Not all are related to same crime. It is so easy here in Michigan to put people in prison, scared the ones outside world. They then brand all the same. I know alot of offenders but they ware the worst they did violate young children. Where I know a few the there was a different circumstances girl over 14 years of age and she was willing. her mother was allowing it to happen. This is a very long story but will stop here.

She's right...no matter what the facts of a given case are, anyone labeled a "Sex Offender" gets painted with the same broad brush. All molesters, predators and actual rapists are sex offenders, but not all sex offenders are monsters... you gotta look at the actual "crime", not the label.\nIf the male in this case was over 18, then as far as I'm concerned the mother should ALSO be charged in this case, but it happens a lot that nothing horrible actually took place... There are thousands of cases where the "Offender" is the poor high school senior dating a sophmore,the 19 year old schmuck who lost his head over girl 2 months from the age of consent or the guy who got in a world of trouble over some experienced little hottie who lied about her age, it happens more than you might think that the only thing a guy did wrong was not ask for identification or make the mistake of turning 18 before his high school sweetheart turned 16. And then there is the married couple who gets nailed for "Lewd and Lascivious Conduct" because they were busted by a park ranger fooling around on a camping trip, 8 miles in, and a mile off the trail....in Texas, a person can be charged with a sexual offense for purchasing or owning certain, commonplace "adult toys"


Im a single mom and need to make good money without workign 2 jobs....so i was wondering if anyone knew of any good ones in OHIO???

I don't know what you like to do. But I can suggest that you take a small risk by leaving one of your jobs to free quality time and find a job that pays better AND you get to enjoy what you do. it's about how much effort and quality time you're willing to put into finding a 'good job'. I've been a high-tech industry manager at different levels for the past 13 years so take it from  me.. I will hire people who I believe invested time and efforts to prepare for the interview.. A final advice, there is no such thing as a great company,  it's what you want your job or career to be and taking some risks in your life. Hope this helps


celebrities associated with animal killing and conservation

Recently Salman Khan, Saif Khan, Neelam etc were in the news for killing an endangered animal. Also, Mansoor ali Khan was associated with killing of some animal.\n\nWhile, Pamela Anderson, Brigitte Bardot and Sir Paul McCartney have made headlines in recent weeks speaking out against Canada’s seal hunt. Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger and Sean Penn too are in the animal conservation list.


some of my friends say the name sounds like a gigalo service.....but its part of my name (Bradley Loveland - LoveTech)...anyway... please be honest....go to  LoveTechOnline.com

I hate to say it, but your friends are right. The name of a company is part of the overall branding and the first thing I thought was, "It sounds like an online dating service".  It needs to go.\n\nI agree with the comment above on the website.  It seems v. busy and my eye can't focus on the information.  Make the background simple, but it doesn't have to be white.\n\nTry and minimize on the scrolling and information on the website.  You should try and hyperlink the information to a pop-up window. Especially on the services page. If you do link the information then it is easier for the client to find the information that they need without having to scroll and search for it.\n\nYou're logo should be bigger than your computer icon at the top of the page. You want them to remember the name of the company rather than the computer monitor.\n\nPersonally, I don't care for the double toolbar (one along the left and one along the top) I think of a way to consolidate them, again, it looks busy. I actually didn't notice the toolbar along the top until i started scanning the page. \n\nThink about what makes your tech company different than the other ones. What makes you special? Why would I pick your company over another? What services do you offer that your competitors don't?


There is the idea that counts; we all be able to see "how common are "our common things" in our minds.

We are all human, we all have the same human nature.


ok, theres this guy. and weve both kinda been liking each other for a while but last night he asked me if i liked him, and i said yes. then he said he likes me too. should i continue flirting? any other tips, to make things go on a little faster?

HA! THAT IS SO FUNNY WHAT THE FIRST PERSON SAID!! I CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH........HAHA!


I know that any exercise is better than sitting around all day, but I really want to lose as much fat as is possible without being unhealthy.  Is swimming an effective way to burn fat off my body?

Swimming is an excellent way to lose fat and very low impact. Just remember that in order to lose weight, you must stay in the heart rate zone (135-160) for a good and constant period of time, like 20-30 minutes each time. Work up to it if you can't swim for 30 minutes straight.


Give me a good answer.  Give me why you like them or why you dont.

USA should stay as long as they need to until they straighten out the country of Iraq.

I think it's admirable to bring democracy to Iraq, but I feel like the top priority should be the problems we face here in America.

i had a lump in my left breast got it examined and the doctor told it is not cancer but a cyst.the doctor told that it is"FNAC of cystic lesion,left braest cystis lesion suggesting SUBCUTANEOUS CYST likely to be EPIDERMOID CYST"they told it had anucleated squamous cells.they gave me some tablets and after a month the cyst dissappeared but now after 6 months again i have got the same cyst like thing in the same exact position.can anyone pls help me and tell me what exactly is this.

Yes I know what Subcutaneous mean it means that it is between in the dermal layer of tissue above the layer of muscle tissue. This is some thing you my have on going all your life it is one of those odd things the human body can do and you just my have a spot in your body that over produces a specific type of cell you my have to repeatedly treat it the same why or you can get a second opinion which is always good


Catching my 12 year old brother having phone sex...\nHe called a hotline and they actually talked to him and toyed with his foolishly young mind..


My mother-in-law had poor eyesight from diabetes and was starting to show signs of dementia. She changed her will only a few months before her death to favor the son that she lived with. Even though she moved in with him originally to care for his daughters when he and his wife divorced, she mentioned shortly before she died how fortunate she felt she was that he allowed her to live with him. It was like she forgot that she was doing him a favor to begin with. She gave up her golden years to be his housekeeper and nanny, but now she felt gratitude to be allowed to live with him. Her mother had Alzheimer's and it sounds like she had the beginnings of it, but how do you prove something like that, unless it was documented by a doctor (which we don't know).

It's pretty difficult, I'd imagine. A relative of mine had Alzheimer's. She gave her daughter power of attorney but she had a will leaving her home to her grandchildren. The daughter used her power of attorney to transfer the house into her own name so when her mother died, she didn't own the house and therefore her kids couldn't inherit it.\nAnd yes, she disinherited her own children. \nHer kids didn't fight it. A long time ago, I was in her will, but I was cut out when she had her grandchildren.  I have no resentment over that, but if I had still been in her will I would have fought it. And probably lost.\nIt's frustrating not to get something you think is coming to you.  Probably call an estate lawyer. \nBut with no diagnosis of Alzheimer's, I'm not sure you'd get anywhere. But worth a try.


This is a scene from a possible music video that I have a memory of but cant get find any information on, even the details Ive described could be wrong.\n\nIf anyone knows the name of the song or can provide a link to screenshots or the clip it would be appreciated.

There was never a video clip of Paul surrounded by roses, but there was a fairly famous photo session from 1980 (Unmasked era) that featured him in various poses in a white room with rose petals all around him.  It's possible a couple of those photos were incorporated into a film clip on VH1 or some other program that uses photographs mixed with videos/interviews, but no, there was never any actual film footage or scene like that.


I have heard it several ways.  that if you are super intelligent, you can't be hypnotized.  that if you are too dumb, you can't be hypnotized.  What is the truth?  Suppose you are perfectly willing to be hypnotized, but nothing happens?  What does this tell me?

