Over the summer I had impetigo and it went away like it was suppose to..but ever since then Ive had a rash by my mouth..it might be dry skin but it doesnt matter what kind of face suff i try to use to get rid of it, it never goes away!!! Im not sure..but I could need some help..maybe?

1. oral herpes Picture\n\n2. impetigo picture.\n\nhere are the sites for the picture, have a look at them.


The picture is photo-shopped, and the technology is no where near a cloak like that depicted being patented.  The research decribed is talking about individual nano-particles (meaning less than a millionth of a meter).  Maybe one day, but I seriously doubt it will be any time in the next 200 years (and probably not even then).  The technology is amazingly complex.


I have a recipe for making fog juice and i would like some hints on how to make it stay on the ground (like dry ice)\n\nIt is a Glyerin to Distilled water mix\n\nI mix for a small batch 1 cup of distilled water to 1 oz or 2 tablespoons and Glycerin

You might want to use triethylene glycol instead of glycerol (glycerine) with water.  If you make the glycerol smoke too thick, it will leave a sticky film on everything.  You can further mix the triethylene glycol with propylene glycol to create thicker, heavier, billowing or just whispy.  Range the percentage of the glycol from 10 to 75% with the water.\n\nif you are going to use glycerol, make sure you do not get the one with sorbitol or any other additive.\nUse destilled de-ionized water if possible.\n\nFor added bonus add food coloring to the mixture before putting it in the fog machine.  If you have multiple fog machines you can create various effects, blue smoke that hovers, neon yellow that billows on the floor and so on...  \n\nYou can add water based aromas to like sandalwood, but test it through your machine first.  Some scorches the scent and does not smell pleasant.\n\nThe higher percentage of glycol the thicker the smoke.


My ex and I have been back and forth for a while, but we haven't been much back together since our divorce last April.  However he wanted kids and a family, supposedly ..but that's obviously not so true or he wouldn't of cheated..lied, etc to cause our divorce.  He was emailing sporadically, not necessarily being nice however.  But he said before he didn't want to see our kids because it would hurt him too much.  I told him to get over himself and think about how THEY feel.  The last time he wrote he said his family..including us..would probably never see him again.  When he was around our kids he was a good dad, but he wasn't always around much.  He doesn't carry pics of the kids in his wallet either, however if he dates other girls he takes in their kids as his own, carries their pictures, spends time with them,etc he even used to work at a daycare.  Am I missing something here?  Is he just fronting, does he really care, should I just leave it alone?!?!  My kids are crushed!

I'm sorry to say but I think it's a case of "out of sight, out of mind".  \n\nI imagine he does love his kids but is so selfishly involved with his own life, they are easy to forget.  He just tells himself it's not his fault, and that they are getting everything they need without his being there. That takes care of any conscience he has going on.\n\nI say this because when my husband & I split up, he told me the same thing about visiting his kids - that it hurt him too much to have to leave them again.  In reality, he didn't care enough to send them birthday or Christmas gifts or even to bother with support payments.  When they were grown, he started to see them for awhile but when they didn't worship him, he stopped.  Amazingly, he was the one who wanted to have a houseful of kids too.\n\nHe always had the time and money for his own life. He just didn't have the emotions needed to separate his kids from his marriage pain.\n\nIt's rough on the kids but if you are strong and give them a lot of love and supervision, they will come through it alright.\n\nBest of luck to you.


im trying to build my 350 up but i dont have a ton of money to work with i already got deal exhuast and headers and a turbo 350 trans with a 2500 low end stall converter ,  im bassically looking for advice on bolt ons and also looking for good advice on a good carb size and type for the 350

a solid lift cam from a 1969 302 z28 engine, 202 intake valves, [preferably double hump heads, if you cant find these use 882 casting truck heads and have them cut for 2.02 intake valves.] a 700 double pumper holley, and most importantly,TIMING!!!! I MEAN BOTH IGNITION AND CAM TIMING. BUY A DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING SET AND RUN IT ON THE ADVANCED MARK. THEN BUY A RECURVE KIT FOR YOUR DISTRIBUTOR, RUN THE VACUUM LINE TO THE PORT ON THE CARB THAT SUCKS VACUUM ON ACCELERATION. WHEN YOU SET YOUR TIMING, REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM AND HOLD IT THERE. ADVANCE THE TIMING UNTIL THE ENGINE BEGINS TO MISS OUT, THEN BACK THE TIMING OFF UNTIL IT RUNS SMOOTHLY AGAIN, AND TIGHTEN IT UP, THEN RE-HOOK YOUR VACUUM LINE TO THE CARB. DOING THIS WILL ENSURE YOU THAT THE CAM TIMING AND IGNITION TIMING ARE ON THE SAME AXIS, A MUST FOR STREET CAR PERFORMANCE, YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN PREMIUM FUEL, I RECOMMEND AMACO ULTIMATE, GOOD LUCK.


i used to love Johnny until he betrayed the Red Sox and did the worst thing possible for being a Red Sox player

i dont know but i HATE THE RED SOX MANAGMENT FOR IT!!!!! I used to love him too. He looks really ugly with short hair and a Yankees uniform. I think that he didnt want to go, he was like crying on the interview when he said that he was glad to be there.:-(


I think they do but im not 100% sure and ive heard people say they do and some that say they dont.

Right. Most females have orgasms that do not involve shooting or spraying any liquid, but some do.  Both situations are normal.  The liquid being ejaculated is chemically similar to proatate fluid in a man.

A young man carelessly bumps into a old lady at a crowded supermarket, causing her packages fall over the floor.\n If you were the careless young man, would you apologize and how to apologize?\n What do you think the severity of the offense : 1=low   2=moderate   3=high\nThanks again!

Yes I would definately apologize, and I would do so by saying I'm very sorry, excuse me..let me help you gather your things back up.  And if any bags broke I'd go get new ones for her.  It would be a high concern if he didn't apologize..or if it was on purpose.  But if it were a true accident, or if he was truly sorry AND helped then it would be a low offense.

Is it just me or is SNL an absolutely horrible show now? I only watch it for " Weekend Update" because it is the only funny part of the show. Who else agrees that the show's hilarity has really fallen off?

I think either SNL is over already or they need new writers and new actors. It's tasteless!!! The only reason that the audience laughed is because of the blinking sign that told them to. Making fun of tragedy like that is in poor taste and the best thing to do is complain to their sponsors and tell them you won't buy their product if they sponsor that crap. The more people that do that, they'll lose sponsors. No money- no show!

