Does the Pope realize this is a novel of fiction-or is there truth behind it and the Catholic Church is afraid it will be revealed or question the believers of Catholicsm or other related religions?  I do not see how this can be sacrilegious. It's only a book/movie.

Apparently, we share the same problem. The problem of how to treat this book - as a fiction or as a fact. However, it is a fact that some people, after reading this book, started attending church or became even more religious. It would seem that the Pope has not heard about those people. \nThe Catholic Church has always been against anything that would make it look bad in the eyes of its weaker followers. The Church was a supporter of ancient knowledge, which was gradually deconstructed by scientists. Why was the reason for the Inquisition to treat as threatening some great scientists from the Renaissance period like Da Vinci or Galilei? \nAs I say it, treat it like a fictional book/movie. If you want to learn more, try and comfront the book with the Bible and/or any other writings. There is another book, I don't know how it is called in English, but it would sound something like "Breaking the Da Vinci Code".\nEnjoy the movie... It comes out on the 19th of May.\n\nPS: how would you feel if you break a request from a religious leader (the Pope) who doesn't even know you? let's make a bet: he will have a private copy of the movie, by the time it gets on the big screen.

Reformat a CD-R disc, not CD-RW or DVD-RW discs.

CD-R, DVD+R and DVD-R discs are physically incapable of being erased.  Try as you might to erase them, once the dye on their surface is etched into by the laser of your CD drive, it is impossible to return this type of CD to its orginal condition unless you were to somehow resurface the entire disc like they do at the factory where it was originally manufactured.  Rewritable CDs use a different type of ink on their surface and a shallower groove, making them eraseable.


I work 9 hrs a day and have 3 kids, and am in complete culture shock. what do I do. the people here are nothing like the ones I am used to

Talk to your neighboors, go clubing, have a party , have a block party, go to a coffee shop talk to the moms at your kids school, talk to co-workers there lots of things you could to try some !


Please Read: This question has to do with people who do not respect people who are religious/spiritual and their beliefs.\n\nI have noticed a few people on Yahoo Answers who do not respect people who give an answer that mentions God or something pertaining to that subject.\n\nPeople who have a relationship with God have a right to voice their opinions too, not to respect that is not worthy of asking a question. It also shows a high level of immaturity to attack that person if they have not provoked trouble.\n\nHas this happened to you?  It hasn't happened to me, I pitty the fool who'd try!

I'm a Christian, and I agree with you. I think that if there is no judgement or condemnation in the answer, and if the answer is relevant to the question, there should be no problem. I have gotten rude comments from some of those who are non-religious, but only in the site. \n\nHowever, there is another side to the coin. The sad fact is that the only e-mails I have gotten that were rude and uncalled for were from other Christians, and I've also had other Christians behave rudely on the site. \n\nSeems that some people from all worldviews need to mind their manners now and then.

Does anyone know of a course in Ontario that offers Landscape Design in less than a year and is a recognized course?  I don't want to do the manual work (getting to old for that).  I would like to design gardens with the computer.

hogwash cloothe.  You get out there and pound the ground and you will find small jobs, some one who will take a chance on your personality and great ideas. There are places on the net to get what you need.  Buy a landscaping software program and learn it inside and out.  Go to the library and read everything you can get your hands on.  Those small jobs will turn into references for bigger jobs and bigger jobs.  Believe me, a buddy and me did the same thing with stone working and landscaping, and begged, borrowed and stole to get jobs and now my partner is doing VERY well.  Our first job, we lost money on cause we had to go home every night and read up on the new mistakes we ran into that day, but we finished the job and it was award winning quality.  We lost money on THAT job but the experience we gained gave us all kinds of exposure and confidence.  You can do it and great luck to you!  Do NOT give up and do NOT listen to downers like cloothe who think the only way to make it in this world is to give your money away to learn when you can learn for free.  You will learn in the same time and in the end you will be making the big bucks just as fast if not sooner.  You are an artist I can tell,  Put your ideas on paper.  That's all you're doing is drawing a yard. You rock on little one.  The dragon knows what he is talking about, I promise you.

Either Marquis De La Place was correct or quantuum mechanics is correct, but either way there is no such thing as choice, or free will, like we humans think there is. What do you all think.

This is an excellent question. If God created life and He is all powerful, why do people go to hell for disobeying his commands? Surely God would create us with a pre-ordained destiny if he is all powerful, hence no freedom of choice. Either God created us to go to hell or he is not all powerful, in which case he is not really God.\n\nAll our decisions are formed by our genetic code and past experiences, it is God who decides this. The laws of nature (including quantum mechanics) are controlled by God. In that sense there is no 'I'. \n\nTherefore, either God does not exist and free will does,\nor God exists and some people were destined from the dawn of time to disobey Him. Which leads us to conclude that if hell really does exist, then it is not the fault of the person but a fault of God that sent him there. He is chastising himself. This again invalidates the law of God being all powerful.\n\nIf freedom of choice does not exist, and God does, then judgement can not. If God doesn't hold judgement over his own creation, he can not be all powerful.\n\nWe must have free choice for God to exist. But God controls the life we have! Its a circular argument.\n\nDoes God not exist, then?\n\nHis ultimate wisdom allows us not to know the truth.

Why is marijuana called "pot"? Where did this term come from?

Scholarly potheads know the derivation of pot is from the Mexican Spanish potiguaya, which are marijuana leaves after their pods have been removed.


See I have this uncle and I was talking with him for the longest time through email and my parents are no longer together and I had to take the big end of the stick and pick up what my mom left off.  I lost (not dead) my mom at a very young age I was 7 and my family consisted of 9 people, 7 children.  My mom quit taking care of me when I was 7 and all the rest when they were 3 because she figured that the older children could take care of the little ones.  So I rasied my little sisters at the age of 8.  I cooked, I washed clothes, cleaned up after them, played with them, and I gave them the best of me I love them so very much.  But you see this uncle of my seems to think that I need to consume more responsibility.  I am very mature I take care of myself and I have been every since I was 8 and I took care of 4 other children at that age of 8, and I am still to this day doing so.  What do you think is my uncle right? Do I need to consume more responsibility? Or do I already have enough??

i don't understand why he'd tell you something like that after all that you've been through! i think you should ask him yourself what he means by that because it's only either he means something else or he really did not understand how much you've been through already


He likes it when i girl is rough and even if i do like it i dont see my self wanting that, not that am shy but cant help it too, cuz it end up getting me wild.

either start taking mega vitamins each mornign or slug back a shot of something befor e sex time.....or both\n\n\n\nor.....bring a couple friends of yours in......ya kow! to take off someof the extra work


My best friend or should i say ex best friend totally betrayed me. Before she haad a boyfriend i would take her every where i was always their for her emotionally and physically (like if she neede a ride somewhere(not sexually)) Me and my husband always fought because he was jelous of her but she had no one but me. Once she got her Boyfriend she stoped calling me ingnored my phone calls because he didn't like me. Now she says she misses me and wants my frindship back should i forgive her or just ignore her like she did to me.

