one person rolls the dice as many times as needed to obtain 12 consecutive rolls whereupon they obtain their point , their point being the number they get on the first roll coming out, after they have obtained their first point or rolled 7 or 11 on their first roll they proceed to roll the dice to obtain their second point or 7 or 11

it's pretty complicated, and I'm too far removed from my math courses to keep it all straight.  But it varies based on what your point is, simply because some outcomes are more likely.\n\n4 has 3/36 odds of being the point\n5 has 4/36\n6 has 5/36\n8 has 5/36\n9 has 4/36\n10 has 3/36\n\nBut you can't roll 7.  So if we assume the point is 5, for each roll there is 32/36 odds that we don't roll 5, but 6/36 odds we roll a seven.  Reconcilling that involves equations that I've long since forgotten about.\n\nI think maybe [((8/9 - 1/6)^11)*(1/9)] would be the odds you'd roll 11 times without getting 7 or 5 and get a 5 on the 12th roll.  That'd be about .0214.  That you'd follow that up with a 7 or 11 would be .0214*(8/36), or .00535\n\nSite I link to be low discusses the outcomes a bit more formally than I'm cabaple of doing these days.


shaq cause he'd just post him up every time.


I need help! I have gotten some hours at an elementry school but I need more and I am running out of time.. I wish I could just write it off some how lol.

Try volunteering at a local animal shelter to walk dogs...that'd be fun!


I mean im good looking i just want to know if there is something wrong with it

I think if you have a long relationship, most of the times it never works out. But if you both really love each other it can work out. (i hope it does in ur case). JUST HAVE TRUST IN EACH OTHER, and it will workout


Lately he's been talking about moving to Real Madrid and Pirès wants to go to Juventus...

If Arsenal don't win the Champions League, there's a very strong possibility that Henry will move, most probably to Barca :(\n\nHope the main Gunner stays at Arsenal!


marshall jcm2000 tsl 122 or fender twin reverb reissue?

I have a Marshall jcm2000 tsl and i absoultely love it.  It has all of the balls to the wall tone i was looking for.  However, i have played around on a fender twin and was very pleased with it, too.  Deciding which one is best for you really all depends on what tones you are looking for.  If you're looking for a good metalish tone, go with the marshall.  If you're looking for a good blues rockish sound, go with the fender.  They both have great clean tones, so if that's what you're looking for, it's a toss up that's gonna be decided by the guitar you play through it with.  They are both very well made amps and will do pretty much whatever you want.  I have to say, though, I'm partial to the Marshall.


It seems that when many Americans are interviewed, they cannot answer the proposed questions without giving an irrelevant answer or not understanding the question at all!?

Idiomatic expressions vary from theUK to america, then most ppl do that on interviews they are asked something and just bubble around say a bunch of words and no concrete answer...


I`m a male and my best male friend and I had sex more then a couple times,and we both enjoided, I like him, and I want to tell him, I never had a boyfriend before, and he just discover he was bi too having sex with me, but I don´t see him sence a month ago because a college break and I don´t know if i like him too.\nAlso we are very different persons, and we live in a very conservative society, we both are afraid to be discover , but at least I like him\nso I wanna know what to do, I don´t wanna lost him as a friend, because I really don`t know how he feels about me, but i want something else at the same time. should I tell him, n how i tell him?

It is so nice that you care so much about  both your friend and you.\n\nYou see whatever happened has happened. It can't be changed. So either you find ways to move on or you just slack back.\n\nYou said you are best friends. A lot of things happen between best friends you know so this should not be a hard one to tackle. It happened because you were both passionate about each other. It now appears you are both bi. No big deal.\n\nFirst you said you liked him and now you are saying you don't know if you like him. NO problem about that, you will soon know if you like him or not.\n\nHowever, since you said you have not seen him in a month and this whole thing is getting into you, well i think is about time you talk with him. It does not matter if you are different persons or not, you still have to find out where you stand. You need to talk with him and find out if you are both embarassed about the things that happened and if you still want to be best of friends. If you both still want to keep on having sexual feelings for each other, well that is when to find out, by talking to each other. Please tell him your mind, what you think, what should stop, what should go on and stuffs like that. It will work out.\n\nYou and i both know you don't want to lose a friend like him. Then i think it's about time you spoke to him.\n\nPlease don't feel shy. OK. Open up and tell him every single thing in your heart.\n\nYou will definitely find your answer. Keep it cool and GOOD LUCK.\n\nHave fun too.


I mean... there's always chemistry... right? \n\nwhat do u think?

Yes\n\nThe willingness to Listen\nThe patience to Understand\nThe strength to support\nThe heart to care\nAnd, Just to be there is the beauty of FRIENDSHIP


Just remember this.  Just because the News Media says that something may or may not be impeachable does not mean it is.\n\nAnd just because you dont like him is not a reason.

No, he should not be impeached, he has done nothing that is illegal.  Too bad he has so many fairweather fans, everyone loved him after 9/11, and now....have people forgotten?  \n\nDon't forget that our brave men and women in the armed services are there by choice, not by any type of draft, and to sit home on your computer and whine about what is going on over there is an insult to them all.  It will be interesting to see how Bush is written about in the history books, everyone will probably love him in ten years when we see the good he has done...\n\nI get so tired of all the answers taken directly from "the daily show".....come on people, it's on Comedy Central, and bills itself as the fake news..   Read a paper.\n\n\nand p.s. to the people out there trying to make ends "meat"....maybe if you worked harder and educated yourself, you would be one of the "rich" people.  I certainly am not, working single mom (hate that term), and also going to school---not living off of the government, not expecting a handout...willing to work for what I have.  And you can bet that when I am done and making more money, and paying more income tax, I will deserve a bigger tax break.  It's only fair, right?


I live in what is considered a tourist town. Our gas prices are well over the $3.00 mark. It seems like whenever theres a holiday weekend or an event the prices go higher. I was just wondering if there are any laws prohibiting this. I live in Arizona.

There are laws prohibiting antitrust and collusion for gas prices or any other industry.  However, since there are no charges being brought forward, then the general conclusion is that prices aren't being fixed.

I would like to know what things I can do in my computer's registry to make it rund better, but also not take things out that will make it run "bad"

My ex bestie asks me if we could be friends again after she hurt me really bad. Now my current bestie is mad at me because she thinks I'm gonna leave her and now she's not even talking to me! What do I do? PLEASE DO NOT SAY MAKE NEW FRIENDS!! This all happens in school by the way...

Not to make light of the situation, but tell them to grow up because you are too mature for all this drama.  Ask them why you can't have two best friends?


.... while running we must wear-\nthongs\na bra- no shirt\nand two pairs of jeans (must be size2 or lower)\nis this normal?\n(she is a woman)

Not normal.  Very strange.  I'd like to see it.


what is so good about it what are the benefits from it

it means that either they are re-doing teh position description so you must be "trained" in your position again or it can be that some or all your coworkers are not doing their jobwell so they are training everyone again.\nGood - you can always learn something new\nBad - probably will be long and boring.


I keep trying to reset the internet settings to "Low" under the Privacy and Security tabs in the Internet Properties and as soon as I change the settings to "Low" or "Medium-Low" then close the window, the settings automatically go back to "High". This is preventing me from accessing some websites. This has become increasingly frustrating? Are these increased security features a bi-product of Windows XP Service Pack 2?

Be sure to click OK when you make the change--if you dont it will always go back to the default setting.\n\nYou really do not need LOW--medium is sufficient to get you into most web sites and stay secure.

how come break ups seem to effect women so much more then men\nanswers please

Women tend to get more emotionally involved faster than men. It takes a while for men to realize what they have and actually put emotions/feelings into it.