When we met 4 yrs ago, he told me that he was not married. so we bought a home together and got engaged.  That's when I learned from his son that he was still married.  I was told by my fiance not to worry because he had not lived with his wife in 8 years and that he would get a divorce.  When I began, after 3 years to pressure him to get started with the divorce, he said he did not want to divorce.  He said it would cost him too much money.  He is not going back to his wife, but refuses to get a legal separation or divorce.  He is also worried that his controlling daughter, who is 27 yrs, will not have anything to do with him if he divorces his wife.  She told him that he will not be able to see his grandaughter anymore.  So, we have to sell the house of which I have grown to love.  I have since retired and am having a hard time finding another house on my fixed income.  Do I have any rights at all?  Thanks  (Our house is up for sale now)

depending on what state you live in yes. Is there any chance of working a deal with him out of courts? If he is unwilling/unable to make your relationship work will he split 50/50 and walk away?\nmost states have a website where you can search your situation and you have definatly have some legal grounds since he entered a verbal aggrement to be married to you with no intention of doing so but as to the extent depends on where you are.


Hi I Live outside Usa and I want to send a script of a T.v show to a channel e.g ABC and it is quite possible for me to shift to usa if they want me to.. so is there a way for we to send a sample from internet ? Please help me\n\nReally Thanking U !!!

Most major studios and TV channels all have a website and I imagine you can do it from there, just look them up on a search engine.  But I wouldn't bother sending them a script, it will just get tossed in the garbage or the e-mail deleted.  Best way to go about doing that is first get a lawyer and copywrite it then get an agent and let them try to sell it.  Most get thousands of scripts a year by mail and all of them get junked.


why exactly do we feel deja vu? what logic do u feel behind this phenomenon is?

It is the mind remembering a very similar situation that happened in a past life.  You know it has happened before, but you can't explain it because you can't remember when.  I like to think of it as a bit of psycic experiece.


HE ALWAYS WATCH SEX FILMS AND TOLD ME TO COME AND WATCH IT WITH HIM BUT I DON'T CARE ABOUT THOSE FILMS BUT I MUST SAY TO HIM OK I'LL COME AS NOT TO KEEP HIM ANGRY BUT I FEEL SO MAD WHEN I SAW HIM FEELING SEXY WHEN HE SEE BITCHES AND THEN HE TOLD ME (I MISS U) AND THEN WE BEGAIN TO MAKE SEX BUT HE DON'T CARE IF I'M FEELING NICE OR NOT HE JUST WANNA HIM SELF ALWAYS TO BE SATISFING AND ME IS NOTHING? SO PLZ I LOVE HIM AND I SUPPOSED THAT HE LOVE ME EVEN MORE I LOVE HIM BUT MANY TIMES HE SHOW ME HIS CARELESS ABOUT ME AND MY FEELING AND ACUSSED ME BY FEELING JEALOUS ALTHOUGHT I'M SO PRETTY GIRL ! SO WHAT CAN I DO ?

It's funny sex and love are two different things. I'm sure he isnt trying to hurt you,but he is insensitive to your feelings. You should tell him what you want...not what you don't want. Part of being satisfied is rolling with what turns your partner on so they are satisfied. It's much easier to get yourself off if your partner is happy. Not to reward him for being selfish, but I would give a good acting job just once to see how he reacts if YOU are the one that is getting off to porn.


After a few months of increased sexual activity, my girlfriend says her bra is not big enough anymore.  Do the increased hormones cause larger breasts?

No it is not true. Breasts are fat and nothing more. And yes hormones can cause larger breasts as women who are pregnant will testify to. \n Sexual activity will not affect hormones unless it results in pregnancy.

no, it is immoral to watch people suffer and die from cancer and alzheimers, when something can be done about these and other diseases.  Anyone who doesn't think so should spend one day at a nursing home or the cancer ward in a hospital.

since I became disabled I have had to use my credit card to make insurance payments and now Its hard to make min. payment

Please go to www.daveramsey.com - this plan of simple common sense can help you !!!\n\n\nFirst, Stop using your credit cards.\n\n \n\n“People change their lives only when they say, ‘I’ve had it!’” – Les Brown\n\n \n\nThink you can’t exist in the 21st century without credit?  Do you have at least one credit card?  Did you sign up just for the bonus miles or cash back?  Sounds like it’s time for you to perform a plasectomy.  (That’s what Dave calls cutting up your credit card.)  You’ve heard all the lies, now here are a few facts about credit.\n\n \n\nMyth: No on can live without credit cards.\n\nFact: Actually, 24% of American households are getting by just fine without any type of credit according to a Federal Reserve survey of consumer finances.  Try using your debit card or cash instead.  If millions of Americans can live without credit, so can you!\n\n \n\nMyth: Credit cards help me get airline miles, cash back and other discounts.\n\nFact: Yeah, credit cards also help you get into debt.  Consumer Reports say that only 25% of airline miles are ever redeemed – and credit card companies know it.  Earning a few airline miles is not worth thousands of dollars in debt.  \n\n \n\nMyth: I can just pay off the balance at the end of every month.\n\nFact: You’ll be in the minority.  According to CardWeb.com, only 40% of credit card users pay off their balance when they receive the bill.  Plus, overspending is inevitable when you use a credit card.  It’s just easier to swipe a piece of plastic than it is to flash the cash.\n\n \n\nMyth: “Ninety days same as cash” is the smart way to buy.\n\nFact: “Ninety days same as cash” is a scam.  Retailers know that most consumers won’t pay their balance in 90 days, which means you get stuck with outrageous interest rates and back charges to boot.\n\n \n\nMyth: I’m required to have a credit card to buy a house.\n\nFact: Several quality mortgage companies provide underwriting which allows you to purchase a home without a credit card.  If your mortgage lender requires a credit card for your home loan, run – don’t walk – to a lender who will actually help you achieve freedom from credit.


The passage appears in a letter from Lincoln to Col. William F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864.\n\n"We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing its end. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood ... It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic; but I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless."\nPresident Abraham Lincoln

What time will Manny Pacquiao fight Morales?

Hey, just bringing this old question up for a vote.


