I like president Bush, but what is he thinking when he is letting Arabs patrol our ports.  As Americans shouldn't we get to have a say about this? What is this country coming too?

Well, it's not like evrey single guard is going to be an arab.  There will still have to be American citizens.  It's just that the company that will oversee those guards will be owned by the Saudi government.  Just the same, I'm against it, too.  I'd be just as much against it if I had known that the company was previously owned by a British company.  Yes, they are both our allies.  So what.  They're not US.  Not only should Americans be the guards, the company in charge should be American as well.


A man born in the 1800s who is credited with many witty sayings and died fifty years ago (1956) once said, "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart."\n\nHe had another quote.  He said one thing is easy to bear but something else stings.  What did he say stings?

I KEEP GETTING ARRESTED! Here's why:\n\nI had a grand mal seizure when I was 16 due to a prescription drug interaction. This caused the state to require me to submit medical reports 3 times a year in order to keep my driver's license.\n\nNow, at least 2 or three times a year, my license is suspended and reinstated. I have been arrested for driving under suspension more times than I can count!\n\nI have not had a seizure since then (I am now 27), but still have to submit the reports or face arrest whenever an officer pulls me over (thankfully that is not all that often).\n\nI am in top-notch health and do not understand why I must keep doing this!!! I have contacted state senators, supervisors at the department of public safety, EVERYONE! The medical review board will not grant me a hearing, despite the heated letters that all of my neurologists send them.\n\nWhat should I do? This is getting ridiculous and I cannot live with this arrangement for the rest of my life. What do I do???

I would suggest you to contact your local media (newspaper, tv, radio) and tell them your story.  This is a interesting story that will draw attention to your situation and hopefully a resolution.  Good luck!


I am 30 years old and have a menstral period about every two weeks if not every ten days for the last three months. I am also having such hot flashes that make me very sick, migranes, muscle pain... just to name a few. I thought 30 was too young or is it? It really bothers me because lately I am so forgetful, and cant even concentrate on driving down the road. If someone else knows what I am feeling any help would be appreciated. It just kind of scares me but I am also terrified of doctors.

Go to your doctor, although it sounds about right!


i saw in a picture like this black frame with awhite middle that people signed for a wedding, and i wanted one for my wedding instead of a guest book, i thought this would be neat!

Check Michael's or any craft store. Some specialty wedding shops also carry them. If you can't find one, make it your self, and it will have even more meaning to you.


Please describe 80s style, music, technology development, human values etc.

I believe Fresh Prince first aired in 91 or 92. Nothing to do with the 80s.\n\n>>>80s style\n\n80s style in everything tried very hard to be sophisticated. That applies to architecture, fine art, TV, clothing, cars, music and so forth. Not that it always succeeded, but sophistication was the ideal. That was contrasted by the 70s plastic/futuristic style in just about everything and the early 90s descent into grunge.\n\n>>>80s music. \n\nVery poppy. Very middle-of-the-road. Thanks to MTV pop was THE 80s music.   Think Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna.  Even the rock and 'mature' acts like U2 or Genesis were extremely poppy compared to 70s or 90s music. 80s music was very easy to listen to and almost entirely uncontroversial. Madonna was the most controverisal popular artist for songs like "Like a Virgin". That's how uncontroversial 80s music was.\n\nI discount punk as a 70s survivor rather than 80s music, just as I discount early 90s hair metal acts as 80s survivors and defintitely not 90s music.\n \n>>>80s technology development\n\nSuprisingly large on the home front. At the beginning of the 80s VCRs were almost unheard of in private homes and even medium sized cities didn't have any video rental outlets at all. Microwave ovens, personal computers, remote control TVs and cell phones were also practically unheard of. By the end of the decadee those things had all become commonplace.\n\n\n>>>>human values etc\n\nConfused. \n\nDespite the popular image of the "Greed is Good" 80s yuppie the 80s saw LiveAid. It saw the real rise of the environment movement away from the leftist hippy fringe and into the mainstream. It saw the start of the 'War on Drugs'. It saw a massive international mobilastion against apartheid in South Africa. It saw mass rallies against nuclear weapons. Social politics in movies and on TV in the 80s was far more common than anything today. \n\nOverall it was very odd. Society seemed more socially aware and socially active than at any period since the 60s, while at the same time individuals were astoundingly blase.


It's been stuck in the for a few hours, I feel fine, but I want that dime out of my lungs - I need to use it to make a payphone call in 1965! Seriously though, what do I do?

What a moron people!\nI'd be glad to waste a dime but only for calling a psychological centre.


I don't want to dump either of them right now because that wouldn't be right.

You don't have a lot of options. If child support is not a problem for you, then I don't see what it is that you're trying to decide here. You'll have to support both your children.\nAs to your relationships.. end one of them. Stay with the one you truly love, or the closest thing to it :)\n\nDoes your girlfriend know you're married? If she does then she's not going to dump you if you pick her. \nYour wife is a different story. \n\nYou're right, this is common.\n\nGood luck to you.


this is a nice language.it is not dificult?for example you can ask to learn some words in this language.if anyone is interesting about it make a question to culture/language.i will translate what ever u want in english.thank u!

i want to learn lots of language. im interested. how do u say i love you?


i found a site a long time ago where people where talking to each other about what the lyrics to a fall out boy song meant. now i cant remember or find that site because i want to know what the lyrics to another song mean.


Do you wanna learn it as your 2nd language?

I was told that the best language to learn right now is Chinese because China is become more and more important. My good friend is currently studying Chinese and I want to keep in touch with him when he graduates so he can help me if I need help!\n\nI'd like to learn Chinese one day, but I'm working on Korean right now :)


what the hell are you lot on asking queastions like how do lesbians have sex and how do women play with them selves?? get a life u fools and grow up you lot must be like 10yrs old

Yahoo says ask anything and anything means a good question or a dumb. Usually dumb people ask a dumb question. \n\nPlease don't stoop to their level and ignore it. You don't have to answer it because there are people who would.


What are your opinions? What should been done? Do you think there will be any problems to arise if the cops are let off clean?

yea i saw it cops are allowed to do that kinda thing and get away wiht it. did you see the thing on the news about the website that soemone things all white people should die or some crap from that. the genius didn't know one of hte cops was a black guy. too funny


Did all the support for breast cancer, etc, make cancer seem like a word you could say and not feel as though you had to whisper it?  I think we on a whole have seen great breakthroughs in our medical knowledge, and aren't so afraid to talk about the bad schtuff anymore.. cancer.. AIDS... I think we are maturing in our way of looking at things.

The term cancer still strikes fear into the hearts of many but yes, you're right -- some of the discomfort associated with the disease has diminished as progress is being made both in the prevention and cure of cancer.


I don't have credit card.but i have bank account.Can i still get money from online paid survey?

Harris Poll Online (run by Harris Interactive) is a legit survey company.  They do not give you money, but the points you earn are easily redeemed for very nice prize packages.  It is very easy to acquire the needed points, too.

I'm reading a book called "The Watsons Go To Birmingham" in school and I have to expalin how skin freezes to ice. As the novel opens, Kenny describes the day as being “a zillion degrees below zero”. In a funny incident, Byron gets his lips stuck to the side-view mirror of the car in freezing weather.

skin is primarily water so it stands to reason if too cold it will freeze as water does

what am i doing to avoid this problem???

Try keeping a glass of water nearby, for drinking during and after your lectures.  also, write more and try to talk less.  When your throath starts hurting, stop talking  and give students a reading assignment or ask them to anser questions.

