when you push something your muscles release heat..\nrokets release heat...\nmotor engines relesae heat...\n\nIs there something that deliver energy but no heat?

Some systems actually cool as they deliver power.  A rubber band is most common example I can think of.  If you expend energy to stretch a rubber band, it actually heats up, but it cools slightly as it contracts, which could potentially power some small device like a toy car.  Why this occurs is a little complicated, but the exact same principle of entropic cooling is used to achieve the lowest temperatures currently possible.\n\n***Response to first answerer***\nWhat basic law of motion are you talking about?  The second law of thermodynamics? Because that deals with entropic differences, and doesn't apply. The "laws of motion" aren't even relevant to this thermodynamics question.  \n\nI used the example of a rubber band because it is a clean example of entropic cooling, but in fact ANY  heat engine will result in a decrease in thermal energy of the system. It's true that there is some heat produced from friction in the engine, but on a whole more MORE heat flows into the engine than flows out.  The average temperature of the system decreases. That's why we can use heat engines to power things.

When i insert a dvd you can hear the sound of the dvd spinning, then it stops and does it again for like 3 times and then it finally just stops and does nothing.

Verify the connection to the motherboard; uninstall it, reinstall it physically and then through software in device manager; clean the laser, and then, if all this fails, spend the $40 and get a new one!!!


I simply need to know how to stay above the water.  I can swim underwater with goggles-I just can't swim above water.

You should find an American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program. Most local pools and athletic clubs offers swim lessons to adults and children. Ask if their instructors are American Red Cross certified. That means they are proficient in each skill and stroke, as well as have been trained in how to teach swim lessons to all ages.


I think you mean "Where does it hurt?" which is a really funny indie movie he did. There's copies on Ebay, but not many. BTW, it's from  '72.


compare HCP to other options\nhttp://scpd.stanford.edu/scpd/enrollInfo/degree/

a great source i've found while searching the internet is the following link: http://www.tamuk.edu/aghs/careers/gradschool-print.html\ntry to read through it and you might even decide that grad school isnt for you. and there are also number figures that help estimate the direct and indirect cost of schooling...and remember oppurtunity costs!!! if you goto grad school you give up going to a full time job which actually will pay you...so think about those things and good luck...and good luck with grad school

What is the legal driving age in the state of NJ and NY?

I do not think that you get a full unrestricted driver's license at 16 in NJ.  I think at 16 you only get a permit, then at 17 you get a license but with certain restriction, like what hours you can drive.  You are also on "probation" as a new driver.


We all talk about the 'price of tea in China'.  So, what is it?

"The price of tea in China" is an expression which is used to denote something which is unrelated to the current topic of discussion.\n\nThis expression has stemmed from economists, who describe everything economic as affecting everything else, trying to find an expression which denotes the furthest logical connection from their current economic focus. In this way, the price of tea in China was used to denote the furthest possibility. It can also be used to denote an irrelevant topic.\n\nIt has the most common form "what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?"\n\nThere may be a second explanation.\n\nIn the 19th century the price for tea in England was the highest when the first ship with the newly harvested tea came in. So for the ship owners it was important to be as fast as possible back to England with the load, otherwise the cost of the passage was not to be recovered from the sale of the tea. Thus there were real races (the tea clipper races) where the sail ships managed to travel the whole distance from China to England in about 80 to 90 days.\n\nThe difference in prices from the first load to the later ones was so high that it was quite unimportant which price for the tea was originally paid in China. So the "price of tea in China" was something that really didn't matter for the ship owners. They had to have the tea in England as fast as possible.\n\nWe're still impressed when a person will not give something up "for all the tea in China." Recent times, however, have made this amount less impressive than in the past. In the twenty five years since the Chinese government reformed agriculture on the mainland, tea production has suffered in both quantity and quality.\n\nThis should come as a surprise to many observers. Tea almost naturally seems as though it would be one of the top success stories of Chinese agricultural reform and economic growth. Not only does it have a long legacy in China, but also its popularity is increasing dramatically around the world, making it a potentially valuable export resource. Yet, the tea industry is still troubled by finding the efficient levels of production and export that will make tea a consistently profitable commodity. Two experts, Dan Etherington and Keith Forster, have called this the "no man's land between the plan and the market."\n\n The Chinese government changed the way agriculture was produced in the 1970s and early 1980s. Previously, farms were state owned, and farmers worked together on farming communes. The government purchased all of the harvest from the state farms at set prices. During the Chinese Reform Era, the farming communes broke down and individual households and farmers could grow their own crops on their own land. Still, not all vestiges of the old system were lost as the government contracted to buy most of the harvest output from individual farmers and continued to operate large scale farm communes through the prison system.\n\nFor most agriculture industries, the new individual household farms have brought significant gains in production and profit. The institution of household farming and the increase in market freedom prompted farmers to adjust their production activities in accordance with profit margins.\n\nYet, the gains are missing in the tea industry. For example, with nearly half the world's total tea gardens, China produces only about twenty percent of the world's tea output. Moreover, in 1990, China's average yield of tea per hectacre was 500 kilograms. This yield is historically low. In 1914 - 1918, Chinese tea farms yielded 900 kilograms per hectacre. This yield is also low compared to other tea producing nations. India, whose tea plantations utilize modern agriculture technology and business practices, yielded an average of 2,000 kilograms per hectacre of plucked land in 1990.\n\nObservers can attribute these disappointing results to one of three problems


i love them! i wish i could be one, too.

The X-Men are the best.\n\nWhen I was a kid, I adored the Fantastic Four, probably because their close-knit family relationship is very comforting to see in super-heroes.\n\nBy the time I got to adolescence, though, I had much more in common with the mutants, who are just trying to do their best in a world that cannot accept them.\n\nThis has carried over into my adulthood. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Xavier and his students who routinely save the world even with protesters standing on the doorstep of their home.


Windows XP supplies the song 'Like Humans Do' by David Byrne by default. No doubt, the song has pretty good music. Why was the song chosen by Microsoft?

From the Microsoft Press Release, "Throughout his career, David Byrne has redefined the boundaries of popular music," said Dave Fester, general manager of the Windows Digital Media Division at Microsoft. "This is a great song, with wide appeal, and I think users are going to really enjoy listening to the song while experiencing all the exciting new digital music features of Windows XP."\n\nMore located here, http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2001/aug01/08-01DavidByrnePR.mspx\n\nThough, I'm not sure there is a very good reason for including that particular song, they could have chosen from millions of other good songs as well.


How will you get to work if you cannot take the train or the bus or drive or by any mechanical means? The bigger question I think is whether the potential MTA strike serve to bring to our attention how the surrounding suburbs of big cities only reinforces the insularity of the family nucleus dynamic of American suburbia?

basically, same bulls--t, different day!!!


Kaiser is hourly, the Carpenters Union is not. The Carpenters union offers a vehicle and paid gas. Plus you can drive the vehicle 50 miles from your home. - Kaiser is a helpdesk with some exposure to servers... the Union job is as one of two IT guys (doing all IT functions). The Union job provides learning SQL, VB .NET and furthering my Active Directory knowledge. Kaiser is basically a high paying help desk job. However, the new IT manager says that we'll be doing server duties in the future? I'm kind of on the fence about this and wanted other IT people's advice.. I've been working in IT for 10 years. My long-term goal is to become an MCSE (focused on Active Directory, Exchange and network Security). What do you think?

