u know what i alredy mean..\nthe things which both girls did..\nFINGER..

As I understand it a virgin is someone who has not had sexual intercourse. Therefore, the answer to your question is - yes. Finger penetration does not remove virginity. In certain societies virginity is tested by examining whether the hymen is still intact but this is by no means a fair test as the hymen can break via a multitude of ways. Going off on a tangent for a moment - its a shame that these days we hide behind technical definitions rather than concentrate on intent. A old girlfriend of mine used to say she was a ' technical virgin' meaning, even though we had never had sexual intercourse, she couldnt really classify herself as a virgin because we'd done pretty well everything else. :-) If you are still a virgin - wear it proudly!!

Remember to factor in the ideas that if there was no abortion what would become of all the unwanted children or the self induced abortions.

No, we wouldn't have to factor in the unwanted people if legs would be kept closed and there plenty of people who want but can't have. If self control was practiced we would have a lot less trouble with this topic. There are the few that get raped and whatever the other excuses are but there is adoption for that and as for health...my child has a right to live more than I do...abortion isn't really great for a woman's health either ya know?


Weigh it, dry it an oven for a few days, weigh  it again. Subtract the second weight from the first weight. That is the weight of the water that was lost.


Yes I would like to know whats the best way to get great ab in probably a month or two.. I'm still packing the ham and turkey from X-mas 2005..Hehehe please let me know

leglifts.  lie down on the floor and put your hands under your butt or tailbone so it won't hurt.  lift your legs about six inches off the floor and hold as long as you can!!  it's really hard.


I have designed a web page to display events posted. Each time if I add an event. The page not directly taking the information. For this I need to refresh to look the new added content. Plz give me the code so that the page can refresh onload.

when the submit button is pressed and you add the event in the same way you get the information to write to the database you should be able get that information to display it without needing an additional refresh.  If you do need an additonal refresh the easiest way is with javascript saying window.location.href="www.yahoo.com"


I'm hate the concept of globalization, and prefeer to return to 'wall' era or Cold War era.  People had their cultures more intact during that time, and superior nations controled inferior nations, and their was a bi-polar world with the two super powers.

Well, that explains why you'll spend the rest of your life online complaining about such things.


Brinksmanship diplomacy. They hope that even just the threat of their having nukes will cause other countries to bow to their demands.\n\nIt's no different than was the Cold War between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.


Here are your clues:\n\nBaby Blues\nBarney Google and Snuffy Smith\nBeetle Bailey\nBetty\nBig Nate\nBizarro\nBlondie\nThe Born Loser\nThe Buckets \nDennis the Menace\nDilbert\nDrabble \nThe Duplex\nErnie \nFamily Circus\nFor Better or For Worse \n\nThe question: What happened with each of these on the first of April?\n\nAnother bittie detail I should add- The fact that I included all of these should make your answer easier to find. ^-^

The Great April Fools Switcheroonie was masterminded by comic strip creators Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott, creators of the Baby Blues daily newspaper comic strip. A surprisingly massive undertaking, it involved contacting dozens of comic strip creators and had them drawing somebody else's strips for one day, April 1, 1997, widely known as April Fool's Day.


how do you think that your answer can relate to us and why should it?

Josiah's father was a wicked man who did not love God. But Josiah did and God blessed Him for it. Today, the biggest thing I get out of it is we are not saved or denyied because of our parents. We have a choice to make and only we can make it.


How can I help this because nail polish doesent help and i cant get tape or band aids to stick.

I know what you and chrystal_lynn are talking about. I have them, too... especially raw at my ears.\n\nOne way with the jeans button is to tuck your (t-)shirts (or an undershirt/ spaghetti straps that's long enough when your t-shirts aren't) in, that way the buttons don't come in contact with your skin.\n\nAnother way is to get prescription anti-allergic/ anti-histaminic topical creams applied on the area of skin that will come in contact with the button before wearing your jeans. Can't recommend a brand name of the medicine for you as it differs from country to country.\n\nI don't understand how come clear nail polish doesn't do the trick... because I have them done even on the underside of all my metal wrist-watches.\n\nHope these help. Good luck!


Have you had plastic surgery? If you have, then why? Was it because of necessity or was it because of cosmetic reasons? Have you any regrets?

I have breast implants, which I got about a year ago.\nIt wasn't a necessity by anyone's standards, but my own.  It is something that I wanted to do for myself.  I dress conservatively, and the only people who know that I have it done is my mom, my husand, and one of my friends.  I told no one else, because like I said, it was for me.\nThe only regret that I have is that I didn't do it sooner.

has to have 3 points of comparison and has to have in text citing.   any help will be greatly appreciated.

There were no African-Americans in the Major Leagues in 1920, so some could argue that the league was watered down with out the inclusion of some of those fine athletes.  Also, there were far less teams in Major League Baseball in 1920 than there are today, this could, in fact, be an arguement that it was more difficult to become a Major Leaguer in 1920 than today.  It is also important to bring up the salaries that the players receive for playing Major League Baseball.  For better or for worse, salaries in today's game are vastly larger than they ever were in 1920.  In 1920, many players had to have other jobs during the off season in order to make a living.  The off season training of today's athletes is also leaps and bounds ahead of where it was in 1920.  In 1920, the players simply played the game and didn't lift weight or watch what they ate.  Look at Babe Ruth for an example of this, he routinely crammed down hot dogs in between doubleheaders and was a notorious drinker.  Babe Ruth also probably never touched a weight in his life.  Could you imagine how he would have been if he had been on the sort of off season training regimine that today's athletes are on???  But that's another topic altogether.  Another thing to look at would be the pitchers statistics.  In 1920, pitchers were EXPECTED to finsh games that they started.  In today's games starting pitchers are credited with a "quality start" if they complete 6 innings.  The role of the bullpen and closers has also grown greatly since 1920 as a result of this.  An example of this would be how Bruce Sutter is the first solely relief pitcher to be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  I hope that you got a few ideas from this, good luck with your paper. I would think you could whip it out no problem on this topic!

I need to know because my friend is adopting a child who has tested positive and she will be bringing him home from Ethiopia soon.  I don't want to ask her, but I want to know what she will be dealing with.  I want to be the best friend I can be to her as she cares for such a sick child!

If the child is HIV positive, he or she won't last long into his or her teens. If they already have AIDS, then probably not past five or six. These are estimates, the actual lifespan may differ by a number of years.


I am an American citizen interested in having an Israeli dual citizenship.

As far as I understand it, you do NOT loose your U.S. citizenship by aqcuiring a second citizenship (like Israeli) next to it, UNLESS you actively renounce your U.S. citizenship. The U.S. does not recognize another citizenship, but does not explicitly forbid it. They simply don't care (at least as long as there is no conflict of interest arising from your second nationality, e.g. a war between the two countries of your citizenship).\n\nThe State Department has the information you need (see link below). When I became a U.S. citizen I researched it (since I have Dutch nationality as well) and those were the result I came up with.

At practice, I always finish last.\nBy Just Practicing?\nAny other ways?

You already know the answer, practice. Don't worry about being last. The more you practice the better you will become. Set small goals for yourself and slowly build up to bigger ones. Work hard diet right and the improvements will come. Talk to your coach and see what you can do to improve your stroke.\nA specific drill that I have my team work on to improve endurance is to take less breaths during practice. Assuming you are swimming freestyle, take a breath every 3rd stroke, then work up to every 5th stroke, then 7th and so on. This is tiring but it helps to build endurance. When swimming concentrate on your body position and stroke. As you take less breaths your body will be in a more streamline position longer. Work on keeping it hydrodynamic. Then when you swim normally you should have enough oxygen, more endurance and a streamline body to improve your times.

