particles it converts to energy and reveals its presense ( We humans also detect light with eyes, but its similar process of how objects get hot in summer with light ).\n\nNewton's Corpslcular theory can be very good classical explantion of mass/energy relation of light if every were normal classical photon. But we all know that Newton was wrong, and light will not change its direction slowly to conserve energy, but when it hits any smooth surface it retracts immediately. So its velocity at that point of hitting is zero for very very very short periods of time, and again its back to light speed. So your question does not have a classical or quantum explantion, but reltivity theory can be used to understand it.


I feel at the rate things are happening in bio/nano tech its gonna be before that! 30 years feels too long. \n\n`The Singularity` refers to a future time (Kurzweil says around 2045) at which technological progress accelerates beyond our current ability to understand it.\n\nDoes `current ability` refer to our ability in 2045?\n\nSee: http://homepage.mac.com/iajukes/blogwavestudio/LH20050626175313/LHA20051012183813/\n\nOnly `no answer` is a bad answer...

My kin needs a kidney transplantation and I plan to give 1 of my kidneys. Please explain what  could be potential impact on my natural way of living, after my kidney donation.

I received a kidney from my aunt in March. She really wanted to do it, and she did very well. She had surgery on Thursday and was out of the hospital 2 days later - Saturday. Up and walking around and going to restaurants and visiting ME in the hospital. \nThere is a very small risk of death from the surgery itself. I like to think of it as equivalent to a few years worth of normal traveling around in a car. So, you have to think whether the risk is worth it to you. Also, there is some higher risk of lingering pain or other post surgery problems. My aunt is doing fine. Statistically, I don't think they've found any increased likelihood of disease, except maybe a slight tendency toward slightly higher blood pressure. \nThey do advise you not to take Advil (ibuprofen) or other NSAID medications for pain relief, I believe. \nThe best website I know for living organ donors is\nhttp://www.livingdonorsonline.org/\nLots of info, and personal stories, and a bulletin board for discussing it all, both good and bad.\n\nSome info from livingdonorsonline:\n"These studies and others like them strongly suggest there are few if any consequences from donating a kidney. However, some precautions naturally are in order. For example, you may need to limit or give up activities that could damage your remaining kidney, such as rough contact sports (boxing or American football). Pregnancy for the most part is not a problem following donation, but a female should let the obstetrician know they have only one kidney so kidney function can be monitored.\n\nAs noted above, some studies have shown a slightly higher risk of high blood pressure and proteinuria. These risks can be managed and monitored through regular physical exams, blood tests, and urine tests."


i'm trying to buy some for my father.  he said he is a 17.5 32/33.  What about waist, do you need that measurement or all they all the same?  Quick, HELP!  Thanks!

As soon as I start my Internet Explorer, a winfixer window pops up asking me to install the software. IE crashes within 2 minutes of this pop-up. I've used Ad-aware and MS Antispyware, but they couldn't help me. Can you?

There a number of ways to remove winfixer which involve playing with your registry. If you are an advanced user and are comfortable with such operations, then you can google for websites that have solution. On the other hand you can use third party software like Computer Associate pestpatro . it shd do the job!.\n\nHTH


i understand that they are all linked by duddits, but what is the reason for the actual dreamcather?  it seems to be a big symbol, but i cant figure out what it is.  Any body know?

Remember how everyone made a Dreamcatcher and Duddits connected them all? Well it shows there intertwined relationships plus that the fact that each person knows somewhat what the others are doing . If you make a Dreamcatcher and you screwup one one side the other side is going to be screwed up also. So when Jonesy was hit by the car everyone could feel it because they are connected like a Dreamcatcher. Duddits was the center, without him they weren't totally connect, hence the reason why Duddits pointed to the center Dreamcatcher in the flash back...he was the center he held everyone together.


I would like to know where I stand if I took my psat test how would I rate on the new sat test...