I think that we have all negleted a friendship when a man came into our life.  It sounds like she is the kind of person who has never had a boyfriend, or someone who really cared about her, and she wanted to do anything to hang onto him.  Forgive her, she just wanted someone to love her like your husband loves you.  You will always have a special place in her heart and now she realized that she screwed up by not being around


Anonymous is so right!!! Islam is a great religion and a way of life. People always think Muslims will bomb something or want to rage a jihad against someone. It's not like that. People like that are extremists!!!!!! Everyday Muslims like me are just like any other people. The only thing that separates me from other teens is my religion. Not every Muslim wants to kill and blow up buildings. I am a Muslim who wants to be happy. I want peace, I want to go to college and become a doctor! I want to leave the US and move to England. I want to be happy among Muslims and non Muslims. So don't judge Muslims, not all of us are cold blooded extremists. And why do people pick on Muslims when people of the Christian religion and the Jewish religion and other religions do dirty things too. People just look for some group of people to pick on. It's not fair.

I seem to run into these kinds of matrices frequently.  I'm curious what eigenvalue/vector analysis would mean in this case.  Are there any special properties with this kind of matrix?

At first I thought you were wanting the orthogonal matrices, but your example shows you are not. Orthogonal matrices are those whose inverse is their transpose. Yours are ones where the elements of the transpose are the inverse of the elements of the original.\n\nCertainly such a matrix has to have +-1 on the diagonal. Your matrix is singluar and any 2x2 matrix with your property and all 1 on the diagonal will be also. This means that one eigenvalue is 0 and the other is 2.\n\nI don't see anything special for 3x3 offhand, but I will look further.


Do i need a registered domain name and a hosting company? a program maybe? And how do i find out my ftp details without calling my provider, im with Telstra bigpond.\n\nIn advance Thank you so so much!!!

you can get a free website with yahoo/geocities.  there are plenty others - i'm sure there will be more replies, or you could google for that.  \n\ndifferent site-hosts will have different capabilities for uploading.  in all cases, you'll need a userID and a password.  the connection-parameters are usually available online.  i've developed and uploaded numerous websites to free-hosts and my own domain, and never had to talk to a person on the phone.  even my domain registration was all done online, and they're in australia.\n\nnote that with a free site-host (like geocities) you are usually accepting their advertising on your pages.\n\ngood luck!


Ok here are some pills you can buy at your local health food store that can help: Boron 3mg daily do not exceed this amount, Bromelain take as directed on label 3 times daily, Glucosamine sulfate take as directed on label, Pantothenic acid(vitamin B5) 500-1000 mg daily, primrose oil take as directed on label twice daily be fore meals, sea cucumber take as directed on label, silica as directed,cell guard from Biotec Foods as directed, vitamin E 400 IU daily.Eat alfalfa sprouts it has mineral essential for bone formation, cat's claw(you can buy in pill form or tea bags)is good for relieving pain, fever few(pill or tea)and ginger(fresh is better)is good for pain and soreness. Cayenne pepper is good because the capsaicin in it inhibits the release of substance P(a neurotransmitter responsible for communicating pain sensations.)Capsaicin can be absorb through the skin, buy some wintergreen oil mix with the cayenne and make a paste, apply it to the painful joints. It may sting but with repeated use it will deminish. You can also buy cayenne in pill form.Eat foods like eggs, asparagus, garlic and onions because they contain sulfur. Sulfur is needed for the repair and rebuilding of bone, cartilage and connective tissues also it aids in the absorbtion of calcium. Other good foods are green leafy vegetables which supply vitamin K, fresh vegetables, non-acidic fresh fruits, whole grains like oatmeal, brown rice and fish.Eat foods like rice, wheat and rye these contain histidine. Histidine is good for removing excess metals from the body, many people with arthritis have higher levels of copper and iron in the body. Eat fresh pinapple(good source of bromeline)it's good for reducing inflamation.IT HAS TO BE FRESH!!! Eat some form of fiber like ground flaxseed, oat bran or rice bran daily. Reduce the amount of fat in your diet. Avoid dairy products, red meat, caffeine, citrus fruits, paprika, salt, msg,tobacco and sugar.This is a lot to take in I know this is the life I have to live because of my lupus. If you would like a better understanding of why you should eat and avoid certain foods feel free to e-mail me.

You do need to use another form of birth control if you want to prevent pregnancy.\n\n"Norplant should be removed after seven years — five years for overweight women — because it stops working, and it can cause menstrual irregularities. It can also be removed anytime earlier. The clinician will numb the area with a painkiller and will usually make one small cut to remove all six of the implants. Removal takes up to 30 minutes. Norplant may be more difficult to locate in some women. Removal for them may require more than one visit and/or several incisions. Pregnancy can happen anytime after the implants are removed."\n\nhttp://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/portal/medicalinfo/birthcontrol/pub-birth-control-06.xml\n\nYou can get more information on Norplant at the sites provided.\n\nhttp://www.ivf.com//npt.html\n\n"The Contraceptive Foundation is a nonprofit foundation that has established a Norplant Removal Program aimed at helping uninsured and underinsured women gain access to removal of the Norplant system. Women considering the Contraception Foundation Norplant Removal program should call 1-800-760-9030 to determine if they meet the Contraception Foundation's eligibility criteria."\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/9/2953_525


Hello every body!\nI am trying to make a drop down list box in excel sheet  ( just like "Validation \ List" does in "Data" menu but with more than one column). I.e. i want to drop a value in a cell  from a table source with say 3 columns .( showing me 3 column but could select one of them). Is it possible?\n \nThanks in advance\n \nBahram

Yes, this is possible.  Using the control toolbox toolbar, insert a drop-down combobox.\n\nRight click on the combobox and select Properties.  In the properties box change ColumnCount to "3", and set the field ListFillRange to the 3 column range you want to use.\n\nHowever the return value (LinkedCell) will only be equal to the selected field in the 1st column, unless you change the BoundColumn field to a value like 2 or 3.


just kidding- haha! Why do people ask really dumb questions on here? Sometimes I read them and wonder- how dumb is that! Does anyone else feel this way?

I HAVE INSECURITIES WITH MY PARTNER WHO SAYS I AM THE BEST.MEANING IN PRIVATE BEDROOM STUFF WE DO.WHY DON'T I SEE IT AND WHAT CAN I DO TO SEE WHAT IS SAID IS TRUE?ALSO HOW DO I STOP BEING INSECURE?

You know being a little insecure in the bedroom can be ALOT better than being over confident.  If you don't become paranoid that is.  Pace yourself and awlays imagine what you might be able to do better on, that way you are always wanting to please her, instead of sitting back brimming with arrogence.   However... don't become paranoid... as you will ultimately stress yourself out and risk decreasing stamina and sexual performance.  With your partner telling you that you are the best... take it as a compliment, but dont take it to heart, because god forbid you guys one day spilt, you run the risk of having that one retracted, lol

I know I definitly have them becuase sometimes when I give a good hug to a women I like and I really mean it. I feel a sphere of energy transfer from my stomach to her chest (because I'm 6'3") and when this happens she always either looks or sounds like she just had an orgasm. I guess what I want to know is there a way to control this flow of energy so its on demand instead of just being random.