I have someone building a website for my business and he told me to find high end websites that I like so he can get a feel for what I like. How do I find high end furniture stores without knowing a specific business name?

You could google high end furninture and where to buy it...then click the links. Plus, you could limit your search by saying where in a general area you would like to buy this furniture. Ex. You could put "Expensive Love Seat from commercial furniture businesses" plenty of hits will come up. You could also type your question into Ask Jeeves. (www.ask.com) Many hits will come up.

Is my northern michigan BCBS Community Blue PPO policy valid in Oakland county, or is it out of network?

Go to the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan website to check for physicians that participate in your PPO for oakland county.  The web address is as follows:\nhttp://www.bcbsm.com/home/where_you_can_go_for_care/physicians.shtml\n\nUnder option D, select Oakland, and enter the zip code if you know it.  It will list physicians, and you can see if yours is listed.\n\nAs far as whether your policy is applicable, call the physicians office and tell them you have Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and ask if they accept it.  They will usually ask you for the information on your insurance card, and then they will call to check on your coverage.\n\nEven if they are not listed in the physician finder, ask them if they accept your insurance.  If they do, it means they will accept the reimbursement rate covered by your PPO (so you won't have to pay any overage).  However, you will still be responsible for a co-pay percentage, which might be higher for an out-of-network provider.\n\nI'm in a PPO with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, and the co-pay is the same for in-network or out-of-network.

I,ve read that Superconductors can be used to lauch satellites into orbit without the use of rockets. How is that possible

I've been reading about this in sci-fi books for awhile. It's a cool idea.  You've seen the mag-lev trains, the fast Japanese bullet trains?  They use superconductors/magnets to float on their rails and go extremely fast.  The principle for launching something into orbit is the same ... put the rails near the equator to take advantage of the location .. tilt them up like a huge rollercoaster going up .. and then cut off the end .. speed your launch vehicle up the rail on superconducting/maglev devices and away it goes into orbit.  They only thing you really need to get into orbit is sufficient velocity to counteract the pull of gravity.  It doesn't matter if it's rockets burning fuel, or maglev sending you up a rail.


Please only answer if you know for sure!

if you look at the sequence methane ethane propane butane pentane hexane heptane ... it goes from gas to liquid, as the molecules go heavier. now ethanol is lighter than hexane, so it is no wonder that somewhere there must be a point where alkanes have a lower boiling point than ethanol. exactly where is difficult to calculate from first principles but it must be somewhere. so why not at heptane.


I thought that the games went well and were very organized but I would not say that it was the best Winter Olympics I have ever watched since I have been watching the Winter Olympics in 1994. I would rate the Winter Olympics since I have watched the Winter Olympic Games in this order;\n\n1. Lillehammer 1994 – The Games of the XVII Winter Olympic Games\n2. Salt Lake City 2002 – The Games of the XIX Winter Olympic Games\n3. Torino 2006 – The Games of the XX Winter Olympic Games\n4. Nagano 1998 – The Games of the XVIII Winter Olympic Games

I think the winter olympics were pretty good, not the best I've seen, but still very interesting seeing new countries winning medals. What I was a little disappointed about was the performance of Bode Miller. He was portrayed to be very good by the media, but then screwed up in most of his events.


Including the cashier at King Soopers, my CUSTOMERS, random people on the street who see my ring...

Congratulations for starters.  People are very quick to be negative these days...so most people believe that your marriage will fail.  What is the fun in trying to be positive?  I believe that as long as you and your fiance truly love each other and realize that you are making a life long commitment you will make it through life just fine!  My parents got married when they were 19 and 20(because my mom was prego with my sis), and they will be celebrating their 25th anniversary this May.  No marriage is all kittens and cuddles...you will have ups and downs...and honestly it will probably be a WHOLE lot of downs that first year.  Just make sure you stick it out...ad always remember why it is that you got married!  I hope that you have a wonderful life with your husband!

If sexual gratification is the supposed reward for Islamic devotees in paradise, wouldn't 72 women versed in the arts of sexual conduct be better than the virgins that are promised them..???

Neither are worth too much the effort. While you can say the virgin will not stray, she may not enjoy it with you and leave, or she may enjoy it too much and want it more than you can provide.\n\nChances are whichever way you go, they are going to leave


i have a breast cancer with bone methastas! took a chemotherapy in 12 periods and herceptine in 1 years.now i am injecting zometa and its not certain period. may i know how i can have right diet?

You can look up info on the internet just by searching for breast cancer or cancer as the topic.  To find someone to talk to in person call your local hospital for a reference to an organiztion that deals with cancer patients and/or surivivors.  Hospice is an excellent organization...They have connections to diet and holisitc treatments, not only for those who are close to death, but also for those who are full of life.  An oncologist is an expert in cancer therapies including a good diet to promote healing or to promote optimal health during chemo and/or radiation therapy.

I'm a new sprinter in track and field.  I run the 100m and 200m dash.  I was wondering what kind of shoes I should get, I anticipate the response being spikes.  But I don't know what kind to get.  What are "sprinter spikes" and how do they differ from "spikes?"

sprinting spikes are just specialized spikes. they are very light and aerodynamic, w/ little padding. as a distance runner, i have spikes that are suited to longer races w/ more padding and stability control

Is our lady of sorrows a catholic church located at 4801 west flager street,miami,florida

Most likely because most other Christian denominations do not name churches after Our Lady.


I had it for about 4 days now, and last night I applied the warm compress to it for about 30 mins. It is so painful to the point I was thinking about taking a pin and popping it. I know that is the wrong thing to do but I have a low pain factor.

First and most importantly, don't pop the boil yourself. It could get infected and cause way more trouble than you're prepared to deal with. Boils, just like pimples, are the body's way of excreting toxins and waste through the skin. The appearance of a boil usually means that there are more toxins in your body than normal and they need to be expelled. You need to deal with this boil and then begin to naturally treat your body to avoid future eruptions. There are a couple of links below that may help you choose a homeopathic remedy but for IMMEDIATE relief, you might want to see a doctor so that they can lance the boil. But keep in mind that lancing boils is painful and because of the puncturing of the skin before the boil has completely matured will most likely cause the bacteria to be pushed deeper into the skin therefore ensuring that it will reappear, maybe with more boils to accompany it. So that being said, you need to be sure bring the boil to a head. The second link gives great advice about how to treat a boil. For future reference though, taking vitamins daily to boost your immune system (multivitamin, echinacea, vitamin C, and vitamin B complex), drinking lots of water, and healthy eating will help your body fight off infection and expel wastes in a healthier (and less painful) way. Good luck!

I can't possibly be the only person in the world with the ability to write coherently. I know there are others out there...\n\nAre our school systems failing abysmally?

Let's start with Pr1ncess' answer:\n\n  "well cause their dumb" \n\nYou have to go no furher to figure out the the dumbing down of America starts with our youth.  This new breed of "me, me, me, and now, now, now" doesn't take the time to fully understand the long term benefits of hard work and a good education.  \n\nEverything they do revolves around shortcuts.  A microwave now takes too long to cook their food.  Spelling is limited to web jargon: LOL, coz (or cause as Princess stated).  Kids now post their homework in this site and have other people do it for them.  Yes, the education system is lacking, but this is more a sign of the times.  \n\nBy the way, Princess, it should be "Well, it's because they're dumb"  My pet peeve is people not knowing the difference between their, they're, and there.