Hypnosis works the best on people who have more ability to dissociate, that is, become detached from their surroundings. Both involve altered states of consciousness and have nothing to do with intelligence. Everyone has the ability to dissociate, but some people have more of the ability, perhaps because they have had more cause to become detached during their lives. Looking at it from a psychological angle, I would say your hypnotisability would have the most to do with your life experiences and consequently the way you react emotionally to different situations. No two people ever have the same experiences and view things in the same way, regardless of IQ.\n\nEdit: To put it more simply, daydreamers (who could be seen as having a "weaker" grip on reality) would likely be easier to hypnotise than more practical people.\n\nOr another way to classify the two groups (more hypnotisable versus less hypnotisable), thin boundary personalities versus thick boundary personalities, the terms being used in relation to dreams and susceptibility to nightmares:\n\n"What differentiates the the two boundary types is a separation between mental process, thoughts and functions. Those with thin boundary type tend to often merge thought with feeling, have a difficulty with focusing on one thing at a time, daydream or fantasize, experience forms of synaethesia, have more fluid sense of self and tend to "merge" more with those who are close to them. Those with thick boundaried personalities have much more separation between what is real and what is imaginary. They tend to have a distinct focus on one thing at a time, differentiate between thoughts and feelings, real and fantasy, self and others, lack strong memories from childhood, well organized and has a strong sense of self."\n\nAgain, nothing to do with intellect, more to do with psychological makeup and emotions.


My daughter cought head lice I guess from some kids at school and we were wondering if there is anything we may have at home to get rid of them. We tried rubbing alcohol but it didnt work. we also heard karosine but she doesnt want to use that.


this powder is soft pinkesh,used for whitening the skin.mixed with a lotion. dont know were it comes from, maybe a grinded from a tree bark, or even a fruit, or coconut. very effective. all u do is mix in lotion or cream and apply. is disolved into the skin. it whitens the skin tremendously. no side effect. any idea what its called\n\nkind regards\nsout africa

If I am making 100,000 now and in 2036, 30 years from now someone doing the same job with the same experience making 180,000 is that going to be consistent with projected inflation. More or less.

Some of King's hand written speeches including "I Have A Dream" are on display in Atlanta.\n\nAs a footnote,and contrary to popular belief,King made this speech numerous times.


Guys might wear makeup for all kinds of reasons, that might have nothing to do with their being gay.  Some guys are transvestites, dressing up like women but still being straight men.  Some men want to be women, and they are transsexuals.  There's a whole host of transgendered men who are straight but have whatever alternative gender (not sexual) identities who like to wear makeup for whatever reason.  Some men just love David Bowie, some men are just fashionable and like to look cool, none of this makes them gay.  Of course, some gay men do wear makeup, and they might be fashionable, or they might be drag queens.  \nBut on to your question of why?  It has actually nothing to do with chromosomes, it's just because it's the way they are, it's what they like, and it makes them happy.


they are highly intellengent and have the most complex brain of all invertebrates.

You are clearly referring to the Class Cephalopoda (squids, octopi, etc.).  It is in the Phylum Mollusca.  Most molluscs, however, have moderate to poor eyesight relative to arthropods and cephalopods (snails and clams are molluscs) so saying the Phylum Mollusca is the correct choice is a bit off.

I'm a solid Christian that just came across this. Looks as long as the Bible, or longer. But the index looks worth investigating. My eye's aren't as good anymore though so long reading isn't easy, so I thought I might ask for insight here first. Looking for Best overall review, and Christian opinion.

Great book. Inspired by angels. Mostly true. Somewhat corrupted like every other book. But, I would say it's one of the best sources of gnosis the world has today. Christians don't like it because it opposes their doctrines. But this is only because they have difficulty comprehending large numbers and their highest concept of god is a man with a beard on a throne. I embrace it. Wonderfully heretical.


Given the following Golf Scores: 102, 88, 100, 100, 99, 67, 100, 100, 98, 77, 99, 88 \n\nWhat Percentage of the scores are within three standard deviations of the mean? Compare your answer to that predicted by Chebyshev's Theorem? \n\nWith the mean at 93.16667 and the Standard Deviation at 10.63

93.16667 =- 3*10.63 \n61.28 to 105.04, so all of the values fit in this range.\n\nThe previous answerers have been wrong about Chebyshev Inequality.  According to that, there should be 1-(1/k)^2 values within k standard deviations of the mean.  So, according to the theorem, there should be 1-(1/3)^2 = 8/9 = 88.89% within 3 SD's of the mean.

I was told this morning Ive got a bad bone spur on my foot and may require surgery down the road, but Im not sure how I got it or what it is exactly.

Bone spurs, also known as osteophytes, are bony projections that form along joints. Bone spurs form due to the body's increase of a damaged (usually due to arthritis) joint's surface area in a futile attempt to improve weight distribution. However, they usually limit joint movement and typically cause pain.\n\nBone spurs form naturally on the spine as a person ages and are a sign of degeneration in the spine. In this case the spurs are not the source of back pains, but instead a common symptom of the problem.\n\nI had one in my shoulder once that made movement very painful. I found that I'd do anything to be relieved of the problem. My Dr had prescribed steroids and I took them orally... they didn't seem to work and the pain continued. The doctor later prescribe Buspur. I didn't know what it was until later. I guess the Dr thought I was getting too impatient. It took about six months and two weeks of steroids for the spur to go away on its own. I'm glad I didn't have to have surgery. The Buspur is still in my cabinet some ten years later. But you need to have a doctor check out the spur, it could be tearing important tissue, or doing other damage. You don't want it to damage the cartilage in a joint or rub a nerve the wrong way \n\n\nSpurs can also appear on the feet, either along toes or the heel.

This site has an insurance news section - http://www.findlocalinsurance.com\nIt seems like everyday there is an article about insurance fraud.


There is neither a survey on the 40 nor a meets and bounds description on the property.

All GPS can tell you is your location on the earth. GPS cannot tell you where your property corners are, unless you already know the coordinates of those property corners. Your GPS unit does not know where your property corners are until you provide it with the information it needs. \n\nIf you knew the coordinates, which could be either latitude and longitude that mappers use, or state plane coordinates that surveyors use, then you could use GPS to guide you to the corner locations. But since you do not know where the corners are, you have no way of entering the required data into the GPS unit. \n\nYou not only need to get a professional surveyor to survey your property, you also need to tell the surveyor that you need him to provide you with the state plane coordinates of those points, so you can enter them into your GPS unit, then you will be able to find them yourself in the future.


My boyfriend and I will be together five years next month, what could i do to make him want me more?

Stop taking each other for granted.  Say thank you more.  Notice each other more.  Candle-lit dinner.  Weekend away.  Picnic in the park.  Flowers.  Bath together.  \n\nAll this helps things to go well, but you can't make him want you more.


if you like them the tell me\nwhat is your fav. song, album, and video.

anders kinda sold out with the sining. i love the first 2 albums..the og s**t. their later stuff was ok, up to about reroute to remain..but even that album was really soft and not their swedish death metal roots..but there was like 3-4 songs on there i liked. But it still doesn't beat the original In Flames which i use to love.

I know that you aren't allowed to have a laser weapon for blinding the enemy, but I also know that lasers are used in all kinds of situations.

Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons (Protocol IV to the 1980 Convention), 13 October 1995\n\nThe rule is that you cannot use a laser for the sole purpose of causing permanent blindness in an enemy.  Lasers used for other purposes (such as weapons guidance) are allowed even if they may have an incidental effect of causing this type of injury.  (Somebody who is about to get hit by a 500 pound bomb will not be blind for very long.)


if your too nice and honest, than your a pushover, but if your too firm then your not nice and undertstanding enough...if you give her space and trust her, then your seemingly being too easy and its no challenge to her...but if your always want to know where she is then, your being too possesive and she wants space, and either way she may cheat on you.....go figure

do everything in moderation...let your girl know what you want & what you feel..it's music to our ears...trust & communication is vital...we want men who are firm and can be as sweet as Romeo the next...and who regards our needs as well...be a friend like the way you care with your best buddies...and be a good lover too who thinks about more what excites her rather than jumping onto her just to get it done.


It seems that every time a governor or mayor or city official is running, their campaign people are not allowed to say which party they represent - democrat or republican. It's my policy to not vote for dishonest people. What are your ideas on this?

Knowing there affiliation will help you know a little more about there agenda.\n\nI would hate to know I voted for a Republican.


Well me and my ex have been broken up for about a year now.  In the beggining I couldnt get her out of my head cause I still liked her. There were times where she wanted me back and the next day she would hate me. But I could never really let her go. Now I know shes been around after we broke up but I havent even really talked to a girl since. I guess what I'm trying to say is whenever I do talk to her she always talks about her new bf and she goes and tells me that she wants to be friends with me. but for me it sucks.

Dude if it hurts you to talk to her than I would avoid her. I went through a similar situation years ago. When you're with someone for a while and you develop strong feelings, it's hard to just get rid of those feelings. So if talking to her brings back any of those feelings you should avoid her.\n\nThere are plenty of other women out there man. Get out, do things you enjoy doing and soon those feelings will disappear. Hang in there bro. That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger!


what was the difference they made for you?

Yes I have.  And so should you if that is the case.\nThey tought me that not everything is easy in life and you must work for a goal without giving up or wavering off the path to get that goal.


he is in collage and he cheated on me once but we worked it out and we are still together and all i wanna know is is this relationship between us going to work and is he going to be a good father to his daughter that is due june 15

there is no way anybody here can answer that for you, the fact that you feel the need to ask is not a good sign though.  make sure you can take care of yourself and your baby on your own in case it doesn't though, its the best way to protect yourself against the possibility that it won't and you are now responsible for another life.  why are you having a child with someone you have so many doubts about?


Brad Paisley? Alan Jackson? Toby Keith? Keith Urban? Rascal Flatts? *I love country too. There's too many good ones to pick a favorite though. And the women of country are great too! Isn't Gary Allen from California like me? Come on out!


Nero burn button will not light up when i am set to burn dvd files . also dvd  shrink wont go to burn can any one help ?

You may like to check 'My Computer' to see if your Dvd-R/rw+/- drive is registering?\n\nAlso, check to see if you have a program controlling the drive, I.e: 'InCd' or another.\n\nAfter this, check your Nero settings, and try burning one or two songs to a cd (Standard Audio format, not Mp3 or anything like that!)\n\nIf this doesn't work, then check your 'Device Manager' for your DVD/CD-ROM drive's status, you can do this by right-clicking 'My Computer', then selecting 'Properties', then 'Hardware', then 'Device Manager', and finally, 'DVD/CD-ROM drives'. Right click the drive, and select it's 'properties' You shoul;d then be faced with a window containing a box named 'Device Status'.\n\nIn the case of the drive not existing on your system, check all of the connectors on the back of the drive (Don't worry, there's only two lol) and also at the other-end, on the Motherboard. Try your system again.\n\nIn the case of the drive existing on your system, try reinstalling your version of Nero from afresh.\n\nAnd finally, if all the above fails, then your drive is probably broken! Try replacing the drive..


registering a name for a new non profit organization

Well, if you want to just be a non-profit you could just exist, or incorporate in your state. However, if you want to become a tax-exempt organization, you'll first need to get an employer identification number, which you can do online at irs.gov. Then you'll need to apply for federal tax exempt status (Form 1023). Read IRS Pub 557 for more information. After you get federal tax exempt status, getting state is usually pretty easy, but I believe that process varies from state to state.


I have always wondered this.  Shouldn't Jack be short for Jackson and John short for Johnathon?

Jack is a nickname for John because toilet was taken.


How do they keep STD's from being transfered one to another?\nDo they wash it in the machine or by hand???\nDo they use condoms on the rubber stick???????????\nHow much do they cost????????\nWhen they old do u donate them to the salvation army?????????

Communal toys should have protection on them. One's shared in a momoganus relationship can be shared. And you can clean them in the dishwasher! And dil-dos can be anywhere from $20 thru $100 depending on material, quality, and markup. And you simply dispose of them discretely in the garbage.


I'm looking for a CLU (certified life underwriter) logo for a business card.


im 11 years old and my best friend (whos a guy) isnt completely over his ex. ive given him time and i know he likes me..what should i tell him so he will want to go out w/ me...ive flirted and IM HIS BEST FRIEND!!!!

I know how u feel.Im 11 2.   \n    Okay, before you decided to do anything, ask yourself this question:\n\nIs he worth all the trouble?\nDo you want to keep your friend or just get the guy?\n\nI really don't think you should go for the guy. There are many others guys. "Yeah..duh I know that." you're probably thinking. So get a guy who shows interest in you and a guy who would be great for you. Also remember, you're only in 6th grade. I know a lot of people already at this age are dating and all that junk. Don't be pressured to rush things though. The truth is you shouldn't be dating till atleast 15. I know, it seems like forever from now. When the time comes though, it's sooooooooo worth it.\n\n\nHope that helps, and good luck!!


WHAT SHOULD POLICE DEPARTMENTS BE DOING DIFFERENTLY WITH THEIR LINE-UP PROCEDUES TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY OF EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY?

I think that one thing that might help them to improve would be to have the witness view the line-up as soon as possible.  Every minute they wait makes it that much harder for a witness to make a positive identification.  They only time I have been asked to view a line-up was 1 1/2 months after the incident.(I didn't do it because I wasn't sure)


if this is the case, then what lives in the ponds in Duckville? Do you think that the relatinship from duck in the pond to the ducks in Ducktales is like the link between us and apes? If it is, Disney is way ahead of its time - bring on the Duckanoids!

Great imagination!but all these ducktales are for kids to enjoy.It is the authors imagination to make them talk.


there's a guy i meet three weeks ago . and he has gf but i get the feeling that he likes me . he always trys to talk to me . i dont know what to think .

Well he is taken already so yeah you can't go up to him and ask him how he feels for you. But still talk to him and keep an eye on him. Who knows him might break up with his gf to be with you if he really likes you.


How long does it usually take a boy to tell his girlfriend he loves her? I'm kind of scared to tell my boyfriend I love him because I have a fear of rejection. I know, I need to get over it, but it's very hard. Please help me.

