I have two numbers, for example 0.14 and 0.17. These two numbers represent an increase. I want to know what the percentage change is. The difference (0.03) is what percentage of 0.14?\nHow does one calculate this? Thanks.

percentage change is your difference over the original number multiplied by 100


Can you find the poem The bride groom by Alexander Pushkin or the biography of Alexander Pushkin.

I answered this elsewhere on Y!A - I'll copy and paste!\n\n\nThe Bridegroom\n\n\nFor three days Natasha\nThe merchant’s daughter,\nWas missing.  The third night,\nShe ran in, distraught.\nHer father and mother\nPlied her with questions.\nShe did not hear them,\nShe could hardly breathe.\n\nStricken with foreboding\nThey pleaded, got angry,\nBut still she was silent;\nAt last they gave up.\nNatasha’s cheeks regained\nTheir rosy colour,\nAnd cheerfully again\nShe sat with her sisters.\n\nOnce at the shingle-gate\nShe sat with her friends\n-And a swift troika\nFlashed by before them;\nA handsome young man\nStood driving the horses;\nSnow and mud went flying,\nSplashing the girls.\n\nHe gazed as he flew past,\nAnd Natasha gazed.\nHe flew on.  Natasha froze.\nHeadlong she ran home.\n‘It was he!  It was he!’\nShe cried.  ‘I know it!’\nI recognized him!  Papa,\nMama, save me from him!’\n\nFull of grief and fear,\nThey shake their heads, sighing.\nHer father says: ‘My child,\nTell me everything.\nIf someone has harmed you,\nTell us … even a hint.’\nShe weeps again and\nHer lips remain sealed.\n\nThe next morning, the old \nMatchmaking woman\nUnexpectedly calls and\nSings the girl’s praises;\nSays to the father; ‘You\nHave the goods and I\nA buyer for them:\nA handsome young man.\n\n‘He bows to no one,\nHe lives like a lord\nWith no debts nor worries;\nHe’s rich and he’s generous,\nSays he will give his bride,\nOn their wedding-day,\nA fox-fur coat, a pearl,\nGold rings, brocaded dresses.\n\n‘Yesterday, out driving,\nHe saw your Natasha;\nShall we shake hands\nAnd get her to church?’\nThe woman starts to eat\nA [pie, and talks in riddles,\nWhile the poor girl\nDoes not know where to look.\n\n‘Agreed,’ says her father;\n‘Go in happiness\nTo the altar, Natasha;\nIt’s dull for you here;\nA swallow should not spend\nAll its time singing,\nIt’s time for you to build\nA nest for your children.’\n\nNatasha leaned against \nThe wall and tried\nTo speak – but found herself\nSobbing; she was shuddering\nAnd laughing.  The matchmaker\nPoured out a cup of water,\nGave her some to drink,\nSplashed some in her face.\n\nHer parents are distressed.\nThen Natasha recovered,\nAnd calmly she said:\n‘Your will be done.  Call\nMy bridegroom to the feast,\nBake loaves for the whole world,\nBrew sweet mead and call\nThe law to the feast.’\n\n‘Of course, Natasha, angel!\nYou know we’d give our lives \nTo make you happy!’\nThey bake and they brew;\nThe worthy guests come,\nThe bride is led to the feasat,\nHer maids sing and weep;\nThen horses and a sledge\n\nWith the groom – and all sit.\nThe glasses ring and clatter,\nThe toasting-cup is passed\nFrom hand to hand in tumult,\nThe guests are drunk.\n\nBridegroom\n‘Friends, why is my fair bride\nSad, why is she not\nFeasting and serving?’\n\nThe bride answers the groom:\n‘I will tell you why\nAs best I can.  My soul\nKnows no rest, day and night\nI weep; an evil dream\nOppresses me.’  Her father\nSays: ‘My dear child, tell us\nWhat your dream is.’\n\n‘I dreamed,’ she says, ‘that I\nWent into a forest,\nIt was late and dark;\nThe moon was faintly\nShining behind a cloud;\nI strayed from the path;\nNothing stirred except\nThe tops of the pine-trees.\n\n‘And suddenly, as if\nI was awake, I saw\nA hut.  I approach the hut\nAnd knock at the door\n-Silence.  A prayer on my lips\nI open the door and enter.\nA candle burns.  All\nIs silver and gold.’\n\nBridegroom\n‘What is bad about that?\nIt promises wealth.’\n\nBride\n‘Wait, sir, I’ve not finished.\nSilently I gazed\nOn the silver and gold,\nThe cloths, the rugs, the silks\nFrom Novgorod, and I\nWas lost in wonder.\n\n‘Then I heard a shout\nAnd a clatter of hoofs …\nSomeone has driven up\nTo the porch.  Quickly\nI slammed the door and hid\nBehind the stove.  Now\nI hear many voices …\nTwelve young men come in,\n\n‘And with them is a girl,\nPure and beautiful.\nThey


They both go to the same church and different private schools. The guy has glasses and is over six foot tall. The guy is prominate and famous around his church. The girl is hot and athletic. The guy drives. The guy is highly respected at his school also and his a hard worker.The guy is very nice. PLEASE BE HONEST! Thank you.

If you're the "guy" then no, you sound completely full of yourself.


I am  far sightet, and the eye examiner told me this is the highst glasse prescription he can give, but I still can't see with them.  And I don't have money to pay for sergery.  I am disabled and 55 years old.

Something tells me you have something keeping you from seeing like you used to, like cataracts, in which case, medicare will pay for it, so either get on it, or wait until you can, they will pay for cataract surgery, which is NOT a laser surgery, I'm sorry to say.  If your doctor cannot fix your vision with glasses, there's somethine else going on.  Laser surgery (Lasik)is done for people who only have the glasses problem.\n\nHere's some basic info about eyes I think would do you some good...\n\nhttp://www.midwesteyecare.com/Section/index.php?SectionID=7


Apparently it's Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis. Looks like it's on lots of different CDs, I found loads, see here


are there any totally free programs out there to clean up my registry

I have been using Toniarts Easy clean for many years now and i really like it. It is currently free and comes with a whole host of other usefull utilities. as far as i know it also comes with NO BUNDLED SPYWARE , 2.8MB download\n\nhttp://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm\n\nIt doesn't fix broken registry entries however, it just gets rid of them, but i think that's what the other programs also do.


tell me the serial plz.or how to registr.\n\ngiving me weblinks wont do much good

the only way you can get a serial number for the software that you are using or ANY software as a matter of fact, is to go and BUY IT. not just ANY serial number will work. even if you DO find somebody that has it and they give you the serial number that they have, IT WON'T WORK. each disc has it's own serial number. and if the serial number does not match up with the one you are using, it will decline it. it's done that way to prevent things like this happening. b/c they would lose money that way if, everyone was able to do wat you are trying to do. \n\nso your best bet, is to save up, and buy it!

Next week is me and my girlfriend's one year anniversary, and I want to get her a CD. She loves music and I'm trying not to break the bank, so I figured a CD would be the best way to go. \n\nShe likes\nPoison\nDef Leppard\nTwisted Sister\nREO Speedwagon\nVan Halen\nMotley Crue\nThe Beatles\nQuiet Riot\nLed Zeppelin\nThe Rolling Stones\nFaster P.ussycat\nAC/DC\nJudas Priest\nPink Floyd\nJimi Hendrix\nJoan Jett\nLita Ford\nPat Benatar\nMetallica\nRatt\nBon Jovi\nQueen\nHawthorn Heights\nDio\nIron Maiden\nBlack Sabbath\nKiss\nBlack Label Society\nGwar\nDisturbed\nDrowning Pool\nJimmy Eats World\nBreaking Benjamin\nGreen Day\nThe Killers\nQueens of the Stone Age\nOzzy Osbourne\nDuran Duran\nThe Who\nMudvayne\nThey New Pornographers\nOctoberman\nLast Winter\nZZ Top\nLynyrd Skynyrd\nMarilyn Manson\nKorn

I know you don't want to break the bank, but one year anniversary???  It's gotta be a little more special than that!!  I'm sure she's expecting more.  It doesn't have to cost much to be special!  A love note would be awesome, tell her in it how much she means to you and recall some of the best times you've had this past year-talk about the year ahead and how you are so lucky to have her love, blah blah blah.  I married my high school sweetheart and I still have all of the love letters he wrote me!!  Get some special paper and a nice envelope, my hubby would do little doodles on the paper too, I thought that was really cute.  Think about it!!  Good luck!!