If your goal is to gain more experience, I think you would have better luck being a big fish in a small company wearing many hats than a small fish in a big company working a help desk. That is, unless one of the benefits of the larger company is paid training in the areas you are interested in. Be wary of future promises (i.e., you'll all be doing server duties in the future) as many midsized companies right now seem slow to grow or change their IT infrastructure (if it's not broke, don't fix it), and a smaller company may provide more opporutinies to introduce new technology and spearhead new projects (less red tape and politics).\n\nI suggest you carefully weight all of the financial, logistical (commute time, etc.), psychological (do you like the people, the environment), and career (where will I be in five years) factors before making a decision.\n\nJust another IT professional's two cents worth...


"Note that place names (e.g.: proper nouns such as Manchester) are never followed by the relative adverb where."\nSo, instead of saying "Come to Manchester where we will meet some interesting people", what am I supposed to say? Do I have to change the word order completely?

I have never heard of this rule before, and I'm a grammar teacher, so I don't think anyone will get mad if you violate it.\n\nHowever, the form of your sentence that would fit the rule would be: "Come to Manchester, in which we will meet some interesting people."\n\nIt doesn't really do anything for me, either.


trailors are owned,property is only rented.children reside on all sides of predator.county law says he has no restrictions on where he lives.need to know if mobile home park is allowed to accept predators when zoned family

No, your rights are not being violated.\nIf the County has no restrictions, the park manager CAN NOT legally refuse to rent to him based on prior convictions.\nSince a part of his parole and registration requirements are that he keep his parole officer updated as to his address and employment, I'm betting that it's perfectly within the terms of his release to be living there.\nTell your children not to be friendly with him and to tell you immediately if this man approaches them, but leave the guy alone unless he actually does something wrong.\nYou do not know the details of his case, for all you DO know, he was ordered to undergo chemical castration as part of his release or the crime he was convicted of was not quite what it sounds like...Bottom line, he did his time, it's YOUR job to teach your kids not to hang out with strangers and to know the difference between good touch and bad touch and the guy has to live somewhere, if he's keeping to himself, let him be.

I am interested in locating the Mouseketeers organization and getting information as to how they select their performers and when, how and where they hold auditions.

Not to deviate from the original question, but I can't help thinking about the "rights" of those child soldiers in Sudan... aren't their rights violated too? And there are many more... who do not have the access to our legal system to protest how they feel violated... or burnt by coffee... or...

I think it's better for you to stick with the original question.  Many people in many countries, like China or Sudan, suffer real religious persecution, for instance, and do not have access to our legal system.  The United States simply protected individual liberties better than any country in the world.\n\nThat said, Michael Newdow's rights have not been violated.  The Supreme Court has repeatedly articulated "standing" requirements for plaintiffs, which means that the plaintiff has a "case or controversy" under Article III of the Constitution, and the federal court system is authorized to hear that "case or controversy."\n\nSix principles have been repeatedly articulated by the Court in cases like Valley Forge. Three are constitutional: the plaintiff must have and injury in fact (actual or threatened, and imminent); the harm caused must be fairly traceable to the conduct; and a favorable court decision will lead to redress.  Three are prudential: no third-party standing is permitted on concern of the vigor of the litigations; no generalized grievances will be heard, since equal harm is dispersed among population; and the harm must occur within the "zone of interests" of the plaintiff.\n\nThe Lujan case suggested that the "generalized grievances" standard is more of a constitutional than prudential claim, and it appears that Newdow's claim falls under that prong of the test.  Nevertheless, under contemporary standing doctrine, Newdow's does not have a "concrete and particularized injury," but only a "general grievance" as an offended bystander.

An elephant''\n\nThis symbol of the party was born in the imagination of cartoonist Thomas Nast and first appeared in Harper's Weekly on November 7, 1874.\n\nAn 1860 issue of Railsplitter and an 1872 cartoon in Harper's Weekly connected elephants with Republicans, but it was Nast who provided the party with its symbol.\n\nOddly, two unconnected events led to the birth of the Republican Elephant. James Gordon Bennett's New York Herald raised the cry of "Caesarism" in connection with the possibility of a thirdterm try for President Ulysses S. Grant. The issue was taken up by the Democratic politicians in 1874, halfway through Grant's second term and just before the midterm elections, and helped disaffect Republican voters.\n\nWhile the illustrated journals were depicting Grant wearing a crown, the Herald involved itself in another circulation-builder in an entirely different, nonpolitical area. This was the Central Park Menagerie Scare of 1874, a delightful hoax perpetrated by the Herald. They ran a story, totally untrue, that the animals in the zoo had broken loose and were roaming the wilds of New York's Central Park in search of prey.\n\nCartoonist Thomas Nast took the two examples of the Herald enterprise and put them together in a cartoon for Harper's Weekly. He showed an ass (symbolizing the Herald) wearing a lion's skin (the scary prospect of Caesarism) frightening away the animals in the forest (Central Park). The caption quoted a familiar fable: "An ass having put on a lion's skin roamed about in the forest and amused himself by frightening all the foolish animals he met within his wanderings."\n\nOne of the foolish animals in the cartoon was an elephant, representing the Republican vote - not the party, the Republican vote - which was being frightened away from its normal ties by the phony scare of Caesarism. In a subsequent cartoon on November 21, 1874, after the election in which the Republicans did badly, Nast followed up the idea by showing the elephant in a trap, illustrating the way the Republican vote had been decoyed from its normal allegiance. Other cartoonists picked up the symbol, and the elephant soon ceased to be the vote and became the party itself: the jackass, now referred to as the donkey, made a natural transition from representing the Herald to representing the Democratic party that had frightened the elephant.\n\nby William Safire

I just need to find some football plays that are easy to remember and are easy to do. I really want to impress my brother and my crush by playing with them and knowing the plays and coaching. By the way, how do you play football? All I know is to run hard and talk trash!

more than likely if you are playing with your B/F and bro you wont have a full 11 man squad to run actuall formations.  I think the best way to impress them is to just talk the talk.  \n\nHail Mary - Very Long Pass\nAudible - Change the play\nScreen Pass - Quick pass that uses Wide Recievers for blockers\nHalf Back Pitch - Running back runs left or right and the QB throws an underhand pass to them.\nPlay Action Pass - QB fakes a run play then passes to a reciever

i'm trying to install your college keyboarding & document processing software and i can't get passed the setup portion of the disk

Hard to diagnose the problem with just that info.\n\nFirst, are you installing software from a floppy disk or a CD Rom?\n\nIf it's a CD, perhaps the CD drive in your PC does not have the drive letter d:\n\nOr if you have > 1 CD / DVD drive, perhaps you're using the wrong one in terms of one that's labled d:.  In my system, for example, I have d:, e:, and f: CD/DVD drives.\n\nIf it's a floppy, it's most likely a: or b:, not d:


I find that my sound balance (volume of sound coming from each speaker) seems to constantly be off even after manually setting it. This leads me to believe that there is a keyboard shortcut for changing this that I'm hitting accidentally.