I love you. That took about 1.7 seconds. But he just won't say it, huh. He may say it tomorrow or he may never say it, that isn't exactly the strongest sign that he honestly loves you. There are many factors at work and it will be up to you to muddle your way through it all. Let me see if I can help you do that.\n\nYou will find as you age that Love will take on many faces. \n\nAt times, Love will make you feel like the happiest girl in the world. You will be so filled with It that Love will spill over and get on everyone around you. The whole mood of a room will change when you walk through the door.\n\nOther times, It will take your heart and stomp it into the ground. Just when you think it is done, it will turn and spit on you.\n\nLove will be the thing that defines different periods of your life. Love is better as a group activity but that doesn't mean you can't be alone in your feelings of Love also.\n\nWhat you have to look at here is your boyfriends comfortable zone. In some families the word love is used in everyday language. The children and the parents are quick to assure each other of Its existance. \n\nIn other families, It is said only at times when someone feels a strong need to assure another that they do indeed feel love for them.\n\nThen there are those families where speaking the Word is a bit uncomfortable and is almost or totally absent from their interactions. So...\n\nWhich of these fits your boyfriend's experience. Is the word so common to him that he might find it easy to say even if he feels only a little bit of it towards you? Is he someone that understands his feelings enough to say it only if he is sure of it? Or could he feel an overwhelming Love for you but still not vocalize it? \n\nHere is the defination of "what love is" as given in the Bible. It's not a definition of being in love. It gives a definition that defines what will be present if love is present. Even if the word Love is never said, this is how you will recocnize it.\n\n"Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,  \nit does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. \n\nIt bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails... So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love."\n\nDon't try to force the Word from him. Don't think that hearing him say the Word is the definitive event that proves It's existance. Actions speak so much louder than words ever will. Instead, look for the signs of Love. Now you know what those signs are.

I was speaking with someone recently about how I hate internet pornography because of how it has turned women into animals and/or objects in the minds of so many men.  I've gotten to the point to where I almost hate sex because it has been used to hurt others spiritually, emotionally, and even physically for one's own selfish gain.  The person I was speaking with said that some girls like rough, emotionless sex.\nIs that really true, or is he just falling for the smiling faces of abused internet actresses?  I personally have a hard time neglecting the fact that even the most sensual woman was once a tender-hearted, innocent little girl - and deep down, may still very well be.  Am I sorely mistaken, or has the act of sexuality for the purpose of drawing nearer to the heart of your soulmate been severely degraded to a violent, emotionless act of selfish lust, and personal satisfaction?

Can I just say *AMEN* .  I felt that all the way over here in Texas.


I need to know for a school projct but I can't think of any good ways.

Standing on the bank of a swimming pool you saw a poisonous snake sitting at the bottom of swimming pool you precisely aimed a gun and fired a bullet at the snake will the bullet hit the snake?  Why? Why not?

You wouldn't hit the snake, and the water has nothing to do with the trajectory of the bullet.\nWhat you want to keep in mind is the refraction of light in air compared to water.\nFor example, if you put a stick half in and half out of water, you'll notice that it doesn't look straight anymore.  The part in the water will be offset from the part in the air.\nTherefore if you aim directly at the snake, you'll miss.

I have two wired computers to my network using DSl, but everything works well, I use it for while and then it just doesn't let me get files from my other computer. Why? Does leaving the computer alone, cuts the connection? Or what?

TRY TO restore your computer to the last restoring point or when you last remember it working right... click on START, then ALL PROGRAMS, then ACCESSORIES, then SYSTEM TOOLS, then SYSTEM RESTORE, then RESTORE MY COMPUTER TO AN EARLIER POINT, then click NEXT, then you'll have a calendar pop up on the next window and then click THE DATE WHEN YOUR COMPUER LAST WORKED FINE,and then CLICK ON A BOLD DATE.....then click the bottom botton that say next.....ect


15% is normal tip for massage.  Until I began seeing Asian (Korean, Chinese) massuses I did not recieve negative feedback.  It seems they are not pleased with 15% & when I question what they want/expect they do not seem to understand English but make faces and I feel cheap.  The hourly rate in LA/Hollywood area is about the same as in the South Bay but the girls seem more demanding/unappreciative in the S. Bay.  New places open regularly and I like to go a few times a month. A good experience can be spoiled by a bad attitude from the girl when I feel I give a generous tip.

You leave as much as you want. $20 seems more than enough


I have been to secretshopper.com already, but what else is out there?

secret shopper websites are a scam.  There is no such thing as a secret shopper there are travel critics and food critics but not secret shoppers.  it's just a scam, they get you to sign up for so many things that they make more money off of you than they give you.

Get hand shower installed or take jug of water with you and wash with that. If any of above doesnt suit you, hire a servant to wash your bum when you finish.

Is she licensed to practice law in California?  If not she may be able to recommend someone there to you.


My girlfriend has been on the shot for 2 years and stopped getting the shot how long before she is sane again?

This totally depends on the woman. Some women get back on their regular cycle within 6 months, some others, it takes years. As far as her "sanity" goes, it's just hormones talking. You still need to use good birth control method so she doesn't get pregnant. If she is going absolutely insane, and can't seem to have any reprieve, there are medications that can be used to MAKE her body get back into a regular cycle. My daughter used them. They make her get her period, so she can change birth control, or whatever she chooses to do. Good luck. Be careful, and treat her kindly right now as those hormones can wreak havoc on a woman's body.

My friend keep insisting me to log in always with fake yahoo id into "answers.yahoo" instead of my yahoo Id which I check mails. Is it true most of them do the same thing. He was mentioning the drawbacks of using official yahoo Id in Yahoo Answers!, Can you tell what is it?

I use my normal yahoo e-mail but use a nickname my friends call me rather than my yahoo ID. Only I see my e-mails, and I can soon block unwanted ones if people become abusive.

I really need to study for a huge exam and I am getting tired.  Is there anything I can drin or eat to let stay up later?

You don't need stimulants you just need to quit wasting your study time on these damn questions and answers. Do your schoolwork FIRST and THEN surf IF you have time.


I read somewhere that Prince Charles can trace his lineage back to Abraham. Does anyone have any knowledge or comments about this?

No Jews can trace their lineage back that far, due to the destruction of Jerusalem around A.D. 70. If he claims to be descended from Ishmael or Esau, though, I suppose that may be possible. But I doubt it.

he's younger to me but doesnt know...does our relationship ahve a future?

Tell him the truth if you want to be with him.  Nobody can stop you from doing what your doing..if its just sex....at least have safe sex ..you don't want to end up on Maury not knowing who the father of the baby is.. just don't get caught.


i like this guy and i want him to like me back so we could be together what do i do.

You can't MAKE a guy fall for you, but you can make him notice you and then if he is interested he will make a move. Be nice, smile, flirt (not slutty), and be yourself. Show an interest in him and in what he says and try not to act silly, giggly and goofy. Good Luck!


The biggest reason why flooding oocurs in Bangladesh is because its REALLY below sea level.  Also they don't have the money to bulid up nice dams or other safety measures needed unlike other countries or areas.

Perfect! according to Masters and Johnson surveys that's the average size for a MATURE male. So you're ahead allready and at 15 still growing.


i really need to know why..plzz help me...i really appreciate all the answers given...

If you want to become a reporter or journalist, you should really know the answers yourself!

If you get positive answers which attract you, this is the right profession for you! You should make your favorite activity your profession though!


well i have been going out with this guy but when the movie ends why cant we just kiss and get it over with??/ hes really shy and so am i

Because he is shy and u are waiting for HIM to make the move.  Thank goodness we live in 2006 and IT IS OK for u to make the first move!  He may be worried that you will slap him, or not want to kiss him back.  So if I were you just jump right in there and lay a lip lock on him that he will never forget!!!!!


