Please help me figure out this problem so i can understand it.\n\nIf you are opening a door by pushing too close to the side where the hinges are, you may find it difficult to open. Suppose you are trying to open a door that is 85 cm wide.\na. What is the best mechanical advantage that you can obtain for any door that you simply push open?

The amount of torque applied is force * length.  At 1 cm from the hinge, a 5 N force provides 5 Ncm of torque.  At 85cm, you would have 85 times as much torque, or 425Ncm.


Abortion, when the woman's life is not threatened, should always be illegal.

Yes, I agree that it should always be illegal.  The number of cases where the mothers life is in danger is miniscule in comparison to when it is not.  I have been there and gone through with it.  I regret it.  A lot.  Thankfully, I have a Savior who is forgiving........


is it from the med hes on or the disease it self? he was just diagnosed like 7 months ago . never had a problem before????? why now???

Erectile Dysfunction in diabetics is not uncommon.  People with diabetes suffer from a number of problems, one of which is vasculopathy.  This basically means a degeneration of blood vessels.  I know he was only diagnosed 7 months ago, but many diabetics have diabetes for years before they are diagnosed, all the while sustaining damage that results from high blood sugars.  Advice:  You need a good endocrinologist to manage his diabetes care.  Also, make an appointment with a diabetes nurse educator.  Education is the key to maintaining a good quality of life with diabetes.


I think it's something like this:  you have to see/hear/do the new thing every day for x-number of days before it becomes a "memory".  I think the number is 21 days but I'm not sure.

What?\n\nYou know it depends on muscle memory or music, do you like what you are trying to remember? Is it important. All factors, yo.

Looking for things that are pretty when done, limited mess, and a 4-5 year old can do with minimal assistance. Think paper, glue, kiddie scissors...

My favorite is to cut our large construction paper hearts, and paste (photcopied) pictures of their family/friends on top of the hearts.  Your can use glitter pens to reduce the mess of glitter (although more expensive).  It makes a great project to hang on the wall!

why do people make fun of me because i'm sensitive?

They are uncomfortable with your differences.  Sensitive people are easy to hurt and there lots of people out there who have fun hurting other's feelings.\n\nIt's difficult but necessary to become less sensitive.  Over time being exposed to the insensitivity of others will harden you.


I have a friend in Iraq part of the CIA. He got pushed in their because he father was an agent.


Cadillac Mountain is in Acadia National Park in Maine. My math and science skills are WAY too weak to answer this one!

Let's specify "noon" as noon for that point on the earth, and ignore local time zones which use a local average for what is called noon.\n\nThe annual change in the relative position of the Earth's axis in relationship to the sun causes the height of the sun (solar altitude) to vary in our skies. The total variation in maximum solar altitude for any location on the Earth over a one year period is 47° (2 x 23.5 = 47). For example, at 50° North maximum solar altitude varies from 63.5° on the summer solstice to 16.5° on the winter solstice (Figure 6h-9). As measured from the due south.\nSince Cadilac Mt is at 44 1/3 degrees North Latitude, the sun would be at 44.33 + 23.5 = 67.88 degrees.


Taking into consideration the heavy toll on the US army and the fact that the situation in Iraq could  be prolonged.....

NO! NO! NO! And to these people saying that oh we are fighting the people that brought down the towers. Iraq had nothing to do with that so destroying the people and their country is stupid. The reason the terrorists are there are because we are. They want to kill US! So we should have stayed in afganastan and then to saudi arabia where the killers of 911 came from. That is if you even believe all that our goverment has told you.


Keep in mind that this isn't a chat room and a posting like this will often get reported. Not the first time, won't be the last.\n\nJust thought you should know. Good luck.


i asked a previous guestion that led me to another guestion.i had a few people say that its only 4 inches long. how do porn stars fit like 12 inches? ive seen them fit 2 liters up them! and if its only 4 inches in depth untill you hit the cervix like people told me it was and it would never get bigger. they said that if he is longer that 4 inches then he cant go in all the way. than how come my 7 in. fiance can fit no problem with no pain.can it strech with out pain for intercourse?

It is average 4 inches. (anterior wall 31/2 inches and Posterior wall 41/2 inches) .  Inside the vagina there are transverse folds which stretch and dilate during intercourse and delivery especially for the women who delivered more than one child.


Hi, our wireless router at home doesnot allow more than one person to get online at the same time, anybody knows the reason and solution. many thanks,\n\nthe router maker is Linksys, and we bought it just under one year ago.

Every computer requires a unique address called the IP accress for connecting to the Internet.  Its like a home, every home needs a specific address so that the postal system can forward postal mail.  Earlier routers (as the one that you have) may not allow multiple IP allocation so you may not be able to use the router with multiple computers.  However, what you can do is set up a home wireless computer.  The main computer connects to the Internet and other computers connect wirelessly to the main computer so that the main computer acts as the Internet proxy.\n\nFor more info, go to this website:\n\nhttp://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1428


- Have you used them?  Do they make you lose weight?  Do they make your stomach flatter?  Are they uncomfortable like a laxative?

They are to cleanse impurities from your colon.  When done, you need to eat yogurt to replace the good bacteria in your colon, or you will get the runs.  Also, eat fiber afterwards to replace the bulk.  If you want a flatter stomach, go out jogging or bicycling.


I want to learn to play the keyboard and I have a few dollars to burn ($200).  The following features are important to me:  ability to record songs (hopefully in midi format), midi and/or usb data transfer, any kind of built in learning system (hopefully a good TV one) and touch sensitive keys.

Since you have a computer. Any low-to-midrange Casio or similar brand will do. Use your computer to record it. That way you just need to find one that has a midi interface.\n\nIf you really want to learn, you want to make sure it has good sized keys, not the small keys that are hard to play.


The banks in our town have drive thru ATM's. Right there on the drivers side are Braille instructions. Surely the blind cannot drive through and use the machines! Why do the companies spend money to add this feature, when no one can use it?

All the ATMS are the same whether they are in the drive throughs or inside the bank. I think that it just comes standard and it will probably cost more to have two version of ATM.\nGood question though, I never thought of it.

While I have a basic understanding, if congress were to pass a bill that the President would later Veto, is there a way that the bill could still become law?

I just found out I have chlamydia and I dont know from who? I accused my boyfriiend of 2 1/2 yrs that he cheated on me but he swears he didnt. So now I wish I could clear his name but I know that I havent cheated on him. Is there any other way to get it then just from sex?

