I'm 20 years old and a full time college student, living on my own.  I'm paying for everything with money from working and loans taken out in my name.  My parents do not conribute ANYTHING to my college/living expenses,  so why am I not considered "independent" by the government.  It seems like the only way to be independent (and, ultimately, receive more funding) is if I were married or if I had a kid.  Is there a way around this???

First, there is away around it, but it helps if you first understand why it has to be done this way so you know how to approach what is known as a "dependency appeal."  \n\nUpwards of 17 million FAFSAs are filed every year.  There are so many students in the world with so many family situations that it is imperative that there be a standard.  Moreover, there are so many people trying to abuse the system that this standard has to be stricter than ever.  I am constantly faced with students who claim, "I am independent! I swear! I can't get my parents' information!"... and then when I tell them "no" they somehow, magically, find a way to get that tax return to me.... Abuse.\n\nIn short, the rules are that you can't be considered independent unless ...\n\n* you are 24 or older\n* you are married\n* you have dependents other than a spouse\n* you are a veteran of the US armed forces\n* you are an orphan or ward of the court\n* you are pursuing an advanced degree\n* you have a prior bachelor's degree\n\nHowever, we all know that there really are cases in which a seemingly dependent student is really independent.  There are provisions made in the Federal Student Aid regulations that allow for a school (not the feds) to make exceptions to a student's status (though the change can only be from dependent to independent -- never the other way around).  Most schools will make exceptions in cases of abuse or the death of the students' parents.  Many schools will also make exceptions if you can document that you truly are completely self-suffient. You will need to submit proof that...  \n\n* your parents don't claim you on their tax return\n* you pay for your own housing, food, utilities, etc.\n* you pay for your own health insurance\n* you pay for your own transportation (and, if you have a car, the car insurance)\n* you don't receive any other in-kind support\n\nIf you think you can submit this information, give your school a call and ask them what their specific policy is.  They should have one in place and you have every right to know what it is.\n\nRemember: if you submit fraudulent information your school can deny you aid and you may be subject to other penalties.  And remember that covering your tracks doesn't simply stop at your tax return: your school's financial aid office can request just about anything if it believes that it has received conflicting information.\n\nSo, why is your school so picky?  Well, because the federal government is very protective of their money.  Financial Aid offices are subject to annual audits.  If their auditors pull your file and notice that undocumented exceptions have been made, their ability to give financial aid (to anyone) can be seriously jeopardized.

I am trying to find out from people whether anybody in real has gone to the moon or not. Share your opinions.

24 men have orbited the moon, 12 have walked on its surface\n\n3 men orbited:\nApollo 8\nApollo 10\nApollo 13\n\n3 men orbited, 2 of whom landed:\nApollo 11\nApollo 12\nApollo 14\nApollo 15\nApollo 16\nApollo 17\n\nThe above math shows 3*9=27 men, but 3 got to orbit twice (Jim Lovell, Gene Cernan, and John Young)


because I am a science freak (not a nerd or a geek) I love being able to manipulate things, thats why I don't like being manipulated in christianity, but, to business, stem cells, are like having every cheat code, for every game made and to be made in the future,  that's why I love it!  genetic engineering is my backup plan if being a pulminary specialist doesn't work out, I feel this is being blocked out by all religions except 3rd world countries, and yes, "nanananana thats not how god made it blablablablablabla"! Yeah, well I'm pretty sure that god doesn't like the fact that we elected a hitler youth to pope.  oooh, I said it.  so what.  I want to be able to use this stem cells, this, can change lives, and I've also thought about this (I am also an alien freak) if Roswell was true, and there so happens to be a few, lets say, scattered hairs or skin cells down in area 51 or Roswell, we, can clone that alien.. No, the alien cannot do anything, its not gonna b independence daycommentme

OK so first switch to decaf. \n\nStem cells are undifferentiated cells that retain the ability to divide and differentiate into other cell types. You don't have to kill babies with little souls going off to heaven to get them either. I'll give you a link for real info, but as far as your area 51 stuff goes sorry that's not going to happen. If you had alien skin cells and dumped a bunch of stem cells on them all you would get is a lot of alien skin cells. Cloning and stem cells are two completely different things.


I was recently discharged from the Navy in April of 05,(general discharge) I am wondering if I should continue to live out my life as a cicilian, or join the Army if they agree to it. I know, only I can make that decision, but I am wondering what everyone else thinks. I would like to go Army infantry.

Don't know anything about the Navy... But I've done 15 years in the Army now... And when I have a soldier that is getting out I make him write down all the reasons he's getting out... then I tell them to put it in their wallet and before they go back into a recruiters office... pull it out and read it... If they still come back... good for them... if not then good for them...  \n\nAny way... \n\nI say if it's so hard a decision for you... then don't make it... stay where you are... You've done your bit for God and Country... nothin wrong with being a civilian... just make sure you get something out of it... USE YOUR GI BILL!! get some edu-macation!!! Get that job that you swore you could get that paid you a lot more than you made 'swabbin the decks' in the Navy!!! \n\nBottom Line: \n\nGOOD LUCK, GOD BLESS, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE \n\nNEXT!!!!


I ws under the understanding that Islam was about peace so if anyone affiliated with islam has an answer i would be glad to hear it

The first thing people in the west need to understand about Islam and the Islamic world is that Islam is a symbol used for exploitation by most of the people calling themselves as Muslims and not taken in the true letter-n-spirit.  The very word Islam means (according to Dictionary)"1. Peace, 2. Submission (To Allah/God). The second meaning is exactly what is the first meaning is if one reads the Quran (The Word of Allah/God) they will understand why some people use the first meaning and the second meaning. Although both the meanings are synonymous for people who are born in a "Muslim" community it becomes a misleading meaning for others who have never read or gone through the Quran. Having said this as far as the question for Muslim leadership is concern the people who claims to be Muslims most of them are themselves not aware of their religion "Islam" as they are divided into a number of sects, similar to those that exist in Christianity. However, since the people who claims to be Christians have learned to co-exist with other sects of their faith (after centuries of inter-faith conflicts and conflicts between the Church and the society) by disassociating their religion from their day to day affairs they are more at peace in other words living more in "Islam" then their counter parts the so-called "Muslims". It is, therefore, that there is no central leadership that exists in the "Muslim" world at present.  In their own countries even their divided leadership does at times issue statements against terrorism (as understood by the other half of the world), however, their statements never found space in your part of the world. This is because of a number of factors the first and the top most is that the very definition of the word ‘Terrorism’ holds different meanings for different people. For example when Hitler committed crimes against humanity to date despite the hatred against Hitler his work was never labeled as terrorism. When the combined allied forces devastated the German cities and cut them into two halves, raping and maiming millions of civilians the act was never seen as terrorism but was considered a response against Hitler's forces atrocities. When the US forces attacked Korean peninsula and killed many civilians in the name of fight against communism the war was neither termed as terrorism nor a fight against terrorism. When the Jews, supported by their European and US allies, carried out attacks and killings of innocent Palestinian people to drive them out of their homeland their campaign was never termed as terrorism. To date I am sure you do get to see a photograph or two of the Israeli atrocities committed both in "Israel" and Lebanon and in the rest of the world like attack on Iraqi Osirock nuclear plant and killing of Palestinian people all around the world are not termed as terrorism but an act of self defense and seen as their right for existence. When Iraq threatened Kuwait it was termed as terrorism when Israel threatened Iran it is termed as right to defend. When defenseless Palestinian children are killed in the arms of their fathers and mothers, as was shown live on TV, despite the fact that no sane person in the West ever acknowledged it as correct, no one even termed as terrorism either. When Indian forces occupies Kashmir and carries out genocide of defenseless Kashmiris it is termed as internal matter. When Kashmiris tries to retaliate it is called terrorism. When during WW-II the French Freedom Movement and the Italian Freedom fighters did the same against occupying Nazi forces it was never termed as terrorism. When Muslims are slaughtered in India during riots it is termed as isolated events of rioting among society and not as terrorism. Isn’t it strange how we use one word of dictionary to term a whole society a whole group of people as bigots, terrorists, un-educated and barbaric lot, whereas, on the other hand all the


my husband that i'm separated from is saying that he can get into my e-mail account. Is this true? And how can I clear where I've been on this computer when he comes to pick up the kids and checks it? Can he somehow have anythimg e-mailed to me forwarded to his computer?