He has tried different brands of everything(blades,soaps,shavingcreams). Why does he get them and how can he get rid of them?

There is a special product made just for men like your hubby.  It's called "Magic Powder."  Look in the men's shaving section at a department store or drugstore.  I'm a female and don't really know how well it works on men's faces...but I use it "down there" and it works great for me.

We hear alot about the gap between the rich and poor but i dont think the "gap" is as important as the "poverty".  Poverty in this country would be considered middle class or privledged in most other countries.

The poor in this country live quite well. While there is still a lot to be done to help these individuals, they themselves should be doing a lot more. Being poor, in my opinion, is a choice in most cases. Not so in most of the world, where conditions force billions of people to live many times below the American Average poor person. Work and resources are not available even to those that work very hard. In America, however, there is so much opportunity that to be poor is very hard for me to understand.


I am talking, real fine lines (like someone drew it on me with a fine point sharpie), and the size being small enough to fit inside of a postal stamp....so like 1/4-1/2 inch on all sides.  It's the chinese character for "tranquility"....and I am talking about the inside of my wrist.  Small and petite and very meaningful to me....what do you all think??  I ended up getting it on top of my big toe instead b/c my husband threw a fit about the wrist...he said it was tacky.  Any opinions???

I think a tattoo anywhere where it can be seen all the time is tacky. you never know when you will be in a situation where you wouldn't want someone to see it (a classy job interview for example). \ndon't get me wrong, I like tattoos, but not when they can be seen by everyone all the time.


Any suggestions on where to go in Connecticut? Has any one had a sponsored wedding in CT?

I searched on net and found that there are many movies and games are available for free download by p2p sharing.I tried to download but went confused between torrents and other stuff.So I want to know that what are torrents and how can I download files using them?

A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections\n\nis both the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution client application and also the name of the file sharing protocol itself.\nBitTorrent greatly reduces the load on seeders, because clients generally download the file from each other. The coloured bars beneath all of the clients represent individual pieces of the file. After the initial pieces transfer from the seed, the pieces are individually transferred from client to client. This demonstrates how the original seeder only needs to send out one copy of the file for all the clients to receive a copy.\n\nhttp://www.utorrent.com/\nhttp://www.Bittorrent.com \nthis program will help you downloading torrent file.\n\ntorrentspy.com\nthepiratebay.org\nmininova.com\n\nhere you can search for files.


does music effect growing patterns for plants

The reaction to music is an odd one. The "Mythbusters" did a segment on it once. It seemed that the more SOUND a plant recieved usually resulted in more growth. Therefore, yes music does affect plants.


whenever i get mad i always take it out on my lil sister im 16 going on 17 and she is 13 going on 14. but after im done i feel so stupid and i hate myself for doing it to my only blood sister, what can i do to control my anger... and i dont want to go to some anger place either!

The truth is most sisters do this to each other.  But you should find a way to stop, don't forget you're going thrue you're teenage years and there is alot going on that you don't yet understand this should soon stop.

plz ppl asap i need this by the end of this week got a 500 esay to do im confused bout it

Frankly I was not aware of this till now. But I did some 1 hour research for you question and here is what I found out.\n\nKennedy used "Castro-Card" to defeat Nixon as the Cold War was in full force. But he was unaware that the CIA had all planned and was more than happy to have the hawkish Kennedy to get elected.\n\nApparently Kennedy developed cold feet and tried to avoid "US Involvement" and did some utterly stupid changes to the plan which nothing but doomed the invasion. Its the worst fiasco to hit the Kennedy Administration.\n\nHere are some links with more material for your essay. If possible buy/rent that book "Decision for Disaster: Betrayal at the Bay of Pigs ". You will blow your peers' essays with your explosive view points...\n\nAll the Best. Please do message me as how you did and what score it fetched to you..\n\n.:Fishie:.


Would a degree from UK or Australia be better, or would a degree really not matter in Graphic Design?

I don't think it would matter. But, I think the UK would be quite the opportunity.Plus, you'll be earning money in British Pounds!


There was a Bible especially for women. Words were changed to include woman, women, and female, etc. among other things like saying Awoman at the end of a prayer. By the way, Satan's gender in human terms is "female!"

thats intersting and i honestly just got done laughing i love the idea and im gonna ask my youth pastor asap i think he would get a kick out of it


is a warp speed engine like on star trek a possible technology?  if so, how might such an engine be constructed.

I believe that warp speed is supposed to be significantly faster than the speed of light (given that they sometimes consider three light years a minor detour), and it's not possible to go faster than the speed of light.  The concept of manipulating space in such a way that they can essentially create worm holes it less unrealistic, but is still purely science fiction.

This all comes down to human performance.  The cast of likely culprits would be in the 100's.  Ultimately, if you want to be  a hard nose about it, it was the fault of the shift reactor operator at the time that it happened.

Its pretty clear that the Federal Government grossly neglected the people of New Orleans.  Should Chertoff resign because of his self-admitted mistakes?

I don't think so with Bush appointing god only knows it could get alot worse.


well a friend who is a devout republican stated "I can't wait till America is a true republic". so which republic should we emulate and why do people think they are republicans? i cant understand how any informed individual could call themselves one unless they are part of corperate america? please help me understand.

in The Republic, Plato illustrates a system of government in which there is a special class of Philosopher Kings who's business it is to run the government.  They are paid to do so, and can dedicate themselves to learning about laws and finding out what's best for the people as a whole.  Rome was a republic (for a time, before Ceasars took over and make it an Empire) with the citizens electing representatives.  This is part of the basis for the United States Government, which is actually a Republic. ("and to the Republic for which it stands...")  The fact that America is a Republic has nothing to do with the Political Party of the Republics.  Democrats don't intend to change our system away from being a Republic.  I consider myself a Conservative and vote Republican because I feel they're stance on financial issues is better.

I want the safest, and best way to get top dollar for my wedding bands. They were never worn, wedding never took place. I am not comfortable trying to sell them on ebay.

Either take them to a local reputable jeweler, or a pawn shop, or post a classified ad in your local newspaper. Or, best case, get a refund (or at least a store credit) from the jeweler where they were purchased.


Me and my B/F have been to gether now for three weeks and he always says he loves me ...but for the past two saturdays he has said he will come see me ..but both times he did not show up ....now i don't know what 2 think??

It means that your days as his number one have already ended.\n\nThe best bet, without knowing your propects and goals, is to be clear with him that you know what time it is.\n\nIt doesn't necessarily mean you have to tell him to hit the bricks and you don't have to get mad.\n\nWhen he sees that you are willing to tell him you KNOW the truth, he will react by being very nice.  He might make excuses.  He maybe will even confess and come clean with it especially if there isn't really much to say!!!\n\nBut the song playing on your jukebox says that he isn't your one true love.\n\nGood Luck

There's a hill between us and the airport but we only hear aircraft on occasional days. It's nothing to do with which way the planes take off or land, so I think it is air pressure causing an inversion effect or something.