The bible states the Lord gave and Lord taketh away..Blesseth be the name of the Lord.....Job 1:21

First, all through the bible, it says God can and will, do whatever he wants, which includes forgiving. In no place in the bible, does it say you can not be forgiven for taking your own life, BUT, the bible states in [1 Corinthians 6:19,20], "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; [20] you were bought at a *price. Therefore honor God with your body.\n"-(*through Christ's dying on the cross for all mankind). \n\n  You're not alone, but be aware of how God looks at the broken hearted: [Psalm 51:17] "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."\nand here:\n[Isaiah 57:15 ] "For this is what the high and lofty One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite."\n\n  I look at it this way. Hopefully, when someone finds themself at this door, I hope they may believe that calling on the name of the Lord will save them as it says in [Acts 2:21].\n\n The bible says doing that, will save your life for the Holy Spirit inside, will create in us a new creation - [2 Corinthians 5:17] "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" and in [Ephesians 2:10] "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."\n\n  When the Holy Spirit rebuilds a person's mind, it redirects that persons attention similar to this: [Psalms 16] "[8] I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. [9] Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, [10] because you will not abandon me to the grave.."\n\nThis process begins to bring peace of mind to us once again.\n\nWe stay hopeful and in earnest in the future by remembering some of God's promises:\n[Hebrews 7:25] "He is able to save to the uttermost.."\n[Hebrews 13:5] Christ says "I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you"\n[1st John 4:4] Christ said "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world", speaking of the Holy Spirit sealed in us when we accept being born again, or leaving our old ways to take on Christ's ways.\n\nIt's worth it to just think about some of this before making that final commitment to end it.\n\n The following web site will read the bible to you for free: (you will need to download the free RealPlayer media player to listen)\nhttp://www.audio-bible.com/bible/contents.html

when my skin touch wiht dust or some chemical and especially dry and cold weather,it will turn to be very dry,itchy,get red and crack.\ni use lots of moiturelizer and also sometime use some drug to reduce the itchy and dry. but it only for a while,the problem still happen. so what can i do? or what medicine should take?\n\nplease answer. thank u.

When it gets red, dry and itcy, you can use hydrocortisone cream. You can get it OTC. Do not use the cream for more than 2 weeks. Take benadryl to stop the itchiness so that you wont scratch and worsen it. Keep it mosturized all the all time. I like Aveeno, it is a soy-base moisturizer. Protect your skin from chemicals that irritate your skin by weraing gloves. If this doesnt help, I would suggest you get help from a doctor. It might be not be just skin allergy.

It does have a high price, I used to use photoshop, back in the late 90s.  Then it just got really expensive.  Now I use a program called The Gimp, or Gimpshop.  The Gimp is an image editor even more powerful than photoshop in some respects.  Gimpshop is the Gimp with a photoshop skin.  I use Gimpshop because I was used to photoshop.  Its a great program, best of all, its FREE!!! and a much smaller download than photoshop (legal too).

My mother weighs 500lbs, and need a nursing home with physical therapy, and the equipment to do physical therapy.  the hospital is just trying to throw her in the first dump they can find.


I have had 4 heart operations, and since the most recent one, i have become unable to wear a size 6 dress, but i used to be able to wear size 6. So what I am wondering is whether or not my rib cage is actually too large as a result of a) repeated breaking and healing of my rib cage from the surgeries; b) the fact that my chest and lungs are likely someone expanded from my oversized heart and possibly oversized lungs (from working so hard for 25 years). It's as if the dress physically cannot move to close beyond a certain point because my ribs are in the way.

It could be possible.  Scar tissue is thicker than normal bone, cartilage, skin, etc.


we want to have second child and i want to know the exact time limit to have sex after the periods so that i can become pregnent easily & what is the reason that i dont feel the penis has gone fully inside my vagina. when we have sex it comes out immediately after few minutes. is this reason that i am not getting pregnent or this thing does not matter.is it true if the mouth of the uters is small the penis does not fully go inside the and the sperms does not reach the egg pls ans me in detail and correctly i am in much tension.

The penis need not go in so far for you to conceive the sperm moves on its own. What I can suggest is lie calmly for about half an hour facing up after the act and allow the sperms to do its job. You will conceive fast I assure you


My daughter is 6, and her father has never had anything to do with her by his own choice and recently when the county tried opening a child support case he decided he wanted custody to get out of child support. Now it's looking like he may get joint custody and if he does, I greatly fear for my babys life. He is irresponsible, lives in a filthy environment, and wasn't even allowed to be around his sister until she turned 18 because of molestation issues (which the court won't look at because it is a juvenile record)He also has 3 felonies which are supposedly irrelevant because they were for burglury and theft and didn't harm anyone. I don't even want the child support, I just want him to leave us alone. I don't know what to do-Please Help!!!

How painful!  Have your attorney push for a way to get him into parenting classes before he even gets a minute alone with your daughter.  Make the hoops he needs to jump through cost him something.  He's not been a parent and it stands to reason that he should learn something of the skills required before he takes your child even one day.  At one time my husband and I were discussing divorce and custody and he told me he was going to fight for custody and I told him to be ready to pee in a jar ***** which backed him RIGHT off.  Have a talk with your daughter and let her know that she can tell you anything at anytime, even if her father tells her to keep it a secret or he's threatened her.  Let her know that she can always tell you anything and that the only reason grown-ups make little kids keep secrets is because the grown-up is doing something he's not supposed to.  That way, if he does do the unthinkable, you stand a much better chance of knowing soon and getting help immediately.  Just something to keep in mind.  Also, he will not now or ever get full custody of your child as long as your own nose stays clean.  The courts reeeaaaaalllllly see no reason to remove a child from their primary custodial parent unless there is some darn good reason.  It should be mentioned that he's chosen not to have any emotional attachment to this child by choice and that though he is her father, he is a stranger to her too.  Push for supervised visitation for a term of not less than 8 weekly visits.  Really.  It can be pointed out that it is not just in the child's best interests but also in the father's.  Talk to your attorney about a guardian ad lidum.  If the father is not current in child support, see if you can defray his visitations until he IS current.  Your attorney should know allllll this and should be able to fight hard on your child's behalf.


He never holds my hand or puts his arm around me but he tells me he still likes me. I always have to make the first move. I talked to him about it but still no change. I don't know if I should keep bringing it up or to wait. I get hints that he tries but he never does.

The reactions of the guys about how showing love are different exactly love is not only holding hands love is care love is not just aword maybe he is having some problems and he dont want to tell you about them Give him achance and good luck for you and him thanks


I just started the South Beach Diet a couple weeks ago but haven't really lost anything... I think I'm stuck on Atkins mode, which I did a couple years ago, and trying to do both at once.  Any hints for people who don't have (or make) time to cook and always seem to be at work, but want to stick with the diet?

Hi... I haven't tried the south beach diet.  but i tried weight watchers.  i lost 20 lbs in 3 months.  and you can eat what you want... its all portion control.  and its healthy.  im a big believer in it, so id try that.  ph... and i started losing within about 2 weeks... they say 2 lbs a week is healthy with that.


I'm afraid that her boyfriend might have alot to do with her decision making, and I just want the best for her, I love her LAS but the choices she makes aren't very smart I just want to help her.