Use a strong password ( mix of upper case, lower case and numeric characters), and change your password often.  \n\nAlso, create an account he wouldn't know about, perhaps yahoo mail, forward e-mail you want to keep to it, and then delete it from your original account.\n\nFinally, you can make your e-mail unreadable to anyone other than the intended receipiant by using an encryption utility such as GNU Privacy Guard.\n\nwww.gnupg.org\n\nGood luck!

they were found with an ultrasound and catscan has been arranged for my friend....who is concerned and asked me to find out about these nodules

It could be many things, some very serious and some not serious at all. Unfortunately, one very worrisome possibility is cancer. It is *very* important for your friend to get the CT scan and follow up with his or her physician as necessary. Hopefully the nodule will turn out to be a benign cyst or other inconsequential finding. \n\nYour friend should not hesitate to talk with his or her physician if there are any questions. Only a real, live doctor can give appropriate medical advice. Sometimes it's helpful to write down some questions on paper before you call your doctor. The internet is a great place to read about various diseases and treatments, but at this stage your friend really should be speaking with a physician.


I feel they are good as it shortens the distance of communication

Mobile what? Phones I assume? Yes, they are WONDERFUL. I'm always in touch. Sometimes, I call my husband when he's in another part of our house. LOL. Sad but true...


I don't want my friends to think I visited some of the sites listed, when I type the letter p or s...etc....

Go to "Tools" on top, select "Internet Options", Click on "content" on top tabs, then click on the "auto complete", then  "clear forms" and "clear passwords."


I saw it when it first came out on video...I liked it.


well do you rember the eposide rainbow in botttle where willam create a rainbow inbottle i need that foumla

Oh yeah! That would be so cool. But I don't know if there is actually a real formula for it. I love that's so raven. What about you?


With contact metamorphism in high grade zones the minerals for that zone is formed but the minerals can lose there stability and revert back to low grade minerals when it loses its temp and pressure if this is true why can high grade minerals be found on the surface of the earth and not change back to low grade minerals?

Fluids such as water, carbon dioxide, & oxygen (volatiles) are required for retrograde metamorphism to take place.\n\nDuring prograde metamorphism, the water contained within the rock is released during the metamorphic processes of heat & temperature.\n\nBy the time they finally work out & reach the surface (if they even do), they’re usually lacking in any of these volatiles and are said to be “dry” due to the fact that they were driven out at such high temps & pressures.\n\nRetrograde metamorphism requires water & other fluids. That is why is stays that way & doesn't revert back. It needs the fluid factor to revert back to a lower grade.\n\nThe outer surfaces of the rock may weather but it takes a very long time for the entire thing to revert back to the most stable form.\n\n:)


He's a Libra and I'm Sagitarius. So far everything I've read is postive as far as our relationship goes but anyone have actualy real LIFE experience?

You two will get on perfectly...as long as you remember to take time out for him and him alone , once in a while.  Sagitarius are so full of life and fun, Libra cannot resist them.  Libra love their vitality and vigour for life but sometimes Libra tries to balance this against 'real life.'  What they need then is some quiet down time with their soulmate to bring their balance back.


Me and My husband began trying to conceive In November of 2005, and I havent come up pregnant so far. Ive been having regular menstural cycles, maybe I missed a couple months but they are pretty regular.

check with your dr regarding this issue, but you really need to take folic acid to prevent spinal defects at least one month before conceiving. try taking regular robitussin, it helps increase cervical fluid within the vagina which helps the sperm survive longer.


there is a problem in the way people all arould the world are using religon to affect thoughts of others and infact use them for their own political good. \nIslam i'm sure teaches war and killings of innocent is wrong then how can some people ues holy words like JEHAD for killing innocent men women and children.

Crappy conditions create mindless zealots, mindless zealots hate people in conditions that aren't crappy, mindless zealots declare Jihad. One would hope that if all these guys blew themselves up there wouldn't be anymore in the next generation. But that's unfortunatly not the case.


I just got in a huge fight with my boyfriend because I told him some details about a relationship that I had when we were on a break several months ago. He doesn't understand the spot that I was in and that I didn't tell him to keep him from getting hurt. But now he thinks that he can't believe anything that I say and I don't know how to prove to him that he can trust me...I just made some mistakes. Help!

Trust is in believing yourself. IF you feel confident with the person, you shouldn't have to worry about him cheating on you. Trust builds upon communication. As long as you talk everyday, tell each other what's going on in each other's life, then trust will continue to grow. you don't have to always be together to actually trust someone. Being together every single day gets boring. When you are apart from your loved ones, you miss them more and you want to see them more. Creates more sparks and excitement in the relationship. :)


Has anyone ever ran for president? I want to be the first woman president but i dont know anything about politics

Everybody gets there a different way.  The only actual restrictions that I can think of off-hand is that you must be at least 35 years old and you must have been born in the United States.\n\nAlthough all of our past Presidents have been white males, they have had many different backgrounds, but perhaps the most popular aside from being born into wealth is probably being a lawyer or a general in the military.


*****SPOILERS******\n\nMy question is, they don't explain why birds attack? What do you think could be the possible explanation?

i beleive it was a plague sent from above.


this has something to do surveys and research.

I have almost no basis for answering this, but as a guess, I would say its when you go to the mall, stop people that walk by and ask "Would you like to take part in our survey?"\nJust a guess


I have a racing road bike.  And wondering if clincers could be applied to any road bike wheel.  Any good websites to explain this?

yes, do you have clincher rims?\nI ride 25x700 tires on Mavic Open Pro rims on both bikes, the Open pro models are clinchers, \n\nracer used sew ups\nthe rim / sew up is lighter\nbut not very pratical if you are a casual rider\nas when you flat out\nyour betteroff carrying a spare sew ups\nand glue\nreparing sew ups is time consuming\nas it changing the sew ups and regluing the spares to the rim ( and a bit messy the first time you ever glue one on ),\nclinchers are easy ( I do not even use tire irons to pull them off much less to put them back on )\n\n\nsew up tires and rims ( they call the rim tubulars ) are lighter, than the clincher set ups, hence why the racers use them, but you can race on clinchers and the open pros are one of the more favored rims for that.

Hello, I need  somebody to be my best true real friend, someone I can trust, talk to, share, everything......

Well, do you go to school?? You need to work out a relationship with someone close to you in order for them to be your best friend. I have a best friend. I've known him for yrs now.  I can tell him anything.  Usually, you don't label someone you just met as your best friend.

Mine has been Katharine since Auditions...I like Melissa too but she left early on.

Katherine, she has a wonderful voice and she doesn't try to look better in front of others!  I'm kinda like her!\nI also like Elliot, not as much as Katherine though, he has a great voice and I think it's been tough for him with all of his medical problems (diabetes, 90% deafness in one ear!)  and his mother hasn't been feeling well during his stay on Idol.  That's tough to handle.


Which simple shape is the most aerodynamic at hypersonic speeds? A cone? A ball? A teardrop?

That is rather complex.  By most aerodynamic I assume you mean the least drag due to friction with the air.\n\nI think the order of aerodynamicness, if that is a word, goes as follows.\n\nsingularity\n2D line travelling in the direction of the line.\n3D planer object traveling in the plane\nthen you start to get friction\nbullet/missile etc is optimized for straight travel with minimum drag\nWedge shaped aircraft are required so they have the ability to turn and stabilize, but lose some of the aerodynamic character\nThen you get into commercial planes....\nElephants are at the bottom of the list I believe.\n\nYou could also put frisbees and shuriken up in there somewhere, but that is the general idea.  Hope this helps.


In english yesterday, we were talking about how ppl come up and point a gun to your head and ask you if you are a Christian, and if you said yes they would shoot you. well our teacher asked us, and we all said that we would say yes, and he didnt. he said no that he isnt goimg to give his life for anyone. i told him that Jesus died for you, so wouldent u die for him? and he said no. What do i do????

let him beleave what he wants he will be the one to go to HELL not you... but if you want to do something maybe see if he wants to go  to church with you if you go if god is with him he will begain to believe in Jesus i have a friend that dosent belave in Jesus and i have tried everything but nothing so don't be surprised if there is no reaction Jesus can only help those who want to be helped..............


how can i make him not want any one else since where not going to be around each other for 2 years  why hes away that he will always stay faithful to me

That's impossible. The best you can hope for is you do not find out about his picking up some action.  Don't forget men like their play time and if his juices get to flowing to some female he'll be going.  Realize that it is natural but if you really have a strong tie to each other He will keep the encounters limited to getting relief.  You may also get horny while he is away and even if you satisfy yourself that can be considered cheating so do not ask more than you can tolerate.  Grow up and hopefully the two of you will stay together even with a little side action while apart.  Safe sex does not cause problems it is the committed stuff that messes things up.


im in first year of university i wanna know how i must be to be a best student organizing time or about learning programs

to be good in compter engineering is best practice to get lots of hands on experience, install and play around with any O/S, applications, computer language as you go, not just reading books.


how do you train it    how do u strengthen your leg    to kick the ball harder and to have a harder shot

I use the leg extension and leg curl to strengthen your kick.  Practice lifting with separate legs on the leg extension.