SAT scores are typically somewhat higher (50-100 points overall) than PSAT scores.  Because you're learning all the time, right?  Also, the PSAT results come with a detailed analysis of where your weak spots were, so that a dedicated student can snag a practice book or surf on over to http://www.number2.com/ for some free test prep.  Think twice before spending tons of money and time on test prep; the list of schools that are de-emphasizing standardized tests is getting longer every year (this year's additions include Drew University in NJ and the College of the Holy Cross in MA).


what if the person is being paid under the table in cash?

It depends on your insurance carrier, whether or not you run a business in your home or if te worker just happens to be going to your home for a specific reason, but normally works elsewhere, and it probably isn't a good thing to mention that you pay them under the table.  \n\nIt also makes a difference in how you present the loss/liability to your insurance company.\n\nSo it isn't a black or white answer, you need to offer much more information.

I'm looking to buy a new notebook and needed to know which is the faster processor. Intel? Or AMD? I was convinced that I wanted a HP 3.4 GHZ Intel p4 processor, but then I heard that the new Intel's get so physically hot, that you have to prop it up onto something. Is this true? And if so, is AMD the way to go? Thank you.

AMD is far superior to Intel.  In laptop land you will want to look for a AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 3500+ or 4000+ and if you can get the 4000+ you will be one very lucky, person.  I wanted the laptop with a 4000+ processor in it and they ran out of stock before I could get over to Best Buy so I guess I'll have to make do with my 3000+.\n\nIf you're looking for benchmarks, see the link below.  Notice all the processors at the top are AMD.


Our next door neighbour is a lovely quite elderly widow who lost her husband to Alzheimer's. She is *very* good friends with a gentleman who is also fairly elderly, whose wife is in a home with advanced Alzheimer's. Although they do not live together, they spend a great deal of time together, going away frequently on trips (he is an emeritus professor and lectures on cruise ships, etc). How should we address a Christmas card to them? Should we send two separate ones, or one joint one? They seem fairly traditional in their tastes and behaviour and we would not wish to cause offence by being either too familiar or too stand-offish / prudish!

send them separated cards, since they are traditional, and since they havent made any further announcement about the kind of relationship they have, it seems they want the others to treat them as just "close friends".


I am interested to know, in simple, layman terms, why or how 'forces' work on objects, especially how one object can affect another object from a distance. Any explanation from a physicist would be much appreciated. Thanks

Its because physics seems to be really confused about this issue. We're all taught that Gravity is a force of attraction between masses. However, when you look at General Relativity you find that it is not. It is the warping of space-time by mass that causes masses to follow curved geometries that make it look like there is a force acting between them. Where it is really confusing is that then they say that Gravity is transmitted through gravitons - which seems counter intuitive to the whole GR scene. I think that's why Physics is still struggling to find a GUT (Grand Unified Theory) - they are trying to shoe-horn gravity into a place it doesn't belong.


If we can't take our shirts off then neither can they! Am I right?

this is really interesting me... female has very preasure thing on their body, so you have to be proud about that u know... like me n other female...

Kinda cool that there's an exorsist named captain howdy.


yes and no... yes because she's done what no indian has done and done it very fast.. we're proud of her.. to excel in the world is not a joke... no because with adulation comes responsibility & the fact that she becomes a public figure & hence people get to comment on her and pull her down from the pedestal that the nation has kept her on.. instead of giving her the support to do her best to reach the highest level..


Example: 'niversi' is a small portion of four registered trademark-names for different universities. Would it be legal to have a domain-name 'niversi.org'? Is there a simple guide to such issues?

I need more info to answer this question. IF you are only taking NIVERSI from the word UNIVERSITY, well then you are OK because no one owns the word UNIVERSITY in any field. If trademarked as part of an educational service name, then you will find the USPTO will require you to disclaim UNIVERSITY. Your use of NIVERSI is actually very distinctive! Now, you need a comprehensive search to see if there are other conflicts or similarities that really affect you. See trademarkexpress.com.