Not likely,see the links attached, I am sorry this is really messed up, but if you know you did not cheat on him..... and you know you did not have it before him...Well you do the math - numbers do no lie..\nQuestion: Has he been tested if my GF came down with something I would want to be tested. They could tell who had it longer by who's case is more advanced. -- Bottom line you can't just ignore this. You have to get treatment.

im doing a research paper on obesity and i need some answers

Yes it is. I'm currently writing a thesis on Adult Obesity myself. Obesity is a medical condition that affects not only the US but also a large percentage of the world. Furthermore it is an American epidemic. The percentage of childhood obesity increases annually. Its also a major public health problem because obesity is a well-known and proven risk factor to other diseases - such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, gallbladder disease, gout, stroke, sleep apnoea, depression and osteoarthritis of the weight-bearing joints. \n\nFor general facts on obesity, I would advise you to consult a nutrionist, a professional or a medical encyclopedia. Cheers!


I think his chocolate city comments were out of line.  I personally don't live there but, I am ashamed of his actions.  Also, Do you think his outlandish comments will affect Washington from sending much need help?

Nagin's problem is going to be that all the people who move back in time for the next election are likely to be white Republicans. As far as I know, he hasn't broken any laws, so he can't be impeached. A recall election is a possibility, but with the city in as big a mess as it is, that possibility is very remote at best.\n\nI would be surprised if the even ran again, to tell you the truth.


My Childrens father and I live together\nsleep in same room, same bed, are sexually involved\nHe say's he has no feelings for me, but he had a bad\nbreak up with his ex fiancee and I think is scared of getting hurt. He acts jealous of me at times and also\nsays things sometimes that suggest he does have feelings for me

Question is, do u want to live with him like that?I think it`s pretty painful to hear that the partner says he has no feelings anymore. I`m sure you 2 have talked about it? It`s a pretty tuff question and i don`t think that anyone can give u an answer to that but ur boyfriend. Keep talking with him about it.... I hope everything works out for u

I have already looked up pictures on the net and have only found one that I like.  It is a tattoo that Diana Reyes (singer from a mexican singing group; Horoscopo de Durango) has on her stomach.  I know what I want is out there, I just need help finding it.  Give me some suggestions or ideas of where I can find what I am looking for.

This is a perfect opportunity for you to find a tattoo artist that you trust and work together on a design that you'll love for the rest of your life.\n\nI don't have any tattoos, but my sister has worked at a parlour for the past five years and she has told me that it is much more rewarding for both the artist and the customer if they collaborate on a design. The added bonus is that you will end up with a piece of original art and not some flash off the wall that half the guys down at the Sip & Serve are sporting on their biceps.


If there is an actual answer, I would love to know...

Current estimates of brain capacity range from 1 to 1000 terabytes! *terabyte is a 1000 gigabytes\n  \n"Robert Birge (Syracuse University) who studies the storage of data in\nproteins, estimated in 1996 that the memory capacity of the brain was\nbetween one and ten terabytes, with a most likely value of 3\nterabytes. Such estimates are generally based on counting neurons and\nassuming each neuron holds 1 bit. Bear in mind that the brain has\nbetter algorithms for compressing certain types of information than\ncomputers do."

agreed upon.  The Judge let the jury go back in the jury room and decide on another verdict.  My Question is did he have the right to allow the jury to redeliberate, when the first verdict was already read in the court room?  My lawyer ask for mistrial, also a dismisal with no evidence; however, the judge ignore the attorney request.  looked at my son and said you're going to prison. by the way the first verdict read, was not quilty. Since the judge let the jury redeliberate within five minute of the second verdict it was quilty.  Oh, I cannot get the court reporter dispositon, it have been eight months. I am African American take that into account.**** Who is holding that diposition report?  this case cost me $12,500. The law is not for African Americans, you are "f".  My Lawyer was wonderful.

It is entirely possible the jury foreman simply made a mistake in filling out the verdict form.  The person you should talking to about your questions is the attorney who represented your son at the trial. You need an expert opinion on what grounds, if any, there are for an appeal.


i dont have a house.  i have student loans i've paid, which ive been told you can get money back from that.  I also went on unemployment for a short time, in which i never paid any fedial income tax.  now i have a W2 from two employers.  would it be worth seeing somebody about doing my taxs? could they get more money for me that i dont know about?

NO - you can buy a pretty decent tax program from Tax Act for $19.95.  It's at least worth the time it saves you to fill out all of the lines on your tax form.  They go through a pretty thorough question and answer structure that encompasses everything.


I have a friend, who I'm concerned about.

If this is a moral question, leave it to your friend to figure out.\n\nIf it's just a concern about health then the more important issue is if your friend is using protection and not how many partners he/she has.


and not for Presidents Day? Does anyone know why that is?

Although I don't get both days off & I don't care to do, I do respect this man as he was a man who fighted for what is right and his move helped to changed a lot in America's history.  Believing that men are equal no matter their color is, fighting race is something we must raise our hat too


And you can only say so if you've heard 4 or more of their songs. Otherwise, your opinion isn't based on much is it?

Linkin Park is awesome! and i have heard a lot of their songs. and the people with the answers in the question above don't know good music.


Is it because when we sleep, blood circulation flows slower in the brain that we have to leave up our head...and that's because we need a pillow?

No, it's all about our spines actually. . . when laying down without a pillow there is a big stress in your neck. In the morning you will have a stiff neck and funny posture. Over a long time you could end up with scoliosis or have a mis curved spine.


is it wise to show a man friend that you love him

It depends on the field you are going into.  But more then likely it is better to go straight for your Master.  It used to be just your Bachleors but now everyone has a degree but everyone doesn't have a masters.


this includes ancient and historical time periods

I would take a math and a physics class from Issac Newton.


But my husband cheats and asks for forgiveness and I forgive him. Now am having an urge to cheat but I dont want to break my marriage.More over I have a lot of friends who are doing it (cheat). Is my feeling right?

No your feelings are not right, and while you may feel justified. It's not gonna help your marriage.\nDo not feel that you have to follow your friends example, just because they are doing it, It does not make it right, and eventually it will catch up with them. It always does.  \n\nPlease Seek counciling IMMEDIATELY\n\nIn all honesty you should have when for counciling after your hubbys first affair. Men especially have trouble stopping once they start. He allowed another woman to provide for his "needs" who was not his wife. The problem is The other woman see's in him what you saw on the day you decided to marry him.  That is why you need a third party, someone who is Neutral who can help you hold him accountable to the marriage, and to help you expose the lies that have come upas a result. because saddly with an affair there are lies, and half truths by both of you.   \nTry reading the book His needs, Her needs. By Willard harley jr. It shares alot of stories about couples who struggle in a marriage, some of the stories involve affairs, by both men and women. \n\nBoth of you have "Needs" that are going unmet. The marriage will not survive if this continues as it is. It's affecting your marriage and will lead to divorce if you continue to allow others to get between the both of you. \nonce good thing from this temptation is you now know how your hubby felt just before he fell for the other woman. Do you remember how you felt when you found out about his affair? remember that feeling. Do you remember his actions, how he felt after you caught him? remember that also. Because if you follow through, You will one day be in his shoes trying to say I'm sorry, and asking for forgiveness. \n\nYou can help him more by confronting this feeling. and giving him an example of how to constructively handle the problem instead of running away from it. \n\nBy getting help your acknowledgeing your weak at the moment, and by turning to your partner, and asking to talk it through with a counciler you can actually help a marriage become stronger.\n\nYour in my prayers,\nGod Bless


I was talking to my brother the other day and told him about this game we play in Ohio called Cornhole and he had no idea what I was talking about.