LOL... I just asked a question to see if i should try to work things out w/ my ex and not one person told me to so obviously I need to get the hell out of that situation... SO... what things can I do to avoid calling my ex... and not sit home and think about him all the time b/c I know if i don't keep my mind off of him I'm just going to sit at home and cry. What's the best way to get over him?

you gotta get back to doing the things you love to do...get your own interests back. by doing that, you will be doing something you like to do and something that takes your mind off him....

Wagamama fairy mirumo de pon...\n<------that picture..\nDoes anybody know that anime??they are cute!!

You mean "わがまま☆フェアリー ミルモでポン! わんだほう" or "Wagamama Fairy Mirumo de Pon! Wonderful" English is "Selfish Fairy Mirumo de Pon! Wonderful" It's number of episodes are 48, Art director Satoshi Matsudaira? comedy, romance, fantasy, fairies, magic, junior high school, teenagers. I kind of glanced at it, yes they're cute and I love fairies and magic but it's too long and I haven't been through it yet. Now that you mention it, I'll finish watching it. ^^


I cant get a credit card, get an apartment very easily, etc. Its really making stuff hard. How do dual-citizens who are fresh into the USA normally handle this? How do I build a good credit history as fast as possible to stop this from being a problem?

Credit history is not a "fast thing."  That's why it's called "history."  \n\nI would start by getting 2 credit cards.  Charging your daily "miscellaneous needs" to them.  Pay them off on time or ahead of time.\n\nAfter 2 years, acquire more credit cards visa/mc/discover but close the others after you have in favor of the new ones.  (make sure you have better interest rates, or don't do this step) This shows you can GET new credit, and also that you DON'T NEED the old credit.\n\nGood luck and Welcome to America


What does it mean when a race horse is claimed? I know it has something to do with people buying or selling race horses.

My wife was a member up until just recently (we basically have the same set-up at home now), and she had some pretty good results...\n\nAs you already know, the key principle behind curves is resistance traing along with cardio (you change stations every 30 secs)... The idea is to get your heart rate up quickly and maintain it for the duration of your w/o... \n\nWith that said, I suggest you purchase a heart rate monitor which can help regulate your pace for each exercise - depending on what your working out for (I.E. aerobics, toning, weightloss)... There are plenty of good types out there - POLAR, Reebok, MIO, are just some examples, and they come in all price ranges... \n\nBasically, Like anything else you'll get out of curves what you put in to it... \n\nHope this helps - Good Luck...

True as you cannot cure psoriasis, but you can reduce the effects of it. See if you're having a mild/moderate or a serrrriously severe one. If the former, just hop in2 a pharmacy and get a pharmacist to give u some emmolient. If you are having the severe one, u really have to just follow the treatment the doc prescribed but do tell him what's bothering you.

I'm a pre-law student and me and one of my girlfriend was debating on whether a criminal lawyer is ethical,my response was yes.\nWhy you ask, well I think there is alot of innocent people who are incarcerated.So criminal lawyers would help these inmates get a lesser term or even get them out!!!\nWhat do you think?

This is basically just a philosophical debate, but I'll put in my two cents.  I know criminal defense attorneys who are very ethical, moral people.  They believe in innocent until proven guilty, which is the foundational principal of our criminal justice system.  Of course, most criminal defendants are convicted (and by implication, most people charged are guilty).  But that does not change the fact that we would want everyone to have a quality defense, because any right we would want for ourselves should be guaranteed to everyone.\n\nJohn Adams (the second President) was a lawyer, and he helped write the Declaration of Independence.  Very cool guy, besides being a Father of Our Country.  Right before the Revolution, he volunteered to represent the British soldiers who were charged in the killings in the Boston Massacre and other lawyers didn't want to represent them(look it up if you don't remember Revolutionary War history).  Even though he lost, he has been quoted as saying that it's the case he was the proudest of taking.  Now that's an ethical stand: one of the Founding Fathers as the criminal defense attorney for the very British troops who were killing the citizens of Boston at the start of the Revolutionary War, because he knew they deserved a fair trial.


I am Web Application Developer using C#.NET. I really want to start a new career using Sun's J2EE. What is do i need to be a Web Application Developer using J2EE?. Being a good Web Developer using .NET requires ASP.NET, SQL Server 2000, IIS .. etc. Those are all Microsoft package and what the market is expecting from a .NET developer. Now, What does the market expect from me as J2EE ? Can anyone help? I am lost and I don't know the exact steps to get started.\n\nThank you all

You need to master:\n\n- Java language\n- the Java classes from J2SE (Standard Edition). You don't need to study all the classes. You can concentrate on some ones, like java.sql.*, java.io.*, for example. Skip java.awt, javax.swing, they are needed for form applications, not web apps.\n- Java Server Pages: it is out of J2SE, and is part of J2EE. You need to use a web container, like tomcat, see http://jakarta.apache.org\n- Servlets: only to complete you knowledge\n- And then, you can study some framework, like Struts (see the jakarta site), and Spring:\nhttp://www.springframework.org\n- For persistence, you can study some ORM, like\nhttp://www.hibernate.org\n- Please, skip Enterprise Java Beans, is a dead end, in my opinion. You can check\nhttp://www.theserverside.com\nhttp://www.jboss.org\n\nAngel "Java" Lopez\nhttp://www.ajlopez.com/


NO!!!!!!!! Thats why I'm asking how to get ink off your hands they are a FREAKING MESS!!!!!!


The whole mobile house started smelling very bad about 6 weeks ago. I had a friend go into the crawlspace to check it out and he reported back with news that there is allot of standing sewer water under there from a "tweaked" pipe. It started about 5 months ago but became almost unbearable recently. I have had upset stomach, dizziness and can't stay awake during the day. I have fallen asleep while sitting and standing up and have to sleep around 10 to 16 hours every day total day and night. All this isn't normal for me. Should I pay several hundred dollars for a plumber or invest the money into doctors to find the problem? It may sound stupid but for me... This is a dilemma.

Sewer gas & the raw sewage itself can be extremely toxic. Not to freak you out, but you should get that issue resolved- get estimates from plumbers who specialize in digging drains & downspouts and then choose the least expensive of the options. If you resolve the issue of the sewage, you eliminate the health issue as well.


im lookin for a computer to buy for myself

the computer you build yourself is always the best one.  other then that its mostly personal preference.  All the major components except maybe the mother board are the same.


Women.....think, who spends the most time with the little boys when they are scripted from birth to 6 years old?

Believe it or not, the people who spend most of the time with the kids is still the parents...except when parents are working second (afternoon) or third/fourth (evening/night) shifts. Then their kids stay with whomever the parent chooses as caregiver.\n\nSchools spend 7 hours per day, 180 days per year, or 1260 hours per year with the kids. However, there are 8760 hours in a year. This means that schools have the kids for less than 15% of the year. IF the kids are getting enough sleep, that's another 34% of the year they are sleeping. The rest of the time (49%, or 4292 hours) is entirely controlled and supervised by the parents -- either by being there for their children, or leaving them with caregivers (relatives, daycares) of their choice.\n\nOh, and if you're trying to point fingers for failure at women/mothers, perhaps you should look at the missing men/fathers who are not in their children's lives due to:\n--their own choice to abandon their children, or\n--court ordered restraint due to them being abusive, or\n--the mother running due to him being abusive, or\n--the man being in prison, etc.\n\nIt is still rare for courts to award custody to men in divorce cases, although they are wanting to and making more effort to provide equity in custody...wonder why? Hmmm.... And the statistics about failed parenting are based on single PARENT homes... single dads fail just as much as single mothers. There's just more single mothers doing the caregiving out there...\n\nSo you end up with these abandoned, often abused women who must not only try to care for their child(ren) but also work, often 2 or 3 jobs, to provide financially for their kid(s), so they're hardly ever home long enough to really provide parenting beyond food in the fridge...\n\nIf you want to fix things, be a responsible man and take care of your kids, both financially and by giving them positive time to do things with you, get to know you, and learn some values from you.  Even if you don't get along with the kid(s) mother, make yourself a regular part of the kid(s) lives, in a positive way (make it about them, not their mother, when you talk with them). What saves kids is to have TWO parents, who are consistently part of their lives in a caring and nurturing way (what a surprise). If you can't due to court restraining orders... well, you set yourself up for those, didn't you!


my sister graduates high this year and none of my friends are going to my school HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please, write the story's summary and author's name too.