The flow of energy you are refereeing to is always there. It is all around us all the time.It is great with sex, but is also good just to have. You can tap into it anytime you want to,


The cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not known, but several theories of causality have been advanced. These theories propose genetic, environmental, viral, immunological, biochemical, and other causes for the disease.\nThe specific features of Alzheimer’s disease vary from individual to individual, but the general course of the disease is fairly consistent in most cases. The symptoms of the disease tend to be more severe at night. The first stage of Alzheimer’s disease is usually forgetfulness, accompanied by some anxiety and mild depression. This usually develops into a more serious loss of memory, especially of recent events, moderate spatial and temporal disorientation, loss of ability to concentrate, aphasia, and increased anxiety. This set of symptoms is usually followed by profound spatial and temporal disorientation, delusions, hallucinations, incontinence, general physical decline, and death.\n You may read these books for more information about the disease.\nEdwards, Allen. When Memory Fails. New York: Plenum, 1994.\nGregg, Daphna. Alzheimer’s Disease. Boston: Harvard Medical\nSchool Health Publications, 1994.

Raglan defined 22 points that make someone a hero. The list of them can be found here: http://missy.reimer.com/library/scale.html They don't fit into the 1000 characters I can use here.\n\nJesus fulfills 19 of these 22 points. So I suppose he should be a real hero. The interesting thing is that a lot of the other heros had the exact same attributes (e.g. virgin mother birth, reputed to be the son of God, death on top of a hill, etc). What made Jesus so special over Dionysis, Hercules, Oedipus, Theseus etc...nobody believes in them, even though the same things happened to them (killed on cross or tree, resurrected, could turn water into wine etc etc). How can you be so picky to say Jesus REALLY did all these things though.\n\nNo wonder it was prophecized what would happen, since it happened many times before in mythical folklore!


I'm doing a porject and I need contact information for a dairy farmer/ information about bovine somatotropin in Canada

A dairy farmer is a farmer who specializes in raising dairy cattle, specifically for milk and/or cheese products.\n\nBovine somatotropin (bST), or bovine growth hormone (BGH), is a protein hormone that occurs naturally in the pituitary gland of cattle. It is a factor controlling the amount of milk produced by a dairy cow. Bovine somatotropin is naturally in the milk extracted from a cow.\nContents\n[show]\n\n    * 1 Physiology\n    * 2 Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rbST) and rBGH\n          o 2.1 Related legal actions\n          o 2.2 Politics\n    * 3 See also\n    * 4 References\n    * 5 External references\n\n[edit]\n\nPhysiology\n\nBecause of protein homology, bovine growth hormone (GH) cross-reacts with the receptors of prolactin and placental lactogen — two hormones that stimulate the mammary tissue of a mature lactating cow in good health to produce more milk.\n\nSomatotropin and somatropin both refer to growth hormone (GH), a protein hormone produced by the mammalian anterior pituitary. The genes for GH, the amino acid sequence of the peptides, the receptor genes, and the receptor structures are recognizably homologous, though cross-species differences are significant enough to prevent most cross-species effects (i.e. bST does not "work" in humans).\n\nAlthough bST, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), and other cow hormones can be measured in cow milk, it is thought that the amounts are too small and digestion too complete for them to have any direct effect in humans, and there is no scientifically verifiable difference between the rBST concentration in milk from treated versus untreated cattle.\n[edit]\n\nRecombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rbST) and rBGH\n\nrbST (Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin) or rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is a controversial, genetically engineered version of the Bovine Growth Hormone used for increasing milk production in cows. While it is used in the United States, it is banned in Canada, the EU (The EU has actually taken a stance leaving it up to separate nations. One thing that they did not do is set a "maximum safe amount" of rBST which is actually something that Monsanto is citing in their PR campaign), Australia, and New Zealand.\n\nMonsanto developed a recombinant version of bST (rbST), which goes by the brand name Posilac®. Injected into dairy cattle, the product can increase milk production from 10% up to 40%. In November 1993, the product was approved for use in the U.S. by the FDA, and its use began in February 1994. The product is now sold in all 50 states. According to Monsanto, approximately one third of dairy cattle in the U.S. are injected with Posilac; approximately 13,000 dairy producers use the product. It is now the top selling dairy cattle pharmaceutical product in the U.S. The FDA does not require special labels for products produced from cows given rbST.\n\nHowever, use of the recombinant supplement has been controversial. Many groups claim not enough research has been done into human health effects despite over ten years of large-scale on-farm research before FDA approval, and subsequently these groups claim a possible increased risk of cancers, diabetes, and hypertension in consumers of products from rbST injected cows. Other fears include health problems for the injected cattle, and an economic concern for small farmers due to the increased supply of milk.\n\nUse of rBGH in cows also increases insulin growth factor (IGF-1) in milk. Although IGF-1 is important for normal development, some studies suggest that IGF-1 is involved in the progression of breast, prostate and colorectal cancer.\n\nAccording to Monsanto, milk and meat from cattle supplemented with rbST are safe. Monsanto also states that the only difference between milk from supplemented cattle and unsupplemented cattle is the amount of IGF1 — and that there is not even a difference in the concentration of bST.\n\nIn 1998, a Canadian committee found that while there were no

Although the A's are in a rather large market they are a small market team because of there low income. They have a lot of things working against them. There stadium sucks, they have to share the market with the Giants, and there is a general lack of interest in baseball in Oakland. Those things would all help a team make money if people went to the games but no one goes. They had the 12th worst attendance last year despite having one of the largest stadiums. They also have owners who arent willing to shell out there own money to help the team. Combine that with a crappy tv deal and the A's dont make much money at all. According to Forbes.com they had the 7th lowest revenue in baseball.

my son is dating a girl of his age but triple the knowlege that he has in relationships and sexual contents. she is very forward and contolling they are 17yrs old and she had other while he never been with anybody. Should i intervene or should i stay out of it.

You need to talk to him and warn him about birth control. I would advise you to not say anything about this girl unless he is doing something life threatening or something that could change his life forever. If you have to mention it; do so in a nice way. If you say anything to him that is bad about her it will probably make him want to see her all the more. This relationship is probably one in many he will have during the process of growing up. But just tell him you are there to talk to him if he ever needs anyone to talk to.


third baseman/ catcher\ni want to work on arm speed

First thing you wanna do is work on your shoulders.simple dumb-bell raises-bend arm at elbow lift straight up, another is butterfly exercise, bend at the knees usin dumb-bells, like a butterfly -bring your arms out like your flying, bending your arm. Push ups are good also, working out your triceps. Another good exercise is find a couch, chair, your bed.use the edge of it like your sitting, but move so your hands are behind you on the bed and go up an up raising yourself, that works your triceps. Another good exercise for your wrists use get a string a put a 5lb weight on it, and extend your hands, and rolling up the string using your wrists, then unroll, and repeat. These are some good ones. What will really help is long tossing, build up your arm strenggh. Good luck

Perhaps the preachers and priests are pulling a fast one eh?\n\noh, and three gods in one? what's that about?  father/son/holyghost????  where did the ghostie come from???????\n\nthe only explanation i can really give you is that most people simply listen to other people about who to follow blindly.  I read the bible, and I know that this stuff about praying to jesus is crap, jesus is not god, never was, and he would tell you so if he was here right now.\n\nJesus always admonished his followers to pray to his father, God, he never said "Pray to ME!"

How long before you know someone do you get married to them.

I think you should wait at least a full year before you even start talking about marriage. Any sooner is too damn early. \n\nLove is a feeling. You must realize that this feeling is not something real, something lasting. Your brain secretes chemicals and makes you 'feel' love. This is most common and strongest in the beginning of a relationship. \n\nMarriage is not a feeling. It is a commitment. Not something that is supposed to go away. People get married and divorced all the time. That's not the point to marriage. Granted, there are many reasons people get married, but I think the biggest is the commitment. \n\nIt's very hard to see clearly, or feel truly, the situation before those 'love chemicals' have faded. It's only after, when you know that you still love that person, but the zing has dulled, and you still want to remain committed that it's time to think about marriage.\n\nIf it's right, you can wait a year. Who knows, you might get there and thank your luck charms that you waited and didn't get stuck in an awful marriage. \n\nGet it?