F3, F4, and F5 generally control volume on a mac.\nMute, decrease volume, and increase volume -- repectively.\n\nI have had the same problem with out of balance speakers.  I know that if you go into the system preferences you can balance them manually (as you have already done, aparently), but I don't believe there is a shortcut key causing your problem.  The folks at the "genius bar" told me that my problem was probably a third party program that was adjusting things.

i need help finding a grant or fund to help w/ the purchuse of a computer for college

A lot of schools work out a deal with one computer company where you can get a discount for a computer for going to that certain college.  If you check around computer manufacturer's websites, there's usually a section to get discounts if you're buying for college.  Like for example, people from my college get discounts on Dell computers at the website.


was wondering what is the range on a wireless\nnetwork? is there a set distance or ?\nIm not too familiar with the wireless network, might be looking into setting one up.\nalso another concern is the security of a wireless\nnetwork? would need to have it as secure as possible!\n\nthanks for your time, all you experts out there :)\n\ndolan

Unfortunately, the above post is almost completely wrong.  WEP is broken, WPA, the succesor to WEP is much more secure,and used with a combination of a password from grc.com  The next 2 links are audio "shows" in these 2 WEP and WPA is discussed in length, as well as how to use it.  If you want it as "Secure as possible" this tells you how to do it.\n\nIf you use a linksys wrt54g with a hardware version below 4, (you can probably find one on ebay) you can upload a different firmware that will allow you to increase the transmission power of the router, such as dd-wrt or hyperwrt.  \n\nI have dd-wrt istalled ad it gives me about 250-300 feet, more than enough for my house, and my neighbors.  It is also possible to change the antennas of the router so that you can get a signal hundreds of yards away, or use a cantenna (google pringles wireless).


I need to know this equation for the test and it is a need-know to pass because most of the math on it declares it and its also very hard so i will appreciate it if i can get a thorow ( mispelt lol ) SCIENTIFIC answer......well atleast a damm good sensible one lol.

dimensional analysis is solving a problem by using the units of the terms involved.\n\nfor instance, since volume density has units of mass / volume, you know how to find volume density given a mass and a volume, it would just be: mass/volume = density.\n\na more complicated example force (F) has units of newtons. Newtons can be further broken down into the units (kilogram * meters)/seconds^2\n\nthus, if you know the mass of an object (kilograms), and the acceleration (meters/second^2), you then know how to put the two together to find force, it would just be:\n\nkilograms * (meters/seconds^2)\n\nwhich is mass*acceleration.\n\nthis type of analysis can be strung together to solve more complicated problems.


My daughter was a very dedicated employee at Dayton International airport, went to work on her off days just to help out, did whatever her job duties call for her to do ,a very repectful young lady that spent six year in the US Army. Nine months in Iraq. She was fired from the airport because they are told to keep money that they collect from customer in their pocket until the end of the day, instead of having a cash box for them to put the money in as soon as they collect it.  She forgot she had the money in her pocket three times and took the money home; therefore they fired her. Although she took the money back each time. She had been working there for one year and that is all they could find to fire her for.  She really need her job she have a 4 year old daughter that she is raising. She have bills each month. it's a shame when young people choose to get out and work and not be on public assistant to get fired for something like that. it's hard to find jobs.

I think it's sad that your daughter lost her job at the aiport, she sounded like a very dedicated employee willing to go the extra mile even on her days off.  But it is probably best she is no longer there because what you are describing here is that she was probably long past exhaustion each time she accidentally took the money home, although I am certain the airport didn't consider this when they decided to fire her.\n\nOn the WHY part of your question:  When she first was employeed by the airport she probably signed an agreement of "if I mishandle money in any way that isn't in agreement with the airports rules, I understand that is grounds for dismissal"  If she agreed to these terms and broke them, is was their call to be understanding or not. They were 2 times before, but when they see a pattern of it, they are less likely to trust their money is safe. They will protect themsevles before protecting her.\n\nI agree they shouldn't make it so easy to leave your shift without turning the money in first.  Just like with waiters and waitresses, or bartenders that most of the time must carry change on them, if the airport had an end shift report to do before each employee was allowed to leave, then it could all be resolved.  I don't know any waiters or waitresses that can leave for the day without giving the company their money first, along with reporting their tipped earnings for the day.\n\nHer honesty in giving the money back is something to be proud of, and she shouldn't hold bad memories against the airport for their descision.  She made a mistake, we all do that once in a while.  She'll find another job, and she will have this experience to learn from.


Being the mom of grown people. I've handled a pain or 2.\nBut now I'm stumped.\nPain on the left side comes & goes. But when it hurts it HURTS.\nAll the normal simptions for Kidney infection come out A OK.\nBloating is one of the discomforts. \nAny clues?

i dont know if you have kidney stones.  if you do, this is what you can do.  drink a 2 liter bottle of coke.  dont pee.  hold it for as long as possible.  if you really have to, do it some where in the middle and not at the end.  then, when u are almost done.  boil some asparagus.  once they are done, put them in a blender and blend them.  you should use 6 to 8 ounces.  once you finish all your coke, drink the asparagus right away.  hold your pee for as long as possible.  if you have to, let out a little  but not all.  eventually u will have to pee some time.  once you do, dont be alarmed if you see a sludge coming out, or if you see stones coming out.  this was found on a website where i paid 30 buxx. its better then surgery.  OR, you can boil celery seeds and drink as a tea evey night.  some people even eat watermelon till they cant take it anymore.  I looked up this information for my uncle in a third world.  however, there were no asparagus.  he drank like 30 bottles of beer and it came out when he was peeing.  he wouldnt go cuz he had guests.  finally he couldnt take it anymore.  he said the pain was the worst ever.  women say its almost like giving birth.  now he has no more pain and he is back to normal.

If its on internet and its free, it'll be better

honestly I don't know why you would want to do this, but the best way to learn a language is to go live in the country. If you can't afford that, take some classes, listen to tapes in your car, and above all, watch as many movies in the language as possible...that's a great way to hear the language spoken colloquially and get as close to the real experience as is possible in the confines of your living room


Just curious.  Me?  Lose weight.  5'6 1/2, 103...ew.  You?

I have decided no resolutions this year, don't want to stress myself lol


I have tried it a couple of times. I'd really like to learn snowboarding.

I was a professional ski instructor while in college.  I taught hundreds of people from age 3 to 84.  Some were very athletic and some were, well, not so athletic to put it politely.  That said, there is no set time to learn.  I taught an 8 year old girl who was a gymnist.  She was skiing advanced runs by the end of the day.  I taught a college age guy who could never grasp the basic skills to turn no matter what trick I tried during several different lessons.  It took me 3 years before I could go down anything other than a beginner run.  Two years later, I was good enough to be a ski instructor.  You just never know how quick until you get on the skis.  If you have a good sense of balance and good control of your body and feet, you should pick it up rather quickly.  If not, it could take a little longer.  If you can afford ski lessons, take them - private or semi-private lessons are better because you get more one on one instruction with the instructor.\n\nUsually, it is eaier to learn the baics to ski than snowboarding, but once you learn the basics of snowboarding, people pick it up a lot faster.  \n\nNo matter which one you decide to take up, enjoy!!!


