i mean i know it's wrong to cuss and whatnot because of its effects on the younger generation, but don't you think that everybody goes a little overboard with it these days?  or not?  i wanna hear from both sides...

On one hand, I agree there is too much censorship in the world. What happened after Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" was ridiculous. We cannot pretend that people do not have private parts, or do not have sex. \n\nOn the other hand, I think that the entertainment industry goes way too far with graphic violence. I think that it does promote such behaviour, and that the industry does it only to boost profits. There is no thought about being socially responsible. Censorship there is necessary, I think. \n\nBTW, I think it's wrong to cuss, not because of the effect on the younger generation, but because it's just more pleasant when people do not curse. (I cuss all the time, of course).


If you research the Nicene Creed/Synod, you can see it was the foundation of anti-semitism. Wikipedia says "Another result of the council was an agreement on the date of the Christian Passover, now called Easter, the most important feast of the Church's life. The council decided in favour of celebrating Passover on the first Sunday after the spring equinox, independently of the Bible's Hebrew Calendar (see also Quartodecimanism)".\nSo, it is obvious that before the Nicene Synod, the "church" was celebrating Jewish festivals. Doesn't this seem odd, when mainstream churches love/support Israel?

The Council of Nicaea was called by Emperor Constantine around 325 A.D. to gather the Bishops of the early Christian churches. This was the birth of the state-sanctioned Roman Catholic Church that combined both Judeo-Christian doctrines with Pagan traditions and rituals.\n\nThe "new" combined [or catholic] church was given tremendous powers that engulfed the Holy Roman Empire as she proceeded to persecute all the Sabbath worshippers and anyone who did not want to JOIN the Roman Catholic Church through the dozen centuries that ensued.\n\nIn the early process the church also wiped out the entire Essene communities and obliterated them altogether from History and any references made about them in the Bible scriptures. \n\nThus began the Jewish diaspora [or the 'scattering of the Jews'] in all corners of the world throughout the Dark Ages and well into World War II when the anti-Semitic Nazis were not prevented by then Pope Pius XXII from annihilating the Jews by the millions.\n\nIt was soon after WWII, in 1948, when the victorious Western Allies atoned for such inhumane atrocities done to them that Israel was 'recaptured' from the Palestines and given back to the Jewish nation. Perhaps it's another fulfillment of Prophecy about the 'end of times' when the Jews go home...


Hi there my wife has over the past 9 months suffered with a swollen epiglottis to the point where she has been in Intensive care due to the possability of suffication. After tests & a byopsy the doctors have no idea of the cause so she's on steroids and is getting very down can anyone suggest anything??

have the doctors ruled out Haemophilus influenzae? this can be a possible cause since the swollen epiglottis is not the cause but a side effect. what exactly are the symptoms of your wife and what have the doctors ruled out?


I am studying 6 bacteria and need to know if they stain +/- in the oxidase (cytochrome c) test.  The bacteria are: Bacillus brevis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, and Mycobacterium phlei.

These are all aerobic Gram-Positive Bacilli:  Pertinent characteristics: rod-like; catalase negative or positive; some are acid-fast stain positive and some have branching; only Bacillus, Brevibacillus, Brevibacterium, and Paenibacillus species produce spores.


I repeat it's a number of a "man"...based from readings in scripture in the book of Revelation.

There have probably been thousands of attempts to remove the number 666 from it’s Biblical context and give an explication.\n\nWhat must be remembered is that the book of Revelation was written in symbolic language. It was never intended by God to be interpreted literally. When people try to use passages out of a symbolic context to prove a point, or “twist” a symbol to explain their own preconceived ideas, they sin and distort the text.\n\nI’m going to give you a very simple explication of the entire book of revelation, here it is:\n\nThere is a great spiritual battle going on between Christ and Satan. All mankind is involved in this battle. You are either on Satan’s side or Christ’s side. Christ wins the battle. Those who are members of His body, the church of Christ win with Him. That’s the message of the book.\n\nIn symbolic language God records the spiritual battle. Those who were the original recipients of the book (Revelation 1:1-3) knew firsthand of the battle. The book was written to instruct and comfort them. \n\n" ALSO 666 may stand for man’s imperfection."


I apply for buiding permit and need to do an estimated cost analysis. how do I do this

Just figure out everything you need and all that labor crap to. Some people businesses give you free estimates. I know roofing place do. Get one of them to estimate your job and go from there. But if its bigger you might need a little help. *


From the Army Times, Letters to the Editor, February 12, 2000\n\nI am a recruiter and have been for two years. In that time I have done my best to accomplish my monthly mission.\n\nLike most recruiters I continually try to find ways to depict the Army in a positive light to help me put in those two to three people Recruiting Command demands each month.\n\nRecently, I had the idea of buying a subscription to the Army Times and putting it in the office so prospects, applicants and their families can read it.\n\nI thought it would reinforce my "sales presentation" and aid me in getting the commitment to enlist.\n\nHowever, what I found out id the Army Times isn't a good sales tool.\n\nDon't misunderstand me. I like the job the staff at the Army Times does reporting the "real" Army.\n\nThe problem is what the real Army has seemed to become.\n\nAllow me to give some contrasts.\n\nI tell prospects about the great pay and benefits.\n\nBenefits such as free medical and dental care for themselves and Tricare for their families.\n\nThey read in the Army Times about soldiers and former soldiers suffering from Gulf War illnesses and being denied treatment, about poor treatment, poor facilities and how Tricare is broken.\n\nI tell them that joining the Army doesn't mean they can't go to college; the Army will pay 75 percent of their tuition for them to attend.\n\nThey read about back-to-back deployments to places most of them have never heard of, and how the deployments are putting a strain on marriages -- Dad and Mom missing birthdays and anniversaries for years in a row, and let's not forget the all-too-common "soldiers killed."\n\nI tell them about the great standard of living in the Army: free housing.\n\nThe paper reports the sorry state of housing at Fort Hood, Texas, the long waiting lists and that while you wait you can stay in high-crime areas around Fort Hood.\n\nThis point has a dual contrast. I also boast about Fort Hood being the first digitized division in the Army, home of Force XXI. Does that make sense to anyone?\n\nI boast of the upcoming pay raises.\n\nThey read how the officer corps will be the biggest beneficiaries of the pay raises and how we have a great number of soldiers on public assistance.\n\nI have only a year left before returning to the field and I can only say it can't come soon enough.\n\nI will continue to search for "mission box" each month and hope I can add to the success I have already enjoyed.\n\nTo the Army Times, I say keep up the good work.\n\nI will continue to subscribe; I'll just keep it at home.\n\nSgt. First Class Tom Lowe\nElizabeth City, NC

Sgt. First Class Lowe, I think you are doing a great service there because you love your country and you love your job and you are selling the Army for its positive notes.  However, I think anytime a young man or woman is going into something like the Army, that person needs to be aware of all factors, not just the positive ones.  Especially since most of our soldiers are young ones, not even old enough to drink liquor.  \n\nKeep the Army Times in your office.  That way, when you do sign a person up, you know it will be because that person truly wants to help our country and make it a better place!\n\n(An older Army Brat)


I love psychology. It is interesting reading about phobias and personality disorders. I was just wondering if anyone has insight.

An anxiety disorder manifesting with recurrent anxiety. It can be so serious that the anxiety and fear take over the life of the affected person.\n\nThere is no known single cause.

Show Me the Way to Go Home\nby Irving King\nhttp://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/showmeth.htm


I was told that I needed to have someone from his family to release that info...I don't know if anyone is alive! I tried calling cemetaries in Brooklyn and Queens.\nAny other suggestions?