So many to choose from, but I can honestly say that all Harry Potter books are my favorite, but there are classics that I love too!  This is a hard question!!!  What is your fave?\n\nHarry Potter's author is JK Rowlings.  The books are about a boy who discovers that he is a wizard and attends wizarding school.  It is a children's book, but I know tons of adults that read them.  They are impossible to put down and JK is a great author!


the question makes no since. reform and try again!


Our military stretched out way to far, and nuclear war means no win situation. i do not believe UK and Russia would like it very much the USA bombing Iran with nuclear weapons. In all Israel will wind up bombing them.


do you have options? or do you have one question that you must write about?

hey dude, i don't know what you are asking but you should give me best answer for those cool stats i gave you

The song's called Gabriel, of that I'm sure... as for the singer... I think it's Najoua Belyzel, but I'm not sure... see you tomorrow!\n\nGo here for the lyrics!\nhttp://pt.lyrics-copy.com/najoua-belyzel/gabriel.htm


Since there is the "parens patirae doctrine" which allows an intervention by the government. is this still the case when the parent's come to court n the child's welfare isn't a threat or in danger, or does the judge still act as the parent??

There are a number of situations where a juvenile can go to the court and get the judge to approve something, rather than going to their parents. The most traditional is emancipation, where the court acknowledges the minor is mature enough to leave home and be legally distinct from the parents. \n\nThis concept has also come up with many health-related laws, where a minor can get the court's approval for certain medical procedures, if they are scared of their parents' reaction. The judge is sometimes empowered to authorize the procedure based on the child's mature decision, even absent parental approval.\n\nEach state's laws are different. Check your local listings.


who is the BEST RİGHT now..in every posistion...an give me the reason why...

The best is definitely Kobe.  Lebron is up there but Kobe is an amazing player that can do anything.  He can shoot from anywhere, has the craziest dunks.  His defense is a lockdown type.  He is just hitting his prime too.  I can't wait to see what Lebron turns into but Kobe is amazing.\n\nHere are the 5\n\nPG - Steve Nash.  He sees the court like no other.  I think his soccer background helps him out a lot.  He made Marion be the player he needed to be without Stoudemire.\n\nSG - Kobe Bryant.  If you read above you'll see why.\n\nSF - Lebron James - A freak of nature.  The dude is 21 and a superstar on the rise.  Possibly top 10 of all time when his career is done.\n\nPF - Elton Brand - He has developed into a premier power forward.  He can do it all.  He is a beast in the paint and his team would be nothing without him.  Ask me this question in like 2 years and without a doubt my choice for PF will be Dwight Howard.  I can't wait to see him dominate.\n\nC - Shaquille O'Neal - When he is on the court its a different game.  He may not score like he used to but just his presence makes teams play a different style.  Sure he is on his way out but he can still win a championship.

Newton's law of gravitaion, all objects with mass attract each other.

Pressure from the electromagnetic radiation streaming out of the star.\n\nIIRC, every star is at some equilibrium between gravitational collapse and flying apart due to heat/pressure in the interior generated by the fusion process.  When the fuel being burned in the fusion process is depleted, the star begins to collapse until the resulting pressure ignites the next fuel stage.


disrespectful but would consider it wrong if you dated someone that was jewish and you weren't? I mean is that against their religion to date outside of their religion, if i'm catholic? please be serious and honest thanks

Jews and Catholics do not favor this because they know the other party may influence the one they care about. No one who believes their religion is correct wants to lose someone they care about. Also many find out as I did that this can lead to much hardship later in the relationship. Think about your future -church?, kids? family get together, or you may fall deeply in love only to lose out to these differences.

We have to complete a "movement composition" assignment for our P.E. Class where we essentially perform an "original" sequence of movements. Dancing isn't allowed, and I have no athletic skills at all! I just need some ideas!

A sequence of movements that isn't a dance????  That doesn't really make sense.  Well, I guess you could mime something, like making a sandwich.  That's technically a "series of movements."

A fuel cell that runs on methane actually separates the hydrogen from the carbon using a reformer, then uses the hydrogen in the fuel cell.  What happens to the carbon?  How does the reformer work?  What happens if a molecule besides methane got into the reformer?

A reformer is a huge furnace that provided the heat enery required to seperate the Hydrogen and Carbon from the stable CH4 molecule. \n\nThe ones I have worked with works like this:\nA mixture of the gas CH4 and steam H2O is passed thorough a tube that is filled with catalyst, that goes into the furnace (reformer) where it is heated to around 900C.\n\nAt that temp, and with the steam, the following are formed\nHydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, and Carbon Dioxide. So the carbon forms the CO and CO2.\n\nOther molecules can cause the following: Oxygen: Explosion\nNitrogen: Nothing\nSulpur: Kills catalyst.

I'm looking at the NWS site www.weather.gov

An NWS Doppler radar emits beams of radiation which particles such as precipitation reflect back to the radar (thus called echoes - similar with how your voice echoes off objects and back to you). Scans can be done at elevation angles (angles above the horizontal plane) between .5° and 19.5°. Being the lowest scan - closest to ground - the .5° scan tends to best represent the intensity of precipitation reaching ground and is called the "base reflectivity" (analogous to how an object's base is at its bottom). Higher scans can avoid ground interference and clutter at some locations, but also detect more of the large droplets/crystals in the clouds which won't reach the ground.

You have drivers license in one state but moved to another and have a warrant there, then your license got stolen and you want to go back to the state you had them in to begin with to get another set. Will it show up when you go to get a another set or only in the state you have the warrant in?

That depends on what the warrant is for; ie, a felony versus a misdemeanor.

Barnes & Noble faxes to Woodchip Publishing Company on May 1, 2002 the following:\nPlease ship immediately six copies of NOBODY FIXES REAL CARROT STICKS ANYMORE.\nPrice: $6.00                Shipping: $2/book\nWoodchip ships six books with an invoice as follows:\nSix NOBODY FIXES REAL CARROT STICKS ANYMORE @ $6.00 = $36.00\nShipping and Handling = $6.00\nIs there a contract? Does applicable law which controls this transaction?

There's not a contract as in a signed one, but in this case there is a contract under the UCC.  This is especially true since both the parties are merchants who have a good deal of knowledge on the subject at hand, however since the merchant selling the books made a counter offer (the change in shipping price) the buyer must accept the counter offer for it to become binding.  ie If they don't wish to pay $6/bk for shipping they must not take the books, otherwise they are consenting to the counter-offer.

Please give a thorough and informative answer. Thanks!