Been married 6 years.  We've both been in therapy for the last year and a half, seperatly.  We did couples counseling a few years ago but to no avail as I was not honest in it (she knows this) and our therapist was not right for us.  We have our own individual issues but we're both in recovery from them now.\n\nI feel like I want to leave.  I don't feel that emotional love for her anymore.  I imagine that if she left I wouldn't miss her.  It is complicated becasuse I have all these fears about staying married and being a victim which I know are crap becasue no one makes me a victim but me, but I still feel them and I don't want to decide this based on those feelings.\n\nEven though I know I could live with her and be myself, really be myself, I don't think I want to.  I think I really do want to leave.  And if that's true, I need to go, becasue its not fair to either of us to stay together that way.\n\nBut I don't trust my feelings or thoughts.  What to do?

It's true that you shouldn't make your decision based on your feelings. If ou find that it's really difficult for both of you to move on like this, I would advice for the divorce.It isn't the nicest thing to do but if you feel you want to, go for it.\n\nIn other words, I would suggest that both of you take another try on your marriage and try to mend it. After all, you've been married and there's a reason to that. You marry because of the love you have for each other. Think about that. Think about the reason why you did it in the 1st place.\n\nYou do not just marry her for no reason. Try using that to mend your marriage. Talk to each other and understand each other better. Counselors sometimes can't be trusted and that's where your money runs. \n\nI really hope you'll think about it. Hope you'll last together and be happy! Hope this helped! Good luck!!


looking for a business investor for a boutique.

You might try the Atlanta Technology Angels (although they do primarily tech deals), or go a bit further afield and talk to Ariel Savannah Angel Partners. Those are both bona fide groups of sophisticated angel investors that actively seek out and invest in plans. A short bit down the food chain is the Gathering of Angels, which is a periodic event that takes place in a number of cities, including Atlanta, at which four entrepreneurs pitch their plans to investors. The problem with this one is that they will charge you $2000 to present.\n\nIf you feel like simply casting your plan out on the waters, so to speak, you could give a try to "Funding Georgia", which is a web page front end where you can post your business plan and hope that some investor sees it (pretty unlikely, but they claim to have 28 investors in Georgia signed up, so who knows?)\n\nFinally, if you want to try farther afield, take a look at the directory of the Angel Capital Association, which lists virtually every legitimate angel investment group in the country. Good luck!


I have to find the claw length of wolf for school but nobody knows so I came here to ask.

I found this site selling wolf claws saying that they average 2 inches in length.


it cause i no longer see men open doors for women or pull out their seat. i think it the cause of the women.

Hm. I'd love to find a gentle man. I think the question should be "how come there's no more gentlemen?"


Could this cause bacterial infections or do you harm?

do not use any lotion not even water based.  this is very bad.  yeast infection, itching.  do something differnt.  stay away from lotion.


I noticed on many sites that she is a fashion designer, I think I may have gone to school with her. Same 3rd grade class. I named my daughter after her. She should be around 45 years old today. We attended Denker Ave Elementary School in Gardena California. She has one younger sister.


We got together with some friends last night and somehow we got on the subject of butt wiping.  I couldn't believe how many different techniques people used?!  For example, wadding up a ball of TP vs. taking a few squares and folding it up nicely. Or, reaching around and wiping from behind vs. going between the legs. Me, I'm a sit down fold it up nicely between the legs kinda guy.  How about you?

well ur question made me grin so thought I'd ansa.\ni sit down and wipe from behind cause if ur a female (like me) going between the legs could b kinda messy! lol :)


Don't worry, I have a good sense of humor.

How much is too much if it doesn't affect your job or family life?  Just curious..

In health care we refer to a quick survey called the CAGE questions.\n\nCAGE Questions\n\n1. Cut\n   Ever felt you ought to cut down on your drinking?\n2. Annoyed\n   Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?\n3. Guilt\n   Ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?\n4. Eye Opener\n   Ever had an eye-opener to steady nerves in the AM?\n\nIf someone answers yes to two of them, then there's a strong indication they have a drinking problem. The more 'yes' the more likely you have a problem.


they saay Alcatraz is haunted i want more about all prisons haunted

depends on the age of the site and what history it has.. all buildings or locations can be haunted it just depends on what may have happened there.


My friend is annoying me.  Her parents kind of spoil her, but she never talks to them.  She doesn't notice that having  a good relationship with your 'rents can make your life better, and she only sees what they do wrong.  It really makes me angry, but I don't know if I should tell her to suck it up or not.  She' my best friend, and I don't want to lose that.

wait until she complains again then say something.


If they finish third and fourth the actual Spanish Primera?

Real Madrid definetly will. Osasuna will if they play an easy team in the qualifiers. If they play any team from the top 5 leagues (Italy, England, Germany, France, or Holland) they will not go through.

This is what I got from wikipedia, I doubt it's hip hop but it's still something...\n"Shakira's latest single, "Hips Don't Lie" (featuring Wyclef Jean), which samples the song "Amores Como El Nuestro," by Jerry Rivera."


i have a straight friend... he knows that i am experimental.one time, i asked if i could kiss him...(french)he said yes but when we were already in the secluded place, he objected cuz he was made happy by his girl that day.now, we are in the city, no girlfriends... how do i lure him into something "fresh" ywt he knows what i can do,i even joke bout blow jobbing him and talk dirty and stuff...

If he's really a friend you wouldn't try to 'lure' him into doing something he doesn't wanna do.


What is PHACO eye laser surgery to remove cataracts? what surgical instruments are used? what procedure is it? explain all the important information related to PHACO.

What is Phacoemulsification?\n\nPhacoemulsification(PHACO) has gained in popularity in recent years, and is now the preferred form of cataract removal. Although this procedure has been available to us for a long time, recent advances and refinements in machine and microsurgical instruments have made it safer and more effective than previously.\n\nThe technique of phacoemulsification utilizes a small incision. The tip of the instrument is introduced into the eye through this small incision. Localized high frequency waves are generated through this tip to break the cataract into very minute fragments and pieces, which are then sucked out through the same tip in a controlled manner. A thin 'capsule' or shell is left behind after cleaning up of the entire opaque cataract.\n\nThe incision size for phacoemulsification is approximately 3.0 millimeters in width. If a lens implant that can be folded is used following removal of the cataract, this incision may not have to be enlarged. If a lens is used which cannot be folded, the incision must be enlarged to 5.0 or 5.5 mm.\n\nAre the stitches required after Phacoemulsification?\n\nThe incision (wound) required for phacoemulsification is small (3 mm) and the wound construction is such that it is self-sealing. Therefore a surgery in which a foldable lens has been implanted through the small 3 mm wound, generally does not require any stitch, as it is watertight. The surgeries in which the wound has been enlarged (5 or 5.5 mm) to put a lens that can not be folded, is likely to require one stitch, because the wound is larger.\n\nIn addition, some surgeons simply prefer the safety of having the incision sutured, even if the incision is already watertight. The best procedure for a patient is usually the one with which his or her ophthalmologist feels the most comfortable, since these variations of cataract surgery are all quite effective.\n\nWhat are the advantages of Phacoemulsification over routine extracapsular surgery?\n\nIn a conventional surgery the incision required is larger (10-12 mm) and requires stitches for closing. This larger incision takes 6-8 weeks to heal. Moreover, the stitches can cause distortion of the normal curvature of the cornea (the clear part of eye) and thus lead to astigmatism and blurred vision because of this.\n\nEssentially all the advantages of phacoemulsification are because of small incision, which is self-sealing. The wound is more stable and the chances of wound complications are minimized. The patients can resume their normal activity faster as compared to conventional extracapsular surgery. The wound healing is faster and more predictable, and therefore glasses can be prescribed much earlier as compared to the conventional surgery. The patient requires less follow up visits for checkups. As the incision is small and in many cases stitches are not required, the cornea does not get distorted and therefore the chances of significant astigmatism is mi

For around 25 cents you can make copy to take with you if you cannot afford a lawyer you can get one pro-boneo call lawyer (ref). GET THEM SUM LORDS. Good Day.