When do scientist predict it to happen and what states or areas will the ash affect. Will it effect northern Louisiana.What else will happen?

no scientist has set a date for the "big burp", they suspect that it can happen any day as do i. i live in a volcano crater,....here in oregon along I-5, it ismstly volcano. there are old vents almost everywhere and the west side of the state is mostly basalt which is the main rock produced by volcanoes. i have been through 3 earthquakes in a year, all of them below a level 4.0...they dont even shake the place much.....the big crater in yellowstone is huge,.....but too,..it blew up long ago and has been pushed inland and is deformed as a result. the smaller craterat yellowstone is almost inside the older one and this suggests a smaller event later on in the history of the region....suggesting a cooling down period. even old faithful "the gyser" has slowed down it's performance in recent years so i imagine that volcanic activity is slowing down to this date. but then we havent drilled down into the mantle far enough to know about the earth we live on....myseries abound.  if we did have a volcanic eruption like the big one in yellowstone,...it would descimate the untied states in about 30 days time,...between the blast and the 30 days, life would come to a stand still immediately.....the rest of the world would also be effected later on,....canada would get a huge blast of debris and life there would be "at least"....."unpleasant" and the northern most parts of russia would get a bit pissed off about it......greenland?....it's volcanic anyway, it would feel brundt of the blast pretty quick, then europe and the middle east,(lucky arabs).....th southern half of the world would be ok for awhile unloess the jet stream picked up alot of the dust from the blast which would "if it happened" black out the equator. in about 3 months time, the entire world would see the effects of the weather and it would begin to darken the skies with dust, blocking out light and reflecting heat back into space.....but it gets better.......or worse depending on if you are a terrorist or not.....the possibility of a de-magnetism event might knock the earth off it's axisand tilt the planet in another direction which could in itself be a "killer event"...pardon the pun.......it would eventually dye down and smaller volcanoes would open up due to the earth being busted up in the immediate region. these would last a long time similar to the hawaiian voilcanoes. they wouldnt have much effect but alot of landowners would go belly up during this time period. (poor rich people)...louisianna?.....since you were asking about it,...katrina?.....similar in the end....as would be all states and mexico. (poor mexicans).....everybody would move east to the coast if they could, disease would abound and we'd all get sick and die or starve to death trying to stay alive.......but it aint gonna happen and here's why,....our goverment cant afford it to happen......if they could, they'd already have tried. the population of america already streeses the goverment to it's limits and they could afford to lose some of us.....i'm sure they pray it will happen. therefore it wont happen.....but what if it happend in china or japan?.......same thing a littlefarther away in place and time.

The international community ignored Hitler,and faced the horrible consequences. Don't you think enough is enough dealing with Iran like this just for economic purposes, and ignoring the future and the peace in the world ?

Are you serious?Iran is the world's fourth largest oil-exporter.If the international community does anything to Iran the latter will stop exporting oil and then what do you think will happen to the world economy?It'll burst like a party balloon.And that's worse for the world isn't it?This whole is issue is politically motivated and once oil-prices start feeling the heat it'll all be sorted out amicably.Its all about the money my friend-noone gives a fu-k about whether or not our Yiddish friends are feeling secure down there.In any case Iran won't have the balls to stir up some nuclear bullsh*t with the Israelis-if they do Mossad will have Teheran levelled before you can say "Zionist Crusader"!

i really need anybody's help. i'm am unlucky kid and i don't get enough hope(even from god although he does help me but not enough(sorry)). so i need your help. my question is how do you get all your grades to be As and Bs?

First of all you have to take notes in class so that you can take those notes and explain to a friend or family member what the teacher taught that day.  This will force you to listen AND understand.  If the teacher is talking about World War I, make sure you answer the reporter questions - Who, what, why, where, when and how?  You may want to write this on your note page to start.  Then you take the notes and read them over until it makes sense.  Then, at the dinner table, explain to someone what you learned.  If they have a baffled look, you aren't explaining it well and you need to look over your notes to see what you may have missed.  \n\nWhen test time comes around, you need to read your notes...OUTLOUD!  Read them through about 20 times...and not the same way, make a game out of it...change your voice, make it higher or lower, read it like you think a reporter would read it...keep it interesting.  This is to help you remember the facts.\n\nGlad you want to get better grades!  That will show people you are a hard worker and, even if you don't get the best grades, if you work hard, people will notice and you will get respected for it.  \n\nHope that helps!


just in case it isn't clear...the function is tangent squared 5x over 10 x squared...

taylor expansion of tan^2(5X) and ignore any term with x's power great than x^2. this should give you 25x^2. and divide that by 10x^2 gives you 2.5. and sing your happy song with a happy face.


can you explain and support Ur answer more with details\nwhich aspect does each school you mentioned good at?

University of Maine at Orono has a very large biology program including biology, zoology, botany, molecular biology, and biochemistry.  Excellent research institute while maintaining a low student to teacher ratio (21:1) which is excellent for a school with 10,000+ students.  So you get personal attention while having lots of oppurtunites.

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nHere is a complete list of available grants for the disabled\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\n\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

There are only a few Nforce4 motherboards with integrated video, a Biostar 6100T being one that comes to mind. If it is a PC Chips brand they have a very high failure rate and is just a bad board. Do you have a video card? Do you hear any beeping when the computer comes on? Is the cable from the computer to the monitor securely screwed in? If you only had the motherboard a month, it will still be under warranty and you can contact the manufacturer or perhaps the seller for replacement.


Both Dante's Inferno and Wu Cheng-en's Monkey (Journey to the West) are about religious pilgrimages, and both emphasize the journey as a necessary component of spiritual enlightenment. Explain how this works in both readings. ---- I know all about Dante's Inferno... I just need help with Monkey!

Never read "Monkey" but give me a moment to skim the summary ...\n\nOkay, see the link below for a summary and some insights into the book.  It seems to me that the story itself is an allegory for the path to spiritual enlightenment.  While Dante is mostly a passive tourist on his trip through Hell, the characters in Monkey must overcome various metaphorical obstacles in order to gain the sutras and achieve buddha-hood.\n\nThus the nature of the story itself parallels the trials a buddhist must go through to achieve nirvana.


They start exercising the "American right" to stay and protest, and then all of the unions like the ACLU and American Way alongwith schools/universities degrade America by supporting those bastards. Send em home and let the tumbleweeds blow back to Mexico where they came from. This shouldn't be a problem, people. They are not welcome, they do not belong, and so they should leave. Of course, that won't happen.

They have a right to leave and come here legally.  Illegals appear to have more rights and privileges than American citizens.


The function in my hand is improving slowly, but the Neurologist nor the Orthopedic surgeon can say for sure when and if I will regain function.  My fingers are numb, but they hurt like hell (seems like an impossibility).  I am on a seizure control medication that definitely helps the searing pain.  My forefinger has curled up and they are considering tendon reconstruction/extension.  yes, I've done PT (to the extent of my insurance coverage)and am able to grip things.  I'm just really looking to hear from people who have experienced similar "issues" and how long (if ever) it took to recover use and feeling.  Thanks for "sharing".

Nerve damage! if your nerves got severed and were reattached, you need to keep doing the Physical therapy you did at the sessions. It has to be a constant thing.If it is painful, remember that whilst the nerves are still healing , it will hurt. If this was a recent accident please DO NOT rest your hand for extensive periods of time thinking that your hand will heal and be better, it is the complete opposite and your hand will become immobile for sure from not moving.Compare it to an ungreased bycicle chain, you hear it creaking,squeaking because it wasn't greased and it doesn't want to go anywhere.That is why you want to keep your fingers and hand moving as much as you can. Get a remote and do finger pressing excersising, from the top button all the way down. Do this every half hour while you are awake. Are you wearing a hand brace? Something that keeps your hand tight, it's an elastic thing.Try not to wear it too much.\nOpen and close your fist as much as you can, same as the finger excersices. If you have no open wounds on your hands, try using a few drops of pepermint oil with a base of avocado oil (Bath and body works) and rub it on your hands, it should really help with your numbness as the pepermint oil gets your nerves reacting, and it penetrates.\nIf you can't move the fingers willingly, move each finger up and down and flex them with the help of your other hand and fingers. Don't let the hand get lazy.Keep it moving.Nerves will regenerate and they will pick up where they left off if you keep them busy and functioning. Keep the idea of the ungreased bycicle chain in your head and move your hand and use it so it doesn't stop working.Don't become unmotivated or lazy. Do things as normal. Even if your hand is in pain, do things, it's because your nerves are trying to repair themselves that they hurt and it feels like shooting pain.So the more you move, the better it will be. I cannot say that enough.