I know GEICO left NJ previously because of problems with State regs and left millions of $ unpaid claims

GEICO used to stand for Government Employees Insurance Co.\nI imagine that is how they were able to walk away from unpaid claims.  Just turn it into a corporation.  Change ownership.


1.  Is the job of the Criminalist is to investigate properly the crime and should the Criminalist also concern himself with finding the truth regarding the guilt or innocence of the accused.

A criminalist is a specialist in the collection and examination of the physical evidence of crime.

who else other than me thinks brad did the right thing going with angelina?

What is the traffic like in the mornings going north towards the Perimeter?  Also is it busy, a lot to do?

Traffic is the worst in the mornings anywhere in Atlanta, especially going towards the Perimeter!  That is a nice area, and convenient to everything, but you will be dealing with plenty of traffic in that area in the mornings, usually between 8-10 and the evenings between 3-7.


To assess them to work in our training facility. We do real work and I want the best assessement material to use for them.

The challenge you're going to face is that the publishers of most assessments are looking for cash -- i.e. they sell their assessments.  \n\nThe easiest method for finding out about the existence of any kind of assessment is to go to a college or university library, and get a hold of Mental Measurement Yearbook (preferably online), or Tests in Print.

I knew a Deborah Wagoner in the late 40's and I'm wondering if she is related to him.


Is there anyway to find a phone number if i have a name and address? I got burned on a vinyl trade on a message board and he has since stopped responding to e-mails, maybe he doesnt have access to a computer or whatnot?

I would start very basic and easy.  Use Yahoo! People Search (http://people.yahoo.com/)  You can enter there name and city, state and if they are listed, there number should show up there.\n\nIf not, you can try a search firm like Intelius, who can do a search based upon an address and give you much more info than you are even looking for but it doest cost at least $7.95 to do a search.\n\nGood luck and my advice is not to make it too personal.  Lesson learned on your trade and make sure you only trade with reputable people in the future.


The burial plan was bought from the Koonce Funeral Home, 1221 N. Grand Blvd, St. Louis, MO.

The first place to check would be the Missouri Funeral Directors Association.  Even if that firm was not a member, they could point you in the right direction to find out what was done with the pre payment.  In many states, the prepaid funeral funds must be placed in trust so they are available even when a firm goes out of business.  I have information that shows their number as 573-635-1661\nThey are in Jefferson City.  You could also try the State Board at 573-751-0813


I have 3 cd's of red hat installation disc(red hat9.0)

I believe that the source actually appears on disks 4-6, which you probably don't have. RedHat has so many optional packages that the actual install download is three disks, and some installs do not even require all three. For the rare people who need the source, there are the extra three cd's that people can download. \n\nOtherwise, if you just want the kernel source, you might be able to try something similar to this:\n\nrpm -i kernel-2.4.20-18.9.src.rpm\n\nand just substitute the version number of your kernel which you can find by running this command:\n\nuname -a\n\nThe RPM command should download the source from the web.

Windows 98 I cant get my cut and paste to work


I see it all over the place.  Fat women who say they are a "BBW and proud of it", fat women that say they society won't dictate to them how to look, etc.  Then these same women make snide remarks about the thin girls, make fun of how they dress, etc.  If they are truly happy when they look in the mirror, why do they need to put another person down to feel good?

Being a BBW I never realized how much I actually do that. I think part of it comes from being overweight and being made fun of by thinner women. I also think it comes from fear and jealousy. I don’t want my man going to someone else, especially a thin person. It’s a feeling of not being good enough. It’s a fear of loosing to someone who doesn’t make you feel good. And yes in my case there is jealousy that you can be thin and I can’t. Well not as easily as it seems for you. I for one apologize on behalf of BBW's that have made remarks or made you feel bad for who you are. I agree that it's not acceptable.

I am curious as to other's ideas.  My ex-husband, a professional ethics prof, left me for one of his former students.  She was then 20, he 36. We's been married 13 years, together 15+ and it was very sudden.  \nShe knew he was married, and she was in lesbian relationship living with lover; never been with man. Huge power differential, and she is still a student so he pays for all her living expenses in the apartment they share.  She went from her female lovers place,where she dropped the bomb, to my ex's new apartment in one day.\nPart of me feels that it was a mid-life crisis, but he invested so much he can't ever tell me so or apologize to me.\nThoughts?  Know of similar prof/student relationships that worked long haul???

She could have been just struggling financially and looking for a sugar daddy. Or she might be serious about him, who knows. But even then they will be together for a while, but let's say in ten years she will still be young and he... not so much. She'll end up leaving him for a younger guy too, which will serve him right. Ethics professor my a**! I just hope you are not asking this question because you are considering taking him back after she dumps him. I assume, you are still young, so now is your chance to find someone who will respect and appreciate you. Let this jerk learn his lesson and hopefully he'll end up lonely and miserable, and you'll find a wonderful new man. Maybe look for someone who is a little older too. At least you'll know that you'll always be as young and beautiful as he can hope for:)


For cures of course, not just treatment.

Witch hazel and cortizone are the two most effective treatments. Surgery may sometimes be necessary in extreme cases. There is no CURE as they are just lesions which can be caused by many different things.


You get into a league(public is a random league, and private is one with an i.d# and password.)Then with a minimum of 4 teams, you can get a "live draft"(one where everyone shows up and chhoses their players on-line)or a automated draft.(each team pre ranks players and the computer determines the teams.)Then, you can trade players, claim them off the free agency and waivers, and then comes playoffs. The commish for private leagues chooses the playoff format. For public leagues, playoff format and point distributation is default. Whoever wins the playoffs wins the league! Have fun next year with FF!


I mean, the beard's his claim to fame.  Why did the Bombers make him shave the beard?

I think that's the rule the Yankees have you play for us you shave your beard thats why he did it if it was for any other team he would have kept his beard


I've been lazy sitting on my computer for the last few weeks that i have barely had any exercise. Normally i would play football 3-4 times a week which would keep me fit. What i've realised, when i start playing sport straight after a long break, my legs feel numb after the first 5-10 mins. I'm going to play football tomorow, how long should i excercise so that i wouldn't be too tired for tomorow's game, and what kind of excercises should i do?

Alternating between cardio and strength training can keep you fit but not exhausted.  The key to avoiding the difficulty of getting in shape is to remain active.  I know this is a lot easier said than done, but if you maintain at least a basic level of fitness you will feel better and it won't be as difficult when you are getting into shape for the season.

Don't stress it. Everyone has sex eventually. For the most part the first time sucks!\n\nWhat you want to do is find someone you trust and care about, develop a meaningful relationship with them. Talk openly about what it's going to be like and what to expect and whether the both of you are ready, BUY PROTECTION AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT, then when the time is right do it.\n\nThen keep doing it, alot. Do it anyway that you can work it and you feel safe. It's not a performance, it's a very serious joining of two people. It easier the more you do it. And you will get better and better. But ALWAYS BE SAFE! Always.


