Knock him upside his head and tell him oh you thought he said he wanted to get hit.


My mother asked me the question. She wants that before I’m set out to freedom, I must know this answer. She also asked me to backup my answer with some convincing reasons. So, mothers, you know the best answers. Do you believe you too know about your children much more than your children know about themselves? Why? Help please!!!

I believe she's alluding to the importance of self-introspection. Ralph Waldo Emerson writes some great stuff about this concept(read his "The American Scholar"). Basically, he says you will never have the chance to know anything like you can know yourself. \n\nTherefore, it is most worthwhile to know yourself. So many things we do that are self-destructive are because we choose to ignore the qualities about ourselves that we dislike. So go  out and explore life but never put anything anyone says or writes before what you have found through self-examination and your observations.\n\nAs a parent, one can observe a child's behavior closely but one can never know the internals of the mind like the child can as he/she grows and explores.


Looking specifically for the tools or adaptations that increased survival

they kept moving south, away from the ice. They were following the food.  So improvments in hunting helped them branch away from the demanding path of the mammoths.  Then, fire and the wheel, basic I know, but they needed to get far enough south to avoid the ice, OR skin the animals for their most valuable fur.

Is KUMON a big help?  Will it help with time management on homework and tests?

I took Kumon for about 3 years from 5th to 7th grade. I have to admit it really helped because I was a few steps ahead in math than the rest of the students in my grade. Thus resulting in better grades and teachers thinking I'm super intelligent, lol.\nBut I stopped after 7th grade and now I'm wishing I didn't because I think it realy worked for me.\nIt truly is a wonderful program!\nI am now current;y in high school, and a lot of my friends still go it. So It's say it's for grades one through twelve.


Do you have a great homepage would you share? I have Yahoo but I want something better or funny.

Hi Cutiepie - my home page is www.ask.com - just that I use the internet to find things so I find Ask is great for asking questions!


Or is there any other way to connect to the net any where with out wifi.

some cell phones have an infrared port to connect to your laptop (as long as your laptop has an infrared port as well) so you can use your cell as a modem.

Is there another human beings living in a planet similar to earth in another galaxy ?? Think about that.

Now, in your main question, you use the generic term "ones," but in the details you use "human beings."  It is possible we are the only human beings, since that refers to a specific pattern of physical and mental processes.  But the only Ones, as in living, conscious, self-aware beings?  That would be statistically amazing, given how many stars there are, and how many planets revolve around our star.  Science fiction has long estimated the number of habitable planets, the number which are in fact inhabited, etc.  I can't say how many, but I'd be truly amazed if we are the only ones.


This happend in the 2002 playoff game between the Raiders and Patriots

Yes, it started a dynasty that otherwise wouldn't have happened.  The entire Patriots reign is a sham because of that fumble.  I give credit to Vinatieri for making that kick in the snow and the Pats were certainly a great team over several years, but they should have never won that game against the Raiders.  Its the worst call because of what was at stake (playoff game) and the ramifications (Super Bowls for the Pats).


i like this guy but i like sombody elts and he has a girl frend,what do i do

i think you should go with the one with out the gf.. it would be better that way


I hear this a lot... "He gave his life in Iraq so we Americans could be free... ". Can anyone explain this rationale? I feel deeply about the lives lost and cannot even begin to imagine the immense pain felt by those loved ones left behind... especially children who've lost their parents. Were we not free? Were Iraqi's imposing on our freedom in some way that justifies this loss?

The only logical explanation I can find is as follows:\n\nThe first assumption is that we had to go into Iraq initially to remove Saddam Hussein. The real reason may never be known (daddy, oil, the Baghdad battery, who knows).\n\nThis was about Americans being free from the threat of Saddam somehow managing to cobble together a missile that could reach the West Coast. Unlikely, I know, but you could imagine it at a stretch. Hell, he had a lot of aluminum tubes, maybe it would have been a very long blow tube dart.\n\nHe could also have withheld OIL from us, which would have removed the freedom to drive enormous vehicles to the store to buy groceries, unless you wanted to take out a mortgage for 10 miles of gas.\n\nOnce we were in there things changed. Having removed Saddam, it soon became clear that we'd messed things up. All the excuses for the war came tumbling down, so we needed some new ones. Luckily, the insurgency provided that. There were now terrorists in Iraq.\n\nThis was something the Iraqis hadn't known for years. Theirs was a very well controlled environment. There was no crime, and everyone was happy. Very much in the same way, as there is no crime in an area controlled by the mob, unless it is authorized. It also made for the next excuse - Iraq was now a (and still is) a breeding ground for terrorists.\n\nThese new terrorists do directly affect our freedom, so its important the soldiers are there to show that even the most powerful military force on the planet can do nothing about them. We should always be scared of terrorists - and that directly impacts our freedom.\n\nEven more insidious (and I thought of this before 24) is the through that terrorism may remove our freedoms altogether.\n\nThe plot is as follows. Terrorists created in Iraq infiltrate the US and manage a semi-devastating attack. The government has to impose martial law to deal with it. This is close to Nov 2008 and the election cannot take place with martial law imposed, so it is postponed. Bush remains in power as a (now) military dictator. Saddam is very jealous. In order to function better, executive power to make any decision to defend against terrorism means that the administration disbands congress since its getting in the way.\n\nIn this way, the soldiers fighting in Iraq are fighting for us. If they can defeat the terrorists, Bush may not be given the opportunity to remove all our freedoms.


These are the possible 4 answers:\n\nA. weathering B. depostion C. erosion D. abrasion

You need to think about this in terms of the question, that is what one of these processes involves movement of sediment.\n\nWeathering does involve movement of sediment, since weathering includes lots of processes that break down rocks into smaller particles or even dissolve rocks. Dissolution of limestone by carbonic acid in water is weathering that 'moves' rock. Freeze-thaw weathering of sandstone breaks the sandstone into smaller particles that are carried away by water, gravity, and wind. \n\nDeposition is the end result of the process of moving sediment, and may be the only one that does not answer your question, but because it is part of the process of 'moving' sediment it probably counts. \n\nErosion definitely moves sediment. Soil, sand, and rock are eroded by moving water and transported to new locations. \n\nAbrasion results in 'moving' sediment. Glaciers abrade underlying rock and grind it into small particles. Wind blows sand grains against rock and abrades it and reduces it to smaller particles. \n\nI think the only correct answer here is "all of the above.”


To add to that, What about online?  I've been talking to people from myspace.com, but I dunno, theres just some strange people on there. I want to meet new freinds in such.

The West End is a good area to meet people. You haven't said the age bracket you are looking for but you could start there. Greenville Avenue is another area where people like to socialize. Good Luck!

What is an avatar and how do I get one????  lol

Stinkerbell, where have you been.  Obviously not on the internet in the last say....year.  Are you sure your not stuck in the desert with me???\n\nAn avatar are those cuties little pictures that you see when you do chats and message boards.  Now in order for me to get the best answer, I have to provide more than that but for such wealth, you must promise me best answer!\n\nThe secret to avatars is not so much what picture you want but knowing the size that will be projected onto the screen.  It all comes down to dpi or pixels.  You see you cannnot take a picture that your boyfreind took of you and just jam it in and make it an avatar.  Its kind of like putting ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.  If your new to this thing I would recommend picking one that is on most sites or you can do a search like "avatar and flowers" or "avatar and ladybugs"\n\nLastly, lol is not the proper way to end such a question.  People will think you not serious and say piss on your question and leaving wonder for eternity.\n\nAlways glad to help, the answer man.\n\nHappy avatar hunting on the web!


I read it from a Hellboy comic. I believe it is Scandinavian in origin and may be 3 different legends. The burning gold I think is in conection with a King Volmer.