This is for married folks only, and please say how long you've been married.

Well I wouuuuld tell you, but since I have to be married, no answer for you. I live with my bf and we're close enough to married, but noooo, I can't answer.


We only joke about stuff like that.  We are not gay.  The person I work under has hair that comes down to her ears.  She is a woman.  I had friends in highschool who would wear hair about that length.  They were not gay either.  In fact, one of them has a kid.  I think of few of the other guys are married.  I didn't have many girl friends in highschool but I have one now who laughs at all my jokes.

I dont think that means you are gay. But maybe you should sit down and really think about this before jumping into anything you might later regret


do you live in the city or the suburbs? do you give smartly or just to the thieves who pray on niave people?\n\nfrom living in Cleveland for a year now ive come to find that 10 out of 10 homeless people spend that money on liquor. and lots of people have their own little "spots" where they ask for handouts. pepole give money to them thinking they are doing a good thing but all they are really doing is encouraging bums to keep on begging. what do you think?

No I feel that if they really want money they can work like I have to


I think you're an excellent weight. You can go to google and look up your BMI and that will tell you a healthy weight range to be in.\nA good rule of thumb for girls... 100 lbs. for 5 feet and 5 lbs. for every inch over. So... for you, that would be 135, and you're right there!

I guess any fruits that have a strong taste similiar to kiwis and strawberries.

That feeling usually means that you have a food allergy. If all you have is a slight tingling then the allergy is mild and you don't have to worry much. If if accompanies other symptoms like trouble breathing or rash then you need to avoid those foods. It is probably the salicidic acid you are reacting to which is present in both of those fruits.

Apparently a different meaning of 'romance' is 'fantasy', i.e. creativity and the ability to make things up. The girl can tell really believable lies really quickly without having to think about it so that's why it's her specialty.\n\nPretty meaningless if you don't know that meaning of 'romance', though, and I didn't until I read the story.


i have a song downloaded here me and my brother made but want to send it to someone but it goes just doesnt download or play

You can do that with Yahoo Music Engine, not with iTunes sorry.


how much should I charge per hour for sax lessons? I'd be teaching little kids (just learning) and I want the price to be affordable and reasonable :]\nI'm 15, in highschool, and I have been playing for about 7 or 8 years, so I believe this must be taken into account as well; but I am very experienced! :P\nThanks!

First of all let me say it is very admirable of you to endeavor to teach music.\n\nMusic is a very subjective matter- what one calls "good" another regards as "noise".  The same can be said for teaching, and teaching technique.  Everyone teaches differently, and more important- everyone learns differently.  The best teachers are the ones who can recognize how his or her students learn and tailor the lessons for them.\n\nThat said, with inexperience comes the inability to accurately gauge what it takes to connect with someone in order to teach them.  You may be well suited for teaching and so may not require much experience to pass on what you know.\n\nI would say 10-15 dollars an hour is fair, however- you need to establish confidence within the parents of the children that you are worth their time and effort.  \n\nMore important than what you charge is making your credentials known.  If you have very little in that regard, then I suggest making a package deal beneficial toward you and the student- instead of saying you charge 10 or 15 dollars per hour, say that you charge 10-15 per HALF hour, but want to make certain that you can be a good teacher, so you'll throw in an extra half hour for free.\n\nYou can imagine what the response would be, and you're not really giving anything away for free.  Parents would be more likely to accept you as a teacher- you're offering more bang for the buck.\n\nI also suggest asking for payment for one lesson in advance- the reason being that you need to schedule your day around your lessons, and if someone cancels on you, you can't always find a student to fill that slot, so thus you've wasted an hour of your time.  If everyone pays for one lesson in advance, you will still be paid in the event of a no-show, and then you can simply arrange for a make-up lesson at a later date. \n\nMake certain this are clear: You will not refund for a missed lesson unless given at least 24 hours notice.  That's only common courtesy, and most understand.  It will also make you seem as if you have more experience and are very professional regarding your business.\n\nGood luck

Taylor,  he invented the Taylor Expansions from differential calculus. Without Taylor Expansions, you wouldn't be able to do transendental functions on a pocket calculator or computer.


I am going bowling tomorrow and I haven't played in like 6 years. When I did I was really good. Any tips I can use to get into my groove?

Practice. All you need to do is spend a lot of time getting back into your grove. If you'er willing to put in you'll get the results.


is there a font bigger than new courier?

All fonts that are set to the same size are the same height - the length is the only thing that differs, as you noted in your question.  If you were to print out a sentence in Times New Roman 36 and Courier New 36, they'd both be 1/2 inch tall.  The width varies though.  In the case of Times New Roman and Courier New, it has to do with the fact that Courier New is a monospaced font - all characters are the same width.  So a lowercase L is the same width as a capital A.  This isn't so with Times New Roman.\n\nYou can always change the spacing between letters or the width of the letters themselves by going to Format - Font, then clicking on the Character Spacing tab.  Using this, you could stretch a passage written in Times New Roman to be the same width as Courier New.\n\nBTW, on my computer, Lucinda Handwriting is a shade wider than Courier New.  I'm sure there are more, but I didn't want to go through all of them to find out.

I like this guy and I'm 13 and he's 14. I wrote a song and long story short some girls hooked him up w/ the lyrics and he thought it was good and he plays the guitar so he is gonna write music for it(yes he knows that i wrote the song). I've noticed that sometimes he'll catch me looking at him and he'll look a little confused or give me a "what?" look and sometimes he'll walk away from his friends and turn and look at me and give me that confused look a gain and he is really nice. What does all this stuff mean? Does he like me? How can I get him to like me? I'm really shy though so I want to be sure that he likes me before/if I make a move (which would be REALLY bold for me). GUYS~ plz IM me cuz I have more Q's too...I prefer guys to answer and IM me! THANX SO MUCH! PLEASE IM me for more details! + theres a new major prob that might not be a prob but still...HELP!

Hang out with him... Play music together or go out for some grub. Say this: "hey kid, we should hang out, what's your number? I'll call you later on and we can go out for some food or something (have a pen ready, then write yours on his hand)"... yeah something like that. That's not hard at all. good luck

No, Morality is personal.  Rules are for everyone.\n\nRules can be set to try and set some kind of moral backing, but it is up to the person whether or not they want to follow the rules.


This would cost the tax payers just $1.2 billion, and the money would go back into the hands of citizens.  Better then a gas rebate if you ask me; we turn them all in and they deport them - save us billions?

Why does Scott Podsednik (of the white Sox) tuck his knickers in to his socks sometimes, and other times he just wears the pants??  It's driving me CRAZY!!  Is it a superstition thing??  Does ANYONE know?!?!  And please include a reference if you have one, Thanks!

Its not a superstition thing as much as it is a cosmetic thing.  Players who wear high socks do it as an alternative to tucking the pantlegs under the legs themselves.  This way there is extra padding by the knee as well as the socks are all the way up.  The look is solid, and the comfort of not having the pants moving all over is great.