I know the game! The bean-bag tossing game, right? But I'm with you, everytime I bring it up no one knows what I'm talking about. We played in Indiana. Maybe it's just a midwest thing.\n\nBut still, I tend to think of "A" when I hear it.\n\nUPDATE: According to the following article, it may have originated in Cincinnati and has spread throughout Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee ans West Virginia. So it is a midwest thing. \nhttp://www.enquirer.com/editions/2002/07/14/spt_worlds_best-kept.html\n\nDid you know there is an American Cornhole Association?

I don't want opinions, I want facts please.

According to many of the research and survey websites that collect data on the world's religions, the fastest growing is Islam with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Neopaganism right behind it. The data, as mentioned on the websites, is not conclusive, it merely is data collected by religious groups themselves and then compiled. Thus, the numbers could be inflated. But so far the numbers from year to year show a steady increase in Islam, a decline in Christianity, and Hinduism, Buddhism and Neopaganism also rising very quickly in numbers of proclaimed adherents.


how assertive are female adolescents nowadays when it comes to sex? the study (my thesis) shows that they are in between being assertive and being passive. You can either agree or disagree.

Female adolescents today have music and television to contend with.  They try to portray what they see and hear.  I think they grow more assertive each year.

we are only 16 but we have bentogether 4 3years. what should i do. he feels we should brake up becouse of his hormounds, so he dumped my today.(i can't stop crying) i need help.

16 is way too early for that promise. I know at 16 you think it is the right time, but trust me, I was there at one time. At 16, he may want to play the field a bit as he gets older, it seems to be the way with guys. I would suggest moving on. You will realize you will have plenty of other guys in your life, but give it time and don't rush into anything yet. Enjoy being single and get to know yourself. By having all long term relationships at your age, it makes it hard to find out who you are, instead you tend to lean towards what your guys are like and so on. Find yourself and save that sort of promise until you are at least in your 20's.\n\nI know it is hard, but believe me, time will heal your pain. In the meantime, be around people who love you and make you happy. This is a good time to be around friends and family you may have neglected when you had a boyfriend (maybe not, but I know some girls do), and ultimately this will help you through this rough time.

Cortázar, Julio (hū'lyō kōrtä'zär) , 1914–84, Argentine novelist, poet, essayist, and short-story writer, b. Brussels. Moving permanently to France in 1951, Cortázar gradually gained recognition as one of the century's major experimental writers. His works reflect the influence of French surrealism, psychoanalysis, and his love of both photography and jazz, along with his strong commitment to revolutionary Latin American politics. Widely considered his masterpiece, Hopscotch, (1963; tr. 1966) creates a world full of fantasy and satire, where eroticism, humor, and play offer solace for life's cruelty and despair. His other works include End of the Game (1956; tr. 1967), Sixty-two: A Model Kit (1972; tr. 1972), All Fires the Fire and Other Stories (tr. 1973), and A Change of Light and Other Stories (tr. 1980).

i want you to avail me with every manutd news

i don;t think mikel obi is gonna come to Man Utd.. in fact, i dont think it is worthwhile for sir alex to battle for mikel, such arrogance at a young age.. he don;t have the heart to play for manchester united.. he don;t even have what it takes to play in united, only good enough for second class clubs like chelsea =)\n\nanyhow, manchester united has recently signed nemanja vidic (from spartak moscow if i;m not mistaken).. he is a defender, one of the serbia and montenegro's 'famous 4' defence. they only let in 1 goal throughout the whole world cup qualifier campaign.\n\nbesides that, united has nearly closed the deal to bring in patrick evra from monaco.. he is quite a good player, one of those who played in the champions league final 2 year ago between monaco and porto (which porto won). he aims to become the next eric cantona, his french compatriot.\n\nHAIL MANCHESTER UNITED!!!\n\n\n*******************\n\nit was said that manchester united has put up a 3.8mil pound bid for thomas gravesen of real madrid... natural replacement for roy keane, i assume..


is it possible 4 oprah 2 get her embryo fertilized?her legacy has 2 continue.we need people like her 2 change dis world 4 good.i know oprah is over 50 but with science and modern technology we have more options these days.so oprah think about this.i believe there r a lot of female fans who will b more than willing 2 surrogate 4 u.oprah would u like 2 visit nigeria?u have a lot of fans here 2 u know.

Im not oprah, but just to let you in on a little detailed, you dont dont have to surrogate to help out. You can help out anyone in need of help. Dont take me wrong, I love oprah, she is a verry good example for any community. I think oprah, in her own way has many kids all over the world. Her blessings to other people are scaterred thru out the nation. You can bring a smile to anyone, including me.

Specifically what causes one item to actually move to another item?

Well even though humans have known about magnets for thousands of years, the real reason they work is still somewhat mysterious. Depending on how deep you want to investigate, it can be a very complicated phenomenon. \n\nA magnet is, at its foundation, caused by the movement of electrical charge (yes this is the Biot-Savart Law). When charges (like electrons for example) move, they produce magnetic fields. If a charge moves in a loop, it creates a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be basically represented by an invisible set of arrows in space, that point in a direction. In the case of the loop, the arrows of the magnetic field will point out of the loop for a positive charge moving counter clockwise (this is the so-called "right hand rule"), and into the loop for a charge moving clockwise (some pictures are in the reference attached). \n\nThe magnetic field has a "north" end and a "south end". The little arrows from our moving charge are pointing in the "north" magnetic direction, and away from the "south" magnetic direction. It is a mysterious and interesting property of electromagnetism that two objects with fields that oppose each other, i.e., the little arrows of the field do not line up, so either the north end of one field is facing the north end of the other field, or the two south ends are facing each other, repel, or resist movement of the two objects towards each other with some force. \n\nOn the other hand, if the little arrows line up, the two objects attract each other with some force. \n\nThe forces that result from magnetic fields (and for that matter, electric fields) are fundamental forces, and part of the four fundamental forces of the universe (strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravity).  It is believed that these forces are caused, at their base, by particles passing "messenger particles" back and forth. In the case of electromagnetism, the messenger particle is a photon. How this actually works is still somewhat poorly understood, and is involved with the world of quantum mechanics, which is very counterintuitive but interesting. \n\nHowever, what is important is that we understand it well enough to make models of magnetism, and to make predictions based on those models which we can verify and use. All of electricity and electric motors are based on our ability to design systems with magnets and to be able to build and use them.