The Green Giant is a celtic Myth which appears in Arthurian legendry most famously as well as in others. He is thought to be some kind of forest god.\n\nIn the Irish version he is Cu Roi. I haven't found a connection between him and a mermaid or burning gold. So that may be just for the comic.\n\nBreifly\n\nThe Green Knight (or Giant) enters Arthurs halls and offers a large sum of money to anyone who will cut off his head, on the understanding that the green knihgt can cut his head off in a years time.\n\nThe first knight cuts off the giants head. The body gets up picks up the head and replaces it and walks off. A year later the giant turns up and the knight doesnt. \n\nSo the same thing happens.\n\nThe next year Sir Gawain chops off the giants head. He goes for a year long quest where he meets a husband and wife. The husband says stay with us, but if my wife gives you anything you must give it to me.\nThe first night she gives him a ribbon, which he hands over. The second night she gives him a handkerchief which he hands over, the third night she gives him a scarf and a kiss. He hands over the scarf.\n\nThe next day the Green Knight turns up at the court. So does Gawain. \n\nThe Green Giant hits once with the axe, but diesn't make a mark.\n\nHe hits him again with the axe, again no mark.\n\nThe third time is just enough to draw bloody. The Giant stands up and says Gawain has won the prize, and that he would not have marked him at all if he had kept his promise to give him everything his wife did.\n\nCelts began up in very northen Europe and migrated South and West. It is Possible that the legend has a Northern origin, but I havent heard of a similar story further north than England/Ireland

I am a feminist. I converted to Islam precisely because of all the religions I've encountered, Islam was the best choice for me (I am an equity feminist, and while Islam teaches spiritual equality of men and women, it also teaches social equity of men and women). Even in its purest form, there are some things about Islam that I struggle with evey day-- so, if you are a feminist, how do you reconcile your religious beliefs (Whatever they may be)?\n\n**Disclaimer**\nAlso, I am not looking for insults or misogynist comments. If  you have them, please save them for some other time. I am genuinely concerned with how non-misogynist women and men reconcile with the mostly (and mainstream) patriarchal attitudes of religions. I am NOT trying to say any one religion is more misogynist than any other.

Though I hesitate to call myself feminist (mostly due to an internal debate over whether a man can truly be a feminist); I do try to uphold some of the beliefs of both the early suffragette movement, and the change in social mores in the 1960s and 1970s. That is, gender (and racial though that is a different topic) equality in matters of politics, socio-economics, and spiritaulity.\n\nAs for reconciling attitudes between my own beliefs and those of the patriarchal religions; quite frankly, I couldn't. Experience with my extended family gave me an extremely biased view of leadership dynamics. Due to my mother's family, I began to tie the presence of strong female influence, leadership and direction to long-term stability and strong ties within a family. This idea was reinforced over the course of three generations: my mother, my mother's mother, my maternal grandmother's mother and sisters, as well as my maternal grandfather's mother and sister all presented strong female role models and true partnerships with their husband. It is interesting to note that while a good number of my maternal great-aunts and great-uncles (sisters/brothers of grandparents) do affiliate with the (Roman Catholic or other Christian) church, the majority are FWEC Christians.\nMy father's family, on the other hand, had a strong paternal influence within the household; or rather, the influence of my paternal grandmother was purposefully muted due to prevailing influence and ideals of the Catholic Church during her childhood. Their family dynamic, in the past twenty years, has been punctuated by arguments, divorce, and what can only be described as very poor judgement.\n\nI never truly had to reconcile my own learned beliefs with those of the church for two main reasons: first, I was not raised in the church. I sought the church on my own around as a pre-teen and chose the Congregational Church specifically because of it's stand on female clergy (allowed).


The pledge should be inclusive, how can that be wrong?

Nothing.  In America there is seperation of church and state as long as it is presumed that christianity will always be included.


About 20 years ago we saw this movie on TV; a fascinating portrayal of an elderly man leading a group of children through Nazi-occupied France (maybe Belgium?) to safety. We think Peter O'Toole starred, but have been unable to find, using HIS name, any such movie.  Would be very grateful if you could help us learn the exact title of this movie, so we could watch and enjoy it again.   ra1nat2@yahoo.com

You might be thinking of the movie "Crossing to Freedom."

I LOVE DEEPISH MODE I think a pain that I'm used to from playing the angel is my favorite!!


do you believe that some people are fake?

Actually, everyone is fake. Every single person. Society can't handle man on a primal level, so we have to put on masks to go outside. Everyone has secrets, to me that makes everyone fake. Some people are more fake than others, but it's a function of human nature to make ourselves look better to other people than we really are. Some people are pretty much completely fake, and those people lack integrity.


I really want to begin to publish a website that reviews all other websites in a given field (dont want to mention which field it will be specializing in). so basically i figured i need some free php software that will allow me to add entries for each site i reivew; the entries should be decent in length with pictures etc, and also hopefully allow views to rate the site im reviewing and maybe post their own comments. search option would be great as well as simple browsing. what can i do? i have a pretty strong web development background but i dont know php..thanks

Try some blogging software like Wordpress.


I'm making a movie with a party scene and i'm going to intro duce the hottest girl in this scene and she's at the party... What should i have her wearing!!!! And she needs to be eye candy to me once i see her!

I like the red dress too. But dont go too short. She's hot, but not slutty. Hair down. If it's a more casual party, try a pair of ultra lowrise jeans and a designer tank. Just think about the kind of party it is and the girls personality.

I have taken the ring off and it takes 2 weeks to heal and only hours of it being back on to get red, puffy and itchy now.

Divorce is the only answer... LOL unless of course you figure out that it's not the ring in itself but perhaps a chemical reaction to a new dishsoap? Did you start using new shampoo? Any chemical substance that might come into contact with your ring. I'm thinking soaps because if you don't take off your ring to dry your hands completely that may be what's causing this contact dermatitis you are describing.


should i do fast track and if i do fast track don't you think its gonna be hard . iam thinking to take grade 11 biolgy, chemistry, physics, math, english, intro to anthroplogy what else can i take

What you have chosen sounds good.  In the overall scheme of things it doesn't matter a great deal what else you choose since you are only in 11th grade.  Just make sure you continue with sciences and continue to do very well in them.  Universities look at how well you do in your courses, not so much at which courses you do, as long as you have the required ones.  And you have the required ones if you have the math, the sciences, and English.  The only ones I would recommend are a psychology course and/or a statistics course if they are available to you in high school.\n\nGoodm luck with your future plans.


... and get 10pts at the end of the day.\nPlease answer before market open tomorrow, 9:30am ET\n\nWithout influencing your opinion, here is what I think, just for the record. I might be wrong :))\n\nToday was a strong finish especially for Nasdaq. I've noticed that after a strong pull up or down the market goes into a 'dizzy mode', i.e. a choppy session, perfect for scalping. The momentum from today will cary on but not much, I'd say Dow+10, Nasdaq+5 approximately, for tomorrow.


We've seen several shows mix-n-match over the years, everything from Vegas and Crossing Jordan, to the Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction.   What shows (past, present, etc.) would you like to see a cross-over?   For instance, Magnum PI and Jim Rockford teaming up to solve a case, or Jim West and Artemus Gordon showing up in Dodge City to help Matt Dillon and Festus with something.)

Oh, what a beautiful question!!!   \n\nI would love to see the cast of NCIS and the cast of the original CSI cross paths.   It would be hystarical watching Grissom and Gibbs working together.   It would also be hystarical watching Abby tear up the lab guy from CSI (the one that gets on everyone's nerves.)


I see a ton of people who say things like "Please pick my answer!" or "Choose me as best answer!" or (rudest) "Give me my ten points!"\n\nAre you more or less likely to select these answers as best, or is it irrelevent?\n\n[Me, I don't like beggars, so anyone who asks to have their answer be chosen as best will take themselves out of the running automatically here.  Thanks.]

yea those people suck its not like the pionts add up to much you should look only at how helpful they have been then choose me!


I'm a 38 year old man, divorced for 6 yrs, own my home, car , have a good job, etc... All the normal things in life. I just cannot find a decent woman that is serious. I work with all men, their all married, so no going out with them to places where women are. I would love nothing more than to be happily married. A telemarketer called yesterday looking for the woman of the house, and I chewed him out and told him that if he could help me find one, that I would buy whatever he was selling, he hung up on me???