i think there are different questions for your regular optometrist versus the doctor who will actually perform your LASIK surgery. i believe it's your optometrist who would be the best person to determine if you'd be a good candidate for LASIK surgery.\n\nfor your optometrist:\n- what makes me a good/bad candidate for LASIK?\n- what center would you refer me to and why?\n- what problems have your other LASIK patients reported after the operation and what did you do about it? did/were you able to apply learnings to another patient pre-LASIK?\n- how much will my insurance cover?\n\nfor your LASIK surgeon:\n- what's the procedure?\n- how many of these have you done?\n- can i get a referral list or testamonials?\n- what other centers have you performed LASIK at?\n- what's the pre and post surgery experience/procedures?\n- can i get a valium pre-surgery?\n- can i get a video of the procedure?\n- is the follow up with you or my optometrist?\n- is there any sort of warranty? terms?\n\nmy optometrist who i had been seeing for 6+ year suggested i was a good candidate because my vision had been largely stable for that duration. also, given my age at the time (29), it would be some time before my 40s when she expected my vision to worsen. she'd always mentioned how dry my eyes were with my contact use so she suggested a temporaty lacrimedic implant. these are self-dissolving plugs that she placed in 2 of the 4 tear ducts in each eye. this would keep my natural tears in my eyes longer. she commented how some of the negative post-LASIK symptoms (dry/tired eyes and blurry/double vision) can be attributed to dry eyes.\n\nmy sugrgeon was really good. hit me with a valium before. let me leave with a video. explained everything as we went along. even called me at home later to see how i was doing. my optometrist watched the dryness in my eyes closely. when she noticed increased dryness in my eyes after the temporary lacrimedics dissolved, she suggested permanent ones. not a problem since.


i know very little of it. can anyone enlighten me?

My favourite theory so far is the eruption of gas bubbles in the region, whether from instable methane hydrate or other sources.\n\nThe effective density of water gets reduced when gas bubbles are pushed through it, causing ships to sink.\n\nAircraft might be affected, too. Most Bermuda Triangle mysteries are about uncommon disappearences.\n\nThis won't explain any temporal or spatial displacement stories, but proof for those is shaky, IMO.


How to calculate the Capacity of capacitor for 100 KW motor ? please tell me how ? i want to improve it to unity.

The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power to the apparent power.\n\nIn a purely resistive AC circuit, voltage and current waveforms are in step, changing polarity at the same instant in each cycle. Where reactive loads are present, such as capacitors or inductors, energy storage in the loads result in a time difference between the current and voltage waveforms. Since this stored energy returns to the source and is not available to do work at the load, a circuit with a low power factor will have higher currents to transfer a given quantity of power than a circuit with a high power factor.\n\nReal power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. Due to reactive elements of the load, the apparent power, which is the product of the voltage and current in the circuit, will be equal to or greater than the real power. The reactive power is a measure of the stored energy that is reflected to the source during each alternative current cycle.\n\nAC power flow has the three components: real power (P), measured in watts (W); apparent power (S), measured in volt-amperes (VA); and reactive power (Q), measured in reactive volt-amperes (VAr).\n\nThe power factor can be expressed as:\n\n. \nIn the case of a perfectly sinusoidal waveform, P, Q and S can be expressed as vectors that form a vector triangle such that:\n\n \n\nIf φ is the phase angle between the current and voltage, then the power factor is equal to , and:\n\n \nBy definition, the power factor is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1. When power factor is equal to 0, the energy flow is entirely reactive, and stored energy in the load returns to the source on each cycle. When the power factor is 1, all the energy supplied by the source is consumed by the load. Power factors are usually stated as "leading" or "lagging" to show the sign of the phase angle.\n\nThe power factor is determined by the type of loads connected to the power system. These can be\n\nResistive \nInductive \nCapacitive


What is the coefficient of friction for snow and plastic?

Although snow is made of ice, their coefficients aren't exactly the same because snow is a crystalized form of ice; therefore, snow has a rougher surface. I found a number for a ski board (waxed wood) on snow, which is .14. Plastic is similar to waxed wood, in a sense. I hope this number is more accurate, and good luck on your physics project.