I've heard is the theory of quarks and gluons , and in the standart model you use QCD mixed with electroweak theory ; but what's this theory about?, how many colours there are?, how do u use it for? .. pls, be as nice and paciente as possible :)

QCD is a theory of the strong force.  Particles have a color charge.  For QCD you have three different colors of quarks (usually called red, green, blue).\n\nAnother major difference in QCD is that the force carrying particle, the gluon, is charged.  In electromagnetism, the photon is the carrying particle, and it is neutral.  There are actually 8 gluons (red - antigreen, red - antiblue, green - antired, green - antiblue, blue - antired, blue - antigreen, and then two different gluons that are combination of red - antired, blue - antiblue, and green - antigreen).\n\nBecause the force carrying particle is charged, it makes the theory very difficult mathematically to solve.  In fact, it has not yet been solved.  Even with the difficulties, there are lots of good approximations and many predictions can be made with it.


I had noticed a lot of red and purple hats and accessories etc. And noticed the name on a brooch in the two colors

My hubby cheated on me over and over again and eventually had a child with one of the women. He is now HIV positive and this has taken its toll on me especially when he discovred that my HIV status was negative. I have met someone new via internet and despite being 7 yrs younger he is great and has great plans for us. Should I giv myself another chance in life or stay where I am. This young man makes me feel complete and seems to find a way to my children's hearts; I have 3 girls aged 7, 12 and 16. Am 36 and he is 29.

You definitely need to get out of the relationship you are in. It is unhealthy for you AND your children. Their father is not setting a good example for them, whether they know about his infidelity or not (they eventually will find out). You are lucky that you have not tested positive for HIV, however, do NOT believe that you are out of the woods. HIV can be dormant for a long time before it shows up on a test. And you can still pass it on even if you don't know you have it. You should get tested again 6 months and a year after your initial test to be sure you are not infected. \n  As far as the other man is concerned, I definitely think you should take it VERY slowly. You need to end the relationship you are in and let your children and yourself heal before you jump into a new relationship. If you have found a friend on the internet who makes you feel better about yourself, that is wonderful, but you should keep it at that for now. Don't allow yourself to be swept into a new relationship at such a difficult time in your life, you won't get the real boost of confidence you need which only comes from realizing your own self worth. Once you have ended your current relationship and are on your own two feet and supporting your children, then you can see where this new relationship takes you. Ultimately though, you are the one in this situation and only you know what is right for you and your children. As far as the age difference, who cares!? Seven years isn't that big a difference in my book.


I'm sure women dont want a micro-weenie, but what about the  "king ding-a-ling" like you see in the "movies"! Does great oral make up for a "smaller then you would like" Weenkie!!?

well if u really like the guy it shouldn't mattter wut size his thingy is a good size is like not 2 small & not 2 huge just in the middle


Is there something wrong in their brain?\nWhy can’t they stick to their own sex?

It's the same in the straight world. Some guys are waaay more butch and other guys are kind of run of the mill average and some straight guys are sensitive.\n\nSame thing with girls, you have girly girls and you have some girls that are kinda tomboyish in style of clothes and attitude but yet not butch. Different strokes for different folks. Just the way the world is.


I have a Dell printer I cancel printing & it just keep going,I've tried turning it off it pops right back on,I've even unplugged it,but when I plug it back on it just keeps printing old picture.HELP!

Ok.....not sure this is going to work, but if you feel comfortable doing it....it may work.\n\nFirst......reboot the computer. Go to the start button and do the shutdown in the usual way.\n\nSee if that clears the problem.\n\n- - - if that doesn't work - - -\n\nSecond.....turn off/unplug the printer.....and reboot the computer.\n\n- - - if that doesn't work - - -\n\nGo into control panel...in whatever flavor of wndows(?) and get to the section on printers. Open it....select (highlight) it....and then click delete.\n\nThen....reboot the computer. Upon booting the computer may recognize the printer is attached and ask if you want to 'install' the driver(s) for it. Say yes and let Windows do its thing and select the appropriate driver for you.\n\nIf after doing these things, you may need to call the Philipines....errrr...I mean India.......oooops....sorry...I mean Dell....and ask them about the printer.\n\nIf you don't feel comfortable doing the above, then you may, indeed have to call <ahem> Dell.\n\n:)


He's an on again off again ex who was dumped by his "true" love and says I'm a "more perfect diamond" but that he is still searching, but that I'm his goal in the end, but he has all the "in love" feelings but squashed them because having them was a betrayal to his ex and now we are just best friends because he isn't in love with me but doesn't know what his feelings for me are.  He dated someone for six months but couldn't stop contacting me, and now that he's single again wants to have me in his life but isn't sure how.  He says he's committed to me, but still single and we don't have a "relationship".

He's playing a game with you. Tell him it's not cute anymore and leave his dumb butt for good.


I wear a juniors size 1. Is that big? If not, what is a big size?

How old are you? A size 1 is small. Are you crazy? It depends on your body what is fat. Some girls wear a 8 and look thin and others wear and 8 and look fat. Same goes for all sizes. My friend and I wear the same size 3 but she looks alot thinner than me cause I have curves and she is up and down.


I am amused that some ethnic groups can have violence brought out so quickly by simply hearing a word.  I am white and I have been called a cracker, a hon*y, a white-boy, a redneck, and other terms that escape me at the moment and I have NEVER felt the need to hurt or kill someone because of a WORD they called me.  Maybe it is because I don't see any truth in the names I have been called.  First of all I'm not a cracker, I am well educated, I eat bread that with yeast(which is the origin of the term 'cracker'--originally it meant poor hillbillys who couldn't afford yeast so their bread was unleavened or "cracker" in consistency) I am not a redneck and I don't even know what a hon*y is supposed to be.  Could it be that ethnic groups only get angry when they fear there is some truth in the statement made about them.  If you say someone is welfare trash does it only anger those who ARE trash etc?  Are there words that could brings whites to fight?  I've never heard any in my lifetime.

Once again, no one READ the question!\n\nAs a white female, there are no words or stereotypes that bring me to violence. Really the only thing that angers me is the lack of knowledge people have, or someone attempting to insult my intelligence. Name calling and stereotypes are something that I "shake off" as ignorant. \nTake it from the phrase taught to children:\n\n*Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me.*


Im watching Cold Case on ABC  and I missed the opening credits, does anyone know who the darkhaired actress is (one of the coldcase detectives) and what else she has been in? She looks very familiar to me but I can't place her

I believe the actress you're referring to is Sarah Brown, who was featured in a brief story arc on Cold Case as Detective Josie Sutton (if you watched the episode 2-19-06, she was in it).  Here's a link to her filmography from imdb.com:


HELP ME!! I love him, but everyone thinks he's horrible, just because of his age. I can barely stay away from him for a weekend, what will I do when he is gone to College??? Please help... I love him...and he loves me. He said if it wasn't for my mom, he would've already proposed to me! He doesn't want anything nasty. I promise. I love him. Help me.

Sweetheart, I've been in the same boat except I was like 13 and he was 18. You're so very young, and i know you love him and he probably loves you too. But if they catch you even kissing him, he could be put away. Do you know what they do to guys like that in prison? Hopefully you don't. Listen honey, I know you want to be with him forever but trust me in that you're going to get older, your tastes are going to change, you have your whole life ahead of you, and it's not fair to him to make him wait. I had the same situation, and here I am, 7 years later, getting married to the most perfect guy in the world. It took me so long to realize what I wanted in a life partner, but I found it. And the guy I was in love with got married and had a beautiful family. So it all worked out and it can for you too. I'm sure he'll understand.\nBest of luck to you hon.


God - that reads a lot worse than I mean it to. A friend of mine says you should tip a midget less, since they do less stuff than a full-sized stripper. I think this is insane, but then again - I don't go to strip clubs.

I think it depends on the effort they put into it.  Its good to know that people care about this issue. lol.