I lost 15 lbs. since high school and would really like to but some weight back on. I dont watch what I eat. I just eat when I am hungry, and still no gain. What should I do?

In internet where is the format for curriculum vitae

If you are using Micrsoft Word then yoiu can use the REsume wizard, that is correct.\n\nIf you are using Open Office 2 you will need to do the CV manually as it doesn't have a resume wizard yet. Alternativly you can try Sarmsoft Resume builder.\n\nhttp://www.sarmsoft.com/product/resumebuilder/\n\nThey have a free trial but i am not sure what the limitations are.\n\nAt resume wiki you can sign up and create a CV online.After that member of thier community look at your CV and tell you how to make it better.

Your toolbar most likely needs to be reconfigured.  To do this:\n\n1) Right click on the tool bar (in a new message) where the button used to be and select "Customize" from the pop up menu.\n\n2) Click on the "Toolbars" tab along the top of the "Customize" window that appears.\n\n3) Highlight the "Standard" in the list, and click the "Reset" button on the right side.  This will return the toolbar to the default settings.


Grab a calculator (you won't be able to do this one in your head)\nKey in the first 3 digits of your phone number (not the area code)\nMultiply by 80\nAdd 1\nMultiply 250\nAdd the last 4 digits of your phone number\nAdd the last 4 digits of yuor phone number again\nSubtract 250\nDivide the number by 2\n\nDo you recgonize the answer?

Me and my gf have been living together for a little while and it's more like being roommates. We don't even kiss anymore. I guss you could say that the spark isn't there amymore. But now I've met another girl that want's to date me and she seams really in to me. I think shes good looking and all but I don't know if I should end the relationship in in now to try to start a new one.

You are being unfair to your girl. Don't sell her short. You need to sit down and have a deep talk with her and tell you how you feel. Give her a chance to work it out before you do something bad. I know how it feels to be on the crappy end of a cheating relationship. Trust me, nothing good can come out of it. The girl you are cheating with knows that you don't value a relationship. It couldn't work anyways. It justy makes her feels special that you are considering her even though you are already involved. It won't last, trust me. Go with what you know.


I want to build a silent PC, I've already chosen the VIA EPIA 5000 M/B & fanless CPU. With a typical HDD and two USB devices (keyboard and mouse) it should consume between 26 and 31 Watts on different programs. \n\nIs it OK if I buy a 120W power supply, and turn the fan off (Disconnect the supply wire)? With the previous consumption figures, it's going to work on 25% load.

NO, But there ARE fanless power supplies that have special heatsinks in them.\n\nhttp://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/other_misc/Tt_Fanless_PSU/index.html\n\nhttp://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/cases/Antec_Phantom_350_1.html\n\nHaving a silent machine doesn't mean you need to have a useless CPU that could hardly run WinXP. You could get one of the above PSUs with any modern processor with a water cooled system. Besides, opening a power supply case is dangerous. The capacitors inside have enough power to kill you even if it has been unplugged for a while.

I want a simple but complete resume that will stand out with any future positions of which I may apply.

If you have MS Office, then in Word, you can go to File, New and choose to make a document from and existing one.  They give you templates for resumes.


Even in the beginning of our relationship me and my boyfriend were never REALLY close. He never does the things a boyfriend should do i mean seriously he never calls me, and he forgets everything i tell him and when I mention it a week later he says, "what are you talking about?" and i am like "oh my god never mind" cause i listen to everything he says but he cant open his ears to listen to me? I told him i had something really important going on this weekend and he said he would probibaly be there. and i told him to call my cell to tell me if he could come or not and he didnt show up or even bother to call and tell me! I am getting fed up with his crap. i wanna break up with him, i really do, but there is still something holding me back. I dont know what it is, i dont think its love, cause it sure as hell doesnt feel like it. and dont ask "r u sleeping together" cause i am a young teen right now and the answer will surely be no.

It seems like something is bugging him. Whether it be someone else (hopefully not), or he's just not interested anymore, make sure you find out the truth. It somewhat seems like you're not interested either. Talk to him and his friends. Maybe it's just not going to work out. But good luck with whatever happens!


the kind of guy that catches my eye is tall with broad shoulders. maybe dressed in a nice suit or only in a pair of jeans. dark hair and light eyes. a killer smile will definitely get me going.

One with eyes to die for. mostly dark headed, blonde guys are hot as well. Has to be taller than me, and have solid legs. I think alittle bow legged inguys are hot. Good Strong hands, I LOVE. And a sexy smile. :-)


with MEDDLESOME I mean that persons, families a n d especially nations , Governments should be only take care of\nthemselves resp. their own nations and not meddle with\nother persons, other families and other nations matters.

Yes I think that is a very good idea, and yet we do have something called "THE GOLDEN RULE", that is uniformly a part of every religion of the world.\nJust a reminder of the definition: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". (exception) Buddhism: "Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you".\nYet, your point is well taken, that it is beyond the moral capacity of most individuals and governments to NOT follow "The Golden Rule" or be Meddlesome.\nQuite frankly, I'm tired of it just as I suspect you are!


I want to either sleep, stuff myself with cookies, drink a cup of Starbucks, or watch a movie. But none of these options are available right now.

I had bought this one time for something, but now I can't remember which of my many ailments I was taking it for!

Culinary Uses :-\n\nThe major use of fenugreek is in curry powders, figuring in many mixtures, especially vindaloo and the hot curries of Sri Lanka. It is an ingredient of Panch phoron, the Indian five-spice mixture. In home-made powders, the amount used can be controlled, but in cheap bought powders it often overpowers. When fish is curried, particularly strong-tasting fish such as tuna and mackerel, fenugreek is frequently included in the spice mixture. Many chutneys and pickles incorporate it and it gives a tangy aroma to vegetables. The leaves, both fresh and dried, are used in meat curries, dhal and vegetable dishes and chutneys. The seeds are an ingredient of the Middle Eastern confection halva. Flour mixed with ground fenugreek makes a spicy bread. In India the roasted ground seeds are infused for a coffee substitute or adulterant. A tea can be made by infusing teaspoon of seed with two cups of water for five minutes.\n\nAttributed Medicinal Properties:-\n\nFenugreek is a digestive aid. As an emollient it is used in poultices for boils, cysts and other complaints. Reducing the sugar level of the blood, it is used in diabetes in conjunction with insulin. It also lowers blood pressure. Fenugreek relieves congestion, reduces inflammation and fights infection. Fenugreek contains natural expectorant properties ideal for treating sinus and lung congestion, and loosens & removes excess mucus and phlegm. Fenugreek is also an excellent source of selenium, an anti-radiant which helps the body utilize oxygen. Fenugreek is a natural source of iron, silicon, sodium and thiamine. Fenugreek contains mucilagins which are known for soothing and relaxing inflamed tissues. Fenugreek stimulates the production of mucosal fluids helping remove allergens and toxins from the respiratory tract. Acting as an expectorant, Fenugreek alleviates coughing, stimulates perspiration to reduce fevers, and is beneficial for treating allergies, bronchitis and congestion. In the East, beverages are made from the seed to ease stomach trouble. The chemical make-up is curiously similar to cod liver oil, for which a decoction of the seed is sometimes used as a substitute. Many other properties are ascribed to it in India and the East and not surprisingly include aphrodisiac.