How does it add to your life? How does it affect others around you? Does music infuence you in any way? how?

usually it makes you feel better if your sad.


i have this oregon scientific weather radio and i typed the codes from the sit we have watches and statement in the area but it the weather radio does not pickthe alerts up is it becuase of the battery or does it have to get used to the area

Alerts aren't issued all that often. There are freeze alerts, dangerous weather alerts, fog alerts, etc. You have to have one of those situations in your area before you will get to see your radio respond to an alert. If it is giving watches and statements for the right area, it will give alerts too when they are issued. I have a weather radio and it issues alerts only a few times a year for severe thunderstorms, and other things that happen in my part of the country.


Isn't that just adding insult to injury??

all it does is add insult to injury. you feel like a failure so you want to end your life and when you fail at that, you feel like more of a failure. just don't even attempt it, life eventually gets better!


I wish to send greeting to my apt mgr-who is filipino.


We live in the Pontivy area of France, and trying to buy a snooker table, can anyone suggest where we might find one, the Super Sport only have a pool table.\nMany Thanks

You probably need to ask somebody in France.


My best friend's whole family is french. All his parents' friends are french and they come down to the USA a lot from there home country: FRANCE! The first tiem I went to his house his fam's freinds were there and all they knew was French. I caught on a few words like Qua? (what) and Whee (yes). But the rest was like a blur cuz they were talking so fast. \n\nSo to get the the point, I'd like to know where I can learn friends without paying for a course or books or software or paying att all (like a free online learning center or sumthing like that). If anyone haw even the slightest knowlegde of a place type it down here please and I will be very greatful. The person with the most and best answers ges the best answer marked for them.\n\n~Me

I don't know of any free online programs. I do have a couple of ideas for you.\n\nCheck your local community college. They often have courses in "conversational" languages which are very practical and give you a basis to learn from. The courses, while not free, are usually very inexpensive.\n\nGo to your local public library and check out an audio or video French Language learning program. Almost all libraries have at least one of these programs and you can use them at your leisure.\n\nWhen you do one or both of these things, start to talk French with your best friend. Get him/her to help you out! Repetition and practice is what helps people learn a foreign language.\n\nHope this helps!!


In light of all the disasters & changes the world has been through this year will this change the way we will plot our chores for next year. Will there be any resolutions? will they be more spiritual are maybe unselfish. What do you think?

I'm interested in creating a set of graphics for a website I'm working on.  I always wondered how people create nice graphics.  Specifically, what software do they generally use?  Do they draw the icons directly on the computer or start with a hand drawing first?  It seems really difficult to try and use a mouse to draw, so are there other affordable input devices?

Artists usually create their logo artwork in an illustration program like Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia/Adobe Freehand, Corel Draw or a number of other vector based programs. (Illustrator is the most popular.) These programs have various tools that allow you to easily create all sorts of shapes. Mastering these programs to create logos similar to those you see everyday is very tough so dont expect great results immediately. By the way, sometimes artists do start their logos by drawing them on paper and then scanning them in. But after they scan them in, they basically trace the image using the tools in the illustration program. (You can't just scan it in and use it if you want it to look good.)\n\nOnce the final artwork is created in the illustration program, the artist takes into a bitmap imeage program like Photoshop or ImageReady to optimize it for the Web (make the file size smaller and acceptable for use over possibly slow bandwith). Logos and linedrawing artwork should be be optimized as a GIF image 99% of the time. Photos should be usually be saved as jpg images.\n\nFor more info on creating web graphics, I recommend books by Lynda Weinmann. She has a site called lynda.com that is all about web graphics. Visit adobe.com as well. They have tutorials about using their programs for designing and optimizing graphics.\n\nIn my opinion, you have to have a pretty good background in art to really be good at graphic design. Just knowing your way around programs like illustrator and photoshop is no different than not knowing English and using MS Word.\n\nAlso, it would be in your best interest to stick with the Adobe tools if you have the money. They are the industry standard every profressional worth their salt uses.


I need some really good supplement names to strengthen my muscles. I exercise regularly and I want a steady growth. I am not looking for bulky body, but just nice assertive cuts on my body.