The subtle differences in atmospheric pressure at ground level will not contribute to changes in sound waves. Although this is a viable concept because sound is a wave and the atmospheric pressure will change its progression through that environment, thus changing the sound and if our ear is in the same pressure the interaction upon our ear as well.\n\nI suspect other noises act as a source to drown out the airport noise at certain time and not at others. For example, in a crowded mall ever notice how hard it is to carry on a simple conversation with someone next to you, however in a quiet room you can hear you dog let gas go! Sound waves combat other sound waves, and the strongest will win. Strongest being in most cases the one closest to you.

Is God realy all that bad of a guy? Some of the accusations and questions I've herd regarding God sound like they come from people who haven't even cracked a Bible or sat through a sermon. What drives a person to hate God with out even fully understanding Him. Please note: I don't ask this to start a fire fight but to encough people to seek God out first then ask questions.

Well, the New Testament says why:\n\nRomans 8:5-8 \n5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.\n6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;\n7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.\n8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.\n(New International Version)\n\nThey are naturally hostile toward God.  We were 'all' at one point counted as such.  But God loved his creation... made in his Image... so much... that he died on that tree... to reconcile us to him.\n\nBesides... we are living in the time of the scoffers.  The Apostles told us that they would come.


A wife of a  man I was involved with who I kinda stopped when I found out he was married has called me to find out my relationship with her husband??  what do I tell her??

Tell him you are sorry and that you will never do that kind of a thing again. Never involve yourself with married people. Think about it this way. What if someone else interfered in you blissful marriage and spoilt it. Ask for her forgiveness and stay clear from such entanglements.


the best poem that will make a girl come to tears

l love this poem\n\nAs Days Flew By \nby Peng \nThe very first time I saw you,\nWas special how we met.\nYou took me by complete surprise.\nI knew my heart was set.\n\nAs days flew by, we talked again,\nBut you never seemed to care.\nI tried my best to help you out,\nBy a favor here, or a favor there.\n\nAlthough I made a fast approach,\nOur friendship grew and grew.\nI realized how deep I cared,\nBut the feeling I felt was new.\n\nIn time I became attached to you.\nFrom a hug, I wouldn't let go.\nI soon saw how close we were,\nAnd the feeling was good to know.\n\nFor you, I wrote sweet letters and songs.\nYou were on my mind all day.\nThe thought of sleeping was nowhere near,\nUnless I knew you were okay.\n\nIt hit me then, what I was in -\nA unique and precious love.\nFor the person I said was only mine,\nWas an angel sent from above.\n\nThe minutes without you turned into days,\nAnd the seconds with you flew fast.\nI could only wish to see you more,\nAnd make each moment last.\n\nThe times I spent with you,\nWere what made my heart complete.\nI knew one thing for sure,\nWithout you, my future was obsolete.\n\nAnd now, we love just the same,\nAs it doubles day by day.\nI stare deep into your precious eyes,\nYet I'm still speechless to what I should say.\n\nWith you, I'm in a whole new world.\nYou bring out the best in me.\nIt's hard to picture you not there,\nWhen you taught me who to be.\n\nYes, the road ahead gets hard,\nWhen things may only seem rough.\nBut because you and I try so much,\nWe'll stay strong and get by tough.\n\nThough problems may lie ahead someday,\nAnd either of us could be right;\nI promise to always be by your side,\nAnd I promise my heart, so hold it tight.\n\nAnd so, each night, beside my bed,\nWhen there's only bright stars to see;\nI pray that we may never give up,\nAnd will always remain you and me.


can you answer this question please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I depends what you mean by real?  Yes, they really are tricks.  They trick your mind to think you are seeing something different than it really is.\n\nWhen you see something "disappear" it doesn't really disappear into thin air.  You are tricked to believe you saw it disappear, but really it was simply concealed by some "magic" trick.  They all use different ways to conceal the REAL action.\n\nWhen someone is suspended in mid air, there is a hidden, concealed way to do it.  All magic tricks work by natural, but hidden means.  The better the magican, the better hidden it is.


I use Yahoo! Search every day and think it's at least as good as Google, but I can't seem to talk my friends into using it.  Why do you use it?  Why don't you?

The main reason I use it is because of the search history feature in My Web. When I forget what that website was that I found last week, I can see what I had clicked on back then in my search history. I do a lot of research on the web, and on many computers. This feature is extremely valuable to me.


A 5.2 m diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.60 rad/s. Its total moment of inertia is 2350 kgM2. Four people standing on the ground, each of 65 kg mass, suddenly step onto the edge of the merry-go-round. \n(a) What is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round now?\n =  rad/s

This can be solved by conservation of angular momentum.\nSince net external torque on the merry go round is zero (as it moves with constant angular velocity), conservation of angular momentum can be applied.\n\nInitial Momentum = Final Momentum\n2350 * .6 = [(2350 + 4*65*5.2*5.2)*(New angular velocity)]\n\n1410 = [(2350 + 7030.4)*(New angular velocity)]\n1410 = 9380.4 * (New angular velocity)\nThis gives the new angular velocity to be 0.15 radian per second.


get back into the school. please help me with advices

Most schools insist on their own testing and deciding for themselves what grade the student will be in. Parents often don't have a say. I would check with the school you are thinking of enrolling him in before paying for an outside testing source. If it is up to you or you just want to know for yourself, here are some resources:\n\n$$$$ ones:\nStandardized tests are available through Bob Jones University. The proctor must have a 4 year degree or higher and have been approved. This is not the university's policy so much as the standardized test suppliers policy.\n\nFree ones:\nMany curriculums have placement tests. One that is easy and free to access is at www.k12.com. You can have your child do it right on the computer or print it out. Answers and scoring are right there in the test material. If you know what curriculum the school will be using, check to see if that publisher has placement tests availble.


or have their been? For example, the most prominent one is the United States of America. And everyone knows about Mexico's formal name in Spanish, "Estados Unidos Mexicanos", which in English also includes the phrase "United States". I have run across a couple of other countries at least which either do have, or did have the phrase "United States" in their formal title, at least when this formal name is translated into English (I came up with a count of 6, but I have not verified this number). \n\nAt the moment how many places named "United States" are there, and what are they? How many places were named "United States" but are no longer?

at the moment only the good ol' USA is named United States.\nbesides the mexico example you mentioned, I don't know any others that were called United States in the past.


I have tried smoking but it didn't give me a rush or make me feel better, it just made me sick. Why does the nicotine do this to you?

Well I am a smoker and why can't I throw them away. Simple I don't want to. I really have little in life and though it is an addiction it is something I enjoy most times, though in all honesty not always, as it is also a habit. This is my choice and that is to smoke my illness has nothing to do with smoking and even had my neuro say that since I have nothing else much to worry about. "Smoke them if you got them" were his exact words. I also had a witness and no this doctor does not smoke himself. This is just one of few things I can enjoy and why should I deny myself a small amount of joy


I'm just curious as to why all or most barns are painted red?

Ferric oxide (rust), a primary component of red paint, is inexpensive and originally this appealed to the thrifty farmers of New England and New York State. Red is the predominant barn color in that region. Natives of these areas were the early settlers of the Great Lakes states migrating there via the Erie Canal and the Lakes. The early settlers brought their red barn tradition (and thriftiness) with them, and this was followed by the later immigrants who came directly from Europe.\n\nI have also heard that barns were originally painted red because back in pioneer days there wasn't much choice. Farmers used to make their own mixture, consisting of a nauseating blend of skim milk, lime, linseed oil, and iron oxide, better known as rust. "Hmm," said the anonymous inventor of this concoction, "this is not the milkshake I hoped it would be. But it might make a pretty good paint." \nIt was even so. The mixture hardened quickly and wore well. The red color was a side product of the iron oxide. After the advent of Sears Roebuck and modern factory-mixed paint, barns stayed red in order not to disappoint the tourists.


i want to know what exactly revolution meas

Revolution means to revolt or to overthrow authority. To rebel against. Example: The American Revolution, where the Colonies rebelled against the British for freedom. 1776 we gained our independence.Exact meaning: The overthrow of one govt.&it's replacement w/ another...