Maybe she is depressed or doesnt feel confident about going 2 school dont pressure her just see first what the root of the problem may be... and remind her how much u love her and believe in her... and set a good example in things u do by making good choices... u never know she might just need some time to get herself together... some people just cant do the school thing but have her check with school officials there are other options... in our school district we have an alternative school... more relaxed atmosphere and no homework... they do all their work 2gether in a smaller classroom group... we also have a high school supported program where they can get their GED and still walk across the stage with peers... just be a friend that is all u can do... good luck

Do not include references, but include a not indicating 'References will be furnished upon request.'\n\nWhat type of job are you looking for?  I suggest that you adjust your resume to be focused on the type of job that you are seeking.   Your resume looks very good if you are seeking something similar to what you currently have.

Let's face it, a large proportion of the public revere Hollywood. At one level, its probably not so disquieting, if they set a trend for fashion, maybe I could also live with the fact they drive popularity for particular baby names. However, when Hollywood Stars start to speak out on social issues, the war, the economy, why do they get so much attention? Why do we assume the have more valid opinions than others? In some ways they would appear to be less qualified.

So TRUE.  Some of these folks haven't even graduated high school, yet they talk freely of what they know nothing about.\n\nHere's why:  \nMany charities and causes want a spokesperson with a famous name.\nMany celebrities want more camera time.\nThere are actually agencies (kind of like an employment agency) that match charities with celebrities.  The charities then hand the celebrity a script and talking points.  The celebrity goes in front of the camera, turn on the water works and there you have it.  \nA match made in heaven.. or should I say purgatory?

I am taking my 76 yr. old father to see The Masters Golf tournament and am wondering what are the biggest issues I'll have to deal with. I've already got a hotel, tickets, and a car. What do I need to know? Anyone been there and have advice?

if i were you, i wouldn't drive, they have buses that will take people to the tournament because it is a pain in the ass to try to park


that a guy is interested in you more than just physical? What are the physical attraction signs and what are the "want to start a relationship" signs?

he will act interested in what you have to say, maintain eye contact when you guys have a conversation, and ask alot of questions about you and what you are doing this weekend. he will walk you to class and pretty much act like a friend. those are the signs of a guy who wants a relationship. \nif a guy is just physicaly attracted, he will only flirt, compliment you, tease you, and you will sometimes catch him staring at you from a distance. BUT physical attractions will (sometimes) later turn into more, when he starts wanting to be around you more, talk to you more, ect...


Years ago, my parents bought a building that used to be an old beatles bar. In the bar, they found TONs of original vinyls, LP, whatever. Along with this, posters, signed headshot, I mean TONS of paraphenelia.  How do I find out how much this collection is worth?

i would like to know what you mean by Beatles bar.  you know if you get to know how much that stuff is worth.  you can sell it at a beatles convention and people would be willing to pay any price for that kind of stuff if it good.  i've been going to beatles con.s for about 11 years now and i would highly recomend that idea.   if you want to talk more about the convention, my E-mail is boothster84@yahoo.com .  i would be more then happy to help you out.  i don't want you to get scerwed.\n\nP.S. i can mostlikly give you and idea of the prices of the LP's and posters beacause, well, i'm a major Beatles fan.  send me a e-mail and i would be glad to help as much as i could.  Thanks


Do you think porn should able to be placed on the inter net if so why?

No, it's another way to degrade women and to make us feel we need to get boob jobs and what not.  It's just way too accessible.  I'm all for free speech and all that sort of stuff (I'm a die hard Democrat), but I think it deserves SOME regulation.  It's gotten out of hand.


My nephew (16) needs help with the new writing section of the SAT. Can anyone reccommend a good tutor?

If you are looking for a good tutor for SAT tutoring in the Atlanta area, which I surmise from your yahoo id, I reccommend "Atlanta Tutors." My daughter received tutoring for the Reading and Writing sections of the SAT from one of their tutors and her score went up quite a bit. The tutor had a degree from Berkeley and is a PhD student at Emory, so he was very qualified and professional. He had a number of useful strategies for the essay section. Their website is http://www.atlantatutors.net

Unfortunately, this is how many, many relationships fail. The best thing to do, (if you want to save your relationship) is to be spontanious. Don't let things turn stagnant, because it gets boring, and one or the other of you will look elsewhere for something exciting.

Some rumours say it can make you go blind, give you forms of cancer others just say its a waste of time. Please enlighten me as to the dangers.

Depends on who you ask. In some religious circles, it's considered sinful. Many psychologists, doctors, and researchers say it helps relieve tension. No medical research has proved any link to mastrubation and blindness. A recent bit of medical research indicated that it may help prevent prostate cancer. In the end, it's what you are willing to believe, I suppose


How many years ago did Baden become a Grand Duchy and Wurttemberge Kingdom.?

It became the much-enlarged Grand Duchy of Baden, a sovereign country, through the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1803-1806.\n\nAfter World War II in 1945, the French military government created the State of Baden with Freiburg im Breisgau as capital out of the southern half of the former Baden. The northern half combined with northern Württemberg was part of the American military zone and formed the State of Württemberg-Baden.

I'm learning about this in school but I can't seem to grab the concept. Can someone explain to me as clearly and simple as you can what it is.

HI! I can help! Linking verbs join a noun or pronoun to wirds that describe its state of being.  Linking verbs tell what is or what was, in many cases using some form of the verb to be.  All forms of to be are linking verbs. ( am, is, are, was,were, be being, been.  Other verbs can be ling verbs if they describe a state of being rather than action performed by a noun.  Whenever you can substitue a form of "to be" for the verb in a sentence, that verb is a linking verb.  Here are some examples of words that may be action words or may describe a state of being, depending on the sentence. ( appear, become, feel, grow, keep, look, prove, remain,seen, smell, sound, taste.).  Once again, the classification of a word depends on the way it is used in a sentence.  That's why it is so important to understand the structure of sentences.  You may have heard someone talk about words "in context".  In order to fully understand the meaning of a word, you may need to hear it used in the context of a sentence.  I hope this helps, if you need more let me know. Good luck!


you like a man , and you start as friends , but later you had strange feelings about him , how to express it to him , and how to avoid bad setuation with him , like we are just friends and so ,

You can joke around with him one day and tell him how you feel. If he has a look of confusion or disgust, then tell him you were kidding. The only other way is to talk to him. Just let him know you still want to be friends if he doesn't care for you like that, it's just something you need to know.


There is a debate between myself and another person that flash flooding is aggravated by previous drought.  I know the basic causes, I just would like to know whether or not drought is usually a major factor.

Flash floods occur whenever water enters into an area faster than it can be absorbed or drained.\n\nSometimes flash floods occur far away from where the actual rain falls, for example up river, and so can truly cause inhabitants to be surprised.


Does anyone know of a great attorney in Jacksonville, Florida who can handle a Circuit Criminal case? He needs to be able to get the situation handled without my b/f having to appear for court. We dont have the money due to financial hardship and cant afford for him to be without work. We can pay the fines for the court costs and stuff but he need his probation to be in the state we live in. Can anyone help?