The Mac OSX operating system is far superior to Windows XP. If you use Internet on a Windows XP you are prone to many viruses even if you are careful. If you have anti-virus software, cleaning your computer wastes your time and doesn’t detect some viruses. With Mac OSX hardly any viruses have been written and virtually no spyware. Another excellent feature of Mac OSX is that you can easily set it to update itself. No more going to www.update.microsoft.com and downloading updates. Another pro of OSX is it’s sleek high quality interface. The rollover bar at the bottom of your screen is much sleeker than the Windows XP taskbar. \nWith Windows XP if you have old cd-roms they most likely will not work with a higher operating system. On the other hand, with a Mac you can switch easily to classic mode with one touch of a button and use your old cd-roms! If you’re a PC user, you are probably used to waiting forever for results when you search for a file on your system. That’s not the case with Mac OS X. Spotlight, Apple’s search technology, instantly finds whatever you’re searching for. It even searches metadata and inside documents, so you’ll only get the most relevant results.\nOne issue critics have brought up with the Mac OSX is that there is not very much software available. That may have been true in the past but now this is quickly changing. You can now run a lot of Windows XP software on a Mac. As for Macs being slower, this also isn’t true anymore. Macs are starting to use the Intel chip, the worldwide leader in its industry. However, if you still prefer Ctrl+Alt+Delete (Windows XP) Mac has just announced a program called “Boot Camp”. You can run your Windows XP on a Mac.


Maybe, because at some point they were both "Little".\nYou know?

As prom season is upon high school students nationwide, I'm sure i'm not the only person in a prom time pickle.  I have a good female friend whose friendship i value. shes asked me to prom. despite her lack of good aesthetics, i appreciate her for the person she is.  shes told me she has a crush on me, so i dont want to give her the wrong idea by accepting her invitation and then not pursuing the romantic interests i am sure she has in mind (i dont want to lead her on). how should i handle this?

You are right it wouldn't be fair to take her knowing what you now know. Tell her you are sorry but you just don't think of her 'like that' but she as has been such a good friend it is only fair to say it right out. \nOff course you could end up dateless then what will you do?


I think she is. Her music is like pop-ish. It's not even close to rock.

She is like most rockers have a problem with being forced to change to keep up with the times. Face we have to put up with more pop garbage. I miss the past whenit was rock and metal and grunge.  Now it is all bubble gum garbage and the words don't even mean anything now.  I give props to Green Day their album was awesome and meant something.  They put thought into their work.  Artist today well most of them didn't work their butts off to get where they are they didn't sleep in their vans and sleezy motels awaiting their next gig, they didn't practice in a garage or basement. Basically the artist today most entered a stupid contest, or looked good before records execs who said hey they look good we will take these guys and make them stars, they can't sing but hey we have technology and we can tweek the voices and we will give them this nonsense song and make a really cool video so teens can all freak out and buy their records, because well the lead singer is hot and dresses in cool closes. YEAH, I will stick to my rock and stick to the bands that worked their butts off to make their dream a reality and who can really play instruments and sing. Hey and they can write songs.  \n\nYeah Avril is a sell out. I still remeber when she began in Napanee, i saw her at the Belleville Festival then she was working her butt off to make it big and said she will be true to her fans. yeah she didn't most of them are ticked that she makes pop crap. God why doesn't she go back to country. Yeah she was a country singer long before rock


so if a woman swallows than she loves the guy?\nYes i love a woman that loves to swallow\n\ndoes this mean that I am a great guy ?

Some women actually get off on giving a guy head. All women like to Swallow. If they say they don't they're lying or haven't really tried it. Knowing you made him blow is just awesome....


I did (numerous) and would be good to hear your experiences.

Yeah when i was 18. She was i rite nutjob!!! E-mail me if u want & i'll tell u a bit more.


ok well im catholic and my friend is wiccan! i am really inters=ested in wiccan and my friend said that he will teach it to me! is this a bad idea?

There is nothing wrong with learning about other religions. This does not make you a bad Catholic, it just allows you to be informed about other beliefs so you can better understand your own. You may change your beliefs, maybe not, but it is always worthwhile to be open minded and learn about new things. At the very least it can help you understand your friend a little better. Best Wishes.\n\nP.S. as to maguirebasebal's response, this person obviously is very ignorant about the Wiccan beliefs. They do not worship Satan, many of them don't even believe in the existence of an official devil. They worship and respect nature, among other things. I am a Christian with many Wiccan friends whom I respect dearly. I have learned alot about their faith and they have learned alot about mine. I think it allowed all of us to grow as people.


my husband gets a ride to work with a guy that is gay. we didn't have a car so he needed a ride. now we have a car he says that he likes to ride to work with the guy even though he can drive our car to work. why does he do this. do him and the guy like each other. what is going on?

no he just likes the friendship. some one he can talk to.

Do you think it's a way to achieve equal treatment?

Definitely not.\n\nPositive discrimination for one group legitimises discrimination against another.\nThen it can be used as a legal/moral justification for future discrimination.\n\nAddressing root causes is the way to address discrimination: not by (eg.) appointing less suitable candidates for posts merely because of a disability/race/religion/etc.


I take adderall for the purposes of improving my attention with respect to protracted, intellectual endeavors.  I do take blood-pressure medication, which seems fairly effective at maintaining a level of blood-pressure that does not exceed the parameters that are medically defined as normal.  I was wondering if the use of stimulants mights have consequences that result despite the fact that my blood-pressure appears to be controlled?

There is a lot to find about adderall and its side effects if you google for it on the net. \nAlthough you can find a lot of info, i would advise you to consult your doctor who prescribed you the meds to see if the 'mixing' of the medicines you are taking can be the cause of the seemingly controlled blood pressure.\nFYI I've added a link to a very good page about adderall, the effects, side effects etc, but again, best advice i can give you, is consult your doctor.\nGood luck,\nTiff


I'm a 20-year-old female, and I'm still a virgin.  For the last 8 yrs, I've been having problems in my vaginal area.  First I noticed a burning sensation when I urinated, and then it got worse...now it sometimes burns even when I don't urinate.\n\nI then noticed a bad odor and some white vaginal discharge.  I have visited five different doctors in 8 yrs, and they have all told me something different.  One of them gave me an anti-fungal cream which did nothing.  Another gave me a pill that did not work either.\n\nAlso, the small inner lip, which I think is called the labia minora, always sticks out of the outer lips.  It rubs against my underwear all the time and is quite painful and uncomfortable.\n\nI also shaved my pubic hair yesterday for the first time, and I was surprised to find that the skin around that area is a darkish-gray color!  This same color appears around the thighs as well.  Is this normal?\n\nPlease help me!!  What is the problem and what should I do???

u should really go and see a gynecologist... i think it's a problem... don't doctor hop.. if the medicine that the gynecologist give u doesn't work then go and see her again... this way she will knoow what the problem really is..


Does anyone have any suggestions on websites that have REAL freebies? What about wbsites that pay for your time or surveys or companies that do product testing?