It was a disaster date, but it was hilarious. I went on a date with a guy that was 4 inches shorter than me so it made things awkward from the start. We went to the Rainforest Cafe and we got sat next to this HUGE elephant. Every half hour all of the animals everywhere go crazy making their sounds and there are thunder and lightening sounds which makes it kind of fun but our huge elephant kept going off like every 5 minutes! Every time we would get into a good conversation, the damn elephant would go off! Then we decided to go to a little mini amusement park after and there was a girl running the rides that kept making comments about how much shorter he was than me. One time she said,"You do know he's shorter than you right?" so I turned to her and said,"You do know you are overweight right?" The guy that i was out with and I had so much fun but it just couldn't have been a bigger disaster. He ended up locking his keys in the car and it started raining. he convinced some guy that he was in the Coast Guard Special Services so he would help us get into his car. We never went out on another date but we are still friends and we still laugh about it.

Since chlorinating, shocking, correcting the ph and alkalinity I keep getting this reocurring whitish-brownish foam on the pool surface. I screen it off and it just keeps reappearing. I've cleaned the bottom with the vac (thru the filter then backwashed), tested the pool water and corrected the chemicals to no avail. can anyone tell me what this is and how to get rid of it?

Try using a pro-biotic product. The bacteria in the product digests waste. They use this in commercial ponds for cleaning before restocking, and also in oil spills, because it can digest petrol. Ask your local house and garden supplies shop, or if you live near farms ask them.

Lindsey acts like she's so cool and whenever she gets an opportunity, like to go on a cruise, she rubs it in my face.  Whenever I try to break our friendship, she gets mad at me.  When I invite her to something, she never wants to go. Help !!

Sounds like she's first trying to make you jealous. I would break the friendship off she obviously doesn't have any respect towards you when rubbing things in your face. If she's your friend as she calls herself she should be willing to hang out with you. Have you told her how she's making you feel and why you feel the need to end the friendship if not do so and see if she changes if not then I would let her go. No sense, in being unhappy nor going through life with someone who calls her self something then doesn't act the part (figuratively speaking)Good Luck!


It is design to never chip, crack, fade, or become brittle

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene\n\nAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or ABS, (chemical formula (C8H8· C4H6·C3H3N)x) is a common thermoplastic used to make light, rigid, molded products such as pipes, golf club heads (used for its good shock absorbance), automotive body parts, enclosures, protective head gear, and toys including LEGO bricks. It is a copolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene. The proportions can vary from 15% to 35% acrylonitrile, 5% to 30% butadiene and 40% to 60% styrene. The result is a long chain of polybutadiene criss-crossed with shorter chains of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile). The nitrile groups from neighbouring chains, being polar, attract each other and bind the chains together, making ABS stronger than pure polystyrene. The styrene gives the plastic a shiny, impervious surface. The butadiene, a rubbery substance, provides resilience even at low temperatures. ABS can be used between −25 °C and 60 °C.\n\nProduction of 1 kg of ABS requires the equivalent of about 2 kg of oil for raw materials and energy. The largest producer of ABS resin in the world is Chi Mei Corporation of Taiwan.\n\n[edit]\nSynthesis of ABS\nAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene can be found as a graft copolymer, in which styrene-acrylonitrile polymer is formed in a polymerization system in the presence of polybutadiene rubber latex; the final product is a complex mixture consisting of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, a graft polymer of styrene-acrylonitrile and polybutadiene and some unchanged polybutadiene rubber. There are, therefore, many variables to the process besides the different positions of the starting materials, so this technique is capable of producing polymers with a much wider range of properties. [Brighton et al. 1979] ABS can be made by blending, the technique involved mechanical blending by mixing a butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber with styrene-acrylonitrile resins, the process is being carried out under such conditions that the two polymers underwent some grafting. This technique is rather limited and has been largely suppressed by chemical process. [Brighton et al. 1979]\n\n\n\n\n[edit]\nProperties of ABS\nABS is derived from acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. Where acrylonitrile are synthetic monomers produced from propylene and ammonia; butadiene is a petroleum hydrocarbon obtained from butane; and styrene monomers, derived from coal, are commercially obtained from benzene and ethylene from coal. The advantage of ABS is that this material combines the strength and rigidity of the acrylonitrile and styrene polymers with the toughness of the polybutadiene rubber. The most amazing mechanical properties of ABS are resistance and toughness. A variety of modifications can be made to improve impact resistance, toughness, and heat resistance. For instance, the impact resistance can be amplified by increasing the proportions of polybutadiene in the relation to the styrene and acrylonitrile although this is following by changes in other properties. Impact resistance does not fall off rapidly at lower temperatures. Stability under load is excellent with limited loads. Even though ABS plastics are used largely for mechanical purposes, they also have good electrical properties that are fairly constant over a wide range of frequencies. These properties are little affected by temperature and atmospheric humidity in the acceptable operating range of temperatures. [Harper, 1975] The final properties will be influenced to some extent by the conditions under which the material is processed to the final product; for example, molding at a high temperature improves the gloss and heat resistance of the product whereas the highest impact resistance and strength are obtained by molding at low temperature. ABS polymers are resistant to aqueous acids, alkalis, concentrated hydrochloric and phosphoric acids, alcohols and animal, vegetable and mineral oils, but they are swollen by glacial a

I'm fed-up with television advertisement asking for donations to feed the "hungry people" in various parts of the world.  Why can't we concentrate our efforts here in the United States?  If all the rich people gave up all their possessions, started sharing their assets with the less fortunate do you feel the USA would be a better place? What if the government gave up all authority, and instead created a better way to life; stopped developing expensive penthouses and started pooling their resources together to help our people only in the USA; do you believe, we as a nation can become a stronger USA (home of the free)? Why is it that the government is afraid to stop, look and develop a plan to rebuild our country? Tomorrow is not promised.  I feel that until the government makes a decision to stop helping others abroad, that our USA will eventually become a NO MANS LAND. I haven't seen other countries send world relief funds to help the USA? What should we do and what would be your plan?

The US is an oligarchy and what you propose will unlikely happen since oligarchies have been the preferred method of governance for all industrialized nations.\n\nAn oligarchy is (usually) a nation ruled by the wealthy for the benefit of the wealthy.\n\nMost poor people support it because they hope to someday become wealthy, however unlikely it may be that will happen.

I have heard that data stored on compact disc lasts practically forever, yet some makers guarantee their discs for no longer than 25 years. I assume CDs last longer than microfilm; is there any other medium that is even more durable?

According to the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA), CD-R discs have a long lifespan:\n\n"Lifetime estimation of any storage medium is a very complex and statistics-based process. Improper testing or measurement procedures can seriously impact and compromise lifetime estimates. ANSI Committee IT-9 is currently developing comprehensive guidelines for CD-ROM and CD-R life estimation. The CD-R media manufacturers have performed extensive media longevity studies using these industry-defined tests and mathematical modeling techniques, with results claiming longevity from 70 years to over 200 years. The primary caveat is how you handle and store the media. With proper handling and storage, your CD-Rs will outlive you."