Hi all I have a management theory question: Discuss the functions of participation in an organization, by referring to theories of motivation and leadership.

open the link below...u could find some stuff \n\nhttp://www-rcf.usc.edu/~usclrev/pdf/072603.pdf\n\nEmployee Development: Motivate Employee Participation :\n\nWhen companies think of employee development, they often search for training programs, educational seminars, coaching or the latest book that might offer ideas on what employees can do to sharpen skills or strengthen expertise. However, none of these programs will be effective if the organization lacks one critical success factor: individual motivation. An individual has to want to develop himself before any employee training and development program can be successful. \n\nSome say they’re "too busy." Some say they’re "already developed." Some blame the boss. Some like burying their heads in the sand, afraid of what they might learn about themselves. \n\nWhat can you do to help your employees achieve best performance? \n\nHere are some tips to help motivate the seemingly unmotivated and increase your organization’s overall performance. \n\n1. Target the highly motivated and strong performers. \n\nAll organizations have individuals who are highly motivated. They stand out more easily. They typically like challenges and welcome growth opportunities for themselves. Engage them in activities to help them get even better. The improved performance of the highly motivated will help raise the bar for your entire organization. Those who are less motivated will have to step up the pace. \n\n2. Focus on the future. \n\nRather than concentrate on performance areas that aren’t working for an individual, talk about possibilities for the future. It’s easier to become energized about new possibilities than dwelling on weaknesses. Determine the positive outcome that will occur if a change/improvement is made. For example, you might say, "We can reach more buyers if you can speak more frequently to groups. What can you do to hone your presentation skills to help secure more business?" Help employees keep their eye on the goal, not their ego. \n\n3. Open dialogue about desire. \n\nDiscussions about development should be positive and ongoing -- not limited to annual performance reviews. Let the individual lead. Rather than saying, "Here are areas you need to develop," ask "What would help you build on your strengths or increase your effectiveness?" When a particular approach has been identified, ask for commitment to follow-through. Create a culture where ongoing development is expected, encouraged and rewarded at all levels. \n\n4. Start at the top. \n\nExecutives should model the commitment to growth and development that they want to see throughout the organization. After all, many problems disguised as employee development issues actually reflect leadership deficiencies of the firm or organization. \n\nConsider using assessments of some kind to help employees gain a more objective perspective about them. Assessments can be helpful or destructive depending on how they are used. \n\nIn the end, it’s all about achieving what both the employees and what the organization wants. Be clear about what’s most important to both. \n\nAn employee development and training program is not something to be checked off on a checklist. The strongest organizations make employee development an integral part of their culture and strategies for success. They constantly seek new and innovate ways to engage their people in development opportunities to achieve best results.\n\n\nLeading\n\nAn organization has the greatest chance of being successful when all of the employees work toward achieving its goals. Since leadership involves the exercise of influence by one person over others, the quality of leadership exhibited by supervisors is a critical determinant of organizational success. Thus, supervisors study leadership in order to influence the actions of employees toward the achievement of the goals of the organization.\n\nSupervisors can learn about


i am going to Florida soon and i want to loose a little for a new bathing suite. i am planing on doing the regular thing, exercise more and eat healthy foods. but i don't know much about it, like is it better to eat more meat or vegetables or what?

You should eat a good balance of protein (meats) and vegetables. Daily Vitamins...Lots of Water, regular exercise and you should be good.


It depends on them and may get arrested too...


... or do they expect to continue into Season 7? I sure hope it continues - just can't get enough of that show - hate to have to go back to endless reruns.

David Chase, creator of the Sopranos won't be pinned down on whether season six will be the last for "The Sopranos." Although it's widely assumed that's the case -- and Chase at one point Tuesday said "No. No more," -- he won't close the door for sure yet.\n\n"I really enjoy it, so why leave something like that?" he says. "It's just a question of whether the story works out creatively in six seasons, which I think it will. Then we probably shouldn't do a seventh."\n\nPressed on the issue, though, he admits that "It is possible."


Tahpanhes in the bible.  who went there?

I found the following information on an encyclopedia website at:\n\nhttp://www.studylight.org/enc/isb/view.cgi?number=T8580\n\nTAHPANHES - \nta'-pan-hez, ta-pan'-hez (usually in the Old Testament tachpanchec; Septuagint Taphnas; Coptic, Taphnes): \n\nThe various spellings of the Hebrew text are fairly well indicated in the King James Version by Tahapanes (Jeremiah 2:16); Tahpanhes (Jeremiah 43:7-9; 44:1; 46:14); Tehaphnehes (Ezekiel 30:18), while an Egyptian queen (XXIst Dynasty) is named Tahpenes (1 Kings 11:19,20). Tahpanhes was a city on the eastern frontier of Lower Egypt, represented today by Tell Defenneh, a desert mound lying some 20 miles Southwest from Pelusium (Biblical "Sin") and a little North of the modern Al-Kantarah ("the bridge"), marking the old caravan route from Egypt to Palestine, Mesopotamia and Assyria. Its Egyptian name is unknown, but it was called Daphnai, by the Greeks, and by the modern Arabs Def'neh. The site is now desolate, but it was a fertile district when watered by the Pelusiac branch of the Nile (compare Isaiah 19:6,7). Tahpanhes was so powerful that Jeremiah can say that it, with Memphis, has "broken the crown" of Israel's head (2:16), and Ezekiel can speak of its "daughters" (colonies or suburban towns), and names it with Heliopolis and Bubastis when the "yokes Septuagint "sceptres") of Egypt" shall be broken by Yahweh (30:18). In a later passage Jeremiah describes the flight of the Jews from their ruined capital to Tahpanhes after the death of Gedaliah (43:1-7) and prophesies that Nebuchadnezzar shall invade Egypt and punish it, establishing his throne upon the brick pavement (the King James Version "kiln") which is at the entry of Pharaoh's royal palace at Tahpanhes (Jeremiah 43:8-11). He calls Tahpanhes as a witness to the desolation of the cities of Judah (Jeremiah 44:1), but prophesies an equal destruction of Tahpanhes and other Egyptian cities (probably occupied by fugitive Jews) when Nebuchadnezzar shall smite them (Jeremiah 46:14). \n\nThis invasion of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar was for a long time strenuously denied (e.g. as late as 1889 by Kuenen, Historisch-critisch Onderzoek, 265-318); but since the discovery and publication (1878) of fragments of Nebuchadnezzar's annals in which he affirms his invasion of Egypt in his 37th year (568-567 BC), most scholars have agreed that the predictions of Jeremiah (43:9-13; 44:30) uttered shortly after 586 BC and of Ezekiel (29:19) uttered in 570 BC were fulfilled, "at least in their general sense" (Driver, Authority and Archaeology, 116). Three cuneiform inscriptions of Nebuchadnezzar were found by Arabs probably on or near this site. The excavation of Tahpanhes in 1886 by W. M. Flinders Petrie made it "highly probable that the large oblong platform of brickwork close to the palace fort built at this spot by Psammetichus I, circa 664 BC, and now called Kasr Bint el-Yehudi, `the castle of the Jew's daughter,' is identical with the quadrangle `which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes' in which Jeremiah was commanded to bury the stones as a token that Nebuchadnezzar would spread his pavilion over them when he led his army into Egypt" (ibid., 117). Josephus explicitly mentions that Nebuchadnezzar, when he captured Tahpanhes, carried off a Jewish contingent from that city (Ant., IX, vii). Dr. Petrie found that while a small fort had existed here since the Rameside era (compare Herodotus ii.17), yet the town was practically founded by Psammetichus I, continued prosperous for a century or more, but dwindled to a small village in Ptolemaic times. Many sealings of wine jars stamped with the cartouches of Psammetichus I and Amosis were found in situ. Tahpanhes being the nearest Egyptian town to Palestine, Jeremiah and the other Jewish refugees would naturally flee there (43:7). It is not at all unlikely that Nebuc


I got really close to a guy and we quickly became good mates. However, now that I helped him put his life on track and sorted out his problems, he doens't seem to have the time to even chat anymore and I hate it. He just takes it for granted that I'm gonna be here waiting whenever he has a problem but he doesn't have to make an effort. I don't wanna lose him, but has anyone got tips on how I can approach him with my feelings without totally scaring him away?

Guess what L****e, I've noticed that too. * really 'dumps' himself on you whenever he feels he needs help. No offence, but I really dont like him as a person anymore. I did like him in the pre-M****e days, but now... YUCK. Plus, hes an EMO which is really starting to bug me. And his hair!! HELLOOO you are plantinum blonde!! Never gonna get it to go black!! Don't worry though, because  when he remembers that you where there when he was dumped the first time, he'll come crawling back. Either that, or I'll make him remember i.e. hurting him. xx


i have been saving up for a while( i'm not oldenough to get a job and i have to do chores 4 my extra spending money)and i finally have 200! should i keep saving?? i really need some summer clothes!