See if the local newspapers in his neighborhood where he passed away have the obituaries on microfiche at the local public library.  Or, try Ancestry.com, I believe they have a social security death index.


Related to supply chain and strategic fit zone

Sounds like it may involve the time it takes for a particular supplier to get their procuct to you.\nAs for the spectrum, how you would rate a supplier and how well they respond to your demands as a retailer, that is what would you rate them on a "scaled" grading system.\nHope it helps.


Does anyone else suffer from dyshidrosis, the condition that is characterized by small, itchy, water filled blisters on the fingers?  I have been told that this condition is caused by high levels of stress.  Do any of you have this or know someone who does?  How do you treat it?  Did you ever get it to go away?

Sorry, I thought you meant Dyshydronosis, which is a viral infection of the intestines that cause severe bloody diarrhea.


I'm a high school student looking to be a medical doctor. Can I pick any science major when entering college, or is there a limit? \nAlso: How many years does it take to become an M.D?

4 years of college, 4 years of medical school to get an M.D. degree.  After that, though, you need to complete an internship (usually 1 year) and residency (3-7 years) to become a licensed practicing physician.  You don't need to major in science, but you do need to complete certain prerequisite courses (Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chem, Physics, etc.) in order to qualify for the MCAT examination which is required for medical school admissions.  Good luck!


My son changed the font size in my yahoo mail plus, and I cant find where to undo what he has done. I have no rss feeds folders listed in my folders. do I need to download one from somewhere? or....?

In my "normal" Yahoo mail account, at the e-Mail screen, I choose "Options" from the upper right corner of the screen then, in the Managment column, choose "General Preferences".  \n\nIn the Messages section, you should be able to choose the font and font size for your message.


Just go to www.yahoo.com and sign up.  It's free.  I've been with them for years and there's never been a problem with spam or pesty pop-ups.


I want an assurance that when i graduate i will land immediately on a nice job because it is indemand not only in my country but also outside my country, meaning you're not the one who will look but they're the one who will offer you the job, they're the one who will seek you.

Good luck with that one.\n\nOnly way you're going to get that accomplished is if you are an absolutely outstanding student, network relentlessly, and are better than everyone else.\n\nIf you can do that, it doesn't matter which major you choose.  Engineering in this day in age though is more in demand than just about anything else.


I asked a ? yesterday that asked if it's ok to hang with my guy friend that i love in that way? and most of you said yes and most of you said tell him and talk to him how do i do that?????

I'm going to be as honest as I can without hurting you. Telling him you have feelings for him even though you know he has a girlfriend is inappropriate. If he's with another girl, you need to start looking for other guys. You don't want to bring a lot of unnecessary complications into your life because she thinks you're trying to "steal" her boyfriend. Teenagers are incredibly territorial and very immature.


I am going to be babysitting at least one of the night my family is in town. I love my nieces and nephews what can I do that would be fun and enjoy our times together since I dont see them very often. I was thinking a speical craft and taken them to the pool things like that.

Card making is a great craft and not expensive. get them to make any cards for birthdays coming up or just for mum and dad.


Who put the ram in the ramalamadingdong?

My husband has suffered for years, and has tryed everything.  Any help is appreciated even natural and alternative treatment.

Saltwater should help but not cure it. If you live near the ocean, that's the best "medicine." For all others, buy dead sea salts (in the section where bubble bath and bath oil is) and bathe/soak in it. This is not a "quick fix," though. It will be a while before you see any improvement, but it does help. Beware, though...this can/will corrode metal fixtures in your tub over the long haul.


My nephew is three weeks old and a month premature, he has been diagnosed with chromosome 4 ring, i'm just looking for more information on it.

Chromosome 4 RingChromosome 4 Ring is a rare disorder that is typically characterized by loss (deletion) of genetic material from both ends of the fourth chromosome & joining of the chromosomal ends to form a ring.\n\n \nGeneral Discussion \n\nChromosome 4 Ring is a rare disorder that is typically characterized by loss (deletion) of genetic material from both ends of the 4th chromosome and joining of the chromosomal ends to form a ring. Associated symptoms and findings may vary greatly, depending on the location of lost genetic material and/or other factors. Some affected infants may have a low birth weight; growth retardation; delays in the acquisition of skills requiring the coordination of mental and physical activities (psychomotor retardation); an abnormally small head (microcephaly); a broad, "beaked" nose; and/or various additional physical abnormalities that are present at birth (congenital anomalies). However, cases have also been reported in which Chromosome 4 Ring is primarily associated with growth retardation, with no major physical anomalies and normal psychomotor development. Chromosome 4 Ring is usually caused by spontaneous (de novo) errors very early in the development of the embryo that appear to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically).\n\n.\n\nResources \n\nChildren's Craniofacial Association \n\n13140 Coit Road\n\nSuite 307\n\nDallas, TX 75240\n\nUSA\n\nTel: 2145709099\n\nFax: 2145708811\n\nTel: 8005353643\n\nEmail: csmith@ccakids.com\n\nInternet: http://www.ccakids.com\n\n\n\nMarch of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation\n\n1275 Mamaroneck Avenue\n\nWhite Plains, NY 10605\n\nTel: (914)428-7100\n\nFax: (914)997-4763\n\nTel: (888)663-4637\n\nEmail: Askus@marchofdimes.com\n\nInternet: http://www.marchofdimes.com\n\n\n\nThe Arc (a national organization on mental retardation)\n\n1010 Wayne Ave\n\nSuite 650\n\nSilver Spring, MD 20910\n\nTel: (301)565-3842\n\nFax: (301)565-3843\n\nTel: (800)433-5255\n\nTDD: (817)277-0553\n\nEmail: info@thearc.org\n\nInternet: http://www.thearc.org/


i would like to learn meditation , whereby there is no body consiousness at all. only the mind and spirit. pl advise how to go about it.

Sit in a comfortable quiet place.\nClose your eyes.\nClear your mind of all thoughts.\nThoughts will keep coming back into your mind.  When they do, simply stop thinking them and clear your mind again.\nKeep repeating the last step.


Has my younger brother been at my stash again?


we are doing a science project and we have to make up our own concert and it is really hard

I assume you mean diesel engine powered generators.\nDiesel generators come in lots of different sizes and generating capacities.  If you have seen three generators used for a concert, that is for one of two reasons: either they want to have redundancy (spares) - that is, to be able to quickly put another generator on line in case one fails, or the generators are small and they need three to provide enough electricity.\nIf there is a place where you live that rents generators, they might be able to help you with your project.


Ok I know people believe in the trinity but do you believe that God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are equal to each other. Meaning that one is not more powerful than the other.

1st of all Jesus said:  He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.\n\nJesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,\n\nJesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] . . . gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;\n\nDoes the Bible teach that all who are said to be part of the Trinity are eternal, none having a beginning?\n\nRev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him . \n\nDoes the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty?  Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)\n\nJohn 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”\n\n1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven. \n\nA person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.\n\nI COULD GO ON & ON WITH SCRIPTURES & EXPLANATIONS, BUT I THINK THIS ALREADY TO LONG FOR SOME PEOPLE.


I'm 16 years old and i don't know how to get a summer job.i tried to get one last year but i never found one. what do i do?

If you are seriously interested in having a summer job start applying now before college students are back.  My first jobs were at the mall.  I worked in the food court and at a department store.  I also worked at a couple restaurants.  Made great money as a server.  You could be a server or hostess at a restaurant, or a cashier at just about any store.  Many places hire just for summer.  The key is getting the job before a college student does.