Would like certain people to have Domain Admin credentials but not make for themselves extra DA accounts or promote another account to a DA? Allowing only Enterprise Admins, or certain DA's to have these privileges.


Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Latin ect..

Japanese, the main reason for this is that it is a fun langague to speak, but it also allows you to work internationally, and then help whatever company you are in reach globally.\n\nPersonally, most companies where i'm from look heavily on people who know more than one language, and will often put them in higher positions to be able to use such abilities.


How can I do this without starting a payroll and still be leagal in Pennsylvania

Public executions used to be common.  How do you feel about this subject?

I don't think executions deter crime at all, and I don't know why public executions would make it any better, not least because there is no way to actually force people to watch them. The sort of people who would choose to watch them are the sort of people who wouldn't commit crimes.\n\nCanada does not have the death penalty, and yet has a third as many murders per capita. Also, the United States has a murder rate significantly higher than any of the other first-world countries, all of which don't have the death penalty. Finally, non-death penalty states have consistently lower murder rates than death penalty states.


They have a good chance as long as their defense continues to play well.


I have a website that teaches Spanish for free (http://www.spanicity.com) and because it's free I cannot spend a lot of money to advertise it. So, are there places on the internet or ways to advertise it for free (without creating a spam)?

I would go with Google Adwords.  This will get you some targeted traffic (resulting in people wanting to be at your site) and quick.  Be sure to monitor your hits so that you can shut it down when you don't want to spend anymore money.


I've replaced the batteries but the light won't come on. It started being awkward some time ago and needed several attempts to start the charging process


how much would I expect to make if I have 300,000 users on a website, where can I get companies to advertise on my site and whats the best way to advertise for them?

Generally it shouldn't be a problem to find ad agencies willing to buy your traffic or supply you ads for this relatively high amount of users. Consider joining third-party network, such as Yahoo! Publisher Network, Google Adsense, or AdBrite.\n\nIf they're 300,000 unique users arriving at the site daily, how many pageviews total do they generate? Tha rates of $1-2 per 1,000 pageviews are not that hard to get.


I know the easiest way of determining if an integer X is prime is to try every integer Y up to sqrt(X), and if X modulo Y = 0, then X is composite. That's very basic.\n\nWhat I want to know is, how do I test for primality faster than this? It's easy to generate a prime number - they're found at N!+1 where N is a positive integer. For instance, 9996!+1 is an extremely large prime. One would think the inverse of this function would be simple, and it is... but not all primes are found this way. For instance, 5 is prime but 4 is not the result of a factorial.\n\nSo... what's the quickest way to determine if a number is prime (especially in a computer program)?

Given an integer N, N is prime if 2^N is congruent to 2 (mod N).


Well I'm not all that defensive and I love everybody, but I'm in no position in my life to be getting involved right now.  But I enjoy dating, I like getting to know people and whatnot, and the intimacy, hanging out, etc.  Also, I'm a lesbian, and a single mom.  I don't want to think about the future with someone, just have friends with benefits.  Is this possible with girls?

Be very straight forward with them from the beginning.  Tell them that you want a relationship with no strings attatched.  Maybe someday you will want a relationship but not right now.


i want to have the tunisian radio can i get that

A country of northern Africa bordering on the Mediterranean Sea. Settled in ancient times by the Phoenicians and dominated after the 6th century b.c. by the Carthaginians, the area later fell to the Romans (2nd century b.c.), Vandals (5th century a.d.), and Byzantines (6th century) before being conquered by the Arabs in the 7th century. Tunisia was taken over by the Ottoman Turks in the late 16th century and, as one of the Barbary States, was used as a base by pirates raiding ships in the Mediterranean. It became a French protectorate in 1881 and achieved full independence in 1956. Tunis is the capital and the largest city. Population: 9,920,000


what are the points and level on yahoo answer good for?

take a look at the points table and explanation on the site (url below)...hope this helps!


A solid disc and a ring, both of radius 10 cm are placed on a horizontal table\nsimultaneously, with initial angular speed equal to 10 π rad s-1. Which of the two\nwill start to roll earlier ? The co-efficient of kinetic friction is µK = 0.2.

My layman's guess would be that the ring would start to roll earlier.  \n\nAssuming that the ring and the disc are the same thickness and made of the same material, the ring would be lighter, and that would mean it has less inertia and less force of friction to overcome.

namespace abc\n{\n   public class abcData\n   {\n       public const string str = "xyz";\n   }\n}\n\nI want the constant str to be accessible from another file that is referencing the "abc" namespace with "using abc;".  How do I do this?

According to Object Oriented Design, you really shouldn't expose class properties directly. The task you're trying to accomplish can be done by using accessors with no Set method, ie. in this way:\n\nnamespace abc\n{\npublic class AbcData\n{\nprivate const string str = "xyz";\n\npublic string AbcString\n{\n   get { return str; }\n}\n}\n\n}\n\nIn this way, you're hiding str, and exposing it using the Get Accessor method.


Looking at the siamese cat in front of me, I'm wondering what they evolved from.  I can see reptilian things in them: the way they move steathtily, those slitted yellow eyes, those snake-like tail movements, that hissing... \n\nIt doesn't seem to make sense as they are mammals but can anyone explain their evolution? \n\nP.S. please, don't tell me they come from saber-tooth tigers... I'm looking further than that.

Mammals such as your cat and us evolved from early amniotes called Therapsids, as the Professor stated. Therapsids were sometimes called "Mammal-like reptiles" but in fact, all the "modern reptiles" (lizards, snakes, crocs, turtles) evolved from another "branch" of early amniotes. The things that all amniotes have in common either 1) were inherited from a common ancestor or 2) evolved independently and achieved similar aspect. Most of the times you can tell when this is the case because such features look superficially similar, but not so much under closer examination. For example, vertical pupils are characteristic of many nocturnal animals that are very dissimilar, such as cats, alligators, or some frogs; these were acquired independently and these animals regulate their eyes somewhat differently. However, all vertebrates have one pair of eyes; this is an inherited shared trait.

No one is forced to join the military, and everyone in the military knows the risks.  In the last presidential election, in the middle of the war, 80% service members voted for Bush over Kerry.  Why not defer to their judgement on the war?\n\nI hate seeing military members killed in any way, and I do not feel that their lives are expendable, but freedom is paid for with the blood of patriots.

Your question is one that is a little close to home for me, I am currently sitting in Iraq and I have lost one of my Marines over here.  That feeling of lost is as bad as losing a family member.  \n\nThat being said lets take a look at the people that make up the population of the U.S. a good portion has been in the military or at least has a friend or family member that is or has served.  The brave Men and Women that were sent to Vietnam are now the Parents or in some cases Grandparents of the Men and Women here with me today.  The connection is made between the one that are safe and the one that walk the wall.  No one can look the other way when it hits that close to home.\n\nThe people that greave for the loss of life I say Thank you for your concern.  The one that use the loss of life as a way to advance their political agenda I say F*** Off.  \n\nThe Men and Women that died over here died defending freedom, we all gave some, but some gave all.

eh that might be iffy if you are trying to get your own apartment. If you move out to live with a friend you can do it right now I believe. However don't quote me as legal advice please, because I'm no lawyer.