When I open up the computer, it doesn't boot up, it says "IDE Installation Drive Error, change the stand alone slave drive to master". How do I fix this problem? I have 2 drives, 1 slave 1 master but I do not know how to fix it

pull both drives. first to the new drive. on the end where the cables go you should have an area with some pens like this\n:::: and one should have a shunt{which ties two pens toghther} on it. look on the top of the drive and you should see a diagram of this. they should say something like this cs for cable select ma for master sl for slave.  now move the shunt to slave position. on the other drive do the same except set it to master or master with slave present. put them back in with the old drive at the end of the cable and the new {slave} in the middle ...turn it on see if it don't work right now!


My current boyfriend and I have been together for a little over two months now.  We are so in love (you can read my 360 to see whats up) and are completely happy with one another.  However, my family and him do not get along AT ALL!!!  He was on his way to moving to Portland when we met and decided to stay for me.  Since then we have only grown closer and truly feel this was "meant to be".  I have always lived here and my fam does also.  I have a son that is close to my family yet is now very close with my significant other.  He is talking about adopting him and we are his family.  He now wants to continue on his move to Portland yet wants my son and I to join him and start a family.  My family has not been supportive of any decision I make for myself, yet are very soft hearted and I know this will hurt them.  I love this man so really, should I allow anything to stop me from beginning on my dreams of my own family?

Now i'm not going to call you crazy but please listen up. This is not a world you should trust, meaning there are alot of cooks out there who is willing and able to take advantage of your love for them. Why don't you wait about a year, have patience, and see where God wants to take you. You have a soul responsibility to your son, and taking him on a dangerous journey is not very wise. You going alone is not wise in itself so putting your son a risk for something terrible to happen is even worse. Love conquers all but as it says in Pr 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of FOOLS is deceit. Don't be decieved into something that might not be meant to be and might not be God's will for you and your sons life. Seek the wisdom and instruction of the Lord if you believe. You have only known him for two months and you are quickly and foolishly running off to another state with him. Is this because you have a dream for your son to have a father and you to have family, well let it be done right not foolishly. Take the step to saying I will go with you but not now. Wait about a year or even two, and see if he still loves you then, see what kind of person he really is. Then  see after that if he will marry you. If so then you know you are on your way to having that family but my best advice to you is seek the kingdom of God first and all of these things shall be added unto you. Make sure you are equally yoked, meaning you must have the same beliefs in God and are both saved. If that's not the case than it will not work, trust  me on this! Do you know for sure what he believes as far as God and salvation, marriage? Do you know for sure what he does for a living? have you done a back ground check on him? Give me his name and I can do it for you email me privately. It's for your and your son's saftey. Do yo know his history and full personality? Do you know his family and have you talked to any of them? Is he controlling? Do you know what he likes and don't like? Do you know his dating history? Most of these you probably believe you know or don't know yet but are serious things you need to consider when leaving your safety zone and your family. They might be on to something so talk to them. Parents often times can sense danger of there child. please email me. I am very concerned for you saftey and your sons. \nsincerely yours, Godly Woman

If you do, are the ghosts trying to send messages or just floating around lost?  What's your opinion?

Oh yes! having gypsy in my family and my blood I'm a really superstious person. That's what my mom says, she not superstious. But yes I do believe in them. Some maybe your guardian angel, others are just lost.


Trying to purchase about 100 url's and before i lay down the $$$ I want to know what the best strategy is?  \n-Best practices, or where is the best place to purchse the URLs.\n-long vs short\n-best cost \n-worth buying .uk or .ca? etc.

If you are buying URLs for resale, it would depend on "to whom" you wish to sell.\n\nIf you are buying URLs for your own use - for your own business -- consider the following:\n\nSelecting short, easy to remember URLS are best\n\nAvoid difficult to spell URLs\n\nAvoid dashes, underlines or other additions that require you to say "that's website (spelled w-e-b-s-i-t-e) for you (spelled with the number four and the letter U) dot com. If you have to spell it out or explain it, it's all wrong.\n\nYour URL should contain at least one of your key terms for the planned site more if possible (without sacrificing brevity).\n\nSomething Catchy that "sticks" is best -- especially if it helps brand your site.\n\nDo market research to be sure that there aren't other URLs and business names out there that are too close to your own.\n\nGrab the .com, the .net and the .org for any primary URLs you plan to use, grab the other extensions as you have time, money and the desire.\n\nBuy at www.godaddy.com -- they have a great price, a good, easy-to-use management panel and offer excellent customer service when needed. (I recommend GoDaddy to all my clients for this reason).


I think It Should an bring jobs back home!!!!!!!!!!

If Americans would only wise up to the inbalence of imports vs Exports we are importing way to much and from country's that buy little in return, what kinda global benifit business plan is that? one where USA comes out short! Boycott all products for China,Japan,Indoneasia,India Etc they must buy more from us then we from them to win the economic battle! It is that simple or you get your butt kicked look at Detroit!Hell ya we need to bring back manufactoring base here and pay workers wages that are prosperous. exterminate the nay sayers who want it all for their greedy old money asses!


Thomas Arnold (search about him if you don't know who he is) said:\n"We have never heard about any attempt to compel Non-Muslim \nparties to adopt Islam or about any organized persecution aiming at exterminating Christianity. If the Caliphs had chosen one of these plans, they would have wiped out Christianity as easily as what happened to Islam during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain; by the same method which Louis XIV followed to make Protestantism a creed whose \nfollowers were to be sentenced to death; or with the same ease of keeping the Jews away from Britain for a period of three hundred fifty years." \n\nAnd the funny Pat Robertson while brainwashing (or entertaining) the audience, said completely the opposite (check his site, no space here to paste what he said.)\n\nNow who would you believe? The man who called to assasinate a latin american president (and has his own milk protein brand.. hehehe)? Or a man honoured in history?\nPat shares his view with many others!!

In my opinion, Spongebob Squarepants is smarter, braver, and more intellectual than ANY Christian evangelist.


science hasnt proven the bible wronge. the bible didnt mention everything.( ex there could be aliens).and why do people think the bible contradicts itself. it dont it is just diffent accounts of the same thing. and science has had to redefine itself often to it is not always right and even when it is it dosnt always contreadict the bible. what is wronge with people thinking that  science versus bible cannot have eny common ground. have these people even realy read the bible.and how do we know that carbon dateing is right and the big bang is rediculouse ( if it happened onece it can happen again and if science knows how it happened why dont they do a smaller version ) and if we come from monkeys then what made evolution stop. the monkeys of today and 2hundred years ago didnt turn human.  and evolution of animals can be true and still not prove the bible wronge. it is just the concept of monkeys turning into humans and where did those monkeys come from it it is true. the big bang?

Science does not concern itself with religion, it can make no statements about it. \nScience proved much more useful than religion in inventing cars, computers, refrigerators, washing machines, and all those other gimmicks which I am sure you use a lot every day. Not to forget that I much rather go to a scientificly trained doctor than to a religiously trained priest if I am sick. \n\nFrom the general idea of your question I think that you don't understand science correctly. No scientist would claim oder has ever claimed that monkeys (at least you should say apes there) will evolve into humans, especially not in as short a time as 200 years. Maybe you should study science first (you can regard it as "know your enemy" if you like) and draw your conclusions afterwards.

I thought I heard recently that the ski-jumpers in the Olympics covered the length of 2 football fields (200 yards), and that the people doing the Luge went approximately 90mph - but now neither of those claims sound quite right to me (?).

Ski Jumping: The world record for ski jumping is 186m (610ft) and was set by Mike Holland of Norwich, Vermont, United States in Plancia on March 15th 1985.\nLuge: It depends on the type of track and the person luging but the general suggestion is about 100 - 130kph.


The only thing I can think of is that my AMD 64 bit processor might be at fault since I am running a 32 bit operating system?  It is a 3000+ running on a LAN PARTY motherboard with a gig of ram.  The game it usually freezes on is Albatross 18, but it happens randomly.  Task manager keeps it pegged at 100% with the only process using any resources as the Idle Process.