More and more people decided to live together rather than giving commitment to a marriage. Will it really be a dramatic change in your life, now you are not alone? Please share your views.

it depends upon personality. why people like to generalize so much? there re people who love to live as a couple. if they get out of being a couple they immediately find another to clinge to. but there re people who just can not stay as a couple. for those yes, marriage is a grave. they just need to have this excitement of falling in love over and over.\nand of course a lot depends upon a woman with who u marry. if she is nice and boring and predictable then yes, marriage is a grave. every day is the same. if she is dangerous and unpredictable and u live as on a volcano and don't know what happens next then no, marriage is not a grave, u have exciting life u have no time to get bored. \no, boy, i guess i just figured out the formula for happiness in marriage.lol


many people suffering to live in this world. b-cos financial, psycological, problem. if a human face difficult to live, there is no point he/she live, y islam forbid to commit suicide?

God is our creator, he is the giver of life, and he alone has the right to end it. Suicide is forbidden in Islam; this sin is listed among the "enormities" in Reliance of the Traveller, a manual of Sharia in the tradition of Imam Shafi'i. \n\nThose who committed suicide ... \n\n\nto be roasted in a fire, \n\nDo not kill yourselves, for Allah is compassionate towards you. Whoever does so, in transgression and wrongfully, We shall roast in a fire, and that is an easy matter for Allah. (an-Nisaa 4:29-30) \n\nforbidden Paradise, \n\nNarrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak:\nThe Prophet said, "Whoever intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he has said, (e.g. if he says, 'If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,' he is really a Jew). And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same piece of iron in the Hell Fire." Narrated Jundab the Prophet said, "A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him." (Sahih Bukhari 2.445) \n\nwill be punished in hell by whatever used for suicide, \nNarrated Abu Huraira:\nThe Prophet said, "He who commits suicide by throttling shall keep on throttling himself in the Hell Fire (forever) and he who commits suicide by stabbing himself shall keep on stabbing himself in the Hell-Fire." (Sahih Bukhari 2.446, 2.445)


You would probably stay in a rehab for 20 days or longer depending on if you have medicare or insurance or both.Longer than 20 days is usually not necessary but the facility will keep you until your insurance is exhausted.I would say you would be able to return back to work in 2-3 months but only your orthopedic surgeon will be able to release.If you have a positive attitude and work hard with therapy you will go back quicker Good Luck

I found my boyfriend using singles sites and looking for girls online.  I know no one responded to him, but I feel it is still as bad as cheating... is it?

Yes, it is cheating.  Why does he need to look for other girls when he has you?  What would he do if a girl did respond?  You should get a friend who he doesn't know to respond to him and see what happens.


My boyfriend has a very strange fetish,he is obsessed with wee,he constantly asks me to wee on him before sex and gets quite upset if I don't.\nHe loves it and it really turns him on but I'm sick of it because it is abit of a turn off for me.Is my bf really weird or this a normal fetish?

If you were suddenly back in your adolescence, what social group would you be part of?                                  I might be Emo, but I'd probably just be the same hippie as I was in the '70s.

Far out question, Man...\nI am a hippie in disguise now. If I was to go back then I would be a hippie.... yeah man. I can dig it.


What do you feel strongly about, thats what the best persuasive speechs are about, if you care abotu somethign it won't be hard for you to try to persuade sombody for 5-8 minutes, do a little research to have some facts behind what you say, and you should be fine.\n\nYou may even try to check out some hot political topics - immigration is huge right now, the iraq war, and persuade for what you feel.  Death penalty has been done a million times, but thats always an idea


One of my friends got raped as a child,cutts himself, and drugs himself everyday. Ive tried so many times to help him out with it but he always turns me down. How can i make him understand that i care without offending him (he doesnt know that i know he got raped)

You CAN'T force help on someone who doesn't want it. That's enabling behavior which is also wrong.\nBut, you can share YOUR heart; your pain; your sorrow with him. Typically when someone wants to get another to open up, they have to make themselves vulnerable by disclosing something of significance to earn that other person's trust.\nTry it. You may get the window of oppurtunity you're looking for.


its like 3.00 here. what can i do to protest the big oil companies gas prices? isnt there a price ceiling it can go to or something cause this is bs.

I just love it that no matter what kind of question you ask there's always some assclown who will write something negative about Bush. Yes, it's all Bush's fault that gas prices are so high. You idiots always try to have it both ways: first he invaded Iraq just to steal the oil but then when oil prices go through the roof (because Bush didn't steal any oil afterall) it's his fault anyway.


Ask. Find a company that has some sort of connection to the sport or team. Think sponsorship as advertisment, you have to offer something to the compaany and it needs to show some sort of results. Lets say a company has the option of sponsoring your team or running a local radio commercial, you need to make your option a better option, have better results, etc...\n I have raced RC cars for a LOT of years and have been sponsored by several companies. When I get spnosored I try to think of myself as an employee of said company and my goal is to do whatever it takes to make the company money.\n One thing that DOES work is to start out small, look for local companies and ask if they will sponsoer you for a small discount on services or goods. Heck ask if you can use them as a sponsor even if they DON'T offer you anything. The more sponsors you can put down on a "resume" the better it will look to futre sponsors.\n I think the most important thing to do though is ASK, the worst they can say is no, and you never know who might say yes?

could anyone tell me a website with definitions of Kantorovich graph and Kantorovich tree ? thanks

The closest I could find for Kantorovich graph was the first two pages of the paper here:\n\nhttp://citeseer.ifi.unizh.ch/berz96hierarchical.html\n\n(In the upper right there are links to view it as compress Postscript, Postscript, PDF, or scanned image.)\n\nIt references four other pages for the term "Kantorovich graph" perhaps you can find one or more of them online at citeseer or elsewhere.


I've been doing some more research on "vampires" and that sort of thing and I'm being lead in the direction of Lillith, adams first wife....now, I don't fall into the hype that she was evil or any of that, frankly I'm not falling for anything at this point...I want to get a better oidea of who she was, or who people thought she was.....

Lilith (or LiLiTu) was Adam's first wife, who was banned from the garden for taking the dominant position during sex.  She either returned as a snake or gave birth to the snake that "tempted" Eve.\n\nUp until the late 19th century she was believed to be the cause of infant's deaths, and was a succubus, taking advantage of men in their sleep and causing them to have nocturnal emissions.\n\nSome believe her to be a goddess discarded by Judeo-Christian mythology, made into an evil entity to demonize a conquered nation's religion.\n\nShe is connected to owls (she is often depicted with owl's wings and feet) and snakes.


When you're going to ask a question, do you think of the consequences of doing so, or you don't care about it?

Exactly what mrscm said. When you see people answer with "I Dunno" or "No clue but thanks for the 2 points" then more than likely they are in it for points...points that don't really give you anything but bragging rights. If the points were gone, this site would probably shrink to half the size that it is user wise. I on the other hand, not only enjpy answering questions, but also love reading other peoples points of views on various different topics. Yes, I always hope that in some way my answer will be helpful or at least interesting.\n\nAlso, I wonder how many people actually go back to the questions they have answered to see if there was any follow up responses from the asker as to what they said. I've seen so many askers follow up with comments/questions about the answer someone gave, yet noone goes back to see unless they are chosen as a best answer. Then they will go just to see which answer was chose as theirs.

he says he just thinks of me as a friend but has given me mixed signals but now doesn't even act like a friend or makes an effort...what should I do? Is it worth it to pursue it anymore? He doesn't keep in touch, says he wants to get together but doesn't do anything about it. He didn't return my call from a week ago. He really is a nice person and honestly probably doesn't really know what he is doing but is it worth it to hang in there or would anyone out there want to hang in there like I have????


My wife and I have been married for 6 months.  Our sex life has gradually diminished to once every 10 days, she has gained 30lbs. from a year ago.  She isn't happy about her weight gain, but hasn't done anything.  She isn't pregnant, and is a 12 credit per semester college student.  \n\nShe has complained about stress, so I have been splitting up the cooking duties, and have always been active in the house work.  I get upset when she says stress because I work about 45 hours a week, with a 1 hour commute each way, and am studying for a professional certification, and yet things keep adding up.  Above all, I am starting to get some resentment for our situation, and need some help.  I don't want to resent this situation or my wife.  Therapy is the easy answer, but that is more financial strain, and we've been there before our marriage, and it just feels like I'm the one changing.  \n\nAlright, enough ranting, what is the best way to deal with our lack of sex life and the weight issues?