Our daughter is four years old and at some point I want to teach her how to ride a horse. I learned when I was six or seven; is there any reason why a four-year-old couldn't learn at that age?

I was raised on a horse ranch and don't remeber learning how to ride. I was taught very young, I'm sure but in my mind I have always known how to ride. Four is plenty old enough to learn, my 3 yr old grandaughter ride alone and does great, she doesn't gallop yet but she walks, trots and, canters well.

(excluding the fact that Bush is president!)

Bush assumes it will put US at risk of loosing the edge in industrial production.\nThe agreement will put stricter restrictions on emissions from various industries in america.\nTo adhere to the standards america needs to upgrade a large number of industries.\n\nAnother reason is these agreements will be fully implemented in usa but the other third world countries does not have the financial power or expertise to implement it. So the third world countries will be polluting and producing cheap products while US will be investing in new technologies and creating expensive products.\n\nBut in the long run US will reap the benefits if it signs the environmental agreement, as we have only one earth.


Hi my aunt has seizures like all of the time and i am very worried about her. the doctors can't figure out whats wrong. i would like some information about what causes them and how she can prevent them from happening i looked at a website and it says it can be caused by a head injury but she hasn't had a head injury although she has had a neck injury she broke her

Hi, 2 of my daughters' had seizures. My oldest daughter had them on and off for about 8 yrs. There were conflicting diagnosis's as to the cause. My daughter is a diabetic and Diabetes can cause seizures, that was one diagnosis. The other diagnosis was Epilepsy. My daughter was treated with medication for Epilepsy, but has been seizure free for 10 years now, and has not had to take medication for 9 years. My other daughter had seizures also and she too is diabetic. Her seizures were not caused from the Diabetes or Epilepsy but from high fevers. She never took medication for them and eventually "out grew" them. In my opinion seizures can be very complex or relatively simple, however even doctors don't know all the causes of seizures sometimes the cause is never known. Hope this helped somewhat. I also have a nursing degree and what I learned about seizures from my schooling I think just covers the very basic knowledge we know and there is alot more to learn. I hope your aunt finds out the cause and is able to get treatment. Let me know if this info helped you or not. Email me at s_34_28_36@yahoo.com Good luck and God Bless you.


A daily plan that can be used to set and meet goals.  M-F weekly outline. breaking down each hour.

I know that there is an outline of a mortgage broker business plan as well as a complete plan in Business Plan Pro.  I've used some of the other plans included in this software and I would highly recommend it.  Basically it saved me about 40 hours of work :)\n\nI included some reference links for you that will help.  The first one is a description of the mortgage business plan that's included and the second one is a link to a bunch of free sample business plans which should help you generate your outline.\n\nHope this helps, happy planning!


my business has collapsed, im going through a divorce, im bankrupt, i fell like giving up, can someone possibly get through all this?

Sorry to hear that you are going troubled times. But yes. People can surely get thru' this. Remember one thing. "Tough times never last long. Tough people will". If you look at the lives of all great men, you'd see that they overcame thousands of obstacles to get to where they were. Abraham Lincoln is a prime example. If possible, read their biography. That will surely help you.\n\nTroubles come into our life for a reason. They are there to give us a new perspective or to help us discover our hidden power which we haven't discovered yet. So, dont be discouraged. At the end of all the problems, you'd emerge as a much stronger person.So, hang in there. Try to talk to your friends/people who wont let you sulk. Try to join a church or a spiritual group which would help in giving you a different perspective. Try to look at the brighter side of things when things look down. Look at how happy you'd be when all problems are solved. Having a positive attitude and looking at the brighter side of things helps getting thru' times like this.\n\nI'd suggest that you do the following. Look at the problems and prioritize them. Dont look at all problems at the same time. Tackle one thing at a time. Give priority to problems that can't be postponed and try to resolve them. Again, try to look at the brighter side of things. Things will be in a better shape soon. A couple of stanzas from HW Longfellow's "The psalm of life" to keep you going.\n\nNot enjoyment, and not sorrow,\nIs our destined end or way ;\nBut to act, that each to-morrow\nFind us farther than to-day.\n\nIn the world's broad field of battle,\nIn the bivouac of Life,\nBe not like dumb, driven cattle !\nBe a hero in the strife !\n\nLives of great men all remind us\nWe can make our lives sublime,\nAnd, departing, leave behind us\nFootprints on the sands of time ;\n\nFootprints, that perhaps another,\nSailing o'er life's solemn main,\nA forlorn and shipwrecked brother,\nSeeing, shall take heart again.\n\nLet us, then, be up and doing,\nWith a heart for any fate ;\nStill achieving, still pursuing,\nLearn to labor and to wait.


Weeks ago, my son has updated my java software to new version, but at the same time also deleted the old version of Java.  I could not see some images in some website due to lacking of "Java Applet".  Although I did download the old version of java again, but it seemed not working.

Firstly go to this link   http://www.java.com/en/  then down load Java software link at very top of page. Once downloaded go to windows control panel/add/remove programs/ then remove older versions of Java one at a time this way. The older programs will foul-up the newer version. Your son may have created a mess if he just deleted the program and not removed through windows add/remove.


To be specific I mean both militarily and economically. I know may people will straight away point out countries like China or some can also point out EU,but what I really want to know is HOW and CAN they, or is there any other bloc other than them which can in the real world challenge America?

As with much in life, the first matter to explore is who has the desire for global power? This then comes back to the human wants and desires which are then collectively expressed by what can broadly be described by the term " culture". Most cultures (political and religious) are inherently competitive. \nSo how will the US loose its power? By repeating the example of the Roman empire - by becomming fat, lazy and the decay of moral standards. \nWhat can be said about a society where the most visible icons are vacuouse "celebrities" who parade their promiscous sex and drug lifestyles and the masses actually admire them!! It wasnt always so. America became great while it still had moral and ethical belief as its guiding light. \n\nSo the question then can be asked - which cultures exhibit the desire to challenge the prevailing world order?\n China is definitely one of my picks. In recent yrs China has made it very plain that it no longer wishes to be inward-looking but wants to become the dominant power on the planet. As it happens, western liberal politics is actually enabling that to happen as we speak by rampant increasing trade, investment and exporting jobs (ie wealth) from the west to China. Can China supplant the US?  My pick is absolutely and given China's history and cultural outlook on the rest of the world, it would not be a benign power that upheld freedom but a highly controlling one ( such as in Orwell's book "1984"). Consider also the horrors of the "Cultural Revolution". (read book "Wild Swans" by Jung Chang)\nSeeing the growing weakness and decay of the US, China is currently spending up large on military capability that goes way beyond any reasonable defense needs. This already concerns the US and in 5-10yrs could match or even surpass.  \n\nGiven Ive chosen to focus on cultural competition, the other megatrend in  my view is that of Islamization (or Islamo-facism as some have described it). The muslim world view is very disturbing to a western liberal such as myself (read the koran yourself - see link in sources)and the recent aggressive action against western values and societies (from 9/11, to French riots, to Sydney riots etc) is just the tip of the iceberg. With western national identities and cultures being ever more diluted in favour of "multicultural societies" (which include massive Muslim enclaves - in Sydney the Police fear to enter such neighbourhoods), the collective will of these multi-cultural societies to stand against competion from other cultures has been substantially weakened and continues to erode from the inside. You need look no further than the impotence of the French to deal with the riots decisively. \nMuslim nations have chosen non-conventional warfare as they dont have the military capability or the expertise to wage open warefare. But terrorism from without, coupled with substantial populations of Muslims inside western countries (over 2 million in US; over 6 million in France; some 350,000 in/around Sydney)are a threat that the west is still largely  blind to. \nBut is it possible for Islamic nations to become a superpower?  Maybe - all its takes is for the US to become weaker and for a revised definition of what a superpower is. Indonesia (the most populous Muslim country with some 120 mill people has a substantial standing army or close to 200,000) could in theory overrun Australia / New Zealand to start with. While at present Australia has superiority in air and sea capability, the gap is not that great. New Zealand has no air force and tiny navy.   \nAmerica did take up the challenge post 9/11 and the limits of military power have been starkly exposed. \nIs America still the undesputed superpower? No. American economic power is also slipping fast. All hail the WTO and unbridled pursuit of short term, short sighted profit that ignores national interests !