You only get one\nshot at each pokemon, so good luck.  Also, if you don't find the cave/dive\nfast enough, it will end, and you will have to return to the weather institute.\nBy the way, you need a Mach Bike to get Groudon.\n\n(Courtasy of walkthrough below)


Regression analysis is very complicated mathematical/statistic analysis that is very difficult to describe easily.  R-squared is a measure of how closely an investment tracks the S&P 500 or other index.  While I am not a great fan of investopedia.com, they give some answers in this case.\n(These comments refer to investment analysis, regression analysis is also used in other fields.)


i just wanted to know how long condoms stay good?

depends on the condom. And you can not really tell when they were purchased. Only when they were manufactured. If the ones you found have not yet been used, then you must look at the package and determine if they have a spermicide or not. If they have a spermicide, the shelf life is normally 3 years. So they were most likely manufactured about Sep 2003. If on the other hand they do not have a spermicide, they normally have a shelf life of 5 years, so they were manufactured around Sep 2001. \n\nNow we can make a few educated guesses about when they might have been purchased. From the date of manufacture, we might assume that they were warehoused at the manufacturer for 30 days, perhaps only 15 though. Then perhaps they were sent to a distributor, or in the case of Walmart perhaps directly to their distributions center. The transportation would have taken maybe 2 to 3 days. Next they are warehoused at the distributor for maybe 15 to 30 days and then shipped to the store. Again, a couple of days for transportation. Now the question would be: How long would they remain on the shelf at the store. That is really hard to predict. Some brands move faster than others, Trogan for example. Lets just take a stab at it and say 45 days. \n\nSo working forward from the manufacturing date of Sept 2001 or Sept 2003, and adding 110 days more or less they were probably purchased in Jan 2002 or Jan 2004. Heck they might have even been a Christmas present.

I got a whole bunch of splinters from when I fell during football. I heard people just forget about the splinters and leave the splinters how it is. But I think the splinter has to come out sometime. What should I do with my splinters?

Soak the effected part in hot water, it loosens the skin, then use sterile tweezers to remove them, use alcohol to clean the tweezers and open cuts left behind from tweezing, sometimes if a splinter is really deep it will eventually work its way to the skin surface where you can easily remove it. It's best to remove them, infections can occur.

I live in a very low key town: it's very surfer/hippie and I'm wondering if I have to wear black pants or black skirts to a new job that is customer service/data entry that I'm starting or if I can wear my cordoroy pants and velvet pants.  I'm thinking jeans are out of the question.  Do I have to wear button up shirts only or can I wear a plain white shirt with cordoroy pants? (This is for a woman)

any kind of pants or skirts are ok so long as they look presentable, no holes stains ect. also you can wear sweaters, pull over tops button down shirts basically anything but a t shirt, and i'd stick to solid colors or stripes.

am not forgetting all but i can't remeber them so fast so what i have to do to promote my memory power thxs

It's not that big a problem, really. Lots of people go through that, and as any student will tell you, by the time they are through with any test or exam, their brains are racked to the utmost.\n\nBut a few simple pointers I can offer you: \n\n-try studying with a group of friends. You realize that when you learn together with other people, the conversational method and discussions will spur you to think clearer and retain more information, especially since you're all sharing what you know. Aspects that weren't readily clear to you might come from another friend.\n\n-write down whatever you have learnt. After your lecture or class finishes, set aside an hour or less than that, just write down in point form (or free form) whatever comes to your mind. You will find that you will slowly start organizing what you know, keeping in your mind fresh what you've just learnt, and can remember them days later since you took the time to learn them.\n\n-talk about it. This might bore your little sister or parent, but if it is a topic that is interesting enough, get somebody to listen to you talk. Tell them what you've learnt, what was fascinating (or not), or simply tell them the topic. When understanding of a subject leaves you, and is expressed to somebody else, you realize you know more, building your confidence, spurring you to find out more, and also remember them.\n\n-finally, its ok to forget. Go through them again, slowly. And relax. Go for a walk. Read in the park. Or listen to some music and have your favourite snack, chocolate or hot drink. :) It helps me.\n\nHope this helps.


I love getting a best answer.  And I really love getting a thumbs up from people.  This can happen to you tell me what you would change about America, and that I find your answer has the best argument.  Then you can get thumbs up if people agree.

Where to begin:\nI would change whole voting process and change the political parties..having 2 main ones is ridiculous.\nI would put a lot more money into public schools, and not just to the schools that score the highest on their scores..but to all schools.\nI would make higher education free for everyone..(as everyone has a right to an education). Take a look at schools in europe..students only pay for some books even if that. \nI would change the fact that so much of our american money is outside of the country fighting wars, when inside the country we have so many problems that need attention. \nThe list can go on and on...

If he really loved you why would he dump you for not kissing. Baby girl the only thing he loves is trying to make you jealous and seeing how neive you are. If he loved you why would he have gone out with your best friend or why couldn't he teach you how to kiss? You need to question your best friend because my best friend would not go out with a guy i just broke up with especially if it was for kissing.Sound to me like he doesn't love anyone but himself. Stop talking to him. Girl find someone who's going to love you for you and not because you can kiss or not.


Hi,\nI'm looking forward to attending an online game writing courses, but not game designing. I don't want to draw, do animation, program, or level design. I'm a screenwriter and I like to write at the comfort of my home. I'm trying to become a game writer, but so far I have no luck in finding good game writing book, besides David Freeman's Emotioneering book. If there is a book on game writing techniques, that'll be awesome. But it doesn't have to be.

mabey u should buy or download an oline word search or cross word puzzle maker and use that try www.ask.com and search game books or some thing


i observed people use it in different ways...

From the '80's..."Groudy" (pronounced grow-dee).


i'm doing gcse english and i need some help on macduff's character because i'm doing a role play of macduff.

he's the only thane who doubted macbeth from the very beginning.\nhe showed courage and loyalty to his country because he did not live behind any pretenses.\nhe had a feeling that macbeth "played most fouly" [banquo] for the title of king, and acted to correct it.\nhe went to england to call on malcolm and for help though he knew that this would bring him further into macbeth's bad side.\nhe did not wish to settle for a virtue-less malcolm when the rightful heir was testing him.\nhe was not afraid to show his emotions when ross informed him of the murder of his family.\nhe was also the one who was eventually able to kill macbeth [because he was delivered prematurely into the world through c-section, and was therefore not born of a woman].\n\none mistake i think he made, however, was that he left his family without protection and without telling them where he was going or the purpose behind it. i don't get why he did this.


Give me advantages and disadvantages of each

FAT = File Allocation Table\nNTFS = NT File System\n\nThe major differences (performance vise) are\n\nSecurity:\nFAT32 provides very little security. A user with access to a drive using FAT32 has access to the files on that drive.\n\nNTFS allows the use of NTFS Permissions. It's much more difficult to implement, but folder and file access can be controlled individually, down to an an extreme degree if necessary. The down side of using NTFS Permissions is the chance for error and screwing up the system is greatly magnified.\n\nWindows XP Professional supports file encryption.\n  \n\nCompatibility:\nNTFS volumes are not recognized by Windows 95/98/Me. This is only a concern when the system is set up for dual or multi-booting. FAT32 must be be used for any drives that must be accessed when the computer is booted from Windows 95/98 or Windows Me.\n\nAn additional note to the previous statement. Users on the network have access to shared folders no matter what disk format is being used or what version of Windows is installed.\n\nFAT and FAT32 volumes can be converted to NTFS volumes. NTFS cannot be converted to FAT32 without reformatting.\n  \n\nSpace Efficiency:\nNTFS supports disk quotas, allowing you to control the amount of disk usage on a per user basis.\n\nNTFS supports file compression. FAT32 does not.\n\nOnce you pass the 8GB partition size, NTFS handles space management much more efficiently than FAT32. Cluster sizes play an important part in how much disk space is wasted storing files. NTFS provides smaller cluster sizes and less disk space waste than FAT32.\n\nIn Windows XP, the maximum partition size that can be created using FAT32 is 32GB. This increases to 16TB (terabytes) using NTFS. There is a workaround for the 32GB limitation under FAT32, but it is a nuisance especially considering the size of drives currently being manufactured.\n  \nReliability:\nFAT32 drives are much more susceptible to disk errors.\n\nNTFS volumes have the ability to recover from errors more readily than similar FAT32 volumes.\n\nLog files are created under NTFS which can be used for automatic file system repairs.\n\nNTFS supports dynamic cluster remapping for bad sectors and prevent them from being used in the future.