So they really like you, then ignore you all night and talk to another pretty girl, then act shocked when your upset telling you they really like you. What's up with that...I don't get what it means?? Help.

You gotta read "He's Just no that Into You." Trust me, i went through something similar to your little scenario there and this book really makes you look at relationships differently and realize that a real man who really likes you would never ignore you. And why would you want to waste your time with someone who doesn't appreciate how wonderful you are?!\nThe book is so refreshing and will help immensely.

The mysterious Relampago del Catatumbo (Catatumbo lightning) is a unique natural phenomenon. Its cause is unknown. Centered on the mouth of the Rio Catatumbo at Lago de Maracaibo, the phenomenon consists of frequent flashes of lightning with no thunder. The luminosity and frequency of the lightning have diminished over the last decade and it can stop for days, but on clear dry nights it is still a special experience.

I dont know what could be wrong. any ideas? she doesnt respond too kisses on her cheek. im 15.

Don't over-analyze this. If she's normally in a good mood, she has a right to have a day when she's not feeling so hot. Maybe it has nothing to do with you. Give her some space and allow her to be moody. If she's not being nasty to you, then maybe it isn't about you at all. Just say, "Honey, I hope you're okay. If you want to talk, I'm here. If not, then you don't have to." And then leave it at that.

access say that password is wrong or work group is missed

It's not entirely clear what you're trying to do here ... but it sounds as though you want to use the MS Access Workgroup Security which modifies the system.mdw file associated with any Access database you may open / use.  I'd avoid using that strategy with a VB application.  If this is a network environment, create a table in the target database which can be used to store the network user id for anyone you want to allow access to the application and data.  Then use the Windows API to read the user id when the application is launched - then validate the user id against your user id table and permit or deny based upon the result.\n\nHere's some code snippets that may help (Good luck!):\n\nPublic strUser As String\n\nPublic Declare Function WNetGetUser Lib "mpr.dll" Alias "WNetGetUserA" _\n    (ByVal lpName As String, ByVal lpUserName As String, lpnLength As Long) _\n    As Long\n\nConst NoError = 0\n\n******************************\n\nSub GetUserInfo()\n\nConst lpnLength As Integer = 255\nDim lpName, lpUserName As String\nDim status As Integer\n\nlpUserName = Space$(lpnLength + 1)\n\nstatus = WNetGetUser(lpName, lpUserName, lpnLength)\n\nIf status = NoError Then\n    strUser = Left$(lpUserName, InStr(lpUserName, Chr(0)) - 1)\nElse\n    strUser = "Unknown"\nEnd If\n\nEnd Sub

unfortunatly due to society today, we no longer own our children


As it may seem immigration poses a problem for some but not so for our economy.\nIf it were not for unsavory dangerous immigrants entering our country would your feelings for immigrants entering our country be more passive or acceptable? Jose

I think immigration policy should be more rational, so that more people could come here and work legally. If we don't make it possible for immigrants to feel safe and secure here, and to take advantage of the benefits of living in a free society, then they're much less likely to assimilate, or to feel like contributing to the complex web of American culture.\n\nThe federal government has made it very difficult for many parts of the country to deal with illegal immigration. State governments have the burden of paying for emergency medical care and are mandated to provide education for minor children of immigrants, while having no say in how or whether the US government enforces federal laws.\n\nI think we should be much less paranoid and more intelligent about how we approach the situation, more cooperative, and more realistic.

Behaviors of Down Syndrome children.  Behaviors and how to teach and disciplline bi-polar and Downs Children.

Teaching children with Down Syndrome or with bi-polar disorder requires patience and understanding, especially understanding of their disorders.  YOu will need to use different strategies and techniques with the child with Down Syndrome than with the child with bi-polar disorder.  The two disorders and the issues they create are quite different.  The child with Down syndrome may not have a good understanding of the expected behaviors.  But for the most part the good,sound discipline strategies you would use with any child will also work with both these children.\n\nChildren misbehave for many reasons, including because they do not know that their actions are unacceptable, they are frustrated, angry or upset and have no other way to express their feelings, they are stressed by major changes in their lives, they want your undivided attention, they feel you have been unfair and want to punish you, or they want more freedom and are feeling constricted.  \n\nProbably the most important thing is consistency.  Stick to the rules and explain them simply in just a few words.  Also explain consequences.  Use time out only with  children who understand its purpose.  YOunger children and some children with Down syndrome may not understand it.\nPay much more attention to the good behavior.  Children will repeat what they get attention for.\n\nI have included several websites that should be helpful to you.


I would like to donate to a charity in memory of my step mom, an avid Dallas Cowboy fan.

A public charitable 501(c) 3 organization, the Foundation has since directed its emphasis to the construction of high-tech interactive playrooms in children's hospitals. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars towards Troy's stated goal that there is nothing more important than the health and well- being of children in our nation. They are the future

In Nightmare on Elm Street, I cant remember how Johnny Depps character died, I remember all the other characters deaths.\nDoes anyone know it?

Glen (Johnny Depp) is in his room watching TV, when he makes the worst and last mistake of his life: falling asleep. Suddenly, Freddy's gloved hand comes out through the mattress and drags Glen underneath, leaving a hole in the bed. A few seconds later, a fountain of blood comes up through the hole and sprays all over the ceiling and walls.\n\nThe actual cause of death is uncertain, but it has to be assumed that Freddy's bladed gloves played some part.


I just bought a winTV card, a graphics card, and a monitor. But, when I got the graphics card home, it had a cable for s-video input. Does this mean I can watch tv through my video card without the winTV card?

I just recently got braces and the answer is NO! only when the wire gets longer in the back of your mouth does it hurt, it only happens as your teeth get straighter, and at your next appointment they can clip the wire for you. and I don't know what you all mean about getting them tightened, cause I haven't had mine tightened yet, and If I have it doesn't hurt at all,(obviously it doesn't hurt if I didn't even notice!!)You have nothing to worry about. But as your teeth straighten they will hurt a little bit, and it will be hard to eat, just take some ibuprofen, 'cause it's a muscle relaxer and it will help. So take a deep breath and breathe. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be at all. Good Luck, I hope this helped. anymore questions Email me at, jordan_smith_is_the_best_32@yahoo.com

What do you think is the most embarrassing fact about Muhammad, and Islam?  \nThere are hundreds of embarrassing facts that are being hidden from the Western public. \nI like to hear your opinion. \nPersonally I think that most embarrassing is the information, that the Muslims are desperately trying to hide is about the sexual relations between a 54 years old Muhammad and a little-girl, the 9 years old Aisha. He married her when she was only 6, and started sex with her at 9, by Aisha’s own reports. According to the same reports (Hadiths ) she was still playing with dolls then!\n\nI posted a question about that. That question that a posted about this subject few days ago was promptly removed because the Muslims complaints. Do you think that some subjects should not be discussed? Do you think that we should be kept in darkness regarding facts about the founders of religions, even if these religions have billion followers?

The discussion of all facts (including the embarrassing ones) concerning religious founders should be not only allowed, but encouraged.


Can the State of California DMV, or traffic courts revoke driving privileges if \none is holding a Driving license from a different State? Thank you.

They can't revoke your out of state license, but they CAN revoke your CA driving privileges.  Another state recognizes your out of state license in the US, but can "revoke" its status as a valid license in that state, no other.  \n\nThis happens with people DUI/DWI a lot, and also for being uninsured.  President Bush at one time (yrs back) could not drive in Maine because while he had an out-of-state license, Maine revoked his driving privileges.