She may be depressed, so consider that possibility when you approach her about your concerns.  Realize that she may have resentment about the situation, too, since you're so busy with your current professional burdens.  It doesn't fit the dreams of newlywed bliss she may have had, which actually happens for many women in today's society.  Make it clear beyond a doubt that your love is truly unconditional.  It sounds as if you two chose a difficult time in your lives to get married; but there are no "do-overs" in life, so what to do now?\n\nRemind her that the certification process will be over at some point by talking about the positive effect it will have on your life (e.g. higher income, new job [maybe closer to home]).  Help keep her aware that you are doing what you do for your future TOGETHER.  Also, talk about things you'll be able to do with the time you'll have when you've completed the certification.  Try to use "us" and "we" more than "I" and "me" in your statements.  \n\nIf she's not happy about her weight gain, she probably isn't feeling very "sexy" and may be too self-conscious about it.  If you don't mind it, maybe say that you like her "curves" that it makes her more womanly.  Be flirtatious -- foreplay happens all day for women, because it's about feeling confident and desirable, as well as safe and comfortable.  So make sure she knows you still want her.\n\nWith the little free time you have, try doing physical activities like hiking or riding bikes.  Of course that will depend on what you both like to do and where you live, but you get the idea.  Since you are both cooking together, maybe suggest healthier meal selections.  Maybe there's a place on your way home from work where you could run in and grab some fresh veggies.  If she's a full-time student, she should have access to the gym facilities on campus - encourage her to spend some of her alone time there.  Or maybe she could get a part-time job or do some volunteer work to help improve her sense of self-confidence.  \n\nMarriage really is a commitment, and yours is already being tested.  Hang in there, and keep your priorities straight.


Bull ****. Here's the thing, at one time in this country, which is a nation that promises equality to all, narrow-minded bigots were welcome but they were certainly not embraced. Now in today's society bigots are definitely embraced and some are in a way looked up to. As you all know the president Bush was elected and people were saying it is good thing for our youth to be able to look up to someone. Thats crap, no one is born a bigot, so we should be telling our kids that it is wrong and that you do have a choice, it's not like having diabetes or something. I just think that it's wrong, like letting  bigots adopt... are you kidding me?  How screwed up of a life will that kid have? He'd be better off in an orphanage. Remember back in the Roman Empire days when the Christians were fed to lions, and how everyone thought it was all right? Now if you die trying to force your religious beliefs on someone you're a fricken martyr or something. What do you guys think?

it is not true love b/c if it was true love then he would have stand up for you or he would have ignored the rumors instead of listening to it.


Compare presidential and parliamentary systems. \n\nWhy aren't all democracies parliamentary systems?

That is because every country is different and have different policies and ways of seeing things.  The countries that have a Parliment aare/were those that were or are part of the British government. An example of one of these countries is India the biggest democracy in the world, it was a British colony once. The parliment was initianted in England(Britain).

It may not happen for another twenty years, then again it might. But, if we (the human race) cannot use fossil fuels as a form of energy/ natural resource, how will our lives change? Are their enough alternatives? Are we looking at an inevitable global depression?

I've spent an entire semester in university listening to and researching over this issue ... and yes the "peak" has passed ... if you look at the bell curve, we're heading towards (or already are) on the decline side of the curve ... and soon it's going to be all over.  \n\nbasically we need to look into alternative source... and that's where this thing gets tricky.  oil is, for the most part, needed for transportation... and cars and transport means that do not require fossil fuels are either not fast enough or they're too expensive.  so what to do now?\n\nwell.... the answer lies in changing the minds of the human race... we live in an economy-driven world... they worry about making money, dont care where it comes from... \n\nbut the good news is that there's an abundant amount of awareness about all the environmental issues out there... i'm in my 20s and i don't remember this type of awareness happening 5 - 10 years ago... so we're headed in the right direction... question is are we alreadfy too late?  the answer is: only time will tell!\n\nand i can go on and on, but due to lack of time i have to end here ... if i have more time before u close this q i might add more in! \n\noh, but before i go... here's a recommendation (a documentary):\nEnd of suburbia dicrected by gregory greene\n\nit talks about the peak-oil crises!\n\ncheers!


I have asked this question or 1 like it before but things have changed. For months now I have been working with this woman that randomly "freaks out". One min. she is fine and the next min. isnt speaking to me and calling me names and trying to get revenge for something she thinks i have done to her, she throws things at me from the other side of my desk.  The stress level is so high in this 3 person office you can cut the tension with a knife.  After several attempts of hinting to my supervisor about what was going on went unheard i went to his supervisor and told him what was going on. We had a meeting and I was told by my supervisor that i was the one causing the problems and needed to apologize to her for whatever she was mad about even if it had nothing to do with me. Last Thursday whil I was at work I had a heart attack-I'm 36yrs old and only have 1 factor for a heart attack other than stress from the people that I work with. I have ignored her in the past but she's getting worse

WOW. That woman sounds like she needs help. However, it sounds like she's got your boss snowed. My advice is to look for a different job. That's outrageous. You might go to your supervisor directly, without her, and explain that you are in this position. Explain that if something doesn't change, you will be forced to look for a new job, if you don't stroke out first. I am so sorry you are dealing with this and I hope this is just a bit of help to you. Good luck and blessings to you.


im letting SETTI use my PC to crunch those data. i hope my PC finds what their looking for.

Absolutely! The odds that they exist are overwhelming when you think of how GALAXIES are scattered like specks of dust!\nNow... even though aliens exist, what are the odds that they are on another planet in our galaxy right NOW? Think about it... It took 50 million years for humans to appear on Earth. How long will we be here?... only 50 to 100 thousand years (hopefully)? How many other planets will bring forth intelligent life - not a whole heck of a lot. And of them, when will that life be around? Just a tiny amount of relative time.\n...What I am saying is that EVEN IF other civilizations were, are, or will be... the timeline of the universe is too insanely long for any of us to be co-existing. The reality may very well be that we are currently very alone here in our time and place. I hope this gives you a new, more realistic way of seeing things. Sorry it's such a downer, though!

what should I tell her and give good choices please

How about instead of wasting time trying to figure out an excuse, you actually do your homework?\n\nOr else you can work at Mickey D's for the rest of your life...\n\nSay it with me now:\n\n"Did you want fries with that?"\n\nHonestly!


she is pretty hot but in my opinion i dont think its right for her to ask me if ill get together with her again

well, if u dumped her there wuz prolly a reason...think about it...


If you really were, I wonder if you would say so.

This is the whole essence of spiritual enlightenment.\nYou KNOW. You UNDERSTAND.\n\nIn which case going around promoting this fact to others serves no purpose. Unless you are trying to just have a bunch of "followers".\n(In which case I would doubt that you have attained such a state.)\n\nAn individual who is spiritually enlightened (if you look back in history) will be trying to help others achieve this state for themselves.

What are the challenges of being an atheist?\nWhat are the advantages?

Being an atheist means one more thing (or, depending on how you look at it, thousands) you won't have to fool yourself about.  Because now, all you have to do is deal with concrete evidence, and the implications of that evidence.  It takes a lot of effort to maintain an honest religious mindset, and as an atheist, you've got a little more brain energy to devote to making real sense of things.


What parts of the brain are defected in a person whom suffers from bipolar?  I need to know how bipolar effects the brain.

Your first answer is very correct, seratonin has a lot to do with how your brain funtions. However, there are other factors involved such as minerals and other chemicals. It also has to do with electrical impulses sent into the brain. That is why medications that are used to treat epilepsy now are being used to treat Bipolar disorder. (Medications like Lamictal [Lamotragine]). Newer drugs are also on the market that treat bipolar disorder without the side effects of other drugs, like Abilify and Zyprexa. Lithium is also used. Sometimes your doctor may proscribe traditional SSRIs (Select-Seratonin Reuptake Inhibiters) like Prozac or Zoloft. Another effective medication is Lithium. The side effects are usually mild. \nIf you want to learn more go to www.nami.org or feel free to e-mail me.

Women age 59 & older seem to be "ignored" & de-valued! And most men say being committed to Christ is a turn-off! What a shame! We have alot of love and loyalty to share. Men "say" they seek these qualities-but in reality settle for so much less!

Any man that would feel that way about a Christian woman certainly doesn't understand the things or God. \n\nPray and ask the Lord, first of all, if it is His will for you to be married. and secondly, ask Him to send you the man that He wants you to be with. God knows what is best for you. \n\nRead I Cor. 7\nalot of this is talking about marriage but some of it pertains to those that are not married.