Eliminate junk foods, eat a healthy diet. In addition to that: eat lots of whey protein~ a natural muscle builder (found in dairy products like cheese and yogurt), if you don't like dairy products, you can buy it concentrated at places like GNC.


i have this gum bleeding problem, this normally happens if i was silent for hours and just put a mild pressure on the gum using my tounge, the blood comes out when i spit. also when i get up in the morning, saliva get deposited in my mouth with blood, is there any way to avoid the saliva getting deposited in my mouth during sleep and as well the gum bleeding, i am visiting dentist for cleaing 6 month once but no use.\n\nAny suggesstion greatly appreciated\n\nMany thanks in advance.

have your dentist give you a prescription for a sensodyne sodium tooth paste. IT WORKS i swear! you have gingivitis. Floss everyday, to toughen your gums, but floss lightly and daily. After a few weeks or less  you will see a difference. Good luck you will be fine. I know I went through this myself and I am completely fine now.


would you get a building with a rental property (2 units total) for $150,000 and put 75k down?

When you invest it's always best to use the maximum amout of leverage to obtain the maximum return. Investment debt (as long as your tenants are paying for it) is good debt. \n\nExample: You buy a $100,000 home with $50,000 down and the property goes up in value by 10% in one year. Your ROI (return on investment) is 20%\n\nYou buy the same $100,000 home with $10,000 down and the property goes up in value by 10% in one year. Your ROI is 100%


-Without making it obvious that you're gay yourself?

There isn't really a clear cut way to know for sure. There have been women married for years only to devorce  him later because he was gay. And the wives never suspected it. He wasn't flamboyant, didn't talk funny, didn't do any obvious signs of being gay. So there really isn't any clear cut way of knowing.


I am trying to locate my son.  His cell phone is no longer in service, and I don't know if he is still at that address.  825 Dahlia St.  I called the phone number of the apartments (303-355-4711) but got no answer.

I just searched under Yellow Pages.com and this is all I found... They don't list a website, which is what I was looking for... I guess I'd just keep trying to call that number.\n? Hope this helps


I'd like to learn a few self defense moves -- I don't want to become a martial arts expert, just be able to get out of a hold or punch someone efficiently so I can get away. A website with visuals would be really appreciated, thanks!

Find a American Kenpo school and sign up you dont have to be an expert to defend your self Its a vary effective martial art.you will learn the true science of combat. Remember this.    To hear is to forget to see is to remember to do is to understand.

Is there any REAL, practical use for this? What is the point? How could a person ever know whether an answer is right? In essence, the answers are opinions, not answers, in the sense of truth or falsity. If that is correct, then what purpose does this web site serve?

Yahoo!'s purpose: to make money.  I mean honestly, they show us advertisements and we look at them and the advertisers pay Yahoo! money to do it.  Even though Yahoo!

I'm 15 years old...I wanting to go to work,Cuz I needing to help my parents and sister....What kind of job do you think is perfect for a 15 years old gurl like me...??Please help me....Thankx...!!!

Sure you can go try to get a job at an asian nail shop.. the question is whether you have experience doing manicures/pedicures. Plus, many of those are family-run businesses, so you'll need to make sure you can find one that isn't, and needs help.\n\nIf that plan falls through, my suggestion is to work as a sacker at a grocery store. You'd be surprised how much money you can make if you work in an affluent neighborhood. Tips + Full Salary = Rox.


alright so i like this girl thats in a couple of my classes but dono if she likes me back. n when i talk to her she makes eye contact and smiles but i think she does that w/ everyone. So whats another way to know if she likes me or not?

WEll Im a girl so maybe i know your answer. Whenever I like a guy i just act natural and smile whenever he looks at me so he won't notice. So i think she has a crush on you. here is the plan. I think the best way is to make your trusted friend look at her when you are not looking at her. Make him a spy and maybe he'll catch your crush looking at you and maybe blushing or smiling.That's your cue to make your move


magic squares is math a box of boxes with certain #'s in them that all add up diagonally horizontally and vertically in each row to make 65.

If yes, what were your expectations going in, and how did it work out?\n\nIf no, why not?