I need to write about a few things: Wedding, Proposal, bride /bridesmaid costumes...\nYea, I have a basis already.\nOkay, here goes nothing-\n\nThe girl has luekemia and is dying. Sara gets Kevin to propose to the sick girl because they love each other. (at wedding) Sara helps the girl (KAren) get into bride gown and they go to the wedding at a riverside thing in open air. She walks down the aisle, btu beofre she gets there, she faints and dies.\n\nIf yo uahve anything, please post or contact me or something.\nnikkiace2@yahoo.com

A few things to remember when developing a plot for a story.  \n\n1. Plot is about conflict.  I suppose the conflict here is about whether or not to propose?  If so, the whole conflict is summed up in the "gets Kevin to propose" part.  Make sure you play up this conflict or you have no story. \n\n2. Remember that all the characters are trying to resolve the conflict for their OWN ends.  Whey is Kevin going to marry a dying girl, and be branded an ex-husband and have a tougher time marrying another girl later?  Does he have concerns about it, even secretly to himself?  Why is Sara so keen on getting them married?  What does Sara want out of it?  Just to make Karen happy one last time?  What's Sara's relationship with Kevin?  Why is Karen wanting to get married?  Perhaps it'll help with medical insurance premiums?  (Yes, I know, that's pretty cold.  But perhaps it's a factor.  Your story.)\n\n3. Remember that getting married is very stressful.  No matter how much you love the other person, you're going to be nervous about whether or not you're making the right choice.  Knowing that the bride has a fatal disease is only going to make that doubt worse.  Play that up.  Both of them are likely to be terrified of getting married, under the circumstances.\n\n4. The plot as you have built here would be a great place for the use of dramatic irony.  Perhaps Kevin is considering calling off the wedding?  Perhaps he's uneasy about the idea of marrying a girl that he knows is going to die?  Perhaps he hates himeself for this, and can't make up his mind whether or not to say "I Do".  Will he decide to say yes or no at the last minute?  The tension can build all the way up the to the aisle, and just before the reader finds out what Kevin's final answer is, she dies.  \n\nThose are my ideas, take them or leave them.  Good luck.\nI'd love to see how your story turns out.  Feel free to e-mail it to me.


I have til May 10th to get 90 sum lessons completed and I have a little girl which makes it hard to get online and do work my dad still won't allow me to get a sitter so i'm kinda screwed...does anyone have any ideas on what i could do

Your Dad won't LET you get a sitter??  Tell him he needs to watch her.  Or, ask a neighbor to help you.


Putting your kids into a car seat or a buckle is a no brainer....but should the law say what a person has to do to themselves?

Absolutely not. It's the first step down a slippery slope to a total government nanny state. Obviously you are better off wearing your seatbelt. You are better off not drinking or smoking, exercising 5 times a week, eating a balanced diet, chewing 15 times before swallowing your food, looking both ways before crossing the street, and not running with scissors.\n\nThank God we haven't reached a point in this country where EVERYTHING that you SHOULD do you MUST under penalty of law. This is a free country, right?

My girlfriend keeps bugging me for a 3-some. Sounds great huh? WRONG! She wants to bring an animal of some type in the bed with us! She has shown particular interest in dogs, cats, monkey's, birds, and even FISH! She has threatened to break up with me if I don’t oblige her. Other then this she is great and extremely attractive. What should I do? I don’t want to lose her!

That was a joke right? Good one! Take pics and send them to me!\n\nNow, on the off chance that it wasn't a joke...\n\nFish? If you do, take pics of the fish, I wanna know how she plans to... no, no I don't. It's just that morbid curiousity of mine surging again. Definitely don't wanna know about the fish.\n\nBut, seriously, once she gets what she wants, is she going to want it more and more? Doesn't sound like there's any easy way out of it, except to dump her, wait for her to find... (what's it called? a xenophile?) somebody that ***** chickens and all that, and call the police on them for animal abuse. That should teach her. I mean, sex with four out of five of the animals you mentioned would most likely kill them. And I'm pretty sure I know what she wants to do with the fish, and it WILL die in there.\n\nFish? Ew!


I have heard in several of my Sociology and Psychology classes that couple who cohabitate (live together) before marriage have a higher risk of divorce the longer they live together when finally married. Also that most relationships where there is no marriage will end within 5 years of cohabitation. If it's true, why is it so important that some sort of legal contract of marriage is established. It seems these days more couples are actually choosing to live together and not marry at all.

Irrespective of what socialogists may say, a man and woman living together before(or after) marriage is a pleasure, a pleasure for some time.


General Michael Hayden appeared before Senate Thursday for the first day of his confirmation hearings to become the new head of the CIA. \nThe former director of the National Security Agency repeatedly defended the legality of the NSA’s secret warrant-less domestic eavesdropping program that he helped design.\nIn order to get a broad perspective on what you think about domestic spying in the land-of-the-free, I’m posting this same question in three categories: \n>Politics & Government: Law Enforcement & Police  \n>News & Events: Current Events\n>Culture: Other – Society & Culture  \nPlease – intelligent responses only.

Yes! Under this Administration it is worse than the KGB. When is America going to wake up and demand accountability from George W. Bush, for his abuse of his office and the power bestowed upon him? We impeached Nixon for much less than this. How long are we going to sit back and take this kind of corruption?

why should congress allow segregation just after the slaves were freed?  i need to come up with a convincing fight (as a lawyer) and present it before the class.  then they'll decide yes or no.  how can i fight this way?

you can say that southern economy depends on slaves. and without the south's raw goods, the north is nowhere. for example, the cotton from the south was used in factories in the north to make clothes, etc \nand you can be a real pig by saying they are lower than white ppl and blah blah blah all that silly stuff the southerners thought


Life has not been real good to me could i have been born under a bad sign?

i dont believe that anyone is born under a bad sign, however if u believe that then perhaps u are. life will imitate bad or good thougths. if u think good things then good things will happen to u but if your a negative type of person (no offense) then bad luck will follow u.


I was on business for 7 days in Vegas and had a 3 day fling. The girl left and went back to Idaho on the 4th day. On the 5th day I thought I emailed Her some kinky pictures of Us together and gave her my contact information. After I clicked the send button I discovered I had actually sent the email to My Wife by mistake (Freudian slip?). Do I confess? Hope She doesn't read Her email till after I'm back and deleted it? Pretend It was a Joke? Help! I'll never do this again!

You gotta ride this out, my friend. Think of diamonds and gold for your wife. It will be cheaper than the alimony.


I noticed it latley, that I am a real nice person, but I have been in an employment type class, and I was called spacy a few times (I really do pay attention), and make the grade. Also Every TIME I go to check into work,or out, I can be the first to walk up, but the last one that gets checked out. Their are a few other things, these things kinda hurt my feelings, why do they happen? What can I do about it?

Sweetie, there is nothing wrong with being a nice person. Nothing at all. And you can still get what you need/want by being a nice person. Sometimes though, you have to assert yourself. That doesn't mean being a B*tch. That means the next time you go to check into work, and someone butts in front of you, or the person checking you in lets someone get ahead of you, you simply step up and say firmly and politely "So sorry, but I was here first". Being assertive and getting what you need is not being mean. Sounds like you almost have a case of being too nice. Don't let people push you around. Unfortunately some people percieve kindness as weakness...Prove them wrong.


I've just invested in some England Flag head boppers with tinsle, England Inflatable Hand (may have 2 get another one) & an inflatable England Hammer that makes a Boing noise when you hit it. Is anybody as MAD! as me out there?

Sure am were on a barge canal booze cruise. Have my bunting flags, t-shirt, car deco kit. Cape, hat, and the master piece my inflatable chair with built in beer can holders.