Usually people say that birds of all other species chirp.  However, the "Whoo" sound that the owl makes doesn't sound a like a "Tweet, Tweet".

I believe they 'Hoot,' but not all owls sound the same.  The Barred Owl hoots the stereotypical sound that is remembered by the rythmic saying "Who cooks for you, who, who?"  Screech owls and great horned owls have very different hoots than this.  Screech owls sound more like a horse whinny!\n\nOwls from all over the world have different sounds, chattering, hissing, and of course, hooting.


I've heard as much as 30%.  Does anyone have a source for this, or a different figure.  \n\nSeems very sad that the richest and most powerful country in human history can't take care of its veterans.

I have worked in the VA and volunteered as a Homeless Veterans' Advocate and can tell you the numbers vary throughout the country.  In some places, the % of homeless who are veterans is high, and in others low.  \n\nOne problem for veterans is that we were taught to be very self sufficient during our military days and told that to seek help is a sign of weakness our enemy would prey upon.  That belief translates into refusal to seek medical care when very ill to not seeking assistance for financial problems, to refusing to use services local governments have set up for homeless veterans.\n\nThe federal government's response to any problems veterans have (homeless or otherwise) is to ignore the problem until it is covered in the media, then provide talking points and slick handouts to tide the media storm over.  After that, its back to ignoring the veterans again.


The industrial revolution promoted the rise of a large, impoverished and powerless working class.  Communism offered workers their best chance for equality and prosperity in the face of capitalist exploitation.  What about this is bad?  please only answer if you are a thinker.

While the theory of Communism offered workers a chance for equality, the reality is that the class system still existed and there was little or no chance to bridge that gap.  The industrial revolution, a capitalistic event, also created the opportunity for that "large, impoverished and powerless working class" to rise above their means and create a better life for themselves based upon their effort and ability.  This opportunity does not exist in a communist state.  If you are born into a lower class family, you will die in that same class.  In a capitalist society, you have the ability and opportunity to be as successful or impoverished as you like.  Work hard and reap your just rewards or lie back and live off the gov't teet.  You decide.


I am unable to work anywhere else but home at the moment as I have Chronic fatigue syndrome. I really need a job, and am willing to work hard, but I am having trouble finding a suitable job. I will not pay people so I can get a job, and I do not want commision based jobs. I want an honest, proper, professional job. Anyone who knows anything, please let me know. Thankyou

I am in the frech system, and this year you have to choose between Litterature, Science and Economics for the baccalaureate.. I'm better at Economics, but I'm more tempted by Science.. knowing that Science lets you do any job u want in the future, that Economics is easier, and that i still have no i dea what i want to do in the future, what do u think i should do??

It is a fact that economics is easier than Science but Science is more interesting than economics. But this decision is totally based upon your interest, you cant understand any subject until and unless you are interested in it. If you are interested in plants, Animals, Bridges, Buildings, DNA and circuits like things then Science is a subject for you. And if you are interested in solving problems, making budget and stock market then you should choose economics as a major subject. Best of luck.


I have a cut on my leg and I think I need stitches so what do dI do?  PS-  No, I'm not telling my mom and dad, and No, I'm not going to a counsler.\nAny other ideas?

sure. the army field first aid manual book 2 says that you should sterilize the area well with methiolate, or sylvadine, mercurichrome or alcohol. then, using a needle, stitch the wound together using small, closely grouped stiches. allow to heal 1 week before removing, all the while using an antibiotic ointment daily. keep dry and clean. there! see? you don't need no stinking counselor. buck up, miss. it'll be ok.


If anyone has anything to say like "Christians dont care bout other peoples souls" then dont even bother putting an answer.

Only the christian sects evangelize, with the exception of Catholics.  Good Christians do care for others souls but through my own personal experience, most should practice the "remove the board from your own eye, before removing the mote in your neighbors".  I myself cannot stand to be preached at.  I feel that any religion that has to push itself onto people to prove themselves to be right should look at 2 non-evangelical religions for evidence that it is not neccessary: they are the Jewish faiths and true Islam (not the militant fanaticism).  They have out grown Christianity as the largest practices religions.  However the oldest is that of the Pagan sects.  It has continued to flourish and grow in spite of oppressive evangelical religions.  Why? because we keep to ourselves and just practicing being the best we can in our daily lives.  Realizing that we must be good to ourselves before we can do good for others, and without religious overtones.  That is true good works, when it is done because it needs to be and not in the name of a religion.


this is an interview for school, health class. Any age accepted. you dont have to give your name or anything, its anonymus. plz copy and paste questions w/ answers. My preference is for you to IM me and i will ask you there. THANK YOU\n\nhere are some questions:\n\nDo you smoke?\ndid you used to smoke?\nAt what age did you start?\nWhy? What was the circumstance?\nDo you know what tolerance is?\nDid you develop a tolerance?\nHow do you feel when you smoke?\nHow do you feel when you don't smoke?\nDid you ever try to quit?\nHow? What method? Did you have help?\nWhy did you quit?\nWhat does smoking do to the body?(what u know-dont search)\nDid you know you could get oral cancer?\nDid you know that it is harmful to the non-smoker?

Do you smoke? YES\ndid you used to smoke? YES\nAt what age did you start? 15\nWhy? What was the circumstance? I enjoyed it....initially I thought it looked cool.\nDo you know what tolerance is? Yes\nDid you develop a tolerance? Yes\nHow do you feel when you smoke? Wonderful!\nHow do you feel when you don't smoke? Horrible\nDid you ever try to quit? Nope....\nHow? What method? Did you have help? N/A\nWhy did you quit? I didn't and wouldn't.  I enjoy it too much!\nWhat does smoking do to the body?(what u know-dont search)Relaxes it.  Don't believe all the propoganda that claims it kills you.  If you know anything of science, you know that there were no control subjects in any study done, therefore the science is junk.\nDid you know you could get oral cancer? Yes, did you know that non-smokers can get oral cancer?\nDid you know that it is harmful to the non-smoker? Did you know that 2nd hand smoke is a fairy tale?  Do a little research and you will see that in 1998 the Supremem Court overrulled the EPA's opinion on 2nd hand smoke.  The courts said there was no solid proof that 2nd hand smoke is bad for ANYONE!  I urge you to research this item for your paper.


This is CHL hockey and I've been there too long now to ask people sitting around me without feeling foolish.

When a goal is scored against an opposing team, the home team will chant "Sieve."  A sieve is a colander or strainer, or something that easily lets things through it (like a bad goalie!)\n\nAmerican College Hockey is primarily where this tradition started.  For example, the Minnesota Golden Gopher mascot, Goldy Gopher, used to be able to simply point at the opposing netminder, getting the entire crowd to chant "Sieve" at his whim.


does running more and more and getting better in shape make my forty time faster how many miles would i have to run a week

Well if you practice running a lot you will improve your running ability.\nI would run at least ten miles a week if I were you.

just trying to know what frequency for maturbation is normal????????????????????????????????????????????

i dont think that it will effect your sex life or your future. \n\nbut dont do it if your going to join the army.... i knew a guy who was at it all the time and caused low levels of protein (i think it was protein anyways - it was something important), so when he had his assesment at the army he wasnt allowed to join until he let his levels build up again lol

I have a few advertisements for diplomas. The costs are all different. What is the fairest price for a really good looking (and framed) diploma to put on my wall?

I'll sell you a copy of mine for 10 dollars plus shipping


one of the most entertaining & thought provoking books on schoolkids I've ever read, but lost my copy.

Yes, I read it many years ago. It was written by Bel Kaufman.


I do not think that there is a mold that must be fit. If so, the "classy" women would be so alike they would b boring! Class is not a wealth status, name brand, or how you cross your legs and sit on your chair. Class is how you handle situations of severity. Class is self-respect and the unspoken request that others respect you as well. Class is a genuine woman.


I lived in another state and recently my father passed away.  I came home to help my mom but now i need a job. I have overall skills but haven't work because i was taking care of my father until his passing.

www.monster.com sometimes www.craigslist.org\nThe best way to find a job is to get out the yellow pages and find places you would like to work. Call them up and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention or ask if they are hiring and can you come in for an interview. Make sure the resume is very specific about what you are looking for.  If it's vague the resume goes into the garbage. Only 10% of the job openings ever make it to the ad s. 70% of jobs are filled through someone you know-your mother's cousin or whoever.


well after i broke up in my last relationship i was afraid 2 love again. i dont want 2 get hurt again no way!! cuz now im in a relationship with some1 and i realy love him and im afraid im gonna lose him and im going 2 get hurt again should i break up or wat?