You could get a lot for your money at places like Marshalls, Ross, TJ Max, I don't know if your state has NOrdstrom's but their outlet store always has top designer stuff for way cheap. Try the outlet mall for brands like American Eagle, Gap, etc. I wish I had an extra 200 for clothes!!


No. Because then there would be sects within that religion. One group wouldn't like how another worships...then one group will think another isn't devout enough. Then, bammo! War. Again. Still. sigh.\nReligion only leads to war because of human beings.\nPeople are the root of war. Not any one religion.


Yes, but because they only interact only by weak interaction with other objects you need laaaaaaaarge detectors, simply because the chances that a neutrino simply goes through your detector whitout causing any effect is so high. Most of them even go through the whole earth whithout having any interaction. From wikipedia: "For typical neutrinos produced in the sun (with energies of a few MeV), it would take approximately one light year (~10^16m) of lead to block half of them."\n\nThat's why these detector experiments (Super-Kamiokande in Japan for example consists of 50,000 tons of pure water surrounded by about 11,200 photomultiplier tubes.) have to be so large.


What happened in 1961 that will not happen again for over 4000 years?


I wanna be really good on my tennis team, so can anyone reccomend me any excercises/stretches/ work outs that can get me real ready for the tennis season: i have availible a pool, a tennis court, and some weights btw

There is a great program on the usta website that is aimed at juniors. If you go to usta.com and click juniors and high performance it is right there. I do some of the exercises on that along with playing tennis at least 5-6 times a week and running and biking as well to build my endurance. Good luck and have fun.


I've used a blue ice pack, a bag of frozen peas, and a bag of ice cubes in the past. They all seem to get pretty warm/melted by the end of the recommended 20 minutes of icing.

usually a bag of ice cubes should work and should not turn warm, though it may turn somewhat watery. but when that happens, just switch to another bag. That's what i do all the time and obviously don't do it a place where it can get hot. haha


I have seen many great ones on livejournal and xanga.com.  You might try those.   There are so many on the web.   Maybe try googling it and just going through and viewing others blogs till you see something that temps you.


if j_neutron07 wants to add ur friends list do not except its a horrible virus which within few sec blows off ur hard disk & ur p.c. too so be awre of it & forward to all ur friends.

Ok, guys, I just received the same notice from someone on my buddy list.  Since I don't just blindly accept it when someone tells me about a virus or any such stuff (Have been burned by believing that before!!!) I decided to do some checking on the net.  On the trendmicro website I found some information stating that the j_neutron07 "virus" is just a hoax.  Nothing on snopes.com just yet either way. As always, the choose is yours as to whether you want to believe or not, just be informed before you decide!!!


The walls of the room are extremely high and ball secure. It is a very large room of dimensions L25m x W12m. Each ball has a diameter of 40mm.

Don't you just hate it when your walls aren't ball-secure?\n\n40mm eh -\nso that's 12000/40 = 300 balls width\nand 25000/40 = 625 balls length\n300*625 = 187500 balls would form a layer 1 ball thick\n\nand 14000000/187500 = 74.6667 layers of balls\n\nSo they'd stretch up to 75*40mm = 30m high in places. BUT that's not allowing for the fact that they're balls and would hence tessellate with one another, so it wouldn't probably be quite as much as that.\n\nEDIT: ag_iitkgp, you've got a decimal place wrong. It's 75 not 7.5 layers.


My neighbors smoke right outside my window.\n\nIt comes into my apartment through the a/c units. It's not practical to remove them. I'm a former smoker so cigarette smoke makes me jones and honestly smells bad, to me.\n\nI should be able to NOT SMOKE first or second-hand in my own home, right?

First ask them to smoke somewhere else.  And then if your state has a smoking ban of some type you can take legal action.  But I don't think a restraining order is what you are looking for.  They are actually called Personal Protection Orders and they are for when someone is threatening physical harm to you.  They will probably just laugh if you try and get one because someone is smoking near your window.\n\nIs this a house or an apartment?


I installed Nero 6 on my computer ( OS Windows 98) with a Samsung CD writer. when i tried to burn CD-R i got a message that only CD-RW is supported. How is that possible? what do i do?

...Sounds more like a problem with your Samsung CD writer.  Better check the manual/make use of the warranty.

What do u like on a girl?What do u expect?

Attractive personality, have good manners, beautiful (I'm not looking for a supermodel, just beautiful enough).


How do i really know if i'm in love or just want the guy for money or whatever he's giving

it is very simple to know when u r in a true love , u miss him when he is not around , u always listen to him talking when he is around, always looking into his eyes and feel impressed by the way he talked when u r together. u pick up the phone to call him whenever u need someone to talk to or to solve a problem for u. some times u call to just hear his voice and feel ur heart beating fast when u r together and feel realy sad when he mention other girls when he is with u........ this all represents true love in my opinion


I doubt there are any jim_darwin worshippers I offer no salvation merely intellectual entertainment but there certainly are Jesus worshippers and he was man. You may say no he was God then you'd be worshipping God right?

They would have to be consistently better then my earthly friends. And have some aspect that proved they were more evolved/powerful than us. Dashing babies on the rocks don't cut it for me. Nor sending everyone out to slit throats.


a few months ago i had a huge falling out with a mate and we now don't speak anymore... we've been mates for 14 years, and all of a sudden there was a misunderstanding with some of our friends, and he just cut all ties with me.... i haven't contacted him, nor has he contacted me, and i have been dreaming about him almost every nite since... i saw him at our local club on saturday nite, and he was staring at me the whole nite, with out over exagerating... every time i looked at him he was staring at me... do you think he still cares about me? i have no idea anymore, coz he seems like such a different person?

I think he totally likes you. why would he be starring at you.  You guys should talk about it he probably thinks you have changed too and does not know how to interact.


personally i've never liked firefox it appears too have way to many glitches in it, try uninstalling it and installing something else IE or Netscape Navigator are both good in my opinoin


i am an engineering graduate.i want to do my masters.so which feild will be a better one to earn good salary.

Get your PE.  And an MS is better if you want to be an engineer.  Get an MBA if you prefer the business side of it.


Do you throw things around, break glass, and generally go ape-sh*t like I do?  Do you put holes in the wall?  Is it ok to have a mental meltdown once a month, just as long as I don't do it around anybody else?

I have a different emotion the night before my period. One night i cried all night because my dad didn't tell my mum she looked nice before they went out and another i completely lost it because my sister used my new unused toothbrush. Have your monthly meltdown. If it's infront of family who cares. I just steer clear of friends and boys, may freak them out.


I have a friend and she has the lowest confidence i ever seen and she so cool and shit i jus need help to help her and get her right

try telling her how great she is all the time and compliment her on all the things she does whether their not so right and by telling her that can't never got anyone anywhere, if you did not try in life you would not be where you are today. Tell her who cares what other people think as long as she is happy. I think her problem is not confidence I think it is lack of being appreciated for what she does and who she is and if she feels appreciated all the time then her confidence will go up also. How did she get as far in life as she has now with no confidence, hmmm think about that one!!!


The ACLU of Ohio won a Ten Commandments Case in June 2002.\nFederal Decision Orders Tablets Removed from Adams County High Schools on June 14, 2002.  I am trying to verify that the ACLU then went back to federal court and sued the school board for costs.  I need documentation.

Yes, the ACLU did sue the board for court costs, because after the case was decided in 2002, the board refused to obey the order and the ACLU had to take them to court again, all the way to the Supreme Court to finally get them to remove the display.


The time period between two stops is not fixed, it varies.

Are you on cable? I had the same trouble and finally found out I had to register the router with my cable company.


my girl wants me not to wear condem and forcing me to do anal sex.. she feels better specially during her period,\nis there nay harm in that,\nand wd it make her pregnent if we continue it in her normal days also? please guide me!!!