Your best bet is to get on the net and google a law firm.\nCall them up and see if you can get a free phone consolation (sp?). Or take a chance with a public Defender.\n\n Transfering probation is usaully pretty easy unless he is flight risk.\n\nHe would need to have a resadence and a job in the state he wishes to transfer.


He is so cool (the 8th grader) and my dream is to be best friends with him

There isn't any age limit for friendship. If you believe this person is truely a great person and he doesn't mind being your friend either, then there's nothing stopping you. Just be aware that some of the activities he wants to do might bore you or vice versa. Everything should work out alright, though.


i understand that you have a virus/bacteria etc etc,\n\nbut what does the body hope to achieve by flooding your sinuses and nose with -for a lack of a better term- "snot"?

With Roddick out and Federer struggling against Haas, I'm going to take my second favorite dark horse... That's right, Davydenko (second to Nalbandian...). On the women's side, I think it's about time Davenport actually won a grand slam final. What do you think?

On the women, Clijsters v. Davenport on the final...I don't know who'll win. On the men: the genius Roger.


In light of another student bringing a gun (even though it turned out to be a pellet gun) to school, do you think American will have to turn to this?  School violence continues to rise and is this a way to curb this violence?

Sadly, I think that in all urban areas, they should do this. But, this just dosen't happen in cities, it's starting to happen in suburbia as well. I think that it is up to the school itself. If you know you're in an area where there is a rapid growth of gangs or gang-like activities, then it should be a no brainer. As for suburban area schools, I think that a medal detector may be a little too much but that they should have at least a couple of guards on hand. Just in case. In five years, I predict that a fourth of America's schools won't have medal detectors of any kind. Because that's how bad it is going to get. Sad.


i like her and she does me. it is best just to tell her in her face and get things moving faster, or should i wait, flirt a little while and hope that thing will happen naturally ?

yes personally i like oepn and direct guys because you always know where you stand.  It means that they know what they want and aren't afraid to go after it.  Now there is a very thin line between open/direct and Arrogant/hurtful...so as long as the guy isn't out to one up somebody....open and direct is the way to go...less games

he says he doesnt want a relationship and thats cool because thats not necesarily what im looking for either but ive never done this before so im not exactly sure how to do this whole no relation ship thing i never call him we only text because im kinda scared to call him not sure how he will react i mean even if i do call him what do i say? what questions do i ask? how do i start a conversation?

tell him what you do want, and keep the conversation going from there.


a question not even 30 minutes ago. It had already been removed!!! I know a lot of people ask this question, but why was it removed???

You should receive an e-mail from yahoo beta telling you why it was removed.  I think that is the way it works.  I'm fairly new on here though, so I might not be right.  They shouldn't be able to delete your question w/out letting you know why.  I'm on now.  What's your question?   I read your question and I don't see anything wrong with it.  However, it might have been interpreted to someone on BETA as a Proposition or solicitation.  Who knows, but there are all sorts of people on here so you never know what they're thinking.  It is never wrong to appologize.  Good luck, maybe he'll see it on this question. Or maybe it was him who reported as abuse?!

a US born citizen: never paid or filed; a person never asked for any type of social help; never used the or abused the resources of the US. would it be a first if he began to file and pay income tax at 65? in affect the reverse of retirement would then apply. is there a form for that?

The 100 Senators are, individually and collectively, so predicably boring, plodding, illogical, politically motivated and long winded --they are an embarassment to themselves and the government process.

yeah like I was saying he says he wont sign the divorce papers until I lift it because we need to be able to talk one on one about the kids and stuff. Should I lift it?

What he is doing is another tactic of power and control. If he wants to talk about the children, one of you can contact a local mediation program. Maybe your local YMCA has one or a nonprofit. Contact legal aid or the program that assisted you with the restraining order and ask if they know how you can get a divorce without him signing. Many times they have attnys that do pro bono work for woman in abuse cases.\nThere are times once the restraining is droped/ or the woman starts talking to her partner when the order is still in place that the abuser becomes even more abusive. So then the courts realy step in and the mother is realy questioned about can she provide a safe home. And the mother then has custody issues with the state. We are dammed if we do. Or dammed if we don't. When we suddenly are separarted from our partner, after loving him for so long and having children together etc. Being alone is scary. When we were with him we knew what to expect. The beatings the dirty words etc. But when alone we are unsure. So please find a support group through a woman's program. They will respect and understand your fears. It isn't worth having CPS or another state agency in your bussiness. But if he realy hurts you this time and you die who would protect the kids?\n Stay strong, you can make it!

I am almost 21 years old and I feel the world on my shoulders but is it because i put it there. I strugle with relationships with friends and sisters that Idid not grow up with and a boyfriend who does not feel that i reciporcate his love because i do not show it. I work 38 hours a week at a retail store as store manager trying to prove myself constantly because i am a female and a young female nad for some reason people precieve me as stupid? I am in my third year at john jay finishing a bacholers degree that has nothing to do with retail which i've been working for the past five years. So in order to prepare myself for a career after college i am trying to didcate myself nad time to a volunteer postion at least four hours a week. Not to mention be a good role model for my father less brother and a loving and supportive daughter to my mother who many times depened on me finiacilly and for stability. Am i in over my head ? Did i put the world on my shoulders? if so how do i get it off?

While you have a lot on your shoulders too much can only be defined by you.  Prioritize what is most important to you and make that happen not matter what.  \nYou seem to be tough enough to handle life without the extra baggage of a needy boyfriend, I would also say it is time to figure out if you think he may be the person you spend the rest of your life with and if he is, he needs to be able to understand you which may mean not as much affection as he may desire.


I Need cheats for soc.std. socail studies.

you could try with mnemonic sequences, or subdividing your information into a fixed format. You might try concentrating on visual memory or auditory memory. When you listen to a song you like, you might not know how the lyrics go together until you are there singing it, and have your memory of it guide you automatically.\n\nHowever the best method to learn permanently is to understand the concepts, this may also apply to memory work. If you understand how the pieces of your puzzle fit together you will come up with the correct answer.