Imaginary numbers has always confused me so how do you use i and somehow solve an equation with it.

just remember that i equals the square root of -1.  every time you see a negative square root split it up:  square root of -16 = sqare root of 16i = 4i.\n\nif you have 4i x 5i, then you multiply and get 20i^2 and since i is the square root of -1, i^2 = -1.  so 4i x 5i = -20.\n\nhope that helped a bit...

If you are having problems with Yahoo! Games, there are a few things to consider and check:\n\n1.) ONLY use Internet Explorer for this site, as Yahoo! Games is optimized for it and supports only IE. Even if you can get into the games rooms with another browser, use IE for the best performance.\n\n2.) make sure you have the current version of Java. Go to www.java.com to download it.\n\n3.) Make sure you have your current windows updates to make sure everything is up-to-date and working. \n\nAfter that everything should be working.  But the main reason for people not been able to get into Yahoo! Games is because they are not using Internet Explorer or have not updated the java component.

So SACS is coming to visit my public but selective admission boarding high school tomorrow (Wed.) through Friday. This got me to wondering. What exactly will being accredited help us? We are the elite of my state already without accredidation.

accreditation is what assures people that your school is backed by the education system/government standards... although your school has an awesome reputation now, if it was not accredited i can assure you that reputation would go right in the toilet.


I am studing for a science test with the chapter name of Atoms and Bonding

Put simply, the term covalent bond is used to describe the bonds in compounds that result from the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons.\n\nCovalent bonding is an intermolecular form of chemical bonding characterized by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two species, producing a mutual attraction that holds the resultant molecule together. Atoms tend to share electrons in such a way that their outer electron shells are filled. Such bonds are always stronger than the intermolecular hydrogen bond and similar in strength to or stronger than the ionic bond.\n\nCovalent bonding most frequently occurs between atoms with similar electronegativities. For this reason, non-metals tend to engage in covalent bonding more readily since metals have access to metallic bonding, where the easily-removed electrons are more free to roam about. For non-metals, liberating an electron is more difficult, so sharing is the only option when confronted with another species of similar electronegativity.\n(Please definitely see the wikipedia site! it has pictures that explain it better)\n\nAlso look at this site for high school level explanations. This page explains what covalent bonding is. It starts with a simple picture of the single covalent bond, and then modifies it slightly:\nhttp://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/bonding/covalent.html\n(they have lots of examples)

I don't understand if it is like a bank account, or if they put tax money into an "account" that they invest in the stock market. Or what privatizing accounts is exacly...

There is no law in place right now so there is really no right answer. I believe the current administration proposal is that some portion of the social security can go into private accounts, but that the investments will be regulated; you can't invest in highly speculative things like penny stocks, but can invest in high quality bonds, stock market indexes and the like.

Lets say the person is about 200 pounds. How fast do the wind gusts have to be?

A 200 pound man starts having great difficulty at about 80 mph, which is category 1 hurricane strength.\n\nA 200 pound woman would have difficulty much sooner because women are less dense and muscular.\n\nWinds higher than 85 mph would blow most people down.\n\n90 mph would account for virtually everyone.\n\nMost all adults have no problem with a full gale, as gale force winds top out under hurricane strength.\n\nThis is my own estimate from long actual experience personally as well as observing others under these conditons.\n\nI am sure enough to say a scientific study would be approximately the same.\n\nChildren will have severe difficulty walking in 50--60 mph winds, will have to hold hands and make straight for home.\n\nA hurricane will blow them right down.\n\nIt is very easy to get blown off a ship during severe winds, so sailors must be careful during a gale.  But here one is contending with a rocking and pitching motion and a slippery deck in additon to the wind.

When you start your senior year in high school, you could get on the job training in a career or learn a trade. This will prepare you for when you have to go to work upon graduation. You will already have the needed training, plus a possible job waiting for you.

Yes. Any type of training you can receive for free is an excellent opportunity. Welding, air conditioning, and auto mechanic is good.\nZorro, it would be better if you could go on to college. If money is a problem, consult with counselors and they can help you. If school is not for you then continue with a trade. Speaking from experience, get a trade that you can get into a company that will offer benefits like disability insurance. You never know when you may get a serious illness that will keep you from ever working again and believe me that insurance will save your life financially.


I homeschool 2 boys and my 2nd grader had this in a workbook of his. In one sentence it said it was a proper noun, but 2 senteces later it said it wasen't.

When you use the word "dad" in replace of a person's name, then it is proper... example: "Let's go gather the wood that Dad told us to get."\n\nWhen it is used to describe a general being, it is not proper, and should not be capitalized... example: "He is going to be a really good dad."\n\nHope this helps!


i am friends with a guy who has a girlfriend he is always talking to me about thier problems and he is planning on leaving her he acts like he is interested in me im not sure if i should pursue a relationship with him or not what if he is only leaving her to get with me wouldnt he do the same thing to me too i dont want ot be a homewrecker should i stop talking to him

It sounds an awful lot like you're his backup.  Some people don't like to leave one lover until they have someone else waiting in the wings.  I personally do not much trust this type.  They leave me with the impression that their commitment to a relationship is transitory, and that when things get rough, as all relationships do from time to time, they start looking for the next one in line.

Sometimes I get really hungry and can't go back to sleep if I don't eat.

Protein tends to make your mind more alert, whereas carbs tend to make your mind relaxed.  Therefore, avoid lots of protein at night (eggs, meats, etc), and try some sweets.  Fruits and vegetables are always good, or even crackers are good and easy on your stomach.  Even though I said to avoid protein, milk sometimes helps people sleep.  I hope this helps!  Be sure to read the links below for more interesting articles on this topic.  They answer it more completely!


I have a problem. I f*cked my brother's b*tch last week. Now she wants me to f*ck her again. But I don't want to do that anymore. She is crazy she has been calling me every day. I want to tell my brother what I did, but I want to stop that crazy b*tch before. Wat can I do to stop her.

Talk to your brother. Tell him he picked a whore. Expect a mad brother, but a wiser one. Make sure he doesn't go back to her. It's guaranteed you're not the only one who was dipping his wick. \n\nStep away. Cut off all contact from the woman. \n\nYou might think of getting tested for VD if you didn't use a condom.


you r a boy and u like a boy which is ur best friends and he knows that i like him what should i do next to him

don't "do" anything until you've found out if your friend is cool with it.  just be open and honest with him and if he's your best friend he'll understand whether or not he feels the same way.\n\nif you both DO feel the same way then just go with it and see what happens.  it sounds like you're probably young so just do whatever feels right.  just remember to respect each other and don't hurt one another (physically or emotionally!)

How can one of the most powerful countries in the world "fix" everyone else's problems yet allow their own to suffer from poverty, no reasonably priced health care, Yet our senators & reps don't pay into Soc Security and get soooo much ??  Why do we as citizens continue to elect these jack***& let them continue to make these decisions with no repercussions for their behavior??