It isn't the Vandals or Chris Ladoux versions I recall.

It's Boys Don't Cry. The song was released in 1986, and they went down as one hit wonders.


i'm writing an essay, and i have to compare and contrast advertisments that apply to both men and women. Like shampoo, and deoderant but i can't think of that many things that men and woman both use....

Cars, insurance, housing, food, grocerys, electricity, water, resteraunts, bars, night clubs, public transportation, vacations, holy crap if you can't think of any of that you need to study more and get off the computer... seriously, turn the computer off and hit the books.


Do you advertise?  I have read books, looked into websites and have studied this process but, I want to hear how real people go about finding and selecting their board of directors..  Thank you.

Board of Directors are a group of people who have something in common the incorporation of a company. You must first form a company with one or two person then you name a chairman, a managing director and a secretary. The sitting of these group of person to take some decisions pertaining to the functiiong of the companY normally called private limited company, is called a board meeting which automatically understand a Board of Directors. All this is written in a report called a Memorandum. hope this will be of help.


THE COMPANY SAID THAT THEY WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT GRANT PROGRAM. I WANT TO KNOW IF THE ARE REAL OR NOT.\nLION'S GATE FINANCIAL \n224 MADISON AVE, SUITE 746\nNEW YORK, NY

Don't believe that, and throw the postcard away.\n\nThe only legitimate sources of information on grants is 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 your objectives (if any).


Is the last scene of Yuri's brother tossing grenades into trucks of Yuri's munitions? Or did my movie screw up?

If I recall, after that scene where his brother Yuri dies, he goes back to New York and gets caught by that weapons inspector, "something Valentine".  \n\nMr. Valentine brings in Nicolas Cage into interrogation and Nicolas Cage tells Mr. Valentine that someone will come knocking on the door to set him free as weapons trade is a necessity in the world.  Soon enough, some army man comes and talks to Mr. Valentine and Nicolas Cage's character is set free, back to selling more weapons to world leaders.  \n\nSomewhat shocking, in a sense, because the movie is based off of real events.  Even if that's not what really happens, you cannot deny the amount of firearm in the world today.  Makes you wonder, do you feel lucky, punk?


Where do "many" deceived by "many" get law\nfrom "ye are not under law, but under grace"?\nIt's notably written to "carnal" & "bewitched",\nperhaps to denote there is no law in His Grace?\nIs God really as Schizoid as "many" depict God?

"Many" foolishly rely on ~cheap grace~ pseudo-theology that God's Law is not for them. It is a heresy called 'antinomianism' which means lawlessness - i.e. Torahlessness.\n\nLaw is liken unto a credit card - each purchase makes a debt which will be included in the next monthly statement -- each transgression against God's Law is condemnation... but God has sent His Salvation to pay the price for those who are faithful followers of the 100% Torah-observant Messiah. Therefore the Law has no bite for those who love God, love His Word, & seek to do His will "on earth as it is in heaven." Those who are rebellious & refuse God's Law will not be Justified for their LACK of faith... & they will pay the price for their sin with their soul.\n\nThat is a ~mystery~ to many who follow the pagan Cult of Constantine (the mainline denominations - e.g. Catholic, Protestant, non-denominational churches).


I have been in church my whole life and I just don't understand why ppl would just go out and have sex. Or make a big deal when i say that I have never had sex and I won't until the night I get married. I don't want my relationship to turn into an all physical one. So i just don't have sex, plus I'm not ready for it emotionally!!!!

i totally agree with you. people think that you have to have sex if you are in a relationship, but it's not true. i was with a guy for almost three years and we never had sex. im proud of myself for that because i proved to myself and other people that you can be in a relationship and stay together without having sex. Good Luck!


a. your soulmate\nb. the one that you love\nc. the one that you chase\nd. the one that you can't have\n\nplease give me your reasons too.

All four surely? The one you love should be your soulmate, who unless you are very lucky you can't have, so you chase them. Its the same person


Will intellegent machines created by man be Gods ultimate creation? I know this topic will be offensive to some, so please try to have an open mind and give some thought before answering.\n\n"Gods will be done, regardless our efforts."

No, Actually I think that reproducing, concious and self-aware machines will be more ultimate.\n\nTwo parts:\n\nOne . . . \nIntelligence, is measurable as problem solving ability. Perhaps ultimately as the ability to solve new problems. Important, but I think that there are more interesting thing in store for us in the future.\n\nFor example, machines would be able to reproduce, and to adapt as a group through the processes of mutation (mistakes in reproduction) and natural selection. If they are concious and self aware, then their behaviors would be quite difficult to predict in different environments.\n\nTwo . . . \nPerhaps then we will have created something that can qualify as alive. Whether a supreme deity (I will use god in the generic sense rather than God in the specific sense, because I think this debate is applicable to many different interpretations of god.)\n\nDoes god take responsibility for man's creations? Though god may take responsibility for creating a world with disease, suffering, etc, Does god take responsibility for murder, war, genocide etc.? If god takes credit for man's creations then yes, god is ultimately responsible for these things by giving man the choice and ability to make these thing happen . . . and god would be responsible and credited for intelligent of living machines that were made by the hands of man.\n\nHowever, if god is not responsible for murder, war, genocide etc. then god would also not be responsible for man making an intelligent machine.\n\nA god can't have it both ways . . . either he's responsible for all of humanity's actions and creations or none of them.

My grandmother died about 3 weeks ago and i am still struggling with accepting it. I am deeply depressed and in desprete need of some kind of copeing skill. I find myself crying over the smallest things and just need something to keep me from beig so sensitive. Normally i would turn to church but i just had a fallout with them as well.

Is It Normal to Feel This Way?\n \n \n \n\n\nA BEREAVED person writes: "As a child in England, I was taught not to express my feelings in public. I can remember my father, an ex-military man, saying to me through clenched teeth, 'Don't you cry!' when something had caused me pain. I cannot recall whether my mother ever kissed or hugged any of us kids (there were four of us). I was 56 when I saw my father die. I felt a tremendous loss. Yet, at first, I was unable to weep."\n\nIn some cultures, people express their feelings openly. Whether they are happy or sad, others know how they feel. On the other hand, in some parts of the world, notably in northern Europe and Britain, people, especially men, have been conditioned to hide their feelings, to suppress their emotions, to keep a stiff upper lip and not wear their hearts on their sleeves. But when you have suffered the loss of a dear one, is it somehow wrong to express your grief? What does the Bible say?\n \n\n\nThose Who Wept in the Bible\n \n \n\n\nThe Bible was written by Hebrews of the eastern Mediterranean region, who were expressive people. It contains many examples of individuals who openly showed their grief. King David mourned the loss of his murdered son Amnon. In fact, he "wept with a very great weeping." (2 Samuel 13:28-39) He even grieved at the loss of his treacherous son Absalom, who had tried to usurp the kingship. The Bible account tells us: "Then [David] the king became disturbed and went up to the roof chamber over the gateway and gave way to weeping; and this is what he said as he walked: 'My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! O that I might have died, I myself, instead of you, Absalom my son, my son!'" (2 Samuel 18:33) David mourned like any normal father. And how many times have parents wished they could have died in place of their children! It seems so unnatural for a child to die before a parent.\n\nHow did Jesus react to the death of his friend Lazarus? He wept on nearing his tomb. (John 11:30-38) Later, Mary Magdalene wept as she neared Jesus' sepulcher. (John 20:11-16) True, a Christian with an understanding of the Bible's resurrection hope does not grieve inconsolably, as some do who do not have a clear Bible basis for their beliefs regarding the condition of the dead. But as a human with normal feelings, the true Christian, even with the hope of the resurrection, does grieve and does mourn the loss of any loved one.—1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14.\n \n\n\nTo Weep or Not to Weep\n \n \n\n\nWhat about our reactions today? Do you find it difficult or embarrassing to show your feelings? What do counselors recommend? Their modern views often merely echo the Bible's ancient inspired wisdom. They say that we should express our grief, not repress it. This reminds us of faithful men of old, such as Job, David, and Jeremiah, whose expressions of grief are found in the Bible. They certainly did not bottle up their feelings. Therefore, it is not wise to cut yourself off from people. (Proverbs 18:1) Of course, mourning is expressed in different ways in different cultures, also depending on the prevalent religious beliefs.*\n\n\nWhat if you feel like weeping? It is part of human nature to weep. Recall again the occasion of Lazarus' death, when Jesus "groaned in the spirit and . . . gave way to tears." (John 11:33, 35) He thus showed that weeping is a normal reaction to the death of a loved one.\n\nThis is supported by the case of a mother, Anne, who had lost her baby Rachel to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Her husband commented: "The surprising thing was that neither Anne nor I cried at the funeral. Everyone else was weeping." To this, Anne responded: "Yes, but I have done plenty of crying for both of us. I think it really hit me a few weeks after the tragedy, when I was finally alone one day in the house. I cried all day long. But I believe it helped me. I felt better