i noticed that i would get up really early for an early shift at work (ie- when i absolutely had to be there or else bad consequences)and had a hard time rousing myself other times when it was something i wanted to do for me.  try multiple... i mean MULTIPLE loud alarms 4 minutes apart.  it gave me the sense of being bugged to get up urgently.  also having a light on in the house helps, like the bathroom light that you can see from bedroom door.  once up and moving i'm not too bad.... and think of a treat you'd get up for, like a good coffee, shower, going out for breaky.  it took me 6-12 months to be good in the mornings... but i guess the main thing is that i decided i had a life i wanted to live, not sleep through.  and yes, there is much to do, and i tell myself if i'm really that tired, i can take a break and a quick catnap later on.... but i seldom need it.   also getting fitter and healthier helped, ensuring i do at least 150mins of cardio a week ( and that used to sound impossible to me), and make sure you do get a good night's sleep at least 5 nights a week.  don't stuff sleep around... it really is sooooo important and undervalued.  don't motivate yourself with things you HAVE to do...what are you doing them for? to create a life you love? to make your life easier?to make you happier? "because you have to" or to please others is enough to keep anyone from getting up and starting their day.  remind yourself that you really WANT to get up and be active. upon waking, tell yourself you reaaly LOVE your life... and fake it until you make it.  good luck.


my teacher say to give saminar on healt maintenance plzzz give me some data abt health or any use full link\nand its argent

Do I understand that your teacher wants YOU to give a seminar on health maintenance on 4/2/06? If so, try your textbooks first. That's usually the most accessible source of information. Next, check with the library on books about health maintenance. You can also use internet for information but be careful about using credible, trustworthy sites. This will actually be better than asking someone to just give you the info. When I was in college, we had to cite our sources. I don't think it would go over very well if you had to cite Yahoo Answers for your source.


They suspended 4 Illinois pharmacists for refusing to dispence this pill.\n\nhttp://msnbc.msn.com/id/11076621/

Morining after pill - IF it is truly the morning after. \nPrevention - Yes, let's be responsible.\nAbortion - I think it's wrong, but that's up to each woman to decide (and I'm not a woman).\n\nAs far as the pharmacists go, the suspensions are just. That is their job - to dispense medications. If they cannot or will not do their job, they deserve to be suspended.


on line data entry and email processing focusing onsuch bussiness

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.  Looks like they charge you a "registration" fee, then never get back to you.

Right around the corner is one of the best.  The Rutgers School of Pharmacy in New Brunswick is excellent.


Please explain to me what the final QL episode was about.  It aired many years ago and I saw it twice but can't understand it.  Who was the bartender?  Who were the other "Leapers"?  Is there anywhere to get an official answer and not just another opinion on what it was about?

According to the website listed below, this is a theory about the final episode:\n\nHi there. Apparently the last few scenes of the episode were written two ways, because at the time it was not determined that the show was cancelled. When it was, the ending showed that Sam had the ability to leap home all along, he only had to will it. What was keeping him from doing so was the realization that the one person he needed to help was Al (he had refused to tell Beth in an earlier episode that Al was alive in Vietnam, so she married somebody else). So, Sam wills himself to that scene and tells Beth. Beth doesn't remarry, and at the end of the show it is explained that Al and Beth had four children and stayed married for nearly forty years, and that Sam never returned home. \n\nIt was never determined why Sam didn't come home. There have been rumors that either the show would be revived or a movie would be made for closure, but that's not certain. \n\nhttp://experts.about.com/q/Quantum-Leap-1111/Quantum-Leap-final-episode.htm


Looking for a tool to do a reasonable first past at conversion. All the tools I've seen so far make a mess of tables - I'm particularly interested in a way of automating the conversion of data tables.

Adobe never designed Acrobat to be a source format, so it can be difficult extracting data from them. I routinely do this to get information into Microsoft word, and no matter what I try, it usually messes up the tables at least a little, if not a lot.\n\nThere are 3 main tools I use. If you have Acrobat Professional, you can select "save as word file" and it will save the document as a word file... usually with messed up margins, columns, etc.\n\nYou can also use a program caled PDF 2 Office, whisch makes the same kind of conversion. Sometimes the tables come out better, sometimes not.\n\nThe last resort is using OmniPage or other OCR software. This is the only way if the PDF was created from a scan and not from a text file. The advantage of this one is that it handles tables better in most cases, at least keeping the majority of the data organized correctly. Sometimes it will misinterpret things like merged cells or divide a cell in half, but all the data should be in the correct location. The advantage of this is that your table is more visually accurate, the disadvantage for me is that when I take that to use in my document, some extensive cleanup work is required to make it meet our company standards. how well it works will depend on the size and complexity of your tables.\n\nOne other option to consider is Adobe Illustrator. It opens created (as opposed to scanned) PDFs beautifully. The downside is that it was never designed to output html. You will be able to access all the data and to have all the formatting retained virtually perfectly though. How to get it out of Illustrator into html though..  that would be your problem. I know you can output as SVG, but I suspect that you would prefer not to have your tables handled like graphics.\n\nPersonally I think OmniPage is your best bet. Once you have the table in Word, you can save as HTML and make further edits and adjustments from there.


i want ur opinion on who you think the best guitar player AND the best guitar to play on in the world is

dose this have any thing to do with the bible

But how about Islamic state, the abassade age for about 500 years, they ruled large state from Baghdad which is very close to babylon and they were anti-christ definitely, do you think? I m still studying bible, so I don't know the whole story. mavbe I'm wrong.   in shiite beliefs, my former beliefs, they expect a man to come and rule the world from Iraq, it seems this taken from bible, but Muslism think that the one who will rule from Babylon is the good one ):


I need to do a reseach report on stunamis but can't find information

A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and large meteorite impacts all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to devastating.\n\nThe term tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour ("tsu", 津) and wave ("nami", 波 or 浪). Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singular and plural, in English tsunamis is well-established as the plural. The term was created by fishermen who returned to port to find the area surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water. A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometres long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing "hump" in the ocean.\n\nTsunamis have been historically referred to as tidal waves because as they approach land they take on the characteristics of a violent onrushing tide rather than the sort of cresting waves that are formed by wind action upon the ocean (with which people are more familiar). However, since they are not actually related to tides the term is considered misleading and its usage is discouraged by oceanographers.

For an experiment, we need sea water, but unfortunately we don't have access to it at the moment. How can I make a passable reproduction of seawater using simple chemicals that are easy to find? The data is due soon, and it would be a bonus if I can make it entirely out of household items.

Use the same product you use to simulate ocean water in a marine aquarium. Instant Ocean is a commonly used product.

I've been a member for almost a month now - haven't done my first weigh-in yet, but I can't tell any difference as far as clothes being looser, etc. I'm starting to wonder if 30 minutes, 3 times per week (coupled with eating smarter) is really enough.

To really lose weight, you have to work out more than 3 times a week and eat right.  The three days a week thing with Curves is for people that are already at their desired weight.  I belonged to curves for about a year - along with their recommended eating plan (low carb), I did lose about 22 lbs.  I enjoyed going because it was a pretty easy work out but quit cause I moved.  I do prefer Weight Watchers (more realistic eating plan) and working out approx 5 days a week.