Listen to your heart. Give him a chance & give you a chance also. If you keep being afraid as now, you could never be in love again. But does he really love you?


I was scamed by an e-mail that was sent to me. I didn't know thatI was getting scamed til I googled it. Please help I'm freakin out about this and I don't know what to do.

That stuff is listed in phone book; as long as you didn't give out info like ss#, bank accts., credit cards, you will probably be okay.  If you are that concerned you can call one of the credit bureaus and ask what their policies are on unusal activity regarding your credit.  If you report it ahead of time this may help you with any liabilities in the future.  Good luck.\n\n I hope you didn't give any bank info to this man.  If so, call your bank tomorrow and explain situation.  Cancel acct. and wait to reopen a different one till you call soc sec..  Call soc sec. office and explain what happened and that your # and info may have been compromised. They will probably have a new one issued to you.


The Mobile Solution cell phone dealers are big liers and dishonest.I had a cell phone plan with them, then I wanted to change my number over to another carrier but keep att with a new number so att canceled the account then restarted just for number change.Now the mobile solution sent me a letter from United finacial service that I have to pay over 250 for breach of contract etc...and the creditor is saying that they will make my credit score go down if I dont pay.Can they really make my credit bad?what can I do about this should I contact the mobile solution corporate office? Instead of going to the mall and talking to a manager??

They can impact your credit score, although it's hard to say how much.  If you normally pay everything else on time, you won't be hurt as much by one bad account.  However, if you are late on a lot of accounts or don't have a good record with anyone, then you'll see a much larger impact.\n\nIf United Financial is calling you with that threat, they are probably a collection agency.  They may have bought your old debt for a very small percentage of what you owe.  If you are really concerned about your credit but can't afford the $250, you can probably get them to settle for a lot less.  If you tell them you can't afford the entire amount but you want to settle the debt, they may offer you a deal - like $100 to call it even.


By end up i mean-what kind of job would you be able to get?

Researcher at a medical think-tank?  Employment at WHO?


The American president is poking his nose in the private matters of India and Iran, who are developing naitons. Bush boes not want them to progress at all and thinks if Iran and India become nuclear powers, it will be a problem for the US and give further rise to terrorism.

that's exactly the point. he doesn't want them to have nuclear power because it could hurt the US if it ever came to that point.


Does anyone know how this works.  I asked my dauther (who knows this type of stuff) to transfer my limewire to my itunes with one click all my limewire files were gone, we cannot find them anyplace.  Was i suppose to save them to a file or just upload and move. Any idea where they went or if i am SOL.

what you have to do is select the "add folder to library tab" located under the file menu in Itunes.\nBy default limewire saves you files to c:\ documents and settings\"username"\shared.\n\nthe "username" is the name of the user you are logged in to your computer with.\n\nonce you do that you should be able to update your Itunes library. \n\nIf your files are not in the directory listed above then you should open lime wire and click on library. once there you if you look at the tabs above your files one says "names". you are looking for the one that has "path" written on it. this will tell you where your files are.


Our daughter wants to major in psychology & go to school in either Austin or San Antonio, if possible.  Which college would be the best?  She's got very good grades, etc. but finding the best & right school is what we're trying to do.  (Done all the locators on Prince Review, etc. need some real world advice.) Thanks.

Well, the idea of "best" depends on what you are looking for. UT Austin is clearly the most renowned of the two depts. It will be a big dept, very research focused, a number of classes taught by grad students, some very good opportunities to hear seminars by leading psychologists. San Antonio is likely to be smaller, more personal interaction, more classes taught by regular faculty.\n\nSo, the best depends on what you want. If you want best from the outside, UT Austin has it hands down. If you want best in terms of fit for your daughter, I don't think you can tell this until you and she have actually visited the schools and talked to students and sat in on classes and looked at what fits best for her.\n\nGood luck! A fun but scary time! Either way it will be a good education for her.


What is the most complex math? Calculus? Trigonometry? Statistics? Something else? And what makes it so complex?

Analytic and Algebraic Number Theory contain easily stated theorems with extensive wide-spanning proofs that require knowledge from almost every area of mathematics, including topology and category theory. As such, I would say this area of study is the most difficult, as one that requires the most mathematical experience to tackle. \nAlgebraic topology, on the other hand, can easily be taught in its basic form to motivated high schoolers. It doesn't even require knowledge of calculus, though such knowledge enriches the subject when one gets to cohomology and applications to vector fields and differential equations. These topics can be saved for a college course.


explain why iceland is a good place to use hydrothermal power, power produced from heated water.

Iceland, officially the Republic of Iceland (Icelandic: Ísland or Lýðveldið Ísland) is an island nation, a volcanic island in the northern Atlantic Ocean between Greenland, Norway, Ireland, Scotland and the Faroe Islands.\n\nGeological and volcanic activity\nIceland is located on both a geological hot spot, thought to be caused by a mantle plume, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This combined location means that the island is extremely geologically active, having many volcanoes, notably Hekla, and geysers (itself an Icelandic word). With this widespread availability of geothermal power, and also because of the numerous rivers and waterfalls that are harnessed for hydropower, residents of most towns have hot water and home heat for a low price. The island itself is composed primarily of cooled basalt lava.


I need to lose weight. I know that. But, I have to lose atleast 35 pounds by June 2006. I am taking Stacker 2, which is actually helping to curb my appetite. I am also doing cardio( walking for atleaste 20 mintues) 3-4 days a week. I also am cutting down on what i used to eat, and stop eating around 8 at night. How long do yall think It would take me to lose 35 pounds, given that i am 6'2, 22 years old?

Congrats to you for trying. Sounds like you've made some good efforts so far, although I don't know anything about Stacker 2. You're going to need to excercise more than that most likely if you want to lose the weight faster (have you ever seen that 'biggest loser' show they work out like mad!) ...and also, make sure that what you're eating is the right foods and not the wrong ones...like LOTS of fruits, veggies, and getting a lot of fiber. I would suggest Weight Watchers, they have the best program that I've ever known. Good luck!


Ok here we go, my b.f Nick was going out with me for a long time and we were great....but i realized how much he had changed since the 1st time we met....he never did anything special for me anymore! I broke up with him thinking that if we broke up and went back out it would be like the 1st time we met. BUT to find out he had moved on in less then 3 days of our break up! Does that mean that he didn't care much about me? But theres more! 2 weeks after our break up i told him that i was sorry for breaking up with him...and he said.......oh well shes just my back up untill someone better comes along.....if he has another girl as his back up now did that mean i was his back up then? HELP ME PLEZZ!

I know this may not be what you like to hear if you had a man as your back up would he still want you. Iam leaving this to common sense because this has to come into this relationship. Plus if they or not having safe sex than your in danger of many things you can cacth.


depend on which country, china has been civilised for a super long time than america, so you cant say the "true" mm/dd/yy, until you know where ya are


I am 23 years old and my girl is 22;every weekends w get to have great sex (doing it up to six rounds at a time)......\nI feel she likes it a little to much to be trusted when I am not around .

Can anyone one tell me how I can get better at walking and dancing in stilletos. I have boney ankles and was wondering if there was anything that could help me get better at walking in heels

I wear them all the time. The best kind are the ones with a strap/buckle around the ankle. They keep ur feet from sliding around as much. The only way to get better though is practice. When ur at home wear them like they're ur house shoes dance and go up and down the stairs in them. Even do ur house work like mopping or vaccuming u'll get killer calves which will look super sexy when u go out. \n\n*To help with the pain get cushions that stick on the inside of ur shoe which are sold at almost all shoe stores.


Alright, I'm horrible.  I admit it.  Someone please explain to me how I am supposed to keep my checkbook in order.  I write down every transaction properly, but I still come up short every month.  Is there a way to zero it out and start over?

Balancing a checkbook should be easy, but there are a number of pitfalls.\n\nIf you're using a check card with that account then you have another source of outgoing funds to consider. You can only balance your check book when you consider what other monies are being taken out of that account. Additionally, money drawn out from that account may not be removed the same day as the tramsaction. Add to that the complications of interest payments and funds coming into the account and transaction fees and you will end up with a headache.\n\nI suggest you either use your statements to balance your account (even better with software such as Quicken or even Excel) or you use online banking, which is always right (as of close of last business day) even if you can't figure out why.


My wife and I are making plans to change our country of residence, but haven't been able to make a decision 'cause we haven't agreed on which country would be the best.

I'm a senior in college studying Journalism and I'm desperately trying to get an internship with a local newspaper. Can anyone help me out?

the medill school of journalism at northwestern in evanston is a really good school.  i'm not sure about internships though, but i would definitely check it out.  good luck!