I have read both, but suspect an error somewhere.

Serum albumin, as the most plentiful protein in circulation, would certainly be affected by dehydration. Its relative concentration would increase, but its absolute concentration would remain constant.   Consider 1gm of salt dissolved in 100 ml H20.  The initial concentration would be 1%.  If the solution evaporated to 50ml, the concentration of salt is now 2% (relative) but the original 1gm (absolute) hasn't changed.


how do you draw pregnant girl. There breast and belly. For more than 1 baby. And how to draw big breast. Big and the biggest breast. Please tell me how to draw them. Thank you

Girls are one of the hardest things to draw- pregnant or not. I suggest starting with non- pregnant women. Look at the works of frank frazetta, see how he portrays women. Practice practice practice... Then surf the net- there are a lot of sites out there, with great nude (non- sleazy) pics- that you can draw reference to. They have many poses- I'm sure they'll have just what you need.\nGood luck!

so what?  let em think that.  if you have a problem with people shooting off their mouths about it, then maybe you're not a real friend, huh


2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China\n2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada\n2012 Summer Olympics in London, England United Kingdom\n\nI would like to attend the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and here is why. I would go to Vancouver because I enjoy visiting Canada and I have been to Ontario and Quebec before and Toronto, Ontario is my second favorite city in the world.

Though I have good reasons for all of them. For China, I would love to go to the far east and be able to immerse myself in the culture. For London, well..I'd like to see how true to the hype it is. But I would say hands down of the three, Vancouver, BC. I love and have for the longest time loved Canada. I've been up there at least 4 times now, and every time I'm blown away by the difference of the atmosphere of day to day living. The fact that it would be close by isn't really a factor for me. I just love good ol' Canadia eh!


my symptoms- 10 yrs. chronic neck pain not cleared up by months of PT/acupuncture/anti-inflamms.; headaches (muscle tension & migraine);\nTMJ;\nchronic joint pain - neck, back, hips, knees, ankles, toes;\nconstant total exhaustion & never feel rested after sleep;\ndepression/anxiety;\ndry eyes, mouth;\nvery low exercise stamina;\njoint pain worse after exercise, in morning;\nIBS;\nsusceptible to ankle sprains (3 in 5 years);\nsensitive to light/noise;\nsensitive to hot/cold weather & humidity;\nlack of concentration/focus.\nThere are also points on my legs that hurt a lot if pressed, but don't correspond to any kind of injury - it just hurts and has for a long time.\nThe second part of my question is: \nHas anyone who has this taken ACCUTANE? I'm trying to find a correlation because I have constant lingering problems due to accutane - chronic intercranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri), pressure/pounding in head, tinnitis, fatigue.\nTHANKS SO MUCH!

I have had Fibro since I was 16, actually 20 years now. It does sound like you have some of the symptoms. I am also wondering if you may have Rhuematiod Arthritis because of the joint involvement. Your headaches may actually be Cluster Headaches if they continue to reoccur frequently and you have a sharp pain around one eye. My clusters usually sit in the back of my head until a spike hits me in the eye (what it feels like). Also, these conditions can co-exist (you can have them both). I don't believe I have ever taken Accutane.\nFibromyalgia associated syndromes\n\nIt is not unusual for fibromyalgia patients to have an array of bodily complaints other than musculoskeletal pain. It is now thought that these symptoms are a result of the abnormal sensory processing – as described in the previous section. Recognition and treatment of these associated problems are important in the overall management of your fibromyalgia. \n\nNon-restorative sleep\nCognitive dysfunction\nChronic fatigue\nCold intolerance\nRestless leg syndrome\nMultiple sensitivities\nIrritable bowel syndrome\nDizziness\nIrritable bladder syndrome\nNeurally mediated hypotension\n\n1. Chronic fatigue: The common treatable cause of chronic fatigue in fibromyalgia patients are: (1) inappropriate dosing of medications (TCAs, drugs with antihistamine actions, benzodiazapines etc.), (2) depression, (3) aerobic deconditioning, (3) a primary sleep disorder (e.g. sleep apnea), (4) non-restorative sleep (see above) and (5) neurally mediated hypotension (see below). A new drug called Provigil is of some help when used intermittently for management of fatigue.\n\n2. Restless leg syndrome: This strictly refers to daytime (usually maximal in the evening) symptoms of (1) unusual sensations in the lower limbs (but can occur in arms or even scalp) that are often described as paresthesia (numbness, tingling, itching, muscle crawling) and (2) a restlessness, in that stretching or walking eases the sensory symptoms. This daytime symptomatology is nearly always accompanied by a sleep disorder - now referred to as periodic limb movement disorder (formerly nocturnal myoclonus). Treatment is simple and very effective – DOPA / Levodopa (Sinemet) in an early evening dose of 10/100 (a minority require a higher dose or use of the long acting preparations).\n\n3. Irritable bowel syndrome: This common syndrome of GI distress that occurs in about 20% of the general population is found in about 60% of fibromyalgia patients. The symptoms are those of abdominal pain, distension with an altered bowel habit (constipation, diarrhea or an alternating disturbance). Typically the abdominal discomfort is improved by bowel evacuation. Due to abnormal sensory processing these symptoms may be quite distressing to fibromyalgia patients. Treatment involves (1) elimination of foods that aggravate symptoms, (2) minimizing psychological distress, (3) adhering to basic rules for maintaining a regular bowel habit, (4) prescribing medications for specific symptoms; constipation (stool softener, fiber supplementation and gentle laxatives such as bisacodyl), diarrhea (loperamide or diphenoxylate) and antispasmodics (dicyclomine or anticholinergic / sedative preparations such as Donnatal).\n\n4. Irritable bladder syndrome: This is found in 40-60% of fibromyalgia patients. The initial incorrect diagnoses are usually recurrent urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis or a gynecological condition. Once these possibilities have been ruled out a diagnosis of irritable bladder syndrome (also called female urethal syndrome) should be considered. The typical symptoms are those of suprapubic discomfort with an urgency to void, often accompanied by frequency and dysuria. In a sub-population of fibromyalgia patients this is related to a myofascial trigger point in the pubic insertion of the rectus abdominus muscles – and may be helped by a procaine myofascial trigger point injection). Treatment: involves (1) incr


Hi all of you,\n\nI need help identifying two reggae songs.\n\nI've put both of them up here http://www.geocities.com/jasonmzs/\n\nThe songs play in the background and you'll have to listen to them very carefully and ignore the other talk. Both the MP3s are very short, so they wont take much of your time.\n\nCan you give me the names of these songs if you know which ones they are?\n\nThank you\n\nJason.

lol i have no clue, but the conversation was quite interesting lol


We had a home together, pets, a total life and committement, then about the time I ask her to be my wife (just after) she started driving a wedge between us.  Stopped talking honestly with me.  Then she started to ignore me for the company of others while I was a full time student and working full time.  Something she wanted me to do for our future life.  I lived with her, in love with her, while I could see love in her eyes for others, but I couldn't get her to talk to me.  I started having nightmares about her cheating on me with our friends and roomates, I told her this several times.  Each time she immediatly turned up the pressure in the house, intell I couldn't take it anymore.  I picked a fight about it and she simply says were better of wihtout eachother.  Over 5 yrs.  Our families, all of our travels, and memories.  She was so cruel to me, someone who never wronged her, she must be in love with someone else, right?  How can someone be so horrible to some one they say they luv?