Fan Michael Axelrod do you think he has a case? From looking at the video Kendra Davis did not look to have hurt him just invaded personal space and was kind of annoying him, but is that enough for a million dollar lawsuit? If it wasn't a NBA player would he had file a lawsuit? Yes a riot could have started but it didn't do you think the lawsuit will hold up in court or should Davis just be fined and the rest drop?

No question! I would have broke my neck to get up in the stands. I'm a sports reporter here in atlanta and i applaude his actions. it was his wife!As far as the fan, no case. Dude never laid a finger on him!


Turkey has a similar relationship with the EU as Mexico does to the US.  The EU is seriously considering integrating Turkey into the EU which would eventually result in an integrated job market etc.  The US is encouraging this.\nWhy doesn't the US consider making the same arrangement with Mexico?

There is nothing wrong with it, it could easily be worked out.  But racism won't allow it.


What types of flirting do guys like best?  Do they like girls who are always flirting, or only do it once in a while?  When you see a girl flirt, what catches your attention?

be aggressive, B-E aggressive. Don't flirt with everyone, or else they will think you are a whore. And for gods sakes, buy a guy a drink every once in a while. Why are we afraid to talk to girls?  Maybe it's because we know we are going to pay $10 for your drink, and then get a fake phone number.


We separated 3 days ago when she said she needed time to herself to figure out what she wanted. We still live in the same house for financial reasons. Should I try to convince her that we are better together just because that's what I want, or should I just sit here and hope that everything turns out all right? I still love my wife, but she is hurting me with all of this. Any suggestions?

How long have you been married?  From a women's point view you def. need to talk with your wife, tell her your hopes and dreams for your marriage, let her know you still care and that you'll be there for her.  Why? Because you still love her.  But let her decide what she wants.  She said she needs time, give it to her, but don't lose touch with her.

i had this since my teens. long long years ago. i was only 24 inches that time.

Yeah, cocoa butter and Vitamin E.  Palmers makes a formula especially designed to help heal stretch marks.  Just remember that these products must be used several times a day for several months before you see results.


your parents and thier parents are your ancestors.. Beyond that, there is little you can do to accurately trace your lineage. Names, throughout history, have been basterdized and adopted without reason. You can trace your name to a certain region and maybe even a certain family tree, but you can't be certain that they are trully your relatives.  Legal papers, back in the day, were very easy to fudge. My own grandmother is written as her uncle's child.. In legal papers, my great-grandmother never had any children.  Imagine further back, how messed up the tree gets.\nIn other words: cherish the people who will one day be gone and keep accurate records, so that down the line, your descendants will know exactly who YOU were.

Me and my girlfriend dated for about six months, but because my girlfriend became extremely nervous about being close to me (afraid of making out/sexuality), we broke up because she became removed. Now that the pressure is off, we seem to have a better relationship than ever, and we aren't even interested in dating anybody else. We are both eachother's firsts (not sex, obviously), and we have been through arguements, periods of silence, seperation, and everything in between, and we seem to be working, but i'm nervous. Was I supposed to just get over her? Is not working out once mean I should just move on? Is it love that's keeping me from forgetting about her, or is it just emotional obsession tied to us being eachother's first partners?

Well you obviously love her, if not as a lover then surely as a friend.  The relief from not having to perform the act is quite common. \n\nActually, now that the pressure is off is the best time to determine exactly how you feel for each other. When she said its not working out means exactly that. The relationship as lovers/BFs is not what it should be or wants it to be. Let time pass on this. So you're not interested in other girls. So what? You don't have to be right now. Give it some time, a few months. See if your first GF still captures your thoughts as intensely then as they do now. Seeing other girls now would only confuse you more.

Not in a general sense, but very specifically...\n\nHow prepared is Citigroup in the event of an avian flu pandemic in regards to business continuity, IT, medical and other policies?

I know that after 9/11, Citigroup was part of a larger group of financial leaders and financial agencies (like the SEC) that spent a lot of time on business continuity and financial market continuity in the event of a disaster.  I know I saw some reports at some point regarding this but I don't remember where right now.  Generally, as being part of this group, I would expect that they are better prepared than most - atleast on the business and market continuity side.


They always say freedom.But only they have freedom. Not interesting ?

Freedom in the USA is (in my opinion) a joke.  We go into other countries to give them what we have but i dont think we really have it to begin with.  Blacks still get dicrimminated against. So do gays and people from the middle east.  It took us how long to give women and blacks the rights that they have?  I sit here in Europe (on vaycay) and I see such a huge difference in freedoms.  Its astonishing really.  In my eyes if you are rich you got all the freedom you want... if you fall short your screwed.  I come from a middle class family.  We had to work to get what we wanted, we arent rich.  and i dont feel we got the same freedoms and treatments that money would normally give others.  Just my opinion.


Sometimes when i use the bathroom and i excrete (# 2) i see bleeding when i whipe...it hurts to come out, so i really dont't know if i'm bleeding because of the pain or what? what could this be???? HELP

Well my dear,If you are constantly constipated and not on a healthy diet,the situation you describe could be haemorrhoids..Whilst trying to evacuate,by being constipated,your blood vessels close to the anal sphincter are being stretched to the maximum and therefore,if you continue being constipated,they possibly could break open and there you have what you have describing..Visit a doctor and get him to sort you out.If you do not see a doctor,I'm afraid the problem will escalate and get really really bad and you may need surgery.Better see him soon to get rid of this situation..Hurry n get better...Take good care of yaself and Best wishes

Personally, I just start having a really loud conversation with whoever is with me about a gross topic, like my rampant toe fungus, and the cell phone yeller usually moves away. How do others handle this?

A friend of my secretary did something VERY funny:\n\nHe was on a train with a man who insisted on speaking very loudly on his cellphone. While on the phone, he spoke with his wife, his daughter, and his internet service provider. So, her friend began writing...first, he wrote down the man's wife's name. Then when he called his daughter, he wrote her name down. Then he called his Internet service provider, and in the course of the conversation, the man (loudly) divulged his name, home address, and screen name.\n\nSo a few days later, the man would have received a post card in the mail that said..."Your name is (blank), your wife's name is (blank), your daughter is (blank), and your AOL screen name is (blank). Next time be considerate of others while talking on your cell phone on the train. Have a nice day.