I need to do an assigment,well,i mean,a project which work with our skul's English Society,so we decided to work out this sort of idol competition....so anyone pls help me ....tell me wat to do to get rid the word of "American" from the logo "American Idol" and replace it wit "Krian" perfectly.....pls give me this aid as soon as possible...Thxs a lot....

Avoid plagiarism when doing schoolwork; this means taking the work of someone else and claiming it to be your own. Most teachers grade harshly on what they see as plagiarism. I would recommend drawing your own logo from scratch that looks similar enough to the American Idol logo for your tastes. You could probably find someone who is good at drawing and then scan that drawing into the computer.\n\nAlso, doing what you're asking is not a skill easily learned and so I would also recommend drawing it from scratch for that reason.


I'm talking about a strong guy, someone in good shape not a couch potato or a wimp.

Absolutely, theres a nerve behing the jaw that if you hit someone right they will fold like a sheet.


I'm taking a Creative Selling Seminar and the final thesis is about selling to a specific target thet we don't know at all. We are asked to find useful data of IT Managers, in order to develop a selling strategy.\n\nI'll be thankful if anyone provides me with some insight.

Small business?  IT Manager?  None of the small businesses I know of have an IT Manager.  As a technical consultant, I guess you could say that I act as IT manager for some of my clients.  Probably the biggest issue they face is the learning curve for their applications, because they just need it to work, now, and don't have a lot of time or inclination to sit there and figure it out.  Especially if there are a few employees involved, moving inventory around - those guys have no clue and don't want to be bothered having to sit at a computer.  Something with minimal input required - like bar code readers - would usually be helpful.


Who all gives the more comments :-India or Pakistan,I will chose someone's answer as the best answer.


A1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength; and love your neighbor as yourself. There are no greater commandments than these. It is our purpouse, and what we were designed for.\nA2. Because the world is messed up. From the time humankind first sinned the world has been in a state of decay, so to live we have to resist that decay (i.e. WORK) in order to, out of the chaos of decay, produce order (food, shelter, video games, etc;). Think second law of thermodynamics, the only way to counter it is orderly input of energy, in this case, through work.


I don't really like the Democrats or the Republicans, but the other parties never stand a fighting chance come election time.  I want to see a party where they are upfront with American people, do not pander but actually stand up for something they believe, and care more about the people in this country than making big business happy.  Can this ever happen?  Which party stands the best chance to be on par come election time?  How do we get another party to become strong enough to have a fighting chance?

It would be nice, but no. These two parties are too powerful and have too much money for a third party to compete. They will try, as they have in the past, but they won't succeed. I don't like to believe that any vote is "wasted" but I do believe that voting for the third party just increases the chances of getting someone like Bush in office again. I find it apalling that anyone could still support this man or the Republican party after all they have done to damage our country.\n\nI have voted for a third party in the past, but as I've grown older I realize that it just did more damage than good, so I will remain a democrat. The only way I would vote for a 3rd party again would be if I saw (through the polls) that the person running clearly had a chance, and if they ran on a platform I could really support.\n\nBut don't ever not vote. Don't ever believe that your vote doesn't count. We have a responsibility to vote for the person we believe should be in office, even if you do vote for a third party candidate.


My husband left me and my 4 month old about 2 months ago (we live in Texas) to work in the Hurricane Damage in New Orleans. The main reason he decided to go was becasue he more that quadrupled our income by going down there. (He's now making roughly 4,000 dollars a month compared to the 1k a month (I'm not kidding) we were making). I'm a college student and SAHM by the way. Anyway, the hwole point of him working there was for us to have a new start, buy a house etc, but we can't seem to save ANYTHING. The money goes SOOO fast between me going there to visit him, him coming here, and living expenses for both of us plus we are honestly blowing a LOT of money (not necessarily blowing, i mean we're buying clothes for our daughter, new carseat, new crib, clothes for us, TONS of videos (that's our hobby since neither of us drink or smoke). We really cant help it, we are so used to NOT having any money, its hard to not be spending. ANyone have any suggestions, I honestly want him home already

having a kid is very expensive but necessary, traveling is expensive too.  i have my wages direct deposited to my checking acount, and then i have an automatic deposit from checking to my online savings account every pay period.  it is not much but it adds up and you earn interest.  by the way you should definitely have savings, especially with a child.


women just don't seem to like nice clean cut men anymore.

I think it is society and TV that have murdered a girl's mind since childhood. But, I love a guy who is funny and likes me because of my personality not not my tits

Do you think people have some sort of wierd mood in thier lives where they just question everything and wonder why they are alive and who they want to become. im feeling that now and im 20...does this have to do with my age?

yes.  It's called growth.  Review "Maslow's hierarchy of needs".


People need to stop believing EVERYTHING they read! Marriage is for any person that finds someone that will marry them. The article is just there to sell newspapers. The older ANY woman gets, the better the chance that she will not get married. The older we get, the fewer men we have to choose from. Women outlive men still, so that will reduce the numbers. Some older men are only looking for younger women, so that will reduce the numbers, and the other men are either gay, too young or already married. It is only natural that as women get older their chance to marry would be reduced.\n\n@--->---


give me an exsample.  i want to sell some clothes


i have a lesbian partner, whom i really love.. we love everything in each other...she is affectionate, sweet and great in bed. but my family doesnt like lesbian. and there comes my close friend whom im starting to like..and my family liked him to but im not sure of this guy because he is so unpredictable though he said he like me nd love me... he even kissed me... but still i love her i dont know wat exactly should i do....HELP!

In my experience go with your heart.  I was always worrying about my family liking my boyfriends and everything but then I sat down and thought about how much I actually see my family and I hardly ever saw them and I was with my boyfriend...now my husband...all the time.  He was what made me happy not my family or my friends who didn't like him.  If this guy is unpredictable...why risk being hurt by someone like that when you can be with someone who does love you and  you know that for sure without a doubt.  Who cares what other people think of your sexuality.  They don't have to live out your life and they don't have to be with the girl...so do what you want and mroe importantly what your heart wants.


Verizon help says even if my neighbor's phone is DSL ready, mine isn't.   How can this be?

Whether you can get DSL depends on which switch your phone winds up connected. \n\nYour neighbors could have DSL -- even if they are in the same building, next door down -- and you could not, because your phone is connected to a switch that can't handle DSL, while theirs is.\n\nIt's difficult to believe that Verizon could have switches so old that they can't handle DSL still in service in Manhattan, but it's apparently true.\n\nYou may find that if other people in your building can have DSL service, that asking Verizon to install a brand-new line would work. Of course, that will prove expensive. Or, if you are really, really lucky, simply asking them to give you a new number may move you to a DSL-capable switch.\n\nMy brother uses TW Cable service in NYC and is very happy with it, as an alternative.


In ALL religions, it seems the "religious" people are the most close-minded. Judging is a privilege that should only belong to God. It is not our place to judge other people. So why do so many "religious" people do it?

Those types  do it because they are afraid of anyone who is different than them.  In the end, they are more fanatical than religious.  \n\nTruly religious people look for the good in everyone and strive to live by the guidelines of their religion in a positive and wholesome way.  They may not approve, and in acting on that, they are trying to guide a person into a more positive way of life.  But they don't ostracize or judge.  As you said, it is God's place to be the ultimate judge.  \n\nIt isn't just religious people that judge though.  I have found that more and more people are liable to make snap judgements about people - causing them to act like gossipy high schoolers.  The best thing to do is to avoid people like that and those you mentionned and surround yourself with people who love and care about you.  Good luck with whatever you are being judged on.

I am a guy of 21 years of age.\nActually, today,....I dont know how for the very first time in my life, i forgot to close the door of our combined wash-room......then after sometime...suddenly she entered the bath...and saw me fully naked...she was out of her senses for few minutes and the same happened to me!\nthen she promptly returned back to her room!....now 5 hours have passed and I have not yet faced her...pls advise me how should i face her...and how to resolve this matter?

Neither one of you did anything wrong.  This happens from time to time to family members.  Just tell her it's not a big deal and that you will try not to forget to close the door every again.  Tell her sorry for forgetting to close the door.  The bigger a deal you make of it the bigger a deal it will become.  If your sister sees that you are OK and it's not bothering you then she will begin to do the same.\nThis has happened to me and my brother who is older than I am a few times.  We blew it off as no big deal.  We are both still to this day OK.  Neither one of us is in a loonie farm or anything like that.\nThe longer you put off talking to her the harder it will be to get back to normal.  So go and tell her, "Hi there"  If she brings it up just tell her, "Oh no biggie, Sorry I forgot to close the door."\nDon't fret it