Of course there is a chance of pregnancy.  Sperm can travel down into the vagina.  Remember, it is liquid.  Don't think because you have anal sex she can't get pregnant.  When you pull out, there is always sperm left on you and it only takes one little drop to fall in the wrong place.  FYI. Anal sex is very dangerous.  there is fine tissue in the rectum that can get torn, infected etc.  It can be worse than preganancy.  Wear a condom and have sex the normal way


SHE IS FUN OUTGONG GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR  SHE SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE THE ONE TO APPROCH THE GUY AND WISHES SOMEONE WOULD JUST ASK HER FOR A DATE SHE CANT SEEM TO KEEP A RELATIONSHIP GOING FOR VERY LONG BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO WANT HER TO TAKE CARE OF THEM INSTEAD OF THEM BEING A RESPONSIBLE PERSON WHICH SHE WANTS SHE HAS BEEN WITH MANY PARTNERS AND SEEMS EVEN THE RESPONSIBLE ONES FLAKE OUT TOO.

I am sorry. I am a man that cares for women. I would never want  a woman to care for me. I would take care of her. She would be my companion, my love to cherish and admire, not a servant nor a  slave. A woman is to be admired and adored, to be respected and to be supportive with.\n  It is an level position, man and woman at the same  level.


I prefer to be spontaneous.  I believe it's more exciting and adventurous!

i like spontaneity in a guy i think it's really cute, but i also like when a guy takes the effort to plan a romantic date everyonce in a while...\n\nin my opinion I WOULD CHOOSE A SPONTANEOUS GUY OVER ANYTHING because, that would make me want to be around him more, it would keep me guessing, and it keeps things interesting over time\n\nthe dinner and a movie thing can tend to get old


I need to know which high school he graduated from? which college he went to? what was he majoring in? how was he at school? etc. \n\nNeed to know by Wednesday!

He graduated from Western High in Anaheim, CA. He Attended Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. He dropped out in 1996 after his sophomore year due to NCAA conflicts (Having dinner with Jack Nicklaus as I recall). He had yet to declare a major, but by all accounts he was a good student.


There is a point when the solution is saturated - any more sugar and it will just collect on the bottom of the beaker.\n\nHeres one definition of saturation: "In physical chemistry, saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance. This point, the saturation point, depends on the temperature of the liquid as well as the chemical nature of the substances involved. At this point the solvent will not uptake any more of the solute instead it will fall to the bottom as precipitate. This can be used in the process of recrystallisation to purify a chemical: it is dissolved to the point of saturation in hot solvent, then as the solvent cools and the solubility decreases, excess solute precipitates. Impurities, being present in much lower concentration, do not saturate the solvent and so remain dissolved in the liquid. If a change in conditions (e.g. cooling) mean that the concentration is actually higher than the saturation point, the solution has become supersaturated."\n\nTo keep it simple, if you physically had the beaker in front of you, you can tell if the solution is saturated if after you mix it and theres still some sugar on the bottom.


It is only a small cavity that does not cause me any pain. I would really like to know what i can do, if anything to remove it on my own or treat it.

The only way to actually remove it is to pull the tooth, even a dentist doesn't remove the cavity.  A cavity is a hole in your tooth made by acid secreted by bacteria.  A dentist just fills the hole with metal or another compound.  So, no I don't think you can remove it.


a collage here is a craft piece of work & i wanna know exactly how to do on War & Peace

How about doing a collage shaped as a Yin-Yang symbol?\n\nMake Yin the peace section and Yang the war. You'll get across the symbolisim of the opposites. \nTry to find pictures that not only show guns and tanks for the war section, but also the product of war, the destruction of houses, mutilated people, etc.


I have an uncle who is taking over my grandmother and grandfathers business.  They have two other children, one being my mother and the other, another uncle.  My Grandfather passed away and left the will with my grandma. with my grandma. In his will he left everything to her and his three children. When he died, My grandma and my uncle phil got together and verbally said "Your grandpa told us that he wanted everything to go just to uncle phil." Well, with out the power of attorney and without the Will in my hand what can I do.

Get a lawyer, if they is no will, you can protest it in court, and a judge will usually give all to the spouse or divide equally between all.  Usually once someone contest legally, and request the will, it will be provided.  Most wills are done by lawyers, who retain a copy of it, just for this purpose.  Sometimes they are even entered as a matter of public record at the court house.  If you know grandpa's normal lawyer, you could ask him.  Just be prepared, this will end up a big old stink, but alas, dead's in the family usually are.

If you carefully see any watch or clock advertisement, the time shown is always 10.10, irrespective of the company, or country of manufacture. Why is it so?

it's a marketing theme!! ther are two ideas behind it\n\n1. it shows the symbol "RIGHT" (i.e. right time)\n2. it shows happiness (i.e. happy hours)


our timecard stamps in regular time (60's not 100's) and I must make sure that I am figuring the hours correctly????  I am taking each clock in and clok out period, subtracting them, taking the decimal amt. and multiplying it by .60, figuring each section like that, then adding them up to get the hours and minutes.  \nIs there an easier way????  or am i doing it all wrong????   Please help!!!!

Ask your employer.  \n\nSome companies pay their employees based on each 1/10 of the hour (or each 6 minute interval) they work.  So if you punch in at 8:57am, or 8:59am, you are still only paid as if you punched in at 9:00am.  If you punch in at 9:01am, you would be marked as 1/10th of an hour late even though you punched in only one minute late, and you would be paid the same as if you punched in at 9:06am.\n\nI worked at a company that automatically took out a 30 minute lunch break after 6 hours whether the employee punched out of not.  The result was if I worked between 6 hours and 6.5 hours, I only got paid for 6 (whether I took a lunch or not).  If I worked 7 hours straight without a lunch break, I only got paid for 6.5.


I am so concerned about the incompetenet leader's of these UNITED STATES that I sometimes have trouble going to sleep.

Start with Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution:\n"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."\n\nIf Congress feels the need under that Section, the the House first brings the charges.  There are various things like an independent counsel and so forth.  The general gist is that they eventually vote.  If there's a majority for, then the impeachment happens.  This is what happened with Clinton.  He got impeached, but that isn't enough.  It's similar to a grand jury deciding if there is enough evidence.\n\nIf there is, the case moves to the Senate.  There, it's like a typical trial with witnesses, cross examinations, etc.  If the Senate has a 2/3rd vote for, then it's a conviction and the person is removed from office.

Cinderella is one of the most loved fairy tale characters of all times and somebody has once commented that she lived in France during the 14th Century.

I heard that the story was from east of France, possibly even as far as Russia. It's a very old story. I'm sure that it had some basis in truth.


I need to raise a certain amount of money to participate in a ccharity marathon.  I have never done this before.

Ask at school, work, or church. You may wish to type up a form letter, make copies, write in individuals' names, sign them, and mail them out.\n\nYou can also sometimes get businesses to sponsor you. They can use it as a tax write off. Write up a nice letter and bring it with you to the store. Ask to speak with the manager. Explain what you are doing and ask if they would be willing to sponsor you.\n\nDon't forget to write thank you notes!


I do play comp in Australia, what pennant are you in and h ow does it work where you are. We play sets of 8's, with singles, 3 doubles and then mixed doubles. Is it the same and how does your grading work?

I play competition tennis in New York, USA. We play a team format in which we have 6 singles players who each play best of 3 sets (each set to 6, win by 2, ad scoring), and we also have three doubles teams (same as singles). After these matches finish, we usually continue by mixing up players and playing some Canadian doubles as well as other exhibition style matches.