In 1899, Marconi made headlines by contracting with the New York herald and the evening telegram to provide up-to-the minute coverage of the America’s cup yacht race, and was extremely successful. However, when they tried out the same transmission with 2 other groups in 1901, no one was able to receive intelligible signals, and the race results had to be reported the old way. Investigate the reasons for their failure. Suggest any improvement if you were to do the same experiment again.

may be the frequencies were set differently, or one device was defective (or both), or maybe a building was in the way, or the signal was weak (due to distance)

Bonus, what items should it contain and why?\nmilitary trivia

According to www.military-net.com, the ball on top is called a TRUK it represents the shot fired 19th April 1775 fired at Lexington Mass. \n\nThere are some myths about ornaments used at the head of a flag pole. Some crazies started a myth in the 1950s that the round ball commonly found on the head of outdoor flag poles in the United States contained a razor, lighter, or flare to be used in the event of a Soviet takeover to destroy the flag. This is of course sheer fantasy. The balls were in use long before there was a Cold War. Besides that, getting at the ball would have required considerable effort. Another myth is that the flat headed finials were designed to provide landing guidance for Alien space vehicles. The fact that those caps had been used long before Alien vehicles were contemplated is explained by saying that individual aliens were commonly sent ahead of the main wave by several generations so that humans wouldn't think any thing unusual about flat headed flag poles. \nPhil Abbey, 7 October 1998 \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOne myth, apparently created during the Cold War, is that the ball at the top of a U.S. flagpole contains three items, all intended to keep the communists from capturing the flag. These are most commonly said to be a razor blade (to cut the flag from the halyards), a match (to light it), and a bullet (to shoot the attackers).\n\nAlthough this is absurd on the face of it, there seems to be no end to the line of morons who believe it. I'm not calling anyone else who questions this myth a moron -- they're to be applauded for having the good sense to question it. It's those who believe it without questioning it that need to be put away. So the following points are intended for use by those who are confronted with this idiocy in answering the true believers:\n\nThere have been balls on flagpoles for centuries, long before there were communists or, for that matter, self-contained bullets or friction matches. They're there because someone discovered that flagpoles look better with a ball on top. (No, not to keep birds from perching--birds have no trouble at all perching on the ball on a flagpole.) \nIf you want to destroy the flag, why not just lower it by the halyards the normal way and use materials readily available on the ground to destroy it, or better yet take it with you? As opposed to trying to cut it apart and burn it while hanging from the top of the pole like a monkey. \nOK, so you don't want to lower the flag because that would signify surrender. How on earth would you retrieve what's in the ball in the face of an enemy assault? Assuming you don't have a ladder(if you do, why can't you find some matches?), there are only two ways up -- climb the pole or have oneself hoisted up on the halyard. Maybe a professional acrobat could do the former, given time; we're talking about shinnying up a smooth metal pole or pulling yourself up a narrow rope 50 feet (15 meters) or higher, all with enemy troops shooting at you. \nLet's suppose you're going up by being hoisted on the halyard. As you do that, the flag comes down--whoops, you've just surrendered. Anyway, the flag is now at ground level, so your friends can detach it using the clips and escape with it or destroy it as described above. You don't have any friends on the ground? Then how did you get to the top of the pole? Just try pulling yourself up a flagpole some time and see how easy that is. \nWhy the bullet? Are your friends on the ground just standing around watching, or are they fighting back? Oh, right, you're all alone and you're a world-class gymnast who can just climb up the pole or halyard 50 feet or more under fire. OK, well then, if you have a gun with you (that coincidentally is of the right caliber for the bullet), why didn't you load it before you started up? And a single bullet to deal with the Red h

He calls and bugs her at work asking what she's doin twice a day, he then accuse her of messing around even though she's not, but she has proof that he's at home online trying to meet with other women while she's @ work. When she ask if he's look for work , he'll get REALLY pissed at her, she's the one paying the bills and he has the nerve to get PISSED when the money runs low after the bills havae been paid.\nWhile at home he'll also go out rent movies, go to the movies, and play games on the PC, when she wants to hangout with her friends every other week, he'll get PISSED, they've had many fights over money and him looking for work to help out( which is greatly need) the other night she went out with friends and he kept calling her cellphone asking  if guys trying to pick her up and if she's coming straight home after. She's tried to hang in there but it's gotten to a point 2 give up

braquasun is right. perhaps the more appropriate question is why have you put up with this for so long?


Im stationed in England and have no connections with my TV to see the game today.  Is there a way i can watch or listen to it online, thats cheep/free?

You can through nfl.com, but it looks like you will have to pay for it.

I a like to use segments of movies as illustrations in my sermons using PowerPoint.  I want to be able to cut segments not whole chapters and save as mpeg. Please how do i do this effectively.

This is not as easy as it should be.  For copyrighted movies, you will need to decrypt it which is probably illegal in the US despite what sounds like a fair use from your description (ask your lawyer).  As to the how...for tools and faqs and walkthroughs go to doom9.org and afterdawn.com.  mpeg2 isn't as popular as mpeg4/divx...it may be that either would work for your purposes so you might want to look at other formats.


Does Music That We listen to every day affect how we act and what we do?

Sadly, the struggle of Nature-vs-Nurture has to come into effect with this particular question.  Firstly, not everyone will agree with everything, but I’m going to say it anyway:\nMy sister was a sweet child.  Years ago she came across some rap music.  After that, she was never the same.  She began to act out in classrooms, and her attitude was always ugly.  Me on the other hand, I listen to rap music and it has no effect on me whatsoever- except I loathe the degradation of women.  \nIf one's mind is strong enough to deal with the complexities of music and use it for the betterment, then that one can listen to violence and be quite sane and logical, and unchanging.  However, there are some who feel that they are not getting enough attention, so they often let their minds get tainted by the mediocrity of society as well as other things.\nThis new generation of children is susceptible to most anything, and that saddens me.  People let things influence them based on rearing.  Also (as previously stated), if someone wants attention or feel like something is missing, music will change him or her.  Sometimes, it can be for the better.  Alicia Keys' "Troubles" from the album "Songs In A Minor", can help a person to hang on to hope, and to live. \nFinally, it always depends on how you perceive a situation.  Perception is the key to everything.  But always give things the benefit of the doubt and put yourself in those shoes before you judge!

The cartoon Gummi bears and piranha gave me nightmares... so did the chipmunks movie with the wild boar...

For some reasons, I used to have nightmares that the headboard on my bed would come to life (if would have these teo cold looking beady eyes that sometimes glowed) and it would attack me, usually stinging me in the neck.  I would try to run away but it would send out some type of force where I could only run so far and no more, and I couldn't scream either.\n\nI used to wake up crying hysterically sometimes because of it.


I always hear people say they like Europeans more? I mean we're all human, what's the diff? (besides culture and heritage).

Well I have been to Europe and all over the US yet I must say there is something that just gets me going about the exotic looking Euro Females. And for those of you who think they are no different bullshit..I spend over a month every summer in Europe and in americas you do not see girls walking around all day every day with see through shirt and pants..They also have a very very high rate of non Obeisity there. Go see for yourself very skinny girls which I love because I am skinny and they are freaks in bed too. They love to please their man.Its there culture