It is hard to move on but if she does not want to be with you anymore then you can't make her stay. Maybe your accusations pushed her away or maybe she just was not ready and thinks that she may need some time. Whatever her reason, do not push the issue! If you worry her then that will only push her away! There is nothing worse that someone hounding you. Just let her know that you do love her and that you are sorry that things have turned out the way that they have and let her know that you will always be there for her if she needs you. Leave it at that! If you want her back then live your life, don't mope after her. I personally know how hard it is to lose the one that you love but once I started going on with my life he wanted to get back together so he then seen how it felt to be "on the other side of the fence".

Because this is America and even trailer park trash can become millionaires. She'd probably be on American Idol now if she hadn't gotten her start on the Mickey Mouse Club.

Is there any point at all to putting a braille interpretation of words on a drive-through ATM, seeing as blind people would not be driving? I have seen this before and has thrown me way off for the rest of the day. If you can think of even a remotely plausible reason for people to do that, please tell me.

I don't know how plausible this is, but what if the basic ATM unit purchased is capable of being outfitted inside a door way or capable of being installed in a drive thru... in this case, they would make one base model with braille than can be used in either situation.\n\nI must say I've never been to a drive thru ATM so I don't know how similar these units are to the standard ones. Here in Canada they don't do the drive thru bank thing at all...\n\nUPDATE: Remembered seeing this on straightdope, I have come back:\n\n"Drive-up ATM buttons are marked with braille because federal regulations require it. To be specific, section 4.34.4 of the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (Appendix to Part 1191, 36 CFR Chapter XI, issued pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) says, "Instructions and all information for use [of an automated teller machine] shall be made accessible to and independently usable by persons with vision impairments." Drive-up ATMs, unlike the walk-up variety, don't need to be wheelchair accessible, but the rules make no exception regarding accessibility by the blind.\n\nYou're now thinking: boy, those federal bureaucrats sure are stupid. Don't they realize a blind person isn't going to be able to drive to a drive-up ATM? Cecil reserves judgment on the stupidity question, but even if the feds weren't smart enough to notice this little problem on their own, there were plenty of poeple who pointed it out for them before the rule was finalized. The American Bankers Association, for one, asked that drive-up machines be exempt from the visually-impaired requirement, arguing that a blind person using a drive-up ATM would have to be a passenger and that the driver of the vehicle could help with the transaction.\n\nNo dice, said the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board, reasoning that driver assistance "would not allow the [blind] individual to use the ATM independently." This may sound like one of those absurd points of principle, but ATM manufacturers say a fair number of blind people do take cabs to drive-up ATMs, and nobody wants to ask a total stranger to help with a financial transaction.\n\nYour question does point to a more serious problem, which other readers have also raised: how the hell is a blind person supposed to use any kind of ATM? Whether the keypad numbers are identified with braille or not, there isn't any braille translation of the on-screen instructions, without which the machine is useless. Maybe, you're thinking, the problem isn't the brainless bureaucrats, it's the brainless (or cynical) bankers and ATM builders, who figure a pretense of accessibility will get them off the hook.\n\nBut that isn't it either. At the time the accessibility rules were written, and to a great extent still today, there was no agreement on the best way to make ATMs accessible to the blind. More than 50 ideas have been proposed, including a "talking machine," detailed braille instructions, an automated "bank-by-phone" setup with a telephone handset and a keypad, and so on. (Sample problem: if you use a "voice guided" ATM, how do you keep others from overhearing?) Another difficulty was retrofitting the thousands of machines already installed.\n\nThe bankers and ATM builders argued that the best thing to do was leave the federal rules vague until the industry figured out a practical approach. The not-entirely-satisfactory solution in the interim has been to (1) mark ATM keypads, input and output slots, etc., with braille, and (2) send braille ATM instruction brochures or audio cassettes to blind bank patrons requesting them. The theory is that while ATM operation varies from machine to machine, people conduct most of their transactions at just a few locations, the operating sequences for which they can memorize. The drawback of this approach is that you h

I was adopted as an adult.  Long story.  Can I get unadopted?

Yes. Here's the penal code for California, but i'm sure it's similar in all states, unadoption is near the bottom in chapter 3, but i'd recommend reading all of this:\n\nCalifornia Family Code Division 13 Part 3 Chapter 1\n\n9300.  (a) An adult may be adopted by another adult, including a\nstepparent, as provided in this part.\n   (b) A married minor may be adopted in the same manner as an adult\nunder this part.\n\n\n\n9301.  A married person who is not lawfully separated from the\nperson's spouse may not adopt an adult without the consent of the\nspouse, provided that the spouse is capable of giving that consent.\n\n\n\n9302.  (a) A married person who is not lawfully separated from the\nperson's spouse may not be adopted without the consent of the spouse,\nprovided that the spouse is capable of giving that consent.\n   (b) The consent of the parents of the proposed adoptee, of the\ndepartment, or of any other person is not required.\n\n\n\n9303.  (a) A person may not adopt more than one unrelated adult\nunder this part within one year of the person's adoption of an\nunrelated adult, unless the proposed adoptee is the biological\nsibling of a person previously adopted pursuant to this part or\nunless the proposed adoptee is disabled or physically handicapped.\n   (b) A person may not adopt an unrelated adult under this part\nwithin one year of an adoption of another person under this part by\nthe prospective adoptive parent's spouse, unless the proposed adoptee\nis a biological sibling of a person previously adopted pursuant to\nthis part.\n\n\n9304.  A person adopted pursuant to this part may take the family\nname of the adoptive parent.\n\n\n\n9305.  After adoption, the adoptee and the adoptive parent or\nparents shall sustain towards each other the legal relationship of\nparent and child and have all the rights and are subject to all the\nduties of that relationship.\n\n\n9306.  (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the birth parents\nof a person adopted pursuant to this part are, from the time of the\nadoption, relieved of all parental duties towards, and all\nresponsibility for, the adopted person, and have no right over the\nadopted person.\n   (b) Where an adult is adopted by the spouse of a birth parent, the\nparental rights and responsibilities of that birth parent are not\naffected by the adoption.\n\n\n\n9307.  A hearing with regard to adoption under Chapter 2 (commencing\nwith Section 9320) or termination of a parent and child relationship\nunder Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 9340) may, in the\ndiscretion of the court, be open and public.\n\nChapter 2\n\n9320.  (a) An adult may adopt another adult who is younger, except\nthe spouse of the prospective adoptive parent, by an adoption\nagreement approved by the court, as provided in this chapter.\n   (b) The adoption agreement shall be in writing, executed by the\nprospective adoptive parent and the proposed adoptee, and shall state\nthat the parties agree to assume toward each other the legal\nrelationship of parent and child and to have all of the rights and be\nsubject to all of the duties and responsibilities of that\nrelationship.\n\n\n9321.  (a) The prospective adoptive parent and the proposed adoptee\nmay file in the county in which either person resides a petition for\napproval of the adoption agreement.\n   (b) The petition for approval of the adoption agreement shall\nstate all of the following:\n   (1) The length and nature of the relationship between the\nprospective adoptive parent and the proposed adoptee.\n   (2) The degree of kinship, if any.\n   (3) The reason the adoption is sought.\n   (4) A statement as to why the adoption would be in the best\ninterest of the prospective adoptive parent, the proposed adoptee,\nand the public.\n   (5) The names and addresses of any living birth parents or adult\nchildren of the proposed adoptee.\n   (6) Whether the prospective adoptive parent or the prospective\nadoptive p

Traditional families are defined as a biological mother married to and living with their joint children, with no others living in the home.\nNon-traditional families are those with step children, half children, adopted children, unmarried parents and or others living in the home.