i got a problem with people messing with my computer and i just want to cetch them and see what they are doing and they also seem to like to break in my home and go thrue stuff and take things that are small and petty and it has been bugging me for months now. i want to proove it in a slick way. i want to find some kind of freeware or cost free shareware that can be sound activated and record audio and vidio when sound is detected and after "x" amount of time , shut off automaticly. i want it hidden,(if possable,) and aible to record over 4 hours of vidio and sound, WE NEED HELP!!! we dont have the money for survailence and the police wont help without evedence and this would help greatly. there is a small, almoste hidden sighn on the door that states a warning and it dosent work. i have a thinkpad, windows xp pro. and a microphone and vidio recorder in one. this should help a little, even if i have to write it it would be nice to know wear i can find reascources and help in doing it.

I have a labtech quickcam.  The program that came with it has motion detection.  It will only record when something in the room is detected by the webcam or by sound.  It has different levels of sound and motion.  It only costed me $20 for the cam, but I wouldn't recommend using this camerea for survailence, because the details are not good enough in the dark.  I just bought it to chat with other people.  Since you already have a cam.  Try this:\n\nDo a search on yahoo! for: motion detection software\n\nYou'll be able to find some free trial software version for this.  Good luck catching them.


when i try to prepare a tin chloride solution i get a white, milky liquid. Though I know I'm supposed to get a yellow liquid. Am I missing something?

Tin(II) chloride (stannous chloride) is a white crystalline solid with the formula SnCl2. It forms a stable dihydrate, but aqueous solutions tend to undergo hydrolysis, particularly if hot. SnCl2 is widely used as a reducing agent (in acid solution), and in electrolytic baths for tin-plating. Tin(II) chloride should not be confused with the other chloride of tin, tin(IV) chloride or stannic chloride (SnCl4).

DON'T GIVE IN TO THIS CREEP!!!\nSex is only part of a relationship. It would be best to leave this clown as he has no respect for you at all!! \nIt's jerkwads like these that have given men a bad reputation. Not all guys are like this!\nYou sound young. Hang in there! The right boy/man will come along one day. \nDon't give up your values just to please some guy. You will regret it later!!!


I am talking about only using your keyboard. No using the Power Button on the CPU or the normal ALT + F4 method. Is there any alternative method? If so, I would love that you share it with me....

I'm writing a BIG paper for my final in a Great Books course. It's about biblical influences in modern film, specifically the movie 'Constantine'. Any general influences, underlying themes, symbolism, etc, that you can point out would be great! Any reactions to the movie are appreciated as well, other than telling me the movied sucked/rocked -- give me some reasoning.

Definitely catholicism as it tends to have more "rituals".  There is a certain tangability to catholicism with all of the rituals.  It communicates better on a visual medium such as movies.  That is why we see a lot of it.  Ironically, it is that tangability that makes it popular in the world.  \n\nThe movie obviously offered this hope that no matter what sin we commit, there is the possibility of atonement.  You notice that despite his motives to make up for the ultimate sin, he wasn't exactly living his life like Jesus.  There is some human truth to that; we're not perfect.


I'm going to highschool next year and I really wanna step out from my class-unlike I do now...I'm sick of being misunderstood just coz' I'm not popular...like nobody believes I do drink and smoke.

Being popular is completely uninteresting.\nBeloved is much more beautiful.


I dont know if they are common, but they call them hobby shops. We had 2 of them on my Marine Corps base in CA. but I havent seen any civilian ones. They are cool though, have all the lifts, tools and machines you need, and just charge a flat fee about 4 dollars per hour. If your close to a military base, make some friends. Otherwise I am not sure where to find them


Payne died yesterday afternoon due to injuries he received in a boxing match the following day. I would like to honor his memory and would appreciate it if anyone could share any information about this fallen warrior.

Please keep Kevin's family; wife, Jenny; son, Austin; daughter; Allison is your prayers.  As everyone gets back to their daily lives, these coming days are going to be the very hardest on them.\n\nI was sitting ring side at this fight.  To say that they are "questioning" whether he should have been in the ring is ridiculous.  Kevin has been boxing since he was nine years old.  If he had a "headache" before the fight, like so many of us do every single day of our lives, he would have never complained, as this was the fight that would have taken him to the level that he had been training for for some 25 years...he would have never thought it was anything more than just that, a simple headache.  Yeah, hindsite is 20 / 20.  But, he should be remembered as the Champion that he is.  He won that fight and nothing at all during the fight would have ever made you think that he suffered any injury that would take his life.  God bless him and his family.\n\nI would also like to say that his opponent showed real courage by coming to the Funeral Service.  He is to be commended for that, as I know this has to be tough on him, as well.


You're a princess, right. \nIt's 'cause you're special.


I love watching Who's Line is it anyway but I get the sinking suspicion that the show may be set up in some aspects- like the people never resist joining in and everyone knows what the genre is even if it is really bizarre. Plus I have never seen any skit that was a flop, which surely some must be. \nAnyone have any proof of my hunch or any websites that agree? Thanks for the help!

I've seen it live a few times in London; with some of the same comedians & some unknown ones doing it together. It's not set up at all, they're just very smart and funny people. The other thing to realise is that they probably record 2 hours or so - you see the best 20 minutes on TV. \n\nSeeing them live, there were a few skits that didn't take off, they seem to realise pretty quickly and move on.


yea,took the 2 vicodin..i've had 2 kids and this is more painful..i hurt so much..any suggestions? thanks...

Root canal treatment often requires one or two visits.  In my practice, the root canal that is done in one visit is likely to induce some post-op pain.\n\nThe most common cause for the post-op pain is the temporary filling is too high.  When you were anesthetized, you could not tell whether the temporary filling is high.  When the numbness wears out, if you bite down and it's hurt, then it is likely that the temporary filling is the cause.\n\nOther reasons include: root fracture, allergic or immunological reaction to root canal filler (gutta purcha), foreign material response, and incomplete removal of the sensory nerve.\n\nWhat you need to do is first to phone your dentist to see if   he or she can prescribe you some antibiotics (such as amoxil) and steroids (decadron).  You can take about 400mg of ibuprofen (advil, motrin) every 4-6 hours in addition to the Vicodins to alleviate pain.  Make appointment to see your dentist if the symptom is not abated within 24 hours.\n\nTo further reduce pain and swelling, rinse three times daily with warm salt water (a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water). To safeguard the tooth and help keep your temporary filling or crown in place, avoid eating sticky or hard foods (especially gum), and if possible, chew ONLY on the opposite side of your mouth. It's important to resume to brush normally, but floss very carefully. To prevent ejection of the temporary filling, remove the floss by pulling it through the teeth, not down or up from between the space between teeth.


i failed to pay a parking fine and now i need to go to  magistrates court    im totaly new to this and scared  would it be better to  run away/hide   i dont want to go to jail

I really doubt they will toss you in the slammer for a parking ticket.  You'll pay the fine and go with a good lesson learned.