I need to look up lwas covering contracts in ohio, what makes them legal etc.

Contract must have a legal purpose\nIt must have mutual agreement by people capable of contracting\nIt must have been mutually understood\nIt must have consideration - each side giving something of value\nIt must have reasonably complete terms as to the items traded, the time, place and manner of performance.\nIt must be evidenced by a writing if over $500.00 (usually) or if performance might take longer than a year.


i had my ears pearced 9 months ago.my  sisters friend said i might have a ear infection so does my mom.what should i do ?

Is it only infected at the pierced site?  Remove the earring, wash it several times a day with warm water and soap, apply Antibiotic ointment, which you can get from your local drug store or from Walmart in the drug store section, apply that to the front and back of your ear after each washing.  If the redness gets worse or it gets swollen, going to the doctor wouldn't not be a bad idea.  Also if it is a cartilage pierce it will take much linger to heal.

i am a pretty good student (never had a C) but for some reason, i am just so scared of taking anything beyond calulus I. is this an unnatural fear? i know i will probably get an A in calculus I this semester, but i do not want to read Engineering because of the other calculuses. Anyone one ever have that fear?did you conquer it?

Second semester calculus is no harder than first\nsemester calculus except that you have to memorize\na bunch of trig formulas (unless your professor is\nreasonable enough to let you use a formula sheet\nduring tests -- why should you have to memorize?)\nIt's actually pretty interesting to study how\nequation systems behave "in the limit".\n\nI thought third semester calculus was easiest of the\nthree (polar coordinates as I recall), and the\nequations generated pretty pictures :-)\n\nMy experience in engineering was that I didn't often\n*use* the later Calculus courses (nor differential\nequations nor linear algebra) in my other engr \ncourses.

not on my beard, the bump are hard and will not pop

If you shave that area don't do it cold man! ALWAYS shave after you get out of a hot shower. Your pores are open and if you use a good lather like collgate or gilette followed by an alcohol after shave you will have no problems. Hey man, I'm 36 with the face smoother than a babies bottom after a good shave. Trust me, I know this one bro.


im scard its an STD but it was me and my partner's first time. Its a hard bump then it turns into a zip. Help please

It could be that you need to take a break from shaving for a while, thats what happen to me. Just let it grow out for a while, and keep it trimmed it'll still look nice.


I know to look on the packaging of what Im eatingso if you have an answer other than that please help ..:)

i have to practice my spanish, latin girls required

http://www.freedict.com/onldict/spa.html\n(English to Spanish Dictionary)\n\nFound it the other day (I met this really good looking Hispanic man recently, and I wanted to say "You are gorgeous" in spanish).\n\nLM


this friend of mine is very happily married, but each time I get naughty and ask her how she feels about me (I know she likes me a great deal), she gives me time! The other day, I asked her whether is she weren't married she would have slept with me -- I was pushing the envelope, and she responded!! -- and she said yes! I WILL not be breaking up any marriages, but I wonder whether if she were truly happy, she would even give me the face by answering!!

Speaking as a happily married woman, that has been asked similar questions by longtime friend...my answer is no I did not and would not have answered that question. #1 by answering these types of questions I would be being disrespectful to both my husband and my marriage, and #2 what does it matter what I might do if I weren't married because the fact of the matter is I am happily married and that is all that matters to me. I will also tell you, I am no longer friends with the man that asked these questions of me, because it was obvious that he wanted more than a friendship with me, and I am completely devoted to my husband and found it very rude and disrespectful for a friend that knew how devoted and in love I was to keep bring such a questions up. I think your friend is either flattered by the attention she gets from you, is insecure and needs to feel wanted by all men and is therefore afraid that if she said no then you would quit giving her the attention, she uses the comments and attention you give as a way to cause jealousy or make her husband feel like he's the luckiest man to have her or she is not happy in her marriage...It could also be any combination of the things I have mentioned. however, if she were truly, happily madly in love with her husband and secure in herself and marriage, these naughty conversations you are having with her would not be....

I love politics, but my school doesn't offer political science (its a Catholic college). I would like to get my Masters in business administration and go into something with political influences, but I'm not sure what I could do!

Major political parties are businesses and deal with business issues.  You could work on staff with a political party.  Mayors of large cities are in charge of a large business operation and also deal with local and state businesses.  You could take a professional position in a city government, learn the "political ropes" and even run for mayor.  US Representatives and Senators come from a variety of backgrounds and deal constantly with business and ecoonomic issues.  I believe US Consulates deal with business issues involving US-foreign trade.  Good luck.


I mean i am 16 this may and ikno wthat itisnt the only thing in life, But people dont seem to undersatnd al they talk about is sex, evevn humour.aaarghhi am sick of it.The world out there is harsh anddifferent, why dont we youngsters break outta this shell man? i have and i have seen reality. Please why the heck r u all acting like this??It sint growing up like u guys say, u r not acting mature.

You won't find it changes at all when you're older.  I'm 26 and sick of it also...but it's a little different. At least you are aware of it and don't want to get trapped.  The reason they are like this is because of TELEVISION and the MEDIA.  You can't go to a "teen" movie now without some kind of sex seen with nudity.  It makes me sick, but that is the reason this is happening, and unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it.  What you can do is not support movies that promote these kind of things.

really, if gays only made love naturally, it would lead to the end of humanity - not taking into consideration sperm banks because that's not natural.

If by some unrealistic chance it were to happen, it doesn't mean that life wouldn't continue.  I would imagine that lesbians and gays would find a way to procreate.  There would be a sort of barter system.  People would recognize the need for civilization to continue and would adapt.


calculate the number of moles of chloride ions in the beaker.

First we need to find the formula for zinc chloride.\nZn = +2 charge\nCl = -1 charge\nCross charges, and the formula is: \n\nZnCl2\n\nNow, stoichiometry solves this problem...\nThere are 3 moles total of Zn and Cl separately. \nZn has 2 mols\nCl has 1 mol\n\n0.1 mol ZnCl x (1 mol / 3 mol total) = 0.03333 mol Cl- ions


The medical expenses were for a person who passed away last year

1040. the medical goes on the schedule A. Don't forget to take the miles to the Dr and pharmacy. Also parking and tolls. If the person was married when they died have them file a joint return this year and if they have a dependent they can file qualifying widower for the next 2 years. If the person was not married and someone took care of them and pd 50% or more of their support then that person can claim the one who died on their tax return and take the expenses that were pd. Remember you can only deduct the expenses that were pd in 2005. If they were not pd in 05 then they come off of the yr they were pd. Only the amounts that were pd can you deduct. Not the amounts that were billed unless that is what was pd. Sorry to hear of your loss.


I mean have you got some thing you fear when you meet or you see ??

No I agree with Stevie Wonder that superstition ain't the way. \n\nIn Japan, having a black cat cross your path is good luck. In Europe, it is considered to be bad luck. In ancient Egypt, the goddess Bast was a black cat. In order to discredit the old religion, Christians said that black cats were demons and if one crossed your path it would block your path to heaven.


if u were in love what would u discribe it as


On December 2, 2000, Thalía married the former Sony Music president, Tommy Mottola (ex-husband of the American superstar singer Mariah Carey) who is 23 years her senior, at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, in a three-million dollar ceremony and reception (Source-Wikipedia/others).  I am not an expert or anything, but doesn't the Catholic Church prohibit such things?  Someone get paid off? Wrong information?