I ordered a video game almost a moth ago and reported it as not here and he still hasn't responded What can I do?\nPLEASE HELP ME

Contact him again telling him you will allow him 2 more weeks -then you will report him to E-Bay - Also if I sent money already I would  report him to the police -chances are he's done this before and you are not he only victim- I was friends with a guy until he started stalking me because he wanted to date me and I only wanted to be friends so I went down to the police station and filed re-straining order- turns out he had a warrant for his arrest for fraud on E-bay - he would post a pic of a high price stereo or other item and when he got the money he would send the customer a box of books or a broken appliance- The officer gave me a copy of his report it was 5 pages long of all the scams he did- Just be careful - I heard the safest way to order from E-bay is to order from those who use Pay-pal cause I heard they will refund your money\nGood Luck

I don't think so, all they do is smoke dope.


i want to know how yall ask a guy out so that i can get ideas

I'm a guy. If a girl just came up to me and asked if I wanted to go out, I would be ecstatic. \n\nJust say "Hey, I think you're attractive and I'd like to take you to dinner and a movie"\n\nHe'll like it. I swear.


Background: This girl has been showing a lot of interest lately like going dancing, inviting me to hang out with her family member, wanting to go together on a show etc. But in the past she had said that she was interested only in Friendship when I told her that I liked her. Now she was away and I casually offered  to pick her up from the airport  coming from overseas, initially she acted she could use the cab (It was very obvious from her reply that she wanted it)and I did not say anything then all of a sudden she sends me the email that she would very much like me to pick her up if I was still offering. So I pick her up, dropped her at her place, she asks me for  glass of wine, I refused since I had to get home. But her roommate was also present. So question is, I am getting all kind of signals. Can you tell me what is going on?

She's a little intrigued now that you're not chasing her anymore... keep it up buddy, make her throw herself at you from now on - she will luv you for keeping it that way !


i have been chatting with a guy on line for about a month or so, he has asked me to come to where he lives, i would be staying at a hotel...by myself...how safe is this?

I got the same relationship, but I won't go, because I behave on myself. But depends on you girl, isn't that really think so fast? And to look for some more time please!!


I'm dating a guy who has a girlfriend. He stays with her because if he doesn't he won't be able to see his kids. It's not possible for him to successfully take her to court over it because of his criminal background. It's difficult for me knowing that he's with her, but saying he cares for me. What Should I do?

i know you have heard this saying \n\nif you love something let it go if it comes back its tru love \nu don't know for sure hes not sleeping with her when your not with him don't let his words mess with you you need to think about this and trust me if he loves you he will find away to see his kids and not her


Two drivers drove slowly and safely in the correct direction down a wide road before coming to a stop in front of a red stop light. A nearby police officer immediately arrested one of the drivers and let the other one driver off. The police officer had never seen or heard either driver before. Neither driver had a criminal record. They were both fully dressed and no one had been drinking. Both cars were in excellent roadworthy condition and had not been stolen. The arrested driver was charged and convicted. Of what?

Being a woman. She was driving in a country where women aren't allowed to drive (Saudi Arabia, I think).


we are really good friends, and if he doesnt like me, i dont want the a ruined friendship

Only way to tell is how he treats you... \n\nIf you are in a group ask him which girl he likes in the group and how much.\n\nIf he is a good friend you should be able to ask him and not have any come back.\n\nIt work both ways if a man like you he ask you ques and will try not to let you know.\n\nIts part of the growing up game.


I had a kidney biopsy done a couple years ago, and I was terrified going in. But it turned out to be a breeze. Tell your doctor in advance that you are afraid, and also talk ahead of time to the lab that will be taking the sample. When I had mine done, they gave me two different IV drugs (Versed was one, can't remember the other) to put me into a twilight-sleep, and I didn't feel anything at all. So ask the doctor and the lab if you can have something that will help calm you down, and so that you won't be fully awake during the actual procedure. \n\nMost important of all (for me, anyway), was to have my husband there with me during the procedure. It's comforting to have a loved one right there with you, to hold your hand, to ask questions you might not think of asking, and it also helps to have that extra pair of ears there to hear everything you are told - believe me, when it's happening to you, everything they say tends to go in one ear and right out the other. Ask if you can bring someone with you - your spouse/significant other, parent, best friend, whoever's presence would make you feel better.\n\n(For my kidney biopsy, they inserted a long needle-like tube in through my back, using ultrasound to guide them to position it properly, then the biopsy needle was inserted through that to retrieve the samples.

you can look it up on the internet and look and find a apartment that might not always be the ceapest, but something you can afford, but doesn't have like rats or mice or termites.\n\nAlso, you can save up your money to BUY a house, instead of renting it.


The company I used to work for fired me when I came back on property,and wasn't working.\nAn employee let me use their vehice to get home. I went back 3 hours later to pick him up (Then getdropped off,and I went as far as the Guard house to pic up the employeeand that was considered on property.. I was advised one other time as to the ruling,BUT never even thought where I was going to pick this per up and LEAVE.Not go any futher on property just leave. My Boss said at the time"You should have parked across the street.\n \nI'm a retired poice officer,of 30 yrs,and think this is alittle much.It was his way of geting rid of me. It's 64 hrs. of vacation time that is paid when one leaves,but because I was fired they say they don't have to pay me. It's only 64hrs. X $14.00 -$896.00 Not the biggest purse but feel I'm getting Screwed. Thanks for your assistance   J.Chase

Pt. 1\nMy b/f asked me if I wanted to marry him, I froze, for me that has always ben a scarry tought, I didn't say anything, he got upset, didn't talk to me till the next day, didn't bring it up again.\n\nPt. 2\nI let another day pass by for him to cool off, he came over to spend the night, I brought it up, I told him like this, "I'm sorry for reacting the way I did, and I just wanted to tell you that I would love to start a life with you, and I would love to marry you" He just gave me this mean look and didn't say anything, yet afterwards, well I'll just say we had a good night, but he still hasnt said anything else sinse yesterday.\n\nNow I ask guys cause you can guess better what the heck was going trough his head, now I'm more scared than ever.

Because you froze he thought you didn't want to. Lots of things will be going through his mind so he was probly unsure wot to think. Now yourve said yes he will be happy, but i guess unsure wot to do! its not everyday this happens, so prehaps he doesn't know what to do next! try and spend a weekend away together, just you too. He can't escape so you will have plenty of time to talk and errr....well wot eva else you choose to do!!

he will try and spend time with you as much as possible and will do anything you tell him to(anything decent) and will laugh at your jukes and will be kind of protective.

He wants to make it look like the star wars kid videos. He wants to know if there is any software you can use to make it that is less than $100.

use what the StarWars filmmaker uses, a long stick combined with computer effects to light the saber.\n\nBut it might be too hard to edit a while scene without specialized skill of a pro like the special effecter in SW, so just use a light stick and and computer to intensify the light saber effect


as title, how can I find people intereted play tennis with me^^?

Here are some suggestions that should work, depending on what is available to you in your area.\nFirst, find out the most popular club and public facilities in your city. If you can afford a club, I'd recommend that you join and ask the manager or pro to suggest some matches.\nOr, if you prefer the public facilities, hang around practicing your serve or hitting against a backboard, and usually someone will ask you to play.\nBetter, sign up for group lessons at a club or public courts. You will meet others at similar levels, and they often are looking for practice partners.\nIf you are already a decent player, sign up for local tournaments or, even better, for USTA leagues if they are available.\nGood luck.


This has been something weighing on my heart........\n\nGod tells us the following:\n\n1.)  Children are a blessing from God\n2.)  Be fruitful and multiply\n3.)  In ALL things trust God and He will direct our paths.\n\nSo then as Christians, what makes it ok for us to tell God how many children we can have.

Since Adam and Eve graduated from Eden, god seems to have left the building and developed a bad habit of not returning his calls.  We're all on our own, we have to do the best we can.  Don't go looking for reasons to feel guilty, you'll only make yourself crazy.