Ok, it is hard being psychic. I would like a good book that is very detailed on how to develop telekinesis and telepathy. Also, i would like book titles for any books on elemental magic if you know any. I need to develop and control my skills so as not to hurt anyone. I AM NNOT OF THE OCCULT.

I know you can take off mileage, the actual doctors bill, etc.  I know you can take off gas as well but how do you figure how much to claim as far as gas.  Do they have a formula or something?? Worksheet maybe I don't know. Any response would be helpful

You cannot deduct gas for medical expenses. You may however deduct any uninsured medical you pay, mileage you drive to the dr's and to get prescriptions, and any medical premiums you pay with after tax dollars. Only a percentage of these are deducted and the total MUST be greater than 7.5% of you AGI(adjusted gross income). If you try to deduct these, then your total Schedule A MUST be more than your standard deduction or it's really a waste of time to try and get this together.


It was my favorite comic strip of all time...cute, thought-provoking, and intelligent... I think I'm going to go ask Bill Waterson to come out of retirement.

The greatest cartoon strip of all time. I remember when my mom bought the anthologies and I would sit for hours reading them. The best part about them was the factthat most of the jokes were meant for adult brains. I realized that when I read the one where Calvin is upset that McDonald's and Wal-Mart aren't available directly into our homes. Or when he offers a bowl of lukewarm pudding (signifying his liquified brain) to his idol, the television.


THANKS FOR EVERYONE WHO ANWSERED MY QUESTION. I'M SORRY DEVIL GOT HIS PANTIES IN AN UPROAR THAT I HIT THE WRONG KEY. I HOPE TOMORROW HE WAKES UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED.I DIDN'T COME HERE TO PERSONALLY ATTACK SOMEONE, SO ATTACKERS BEWARE. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

It's sad when people have so little tolerance and need to react and act on silly things.  Just chill out, everyone :)


I don't know anything about Stocks, what are they and how they work?

Buying a stocks is like you'r buying a peace of company.  That's mean you own a small peace property of a company.\nYou are betting on the future of company success.  If they fail or in some cases, they go bankruptcy, you lost the entire money.  Your shares become worthless. \n\nTo get started, you need to open an account with any on line brokers like Fidelity or Scottrade.  Some brokers required minimums to open account.  For example, Scottrade required $500 to open.  Once you activate your account, you can start trade online.\n\nIn your case, I would recommended you read a books on how to invest in stock market.  I suggested you read, How to Make Money in Stocks by William J. O'neil, and One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch.  My last advice to you is don't lost any money okay.


how was it started. how far back to the sun can it be traced?

Wave energy is used for electricity A line of floats are given a certain shape like an aeroplane wing placed in a pivoting position over water, as a wave hits one side it lifts and passes under lowering it this reciprocal action,in turn, turns a generator which in turn creates electrical power.


i love to read but i don't know what's good out there. please name your top three books that are must read..i'm only 15..

Ella Enchanted (my favorite book of ALL TIME!!) If your 15 you should like the 'Princess Diares' seris by Meg Cabot, those are really good. as well as 'Size 12 is not fat' (By Meg Cabot) It's a murder mystery. umm 'The secret life of bees' by Sue Monk Kidd is pretty good, it's about life in the 60's. If you like greek myths than the 'Myth~O~Mania' books by Kate McMullan, are pretty good, there the 'real' myths told her way. Very Funny. If you like Adventur i would suggest the Alex Rider seris (first one is called 'Stormbreaker' by Anthoney Ho...something)


He's extremely sweet. calls me every day we stay on the phone for hours. last night, we stayed on until 2:30 AM. Last night, he said that he was happy. and then i asked him why. and he said that it was because he was talking to me. I don't know what to do. He's 2 years older. and at this age, 2 years is a lot

It's ok to have a crush on someone older than you, I was a sophomore when I met my bf (who was in 8th grade) and it always feels like we're the same age.  But you should be careful, some boys can be real jerks, especially high school boys. so just don't let your guard down :)


Right now I live in Missouri (I've also lived in Michigan), and my husband wants to move to New Mexico. What is it like to live there? Goods and bads, weather, culture, economy, entertainment, ect. Thanks!

I live in Las cruces which is in the Southern part of New mexico. Here the weather comes in two levels: either really cold in the winter time or really hot in the summer. And Summers over here last the majority of the year. Temperatures usually average in the 90's plus it's very dry. In Las Cruces there is a high hispanic population, so there is a high influence of mexican food. This is definitely the best place to come for a mexican cuisine, best menudo and enchiladas anywhere in the US. And no, it's not a land of all dust and saloons and cowboys or whatever. We actually have normal towns and this is one of the most popular retiurement spots in the US. The traffic is not brutal like in many big cities and the homes are beautiful. The cost of living is low. Many homes are beulit in the adobe style with flat roofs. Yes, New Mexico is mostly desert but it is very beautiful, especially the mountains.


Ok, so i really love the spanish language. I am in high school and am in a spanish 3 (of 5) class. I really love the language and study on my own a lot too, i listen to spanish music, watch a spanish show that i have gotten into everyday, email people from spain, and starting next week i'm going to be helping these spanish children with their english. Even with all that i still obviously dont know a lot of words, and also cant recognize a lot of words and when listen to music/tv. Does anyone have any suggestion on how i can become more fluent / better at spanish? thanks!

You are on the right track I think.  First of all, you love the language, and this is perhaps the most important thing.  It takes a lot of time and patience to learn a foreign language.  Reading helps to increase your vocabulary.  Try searching for Spanish websites.  \n\nThere is a pretty good program which you purchase called VocabuLearn which teaches you lots of vocabulary for a language.  They have a Spanish version, and you can acutally download it from Itunes.\n\nHere is a website that gives some tips for learning vocabulary:\nhttp://spanish.about.com/library/questions/aa-q-learning-vocabulary.htm\n\nI find it useful to make a list of some vocabulary words to learn, or even verb conjugations or grammar rules, and put them in the bathroom!  Sounds a bit silly I guess, but this way when you go in there, you can look over the words.  This way, it doesn't take any extra time, and you will see them a few times a day.  ;-)  When you feel like you know the words off of the list, you can replace it with another list.\n\n¡Buena suerte!


alice of Alice in Wonderland said, if you drink from a bottle marked poison it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later

I agree with Clara Jane's answer [No, we're not related], but I'm concerned about where she put a few quotation marks.  Shouldn't it read:\n\n\nAlice, of <italics> Alice in Wonderland <italics>, said, "If you drink from a bottle marked 'Poison', it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later".\n\n\nReasoning:  the name on the bottle is before the break in the sentence.  And, what Alice said is a quote within a larger sentence.\n\nAgree?  Disagree?

i need to find the number or web site to the court in pittsburg,ca. so that i can notify them that i will not be able to appear to my court date for the reason of that i have a family emergency so how would i go about doing what i need to do?

Call the courthouse immediately, and speak with the county clerk.  If you have a lawyer, you will want to contact them first.  From my experience, the sooner you put in for a delay, the better.  Good Luck

Hi, I have a cambridge subwoofer and I need to know how to hook it up to my computer, it is a powered sub with one speaker output, I have the ac adapter, could you please help me?...thanks

There should be an input in the subwoofer that goes to your computer. The input cord to the computer usually has a green plug. Then you hook up another cord from the subwoofer to a speaker.


how do i know if this guy likes me even though he has a gf

try to find out if he flurts with other girls and not just you if he does then he just like to flirt alot. but if he only flirts with you then i guess he might just like you alot but maybe likes his gf better cause if he liked you more he would have dumped his gf for you. and to relly find out, if you relly like him to then ask him out.