Thomas Edison State offers a degree program, but has requirements for testing.

i wanted to know how many people on this site are aware with suffisem.how its started? and wanted to know about its beauty.also if anybody can add its contribution to socity.

an umbrella term for the ascetic and mystical movements within Islam. While Sufism is said to have incorporated elements of Christian monasticism, gnosticism, and Indian mysticism, its origins are traced to forms of devotion and groups of penitents (zuhhad) in the formative period of Islam. The early pious figures, later appropriated by Sufism, include Ali, Hasan al-Basri (d. 801), and Rabia al-Adawiyya, a woman from Basra (Iraq) who rejected worship motivated by the desire for heavenly reward or the fear of punishment and insisted on the love of God as the sole valid form of adoration. The word Sufi first appears in the 8th cent., probably in connection with the coarse wool that many ascetics wore.\n\nTwo central Sufi concepts are tawakkul, the total reliance on God, and dhikr, the perpetual remembrance of God. Al-Muhasibi (d. 857) and his disciple Junayd (d. 910) are representative early figures. The introduction of gnostic elements (marifa) into Sufism is often attributed to Dhu-n-Nun al-Misri (d. 859). Sufism nonetheless faced growing opposition from orthodox clerics. The scholastic and ecstatic paths further diverged with the concept of fana, the dissolution into the divine, advocated by al-Bistami (d. 874), and used by Hallaj in the declaration of his unity with God, which eventually led to his execution in 922. Islamic orthodoxy and Sufism were not irreconcilable, as attested by the attempt by al-Ghazali (d. 1111) to infuse conformist Muslim religious life with mysticism.\n\nThe evolution of Sufism in the post-Ghazali period was influenced by Ibn al-Arabi and Ibn al-Farid. Their theoretical contributions led to the development within Sufism of a complex system of initiation and progression toward the Divine and set the stage for the emergence of organized Sufi orders. This phase of literary Sufism was also characterized by the prominence of Persian works, notably those of Shihab ad-Din Suhrawardi (d. 1191), Farid ad-Din Attar, and Jalal ad-Din Rumi, and the subsequent development of Persian, Turkish, and Urdu mystic poetry. Important Sufi figures elsewhere in the Islamic world include Muin ad-Din Chishti in India and Baha ad-Din Naqshband (d. 1390) in central Asia.\n\nSufi orders, which assimilated aspects of native religious traditions more readily than more dogmatic versions of Islam, played a major role in the expansion of Islam into sub-Saharan Africa and central, S, and SE Asia. The oldest extant order with attested historicity is probably the Qadiriyya, founded by Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (d. 1166) in Baghdad. Other important orders include the Ahmadiyya (notably in Egypt), Naqshbandiyya (Central Asia), Nimatullahiyya (Iran), Rifaiyya (Egypt, SW Asia), Shadhiliyya (N Africa, Arabia), Suhrawardiyya and Chishtiyya (S and central Asia), and Tijaniyya (N and W Africa).\n\nThe work of Idries Shah has been instrumental in introducing Sufism to the West; see his The Sufis (1964) and The Way of the Sufi (1968). Although Sufism has made significant contributions to the spread of Islam and the development of various aspects of Islamic civilization (e.g., literature and calligraphy), many conservative Muslims disagree with many popular Sufi practices, particularly saint worship, the visiting of tombs, and the incorporation of non-Islamic customs. Consequently, in recent centuries Sufism has been a target for Islamic reformist and modernist movements.


Seriously, what is wrong with you people? Leave them alone...you don't need Allen Iverson's email or Dwyane Wade's address...contact them the regular way through their fan clubs, and the only address you need to know is the location of the arenas they play in...

I keep watching these shows, and they disgust me so much. I would like to do something similar in my own area, but would this be legal? How would I go about contacting my local law enforcement agency to set this up?

You should definitely contact law enforcement authorities.  What agency conducts these stings probably varies from state to state.  It's usually done by county or state agencies in NJ.  I had thought about something similar for a college project but decided not to do it.  One problem you will certainly encounter is related to your method.  If you pose as a child, you may end up in a bind if you are monitored by law enforcement while online.  That's one reason why you should contact someone before attempting this.  Good luck.


I cannot get a full erection anymore.....and my girlfriend is very upset.....what do I do?

Dear ljmuller,\nYou've certainly brought your medical concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis.\nMost recognized doctors in the field of medicine would employ a holistic approach to your ailment. ljmuller, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.\nNow ljmuller, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.\nAfter loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.\nljmuller, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.\nThank you, ljmuller. Have a great day!\n-Kobb


I really need to know this and if anyone has been prescribed with cocaine from their GP, then let me know the reason, thnx!

Cocaine (KOE-kane) is a local anesthetic. It is applied to certain areas of the body (for example, the nose, mouth, or throat) to cause loss of feeling. This allows some kinds of examinations or surgery to be done without causing pain.\n\na doctor will not prescribe cocaine>


Ok, I am 14, and for the past year, I have been sort of thinking guys are hot and such. Before, I wouldn't say I have been gay, even though there may have been times when I looked at a guy.. Not porn, just like at the pool or something.\n\nAm I just going through a phase? I know lots of guys, if not most do, but do they last over a year? Plase help me out. I want to be straight!\n\nI do like girls, but not sexually.. Not all the time at least. I am going to try to start asking girls out though so I can maybe like girls. I always tell myself when I think about guys.. "They don't think other guys are hot. They have girlfriends" and that sometimes helps.

Since I left a pretty detailed answer for your previous question, I'll keep this brief.  How do you know that "they don't think other guys are hot?"  Maybe some of them do.\n\nI would check out the answers left for your previous question.  There's a lot of good information.  I tried asking guys out for around 10 years, but eventually realized it didn't make me any more atrracted to guys.  It just made both me and them unhappy.  Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean the same thing will happen to you, but it is a possiblity.\n\nWhatever you decide to do, I wish you well.


When I am using Word, I press Shift + F7 and my thesaurus no longer pops up. It used to, I used it all the time, and now it won't appear anyplace. I checked Word Help but there was nothing about this. I have not changed any settings but sometimes my 3 year old hits the keyboard when I am not looking; don't know if that is related or not. Anyone know how I can get it back? I have Windows XP. Thanks!

Can you still access it through Tools/Language/Thesaurus ?\nIf you can, the keyboard shortcut may be changed...\n\nIf not, you probably need to re-install


i no wen men tke too mch care f their physical appearance and try bein all lovie-dovie or caring n delicate in their behaviour ,they r termed as metrosexual..bt wat is d exct synonym or hw wud u define it as??plss tell if think ur an expert on dis ans ..

lol metrosexual usually refers to guys who care alot obout their looks, might be alittle girly but they are not gay, that means they don't fall in love with guys.\n\nsome women would find metrosexual guys attractive because those guys are usually dress clean and nice.\n\ncheck out southpark's metrosexual eps. it's funny and it inform you what's metrosexual


After the initial (blue screen, DOS) setup, the computer restarted, but didn't continue the installation. Instead, it read the CD again, asked me to format the harddrive, and ran the initial setup again... can anyone help please. I've tried two different XP CDs, two hard drives, formated HD. \nSOrry I asked this question last night but I hoped there's a more specific answer because I am bat at computers.

u have changed the boot priority to cd so tht the system always boots frm cd. once it has completed the "copying files" process and restarts, goto bios and change the boot disk proirity to hard disk. this will probably solve ur probm.


im fun loving funny and easy going i go whit the flow my friends say that whit this attitude i wont have a boyfriend is this true?


As you are asking the question, perhaps you have your suspicions already...Whats making you think you are?\nDo you think by stating the above that anyone on Yahoo answers can give you the best advice, however hard everyone tries??\nIf you are seriously worried - I say go see your doctor..\nGood luck

Is there an Asian Culture called Louse? I don't know if that is the correct spelling or not? If so can you give me some information?

Yes it's spelled Laos, and the country of Laos is located in south east Asia.\n\nTheir culture is very similar to Thai and Cambodian cultures. I can offer more specific details if you email me =)

I have been told by several people that the new child support laws going into effect in July 2006 and Jan 2007 could eliminate any child support payment from either party if the custody is 50/50.  We have over 50% custody of my stepdaughter and we still pay over 500.00 child support each week.  Can the new laws decrease the child support payment?\n\nThank you

In georgia you can appeal your child support payments every 2 years.  If you have greater than half custody, and can prove it, you most likely can get it stopped, maybe even start receiving some.


People here have complained of ugly nude people. The reason that many people are so ugly in the nude is precisely because our ancestors have NOT been nude. That is because people that were ugly in the nude have not regularly seen eachother in the nude, and resultingly were not too disgusted to breed with eachother. Nudity is thus conducive to voluntary eugenics.