I have noticed Ham is a big thing for Christmas.  But Jesus was Jewish and they don't eat Pork.  So what is up with that.  It seems pretty disrespectful to me.

Yes, Jesus was Jewish until He fulfilled the Old Law and brought in the New Law, which we call Christianity because we accepted Him as the Christ. The New Law allows us to eat pork, which was formerly forbidden.\nMy family happens to eat Tamales for Christmas. Yum! Our ancestors were from Castile, Spain, so that is our tradition.


I saw on the cnn special that you have a organization about people helping young men that are in prison for something that they didn't do .


Marks contribute to getting into university or college, and sometimes getting a job, though rarely. What will really determine what your future will be is, what do you do with the opportunities you have? If you do a good job, no one will ever ask what your grades were in school. However, whether or not you learn things in school is a whole other matter...


I would really like to know how many died AND how many were injured in total. Friendly fire as well. It doesn't matter. Just a GRAND TOTAL.  They Are ALL American Soldiers! \nIm sure Americans would be shocked.\nAll of our troops have my support, but I do not like our US boys being in Iraq. It's not right. We have our own problems in America to deal with.  Mainly Healthcare. This is the richest country in the free world and All American CITIZENS SHOULD HAVE HEALTH CARE!

In the 1991 war, 382 died and 467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\nIn the 2003 war and the following occupation, 2,325 died and 17,467 were wounded in some fashion.\n\n\nThat's not bad at all.


The questions on here are STUPID!!!  is this for real or are all the people who ask stupid questions just STUPID???????

I have two children I do not have time to exercise I will do household work. Please suggest me your suitable medicine [Ayurvedic, Homeopathy]

You donot need medicines to cut you down. You just need ot first of all cut down your food intake. Make sure you take fruits in the morning and sometimes vegetables, In the afternoon take light foods with less fatty oils and more vegetables and iron.\nIn the evening always take light foods mostly salads because it is mostly at night that the food works in our body so always avoid to eat heavily in the night and drink water oftenly in the morning.


this guy i like always holds me and hugs me but i am not fsur if he likes me bcause i am too shy to ask him for fear of him to stop hugging holding etc... what do i do?

i understand where you're coming from because i am sort of going through the same thing. he gives signs that he may feel the same way i do but i want to know for sure. i'm afraid to ask him because if he does'nt feel the same way things may get ackward between us and i dont want that. i think that you should give little signs that you like him so that way if he likes you and realizes you feel the same way you can take things to the next level.

I got it wednesday. Im on the third level, and it's pretty cool. different then the older versions. but in a good way!

The graphics and the detailing are good, but unfortunately, it's quite a short game. Also, the amount of hard drive space required is crazy - 7GB plus? The bike riding sections could be better, too. In TR3 and The Last Revelation, the riding sections were more like obstacle courses. The ones here are effectively just races from one area to another.


Are there any fees or penalties with getting pre-approved for a home loan if you don't take out the loan?  Are you free to get pre-approved by several lenders?

A pre-approval entails a lender going through and verifying your information (underwriting your income, assets and credit).\n\nYou would then get a pre-approval letter.  Yes, there is typically a charge for this.  There is applcation fees (3rd party) which they'd collect in the form of an application fee.\n\nSure you can get pre-approved with any and every lender you'd like to go to... might hurt your credit though (even though it's not supposed to).\n\nYou are not commited to go with the lender that pre-approves you.  But, you should confirm this via their paperwork.  A company that does not charge an application fee will most likely have an application fee that is waived upon initiation of a mortgage.\n\nPre-approvals are a lot of work, and take time... use the lender that you want to use.  We all have basically the same loan products anyway.

We have been seeing each other for a little over three months, and have decided to make our relationship a bit more serious.A friend he went to grad school with recently moved to town (nearby him), and works at the same place.She is always calling him asking him to go to lunch/dinner/hang out, etc.Literally, she contacts hims 12 times a day!He is really nice, and has a hard time saying no; but even he gets annoyed by how often she wants to be around him.I have no problem with him having female friends (in fact he has others I have no problem with).What I do have a problem with, is that she works with him, sees him every day, has lunch with him several times a week, yet still wants to hang out with him several nights a week.For a while, she was spending a lot more time with him than I was.He was the one who pushed for the more committed relationship, so he does spend more time with me now, but she always calls while we are together.She thinks I'm threatened;I just want respect/space!

There's two people you need to talk to.  First person is him.  Explain how you are uncomfortable with her always calling him and you feel she is interfering with your personal time.  Tell your man that if he really wants this relationship to workout, he has to set boundaries with this girl because obviously she doesn't get it.Second person is her.  Tell her you know what a great guy he is because you and he are together.  However, you guys need alone time.  And if he wants to hang with her, HE will initiate it and schedule a time where all THREE of you can hang out.  Maybe hook her up with a guy you know.... Yeah its palming her off on someone else but you do need time alone with your man.  But just let her know that you are uncomfortable with the amount of times she calls a day and that every now and again is okay but not 12+ times.  \n\nIf she does keep calling and he's uncomfortable, you might want to look into having him get a TRO or something.  She may or may not be after your man (She could be bored or something and not have anyone that wants to hang with her cuz she sounds a bit clingy), but make sure you keep a level head about you because how you react to her clingy-ness could make you look bad.


All of a sudden my laptop will not boot up.  It tries, then gives me an error message stating that the primary drive can not be found! Can anyone please help me!?! I have lots of data stored, and I need to retrieve it.

your hard drive or master boot record may be corrupt or failed.  try resolving the bios boot.  when your Dell starts up go to the start up menu. it's either F2 or F12 it will show the option when you start the laptop.  once you are at the startup menu, do the following: turn on caps lock, scroll lock, and number lock. hold down the Alt key press the f key, then the e key, then the b key.  this will force your Dell to perform an automatic IDE configuration search.  It's a little secret I learned from the Dell enterprise support team.  I work with Dell computers in the business world.  If this doesn't find the hard drive, you will need to call Dell support.


Tomboy -- acts like boy but low maintenance, more fun to be around\n\nGirly girl -- high maintenance, looks better, but kinda superficial

I tend to prefer the girly girls cause they are sweet and nice, sexy, and smell wonderful. I also like the tomboys cause they know how to be rougher, they don't mind getting alittle dirty, they aren't afraid to do things a girly girl wouldn't try.


have they worked? how harmful are they? efedra is a bad ingredient, right. Can someone give me specific brand names that I can use.

My name is Coach Levario and I have an 8 year old son who loves football.  However, the majority of teams in my city are located too far from our home.  We live in the the 79938 zip code and I would love to start up a football program for ages 8-11.  If anyone out there is intrested in sponsering a team please contact me at geolev2@yahoo.com.

That is cool that your first name is coach.\n\nYou probably need to call one of the other teams and ask them to give you phone numbers of people to call.\n\nThat would be what I would do.


People say that religion is for the weak. Honestly, I am honored but also scared of the calling that God has given me. A Christian being a "sheep among wolves" can't possibly be weak. I honestly think that being a true follower of Jesus Christ is the hardest thing someone can choose to do. People of faith aren't weak. If anything, they're taking the harder path by choosing faith and also by taking responsibility for their lives. Those that choose to deny God just can't face up to having a faith.