It has nothing to do with the CPU. 64bit chips are fully backwards compatiable.\nthe LAN PARTY boards are usually top of the line ones also.\n\nI would think 2 things: make sure ALL of your drivers are up-to-date (video, motherboard(it's a DFI), sound, etc).\n2. upgrade your RAM. If you don't have enough, you'll have to use your pagefile (that's on your Hard drive) and that slows it down a lot and if you're hard drive is being taxed too much, that could be the cause of the crash.


Should myspace be blamed for not monitering what teens put on their profiles, or should parents be blamed for no monitering their children?

Parents raise their children, NOT myspace, or anyone else, for that matter.


Is there any site on Internet which offers information (summary, character analysis, themes, motifs, etc.) about "The Virgin and the Gypsy" by D.H. Lawrence? I don't want reviews of the movie, only the book.


Even though they are not really interested in the guy?

Because sometimes they do not want the guy, but they don't want anyone else to have him either.  Some are interested in him and do not want to admit it.

If the blood is bright red, it probably means that you have a "fissure"...a slight tear in the bowl or anus.  If however the blood is more "brownish" and less bright in colour, it could be much more serious and you should get to a Dr straight away as this usually means internal bleeding of either the stomache or small or large intestine.


I need to find a picture of one for my daughter for school

Short answer: It's a spinning jump. It's the only one where the skater starts out going in a forward direction.\n\n\nLong answer:\nFrom the Wikipedia article:\nThe Axel is a jump in figure skating, named after the Norwegian skater Axel Paulsen (1855-1938) who was the first to perform it in 1882. A single Axel consists of 1 and 1/2 rotations in the air. For a jump with counterclockwise rotation, it has a takeoff from the left forward outside edge and a landing on the right back outside edge; this can be reversed for a clockwise jump. The Axel can also be done as a double jump with 2 1/2 rotations, or as a triple with 3 1/2 rotations. No skater has yet accomplished a quadruple Axel.

It doesn't sound like you invested too much time in this guy. The best thing to do is just move on. I'm sure there are many guys out there who would put more effort into getting to know you and having a meaningful relationship.


Because he wasn't paying full and complete attention to his surroundings, as a hunter (or anyone discharging a firearm) should.\n\nADDITION (to respond to some other comments): \nI'm not aware of anyone who is seriously suggesting that he shot his friend intentionally.  However, saying it was an accident does not mean that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it.  The NRA's safe hunting rules state: \n\n"Know your target and what is beyond.  Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second."\n\nThis is a rule that was not followed by Cheney. While it was indeed an accident, it was one caused by carelessness on the part of both Cheney and Whittington.

Was anemic prior to hysterectomy, but now am post surgery since summer.  Colonoscopy was clean, nothing scary, just anemic.  Whats so bad about that?  Seriously.  Will be working on diet/ nourishment, etc.(Even though slightly overweight!)  Am 43.  Thanks.

anemia CAN be dangerous if it is longlasting.  Please go online and check this out.  Yahoo answers is a first step, but go elsewhere.  And see a nutritionist

I had broke up with my boyfriend about a month ago.and i still kindof  like him.But the thing is that i think he still likes me but my friends say that he doesn't.and now i'm with his best friend and i feel really bad about it.but i don't want to break up with hm because i really like him.so what do i do?

You can't have both boys. (well, I suppose you could, but it wouldn't work) \n\nI'd say, since you're with his best friend, your chances are slim to none in getting him back.

i think the best way is not to ask her if she is ready for sex but to take her down and kiss her on the lips then you can continue with the other parts i dont think she will refuse you.try it now.


Sorry I asked this question before but it was misunderstood. Check for example the site http://jamaat.net/deedat.htm or http://www.ahmed-deedat.co.za . They use the Bible as the source to criticize Christianity, while the other sites that criticize Islam use "notions" and "events" and historical scense that might be false! Can u tell what I'm trying to say? (Or the people who disagreed are pretending they don't udnerstand?) When you decide to compare, use a Book for a Book, and not weird sources! Agree?\n\nAll religions contain fanatics and bad representatives, so don't you think the best way to tell is to compare in a consistent manner?

Don't Muslims say that the Koran has to be read in Arabic and that translations don't count?\n\nThat may be a reason.


asking if some one could help me re:  READING Czechoslovakia and all I got were smart remarks as for one answer no I do not smoke pot I am a grandmother & mother and you are a ass and you know who you are.=no answers please I won't be back to read them.you people should get a life and do something good for the world and not just sit and make mean and stupid remarks.like you know all about god, were did you copy all that junk from I AM SURE YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT OUT ON YOUR OWN YOU ARE TO STUPID FOR THAT.

Gee Came across your question. I would not be one too be Insulting. I have more fun trying to give real answers for the people that ask. So far on cyber space I find you will have a few Idiots that can get your Dander to fly. But after you have I think about it. All it is are words on a screen. The people who do the insults are short lived online they tend to be the Drunk punks that can not be that way in public. Due to their fear of being physically Harmed. Don't give up on the Fun you can have here. I know how to Get under the stupid peoples skin when I feel like having fun.


There were two men standing on a street. The one says to the other, "I have 3 daughters, the product of their ages is 36. What is the age of the OLDEST daughter?" \n\nThe second guy says, "I need more information." So, the first guy says, "The sum of their ages is equal to the address of the house across the street." \n\nThe second guy looks at the address and says, "I still need more information." So, the first guy says, "My oldest daughter wears a red dress."

The age of the OLDEST daughter should be 9.\n\nLet: \n\na= oldest daughter's age\nb and c = the two other daughters ages\nd = address of house across street  \n\nIf a*b*c=36, and a+b+c=d  then\n\nall possible ages combinations are:\n\n36, 1, 1   sum = 38\n18, 2, 1   sum = 21\n12, 3, 1   sum = 16\n9, 4, 1    sum = 14\n9, 2, 2    sum = 13\n6, 6, 1    sum = 13\n6, 3, 2    sum = 12\n4, 3, 3    sum = 10\n\nI used the logic of the Math Tutor website below.  If the guy says that the address across the street doesnt offer enough information, then it means that the confusion results from two of the sums having the identical address (13).  \n\nLooking at both of those sums (9+2+2, and 6+6+1), we infer that BECAUSE the man said he HAS an OLDEST daughter, the 6+6+1 possibly is excluded, because that would mean he had TWO equally oldest daughters.\n\nThe correct answer, then, would be 9.

I have read all the phony ways online but just wondering if someone is able to get into your email without putting a keylogger on your PC. I mean what would they have to go thru to get into your email account??

Hackers have used automated means to enter password protected areas for as long as there have been passwords.  Some of these are very elaborate.\nThe basic method these days is to web search the individual and gather information about the user and then use automated means to suggest word most likely to be used.\nThe single most reason for most on-line accounts to be entered by others, however is someone has either seen the password entered or found it written down.


If my children go swimming in a lake on a "warm, spring day", and the water is still a little cold (for me anyway), can it be harmful to them for me to let them swim anyway? What are the dangers of it?

i think water even in the upper 60s is safe. did it all of the time as a kid. feels cold but you get used to it and its not so cold as to make you sick.


There are three ways that thermal energy can be transmitted. (1) By radiation of photons. The photons are absorbed by materials and transfer their kinetic energy to the materials. (2) By convection in liquids and gases. The molecules of the fluid have kinetic energy depending upon their temperature. This energy of motion is transferred  to adjacent molecules.  Also as fluids heat up their density decreases and they rise against gravity in a motion called convection.  (3) By conduction in materials.  As the molecules of the material heat up, their kinetic energy of motion is transferred to adjacent molecules by collision.


in an experiment, 180 g sodium chloarte is heated ubtil completely decomposed,and100g of sodiumchlorate is produced.The only other productis oxygen.If 90g sodiumchlorat is heated til completely decomposed, which of these is true: (A) 40g oxygen produced, (B) 80g oxygen produced (C) The mass ratio od sodiumchloride to oxygen is 180/100 (D)The mass ratio of sodiumchloride to oxygen is 100/40 (E)The mass ratio of oxygen to sodium chloride is50/40.  Explain ur  answer.