Because it would be thoroughly unfair to force people to pay for things they can't afford.\n\nGet real.  "Allow" connotes freedom, which is all a government should give you.  And that same "allow" is what permits anyone to make whatever they want out of themselves, purchase whatever they want.  You'd have a gripe if you could phrase the question "How can the US FORBID people from buying food or health insurance," but you can't.


everytime my friend ask him he says the same thing. i don't like it.

I hate to tell u this, but he's right. It may not seem a lot to you, it's only 2 years, right? what's the big deal? it is a lot when he is old enough to drive and you are still in every sense of the word a minor. The things he may want to do, it will be illegal for you to do. The best thing to do is wait. Maybe when you're 18 and he's 20...


I am trying to teach my 11 yr old with flash cards.  Does anyone have any other "fun" suggestions?

Information about the company I work for MetLife Auto & Home.

Property insurance premiums in Florida have risen dramatically.  Not only have the storms caused big increases, but sinkholes are also causing a major problem.  This could be good for agents as far as collecting higher premiums, but bad for loss ratios.


My friend was getting plastic surgery, her insurance was paying.  Then her insurance denied her claim.  She still had enough cash to pay for her surgery, but she kept whining that she was going to cut herself open & feeling sorry for herself.  I told her that she was no worse off than most people who could have no hopes of ever getting that surgery.  She quit speaking to me.  I apologized, but she is still not speaking to me. My husband keeps telling me to call her and patch things up .  I already apologized, even though I didn't think I was being that rude in the first place. This friend never has any qualms about setting me straight when I am feeling sorry for myself.  Am I in the wrong here?

I don't think so, if people can't be mature enough to accept honest opinions from friends, to be honest, me personally I don't care for their friendship, I decided a long time ago that I’m done baby sitting friends, and they know that. I don't get upset of every little thing they say and I expect the same treatment from them.

Really, why do you sweat when your under pressure or nervous.  Please don't get too technical with your answers so that I can understand it :P

In very "human terms" this comes from the basic human reaction of "fight or flight". Whenever there is a situation that puts one "under pressure" whether it is giving a presentation at work or some guy is attacking you with a knife your body reacts to help defend yourself however necessary. When you get like this your heart races, you sweat to cool your body in case you have to work hard, your puples dialate so you can see everything, etc. Your body is protecting itself.\n Hope this helps. If you need claification let me know.


Why is it that people park in handicap spots when they can walk just fine?  They may have a family member that is handicap but that doen't give them the right to park in a spot when they are not with them.  I think it is too easy now a days to get a permit to park in those spots.

because they're insensitive pieces of human excrement.  (by the way, when i mention "you" in the following, i'm not referring to you, dear murdock, but to those jerks who think they can just go around doing whatever they want.)\n\nmy brother is in a wheelchair.  it burns my arse to see some jerk taking up a spot that's SUPPOSED TO BE LEFT OPEN FOR THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE ALREADY MADE DIFFICULT ENOUGH BY NOT BEING ABLE TO FREAKIN' *WALK*!!!!!!!  y'think it's okay to just park there for a bit?  who'll know?  well, it's a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR FINE where i'm from, and you KNOW that i call it in when i see it.  yeah, punk!  was that close spot worth the half-grand?  huh?

My grandfather (deceased) served in Europe during WWII (from about Overlord D+20 until VE day).  I would like to get as much information about his service record (boot camp, OCS, deployment, etc.) as possible, and eventually record it in detail as part of my family history.  My goal is to visit the locations in France and Germany he fought in, and do a full videography / photo journal comparing the sites between then and now.  If anyone knows how I can get his military record, I would greatly appreciate it.

You should start with the National archives but on a different page then the previous suggestions.  You'll need to fill out the SF 180 and either fax or mail the request.  Plus you'll need some very specific information like SSN, complete name, branch of service, date of birth.  Also, check the 1973 fire list, his records may have been destroyed in the fire of 1973.

I purchased a new computer and need to transfer data from my old computer to my new computer.  I have a CAT5e Crossover Patch Cable but I don't know how to do the transfer.  Any information will be appreciated.  Thanks

If both of the PCs are desktop PCs, just take out the hard drive from your old PC and put it as secondary drive in your new PC. It should be automaticaly found and you can either keep it like that or copy all your files (like from one folder to another) and then move back the old drive. If you think you can't do this, you can also go to best buy or circuit city and for about $85 they will do it for you.

ok - when i "defrag" my computer, what am I actually doing, and how can i increase that "space"? - What "space" are they taking about when they say "free space"?  Mine has rapidly dropped from about 70+ to just over 30??

Defragging puts all of the pieces needed to run your program in a close proximity to each other on the hard drive. When you delete programs in your hard drive, you leave empty spaces where pieces of the program were inserted during installation. When you load a new program, the computer goes to the first available slot to place all the parts, so your program could be loading pieces at the beginning, middle and end. This forces your hard drive to hunt all over in accessing all the pieces and putting them together to run your application. By defragging the machine, all the program pieces will be moved and put together so your hard drive can run optimally and access programs as fast as it is capable of doing.The machine is smart enough to realize which program you use most often and make them more accessible in the hard drive itself so that it can be accessed even more quickly.\n\nBefore you start the defrag process you will want to turn off any programs that you are running, including those running in the background like firewalls and anti-virus programs. If you try to defrag when these programs are running, the defrag process will constantly be stopped.\n\nIf you turn off the major programs that you have running and still find that the defrag routine is constantly interrupted, you can defrag from safe mode. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode for Windows. In normal Windows operations, many individual programs may be automatically started along with the Windows operating system. In safe mode, only the operating system and drivers are loaded. Since no other programs are loaded, there is nothing running in the background to interfere with the defrag process.\n\nTo start your computer in safe mode, simply turn the computer off, and when it starts to reboot, press the F8 key. The exact time that you should press the F8 key varies with different Windows versions and it is always difficult to pinpoint. Sometimes pressing the F8 key and holding it down during the boot process will work. Continuously tapping the F8 key during the boot process seems to work the best for most computers. Once the safe mode screen comes up, use the arrow key to choose “Safe Mode”. You can verify that you are in safe mode by noting that the computer screen says “safe mode” in each corner. You may notice that the screen looks different, perhaps grainy or pixilated. That is normal for safe mode. Once in safe mode, start the defrag process as noted above. When the process is complete, click Start/Shutdown to restart the computer.\n\nHow often you defrag your computer depends on the size of your hard drive, the amount you use your computer, and type of use you give it. Once a month is a good practice for most average users. Whether you decide to defrag once a month or just a few times a year, defragging can help your computer run smoother and faster.