What I've learned is that many people  expect Christians to BE JESUS,  who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we wouldn't have to. I agree that Christians are perceived as weak.  Even at my church,  people try to push me around, bully me,  snap at me,  gossip about me,  etc.   I'm expected to "turn the other cheek" for another slap.  When I stand up for myself,  they are shocked.  When I defend someone who I see is not being treated with compassion, I am criticized.  That's where the strength comes in - continuing to do what is right under adverse circumstances.  What Christians need to do is show the strength through actions,  no matter what the consequence.  \n\nDo you mean that they perceive Christian faith as a weakness in itself,  that living worldly makes a person stronger?  If so,  walking the Christian path is ridden with battles between us and non-believers.  It's part of the chosen path and can be very frustrating. Our peace comes when we know we've done the right thing under trying circumstances. What others' think is hurtful at times.  Yes,  they try to wear us down to believe as they do.  What's most important and that GOD sees our strength (through our actions) that we receive through HIM.  \n\nAs strong as we are as "sheep among wolves",  we are not superior to the wolves.  God loves them as much as He does the sheep.  We must continue to be as understanding and compassionate of them as possible without allowing ourselves to be abused.  This is also part of the path we chose - to love as God loves (to the best of our human ability) - very challenging,  at times.


on purchasing things that you and your husband are not in agreement with?  I would like to buy an office armoire and my husband REFUSES.  It is $1000.  He is going on a trip that we have known about (I did not object to this...of course, I did not know that it was going to end up being THAT EXPENSIVE)...that will cost us $3000. \n\nHow do you compromise on these types of things?

This can be a very big issue. A lot of marriages end over money issues. You two have GOT to sit down, put aside all specific issues at first, and concentrate on coming to an agreement on how you both are going to handle financial situations, especially large purchases. You have to come to an agreement on how the one will ask the other and define each of your boundaries. Then agree on how you will compromise. Above all, agree that you will first respect one another. Lay down the selfishness. THINGS are never as important as PEOPLE, especially the person you married. This said, it stands to reason that things should never come before each other. After you agree on how to communicate and compromise, then introduce specific issues.


Using drugs to enhance your performace is the same as cheating in school to get better grades.

You can't strip stats from the books because it will create continuity problems and holes in the way we look at accomplishments.   Stats are the major way we record baseball history.. The problem with steroids and other devices used to create an advantage over your opponent, it makes the honorable player suspect. Everyone who is good must be cheating.  Baseball should follow the I.O.C.'s logic and penalize for perception not proving beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Sports are not the legal system and need to show that they are beyond reproach and cheating.  It should fall to the individual player to know what medication he/she is taking and realize that it is their career and reputation at stake every time they use something on themselves internally or externally.


Is computer jobs (IT) still existing in the US?

Fortunately, yes there still jobs for IT professionals in US.  Outsourcing has been an alternative for many corporations, but this is a trend that might change in the future.  I had been planning retiring from the IT industry, but sometimes feels like we can loose our jobs to some people in India.


you have to buy pads or tampons go through (most of us)aches,pains,blood its an a s s.

I entirely see the point of them so I don't find them 'stupid' but I agree they are inconvenient, sometimes painful, often cause me to feel irritable, look spotty, feel fat and bloated and I'm always pleased when they're over for another few weeks.\nBut I have two beautiful children and I suppose having regular periods enabled me to produce them, so for that I am grateful

Anyone who watched Big Love on HBO last Sunday, please explain to me why the guy sent by Roman pretended to have a weird seizure in front of the other guy in the hotel, and then acted fine when the guy left.

Albert Grant, Roman's son, was the one pretending to have the seizure. I think he is gay, but can't face it. He was farther that night than he probably ever had in picking up the guy up and all. But, he could not go thru with the acutal act, so he faked the seizure instead of hurting the guy's feelings. Basically, Albert is an idiot!!


* Localize your letter -- explain how marriage equality will affect you or people you know in your community.  Include examples of discrimination you or others have faced as a result of discriminatory marriage laws.\n    * Make your letter timely - if the newspaper has recently printed a story or column about the issue of marriage and same-sex couples, you can reference the article and use it as a springboard for your letter.\n    * Keep your letter short and to the point -- 250 words maximum.\n    * Your letter should carry its most important message in the first paragraph.\n    * Include your name, address and daytime phone number.  Editors like to call to confirm that the letter was actually written by the person whose name appears on the letter.\n    * Limit the number of points you make, and stay on the same subject.


im hispanic to but if youre here you have to love this country please stop waving mexican flags or flags from where ever youre from why the hell do you show you want to stay here by waiving a flag from another country and as long as immigrants contribute to society you white people shouldnt be get angry

first its not just whites who are angry, AMERICANS are. second all we want is that immigrants take the steps necessary to be legal and for every one to pay taxes, as of right now the biggest welfare state in the USA is Mexico....

My girlfriend and I are in 9th grade. We've been going out for about 8 months. I really enjoy her company, but I can't see myself being with her after this summer. She tells me all the time that she thinks I'm the most incredible guy she's ever met, and I get the feeling that she wants to last a long time. I've been thinking that I need this summer for myself to clear my head and think about what I want for me. When would be the best time to break up with her and how? \n\nAlso, a lot of her friends have become my friends. I fear that next year, if/when I break up with her, they might stay away from me because of what I did. Any advice?

Hey buddy!  There is a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone... make sense?  Sounds like you love her, but may not be in love with her... or simply stated, may not have the romantic feelings that she has for you... it's a tough spot to be in - sorry!  \n\nThere is no easy way to break someone's heart or "let them down"... but you owe it to yourself and her to be honest... and ASAP!  The longer you "pretend" or carry on like you have stronger feelings than what you do, the harder it will be for her... after all, no one likes to live a lie.  Focus on the qualities you like about her and tell her how ya feel.\n\nDon't be surprised if this rocks your relationship as friends... it may even jeopardize any friendship you hope to have (especially if you wait to tell her ya feel).  Trust is a big thing!!!\n\nBest wishes!

can a women with there first love stay in love with them

yes if you have not gotten another love. however, it can be dangerous really if the woman has moved ahead to another love that is current. old firewood catches fire faster and if the first love reciprocates the gesture, hearts may be broken eventually and both of you in future may really be thinking the other is cheating - kind of if she's cheated to be back with me, is she not doing so to me now?


We've been together for a while now, but all we say each day is: hi, how are you, and good. I asked him if it was aomething that I did, but he says it isn't. Should I dump and move on? Because we're not getting anywhere.

Don't really make it too complicated for the both of you. You have to communicate with each other and express how you really feel about one another and If you can't communicate with him then just presume that action speaks louder than words and that if he still continues to ignore you and you can't take it anymore then move on. If you find no reason to stay in the relationship you somewhat both have then don't. That's all.


a gut he love me but he didnt told me he told my friends when i start to love him i discover that he is a silly person and in the time he said he love me he went out in dates with other girls cause cheating in his blood and i start to treat him as a friend i tried to change him but he is jurk enough to be changed....do u think i shoud do any thing ??? i dont even love him now .

Don't date him if that's what you're thinking.  if it's too high maintenance even to be friends with him then don't be friends with him at all.  I had a similar problem.  Just forget him completely if he's too aggravating to even think about.

difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics. briefly describe the differences

Macroeconomics is the economics sub-field of study that considers aggregate behavior, and the study of the sum of individual economic decisions. This is in contrast to microeconomics which is the study of the economic behaviour of individual consumers, firms, and industries.\n\nMacroeconomics can be used to analyze how best to influence government policy goals such as economic growth, price stability, full employment and the attainment of a sustainable balance of payments.\n\nMicroeconomics (literally, very small economics) is a social science which involves study of the economic distribution of production and income among individual consumers, firms, and industries. (Contrast macroeconomics.) It considers individuals both as suppliers of labour and capital and as the ultimate consumers of the final product. It analyzes firms both as suppliers of products and as consumers of labour and capital. It is the study of the behavior of individuals and firms that are using scarce resources. Scarcity refers to the fact that none of us as individuals or companies, can "have it all"—unlimited land, capital, labour, etc.\n\nOne of the goals of the field of microeconomics is to analyze mechanisms and market forces that establish relative prices amongst goods and services and allocate society's resources amongst their many alternative uses.

I have tried searching for info on this for a report. I thought I read this could not happen anymore with cars in garages  because of the catalytic converter. When I search I only find technical stats or info on why not to commit suicide (no intention of that).

It definitely can happen with auto exhaust, as well as improperly vented furnace exhaust. Usually the worst carbon monoxide cases we see in the hospital are from house fires. I recently had a patient who suffered severe brain anoxia due to carbon monoxide poisoning in a house fire. She went back in to save her dog. She didn't make it.