80g of oxygen was produced because that is the difference between the beginning mass and the ending mass. mass is conserved during the reaction, it needs to balance.


looking fortitle18 section1302 and 1342 of us postal and lottery laws


We originally met online, then began phoning each other and that's how it's been for almost two years now. He SAYS he's coming to New York in March but we've been through that already a year ago and he never came. Can this really be considered a relationship?

Its a relationship but not the kind that it seems that u want from this person. Maybe u should try dating people but keep talking to him.. if and when he decides to come around thats great but if not, your life has gone on and you are not stuck on hold.


Isn't that how things go? If I just stop feeling like a desperate loser and pretend I don't care anymore will love find me?

do not just wait there for love you have to start enjoying your life and if you start loving yourself and eveyone in our world then love will find you\ngive love and get love that is the way it works


We ve been dating for 6 months. Ive given up friends for him because he doesnt like the idea of hanging out with them.

Don't try to think on how you can get rid of him just let go of him. and try to find another guy who's more deserving than him.


I have a boyfriend and I amtalking to him on the net but as if I was another person.... he wants to meet my impersonation and he said he was alone with no girl... yet he is in fact my boyfriend what do I do if he's up to meeting me but he doesn't know it still I feel like he's cheating on me...

"Boyfriend" doesn't mean he can't meet other people and maybe dump you for someone else.  So if he likes your impersonation, maybe you can work that into your own persona instead of calling him a cheater.


I'm getting into Bible History. Genesis 19 speaks of Zoar. Did it get destroyed too?

Apparently not. Sodom and Gomorrah were destoyed between verses 22 and 30.\n\nGenesis 19:21-22, 30\n21 He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken. \n22 "Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar. \n\n30 Lot went up from Zoar, and stayed in the mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he stayed in a cave, he and his two daughters. \n\nI suppose it could be argued that Lot left Zoar from fear that it too would be destoyed, but there is no clear indication of this, and there are some major problems with this assumption.\n1) Lot was promised that Zoar would be spared.\n2) There is no clear indication WHAT Lot was afraid of (He could also have been afraid of the people of Zoar, or of any number of other things.)\n3) Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed WHILE Lot was in Zoar.\n4) The name chage to Zoar. Prior to this, the name of the town was Bela (destruction,) (Gen. 14:2,8), after this, it was called Zoar (little, of no importance).

You know when you’ve been cloud watch and create images of things that you see from passing clouds.

I once saw a cloud in the shape of a giant puffy-eyed fish.  It was swimming through a blue ocean sky, and proceeded to consume smaller clouds in the shapes of the typical popcorn kernell, a bear face, and a cowboy boot.  It took about 5 minutes for all of this to happen, and then the giant puffy-eyed fish turned into the shape of something I can only describe as a radioactive bamboo shoot.


We all understand how much you detest the current administration and we understand that you feel everything is wrong with everything the President has done and will do.  Without pointing these shortcomings out again, what is your answer to the problem in Iraq and the war on terror?

Well--it's nice to know you've got an open mind.  I'm sure it's easy for you to think all liberals feel as you suggest, since you likely feel the exact opposite.\n\nFirst, let's try and keep Iraq and terrorism separate.  I think it may be the single biggest bill of goods Americans have been sold by the administration.  I am 100% behind our nation's effort to fight terrorism, provided we do it in a way that upholds the best traditions of our nation.  We simply cannot sink to the level of others just because "that's the way the game is played".  We cannot break laws and trample on people's rights just because it's easier that way.\n\nAs for Iraq, it seems obvious to me that our invasion had NOTHING to do with terrorism.  Unfortunately, we're in a mess there that we created.  Am I glad Saddam is out?  Of course.  Do I think a democratically-elected government in Iraq is important?  Darn right.  Am I proud we were able to bring it about?  Sure.  But America cannot just decide that a nation isn't operating the way we'd like and then invade it because it's the right thing to do.  It's just like the whole NSA spying business. I doubt there is a single American who doesn't believe they should be checking out suspicious individuals.  But bypassing legal DUE PROCESS for any reason is not the way we do it here--at least it shouldn't be.  It's no wonder Republicans in Congress are starting to back away from Bush on this.\n\nIt looks to me we are stuck in Iraq until we can make it safe enough to leave.  Despite many American's anger at our presence there, you will likely find grudging support for a logical exit.  I'm proud of the young men and women who are there putting their lives on the line--and many losing them--in service of our nation.  I just pray that their sacrifices haven't been in vain.


Do those mailing services{ work at home} schemes really work. Or are they just a scam. Can you really make money stuffing envelopes?

Sounds like a scam.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?


Wouldn't it be justifiable to charge a little amount of money for high school students, i mean besides getting it from taxes??

They are free because of the taxes. What's wrong with that?


I know very littel about my family tree. It would be very interesting to know why there are so many musician in my family. How about you?

I guess it gives me a sense of identity in addition to my more individualized sense.  It's nice to know what countries my family came from a long time ago because then I feel connected to those countries.  The past always illuminates the present, and knowing what little I do know about my ancestors just feels important somehow.


job after retire as maybe, {running backs coach} ?

From what it sounds like he has no interest in coaching anytime soon, that does not mean he has no interest in a front office job with the Steelers. I think it has more to do with the dignity he was treated with allowing him to retire on his own terms and allowing him the oppurtunity to help his team (watch how the 49er's treated Rice or Montana for comparison)


I understand why we can't elect or vote solely on popular vote.

I think it is completely outdated for an era in which information spreads so quickly and easily. THe Electoral College was envisioned for an agrarian society in which the masses were not "trustworthy" enough to select a president. The electors were supposed to actually select the president. Nowadays, the electoral college is a rubberstamp that could go awry. See also: Bush/Gore 2000 election


Realistically, I would say China looks like a good bet. I want it to be America, but I would be lying if I said that China won't eventually surpase the US.

if u have any idea pls inform me as soon as possible. If u have some ideas on the affirmative u can also write it down. Any information connects to the title is needed.

opposition arguments:\n\n1) Television itself isn't the problem. Calling TV the problem is like blaming food for obesity. It's twinkies and ice cream that make people fat, not carrots and celery. Likewise, it's sit-coms, cartoons, and music videos that make kids dumb, not PBS shows like "Nova" or "Sesame Street". The problem isn't television, it's bad TV programming.\n\n2) The word "robs" implies that television is taking away their intelligence and imagination. WRONG! The kids are giving it away by watching TV for hours at a time---no one is twisting their arm.\n\n3) TV gives kids open access to a universe of information. It makes them way more knowledgable about the world (or at least the world as TV represents it). How could having greater access to information make you dumb? AFF is just criticizing the kind of intelligence the kids are gaining, but that's not the resolution.\n\nJust a few thoughts off the top...good luck.


An opion written by a memeber of the maj. who agrees w/the result but disagrees with the reasoning of the maj. is call...?