10 points to the first person to say the end of the sentance!

cuz I might ha-chum sneeze Well you a the bun and me a the cheese And if me a the rice well you a the peas...


personally i love kobe. and i love how he's gettin better in passing the ball.just the other night he has 10 assists. but i was wondering if this changes your opinion about him or if you think it's just a phase.

Kobe haters will disagree even if he end up playing like this for the next 10 years or so. Kobe haters are just miobic in terms of having a blind eye and doesnt seperate their hearts from their heads. All I know is Kobe wants to win and wants to win now. He wanted to prove people wrong and to prove all the haters wrong. And if he have to play like this to win, he will do it as long as he can. It's all about winning for Kobe right now.


If you can only own ONE of them, which one would you want?\nWhich one do you love the most?\nWhich one do you think is more powerful/fastest?\nIf you can only save just one, and the other 2 have to be "put down", who would you rather save?\nAny additional answers/input/opinions you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I would love to have Smarty Jones.  Everyone loved Smarty Jones because of his underdog roots.  He started the improbable run of Philadelphia-area based horses who won Triple Crown races.\n\nSmarty Jones saved Pennsylvania horse racing, and helped to get the slots in the PA tracks.  If it wasn't for Smarty Jones, the PA tracks would be in worse shape than the Maryland tracks.\n\nI think Afleet Alex was the most powerful.  He loved to train, especially twice a day.  Because of his training regimen, he was the most powerful on raceday in my opinion.\n\nFastest I think was Smarty Jones.  He was bred to win PA-bred races at Philly Park by I think a sire and dam that was bred for speed.  I think if they all ran as 3-year olds in a sprint race, the finish would be Smarty, Barbaro, Alex.\n\nIn a distance race, it's wide open, and any of the 3 horses could win.\n\nI couldn't save just one.  I'd have to save all 3.

I have no idea how to properly dispose of an old CRT monitor I used to use for my PC, and also a rechargeable battery in a phone I no longer want. I am not willing to sell, not interested in holding onto both until somebody will take it for free. So who do I call or bring these items to, to dispose of properly/legally?

Call town hall. They'll put you in touch with (probably) the recycling center. Most communities have a few days a year where hazardous waste can be brought and disposed of.

If one consider the original Bible was too old and lost due to aging, could not found it now any where in the world, how to trust on translations done by human beings? The various translations shows each time corrected - some additions and some deletions ... Why dont open the eyes and see the true and original QURAN in its lively original arabic language. Its a request to all brothers and sisters to read it atleast once , so you can know the true message from Creator in its original form without any tamperings. Still if want to close the doors of knowledge ( QURAN )by reading it with open mind, sent to whole mankind by the Creator, no one helps you. Time still allows us to do research on finding true and straight path which leads to the way accepted by the Creator of whole existance. So please remove hatredness from hearts and minds and try to read QURAN once atleast. Do you know, there is a whole chapter on the name of one of the GREATEST WOMEN of the world MARY or MARYAM in it ?

There are four versions, and I mean by "version" accepted cannon and not translations because obviously there are thousands of those, of what people refer to as the "Bible". The Catholic version, which has 73 books in it. The Protestant version, which has 66 books in it. The Coptic version, which has 75 books in it. And the Jewish version, which has 49 books in it. These four versions cover two specific faiths, Christianism and Judaism. Of all those books NOT ONE original document or even a known trustwothy COPY of an original document exists. Of the five major world monotheistic faiths (Christianism, Islam, Judaism, Bahai, and Sikh) only ONE can rightly claim and prove via historical documentation, that in turn can be proved correct, that its Holy Book has never been altered or ammended. And that faith is Islam. The Koran is a beautiful Holy Book, filled with light and wisdom. I own various translations and at least one copy in Arabic (true Koran) that was a gift to me from the Saudi Arabian Embassy. I've read the Koran more than any other religious text. I am not Muslim. BUT ... I am honest with myself and others. A lack of honesty and open mindedness on my part would in no way alter the Truth. And the Truth is that Holy Koran IS the ONLY uncorrupted religious text in existance today. People of faith need to be honest enough to admit that and open minded enough to read it, and THAT with an open mind. They are not being fair to THEMSELVES when they make a decision about a thing without first having investigated it. ~ Peace & Blessings ~


my husband is applying for insurance, somebody will get my urine and blood, i have UTI, would that be a reason for disapproval later on?

No.  A UTI is not a major infection...it is easily cured and prevented.  Insurance companies normally disapprove people if they think they will die soon or will have a build up of medical expenses.  I don't think those characteristics apply to UTIs.  Also, crannberry juice is very helpful during UTIs and to prevent them in the future.


i was hangin out with my friend and my man wanted to have a sex with both of us so i did because thats what he wanted to do and i wanted to try it out to see how it was but i wish i never had because about 3 weeks later i fount out that he was playin me and   when i went to ask him about it he dumped me i dont know what to do..then about 5 weeks ago when it didnt work out between them he called me back cryin sayin he wanted me back i dont know what to do should i go back with him or just tell him i can do it.

I would say leave them both alone, as they used you to get what they both wanted. Why take the chance of taking eighther back, and getting hurt again. Friends don't do friends like that. Bf's should respect their Gf enough to not step out with their friend, and not step out at all, espeacially when she has gone this far to please him in the relationship. I feel so badly for you. You tried to keep your love life active, by spicing things up by giving into what he wanted. If I were in your sshoes, I seriously think I would be done with them both. I can not understand why they would do this to you, and espeacially him. you are one of those girls who did what most would not, allowed her man the pleasure of two women. You are not retarded for expierimenting to try and spice your relationship up and please your man, so ignore what aretard said to you. She is 2 answers below me.


She has 180+ BP sometimes tha machine reads 210 but I think it is wrong.

Yes it is bad, but it's NOT from her blood pressure. She in serious danger of dropping dead of a heart attack or stroke ANY MINUTE with blood pressure that high. It's just not acceptable. Take her to the emergency room NOW.


I am a dancer and have recently had surgery on my knee for tearing my meniscus, and it is sooooo painful. I don't want to tell my mom my knee hurts because whe won't understand. she'll make me quit dance, and drill team is my life.  Should I just lie and say it feels better, or tell her the truth?

Tell her the truth...something may be wrong...the doctor may not have corrected the problem, you may have an infection, or...it might be as simple as the swelling hasn't gone down enough.  Tell the truth so they can make sure everything is done correctly, so you can be dancing again as soon as possible.\n\nGood Luck.

i have my ipod/itunes on my computer at home, and my room mate just got one for herself, can we use the same computer but have different itunes?  thanks!

yes very easily. plug them both in and iTunes does the rest for you. \n\nThe only thing you need to worry about when your in the iPod preferences adding playlists and such make sure your adding them to the right playlist. I have 5 hooked up to my iTunes and my gfs two are named very simaler so i often mess up and put books on her music ipod and music on her books


I am a wrestling fan. I know all and well it's fake, have for as long as I can tell. But does it matter whether or not it's fake. In the long run, it's entertainment. Does it make it any less entertaining that it's not real? How about The Color Purple, The DaVinci Code, or Romeo & Juliet. Those are scripted, does that make them suck?