My husband is a great guy...he helps around the house, he respects me 110% never a bad word from him, we hardly ever have crazy arguments...he is a wonderful man, but he is not the affectionate type and it is usually me initiating the i love you's.  Hugs and kisses are given before we part everday no fail, but when you just wanna hug through out the day it is hard to just reach over and get a hug or kiss without him getting irritated, Am i wasting time on a guy that doesn't love me!!!! Does affection equal love???

Affection does not equal love.  Some people were not given a lot of hugs and kisses by their parents growing up.  They can be totally in love and devoted to someone and feel almost no need for that stuff.  They will experience stress and resentment when they feel that excessive affection is expected.\n\nThe buddah said that everyone has 83 problems.  If this is one of your big ones, you're in great shape.

When your dressing up for ice hockey what do you wear under your equipment? For example shirts

wear cotton, long johns are important because the shin pads are usually secured using either big rubber bands or velcro straps over the ice hockey socks that are usually either wool (old timers like me) which is very very itchy, or the newer stuff which is very very cold! Wear long sleeve cotton shirts because the elbow pads are usually uncomfortable without them.

Why is it that grants that involve disabilites and minorities are open to whoever, but ones that are based on skills/talents/effort are ALWAYS competitive?\n\no_O

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

and where to sell gold in Arkansas and can you sell flower gold

There have been some reports of gold dust (along with fool's gold) being found in placer deposits southwest of Hot Springs. However, since this area is highly tourist oriented, you might want to consider that this story may be perpetuated just to increase business.  There is a discussion board linked to this site that seems to have more questions than answers. The Akansas Geological Commission has a short write up documenting USGS efforts and previous AGC efforts to find gold. They have concluded that no commercial quantities exist. However, their report does confirm the placer deposits SW of Hot Springs and is likely the source of all the reports. \n\nFrom a geologic standpoint, there is little likelihood of finding gold in Arkansas. Gold is associated with hydrothermal deposits created by igneous processes (often associated with plutons). Gold is often precipitated in veins along with quartz and other minerals found in these hydrothermal waters. From the reports I have read, the few instances of this type of geologic process in Arkansas, probably related to the Ouchita Orogeny did not seem to carry gold along in the hydrothermal solutions. \n\nA gold mine operated unsuccessfully in Rogers Arkansas around the turn of the last century. http://www.rogersarkansas.com/museum/donationOfTheMonth/10-02.asp\n\nAs was true even during the 1849 Gold Rush in California, there is often more money to be made selling shovels and picks (and Levi's) than prospecting for gold. I would suggest selling your fines (gold dust) on eBay where you will likely earn more than the gold value. There are collectors of  gold nuggets and gold dust from various locales that will pay more than face value for gold in it's natural condition. Good luck and have fun.


Anyone know about this method please help me urgently

http://www.apniurdu.com has a very simple translator but not an efficient one.\nhttp://www.apnizuban.com claim that they would give such a utility too.


I'm trying to see if they're legit.  I received a "Memorandum of Notification" in the mail stating that I was the beneficiary of a certain sum of money and that I should contact them immediately concerning retrieval of said funds.  Seems like a hoax.

It is a scam. As soon as you contact them they will ask for a processing fee. I Googled \n\n"United Claims Center" Cash\n\n(with the quotation marks exactly as typed) and found 25 warnings in 0.46 seconds. That proves my Internet skills are better than yours. You are probably better looking, though.

i've recently started watching the show, and i love it. (actually i've only seen the last 2 new episodes)

I have enjoyed the episodes I have seen.  He's so quirky, and I find I really like the uniqueness.  In the same genre, I also love Columbo, Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason, Dennis Weaver's McCloud, Rockford Files, Charlie's Angels, and Canon.  Modern TV sux.  Well CSI with Grisham is pretty good.  I used to be a fan of X files too, but got bored w/ it.


Why does TV always show gangsters and thugs holding pistols sideways instead of the proper vertical orientation?  Is it just for the "cool" factor?

The same reason they hold microphones clear to the top thereby losing much of the useful pickup characteristics designed into the microphone.  One person does it and someone thinks it's cool then the next one does it and so on.  Nevermind the fact that the sideways orientation of the firearm makes accuracy nearly impossible and kickback from the firearm dangerous, not to mention ejected hot shell casings will fly up into your face and go down your shirt that is cooly unbuttoned.  How about the baggy pants that make running impossible, or the light up tennis shoes that make it easy for a police officer to follow a perp in the dark.  Much of "cool" fashion is so foolish it's laughable.  I still haven't even figured out why the vocalists keep grabbing their crotch area then pointing at the audience while taking giant steps sideways.  What is the most absurd about all of this is that all of the people following in lockstep repeating all of this crap are convinced that they are rugged individualists expressing their own unique personality.  In reality they are simply reflecting what they have seen on the big glass brain stealer (That's TV).  Well I gotta go now.  It's time for me to put on my stocking cap.  Man will I be glad when that craze passes, it's so hot I can't stand it, but what the heck at least I look hip and it hides my bald spot.  Peace out.\n\nJust read the answer from "Uchaboo"  That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.  The orientation of the gun does nothing to affect the flight of the bullet other than make it difficult to aim.  Please tell me why you think a bullet fired from a sideways gun would act differently than a bullet fired from a gun held correctly?  Maybe they should hold it upside down so it will fly out backwards and the flat back end of the bullet leave a bigger hole?


What do you think happens after you die? Are you re-born? I want to know what people think...Hell or Heaven? Choose

In my evaluation I am of the view that it is extremely unlikely that life originated and evolved on its own through random chance (even if it did evolve, then it is very likely it was 'directed' to do so by a Creator).  Even so, there is very strong diverse evidence for life after death (NDE's, spirits, communications with the dead, etc.).  Though I encourage everyone to  make there own conclusions or leanings, whilst trying to be objective and unbiased as possible, the more I investigate this, the closer I come to the conclusion that we have a soul that survives physical death.\n\nFor us, life after death is the greatest mystery of all, and in the end, the only one that matters.


I want to buy steelers stuff for my boyfriend who is a HUGE fan.every place I've found only has hats and shirts. please help!

Try Ebay, they just won the super bowl and there should be plenty of stuff to chose from.


A woman went to take a bath. The water turned to blood. Then someone raised up from the water and pulled their eyeballs out one at a time. I know in the movie someone was trying to scare her to death, but that's all I remember.

xp pro, ati 9200 video, sp2...Is multi OS an option? If it is, do I have to reformat the hard drive?

But keep in mind that compatibility mode doesn't always work that great.  XP is based on Windows 2000 (NT) technology so not every old program is going to work with it.  In fact, I have had little to no success with compatibility mode, if that doesn't work, I honestly don't know what to tell you.  Windows 95/98 don't like installing after XP has been installed.