I'm getting some but I just can't decide what color to get them in.

you meant the bands on the brackets?? my daughter has braces and her orthodontist has baby blue, light pink, white, clear, silver, dark blue, hot pink, orange, purple, black, red, green, maybe more, those are the ones she has chosen. they change them every six weeks or so when you see the orthodontist, she likes to go for Holiday colors etc.


this has been going on for about a month, but on a steady decline to where i'm cold all the time unless its 80 degrees, to the point where now the fever will come if i don't keep advil in my system. i don't like taking meds unless it is a dire situation, because i have a high tolerance for dealing with sickness. now theres coughing to go with it which has caused my throat to be swollen, and i'm trying to deal with allergies at the same time, i quit smoking a month and a half ago cold turkey after 14 years of it and feel good about that.

With all due respect, you should not be looking for a diagnosis on this site.  I am in the medical field, and I am constantly horrified by the amount of totally wrong information/suggestions that I see here on a hourly basis.  Even if someone says they are a nurse or doctor, you have no idea if they really are or not.  On the internet, you can be anything you want to be.  There are resources out there.  Go to your doctor, or at least call your doctor.  Many offices have nurse practitioners who can return you calls and answer questions.  Call the nurse at your city/county Public Health office.  At least you will know that you can trust their expertise.   I believe this site is useful for things such as…I have been diagnosed with such and such disease/condition, what is your experience with it.  OR  where can I find more information of such and such.  But asking people to diagnose you here is dangerous……


I did in 3rd grade. I'm rereading it now, since I forgot parts of the story- but I'm not that far. My favorite is Magicians Nephew I guess.


We used to get to all the time when we were little my brother and two sisters and cousins.  I have very fond memories of riding home from the lake at night in the summer, watching the fire flies in the woods.  \n\nAnyone else have this kind of fun when you were a child?

Oh Yes!!  My Grandpa used to put me in the back of the truck as we drove down the dirt road to the cow pasture.  There was a gate to open and close behind us every two minutes of the ride, so there was no point in getting into the cab when I could just hop over the side and do it.  \n\nThen when we got there, we would check the trot lines at the catfish pond and feed the cows.  What a very innocent time of my life.  I wish I could have it back.


I'm married and he has a girlfriend, BUT he is willing to do whatever; this I know...we've never had a "our thing" conversation, BUT..I feel like it's coming though....WHAT DO I NEED TO DO.......DAM HE'S FINE, much finer, sexier and more handsome than my husband. My husband cheated on me 2yrs ago, and more than likely still is.. but two lefts don't make a right.......WHEWWWWWWW

First off, dont leave your husband for someone who would cheat on their girl. He'll only end up doing the same to you. Once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater. The same goes for you. If you cheat now, you'll only do it again. IF your boss wants to leave his gf b/c he's been meaning to, then let him. And You should only leave your husband, if you were going to do it regardless of your boss. Once you are both free for the right reasons, you can also be together for the right reason - because you both want to be together & be happier than you BOTH were than before. It has to be equal for both of you, or one of you is going to be making a mistake. Hopefully you'll both be happy together...Good Luck!


I feel the need to be entertained!  Something interesting/funny that may have happened to you... any time in your life.

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.\n\n"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."\n\nPatty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.\n\nPatty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.\n\nThe frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.\n\nVery confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.\n\nShe finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."\n\nShe holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?" \n\n(you're gonna love this)\n\nThe bank manager looks back at her and says...\n\n"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."\n\nCome on now, you grinned, I know you did!!!

I don't think there is one.  Even if the report is free, they still want your credit card so they can start charging you after 30 days if you don't cancel the service.  Otherwise, why would any company want to give it to you for free?

Is it true that if u do weights for MORE than an hour that ur body will stop sending messages to ur muscle for them to grow if u go over the hour mark??????

First of all, your muscles do not grow while you exercise. They grow after the exercise is over, while they are recovering. This is why rest is very important. You should not exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. Give them at least 48 hours to recover, more if you work them harder.\n\nIf you go over an hour, you start to enter a catabolic phase. This doesn't mean you will lose everything you would have gained, but you maximize your gains by keeping your workout under 1 hour.


Or foods, drinks. do protien shakes really work??

There are no massaging techniques that enhance breast size. Usually when a women's body matures, her breast size will increase. From personal experience, taking a hormone product like Premarin will enlarge the breasts, as well as pregnancy. I would not recommend breast saline implants because there have been serious side effects from the saline leaking/bursting. Finally, getting fat will increase breast size and I would not recommend this either. I think too much emphasis is being put on breast size by Hollywood celebrities. If you want your clothes fit and look better, I suggest a padded bra. Been there, done that.


I really think the the Church of Stop Shopping is just a publicity stunt orchestrated by Reverend Bill and the Church of Stop Shopping Choir.\n\n\nFabulous Worship\n3 PM | March 26\nSt. Mark’s in the Bowery \nTickets are $10 but no-one is turned away.\n\nWelcome to the mass casting-out of Retail Sin and Chicanery – No Wal Marts in the five boroughs. \nWe believe in miracles. Our holy rolling can stop a bulldozer before you can say BIG BOX.\n\nActivists are gathering at St. Mark’s in the Bowery on Sunday afternoon, 3 PM, March 26. Can you jump and shout, clap your hands and sing?\n\nThis is the first performance by the preacher and the choir since The Shopocalypse Tour - 5,000 miles through the American Hell of Rabid Shopping. Instructive caroling and preaching was offered to startled shoppers in Chicago's Magnificent Mile, in the Mall of America, at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville – ending in a parade down Disneyland’s “Main Street USA” on Christmas Day.\n\nNow back in the Big Apple - the campaign to declare New York City a Wal-Mart Free Zone has begun. Not a Sam's Club out on some highway. Not one of those fake "Neighborhood Markets" price-gouging and fake-friendly, clearing the way for the superstore.\n\nLast year, the faithful in Rego Park exoricized Wal Mart from their Queens neighborhood, and they will receive Sacred Sainthood at the March 26 service. Change-a-lujah!

Sorry, I don't think this is a Special Education related question. Special Education refers to the provision of services to kids with disabilities.\n\nYou might consider resolving this question. So, people don't respond. If you pick my answer, people will not needlessly answer and it will provide information to people about what types of questions are appropriate for this category. That would be helpful.\n\nThen, re-asking your question under a different, more appropriate category. You might get more and better responses. I know it is sometimes difficult to find an appropriate category.\n\nGood luck with your question. I hope this helps.

You should just give it some time. If you stay true to yourself love will find you eventually. It might not be right when you want it to happen, but it will come. Don't go out there and start looking for somebody to call your own out of desperation because that could mean disaster. Just take care of you and be patient.

I care more about my first friend, but the other one hasn't got any friends and she really likes me. How could I convince my bestfriend that the other one isn't going to steal me from her? Lots of thanks to those who answer!!!!11

I had the same problem. my friend of 6 years kept getting really jealous over my friend of just 2 months. Every time she came close my friend would jump in and pull me away. Not only that she was very close knit. I mean when ever she introduced me to someone she would say "MY BEST FRIEND". It got a little annoying when she wanted me to do the same. It got really bad when she started to make fun of my other friend. That's when I told her, hey listen, you have been my best friend so all these years. And if you think that she is going to steal me away from you, then you must not trust me enough, do you really think i am going to drop you after so many years together? I told her that if i wanted to stop being her friend I would have stopped, but I'm still here. I think you should just tell it to her straight, and if she doesn't believe you, that's her fault.


i am unable to sweat, my friend says u need to sweat in order to lose weight. even when i do do aeorobics, i still dont sweat. i need to lose about 30 pounds i watch what i eat and i walk everyday.  thank u.

drink more water consume less trans fatty foods..have light meals and small healthy snacks such as fruits and vegatables...swimming is good exersize..also drinking more water and getting more of an aerobic exercise will help you sweat...you are not sweatting because you are not in shape and not getting enough fluids...8 glasses of water or more a day reccomended by doctors.