The Catholic Church does in fact "frown" on divorce.  However, you can pretty much commit just about any sin, pay a fee (some are heavier than others) and be reinstated in the church.


Hopefully, as a result of the march, all the immigrants will have a good path for citizenship to eliminate the "illegal" argument that the fascists and the racists use, and expose them as the reactionary neo-nazis they are.

Why are so many idiots falling for this?

Rum, for instance: ads say it is carb and sugar free.....but what happens to that alcohol inside the body? Does it turn to sugar at all?

ok.  i took nutrition class twice about 3 years ago.  \nprotein  carbs fats and alcohol.  best to worst.  alcohol has like an extreme amount of fat for one.  alcohol is all sugar once broken down in the body.  if you're worried about alcohol for diabetes steer clear.  if it's for a diet, steer clear.  if it's for general info, just do it in moderation with a balanced diet.  alcohol isn't "empty calories" or whatever she  said earlier.  it's fattening and sugary.


I go to college. a couple of the days i don't come home till almost 8pm. So I get tired really quick and than I have to worry about homework. There are days I just lose sleep and usually on weekends I just sleep in late because I am so tired. It's hard to organize my time. A couple of years ago when I was in high school I lost some weight but now with college I gained most of it back. Also, while I am in school there aren't many places to eat anything good. Usually I go to wendys and get a side salad and a baked potatoes with chives because it helps me get fiber. So if anyone can really help me I greatly appreciate it.

So many people feel your pain!  It is SO IMPORTANT to stop and remember who comes 1st in this world... You!  So you have to commit to taking 30-45 minutes out of each day to do anything physical.  Even if you just walk.  Avoid elevators and take stairs.  The best way to track your progress is by using a pedometer (step counter).  Aim higher and higher every week.\n\nThe more you exercise, the less fatigued you will feel during the day.  You will sleep better at night too.  It's kinda like your body's way of saying thank you!!!\n\nThere are other ways to get fiber besides potatoes. (link below has more)\n\nFinally, the best way to lose weight is to find a buddy to workout with.  Why?  Because on those days when you feel like saying, "Nah - I'll do it tomorrow." - your friend will be there saying, "NOW BABY!!!".  You won't be sorry.\n\nGood luck!!!

The father owes back child support and arrearages, can he have the children drop or collect for themselves since they are all of age and there is no more current child support, or is the mother still able to collect for herself since she raised them and this is all BACK support

The kids cannot drop the case or go after it themselves.  The mother supported them and she is due the money.  If the government supported them then he has to pay them.  My mom got her final child support payment from my father for my brother when he was in his late 20's.

I'm assuming here that you're building a protective casing around something.\n\nYou still may be able to use metal: If you want the magnetic transparency to be for the purposes of transmitting a signal, you could try making the casing itself your antenna. But, this may only work over short distances, as the shape of any casing is likely to be a poor antenna. You might try attaching an aerial (an antenna that sticks out) to a part of the casing that won't be subject to impact, if there is such a part. If the magnetic field is to provide a locomotive force to something inside the casing, but not the casing itself, then yeah, you probably can't use metal.\n\nIf you can't get ahold of kevlar, you might try wood (try a sturdy laminate, and don't be afraid to reenforce the structure with crossbeams or just thicker material) or other plastics (solid nylon comes to mind -- check around for a plastic shop that will be able to provide you with the material and machine it for you). Stone and concrete are very hard, but probably too hard: they lack resilency, and thus tend to chip and crack.

In a lot of my reading, I am a physician assistant, an article will say, i.e. "Smoking increases your rise of developing cancer 4 fold?  How much is this?

"Fold" just means "times."  Twofold means 2-times, or double the risk.  Four-fold is quadruple risk.  I'm not sure of the origin of the word, but it's just a common expression for multiples.


i have had a bad headache since Friday and i have a sore throat with white patches in the back i think is strep but havent gone to get it check what do u think it is?

why do so many people blame president bush everytime something goes wrong in this country?he has been blamed for everything from 911 to hurrican katrina?i do not remember anyone blaming clinton for allowing the terroists in this country that planned 911 nor did i ever hear anyone blame clinton for hurricanes happening.

He's just messed up so many things that it's easy to just blame him for everything now.  I also think that it doesn't help that he can't admit when he's made a mistake.  It just seems to make people believe that he either a) has no clue what he is doing or b) is full of it.

what the best slide show programm with music, u can play music  while showing pics.

I feel there are two great freeware options for creating photo slide shows with music.\n\nMicrosoft Photo Story 3 \nFree download for "genuine" Win XP. I know it's MS, but it is a great program for making picture slide show (I don't think it can handle video clips). It is incredibly easy to use, has nice features like being able to add background music and record narration and title clips. It has output settings for NTSC DVD, but appears to only output wmv file format.\n\nSlideshow Movie Maker \nAnother free tool. Not quite as user-friend as PS3, but much more customizable for transitions, allows for importing AVI video clips, and exports as AVI video.\n\nI have used both with good results, but I tend to go to Photo Story 3 if I am a hurry and just want to get it done and if I will be using any background narration.\n\nLinks for the programs below.

I have heard that if you put visene in someone's drink it will stop their heart.  Has anyone else heard this.  Is it true?

I have not heard of visene stopping any ones heart . the only possible way that I think it could is to send a nerve impulse through the optical nerve to the brain which would have to but almost defiantly would not but ma bey just possibly in 1 time out of 9,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 for this to possibly happen you would have to have a nerve disease or something for the brain to complete the nerve impulse circuit to the heart to cause it to stop that is the only possible way it could happen.

I don't attempt to sound arrogant with this question, since I realise I am a very flawed human being myself, but I can't help to ask myself why so many people around the world behave in such a mediocre manner.\nMost people nowadays do not care to think or exercise their brains, and most of them are just content with repeating what they hear on tv or see in movies, like parrots, without really bothering to actually learn, engage in critical thinking or come up with arguments of their own.\nThe saddest part is that your "average joe" doesn't even have opinions of his own, and just doesn't care about anything that doesn't involve the areas touched by today's mainstream media (music, celebrities, fashion). \nMoreover, the majority of those few who do have opinions, often cannot fundament them.\nWhy is it that, with today's wonders such as internet, you still can find so many ignorant people?Have the powers that be succeded in eliminating critical thinking and artistic insight from most people?

What research have you done to back your "hypothesis". If your observations are based on your environment, maybe you should change it. It seems as though you might be talking from the perspective of one who watches to much television and has a limited scope of the world at large.

It is a typical act of a republican adminastration. They completely disregard safty and are not environmentally freindly. Favoring business and the very rich in all decisions.


how about if i get married to an american citizen , could be a good solution and a gurantee that i wont be departed      ( last resort ).

As long as you have a visa, you can always apply to have your status adjusted.  The application does not guarantee approval, but as long as your application is pending, you will be legally allowed to stay in the United States.  (If CIS decides later on that your application was frivolous, you can be prosecuted for that, however.)  \n\nThe length of time that it takes to receive a decision regarding your case varies a great deal.  It depends on, among other things, the country of which you are a citizen, your background in terms of legal/criminal issues you may have had, previous immigration issues you may have had, your work history (both here and abroad), and the program under which you are applying for your LPR status.\n\nDifferent classes of immigrant visas that may be available to you include employment visas; family preference visa if you have LPR family members (parents, siblings or adult children)living here or if you have any American citizen relatives (they do not necessarily need to reside here in the US); or the diversity visa (the lottery).  Depending on your country of citizenship, there may special programs available.\n\nYour best bet is to contact CIS and make an application.  If your status here is not legal, then I would contact an immigration attorney.  Unfortunately, you need to take care in choosing an attorney as many are not knowledgable or competent in immigration law (immigration law is very different from "regular" law) and many are, to put it bluntly, taking advantage of the fact that many of their clients are not well informed or educated in immigration law and procedures.