Concurring opinion.  \n\nA written opinion by an appellate judge or justice in which the author agrees with the decision of the court but normally states reasons different from those in the court opinion as the basis for his or her decision.\n\nThere are two kinds of concurring. A simple concurring opinion is when some justices join the opinion of the court but also has something else to add. Concurring in judgment means that they agree with the judgement but not the reasoning.


do you know if he likes you? if not, u r like me!

i kind of still like this guy, we flirt a lot, but nothing has come out of it yet


We all make mistakes. Even the Pegans say of Christianity that we are the only ones who shoot and kill our wounded and yet God demands Holiness. Yikes! So when you do make a mistake because you are human, how do you handle it when the casualty of "friendly fire!" It hurts!!!! It almost destroyed my relationship with God and then it almost drove me out of church! As Jesus said, "You brood of vipers!" "A stiffknecked people!!!". I hate that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I oppose it with such ferver and passion. I usually react myself like a worior in battle and fight back when its not my fight and usually end up making the matter worse! I HATE LEGALISM WITH A PASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR\nTHERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO LOVE IN IT WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you mean:\n\n"O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" Matthew 12:24\n\nor\n\n"Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye" Acts 7:51\n\nMaybe you have such a problem with legalistic people because you see everyone who doesn't agree with you as legalistic.\nMaybe you should start truly learning the Word of God. I would suggest starting with scriptures on repentance. I also believe the following verse would benefit you greatly if you  will accept what it says and live it. \n"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Matthew 7:5 \nI have read many of your posts. Anyone who goes and reads from your profile will see you need divine intervention and much more.\nBest of luck to you in becoming the person you are destined to be once you are able to get "you" out of the way. \nI am praying for you.

Last year my gift for my dear girlfriend was a tin of shrimps and she was a bit disappointed...Now I'm thinking of giving her a toilet-roll with cute yellow smiles...But I'm afraid she won't appreciate it again!!! What should I do???

What are you... gift impaired? Go out for dinner and a movie,or give her flowers,or take her on a picnic, or if nothing else, at least get her a card. There are any # of things you can do. You don't have to spend a lot of money, but give it some thought....  maybe you could cook a nice dinner for her?


Recently i started playing this song on my piano and it is beautiful. And this song is composed by someone very famous, but i can't figure it out.\nPlease people listen to this song, and tell me who composed it and what this song is called!\n\nThe link is:  http://www.sendspace.com/file/l1boga\n\nthanx

i guess your upload to sendspace failed, try it again.


It really seems to be up in the air right now.

Right now the 3 favorites are JJ Redick, Adam Morrison and Rudy Gay. I think Redick will likely be the first pick because he is very well known and very talented.\n\nAdam Morrison is also a possiblity because he is always reliable, but the fact that he has diabetes will definitely make some teams reluctant to pick him.\n\nRudy Gay is the best all-around player in college hoops, as he puts up consistent numbers in every category. He has a lot of hype, so if he continues to live up to it at UCONN, I would not be shocked if he is taken #1 overall.

Hi, \n\nyou should direct tyour question to the SCORE offices.  They are up to date on any grant money that may be available to start a community outreach housing program.  Good Luck


My answer is no but I was curious if anyone actually does think he is doing a good job. I havent met one person yet who came out and said he is a great president. It amazes me that he got elected not only once but twice. The people who voted for him need to take a long look in the mirror and start reading some books to educate themselves.

Remember when George Bush was a moron? A poor student who spent most of his life in a substance abusing haze, who cost America billions in the Savings and Loan bailout, whose only foreign policy experience was the “It’s a Small World” ride at Disneyland, and who stole the presidency despite forming sentences like the kid from “Deliverance”? Up until September 10 2001, Bush was the favorite whipping-boy of talk show hosts and columnists. But, in the wake of the Al Qaeda attacks, somehow that same George W. Bush became a hero. And a recent poll found that a surprising majority of Americans think George Bush is doing a good job as president. A good job? In the 3rd year of his presidency the US economy is still in tatters while he runs around touting a foreign policy that can be summed up as “Hulk Smash”, and people consider that a good job?\nMany people will tell you he's doing a good job because of his leadership after September 11. Huh? Why do they think Bush did a good job after September 11? Because he publicly led America’s response to the attacks? He’s the president, what other option did he have? Curl up in a fetal position and drool like Ozzy Osbourne? Hell, maybe if he got in a plane like Bill Pullman in Independence Day and actually joined the battle, fine, but giving him high marks for making speeches and waving his fists is like giving a student straight As just for showing up to class.\n\nMaybe they think Bush deserves extra credit for ordering post-911 military retaliation against those deemed culpable. *sarcasm*Wow, what a bold, groundbreaking move. Much as I supported the action, an American President ordering a military response is like the guy at the drive-thru asking if you want fries with your order. It’s the most basic, perfunctory function of the job.\n\nAnd what did he do after he took out the Taliban? Help keep Afghanistan from the clutches of nasty local warlords and gangsters? Start to build bridges with the anti-western world? Or maybe even pay attention to the continuing-to-falter American economy? No – he looked for someone else’s ass to kick. Bush with his military is like a boy who’s just discovered his penis – he can’t stop playing with it. After all, the War on Terror distracted people from realizing Bush was the same election-stealing, silver-spoon moron he was on September 10th, so why not keep it going?\n\nAnd so George W rooted around in his dad’s war-chest and pulled out some old scripts, and once again Iraq was the enemy. No question, Saddam Hussein is a world-class tyrant, torturer and oppressor of his own people. You’d think it would be easy to find a reason to take him out. But in the months since Bush focused his monkey-like attention on this shiny object, he still hasn’t been able to convince anyone but his cronies that war against Iraq would actually provide any benefit. It would de-stabilize an already volatile region, engender greater hatred of the west among Middle-Eastern nations, seriously damage any existing good relations with Arab countries, and likely only result in greater terrorism against the west. But Bush keeps stamping his feet and demanding his war, like a 2 year-old in a Toys R Us aisle screaming for a new BeyBlade.\n\nAnd that’s what really puts the lie to the notion that Bush is doing a good job – after months of trying, he actually has fewer people convinced the US should war with Iraq. If he was a halfway competent President, he could have cooked-up some decent Gulf of Tonkin, tossing babies from incubators propaganda by now. In fact, Bush is such a lousy president he can’t even convince Americans to go to war, which is, let’s face it, like trying to keep a dog from licking itself.\n\nI don’t really blame Americans. Their media’s become an extension of Ari Fleischer, they’re scared, and they want to believe – no, need to believe – that the guy in charge of their safety knows what he’s doing. It’s like th


I've tried dowsing rods to get answers to questions of love. How does it work? I've also tried pendulums for getting answers but I think it's my own ideomotor response. I can get any answer of my choice. WHAT IS THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND THE WORKING OF DOWSING RODS? WHAT IS THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF THE FORCE WHICH CAUSES A DOWSING/DIVINE ROD TO MOVE? What do YOU think?

As a person who's gone through a rigorous science education, and I think for the scientific community at large, when I say that I believe there is no principle behind rods or pendulums - In fact, I did read somewhere that diving rods were tested, diviners hired to try and find water tables that scientests had discovered with other means, and the success rate was very low, not much different then trying to find the water at random.\n\nI guess there's a perception that these things work if you make a prediction/guess as to where water is, and it turns out to be right, you'll believe there's something to it. \n\nYou can read the Wikipedia article on divination:\n\nand I just found the article I remember reading that disputes divining rods (second link):


What does it do, is it important, what does it improve, and what would be good for a Toshiba Satellite M35X

Short for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, and pronounced as separate letters, PCMCIA is an organization consisting of some 500 companies that has developed a standard for small, credit card-sized devices, called PC Cards. Originally designed for adding memory to portable computers, the PCMCIA standard has been expanded several times and is now suitable for many types of devices. There are in fact three types of PCMCIA cards. All three have the same rectangular size (85.6 by 54 millimeters), but different widths \nType I cards can be up to 3.3 mm thick, and are used primarily for adding additional ROM or RAM to a computer. \nType II cards can be up to 5.5 mm thick. These cards are often used for modem and fax modem cards. \nType III cards can be up to 10.5 mm thick, which is sufficiently large for portable disk drives. \nAs with the cards, PCMCIA slots also come in three sizes: \n\nA Type I slot can hold one Type I card \nA Type II slot can hold one Type II card or one Type I card \nA Type III slot can hold one Type III card or any combination of two Type I or II cards. \nIn general, you can exchange PC Cards on the fly, without rebooting your computer. For example, you can slip in a fax modem card when you want to send a fax and then, when you're done, replace the fax modem card with a memory card.


i need to find one in Atlanta, Georgia or any where in the state of Georgia. plz help me out.

try calling 1800-dentist   my friend said they're pretty good.