Yes.  The expectation would vary depending on where you were getting the massage.  If you are at a legitmate clinic with licensed therapists - in medical atmosphere, you wouldn't have the same expectations as you would if you are at Palm Tree Asian Spa - where the therapists are attractive Asian women dressed seductively (or slutty).  Try both and compare.  Just because you go into an Asian Spa, that does not mean you have to participate in some of the extra activity that goes on.  Just going in for the regular services can be very interesting..not to mention relaxing.


We all love those Disney characters, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and only 2 of those three are funny for reasons i can understand.  Goofy is an idiot, Donald is always angry and stupid, but Mickey Mouse isn't funny.  Why?

Because he's too goody goody and always trying to save the city, or the world, and just is not funny, period. The Duck family is the funniest.


i like her but she live far away i email but it seams like forever til she emails me back wat should i do

I have the same problem budd :-(  \nTell her you like her but say that if she dosen't feel the same way you feel about her then just say you'd still like to be her friend.


This is an innovative residential project.

If you are going to back it financially, any construction company will welcome you with open arms. It takes a large amount of time, money and work just getting the real estate and permits. If it is a fantastic idea and you are not going to finance it, as soon as you let the cat out of the bag, it is no longer your idea.


Having a healthy diet and exercising at least 5 times a week

because its hard work. After a stressful day at work, fighting traffic and putting  kids to bed..the last thing one wants to do is go workout less alone eat a salad.\n\nWe care abt our bodies and health..sometimes too much....the problem here is lack of motivation that most of the world suffers from not their desire to avoid healthy living.

i want to know what r the bacteria that cause the dental carries and how it causes it in details

Mutans streptococcus - the main bacterium causing dental caries.\n# 1. The oral bacteria responsible for dental caries belong to the streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli groups of bacteria.\n# 2. These bacteria, which cause dental caries, are able to metabolize sugar, produce a destructive lactic acid, and produce a sticky dental plaque. This destructive acid dissolves the mineral structure (hydroxyapatite crystals) of teeth. If the tooth mineral continues to be lost because of acid attack, the surface of the enamel will eventually be cavitated, producing a cavity.\n# 3. The bacteria which cause caries are usually "passed on" from mother to infant, as early a 10 months of age. The danger of infecting an infant's teeth is increased if the mother already has the caries disease herself.\n# 4. Children who frequently consume refined sugar products, such as candy and soft drinks, have a high risk of developing dental caries. Sucrose, a type of sugar, is therefore an important contributor to dental caries\n# 5. The newly erupted teeth of infants are the most susceptible to caries because they are not yet fully hardened (calcified). Calcium and phosphate in the saliva help fight dental caries by gradually "maturing" the tooth enamel.\n\nFor more info, refer the links.

#1.  Keep the baby.\n#2. Talk to your parents.\n#3. Stay in school.\n\nKeep in mind that if the father isn't around, that doesn't mean that the baby won't grow up properly.  If he doesn't stay, then just rely on your parents or other support groups to help you out.\n\nFocus on your baby, include your education, include your family life, and go from there :)\n\nI wish you would have waited till you were much older, but as you didn't, your responsibility is now to the baby :)

This usually happens in my brain area, so it never reaches my neck.  First time it ever happened was when I was a child... and happens about once every month now.

the same thing happens to me sometimes but it hurts in my right side and in to my right eye and i cant see out of that eye when that happens. I would see a doctor for it to i have not tolded anyone yet and i should do the same as you.

our tv weather prognoticator tells us about upper air conditions that change rain, sleet and snow.  what's going on ?

What causes rain to turn into sleet? when it's raining and there is a layer of very cold air in the atmosphere, usually 32 or below, it will turn into frozen precipitation, whether is Snow, sleet. when it snows, the whole atmosphere is at 32 or below, even though your temp at ground is let's say 35. what's matter is the atmosphere temperature. when it sleets, there's got to be a layer of cold air 32 or below, then another layer of 32 or hight ( that's when it turns back into rain) and then, another layer of cold air just above ground level or tree height, that's when you get the sleet.