It's my frnds b'day. I hevva crush on her. we r not very good frnds (just hi hello and stuff), I want to wish her by sending an SMS. Help me compose an SMS (160 chars) which is sweet and which might help her grow feeling for me.

Hey if you really like this girl why can't you come up with your own original message. It's not very romantic or cool that you couldn't think up of own SMS message for her.


What do YOU think the Holy Grail was?  Do you think Jesus was married and had children?  Do you think he was even the son of god?  Best supported answer gets picked as best.

Okay, this is the first time of answering, so bear with me. After 15/20 years of research it's time to try to squeeze 40,000 words into a shortened answer. In my opinion the grail (gradale = dish or plate) was an ancient artifact that was inscribed with the prehistoric zodiacal constellations that were in use before the 12-character version that we all know today. I have not found the grail, but I have found the constellations, in a beautifully preserved terrestrial zodiac at the centre of England (BBC Midlands, The Unexplained, 2005).... and with these images it would seem that history will have to be rewritten. Using this constellational layout it is not only possible to read the Babylonian story of King Gilgamesh (3000 BC), but also The Argonautica (Jason and the Golden Fleece) and the 12 Labours of Hercules... and so much more. At some time these constellations were inscribed into a plate, a portable hand-held ancient planisphere, and used by the tribal storyteller to retain links to the dim and distant past. This is a method used before writing existed and even today it is a method used by people when trying to mememorise something like a deck of cards.\n   I'm going to leave out how it travelled from England to ancient Iraq, but it had a lot to do with the Biblical flood of 9600 BC, the dramatic end to the Younger Dryas period.\n   So this storyteller's tool was passed through the generations, from father to son for hundreds of years, and eventually surfaced around the year 0000 (can you see where this is going?).\n   It finished up with a good man, a kind man, a storyteller full of rhetoric and parables, in his spare time he may even have been a carpenter, who knows?\n   When I look at the design I can see the story - the star in the east (Vega), St. John the Baptist (rear of a centaur, trust me on that one), the 3 wise men from the east (the limbs of the scorpion) and their different way home, Mary laying the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes in a manger (watermaiden and hunting dogs), Salome dancing with a veil, etc, etc. .... and eventually the crucifixion scene (fire-breathing dragon) - a thief on the left and right, a crown of thorns, a cut/gash in the ribs, a sign above his head and even the thunder clouds that gathered at the end. It's all there in pictures.\n   Back to the grail - this is why the artifact was hidden and will probably never be found - it is far too dangerous. It shows that the gospels are really just a storyteller's tale.\n  Oh, back to your original question, yep, the brilliant Da Vinci was trying to tell us that Jesus was married to Mary, just look at the huge arrow pointing down at them holding hands.


Has anyone noticed if the length of their cycle is shorter when closer to the equator, and longer when further away???

I've never found that, but I have found that at Daylight Savings Time, it will change.  It doesn't even sound plausible, but it always works like that. I'm really not sure why, but my mom and best friend have the same problem.  Who knows.


my body hurt every day im taking all kind of pill nothing will help it please help me.

Chondrotin and msm are naturally found in our cartilage, as we age or if you have arthritis they decrease. My friend uses a skin gel and a drinking gel for his arthritis that contain these, he says since he has been taking them he has had relief from his symptoms and is on less pain killers.\n\n He says his general health and mobility have increased since starting this natural medicine 6 weeks ago. \nHe drinks the gel twice a day and rubs the cream into the problem areas. \n\nIf you contact foreverlivingdelicious@yahoo.co.uk they will be able to help as they are the distributors.


I'm looking for government grants for automotive bill payments. Any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated. Thanks y'all.

Forget about buying Lesko's book. You can get the information for FREE\n\nYou 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.\n\nUnfortunately for you, there are NO FEDERAL grants for automotive bill payments. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate (especially Lesko), federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business or for personal financial gain such as automotive bill payments. \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\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

i had a dream that me and my friend killed all of our friends and co workers(we work together) and we were laughing and then all of a sudden my friend looked sad, and i asked what was wrong and she said "we're gonna get caught" what does that mean?>

There is a part of yourself (a characteristic or trait) that you don't like and wanted to get rid of (kill). The co-workers are just symbolic of that part of you. Usually dreams aren't literal, you have to look at hidden meanings.\n\nYou might also be feeling guilty about something.


every now and then I get something on my computer about blog. today some one is starting a blog.\nIs it blog a site ?

A Blog is like an online journal - to where you can write your daily happenings and ramblings and such. For example Xanga, and myspace.


I am a single dad and need to know why all the women I have tried to date think that they should be first in my life when I think my kids should come first. I want to be happy but it is more important, to me at least, that my children are happy, But when I tell a woman that my kids come first they dump me. I am a very loving person and treat women with the utmost respect and have enough love for my kids and a woman, but my responsibility is to my kids. Does anyone have any advice. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's two different types of love, my friend.\n\nYour children don't necessarily come first -- They just need and deserve "you" for all of their life.. not just now but forever.\n   You, on the other hand, need and deserve, to find happiness also.\n   This really isn't so much (about the other woman)  OR the children wanting to be "first", is it?    \n    \n    You don't really appear to be ready for a lasting relationship with another adult.   And that's ok.  Maybe, now is the time to just enjoy "dates" without any commitment.  \n\n    If you are, in fact, the type of person that you say that you are, you will first take care of yourself, health and finance wise.   You will continue to always be there for your children, and you will (in time) should you choose, find another individual that shares your interests, \nand respects your opinions.   \n\n     We have in our hearts the ability to love in many different ways.. our love for parents, our mate, our children, our friends, and even our pets, are all different types of love.   We don't "run out" of love, or use it all up.\n\n    These "dates" you refer to... are being selfish, when in fact, should see you as the good person you are, caring for your children.   But if you are starting relationships and yet, giving the impression that they won't last.. what do you expect, but to be left alone..\n\n     I can't stress enough that I respect you for your question --- but I "read" more inbetween the lines... than you actually wrote ---  You are the one that is not ready.\n\n    It's sort of like why they say:  \n"If you and your child is flying and the plane loses cabin pressure --- YOU should use the oxygen first..."  the reason is so that YOU can take care of your child.. \n\n    So -- be there for them.. now and always.. AND when you are ready, find someone to share your life with, your children will grow up with a father that loves them, and will love the person that loves (them) and their father.\n\n   They will want YOU to be happy, also.


Men and women have different physical characteristics, whether they are in the military or not.  You might want to ask your parents about this.


For those who notice it,Do you notice that somewhere between the first Godfather movies,Dog Day Afternoon,And the later movies,Scarface,Scent of a Woman,that there's a change in Al Pacino's voice? It became rougher..What's the story behind that?

I find that not only his voice has changed, but his style as well.  And this seemed to happen at about the same time which would be circa Scarface.  I dunno.  His choice of characters have been the rough n' tumble type for a while now (Scarface, Heat, The Rookie, Glen Garry Glenross, The Devil's Advocate) so maybe he matched his voice with the characters or he is choosing those characters for personal reasons and he moves toward that voice.  I don't know, he rarely gives interviews so I don't know what he sounds like outside of a movie.


Emre, currently plays for Newcastle United in England, he transferred from Inter Milan this season. What do you think of him about the way he plays?

He's been injured alot.. and then benched alot.. Haven't had a chance to watch him with Newcastle, but that guy has pure talent. It's obvious with the national team and when I saw him with Inter. He's ace!

My grandfather is in the hospital.  Has internal bleeding, only they dont know from where yet!  He's not doing too good! yesterday the put 2 pints of blood in him and today another 2.  They r running a bunch of test to try and figure out what's goin on?  Any one in medical that can let me know what could possibly cause this!  Also his stool is black and tarry, are these signs that he could have colon cancer?  and if so why havent they ran these tests a while back when these symptoms first occured?