I need to know 10 facts about what important things are going on right now in Japan.

Official Name:  Nihon or Nippon (Japan)- Land of the Rising Sun \n\n6.Japan is 70% mountains\n\n7. The bathroom is not where the toilet is found in a Japanese home\n\n8.# Newspaper editors make their headlines so as to not attract attention.  \n\n9.It is considered rude to show signs of affection toward a loved one in public.\n\n10.You can buy batteries, beer, wine, condoms, cigarettes, comic books, hot dogs, light bulbs, and used women's underwear from vending machines.

i need to find out if my child has bipolar or not one dr says yes and the other says no

The word "bipolar" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIt is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric and pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "bipolar" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.\n\n"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.\n\nSymptoms that psychiatry labels as "bipolar" (or it's related disorders), can stem from any number of variable sources. Many people, for example, have overcome "bipolar" through megavitamin therapy and effective nutrition. A growing wealth of evidence supports that underlying nutritional deficiencies can cause even the most severe mental disorders, including symptoms labelled as "schizophrenia" [See source refs]\n\nBottom line? Psychiatry is a belief-system, a "faith", not a science. Despite the huge marketing strategies, the so-called "research" and all the propaganda thrown at the world, there is not one iota of scientific evidence that proves that "schizophrenia" or ANY mental illness, in fact, exists as an actual --medical disease--.\n\nThe U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health states: “The precise causes (etiology) of mental disorders are not known” and that “there is no definitive lesion, laboratory test, or abnormality in brain tissue that can identify the illness.”\n\nIf you have been told differently then know this: You have been lied to.\n\nFor more information, please visit:\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters\nDecoding Psychiatric Propaganda\n\nFor information on non-drug / alternative approaches:\n- http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/default.htm#B\n- http://www.pendulum.org/articles/articles_misc_lisaalt.html\n- http://www.truehope.com/_empowerplus/empowerplus.asp\n- http://www.mentalhealthproject.com/content.asp?id_Content=1575

I need to do a project on Mauritius, and a question is "what precautions must tourists take before going there?" you know,like shots,and medicines and stuff...????

Call your health department for a list of recommended vaccinations.  If you take any prescription medications make sure they are properly labeled.\n\nDo not wear any identifying clothes that indicates you are American/tourist.  Such as don't wear a OU T-shirt, etc.  Do not wear a lot of jewelry, do not carry around a lot of money.


I would like to turn this into a business.

there's a site that will allow you to design and sell those items and THEY do the printing and shipping to your clients for you


The QQQQ is supposed to track the NASDAQ-100.  Is there a better stock/fund that can get me the performance of the NASDAQ?

The BEST?...umm, its "Excellent", how bout that?\n\n"Cubes" is an Exchange Traded Fund (basically it's a mutual fund) with some benefits above a Mutual fund.\n\n1. It tracks the NASDAQ 100 (the most active stocks), not the NASDAQ. \n2. It is highly liquid.\n3. Options are available for it, thus you can hedge your QQQQ position.\n4. It trades like a stock, so you don't pay end of day asset valuation the way you would with a mutual fund.\n5. It is passively managed, thus you save a lot on management fees.


If someone LOVES Pantera and wanted to find more bands similar to them....what bands would you suggest? And why?Flash back to the late 80's early 90's. People who dont know who im talking about...need NOT reply...ty.

ok - here it is according to yahoo music listeners :\nhttp://music.yahoo.com/ar-260156-similar--Pantera\n\nsome of that is new bands i don't know anything about.\npantera is cool but there not really at the top of talent esp since poor dimebag darrell got shot. however if you dig metal, esp old metal, anthrax is great, yngwie malmsteen is TOPS !, metallica pre-1990 is good, Testament shreds, check out something really awesome but not well heard of: MArty Friedman. email me i'll be happy to send you some songs of some of the artists i have listed. steele_luv@yahoo.com


Relate him to other modern artists that compete in this same style of music!\n\n(I made this arguement with my brother - I need to win)

There are plenty of artists just like him, except they are all black.  He's just another white guy that doesn't want to be white and really doesn't do anything special.  All he needs is some anger management and then he wouldn't have anything to rap about.

Kill?  Try french fry.  Yeah that could easily kill a person.  They would likely turn to dust immediately.


I was wondering how many teeth people have, I have had eight theeth pulled and want to know the normal amount.

There are 32 teeth in the adult dentition.  4 quadrants consisting of 8 teeth:  Central Incisor, Lateral Incisor, Cuspid, 1st Bicuspid (1st Premolar), 2nd Bicuspid (2nd Premolar), 1st Molar, 2nd Molar, 3rd Molar (Wisdom Tooth).  There are instances where people have an 'extra' tooth or teeth and these are known as supernumerary teeth.  Also, in some cases, certain teeth never develop.  So it's possible for a person to have more or less than the 'normal' 32.


I have 10 pounds to loose before summer and I was just wondering if anyone has tried Adkins?

Adkins is OK at first, and you'll probably lose the 10 pounds. But I've known a few that after a while have to come off of it a little because cholesterol starts getting too high.


I have to admit I've been guilty of this myself, but why do I do it? Just to make other people there think I actually know the song? Or is there some other reason behind it?

It's mob psychology + the power of music. When you're at a concert, you are really excited and your mind lets go of inhibitions so that you try to sing along even if you do not know the song. Besides that, every else around is excited and trying to do the same. You can't help but be excited.


If you were put in situation where you met some person in a place for the first time.Immediately, he comes and proposes to you.what will you do? what should you tell him on the spot? what will you tell him after he had given you time to think the matter over?

I'd say it pretty much hinges on what kind of Radeon card you have but based on the specs and the non-functioning USB ports, I would start it at $300 and go from there.  But I doubt you will get any more than $600 for it because it is now possible to buy laptops around that price range brand new with specs superior to that of what you are offering.


SPELLING MAY BE A LITTLE OFF, ALSO SEE J'TAIME.  THANK YOU

Je t'aime is how it's spelled and it means "I love you".

Do you believe that global warming is real? \n\nIf not then why?

It is happening... look at all the data. However, I think that "greenhouse gases" are a little overplayed as the scape goat... we ARE coming out of an ice age, after all.

Ok my ex and i havent talk for two months now. Then yesterday she called me and ask me to hang out so we did. then she came back to my house and said she loved me and we hooked up. When we broke up the first time i had to go to a stress center but i really want to get back with her. i need your help asap

You really need to sit down with her and have a total heart to heart chat.  No games just complete honesty.  Are the problems that caused you to break up been fixed now?  If not they need fixed before even thinking of going back.  Ive seen people who truly do love each other but for some reason they just cannot get along outside of the bedroom.  I feel for u and my heart goes out to you but you need to also think of your own emotional well being in this.  Good luck to u


I am curious if online, CNA,Pharmacy Tech,Business Management and other similar programs are accepted just like the ones taken at an actual school.

These Degrees are accepted, but, as in any profession you will be competing with many individuals after the same position.  If one is a Graduate from a well known College, they may be looked at in a favorable light.  Also you should be aware, it can be difficult to impossible to transfer credits from the online course.  Be sure you read all the fine print.  Be sure that the course offers certification and not just the education.\n\nGood Luck, and Have a Great Day


My boyfriend is paralyzed on the left. Wondering if anyone knows some postions for lovemaking?