no it doesn't matter cause like u said it is entertainment. if u enjoy watchin it well continue seeing it don't stop watchin it cause it is fake. so are movies they fake but u don't see ppl not watchin it cause it is scripted they watch it cause it is good and they hav fun watchin it. if u enjoy sumthing u shouldn't stop watchin it cause it is not real. im a wrestling fan and i kno its fake but i watch it cause it is entertaining and cause the hot guys, and alot of guys watch it for entertainment but also cause the hotgirls. we all watch sumthing cause it is entertainment. so wat its fake u enjoy it still


I was watching a movie in first block and just started freakin wit him every other day and it was good too would you every do it.


i have a friend(itink) out side of school and like i tink we really good friends wen its me her and someother girl but wen its wit claire im out! and i dont kno if she my real friend do u kno how i can figure it out?

well if she shows some sings that she cares about you then she is true friend, if she likes you just coz you are smart, pretty or intelligent thn she is not your true friend.\n\nif she likes you for who you are, then she is your true friend.\n\nif she is jelous of you then she is not your true friend.\n\nif she tries to change you then she is not your true friend\n\nyou cant ask this question to someone else rather than yourself. do you think she is your true friend by heart? if yes then yes, she is your true friend.\n\nyou have to be true friend if you want someone to be yours.


does you avatar look like you?me?a lil bit i need to put a sile on though lol.....so tell me does mine look pretty? i look ALMOST like it....

No need to answer if you believe that religion requires faith and not evidence.\n\nState your religion or religious views, and please either elucidate or direct me to very good and serious evidence for your religion.

What kind of evidence?\n\n You wont get it that easily because Hindus do not believe it does matter. They simply do not feel the need to prove anything.So they have not presented details seeking evidences and publishing and pointing it out. \nDwarika, city of Krishna has been discovered some years back under sea. Mahabharat clearly stated that after Krishna's death Dwarika had submerged into sea. Krishna had asked Arjun to move the population from the city.\n\nThe recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam's Bridge made of chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long, in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka, reveals a mystery behind it. The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 17,50,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent. This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in tretha yuga (more than 17,00,000 years ago). In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram (India) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.\n\nBut archealogical evidences prove only that the person existed. \n\nGod (concept of or the real thing) is not about proof.\n\n        If you logic is your evidence in that case Hinduism is a vast philosophy. It is called SAnatan and is sanatan(eternal). It starts with most early beliefs and covers almost every kind of religious philosophy.  It has kings among its philosophers and even shudra philosophers. From Vashishtha, Agastya etc to kabeer and sant ravidas(a cobbler) had something to contribute.\n\nAccording to Carl Sagan, (1934-1996) astro-physicist, in his book Cosmos says:\n\n"The Hindu religion  is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology. \n\nHindu cosmography, for example born in hoary antiquity, strikes one in certain ways as surprisingly modern. India has never limited its conception of time to a few crowded millennia. Thousands of years ago India's sages computed the earth's age at a little over two billion years, our present era being what is called the seventh Manuvantra. This is a staggering claim. Consider how much scientific evidence has been needed in the West before men could even imagine so enormous a time scale.\n\n"Hindu cosmography, for example born in hoary antiquity, strikes one in certain ways as surprisingly modern.

It’s an idea as old as Hinduism, updated for the 21st century. The theorists acknowledge that their cyclic concept draws upon religious and scientific ideas going back for millennia — echoing the "oscillating universe" model that was in vogue in the 1930s, as well as the Hindu belief that the universe has no beginning or end, but follows a cosmic cycle


It has happened for a couple of years now and it happens summer or winter. What could this be? I get tired of always having the little red bumps on my body. How do I get rid of them? What causes this?

To be sure of getting an accurate and correct diagnosis along with proper treatment, please see a dermatologist.  No one can diagnose you, not even a doctor, without seeing the "bumps"...those who answer would only be guessing.\n\nIf they guess wrong and you follow their advice, you could end up with far more serious issues.  Be smart, see a dermatologist.

In a TV game show, they said that Diamond is a metal which is having a Symbol 'C'. I had heard that Diamond is a Allotropic form of Carbon and it is not a metal. One of my friend says Diamond is a compound containing Carbon and Hydrogen. Please, will anyone describe the nature and formula of Diamond?

Diamond is one of the two best known forms (or allotropes) of carbon, whose hardness and high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry. (The other equally well known allotrope is graphite.) Diamonds are specifically renowned as a mineral with superlative physical qualities — they make excellent abrasives because they can be scratched only by other diamonds, ultrahard fullerite, or aggregated diamond nanorods, which also means they hold a polish extremely well and retain luster. About 130 million carats (26,000 kg) are mined annually, with a total value of nearly USD $9 billion.\n\nThe name “diamond” derives from the ancient Greek adamas (αδάμας; “invincible”). They have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in India at least 2,500 years ago—and usage in drill bits and engraving tools also dates to early human history. Popularity of diamonds has risen since the 19th century because of increased supply, improved cutting and polishing techniques, and growth in the world economy. They are commonly judged by the “four Cs”: carat, clarity, color, and cut. Although synthetic diamonds are produced each year at nearly four times the amount of natural diamonds, the vast majority of synthetic diamonds produced are small imperfect diamonds suitable only for industrial-grade use.\n\nRoughly 49% of diamonds originate from central and southern Africa, although significant sources of the mineral have been discovered in Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, and Australia. They are generally mined from volcanic pipes, which are deep in the Earth where the high pressure and temperature enables the formation of the crystals. The mining and distribution of natural diamonds are subjects of frequent controversy—such as with concerns over the sale of conflict diamonds by African paramilitary groups. There are also allegations that the De Beers Group misuses its dominance in the industry to control supply and manipulate price via monopolistic practices, although in recent years the company's market share has dropped to below 50%.\n\nA Diamond is a transparent crystal of pure carbon consisting of tetrahedrally bonded carbon atoms. Humans have been able to adapt diamonds for many uses because of the material's exceptional physical characteristics. Most notable among these properties are the extreme hardness of diamond, its high dispersion index, and high thermal conductivity. These properties form the basis for most modern applications of diamond

He Is So Inconsiderate!!Once It Go Ur Way It Have To Hit U Back Like A Boomarang!Right Now I Like Him 25% and Hate Him 75%...

You don't have  to focus on him. Once you pretend you never liked him, he'll want ur attention. Thne you will feel happy. WHen he completely likes you, stop acting so dignified and accept him eagerly, before he goes away again.


i want to the name of the softwares which allows to unlock the original DVDs and let me copy/Burn them

DVD Shrink is hard to find, but it's free.\n\nYou can rip almost any DVD.\n\nThen use Nero Burning ROM to burn them. Not free.


I want one that supports and outputs in a variety of formats like mpg, mp2, mp4, mp3, mov, wma, wmv, m4a, etc.

I AM POINTING RIGHT NOW- is this one okay!


and the drug dealer sells drugs from that house, and the police raid the house and finds lot of drugs, will the main renter of the house be charged with a crime?  Or will just the drug dealer be charged?

All adult and some minors depending on the age would be charged. The owner of the house could also lose the house in a seizure. The amount found would be the main deciding factor in the penalty phase or exactly what charges are filed. The severity of the penalty would also be based on if there is an example to be made of the people involved, if there were young children exposed to it, and if anyone has any priors on their records.


right now my favorite class would be computers with designing and etc. because it's interesting to me.

Physics and Maths.\n\nMy mind just loves to solve the problems, especially calculus, and trignometry! I understand these two subject well too.