Do you think Mrs. Clinton will do a good job running this country if she is elected as president next election? \nI do. \nWhat changes do you think she will make, to make our country better and stronger?

I think Mrs.Clinton will do a fine job running this country. Mr.Clinton left us with surpluses where we had deficits. So I believe she will run the country more conservitivly than the current admin. I personally am a little further to the right than either of the Clintons But firmly believe She will be a breath of fresh air in this Country. I know she has what it takes...............................


at least sound quality can't be no reason :)

he doesn't know that I really care about him. What can I do?

Well hey listen up let me help! Since you gave me some good advice this is what you should do let the guy talk to you and then like go to the common place to hang out right. ok then what you should do since you really like him is to pop a question about relationships or something. You know next if that bails you should move on to plan "b" like talk about something funny get him going then just say that you like him in a humorous way. Just to let him see you are thinking about something so that encourages him to want more!!!! Well probaly does not help at all but try it and see your results because this is  what happened to me and ive been going out with my Boyfriend for three months.


TV shows often don't show new episodes (or only show repeats) during the holiday period, because TV ratings are lower during this period.  Commander in Chief is an example.  It hasn't been cancelled, the next episode is due January 10th.


I'd say Mandarin Chinese. Not only do you have to learn words ... inflection is also key ... and there are four inflections you can put on any word/syllable. And some of the words are best pronounced in a sing-song sort of tone. \n\nJapanese is definitely easier because it is not so heavily dependent on inflection. \n\nFrench, Spanish and German are all a piece of cake compared to Mandarin Chinese.

Why are scientists having such a hard time understanding Tornados? Or maybe it should be what's holding us back from understanding them?

Actually, scientists understand a lot about tornadoes, but cannot completely predict them because they happen on such a micro-scale compared to other weather phenomenae.  Scientists can predict when conditions are favorable for tornadic activity (like when a tornado warning is issued), but can't predict excatly where one will occur until moments before hand.


If one team has a better record than another shouldn't they get a better spot in the playoffs?

I don't think that it's fair that the division leader automatically gets a top seed in the playoffs.  It can, and usually does leave out a team that would have normally made it to the playoffs if it were by record.  Plus, like what was mentioned on an ESPN article that I read about a month or so ago, it works out where the top two teams by record in the conference will never play each other anymore in the conference finals because of the way the divisions are set up now.  So I don't think they are a good idea.


We've been married 12 years.  She is bi-polar and has some major substance abuse issues.  There has been a lot of infidelity on her part.  I have been alternately supportive and out and out angry.  We have two children, boys 7 and 8.

I am divorced two years now and get along with my ex for the the sake of my child. We both have put aside our differences and work together to assure our child is given the best environment possible. We talk about any decision that will affect our child and work it out. We are both good people, just not compatible together......we do it for the love our child. You have to!


my children were playing on the computer and when i went to start up the computer it would not acknowledge and the ntldr is missing and needs to push control delete alt to restart and when i do that then it goes to enter your password then it goes to biosetup utility and then every the main menu comes up with the memory which the main frame. what is it that i need to do to =get my computer to reboot for me in the main frame or do i need to re install windows xp

I hope there wasn't anything on that drive you were attached to.  I don't know what your particular problem is but it is almost impossible to do that much damage to Windows XP without knowing what you are doing.  Either the kids did it by accident (unlikely) or depending on their age they knew exactly what they were doing.  Either way there are two things you can try, the first way might save your data.\n\nFind your XP restore disc put it in the CD drive and let it boot from the CD.  Once you have done that there will be a "repair this installation of Windows XP option", you can try that and it will attempt to replace or overwrite damaged or corrupt files.  If it works you will have your computer and your files back.  After you do that I would recommend that you back up your data and then again using your Windows XP disc, format the drive and reinstall Windows so you can start from a clean slate.\n\nIf it doesn't repair the installation then you will just have to reformat and reinstall Windows but you will loose all your data.  Make sure you have the driver discs that came with your PC as well, as you will need those so that all the hardware on it works properly once you have reinstalled XP.