I have an awesome coach and I am already much improved.  Next year is my last year in high school and i want to start varsity.  I cant seem to shoot my three pointers correctly, and my ball handling isnt as good as i want it to be. i want to know how i can be able to ball handle with both of my hands equally well. what exercises can i do to improve my skilss?

The best way to get better at a sport is practice!  Find your weeknesses and work on them till they get better. So lets say you aren't that great at dribbling...What you have to do is set up a set of cones in a row and/or curving around (to represent players) and dribble around the outsides of the cones while keeping control of the ball.  If you have shooting problems, just keep shooting for a few hours and you'll get it.  I suggest for a shooting problem to start off trying to make 5 shots in a row without missing.  If you miss you should start back at 0 and work up to 5 again.  Do this with lay-ups and once you master those, move on to free throws.  then back 2 steps, then back another 2 steps.  Keep doing that untill you reach 2 steps past the (invisible three point line) if you are on your driveway or just past the regular three point line.


He was supposed to call when he had a day off, and he never called, now I hear that he is getting married, and has another baby on the way. He didn't call on her first birthday, or at Christmas. He doesn't know that she is walking, has her ears pierced, or that she has 14 teeth.

sometimes we have to be nudged and sometimes we have to be hit over the head with a mallet. It breaks my heart to hear a question like this. I want desparately to see my daughters. send him a picture of her with a note saying simply that if he would like to see her it is ok and that it is best for her if he is in her life if that is his wish.


i have the tv tuner built in,i just want to know how to do it?

you need a tv capture card and a cable tv connection, most laptop does not have the tv capture card, so unless you have a dvi socket on your laptop and use a newer digital video player as the interface, there is a slim change that you can watch tv on it.


my son has been in jail for seven months.has not been to court yet.do you not have a right to a speedy trial

Well, maybe if you son didn't commit crimes then you would not have to worry about him being in jail.  If he is a dumb a$$ and goes to jail then thats his own fault.


I have a chance to study Bachelor of Science in actuarial science. What kind of work can I do with this degree, and is it interesting?

I'm considering going back to school to do do that.  My understanding is that it is constantly rated one of the best professions out there.  You do need to be strong in math and then there are a series of tests you need to take and pass in order to be considered a professional actuary (though a lot of companies will hire you after you've taken one or two and help you with the rest).


How would u feel if ur crush liked ur best friend and wat would u do?

That would be fine with me. My best friend deserves someone nice.


I am so sick of (fill in the blank of name of candidate) did (whatever they did 30 years ago).\n\nSaying Kerry went to Viet nam is niether a reason to vote for or against someone.  Bush being in the national guard is neither a reason to vote for or against.\n\nThe swift boat thing was stupid.  The same people in that commericial praised Kerry years and years ago and if Kerry would have just run those clips earlier it would have negated those comments.\n\nThe problem with this line of thought is it leads the other group from doing the same stupid thing.  (other guy) (did this 30 years ago).\n\nIts all karl rove bull snot and it doesnt elevate the conversation in America.\nArent you sick of it?

I like Dave R's answer. \nWhat troubles me is not so much that someone did or did not serve in Vietnam. Most (but not all) of those who have served in war seem to have a healthy reluctance to commit troups again unless the effort is just and with clear objectives, so it can be helpful to have had that experience.\nHowever, presidents can be effective or ineffective regardless of prior service experience. Whether you're a liberal or conservative, you should be able to recognize that presidential success or failure has not been determined by their past military service--or lack of it.\nWhat deeply troubles me is the extent to which partisans use military service as a political weapon. If an opponent had a solid service record, call it into question. If a candidate did not serve, claim that service is irrelevant. \nWhat should be relevant is the truthfulness of the candidate in openly describing his past.\nThen I'd love to see candidates deal with real issues in ways that go beyond sound bites. Unfortunately, this is not what we are getting in this age.


I don't want to do the chocolates or flowers.Any other suggestions?

Ok me and my bf just broke up with me yesturday and this really cute guy asked me out afeter that and i said yes but i still like the other guy even though he played me well thats what i heard how do you get that feeling to go away cuz im happy w/ the guy im dating now but cant stop thinking about that other guy.... WHAT SHOULD I DO I NEED HELP!!!!!

Its just going to take time to get over this other guy.  You shared memories with him and for now they depress u a little but in time when u think of these things it will make u smile and will not hurt anymore.  And before u know it you'll be thinking " what was that guys name that took me to the prom????  hmmmmmm"  Dont allow it to interfere with your new guy.  Otherwise its going to hurt him in the long run!


She initiated the get-together. We have never seen each other outside of school/work. It will be just the two of us. But she used the word "hang out." Last month in casual conversation she asked if I had a girlfriend and when I said no she told me she is also single.

what does it matter? just hang out with her, and since she initiated the whole thing, she'll probably tell you what she wants. if not, see what happens and if things go well as her out on a date. let her know it's going to be a date, and if she says yes then she's interested. just relax and don't sweat the details. let whatever happens happen.


I think its something like 17k mph to orbit, not sure. As far as going towards the moon I have no clue, was just curious how fast they got going. Thanks

You are confused. The first problem is getting into orbit. This is called "escape velocity."\n\nSecond, your speed around any body in space depends on its mass, your mass and the height of your orbit, or distance from the surface. The closer you are the faster you go. The farther out you are, the slower you go.\n\nAs for Apollo, look it up at NASA's web site or almost anywhere by searching Apollo Moon Mission.

I need to know the city where he lived, what he studied, what his talents were, and what he believed strongly about. Please dont put something about wooden teeth or cherry trees or some wierd rumor like that. Thanx so much.

GEORGE WASHINGTON  •  U.S. President / Military Leader / Revolutionary War Figure \n \nGeorge Washington is often called "the father of his country" for his crucial role in fighting for, creating and leading the United States of America in its earliest days. Washington was a surveyor, farmer and soldier who rose to command the colonial forces in the Revolutionary War. His success in the war made him a tremendously popular figure in America even after he retired to his farm at Mount Vernon in 1783. He was the natural choice to serve as the country's first president in 1789 after the new United States Constitution was ratified. He served two terms, refused a third, and returned to his Virginia farm. In 1798 he was again commissioned as commander in chief of the army, a title he held until his death 18 months later. He was succeeded as president by John Adams. \nExtra credit: Washington married the widow Martha Dandridge Custis in 1759; they had no children together, but Washington adopted Martha's children John and Martha... Washington was land-rich but often cash-poor, and had to borrow money in order to get to his first inauguration... Washington had false teeth but, contrary to popular rumor, they were not made of wood. According to the Mount Vernon official site, Washington's dentures "were probably more uncomfortable than wood. They were made of cow's teeth, human teeth, and elephant ivory set in a lead base with springs that allowed him to open and close his mouth"... The story of Washington chopping down a cherry tree is also not true; it was invented by an early biographer of Washington, Parson Mason Weems.    \nOne more thing, they did not use powder to make their hair \nwhite, in that era men wore wigs to make them look more \ndistinguished,,,,, don't figure lol.


I was playin spades in yahoo games and this person came on and knew mine and my boyfriends name and things. He/she would not tell me who he/she was and was nasty about my bfriend. How do I find out who that person was behind the screen name?

You cant find out their name unless it is in their profile. Make sure yours and your boyfriends names arent in your profile. Never share personal information online. Dont trust anyone! This person might know you from some other conversation or from your daily life if you have told other friends what your screen name is. Please be careful there are many bad types out there.