At present i have no pain like one would have with hemmorhoids as i did suffer from the about 3 weeks ago so i know what the pains is like.No pain in that region at all.what do you think?

hemorrhoids deeper inside the rectum don't hurt as much as ones on the outside. \n\nbright red blood can also be a sign of colon or rectal cancer. if you are over 50 or have a family history of colon cancer, you need to go to the doctor and have a colonoscopy ASAP.


The sport of MMA is getting so popular, it is bound to overtake boxing as the premier combat sport.  I would like to find a way to invest in it.  However, it seems that all the bodies involved are LLC's (Zuffa , DSE, ROTR, IFL).  Does anyone know any companies or means to invest in MMA?

I am involved in MMA development in China.\n1.5 billion Chinese will soon be enjoying a MMA event similar to Pride.\nWe are looking for investment and sponsorship now\nPlease contact me if interested:\n\nashleywix@yahoo.com

I studied Environmental Resources Management, when i first graduated " July 2005" i looked for a job that is in my field of study, i applied for the all UN organisations, local environmental societies, .. no one accepted me, they all required "work experience" in the environment. So instead of being unemployed, i applied for one of the 5 star hotels ( a worldwide chain ) and started working in this hotel for almost a year in the Marketing Depatrment. It's really fun and i do really enjoy it. Which direction shall i go for? Shall i stay in the Marketing or shall i try to re-apply to the UN. since working with the UN has been my dream since i was a little girl. I don't want to be one of those people who spend 4 years studying what they want and in the end they end up working something else and convince themselves that they like what they are currently doing.\nShall i keep on applying for the UN? or shall i continue what i am doing and build up my career?

work on the 2  ;)\n\nkeep ur work in the hotel ...and enjoy ur time ...\n\nand by thats time try to apply for the UN jobs ... so could one day had thats job , thats were ur dream ...\n\ngood luck for you

Why are they white? and how do you get rid of them?\n\nFinally, what does Bonjela do?  Is it just to numb the pain, or does it help to get rid of them?

It is a type of virus ... NO NOT HERPES (that is ridiculous).  It is something in your blood partner.  You can't get rid of them ... there is no "CURE" for them ... you just have to let them run their course, but there are things that will make them run their course a little faster ... \n\n1.  Don't eat real spicy foods.\n2.  Don't eat highly acidic fruits, or vegetables.\n3.  Use "Listerine" 3 times a day and before you go to bed, gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide.\n4.  Use Cepacol or some other type of "numbing" lozenge to help with the pain.\n5.  If  you smoke, that's good ... that helps dull the pain as well.  (why  you ask ... I don't know).\n\nGood luck!


As a Wiccan myself, this is a part of our theology(depending on your Tradition of course)so how come I cant find any information on rituals pertaining to it?

Because Christians are discussing the truth and the word of God,and Wicca is a false religion.

Ok, there's Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, then there's Kellie Ripa!  The Blond Gals!  This woman is very annoying on the Regis show, and in general.  If I could choose anyone to blast off television it'd be her.  Does anyone ele feel this way.  By the way Jessica and Britney are pleasant acting compared to Kelly!

nah, she's annoying, and that's what makes her funny!\nbut, i think rachael ray (from food network) is annoying, too, because of her voice! ArrGH!!


PLEASE good answers because i am going to use this for a debate at school

although uniforms are put in place to protect poorer students from ridicule based on their lack of designer clothes or recent trends, in my experience this fails...miserably\n\neven though everyone has the same uniform, people can still incorporate designer wear into it...for example black trousers and black shoes, to most at my school, means black Armani jeans and prada shoes...the bags are designer too and often the coats. even though there is a uniform it is still clear who has money and who doesn't...so this argument is null and void\n\nto add to this i find it disturbing that individuality is crushed and freedom of expression through ones clothing is prevented. We should not be encouraged to follow the crowd or become a militant cloned like society!\n\nanyone who values freedom and individuality would oppose uniform.

Wow are you serious?! Well if that is true then you should start by looking for your birth certificate and if his name is on it then maybe you could ask his parents if you know them or check the yellow pages or things like that.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless


I have to right a paper on religions and why people generally believe them. I'm not a religious person so I can't say.\n\nWhy do you believe?

I don't, but I think those who do, need to believe that everything has a place and reason for being, that nothing is random.  A comfort to those who believe.

after clicking the particular song ...generally a window for the juke box pop-ups..but today am not getting it  and it reads  "POP-UP window  was blocked".am using windows xp.so waht should I do now?

Hold ctrl while you click the link. That tells the pop up blocker to ignore this particular pop up. Also, you could right click where it says that a pop up was blocked and select allow pop ups for this site, if you don't feel like holding ctrl every time.

First of all Blk women We have grown so much We are doctors lawyers ect. If the blk man want to date outside his race why on earth should it effect us.I mean damn we delt with there shyt long enough let someone else deal w it now!The other day i went shopping with a friend of mine and we passed a interacial couple and she says as loud as can be "HE WITH THE WHITE PIG" lord i was so embarrassed ! first honey Comments like those are the types that give these white women the illusion that we are jelous of them .We confirm the dumb ass theory when we make those silly statements aloud..Secondly we use the phrase "our men" honey if the man isnt your man, your brother,father,,cousin are anyone within your circle he is not YOUR man...so let her azz (whatever her race may be have him) in conclusion BLK women we are stronger & smarter than that! let them have there slave masters women ..!!!!!WHY SHOULD WE CARE!its not effecting us on a personal level !

Best Answer!\n\nWhen considering this topic I believe black woman are not concerned about her career or status, but focused on her pride when making a statement concerning "our black men being w/other races".  \nMost people are not aware that many of blackwomen are hurting. Have been for sometime. \nFirst scenerio:\nBlkwomen who are raising kids alone / divorced, yet still working - no time for a social life, but they try.  \nSecond scenerio:\nBlkwomen raising husbands (he doesn't work)or she is single good career, but she cannot get a "specific type of goodman"  \nBoth type of women have been hurting for years and both feel they have not been respected or honored publicly. \n \nThat inferior/insecure feeling/emotion is passed off as anger. Many of blackmen have been blamed for this or that as to why blkwomen life, lifestyle has not been better. That blaming likened to that of blackmales who blame white people as to why their life is not better. \n\nWe all have to take care and love each other and I do believe many of black women feel like no one is taking care of them. Many feel blackmen have desserted them long before dating/marrying other races was popular. So now to see blackmen with other races w/o regards to what blackwomen have contributed within the american black culture for some is a smack in the face. Its like being at work and its a team effort to finish a job, but when being honored the boss speaks of only one of the members. \nThe rest of the people feel like they got overlooked, but they all know everyone worked hard. Blkwomen feel overlooked by many of blackmen and society, yet black women make up the families/ neighborhoods/ etc..  \n\nPeople have to learn that when a man and a woman come together they are not representing their entire race/culture country as in the olympics, but instead they are representing love. Love for one another - period. \n\nHope this answers your question!

I get stressed out very easily by little, stupid things, and am a huge worry-wart.  Also, a couple of times that I have been in a room with a large group of people (especially during work meetings) I start to feel sick for no reason.  Like I'm about to throw up, pass out or both.  I've never had an anxiety attack or anything, but I think I might have a problem.  How do I know?

You know you have a problem if it makes it hard to function in your day-to-day tasks.  Is is a problem or merely an inconvenience?  If it is a problem then seek professional help.\n\nThere are things you can do, though, to calm yourself down.  You can learn relaxation techniques like muscle relaxation or deep breathing.  You do this in your spare time and then use the skills when you're in stressful situations.  \n\nYou're afraid of something.  A professional can help you with this or you can work through it yourself.  If you're like me or most people, then you slowly work through this kind of thing.  The sickness feels serious but eventually you find that it isn't.  The more you are cool with it the easier it is to cope.  Hope that helps.

My mother is all into military men and men with money, my fiance is not military but he does work and make good money.  My mother does not ask about him or acknowledge him half the time, but I know if he were military she would be all in his face.  His mother adores me and is constantly asking about me. My fiance and me do have some bad spending habits so we are both broke a lot, we don't spend our money wisely, my mother contributes this to the fact that I would be better of with someone that has a lot of money or someone in the military.  She's quick to throw that in my face when I ask for some money till payday. What should I say to my mother??. My mom feels like a man should pay all the bills and I should just pay my own personal debts..well that was true 20-30 years ago. Me and my man split the bills, sometimes one of us pay's all the rent or something like that. My mom feels like a man should just immediately pay ALL the bills as soon as he steps foot in her house...seriously!!