IF a man penetrates a little girl and rapes her over and over again; effectivly ruining her life; why does this "person" get to enter back into society after they served thier time. There is so much evidence that supports taht they are not rehabilitaed and habitually do it again. Shouldn't they be killed? They deserve it. They are destructive to thier victims and area  threat when they return to society. Penetrate/ rape/ molest a child; get put to death. Is that so wrong?

Well... yeah, that is so wrong.  Everything you listed there seems pretty bad to me... rape/molest/death.\n\nThis isn't such a simple issue.  Perhaps it is true that some sex offenders should be in prison for life without parole, but whether the state should execute people for any crime is another issue.\n\nIt actually statistically costs more money to keep a person on death row and deal with the appeals process than it does to just keep them in prison for the rest of their natural life.\n\nOn top of that, some registered sex offenders are people who got caught pissing outside when they were drunk.  I don't think they deserve the death penalty.


I am having a problem in forecasting a financial statement about adding a depreciation expense in cashflow even though there is no accumulated depreciaiton in the balance sheet under fixed asset it will not balance on the actual amount, on the other hand if I didn't include the depreeciaiton in cashflow the balance sheet will balance.  Can you help me on this?

Depreciation is added into every cash flow statement that I have ever seen where a company has fixed depreciable assets. Since it reduces net income but does not currently rely on the use of cash, you add it back. The purchase of the asset would be handled seperately as a use of cash. If you have a depreciation expense you should have an accumulated depreciation amount on your balance sheet. That sounds like your problem.\n\nEquipment $10,000.00\naccum depr. 1,000.00\nnet asset $ 9,000.00\n\nIf your first years depreciation was $1,000.00 then that would be on the income statement as an expense and on the cash flow as an add back to cash flow. You would also have an equipment purchase of $10,000.00 reducing your cash flow.


There are a number of interesting functions demonstrated for stipules of certain plant species.\nAlso protection of emerging leaves.\n\n   1. Stipules that are green may be leaf-like (Examples: flowering quince, a geranium, and a sycamore) , linear, thread-like, or reduced to minute scales, thereby requiring a hand lens to see. Plant biologists have assumed that green stipules are photosynthetic, but ecophysiologists generally have not determined how significant green stipules may be as temporary or persistent photosynthetic structures. Anatomical reports on photosynthetic stipules are exceedingly rare, so that we know little about the presence of stomates and the nature of the mesophyll in stipules.\n   2. If hardened with lignin, a stipule may become modified as a spine, i.e., a stipular spine. In many species, one stipular spine or a pair of stipular spines may be observed at each node, e.g., among legumes, and for legumes, the stipular spine is the typical type of shoot armature (Examples: coral tree, Chloroleucon, and a mimosa). Obviously, stipular spines were effective in their specific native habitat for many of these cases as an adaptation to reduce predation by vertebrate herbivores. Very large, hollow stipular spines in certain species of bull acacia (Acacia, Family Mimosaceae) serve as homes for ants, which defend the plant from all other herbivores. Stipular spines are extremely important forms of shoot armature for the succulent euphorbs (Family Euphorbiaceae; examples: crown-of-thorns, young stipular spines, and old stipular spines), most species of which occur in thorny scrub and woodland as well as desert habitats in Africa and southern Asia. Stipular spines also are present on certain climbers.\n   3. In many groups of plants, stipules are short-lived, nonphotosynthetic structures that abscise before the leaf is fully expanded (a legume). Such stipules tend to be nongreen, often hyaline (an elm), off-white (ramie), yellow, or brownish, but there are some remarkable cases where the stipule is brilliantly colored, especially with anthocyanins, red to purple vacuolar pigments (Talauma hodgsonii). A nongreen stipule probably can be regarded as vestigial, lacking any function for the mature leaf and shoot but perhaps protecting the young leaf while it is at the growing tip.\n   4. Sometimes stipules and stipels have evolved as extrafloral nectaries, utilized to nourish mutualistic ants, or other types of glands.\n   5. In Smilax, a lianaceous monocotyledon, the stipule may develop as a tendril.\n   6. For whatever function, corky stipules are known from certain dryland shrubs, for example, the species of creosote bush (Larrea young stipules of L. tridentata and older stipules in L. nitida) in New World deserts and the tough-leaved evergreen species of Ceanothus in California chaparral.


I'm 15, & have noticed such a narrow outlook amounst all of my peers.  Most have never been to an opera, never been to another country... many have nevery read a book!  I kid you not... NEVER READ A BOOK!  What gives?  Where can I meet other kids my age who have had this exposure.  I should mention that I'm a sophmore in college.

Your question is not new.  Many people of older generations asked similar questions when they were at your age. The fact is, many people don't read a book, yet quite many others do read many books.  If you want to find friends who read books, go to where plenty of books are read or where people talk about books, e.g. libraries, bookstores, book discussion groups, etc.\n\nColleges are supposed to be places where people like or need to read books.  Unfortunately, higher education in the USA is more a business company than an educational institute. Different companies make money in different ways with different products and different focuses.  So, perhaps you are in a "wrong" type of college for you.

We know that derivative of log x = 1/x\nWhy? I mean, that's where we start. But nobody tells us WHERE has log to the base 'e' come from. And what about the proof of Euler's identity?

It sounds to me like you have a rotten calculus teacher who is pandering to those crybaby computer science majors who complain about proofs.  Demand proofs during lecture: mathematics is not a faith based enterprise.\n\nThe best way, in my opinion, to derive Euler's formula is to use the power series expansions of exp(x), sin(x), cos(x), and then just let x = i(t).  You'll be able to see that the cos(t)+isin(t) series add up to the series expansion of exp(it).  \n\nIt makes some intuitive sense that this should happen, since the sin and cos functions correspond very strongly to the y and x coordinates of a point on the unit circle in the xy-plane (the xy-plane is a two dimensional vector space over the real numbers) while the complex plane is also a two dimensional vector space over the real numbers, only we're now using {1,i} as a basis for the space, rather than {(1,0),(0,1)}.  Now, remember that you can write any point in the xy-plane as a linear combination of (1,0) and (0,1), and if you look at the right hand side of Euler's formula, you'll see that the same thing is happening, but just with 1 and i, and the 'x' and 'y' components of a vector with angle theta (although Euler's formula only gives points on the complex unit circle -- but we CAN scale them by a real multiple to get any other complex number, and that's called DeMoivre's Theorem).\n\nAs for where e^x comes from, we can define e by:\ne := (1+x)^(1/x) in the limit as x->0\nand also by:\ne := (1+1/n)^n in the limit as n->infinity\n\nSince typing in math is kind of hard here (and I suppose it's extremely optimistic to think that's ever going to change), here's a website with the computation for deriving the property (d/dx)(lnx)=1/x (it just uses the chain rule):\nhttp://oregonstate.edu/instruct/mth251/cq/Stage6/Lesson/log.html

We've been married 13 years what can I get him this year?????