I know a guy, he likes me, but i know him for like about two months, but later i said he wasn't what i was looking for. Then the next day he asked me why, but i ignored him. For like a while later, we just walk past each other, we didn't talk or anything else. Now i don't know why, but i just want to talk to him, and go out with him. But i don't know what to do. I lost his number, but i don't want to go up to his face and talk to him. What could i do to talk to him? But i felt embarrassed cuz at first i said that i didn't like him, but now i want to talk to him again.

ohh ohhh well send him an email or have an acquaintance of both of you spread the word

I mean someone who will like the guy for who he is and not who he knocks out or how much money he makes from it

If it is a successful boxer, it is more likely that he will meet more women that want to be with him for his success or money. However, he still has as much chance as normal people to meet a woman who likes him for who he is personally. Unfortunately, many women who really care for a man (myself included) would not be able to see him in the boxing ring without being very worried, so they might be turned away from him a bit. I watch boxing, but a lot of the time my favorites (or the boxers I would like to meet) are not the most successful or the most famous. There are women out there who are willing to use a guy, but they'll do that regardless of profession.


Its a little of both. Genetics and envionment. Some studies have shown there is an actual homosexual gene that is passed on only through the mother (X chromosome). Even though you have the gene, doesn't make you homosexual. You need to be put in the correct enviroment. And there are epigenetic (if you don't know this word. look it up on www.wikipedia.com)factors also.

Surely. Your window manager does not depend on Linux version/family. If your XFree86 or X.org is already up and running, you just need to install Gnome itself and to change your .xinitrc:\n% echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc\nThen, type: \n% startx\n-- and GNOME will start.


i can not install usb scanner . my winXP not recognize it.

Hi there,\n\nI think Windows XP mostly recognizes a device if it is connected. Which service pack are you using?\n\nThere can be 2 reasons for your problem - Either hardware problem or Software (drivers) problem. Let us analyze them.\n\nDid you get any drivers CD along with your device? If so, then after you connect your device, put the CD and install the drivers for your product.\n\nIf you didn't get any drivers CD, then connect the device, and restart your system once. As soon as the desktop screen opens, wait for the system to identify your device. If it doesn't, try the following-\n\nRight click on my computer, choose 'manage' from the drop-down list, then go to 'Device manager', then go to 'Universal Serial Bus conductors.' It shows you all the USB devices connected to your systen. So do that and uninstall the USB which you connected your scanner. Then restart your system. Now, when the desktop screen appears, if it says it recognised a USB drive, then you can be sure you have no problem with your USB, but a problem with your drivers.(I'll tell you how to download drivers later). So yeah, If it doesn't recognize the USB, then you can be sure there is no problem with your device, and you have to change the USB hardware.(It is generally very cheap)\n\nSo now, If you figure out you have problem with drivers, then go to \n\nhttp://www.scanner-drivers.com/\n\nor  http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=scanner+drivers\n\nAnd install the drivers and try reconnecting your device. Even then If it doesn't get identified, get your product verified by a qualified technician. (I am assuming your operating system is perfect).\n\nSo hope this helps. If not, please feel free to inform me. I'd be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

The short answer is 'No'. I think it is hard to define what you put as "Anglo-American" powers.  Do you mean the West, or specifically England and the United States?  In any event, we must realize that neither the West nor the Islamic world is a monolithic entity.  There are widely varrying strains and currents throughout both.  From a strategic perspective, the US is unrivaled.  From an ideological perspective, there are ongoing shifts toward conservativism and fundementalism in both the West and the Arab world.  These shifts are largely reactionary to the rise of globalism.  Ultimately the historical trend toward openness and integration, driven by a global economy, will overcome zenophobic impulses in both the West and the entire Islamic world.


im a student of bangalore university.im studying my final sem m.sc.,biotechnology.

One of the most obvious differences between the DNA of different species is the number of chromosomes.  If you have intact cells, you can do a DNA smash and stain and see how many chromosomes there are - for example dogs have 78 chromosomes, while humans have only 46.   Molecularly, there is no difference, besides a few genes which differ in sequence.

You will be picked as the Best Answer in no more than 2 days if you're joke is the best.

I have two: I love the second one.\nJoke #1\nA blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"\n\nIn a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something."\n\nOur bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5" pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"\n\nThe blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."\n-----------\n Joke #2\nTwo women are new arrivals at the pearly gates and are\n comparing stories on how they died.\n\n 1st woman: I froze to death.\n\n 2nd woman: How horrible!\n\n 1st woman: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the\n cold, I began to get warm and sleepy, and finally died a\n peaceful death. What about you?\n\n 2nd woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected\n that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to\n catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by\n himself in the den watching TV.\n\n 1st woman: So what happened?\n\n 2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there\n somewhere that I started running all over the house\n looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down\n into the basement. Then I went through every closet and\n checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had\n looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that\n I just keeled over with a heart attack and died!\n\n 1st woman: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer. We'd\n both still be alive.

SEE HE TALKS TO OTHER GIRLS ALL THE TIME & HE TELLS ME THEY HANG ALL OVER HIM & HE THINKS HE IS JUST COOL. SHOULD I BRAKE UP WITH HIM OR NOT????????? I TRY TO TRUST HIM BUT IT IS TOO HARD TO TRUST HIM SOME OF THE TIME!!!!!!!! SO WHAT DO I DO??????????????????

If he is constantly flirting with other girls, then it's understandable to be jealous. If you told him you don't like him flirting all the time and he does it anyway, then you should break up with him. He won't stop doing it, and his behavior is making you unhappy.\n\nBUT (and this is a big but) if he is just talking to other girls, you are in the wrong and should try to control your feelings. Boys don't put up with girls telling them who they can and can't talk to or be friends with. You are going to drive him (and many other boys) away. You should try to reevaluate your feelings.

I find it rather difficult to believe, although I have just heard about, I did not read the book.\n\nThe monkeys on many different islands all start within a few days of each other to wash their dirty bananas in water.\n\nAnd they think this idea was spread through psychic powers !?!?!?!\n\nI can't believe this so easily, was it the winter time, did the monkeys do it all along and start to do it again after the water got warm enough in the spring time.\n\nDo monkeys ride on floating leaves to the other islands to spread the idea and the researchers just failed to notice this.\n\nDid the monkeys just figure this out in the one place that the researchers were at but were doing it all along in the other places but the researchers did not notice before.

I have no reason to believe that any of the above is true as you did not cite a source.  However, assuming the above information is correct, it seems quite possible that the monkeys observed the researchers washing fruit and proceeded to imitate them.


CBS does not cater to the australian crowd because CBS does not show episodes of the Crocidile Hunter.


is sustaining the economy more important than building wealth on social status

Wealth should never be redistributed or built by the government for individuals within the society. Each person is responsible for themselves and those within their own family unit.\n\nSo with this in mind, the obvious answer is YES, sustaining the economy is more important than any socialist wealth building programs.


OK, don't think i'm crazy, as a male i love breast..love any size, but they most have med. to big nipples..small nipples are not a turn on to me..My question is to the ladies out there is..when having oral sex with your male partner does a the size of the penis matter?? is small not as much as a turn on, or is big a tunr off? (penis size that is)

I went in for a complete hysterectomy on Nov 28th 05. I've never had any problems getting an IV before or having bloodwork. This was extremely painful. Having breast surgery Feb. 28th and now I'm as nervous about the needles as the surgery. Can anyone offer advice?

It happens to me when I am dehydrated.  Try drinking plenty of water the day before your surgery.  I know you can't drink or eat after midnight the day prior, so try stocking up the day before.  When you have plenty of fluids in your system your veins seem to be stabler and easier to access.  Good luck.