Your mother is from the old school. Don't fault her for that! Would you rather she be with someone is abusive, penniless, unemployed or a crackhead? Would you feel better then? If these men do not like financially contributing to your mother, then they can decide against it. I think that you and your mother can agree to disagree. You feel as if there should be a split and your mother thinks the man should pay all the way. I wish you and Mom all the best!


Actually, it's the exact opposite. The bad boys use loud and boorish behaviors, which in fact are covering up insecure personalities.\n\nDon't you think that a man with genuine confidence shows it in a quiet manner with dignity and character? He KNOWS he's confident . . . he doesn't have to prove it.

I've been looking for a Montana appeals attorney for some years. I want to change a guilty plea to not guilty and appeal a 1981 case. I received 2 years probation. I wasn't guilty but was advised to plead guilty due to the prejudices against Vietnam veterans at that time. \nAre there any attorneys out there willing to handle this case?

You can find an attorney on http://www.martindale.com/\n\nJust email someone licensed in your jurisdiction (Montana) and  perhaps with some affiliation to you (same school).\n\nGood luck!

No, I have not read the Divinci Code or seen the movie.

This is not in the bible, but from other sources.\nOther sources have placed Jesus working with Joseph both as a carpenter at home and as a handiman. Later when Joseph changed lines of work, Joseph and Jesus traveled to foreign countries where Joseph did business and Jesus studied the cultures. Apparently when Joseph became ill and died, Jesus started his ministry, and the rest IS in the bible.\nYes! There are other places that talk about Jesus besides the bible.


i ran away from my folks in florida to be with me boyfriend in maine. i gave everything up for him. my family & my friends. we've been together for two years almost 3 years. ever since i moved in, he started to act different. like he was possesive and he "owned me". i love him so much. what do i do? i still wana be with him, but how do i know he'll change back to the nice person he was before. do you think its becoz we see each other everyday and hes sick of me?

i was in your almost same situattion i was 17 (pregnant) he was 31. I lived in Nh i ran away to NYC. He got very possesive than that turned to abuse. Go back to your family, you dont knpw what you are putting them through. Atleast let them knoe that you are ok to let them know you are alive. I did see my mom for year & half & she wasnt mad please let them know you are ok. Do you know what its like to have the FBI contact your family saying they have a teenage girl that matches their daughters description. well thats what happened to my mom & i regret the hell i put her through. If i could only do it over. I now have a daughter & hope she never puts me through what i put my mom through.\nremember family is forever. please go back & if you need anyone to talk to email me.


I pay my ISP for internet access. Who do they pay?

They use a bigger ISP, and so on, till they get to some "root" networks that are just connected to each other.

Flying Spaghetti Monster...\nReally, it is a religion... It belives strange things, and makes sense...\nQuote, "Pirates are a major component of the Pastafarian belief system. Pirates are supposedly "absolute divine beings" in Pastafarianism. The origin of the inclusion of pirates into Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is linked back to the original letter to the Kansas State Board of Education that began the mock religion itself. In it, Henderson explains that "global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s." \nGo to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster :)

It's a parody of religion drawn up to hopefully show the creationists how silly their push for fantasy in the classrooms is.\n\nThe point is that the worship of the Flying Spaghetti Monster makes as much sense as what the christians carry on about. If magic is to be taught as science, than all silly ideas have to be given equal weight. The FSM should be given equal time in the classroom if they're going to open that door.\n\nRAmen!

I can't get tired of watching half-an-hour of Robert Duvall and gunships in Apocalypse Now Redux. Its just so amazing to me. What are your comments on the movie?


dont be smug just because you have a bible, which btw was written by humans and is therefore is fallable.

I don't think anyone has really answered this question.  I found out that everything I was being taught about God were lies or mistruths and was very upset.  I have since set out on my own spiritual quest and have a much better understanding of our creator.  Don't believe everything anybody tells you (even the authors of the bible).  Seek and ye shall find.  God is within.


The paper has to be about any company and their information systems But I don't even have an idea on how to begin, or where to start looking for help.

pick a company - lets say a shoe store. use a paragraph telling what goes on in a shoe store - keeping an inventory -making sails - keeping books - paying staff etc. Then show how each of these activities could be improved by the use of a computer - speed - accuracy - ability to handle large amounts of data. Then finish it by talking about how a relational data base like Access would handle all of it.


how can i read something like a sign or number plate am i doing something wrong?

Yes, it is supposed to do that. Your telescope is for astronomy.  Looking at the moon, stars, planets and whatever else you can find out here, the reversed image doesn't matter.  If you want to spy on the neighbors or see distant objects, get a spotting scope or binoculars.


I love Ricky Ullman from Pill of the Futrue!!!! He is so hott!!! Who thinks so too?

It considered normal for a woman to go out to work, it is also considered normal for a woman to be a housewife. It is considered normal for a guy to go out to work. Why is the idea of a man staying in, doing the housework and looking after the kids, considered to be so strange?

It's all to do with tradition.\nThroughout time men did the work (cavemen went hunting) and the women raised the kids and kept the house nice.\nIt's only been a recent thing that women can work and it is accepted where for hundreds & hundreds of years women could not work especially after marriage. Working was for men and men only.\nSo being a househusband is not traditional and is a new thing it always takes a while for new things to become usual and not strange.\nI admire your ability to cope as a househusband as it's a pretty thankless job and much harder than most men realise.\nYou have my respect

Something I have wondered as I am using the sauna now (with contacts) \n\nThanks !!

I've never had a problem.  It can't be any worse than being in Arizona or Texas in August!


The good times are killing me....How about you?

the good times have done rolled my flamingo, twice. fortunately i have always been a bigger fan of the term "bad" than "good", so i guess they started out dead, the gift that keeps on giving. i guess.


she is one of my sisters best friends, my friend has a big crush on her and shes a a few months older than me. her name is lauren, and she def. knows i exist. i talk to her about my friend cause he wants me to get her to like him. wat ever friend. she has a little brother and he idolises me. is that good or bad. her older bro. thinks im cool. yes! but shes going out wit my friend because he begged her to and he got on her nervs, and cuz her friends told her to. shes realy nice and funny, and definently hot but looks isnt wat matters. my sis. has a suspicion that she likes me, but if i told her she would tell every one and wel i proply die. just i would like to know what she wants in a guy, and how to get her

It doesn't matter.  Tell you sister, "Damn, I can believe she's actually going out with him (your friend).  I didn't think it would bother me, but I guess I do like her more than I thought.  Think you can help me out with her sis?"\n\nEven if your sister tells everyone, at least she'll know you like her.  On the other hand, your sister might actually help you.  Girls like to hook up their friends, it's like their version of frequent flyer miles, when they get older they cash in the points for favors.\n\nAnyway, if you don't go this route, wait until you friend has his date with her, if it goes well, you're screwed, but if it doesn't then next time you talk to her tell her, "Hey, I heard the date didn't go so well.  I don't wanna sound rude, but I'm actually kind of happy about it."  She'll ask why and then you say, "Well, because I think my sister might have a brother who really likes you."\n\nAfter she laughs and you two make out, give her her bra back and ask her out on a date.  Now make sure your sister makes new friends that are hot and you'll never run out of dates!

This was available on HMV record earlier.

Not sure about this song, but HMV are releasing works of old artists including radio recordings that they have found now. \nI am looking for album by Chhaya Ganguly. Very few songs recorded of hers for some strange reasons. Love the way she sings. Ofcourse my fav remains Shobha Gurtu.


I know what a deficit but not sure what time deficit means.  It was a question my girlfriend asked me for her finance class.  My thoughts are that it’s the total deficit with in x amount of years so if you loose $200 in year one and $300 dollars in year two and only make $50 in year one and $50 in year two then your time deficit is $400.

It has to do with time differences in work hours.