That depends on the marriage itself, if it lacks excitement, & your an open minded person, take him to him to an Adult-Store first to get his blood pumping, then dinner etc. after dinner take him to a gentlemens club, then home.  I'm sure this will be a surprise for him, & will benefit both of you...


I'm a stay at home mother and do not have an income, as far as taxes go is it better for us to file "Married, filing jointly" or have my husband file "Head of Household" - Last year we filed jointly even though I had no income.

Most likely, Married Filing Jointly, as this category pays less tax.


I'm tired of American soldiers/Marines dying.  Is just war for Oil and American love for money or is there real humanitan reason to be there.

I am a US Marine and we will pull out whenever the mission is accomplished. BY THE WAY, the reasons of OIL or American love for money have nothing to do with it... I'll give you an example of why we are there...Sadamm was such an evil tyranical man that he struck fear in the people of Iraq through actions such as torture (feeding people feet first into wood chippers just so they could scream and feel the pain longer) or shooting people simply because they may not have agreed with him. It is a war that was necessary to bring freedom to the People of Iraq. Any other negative talk is just deminishing what we have accomplished so far and what we will complete. I have lost a few friends myself but we all signed up understanding that it could happen and we are willing to sacrifice if it means freedom for them and mission accomplishment.\nP.S. I've served for a couple of presidents so far and you mock us by knocking our Commander in Chief and his staff. Look at the bigger picture.\n\nP.S.S. Smedley D. Butler was a long time ago and his efforts were for a different war. He's not in this conflict. \n\nP.S.S.S. The war may be "over" but the clean up and peace keeping mission is still active.

Well maybe get a nicer humidor...people that smoke cigars are suppoesed to have money lol....anyways...im guessin its wooden...any wood glue is safe...elmers....if you decide that only super glue will work with that plastic on wood im guessing then be sure to air it out for a week or so before using it you wouldnt want to ruin yer cigars....good luck with that

A good website to help you start programing

It all depends on what language you want to learn. I'd suggest diving right into it with java, or C#.  They are relatively similar languages, aside from the fact that one is based on Windows technology and the other is multi-platform.

neck is weak, goes down into my shoulder into my left arm and put's it to sleep most of the time

You MUST go see a specialist.  Sounds to me like you have stenosis in one or more of the disks in your neck.  There are several outcomes possible...your body healing itself with traction helping a great deal to let the disks "absorb" back in...anti-inflamatories, massage, strengthening exercises...or surgery if needed.  I am not a medical professional so I am just sharing what I know...but you need professional advise.  Good luck to you!


Looking to raise small farm animals & breed shepards

I use http://www.HomePriceMaps.com to search for realty prices by zipcode and/or city. Also-if you don't see any data for your area you can email them your info and they will quickly post home data for your area and email you within a day or two. pretty convenient.


The answer is A. You mean to tell me you couldn't figure this out for yourself?\n\nHere's how it's done.\n\n1. The unit of measure is feet per hour (ft/h).\n\n2. There are 60 minutes in an hour.\n\n3. 30 minutes x 2 = 60 minutes, which is an hour, as mentioned in #2 above.\n\n4. Since you multiplied 30 minutes by 2, you should likewise multiply 1000 feet by 2. 1000 feet x 2 = 2000 feet. There's your answer. Got it?


is there any other sites out there that are kinda the same as www.myspace.com?

if your asking about sites the same as myspace.. \n\nwell, there is www.livejournal.com and www.xanga.com and yea.. lol.. many sites like that.. and on myspace, they have links to dating sites.. lol.


I would like to know for reasons of simple curiousity. If its so powerful that light can not even pass by its gravitation, there must be somewhere everything ends up. Even if all the matter it devoures ultimately becomes super dense matter, the light must emit like somewhat of a focused laser that could some way be detected. Maybe, all matter is vaporized by the condensed light beam. Anyways, just curious.

Like the posters above have said, the known laws of physics break down inside a black hole. Anything which passes inside the event horizon is no longer visible to anyone outside. What happens inside is just pure speculation, take your pick:\n\na. Matter, light and other trapped energy is compressed to incredible density\n\nb. Everything breaks down into its ultimately basic constituents (quarks, strings, whatever).\n\nc. Everything passes through a 'worm hole' to a 'white hole' somewhere else in the universe or in a different universe. A white hole (no one has ever observed one) is the opposite of a black hole, where everything is emitted out. It would appear like an incredible sourc of light.\n\nd. Black holes accumulate matter and energy, and ultimately the whole universe is concentrated into one single black hole. Suddenly "Let there be light", and it all explodes in another Big Bang to form a new universe. This is also called the theory of oscillating universes.


I've always been of the belief that certain parts of the bible were withheld from the public.  These decisions were made by medeival men in a different day and age.  I want to know what these banned books said and how they fit into the bible.

Today there's nothing strange about them: they are public, everybody can read them and judge for themselves. Even on the internet. Apocryphas, gnostic, pseudopigraphics, you name them. They were only interesting as long as they where "hidden" or "banned" by narrowminded christians during centuries. I read 'em, almost all, and there's absolutely nothing sensational about them. Most of them are as boring as the Bible itself.


Has anyone ever noticed any anomalies (spelling?) in math? Here's a riddle, you tell me. 3 guys go to a hotel and get a room together for $30, after they go to room, the clerk remembers that hotel has special going for $5 off on rooms. So he sends bus boy up to room with the $5. On the way to the room the bus boy takes out $2 since the 3 men didn't give him a tip and he reasons that they wouldn't be able to divide the $5 by three anyway, so...the three men got back $3 which means they only paid $9 apiece for the room. Ok here's the tricky part, the three men ended up paying $9 each, so that's 3 X $9 = $27 plus the two that the bus boy took = $29, now where did the other $1 go ? All of the money has been accounted for. Have fun with this !

i am in a relationship with this boy, but my friends don't really like him. they think he is ugly, but i don't. i want 2 be his gf, but i don't want 2 ruin the frendship with my friends.

You should listen to your friends. Usually they know best. But if they just think he's ugly that's not really a reason for them not to like him. You should talk to your friends and see if there's any other reason why they don't like him. All that really matters is what you think. But if your friends have a serious reason then you should consider talking to him. Your freinds need to like him and he needs to like your friends. Trust me!

On court TV, and in several movies I have seen, they refer to them as if they are seperate titles.  What seperates them if anything?

The two groups are actually called solicitors and barristers, and they are both lawyers. The distinction is erroding, because the differences between them have been removed. Originally, solicitors could only plead before the inferior courts (the courts of first impression), and the barristers could plead before any court in the country. Also, clients could not directly ask a barrister for assistance; a solicitor had to do it for them. Now solicitors can be allowed to plead before superior courts and clients can seek out barristers without a solicitor, but both of those things still happen rarely anyway.