are the positions of stars really related to our lives or is it just a fiction?

Astrology is not considered to be a science, but is more appropriately an art, and is separate from astronomy, the scientific study of outer space. The calculations performed in astrology involve arithmetic and simple geometry and serve to locate the apparent location of heavenly bodies on desired dates and times based on tables constructed by astronomers. There have been astrologers who claim to try to put astrology on a sound scientific basis, but for most it is an art that merges calculations with their own intuitive perceptions. For most astrologers the purported relationship between the celestial bodies and events on earth need not be causal, nor even scientific.


I guess it depends on if you're living with them or on your own.  Living at home, you could help with income from a job (if you're old enough), offering to give up some things that contribute to their expenses, or just be more economical with heat and electricity.\n\nIf you're on your own, you could simply offer some money every month if you can spare it.  Maybe offer to pay a credit card or utility bill every month.  Or you could help them research ways to get their financial situation in order.  Homeowners have a lot of options related to their home's equity--maybe a bill consolidation loan secured by equity.\n\nMostly, just be their kid, and let them know you'll do whatever it is you can to help.  I'm sure it will mean more than you will know.


When a player passes the ball, is it time?  Steps?  What exactly constitutes an assist?  I couldn't find it in the rule book.

In basketball, an assist is attributed to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads to a score, meaning that he or she was "assisting" in the basket. According to the Official 2004 NCAA Basketball Statistics Rules, an assist has to be "a major part of the play," which either finds the player already with a "positional advantage", or helps him or her get one. There is thus some judgement involved in deciding whether a player deserves an assist.


Everytime a telemarketer calls I say "Hello."  Then it takes a few seconds and they say "Hello?"  As if they are wondering if anyone answered.  Why is this the case?

Telemarketers do not actually dial the phone calls.  They sit at a desk and wait to be alerted that they are being connected to a call through their call system.  It would be a waste of time for telemarketers to wait on the line for someone to answer the phone because there could be no answer or they could get your voicemail.  Your voice actually triggers the connection.  They do not hear you say hello because they have not been connected to you yet.


I have a co worker that has full blown AIDS and has not disclosed this information to our boss and he is to the point that he doesn't care, he shares cups smokes and his mouth is full of blisters with puss. I feel obligated to let my supervisor know so that we can take the precausions to take care of all our other employees, is there some protocol that we should take to make sure that our other people safe?

Unfortunately, you can't LEGALLY tell your boss about your co-worker's illness. However, when it comes to stuff like this, I personally tend to throw legality out the window and leave an anonymous note on my supervisor's desk. Make sure it's anonymous. The government provides for the person, people provide for the people. My instinct says your duty is to yourself and your fellow workers who are not infected.\n\nHow sure are you his mouth has pus-filled blisters in it?

Normally having nothing info and set by that software. \nAs that part of hard is write by other data many times. so it is not possible to reteive that data.\n\nFrom a  Full formatted hard disk you cant retrieve data.SO Full (Not Quick) Formatting of disk can be used to delete data. which cant be retrieve in future.\n\nthere are many softwares like, Sure Delete etc

can't connect to the internet with this browser but Internet Explorer works fine. So how do I undo the update?

It's possible you are behind a firewall and it is blocking Firefox from accessing the internet.  If you are using Windows XP SP2 go to Start > Control Panel > Security Center and Under Manage Security Settings click Windows Firewall and go to the Exceptions tab if Firefox is in the list check it and if it isn't in the list click Add Program and then add it to the list.\n\nIf that isn't the case, uninstall the version of Firefox you just got (what version was it?) and try installing Firefox 1.0.7, if you can find it.  Mozilla has pulled that version in favor of Firefox 1.5.  My guess is there is a firewall preventing it from accessing the network and if it isn't Windows Firewall then you will have to go through the settings in whichever one you are using.\n\nIt's also possible that there is a restore point right before you installed the newer version so go to Start > All Program > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore and select "restore my computer to an earlier time" and see if there is a restore point before you installed the update (any date in bold has a restore point set).  If there is click on that date, click Next and click Next, the restore process will now start, let your computer reboot and you should have the older version back.

x-ray diffraction gives you basically the fourier transform of the lattice structure - so to get the actual lattice, you can inverse transform the XRD pattern to get the real-space structure.\n\nif you already know something about the crystal structure and just want to measure the lattice spacing (is that what you mean by lattice parameter) you can orient the various crystal planes relative to the xray beam, and use bragg's scattering law to calculate the lattice spacing.  \n\nbragg's law is nL = 2d sin T    where n is the order of the diffraction peak (n=1 for the maximum peak), L is lambda the wavelength of the xray beam, d is the lattice spacing and T (theta) is the angle between the beam and the crystal plane you are studying.


The stocks in question were from the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

That depends on the amount of the gain, your overall tax bracket, the amount of tax already paid for the year, etc., etc. The best strategy is to use a tax planning tool and put all the information in for the year including your filing status (single, married joint, married separate, etc), wages, tax withheld, whether or not you have mortgage interest or property taxes, interest and dividends as well as the capital gains. IF you come up short, you should pay Federal and state estimated taxes. If not, no reason to do so. You could be hit with a small estimated tax penalty which is basically equal to the amount of interest due on the amount of the underpayment if you come up significantly short.

How many of you could be civil with a girl who your husband cheated on you with, before you were married? I am married to him now, so I have won the "battle" but it still makes my blood boil just to see her.  I could have went the rest of my life without ever seeing her again. How would you deal with that in a public area?

well if it was me,as long as she didn't say anything I wouldn't even look in her direction,if she does she's just tryin to rub it in your face again soooo at that point I would ask her if she likes my ring!!!!!!!