I dated boyfriend X for 4 years and we decided that we were better off just being friends, but what is the easiest way to make this transition?

It's possible to remain friends...  but it may cause problems with men you have future relationships with.\n\nThe transition will be awkward, it's really hard to be lovers one day and not the next - probably best to take it slow, don't see each other too often, talk on the phone or email only for awhile until you're 'over' each other completely.


The boys in my school are always at each others throats about sports and well, they almost come to blows over things!

Well dear the  male ego is the drive that consumes all of us to a degree. \nWe feel very passionate about sports and when someone challanges the passion you have to defend it. SO, in closing let me say yes we do fight more than women, and it isn't always about sports


i used to go out with this guy (it was long distance). and i went out with him for like 3 years!!! and it has almost been 2 years ince we broke up and i still think about him every day! what should i do???


ok so i call the gurl and tell her that i like her as more then just a friend and i ask her how she feels about me and she says right now just friends so i ask is there a chance at all and she says idk ......what does think mean ladies?!?!?

means i don't know, and what she really may mean because most women are deceiving "is stop pressuring me" or "no, I don't want to". Same thing when they say idc which means i don't care.


Mine itch like that too, drives me nuts! Don't put anything in your ear-it could do permanent damage. I doubt it's an ear infection. I haven't found much that helps, but have you ever tried ear candles? (you should be able to find them at any health food type store.)They are awesome! They're hollow, you put it through a pie tin or paper plate, between the burning part & your ear, light it, have someone watch and put it out when it gets too low. It pulls all the ear wax and pollen out of your inner ears.


I am doing a progect for my physed class and I need to know the history of barrel racing. Any info will be helpful. please answer!

Barrel racing, the only official rodeo event for women regularly scheduled at PRCA sanctioned rodeos, pits the rider and horse against the clock. The origin of barrel racing is unsure. It became popular with ranch women and prompted a charter group of 74 members to form the Women's Professional Rodeo Association, which is now affiliated with the PRCA. The rider must complete a cloverleaf pattern with three barrels placed approximately one hundred feet apart. Any other pattern will disqualify the rider, and there is a 5-second penalty for every barrel that is knocked over. Each contestant begins at the starting line and completes a full circle around all three barrels. After turning the third barrel, the horse races to the finish line and the official time is taken. The barrel racers often wear very colorful western outfits, sometimes coordinated with matching leg wraps on their horses. They add a great deal of excitement and pageantry to any rodeo.


This is not enough information. \n\nYou need to supply a salvage value at the end of year 6, or an income stream that goes on forever.\n\nAlso you need to supply the interest rate if you want to know when it breaks even. The other option is to just ask for the IRR, internal rate of return. (this is what the bank would be paying if you opened an account and deposited and took out money as you described)\n\nThe internal rate of return for the project you listed is 0.61% assuming the sixth year payment is the return value and there is then nothing left. If thats the case you should NOT embark on the project as the riskless rate of return (govt bond) is much higher.\n\nIf alternatively you still have the $1,000,000 at the end then the return is 16.55%. Now I would say it has potential as long as the numbers described are not the best case scenarios. If the thing appreciates then even better. It drops to 10% IRR if the end salvage value is about $448,000 just to show where you might consider the cuttoff to be if 10% was a good return for you.


I think they used to, but what happened? I think their the only team in the Big Ten without one. It can't be weather isues because there are teams that are from places with a lot worse weather.

It’s hard to walk through campus these days without thinking of summer. Bascom Hill has become a sea of sunbathers, T-shirts have emerged from their North Face shells and Frisbees fill the streets. It’s inescapable. And with the signs of summer comes another inescapable thought — baseball.\n\nThe Madness of March has run its course, the football team is back on the field for spring workouts, and fans around the country shift their attention from the arena to the ballpark. It’s baseball season.\n\nThe Big Ten is currently four games into its conference schedule, with Illinois and Minnesota tied atop the standings. College baseball is in full swing from Penn State to Iowa, with one notable exception. The University of Wisconsin is the only Big Ten school that does not field a varsity baseball team.\n\nThis is nothing new. Baseball has been relegated to the club ranks at UW for years, and for years campus sports editors have taken up the cause. The Athletic Department is well aware of the situation.\n\nThe powers that be are not on some kind of anti-baseball crusade. They don’t hate baseball or apple pie, and they did not disband the program to promote a hidden softball agenda. Their hands are tied by Title IX, an outdated piece of legislation that has claimed men’s soccer programs throughout the NCAA and all but outlawed men’s volleyball in the Midwest. Barry Alvarez and company undoubtedly want to bring baseball to Madison, but they must navigate through a myriad of economic obstacles to make it happen.\n\nWisconsin is one of just six Big Ten schools to field a men’s hockey team and one of eight to field a men’s soccer team. Only five Big Ten universities offer both. To introduce a varsity baseball program while maintaining both hockey and soccer and keeping funding at its current level for major programs like football and basketball, the Athletic Department will have to get creative.\n\nThe move carries economic and political implications which cannot be overlooked. Changing the athletic budget is no small matter, and Alvarez must not do so without considering the impact it will have on everyone involved. Title IX complicates the situation, forcing universities to abide by an artificial financial standard rather than allocating funding freely to fit the needs of its teams.\n\nEstablishing a baseball team will require adept manipulation of funding and a measure of compromise. To start a baseball team, Wisconsin must either scale back funding for existing men’s programs or increase funding for women’s programs.\n\nThe move may involve either adding women’s teams or cutting men’s teams. The drawbacks of both are clear. The former will increase the total budget of the Athletic Department, and the money must come from somewhere. The latter will end a men’s sports program, which is a drawback in itself.\n\nTitle IX has placed the Athletic Department in a difficult position. There is no easy solution here. But it can be done.\n\nEvery other school in the Big Ten has found a way to support a baseball team without running afoul of Title IX. Five have managed to do so without sacrificing hockey or soccer. Each school has taken a different approach, but one way or another they have all worked it out.\n\nPurdue, Illinois and Northwestern opted to streamline their athletic departments. While all three found room for baseball, the universities each support fewer than 20 teams. None of the three schools fields a men’s hockey team, and only Northwestern offers men’s soccer.\n\nOhio State and Penn State took the opposite approach. These schools decided to expand their operations to accommodate Title IX, pumping extra funds into the women’s programs to allow them a proportional increase in men’s funding. The remaining six Big Ten schools fall within these two extremes.\n\nOhio State boasts the Big Ten’s most bloated athletic department, with 36 teams (17 men’s teams, 19 women’s).

Our school has these things called 'bleeps' they really dont do anything...

we get what are called 'white slips'. They are really bright yellow. get 1, your parents gotta sign it and bring it back and show the teacher that 'wrote you up'. then show your homeroom teacher and give it to her. get three white slips and get a detention. get 3 detentions, or 9 yellow slips, you get an in-school suspension, which involves them giving you and a sub a room for yourselves, and him/her teaching you everything you would normally do that day. also, you must pay WITH YOUR OWN MONEY, not your parents, for the sub. get 3 Inschoolers, or 9 detentions, or 27 white slips, you get a 2-day, (i think), out of school suspenion. I have 1 white slip this year and one last.


I was thinking about getting a ruger 10/22: Good or Bad Idea? Another .22 LR suggestions?

i have 2 ruger 10/22s a remington 597 and a marlin model60. I agree you can deck out the 10/22 to look pretty sweet but anything over 10 round mags fail often and jamb frequently, acurracy is also an issue, the 597 is a nice rifle for the money but remington hasnt improved the magazine flaws yet thusly the jamb also the marlin model 60 BY FAR the most popular 22 LR in the world...more of them sold than any other very accurate I have owned mine for over 12 years and not once has it failed