I come from a "traditional family", in two senses.\nI lived with my mother, married to my father, and three sisters.\nAnd besides, here in Mexico, "traditional families" keep a very close relation with grand parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and all relatives you can think about. \nMy mom has 6 living brothers and sisters, and i have a close relation ship with them, and their daughters and sons, and now with their daughters and sons - do the numbers -..\nAnd my father has another 10 brothers and sisters, and the same with them. \nI still have 3 living grandparents, and i knew almost all of my great grand parents.\nMy son - 10 yo - cannot remember all his relatives names.\nIs it "traditional" enougth?

Waves occur because of moving forces in Subtances such as air,water ,a rope or any other medium which has been pushed(disturbed)

Light is both a wave and a particle at the same time.\n\nLight is a form of energy, and depending on how you observe it, it exibits both properties of an electromagnetic wave or a particle (photon).\n\nElectromagnetic waves do not require a medium in which to propigate, they are a self propigating electric and magnetic field, allowing it to travel through a vacuum.\nEvidence of this can been seen in diffraction patterns, such as when you look at the rainbow effect on a CD.\n\nPhotons are a "quantized" amount of light.  These light partciles are absorbed or given off by atoms in something called the "photoelectric effect" (which Einstien received a nobel prize for).\nEvidence for this can be seen in things like LEDs or when you study the structure of the atom.

Is it below iBook, between iBook and PowerBook, or above Powerbook in features and quality?

What sf49rox said is all well and good, but the powerbook you're comparing with is a generation older than the current macbook. The new dual core intel macbooks will blow anything apple has offered previously out of the water. Now, mind you not as much as apple would have you believe (they advertise it being 4x faster). However, it will boast better power efficiency (longer battery life, or at least the same battery life with a more powerful notebook), much better multi-tasking (with two cores instead of one, multi-threaded apps get a *huge* speed bump), and some new and innovative features such as the new power connector - a very good reason to consider a macbook in and of itself. Other than that, it's your standard laptop, with the same ram found in other notebooks, a 5400 rpm hard drive, an optical drive, and a few periperal components. I personally feel that the new offering from Apple is an amazing package - pricey but worth it. Not to mention, with a larger monitor (15.4") than previous models and a rather powerful graphics adapter, this laptop is definitely up to the task of a desktop replacement.\n\nEDIT: you can see a direct comparison of a powerbook G4 to a macbook pro here - http://www.geekpatrol.ca/blog/89/

Arthur became King because of sword?only that reason?

One of the first mentions of King Arthur historically, is by Geoffrey of Monmouth, which describes him merely as a powerful warlord, that ended up uniting England tribes against oppresive invaders.  So historically, he merely had to prove his prowess on the battlefield to become king.\nHowever, in literature, for instance, in T.H. White's, Once and Future King, loosely based on the La Morte D'Arthur, Arthur is hidden away as the only succesor of Uther until he pulls the sword out of the stone.  This pulling of the sword out of the stone symbolizes his 'coming of age' or beginning of his 'hero quest'; (By 'hero quest' I mean something the protoganist must overcome, whether it be on the battlefield, succesffully fulfilling a given quest like killing a dragon, or gaining important information, knowledge, or skills, that will help him in fulfilling his destiny.


I need to convert meters to feet. I am talking about the height a person here. So 170m ----- 5 feet and  _______ inches tall? pls i need it now.

2.5 Centimetres is 1 Inch and one foot is 12 Inches and 1 Meter is 100 Centimetres so 170m is 17,000 Centimetres divide by 2.5 is 8,500 - 50% 0.5 = 25% = 8,500 - 2,125 = 6,375 Inches divide by 10 = 637.5 divide by 50% = 318.75 Feet! 3/4 of 12 = 9 so its 318 Feet and 9 inches.\nDo you mean 1.7 Metres? (I will have to study another hour.)So 3 feet = 1 Meter so Its 5 Feet 7 inches to work it out simply use My Logical Theroem so its 1.7 Meters or 170 Centimetres So half biggest so its 5 foot and then divide the 7 by 10! Blindingly simple!\nP.S I spent 3 Hours trying to work out a theroem, please give me a best answer and that will be much appreciated.


We would have the perfect relationship bc we never fight or argue and we always provide for eachother and tell eachother everything. So why would I not feel comfortable being with him for the rest of my life? I just do not think that it makes any sense.

I married my best guy friend and we were married for 8 years.  We had EVERYTHING in common.  Same taste in movies, t.v. shows, food, friends.  Only one problem, no sex.  We never had the chemistry that you can only have with true love.  We were always just best friends.  He never treated me poorly and we got along great and everyone thought we were the perfect couple.\nWe finally parted ways and are still very good friends.  I am re-married and he is engaged and both realize what we had was never really a marriage.  We got married for the wrong reasons.  I mean it's great to be with someone you get along with, but if there's no spark it's not going to work.  You will both be unhappy and always wanting more.  I am with a guy now who I enjoy being around and that challenges me.  We don't have the same interests, hobbies and friends but I am happier than I ever was in my first marriage because I am truly in love with him.  Sure I love my ex husband and always will but it's more like brotherly love than anything.  Hope this helps!!

1.when configuring a router,does it give that option of entering its own private ip ddress,gateway and public ip.2.pls i need a detail explanaion on the following options found on the tcp/ip property dialog box;ip address subnet ,gateway,prefer dns and alternate dns.3.what is the difference between being in a domain and beeing in a workgroup.4.what is  a repeater?.5.

A hub works at the hardware level (physical layer) and simply repeats electrical signals - whatever comes in goes out.  A switch works at a logically higher level (data link layer) and does not forward data packets out a port when the port of the target device is known - in other words, it's smarter and helps reduce traffic.\n\n1) I've never seen a router that doesn't allow you to program the WAN side ip address, gateway, and subnet, and the LAN side ip address and subnet.\n\n2) The ip subnet defines the size of your network (the maximum number of connections possible).  On the WAN side of your router, use the subnet the ISP gives you.  On the Lan side, I suggest that you code your ip addresses starting 192.168.x.x and use 255.255.255.0 as a subnet (there are a LOT of other choices, for a lot of oother reasons, but this sounds like the first time you're trying this, so I'm trying to keep it simple).  The gateway defines the address of a router that knows where to forward things you don't.  On the WAN side of your router, use the gateway the ISP gives you.  On the LAN side of the router, the gateway IS the router's LAN ip address.  The DNS are two addresses where a "smart computer" lives that can translate logical names (like www.yahoo.com) to ip addresses (like 214.56.78.211).  On the WAN side, use the two addresses your ISP gives you.  On the Lan side, if your router supports DNS forwarding, use the ip address of the router as the primary and leave the secondary blank.  If not, use the two addresses the ISP gave you.\n\n3) You are only in a domain if you are running some flavor of Windows Server as a domain controller, and all client computers have to log onto the domain to get access.  These you see normally at larger companies.  A Workgroup is simply a bunch of computers on the same subnet with the same workgroup name (so that they can see each other).  You can have workgroups in a domain, but you can also use workgroups without a domain.  Most home networks and very small businesses share files using peer-to-peer sharing and workgroups, without using a domain.\n\n4) A hub is a repeater.  It just repeats the signal.  Now, if we're talking fibre-optics, you still have repeaters (they aren't called hubs), but they do simply repeat a signal.  All transmission lines have a limit as to how far they can run.  If you need to run them further, you have to enbed repeaters into the network.