How much does it cost to get an implanted tooth?\nHow long does it take?\nHow many implanted teeth should one person have during their lifetime?\nHow many teeth can be implanted at one time?

the cost is about 1800-2200 dollars per tooth. It takes about 9 months to a year to complete. You can have all your teeth done if you have the money. Once again you can have them all done, but dentist would do them in stages, say top first then bottom, you will use a temporary denture until the gums heal.

Only by fear could the public be brought to accept the loss of their constitutional rights by laws such as the Patriot Act.


I've had three guys and none have ever been able to give me an orgasm but i can give them to myself..??

part of the reason for a woman to have an orgasm has to do with her own ability to turn herself on...in addition when the woman is being touched by the guy and she feels how much this guy desires her...that also makes her feel very femenine thus contributing to her potential to have multiple orgasms (5 to 8) in a lapse 1 hour.I mean there are many things in play here. to desire and to be desired, to love and to feel loved,romance(not for everyone),foreplay, fellatio,cunnilingus, touching, teasing each other...etc,etc.(if a woman is not in touch with her femenine animalistic drives that makes it a bit difficult for her) but there are also guys who really dont know how to please women so you get what we have here with you. Reciprocal attraction, sexual communication are very important to a healthy sexual and orgasmic relationship. then there is also that idea that to some women matters. meaning that some women girls...you know what I'm talking about (Size)...so I don't know how the shoe fits on you...good lick...i mean luck...I hope that you areable to get many orgasms.practice with yourself.


who else thinks victoria got what they deserved after the criticism that was dished out 2 years ago

I don't believe Queensland show any arrogance or unsportsmanship. It wasn't as if they batted for the whole 5 days which they could've nearly done. 900 is an incredible score and if Victoria couldn't bowl them out for less than 900 then basically they didn't deserve to win. Why give a lesser side a chance to win if they don't deseve to win????????? Congrats Queensland


I may be wrong but I think most women prefer a taller man even if they are much shorter

Some women don't care, but many of us do.  I am very tall (6'0" barefoot) and have trouble finding men that are taller than I am and I hate it.  I am just like most other women and want to feel that I'm with someone who's taller than I am and can give me a feeling of protection (I think it's also a subconscious domination thing).  A man who's taller that you makes you feel small and protected, safe... even a little as if other women must envy you for the man you've gained the attention of.  I'm thinking it must be a little bit of a primal thing... dunno!


I would like to know if somebody has a clear idea as to, why the people to whom you did a personal favor, instead of appreciation shows you a big resentment?\n\nI read once in a magazine about a politician who, when told that somebody spoke very ill of him, asked: Why, I've never done any favor to him?

because they feel like they owe you something and nobody likes debt. also it takes putting your pride aside to ask for help-they may just be disapointed in themselves for not being "perfect"..

I want to offer an ebook to my customer and it requires unique username and password to access it. I already have a list of unique combinations (username and password) generated from my ebook software and it is stored in a .csv file on my website. After order is processed successfully by any order processing system, I want to trigger a process.\nHere is the total process:\n-- After the order is processed successfully, it will capture that customer's data (like name, email, etc) from the order processing form or it can use any other method to capture customer's data.\n-- It will retrieve the first unused combination of unique username and password from the .csv file.\n-- It will deliver the retrieved information (unique username and password) to that customer by generating a mail or a autoresponder.\n-- The whole process works automatically so that once it is up it will work again and again without my intervention for each of my new customers.\n\nHow do I code the total process?

Opening and managing a .CSV file (flat file) from your application will be a lot more of a problem than using a database.  Especially if you want to allow your customers to change/modify the password information.  And, it makes it far easier to add, update and delete rows/columns in the table (like adding and deleting customer records or a password change).  I would suggest you pick a database of some kind (like MySQL, MSSQL or even Access in a pinch) and create a table out of that CSV file.\n\nAlso, as your CSV file grows, the performance to fetch data will suffer.  This doesn't degrade nearly as much when using a database.  With a database, it's easier (and faster) to fetch a row containing your customer's login/password information.  Then, you can use ODBC calls to fetch the data.  \n\nEven more than this, you can create relationships between tables to allow for linking your login table to customer data table, billing tables, etc.  So, if your customer goes delinquent in payment, you can easily lock the login through an accounting system (with the right table columns and coding).\n\nSince I don't know what programming environment you intend to use, I really can't easily give you code examples.  But, I would definitely start by moving from the CSV file to a database to allow for growth and easier management.\n\n--- Update 1:40 AM\n\nI would still use the database system because you're going to use the old ones up and have to add new ones (making the database grow).  I would add a column called 'used_flag' or similar and mark it with a 1 after that one has been used and a 0 if unused.  I might even add a 'used_by' column to mark which user received that username/password combination so you have a history in that table.\n\nSo you would do something like this:\n\nSELECT record_number, password, username FROM \nebook_table WHERE used_flag = 0 LIMIT 1;\n\nThis will give you the first row that contains an unused username/password combo and let you store the record_number of that combo.\n\nThen...\n\nUPDATE ebook_table SET used_by = 'user@somehost.com',used_flag = 1 WHERE record_number = 'XXXXXX';\n\nWhere XXXXXX is the number you stored from the earlier SELECT.\n\nThis update marks the password/login combo as used and who used it.  You can even add additional information if you like like date, time, order numbers, etc with additional columns.\n\nYou'll want to do these two SQL statements in pretty quick succession to prevent racing issues (two web accesses at the same exact moment in time) both getting the same record.  There are other considerations as well.  A database can help prevent locking concerns.  For example, a CSV file might be locked (at the file level) preventing other requests from happening at the same moment in time.  MySQL, Access and MSSQL can be configured to lock at the row level to allow other users access to the table while one user has a specific row locked.\n\nAll things you'll want to be concerned with.  With CGI, I would suggest PHP because it has PHP-MySQL interfaces that allow easy access to getting data from databases.  I can send you example code to do this if you need it.  But, I believe when you install PHP (either in Apache or IIS), the MySQL PHP portions come with very good examples.\n\nYou can email me if you need more detail.


When sending email, you must put at least one name in the "TO" box and then you can BCC all the other recipients.  Hotmail, among others, allows you to BCC all recipients, only showing "undisclosed recipients@" in the "TO" box.

You'll notice the little word 'BETA' right below Yahoo! Answers.  Perhaps whenever  Y! Answers comes out of beta status, that feature will be available.\n\nPerhaps a good idea to click on the 'Tell us what you think' link and make a suggestion?


after taking MBA(IT) exam. i was offered a post of visiting lecturer from private institute and there I offered my services for round about five months and then get other oppurtinuty in Government Post Graduate College Bannu NWFP.Pakistan. it is also not governmental post and payment is done per class system means each class per 200.

MBAs are a dime a dozen. You will have to guarantee your future by working very hard to keep your job.


My "friend" is kind of a dork and embarrasses me all the time. She also holds a grudge and has a "gettin even" policy. Is she really my friend? Why?

i dont think your friend is really your friend! if she  embarrasses you then she dosent want good of you! friends are suppose to make you feel good, not horrible!!!!


Or are you more interested in what people think about the question you posed?

I think most people ask questions with a sincere desire to find answers to their unresolved problems.  Some ask to be reassured, some to ridicule and some have a preconceived viewpoint and want to be vindicated.  Those people do not consider another point of view and are rather insulting to those who have a different belief.


I had a nerve repaired in left arm above elbo. That nerve controlled the movement in my left hand fingers, to open and extend. The operation was sucessfully 15 yrs ago .Except I don't get any excerise with it as I am left handed...I want to guitar but But I found it is hard to move my fingers on the frets to spread them wide enough. It there a exerise I could do to my them more plyable?

Not really sure, since you said it had been 15 years ago.  I'd get one of those handballs that you squeeze to strengthen the hand.