The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. \n\nLegitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics -- e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old -- and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey -- you're definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month. \n\nOther companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don't earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).\n\nThe article "Earning Money from Surveys" provide a short list of legitimate market research firms and contains explanations of what to look for when joining surveys (and weeding out the fraudulent ones)\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol121/onlinesurvey.htm \n\nPinecone Research http://www.pineconeresearch.com\nGreenField Online http://www.greenfieldonline.com \nHarris Poll Online http://www.harrispollonline.com  \nBuzzBack http://www.buzzback.com  \nSurveySite http://www.surveysite.com \nSurveySavvy http://www.surveysavvy.com\nSurvey Spot http://www.surveyspot.com/\nhttp://www.internetpaidsurveys.com/

It has taken me all this time, money,and effort to realize that being happy in my life is the most important thing. It always has been, and always will be. However, I am glad I went to school, it more or less reafirmed previous notions I had held. I really see the world in a differnt way, and understand people, sometimes for good and bad. I realize the rash of miserable people in America who are negative, talke about others, relish their failurers only because they arent happy with themselves. I really feel as though I have established myself in the world, and am not longer driven by money, thank god. I am going to the World Cup this summer and cant wait. So, longs story short, was college a waste? No matter what I do for work, I will ALWAYS have serenity with myself, which I have learned that MANY people dont like that and try to bring you down, very sad. I may not boast the highest gpa, but as the saying goes, dont let your skooling interfere with your educations. thanks

No, it was not a waste.  In order to acquire most jobs these days, you need to have that degree on your resume. (even for ones you wouldn't think) So in that sense, it was a good thing.  Will it make you happy?  Gee, for all that money you'd think you should get some happiness out of it! You will eventually--when you get that job you want, or that bit more money to live on that the non grad didn't get.  I agree with the whole money thing in principle--soul sucking jobs are evil- but you do need it to live.  Have fun at the Cup and good luck!


I know the British will say bastardized should be spelled bastardised!

Actually they don't all say that.  And anyway it's not true.  Language is in a constant state of flux anyway.  Let's take 'Fall' (US) v 'Autumn' (UK).  'Fall' was in widespread use in the West of England (where most of the early US settlers came from).  It changed in UK but remained the same in US.  So, the change happened in UK, NOT the US.  This is true for a number of other word/phrase pairs.\n\nIf you assume - as all linguists know - that languages change over time, then it is obvious that in the 400 years or so that English speaking people have lived in America, that their language would diverge from that of the UK.  The same happened in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and, under slightly different pressures, in India, Singapore etc.\n\nEnglish in, say, Georgia and English as spoken in New York have diverged in the same period.  As a Brit, I had real difficulty understanding some of the rural residents of Georgia I met on a recent visit.\n\nThe reason many Brits use the word 'bastardised' to describe American English (yes, with an 's'!) is not so much to do with the language butmore to do with their feeling that America is insular, arrogant and full of itself.  (A view which is only partially justified, I feel).  The assumption by some Americans (as perceived by many Brits) - and largely the assumption of the US Government - that the whole world should aspire to become more like the US, that the US system of doing everything is best, that the US can and should bully other nations leads to a groundswell of feeling of alienation from America.  As we all know, it is traditional in the UK to mock people because of the way they speak!\n\nWinston Churchill (I think) said of Britain and America that we are 'two great nations divided by a common language'.  In general (unfortunately) I think he was about right.


i think i am, but i'm not sure how i know

Because you COMPLETELY lose interest in looking at other people (as a boy/girl-friend).  All you care about is that ONE person, and when some other attractiver person flirts with you, the first thing you think about is how much you love the person you are already with.  And, often, you get a bad feeling/guilt when someone else hits on you.  = )

I am 19 and I've been depressed for pretty much my entire life.. I had a rough childhood and was never the "prettiest girl" in my class.. well now I'm having a really hard time thinking for myself. I don't think i'm pretty, I think that people don't like me... i'm so shy, i worry too much about what people think about me, and i just do bad socially. I have a few close friends who I can talk to about anything, and i'm really thank ful for them, but i still need help with teh confidence department. any ideas? and if you're just going to insult me, find someone else to insult cause that just gets annoying!!!

I remember being 19 and not feeling confident.  That's okay, the confdence will develop as you mature.  Stay focused on the positive aspects of your life and continue to reach for your goals and dreams.  Be patient with yourself.  You sound like an intelligent person who will end up on her feet.


The movies are to intimate for a first date, dinner is to cliche. What if the guy takes you for tea or coffee and if it goes good from there you can move on to dinner, movie or icecream.

If it is a true date I find dinner is always the good one simply because you can sit and talk and that tells a lot but also covers your butt because you are in public you don't have to worry about any silly moves

I replied to a question in a sarcastic manner, like a lot of people do, but now I have a stalker guy who wants to argue with me in every one of my questions.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him reply to this question...  I thought this was a place where you can speak your mind!!!

Some people want to ask you "your opinion" on many things in life.  Then when you offer it, they want to argue with you about your opinion.  What they really wanted wasn't your opinion, but rather for you to agree with them on their opinion.\n\nI have told a person more than once who wanted to argue with me about an opinion, "Hey, you asked me my opinion and I gave it to you.  I'm comfortable with you not agreeing with me.  Why can't you be comfortable with me not agreeing with you?"

I want to work with newborn babies in the nursery (where they stay until they are well enough to go home) but I don't want to be the one that works with the ones with life threatening diseases or anything (I think their neonatologist- not what I want to be). What is the kind of doctor I want to be?

If you just want to cuddle newborns, a noble goal by the way, why not just volunteer at a hospital?  If you really want to be a doctor, you will have to deal with sick children, sometimes those who are desperately ill. If the thought of that is too distressing, perhaps you need to find some other way to work with infants, such as a pediatric nurse or child life specialist.  \n\nYou sound very young -- have you ever talked to people who are doing the work you might want to do and discussed the educational commitment, personal sacrifices, emotional stresses, and personal rewards of their professions?  You should consider doing so.


my friend keeps getting a connection problem with his wireless  so he wants to know how to fix it....

First thing he might try doing is changing the channel's his router is broadcasting on.  There are programs out there that will let you view the available networks in your area, cloaked and otherwise, to find out what channel they're using. From what I've seen, most people leave this on the default, channel 6.  If there's too much traffic on a particular channel, dropped or slow connections can be a problem.  Give that a shot and see what happens.

One of the easiest ways is to start slow and gradually introduce intimacy back into the relationship.\nFor instance, you may introduce a rule to yourself:\n"make sure I hug my partner at least three times a day"\njust simple acts like this, which are quick to perform, can have a profound effect with regard adding romance into a relationship.\nOr ,get up early one day and go and watch the sunrise together.\nThis is the sort of thing that many women love, and whilst you may find it a little boring is a classic way of adding romance to your relationship.\nOn a warm night before what will be another warm day, there is something incredibly romantic about sharing watching a sunrise together, as the night and darkness gives way to the light of day.\nThe cool air, the change in light levels and the relative quiet of that early morning gives you an almost humbling sensation or an awe of the true beauty and power of nature, and sharing this together is what makes it so romantic.\nAdvice: Don’t involve your friends in your relationships.


How can Mourinho go on about that one chance at the end (cole) when garcia missed two guilt edged chances in the first half. The freekick may have been lucky (for liverpool) but chelsea had more than one dubious freekick they just didn't take their chances. In Mourinho's world you dominate for 30 minutes and your unlucky to lose the game! What a LOSER!

Rafa outwitted him in every department. It may not have been a free kick, but Drogba just may not have been onside, & if Terry wants to jump all over Johnny Riise's shoulders, so be it. It doesn't make us better than Chelsea, but we are closing the gap & were worthy winners on the day.