Colon cancer is a definite possibility.  They should have checked a colonoscopy when he first reported these symptoms, after he tested positive for blood in his stool.\n\nMore than half of colon cancers are curable, if that is what he has, so don't panic if that's what it is.  he might also have a polyp or something else bleeding in his gut.


DO any of you ladies find yourself going on one first date after the other, puting time and effort into your appearance and so only to never get a second date?  I am completely honest upfront with guys so I know I didn't drop any bombs like they sometimes do with me (they forget to mention being married 3 times and so on).  We seem to have a good time and I focus on them instead of me and then they bring me home and say they enjoyed meeting me.  I email them and then I never hear from them.  It is getting to be a bore.

maby you should not ask so much about their family they may be thinking your trying to become to famillar to fast just keep on gentral topics maby you are choosing the wrong sort of guy give the type of guy that is a little nerdy a chance you might be suprised  luck flaim

I already have flash macromedia stuido 8 and I want to learn but its very hard it seem to be gear toward making single movies. I want to make a company website. I would like to have flash in it. I know I probably need to learn action script but I want to learn more website specific stuff can someone give me a good manual or training book or program to make this happen. And don't say swish I want to learn not be a noob with a proggie. thx.

I found this guy on eBay and he sells a ton of total training DVDs. I recently bought Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 total training and Macromedia Flash 8 total training DVDs and they are great. The Flash 8 DVD comes with 3 DVDs and the guy is currently selling them for about $1.73 and $19.95 for shipping. He is in UK, but the DVDs are work great.


People want kindness at any cost, however, if what happened to people was only ever what made them most happy, then we never really learn anything. When we don't get our way, we like to put blame somewhere. For many people that place they find to put the blame is in God's lap. "God did this to me", "How can a loving God let this happen?"  are common questions I hear. We don't really want a Father in heaven as much as we want a "benevolent grandfather" who just wants to make us happy.

I believe you are very right in alot of new or unfed Christian hearts. We get complacent and don't read The Bible and get refreshed on what EVERY follower of God had to go through! Paul had the thorn in his side, Stephen got killed, all were mocked! Look at poor Job, what a price to pay! When we really start to follow The Good Shepherd's voice just know that He's going to lead you into "The valley of the shadow of death" at some point in your life to test your faith in Him(with good right!). Good question and point to make, friend! I hope that helps you. God bless.


please please tell me all my friend think i like him

i'm in the same situation i like to stare at a girl but when i talk to her is sooooo akward, we've nothing to talk about but i like to stare at her cos she's so pretty so yeah you maybe like this guy & you get nervous so that's why you dont talk to him so well


You learned that S waves are stopped by liquids. Verify this for yourself and give a reason for what you see.\n\nFill up your tub with about 3 inches of water and drop a light object into the water. Watch what happens to the ripples (waves) that form. Describe what you see and try to come up with an explanation of why it happens.\nPlease explain why are S waves stopped by liquids

"S-waves" are shear waves, wheras "P-waves" are sort of push-waves (essentially).  So because fluids are umm... fluids, you can't shear them.  Shearing is when you deform something by applying unequal stresses from three dimensions.  With a fluid, such a stress would make no difference, because fluids cannot be deformed, they meerly move.  This is why an S-wave that hits a fluid will only be propigated as a P-wave!  Weee!


mp-notifier turns on and plays a video message whenever I turn on the internet explorer and I have to use the cntrl alt delete feature to turn off the application.

Try downloading the Windows Installer Clean Up utility from this website:  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301\n\nIt gets rid of everything associated with the program that add/remove programs misses.


Not trying to be rude but I've been asked out 12 times in 2 days.. what is the deal?? Love the compliments and don't mind chatting with you, but why rush into asking someone you don't know, and is married out?

Lol - read the silly offers & then just delete them\n\nI asked a random IMer today what possess these guys to just start IMing a person who they don't know...\n\nHe said that it's like fishing men just throw out a net & hopefully they'll catch something...\n\nFor some reason he didn't group himself in with Losers, Psychos or Guys without a Life... hhmm wonder why that was\n\nOne pice of advice is to take your photo off of your profile & use an avatar instead, then you won't be bothered by these losers who can't get a date in real life & so therefore hope to get one online


will arnold schwarzennegger run for the highest office in the world? i know he is a truly wonderful actor and the governor of california,but not being a natural citizen of USA an with a puffed up poor english acccent,do you think he deserves the right to stand for US presidentship???

You must be a naturally born citizen to be president. Thus there is no way save a constitutional amendment that Gov. schwarzennegger can become president.\n\nUS Constitution, Article II, Section 1\n\nNo person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.


I was attending mount san antonio college in walnut, california but I failed some classes already. I think this is due to my lack of energy and motivation and lost interest in activities and very poor focus. What can I do to succeed in nursing program? I'm trying to get a bachelor's in nurse but my dream seems very distant and even more distant as time goes by. I talked to my doctor about this and he had no answer. please if you have any long suggestions or if you know of mental illness please email me at orangejeremiah@yahoo.com thank you

I'm surprised that your doctor can't provide any answers. Is this a your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist? Your primary care doc may not have the best information, but if it's your psychiatrist, geez... \n\nGo back and get more specific. Ask for options or reading material. Do a Web search (www.webmd.com is a good place to start), and get your own information. Sometimes you have to take charge of your own care. \n\nYou also should ask the school about adaptive teaching for you. This is a disability and they can make accommodations. My son has ADHD and needs extra time to complete papers becuase he has trouble focusing. He also takes his exams with a headphone playing classical music. It helps keep him from getting distracted by other things in the classroom. \n\nGood luck, and I wish I could offer more insight. I know there are medications for this, but you already may be taking them. One key is to take them all the time. People with bi-polar disorder tend to drop the meds when they're in the "good mood" phase.


My computer is a Windows XP- PRO SP2. My Dvd/CD Writer worked just fine until suddenly it began damaging RW media when finishing the writing. With non-rw media it works fine. Anybody got an idea?

- Have you checked if you need a firmware update?\n- Bad quality media? Did it happen with more than one type? Did it happen with quality discs such as Verbatim?\n- Are you trying to use a burning speed that is not compatible with the writer?\n\nIf you have checked all this to no avail, maybe the write/read unit (the laser) of your writer is going loco, and it may need repair. Suggest that you send a Nero logfile to your PC´s or drive´s support, they should be able to tell you what´s wrong with it.


I'm writing a hypothetical opinion paper and an assignment we had was to see what other people's opinions were on our topic.  Once again this isn't serious but i still would like some answers.

Nope.  We have enough problems already without taking on those of the rest of the world too.


i think my cousin is paranoid, he hardly leaves the house and when he does and were out on the street he thinks that someones going to hurt or rob him..does he need medication or anything?

He needs to go to his family physician and talk about how he feels.  The phyiscian will refer him to a specialist if needed.


asthma is a disease but what other diseases are produced  from asthma.

no, but it can aggravate them. For example, i have had pneumonia twice because my lungs are weak and prone to that, also I frequently get bronchitis.


Food delivery, dry cleaning pick up, Taxi service or can you think of any that I haven't mentioned. please state in your answers how much you would pay for the service you chose and why you chose that service thanks far your feedback. also I would appreciate any advice from anyone with a business simular to these

I would choose to order breakfast because I have to have coffee in the morning when I get up and some breakfast to go with it and if they can bring the coffee on time then I would tip them $8.00 bucks.