Due to my recent "Why are people sticking to Atheism" question, everyone all of a sudden hates me for reasons that are simply not true. First of all, the reason that I insult others is because not only is it a matter of "some things need to be said," but also because I find nothing more efficient. Maybe that is because I'm simply different, which has been proven to me many times. But anyway, the reason I try to "Shove it down people's throats," as some people say, is not because I am insecure of my own beliefs, but because I seem to be the only person around who actually DOESN'T want otherwise good people going to hell merely for the falsehood of their religion. And to be honest, I have gotten the honor roll every time I could (except one time, but I plan on making that up with high honors), so you can't call me dumb. As for me being 14, well, that is true. And about the coward thing, I could explain that, but the character limit won't let me, so I will explain it elsewhere.

You are absolutely precious.  Insults are not efficient.  On the contrary they create defensiveness, contention, and set up walls that shut down communication so that nothing positive can be taken away by anyone.  Insults are instruments of harm and a most ineffective way of discourse.  Books do not teach tact and grace.  That comes from life (hopefully).  Watch Good Will Hunting.

Expressing an Opinion Adam Smith thought that government has only three duties: “First, the duty of protecting the society from…invasion; secondly…the duty of establishing an exact administration of justice; and thirdly, the duty of erecting and maintaining certain public institutions.”  Do you agree that these are the only duties a government should have? Why?

No I do not agree with Adam Smith; I believe the government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. These three are important general “duties” they do not even compare to the broad spectrum of duties that are needed to truly govern a country. A government is for the people. It does not only have three duties yes they maybe important but there is more to a government than just those three duties. A government protects people, makes everyone feel equal; try’s to satisfy every person living in that place. A government does not just want to be satisfied with what it has it want s to succeed, it doesn’t want to be mediocre it wants to be the best. If the government only had those three duties it would not be a very good government there would be chaos every where.

where is it toughest to find computer work?

it's every where though. i mean you can't find a job in computers easily these days. well, if you think that there is competition every where, what about small towns where you don't have computers. for me it's what you know really matters, if you know more that a person knows who is working, you can get his job easily.


No, but that is because I am very familiar with Louisiana and I never believed any of the anti-Bush nonsense regarding Katrina to begin with.


If A Girl Misses Her Period Does that mean shes pregnant?

Otherwise, go ahead, buy a test for yourself. Better safe than sorry.\n\n(Not sure if Yahoo's word filter blocks that so I self-censored)

About 2 months ago my husband "almost" cheated with another girl, just had some mutual understanding that they like each other. But they did wokr it out that it's not possible for them to continue and then should remain as only distant friends but when I knew about it. I asked them to completely stop the communication. I got mad last time when that woman called him up again. I just want this to stop, I wanted so much to recover this feeling of pain and being betrayed. But for her to still be in contact, how's that possible?? It's not helping me, I'm so bothered and feel like I can't trust my husband anymore.

The problem is not with the girl. She is not part of the relationship. Your husband has a lot of work to do to gain your trust and confidence back. HE has to show that he has changed. Otherwise, he did it once, he can do it again. It has to come from him. A solid explanation of exactly what happened and why it won't happen again.


They seem to Blame the Republican Party for Poverty.\nIf Democrats have the answer why dont they tell Us!Instead of complaining about other Parties?

People's personal blights, ie poverty or education, or not the responsibility of goverment. It is that person's choice where they are in life. In modern american society it seems that everyone wants to blame someone for the way they ended up, or make an excuse for why someone else is doing better than them. \n\nIt is a fact that some people will do nothing more than what is ABSOLUTELY nessacary for survival on that particular day. Some people will do more, and some will do everything they can to get better off than others. \n\nTo directly answer the poverty % quest... It all comes down to what the person doing the survey wants the number to be. A person living in per-say Montana with a small farm grwing there own food not really having a need for money is in poverty. But if you ask them they may say they are doing fine as all of their needs are met. A multi-millionaire that has no job (doesn't need it duh) and has no investment income (poor economic move) is considered in poverty by IRS standards. So it all comes down to what poverty number do you want to have?\n\nOn a side note, I fix up houses as a business. With the way the tax code is structured I can write off almost all of my income to business expenses. IRS paper work I made $9300 last year for a family of 3 (sole income earner). My actually net from the business for the year was $102,000+(not rubbing it in). I have been contacted multi times for Gov't assistance because we are POOR. LOL


i just watched the movie a couple of days ago . i don't follow politics like i should ! how much truth is in this movie ?

It's subjective. It isn't fiction, but it is heavily biased. If you want to get a more complete story, look for some media from conservative outlets to go along with Michael Moore's very liberal views.


Hi, I'm taking a graduate course dealing with biotransformation and it seems my instructor is inconsistent when using the terms "co-factor" and "co-substrate".  Web searches seem to be just as inconsistent.\n\nI have very little biology background and I'm quite confused.\n\nSpecifically, I need to know if acetyl-CoA, UDPGA and PAPS are co-factors or co-substrates and why.\n\nThanks so much!

well... sorry I can't help more specifically with your compounds...\n\n\na co-factor would be something that aids in the enzymatic process\n\na co-subtrate would be something that is required in addition to another subtrate which is ALSO altered by the enzymatic process\n\nThats my understanding of the matter... a substrate is acted upon by the process, whereas a factor is an additional required component but isn't acted on.


i just walk up to people and start talking. they either look at you like your stupid or they start talking to u.


I am trying to learn wicca and i have to know what the wiccan rede means and wicca is witch craft and my mom said that i have to tell her what it means and i have to live it too so i need help what does it mean.

A Rede is, very simply, a piece of advice on how to navigate through life.  The simplest version of the rede is two simple words "Harm None".  This works hand-in-hand with the threefold law: that which we do affects us physically, mentally and spiritually.  When I say "Harm None" I don't think I can go through life without ever causin harm, I eat meat, I'm sure I've stepped on an ant or two, I make mistakes... sometimes my decisions will hurt one person or another and there is no way around it (discipling a child for instance).  But we try to take the path that is the least harmful because we know that our actions have consequences both in the world around us and within ourselves.\n\nTake a look at the more extensive write up at the website below if you have any questions.  And blessed be :-)


What's the melting/freezing point and density of hydronium?

the question as written has no answer.  hydronium is an ion that only exists in a solution, never by itself. so it can't have a melting point or freezing point or a density


My dad has four. Wouldn't he love a daughter? Y do u believe in such a weak GOD? How could there be only 1? And who's the lucky lady, Miss Universe? She's got to be really beautifull. The point is GOD does not have any children or wife or blah,blah,blah and the list goes on......! HE doesn't need any of them. Y would HE have HIS only child as it's claimed today to be killed by the very humans he created himself. What will HE gain. RESPECT?, POWER? WHAT?....NOTHING!

no sons ... he is the one almighty glory to him


say your name was david dole is there away it can change to a native american like morning star

as you said in your question, you would just change it from one to the other, legally of course at the courthouse, \n\nhowever if your looking for a literal translation there is none for english names, those words did not exist in our history.


Your company is organize a funfair for all the employees and their families design and advertisement using powerpoint facilities. 5 minutes.\nPlease help me to create this presentaion.

I would get pictures of families having fun, that relate to the activities planned for the fun fair, and use them in each slide.  Fun music in the background would be fun too.  Also, if you have pictures of your co-workers doing silly stuff, a little comic relief is good too.  Slip in a few comics from dilburt might be a nice touch.