I REALLY LOVE HIM AND I KNOW HE LOVES ME BUT HES A SENIOR AND IM A SOFTMORE BUT HES REALLY GOOD IN FOORTBAL AND HE GOT A SCHOLARSHIP AND I DONT WANT TO RUIN HIS DREAMS OR ANYTHING I WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY BUT THEN AGAIN I DONT WANT TO LOSE HIM! HE DOSENT KNOW FOR SURE IF HES GOING TO A COLLEGE OUT OF STATE BUT I DONT WANT HIM TO I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! WILL I BE STUPID FOR STAYING WITH HIM WHILE HES IN COLLEGE AND IM GOING TO BE CONSTANTLY THINKING HES DOING SOMETHING!! I NEED HELP!!!!

Even if he doesn't realize it yet, or he won't admit it to you, he's going to want to explore his options a little at college. Pretty much everyone does. When you go off to college, it's pretty likely that you will too.\n\nIf you try to hold on too tightly, he may either break up with you, do things behind your back, or end up resenting you because he *wants* to explore on his own, and feels like you're holding him back. The fact that you will worry about what he's doing when you're not around will only make things worse.\n\nOne possibility is to break up with him before he leaves, but tell him that if he's interested after a semester or two, you might get back together with him. That also means that you can spend your time doing other things, seeing other guys casually, and generally letting your life go on.\n\nThere's a chance that even as he goes out and does the usual college things, he'll end up missing what he had with you. And if he doesn't, then it just wasn't meant to be, and you'll have a head start on moving on past him.

It would be nice to have a system whereby government posted proposed policies on a website. Visitors could chat about these, propose changes, etc and, if a reliable voting system could be developed, vote on said policies. Until fully trusted, maybe the internet voice could just add up to one vote in government.

Judging by some of the questions and answers on this site I'd have to say this is unlikely to work. And the spelling in any resulting legislation would be so bad no one would understand it. \nWhich probably wouldn't make that much difference from the current situation.

I'd been a little fat for along time when I was younger and I've wasted alot of my weight during many years I'm 26 now and my breasts are sagging what can I do to lift them and make them firm ? and what about those advertisments on the internet for creams which lift the breasts and make them firm, are they true?

Lifting weights, especially bench presses, will at least tighten up the muscles underneath, and give some lift.  No magic cream you apply or take will do anything - save your money.


i need help , i was  very weak in high school at it[ math]\ni need some sort of super formular, am ready to work hard as long as  someone gives me some sort of guideline.

Practice and hard work will make a big difference.  So will having a good tutor.\n\nIf you're very weak in math, you'll want to focus on the basics.  Get a 6th-8th grade math workbook, and make sure you've mastered the material.  Multiplication, division, order of operations, fractions, decimals, etc.  The biggest reason students have trouble with math in high school is that they haven't mastered the basics.  Do hundreds of problems in the workbook.  If that's difficult, then it's a clear sign you need to keep doing more problems.  If you finish the workbook, and you're not getting over 90% correct, get another workbook.  If you need help with any type of problem, ask for help.  If this is important to you, you should spend at least 12 hours per day during your winter break on studying.  (How's that for a guideline?)\n\nIf you've mastered the material up to 8th grade math, get the book of sample SATs and the SAT math workbook, both produced by the College Board.  You can find both at your bookstore, or at Amazon.\n\nTake a full exam to identify all the problems you don't know how to do, so you can focus your efforts.\n\nTry to learn how to do each type of problem that you miss.  If you can't figure it out on your own, ask someone for help.  Consider getting a tutor.  You want to be prepared to solve not only the given problem, but any variations on it.  So if you were to get the same problem, but with a different set of numbers, you should be able to solve it.\n\nThen go to the SAT math workbook, and study the material that you're weakest in.  Do the problems at the end of each chapter.  If you run out of problems, Barron's, Kaplan, and Princeton Review all produce decent SAT review books.\n\nEvery week, take another exam to monitor your progress and identify the problem areas.  You should see a steady progress in your score if you work hard at it.


There is of course some risk from the surgery itself. The living donors online web site says,\n"Because living kidney donation has been practiced for more than 40 years, research has been conducted on the long-term effects of donation on the donor. In general, these studies have shown very little negative impact."\nFor more info, see the source link below.\n\nIn a Swedish study:\n"Of 430 people who donated between 1964 and 1994, 41 died from 18 months to 31 years following donation. The causes of death included cardiovascular disease, cancer, injury or accidents, gastrointestinal disease, alcoholism, and other diseases. None died of kidney disease. The study also concluded that the survival rates of donors were higher than the general population, possibly due to the careful selection of donors based on their health (i.e., donors tend to be healthier than the general population.)"


I have a cleft lip that was made normal looking after surgery.  I just want to counsel young women with the same experience.  I am looking forward to talking with someone about this.  The thing I most want to say is that "You can marry who YOU are in love with...the person YOU are attracted to.  A repaired cleft lip is not as ugly as YOU think it is. It is true.  I hope to get in touch with someone I can help or someone who can help others.  Please contact me.\nMy name is Julie and I have been married 35 years.\nI am 54 years old.  My first surgery was in 1951 when\nI was 3 months old.  Then at 21 a surgeon fixed it up\na little better.\n     Another thing I need to say is DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE FUN OF YOU.  I used\nto be called stich lip.  I let that affect my dating later on.  I never felt worthy of love.  I ended up \nmarrying the boy who loved me.  But I was in love with someone else.  The 18 years of severe depression\nthat happened to me was the result. PEACE

vis-a-vis Pentium M. I am planning to go for a Lenovo Z60t with Celeron M. The price difference is significant when compared to a similarly equipped Pentium M.

We are talking about levels of cache here.  The previous post is talking about the amount of level 1 cache as compared to what the original poster is talking about which is level 2 cache.  Am I wrong?\n\n\nBottom line, the pentium is faster.  This is due to the pentium's amount of cache that is "closer" to the processor.

well friend/roommate has a boyfriend and he is best friends with my... umm i guess boyfriend.. and we all live together. ok here it is. i know he cheats on her bkoz him and my bf talk about it all the time around me. sometimes they even tell me. i told her about one but i know A LOT more that he has done to her. my problem is i dont want to to come back and bit me in my ass. bkoz i know if her bf or my bf found out i told her no one will ever talk to me again. so yea should i tell her or juss leave it in the pass?

I dont think you should risk loosing your bf over that if you really love him, i think that you should just let her find out on her own, that's their business. i know it sounds hard, but i'm sure that you prefer your bf over your friend, i know i would. good luck = )

Once the blood starts pumping back up to your brain, think about the reality of the situation. You could possibly damage four people's lives at the least, more if anyone has any children. The fantasy of the situation is most likely better than the reality of it, even if you don't get caught. \n\nI tend to believe that we are not truly monogamous creatures, in that we are not perfectly content for the rest of our lives with the one we've found. There will be times when someone else gets you going, which to me is understandable. \n\nYou can however choose to stick by your word and not intentionally hurt someone you care or cared enough about to walk down the aisle with. The right thing to do is hardly ever the easy thing to do.


When responding to this question, do you really believe in your answer?

There's a spiritual answer and there's a scientific answer. Seeing your question is based on the former, though, I guess my feedback to you would be this. What do you think will happen to you when you die? I mean plain and simple that's the answer to your question. There's no need to blur the lines on this.