I need really cool facts for a friend who all ready "know's it all" ;) Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ask your friend if he knows about "dark matter". \n\nAlmost all the astronomers and most of the physiscists believe nowadays that only 4% of the Universe is made of "normal matter", that is made of neutrons, protons, electrons, photosn, etc (all the aprticles contained in the standard model of Particle Physics). The rest of the Universe is believed to be made of something whose nature is still not known, 26% of this "something" is called dark matter, the name is because it doesn't interact via electromagnetism, therefore, it can not produce, or be affected by light of any frecuency, it is then dark in the sense that no instrument based on light can detect it. The presence of dark matter however affects massive bodies by its gravitational influence, in the last decades its existence has been inferred in objects of very large size, like galaxies and cluster of galaxies, there are many indirect observations that sustain the existence of dark matter, the most stronger is probably the observed rotation curves fo galaxies, which doesn't match the expectations if we account only the visible ("normal") matter.\n\nCandidates for being the components of dark matter are beyond the Standard Model of Particles, going for supersymmetry to more exotic stuff like branes and extra dimmensions. It is a very interesting fields and many projects are currently being carried pout to discover it directly or know more about its nature indirectly.\n\nThe remaininf 70% of the Universe is even a bigger mistery, it is called "dark energy". It differs of dark amtter because contrary to it, it doesn't produce an atraction like the gravitational force, but a repulsion in the large scale Universe, so it is not the same as dark matter, and of course, not the same as normal matter, it is something else, there are theories that try to describe it, but we are still in the beggining of discovering what it is.

I wanna rip his clothes and make out with him really bad,but he is a shy virgin,and last time we were talking he got erect but pretended not ,and said he wants to be alone,\nwe are both over 20 and I dont know what to do?

Did it ever occur to you that there is nothing wrong?  There are some guys who want to be virgins until married.  Why should that be an issue?  A guy has the right to say no and to wait until marriage.  Some guys don't believe in a double standard...they want a virgin so they will also remain virginal.


I have these two friends that always fight and I usually get put in the middle of it. What do I tell them? And what should I do when they start fighting?

this piano was given to me. has very nice carving.would like to sell but have no idea what to sell it for.

Have an apraiser come out and take a look at it.  I know that is probably not the answer that you were looking for, but I wouldn't trust someone who has not seen it to know what it's worth.


I've seen (confirmed on the news) UFO's.  I don't think these crafts were of this earth.

I do believe in them as if they didn't exist, why would NASA do so much research trying to find other forms of life in the Solar System

Scaled SAT scores and corresponding percentiles?\nCan I have a list that shows the various scaled SAT scores and their roughly corresponding percentiles? All info for new SAT only, please? Thanks!

You should be able to find this at the SAT reporting website CollegeBoard National Reports.  They like to brag.  I am sure you should be able to get up to date info.  I found a link to the archives.  I hope this helps.


I need a nice shiny necklace and dont want to pay big $ (I have no idea where a guy would even buy this kinda of accesory, except a jewelry store, but they are too darn expensive)

if you wanna wear the fake stuff then wear it. just don't try to play it off as real. try the area swap meet (flea market), a pawn shop, or estate sales. i get great stuff at estate sales and i've even found the real stuff. \ni live in a border city so it is very easy to get some great stuff at a great price. don't buy the first one you see. \nyou might even look for the neighborhood crack house. someone on drugs is willing to sell great stuff real cheap for his next fix. ok, maybe that's not right but it happens.


What can I do with a degree in foreign language such as Russian or Chinese? Do u think I would get far in law school with such a degree?

Chinese... you learn Chinese, and you'll have a tremendous advantage in business. You learn Chinese and you can ask for $100K -150K salaries. Can't say that for the Russian.  If you were to learn one of those two languages, you would find a good home in the American military, FBI, CIA, or State department, though you would have some competition. Less so, if you learned Arabic or Persian. Only Chinese, however, will give you advantage in both the public and private sectors. As for the law degree.... Well, negotiating or disputing Chinese contracts is like playing Monday morning quarterback. It's all academic. You ain't gonna walk in and tell a Chinese factory or person that they violated any kind of agreement. The government or Chinese government doesn't respect international business etiquette and law like nations of the free world do.\n\nBut, good luck. Learning Chinese ain't like learnin' Spanish. Compared to Chinese, Spanish and English might as well be the same language. Russian grammar is very difficult, but at least you can get your fingers around it. The Chinese really don't have complicated grammar, but if you can't here those tones... forget it. And if you do learn Chinese, you need to play the "dumb American" occasionally and not let them know that you can speak it. They all know English, but where Chinese will give you an advantage is that it will allow you to move freely within the country and figure out what they're not telling you.\n\nI'm in the import business, and we have learned to accept the fact that the Chinese lie to your face. They will raise their price when they've agreed to hold it for a year. They will ALWAYS ship a month late. It's a real problem.\n\nAnd Russian? I would learn another language first.


I was on here early this morning and I found a ? with Jingle Bells played forward then backwards. The backwards version had a "surprise". Who posted the ? and where can I find it again?

Geez don't people have anything better to do than hide satan messages in good o' USA songs?\nCNN reported that the tradional song Jingle Bells has lyrics that can faintly be heard if played backwards...now I am wondering why anyone \nwould play any song backwards, let along a song that is decades old..\nanyways, here is the forward and then backward version, I didnt hear it played backwards until I turned the speakers up a tad , but as you'll discover it comes out clear as a bell...\nheres the link:\n\nhttp://media.spikedhumor.com/8944/Jingle_Bells_Reversed.swf\n the ? was asked 6 months ago, you can search it on here too

Anybody have really annoying people in their classes? I have this girl in my abnormal psychology -perfect class for this- she is 30 married (happily she says) 3 kids and all she does for the 2 hrs we have class is incessivly talk about her purple dildo and flirt with these little 20 yr old guys.\nI find it sickning to hear her talk about her fricken purple dildo....YUCK!!!!! Should I be mean? I so want to tell her off. What do U think?

Purple what? That sounds kind of gross... Just move away from her and sit somewhere else, but if you must, then tell her off. You're paying to sit there to learn, not to listen to her talk about her purple whatever.

This may take time, but please answer...\n\nJack has 7 sons, and each of his sons has 2 sisters and 3 grandsons, and each sister has 2 grandsons, and each grandson has 2 sisters.  How many children and grandchildren does Jack have?

You didn't mention how many children Jack's children had, so I can't tell you how many grandchildren he had. You just mentioned how many grandchildren jack's children had. I think I can tell you how many great grandchildren he had though.\n\n\nJack has 9 children\n7 sons & 2 daughters\n\n\n\neach son has 3 grandsons = 7x3 = 21\neach sister has 2 grandsons = 2x2 = 4\n\n25 great grandsons\n\ntotal of 25  great grandsons for Jack\n\neach grandson has 2 sisters = 9x2 = 18\n\n25 + 18 = 43 great grandchildren for Jack \n\nI think, lol, but it's 2:30 in the morning and I don't guarantee my brain is still awake! =-)\n\n\n\neach grandson has 2 sisters


Rate it 1 through 10:\n\nC: J. Posada\n1B: D. Ortiz\n2B: C. Utley\n3B: A. Rodriguez\nSS: D. Jeter\nOF: H. Matsui\nOF: K. Griffey Jr.\nOF: B. Giles\nSP: J. Santana\nSP: J. Beckett\nSP: R. Johnson\nSP: B. Colon\nRP: M. Rivera\n\nTell me what you think.

I would give your team an 8.  Posada's not a top tier catcher anymore. Ortiz and A-Rod will put up monster numbers, Utley puts up great numbers for 2B, Jeter puts up some of the best stats for a SS, Matsui is a keeper, Griffey is questionable because of his injury problems, Giles numbers have been down in recent years, Santana is a dominant pitcher with little run support, Beckett's WHIP and ERA will jump a little going into the AL, Johnson will have solid numbers, Colon is questionable, and Rivera is still great.  You seem to be lacking in stolen bases, you might trade Colon for a pitcher with better WHIP and ERA, and you need another RP.


an 80cm long, 1mm diameter steel guitar string must be tightened to a tension of 2000N . how much is the string stretche????\ni don't know if im using the right equation.....\nchange in length = force * initial length/ area * Y (youngs modulus) - but i don't know the value for y so how do i work it out???

looks to me like that is the correct equation to use.