I am interviewing for entry level positions, such as assistant.  I really need benefits though.

I think that it is acceptable to ask about benefits and pay. Otherwise, you cannot make an informed decision on the job being right for you. Just politely ask what the starting pay is for the postion and and what medical benifits the company offers and how long you have to be employeed with them before you are eligible to recieve benefits. You might also ask if they have a 401k or similar retirement plan. This will let them know that you are serious about taking a postion and staying with the company.


need to know how to print a copyright sign. a circle with a c inside the circle

If your using Microsoft Word, when you put a lower case "C" inside parenthesis (c), it automatically turns into a copywrite c.


I already have a second PC that is set up wirelessly. Will I have to make a totally new network? Or can I just add my laptop to the current network? I have trouble even getting a signal to my laptop which makes no sense because my wireless PC is much further away, and it works fine.

It depends on the type of connection, router and network that you have right now. \nIf you have DSL/Cable connection that is linked to a wireless router, then what you can do is just simply add your laptop to the router, it should pick up the signals and get connected. The total number of PC's able to be connected to the router depends on the capacity of the router. New routers normally have atleast a capacity of upto 10. \nYou certainly can add your laptop to the network by changing the Computer Workgroup. See this article for more information on that for a Windows XP system http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=295017\n\nIf you have a wireless hi-fi connection directly from your ISP then call up your ISP and get your laptop added to their connection. \n\nYou wont need to create a new network either way.


Initially the two flasks are both at 27 degree celsius and contain a total of 2 moles of an ideal gas at a pressure of 100 kPa. One flask is heated to a uniform temperature of 127 degree celsius while the other is kept at 17 degree celsius. Assuming the volume of the flasks does not alter, calculate the final pressure of the gas and the number of moles in each flask.

This question is based on the gas law PV=nRT where \n\nP= pressure in atm (1atm=101.3kPa)\nV= volume in litres\nn= # of moles\nR= .08206\nT= temp. in Kelvin (273.15K=1*C)\n\nand the equation\n\nP1V1=P2V2


It can be proved with the use of the integral, but you don't have to.\n\n1)The first some is n(n+1)/2\n\nTo prove that you can add all the consecutive numbers twice, but rearraging them, like that: 1+n; 2+(n-1); 3+(n-3)\n...n+1. Then you have n times the number n+1, which means that this sum equals n(n+1). But since you added twice the sum you wanted, to get the desired result, divide by 2.\nThus you obtain n(n+1)/2\n2)Prove (with the use of mathematical induction) that the sum of all cubes of consecutive integers from 1 to n is  \n[n^2*(n+1)^2]/4\n3)Elevate the first sum, n(n+1)/2, to the second power as requested. See that you get \n[n(n+1)/2]^2= [n^2*(n+1)^2]/4\n4)Observe that the results of 2) and 3) are the same.\n\nQ.E.D\n\nGood Luck.

I am a sophomore in college taking up Business Administration with a Specialization in Human Resources Management. Because it sounded good.And it pays good. But I want to be a columnist. I love to write. I want to be like Carrie from Sex and the City. Should I drop everything and change my major? To what?

Why don't you go talk to your advisor first to make sure you don't lose any of your credits you have taken in the first two years. I imagine you have been taking core classes which would apply to most majors. Secondly, why don't you look at a double major as a possibility. You can't have too much education. Remember that the "stuff" you watch on television such as "Sex in the City" is Hollywood made up stuff. It is not all that glorified and glamourour. We do need great reporters and writers but do NOT use Sex in the City for a guideline. You would be better off talking to a real journalist as to what to expect in your newly chosen major. Good luck to you and stay in College no matter what and get some sort of degree.


Probably not.  Even if they got married and stayed together, chances are one will eventually die before the other.

Let the share of each of your friends be denoted by the number x. According to the givens, "your" share is twice as much. That means, in our terms, it is twice is much as x, hence equals 2x. Then, you have 2x, each of the friends has x, the total number of their share is x+x+x=3x, according to our definition of x. So, their total share is 3x, your share is 2x, the total sum is then 3x+2x=5x.\nBut we know the total sum to be 125000. That means:\n\n5x=125000 Divide by 5 both sides and obtain\n\nx= 25000. Rememeber that we defined x to be the share of each friend, so 25000 is the share of each friend.\n\nBut the question was, how much is your share. As we said already, your share is 2x, in this case it means:\n\n2*25,000= 50, 000\n\nThat is the final answer, your share is:\n\n50,000$.\n\nHope that helps.

for the same reason they feel strongly about ANY of their beliefs, people usually want to share what they feel strongly about because their trying to make the world a better place. \nask yourself if thats why you feel so passionatley about this?\n\nalso, when people truly do not understand something from your perspective, have not been able to see it from your perspective, or share your hearts passion, they will tell you you are wrong.\n There are Christians that do believe that scripture has been interpreted unfairly for those who truly and deeply love someone of the same gender, focusing only on the act of gay sex, and not the love. After all if God is love, how can my love for another woman be wrong? And WHY wont Jesus come back and say, Not what i meant people!\nIf you believe in Jesus or are a Christian, just pray about it, to him personally, you arent going to change the world, but you may find a myriad of answers in your heart this way.\nThere is something ide like you to read however with an open mind, see if it makes any sense at all, you may learn a bit more about yourself, or why others believe what they believe.\n\nAttatched is the link, just click on the blue below,


animals has some simiralities to a human being.Infact,they have mouth and brains but why is it that they CANNOT speak?

Animals do speak, just not human speech.  Their vocal muscles are developed in a certain way to make their "language" possible.  Can you "talk" like a Bear?  Probably not. (I hope not ;-) \n\nAnimals "talk" to each other using sounds that may sound like noise/grunts to us.\n\nSome animals can be trained to make sounds to seem like human language.  The obvious is birds/parrots.  I have seen cats and dogs "talk" simple things like 'Hello', or even 'I love you'.


National Geographic had a program in which a man was placed in a space suit  and then parachuted from high altitude. I would life to find that story.

it is called terminal velocity, at one point no matter the mass, size or shape of an object everything will reach an equilibrium between the gravitational force pulling the object down to earth and the friction the atmosphere causes to slow the fall. If dropped high enough the rate of fall will be constant for any object, the best point to illustrate this is when parashooters all jump at different intervals but all reach a point where they are all falling at the same velocity and time.

I have a stored procedure in SQL Server which returns one field from only one random record. How can I fill the text of an asp label with that value (which is a string)?\nThis is how I call the stored procedure:\n\nDim randomMessage As New ArrayList\nrandomMessage = Ctrl.Message_SelectRandom()

You are returning an ArrayList, so are we to assume the field you want is in the first entry?\n\nlabel.text = ctype(randomMessage(0), string)
