I think that the expansion of pro sports teams in the past 25 years has caused a watering down of talent, less competitive games and a general ho-hum attitude in many cities where teams are consistently losing games, fans and money.  I think that pro sports should contract, lose teams that do not consistently do well and save money losers.

I don't think so because there have been so many new rivals. Also, who wants to see the same teams play your team over and over without any diversity. Would you want to see the same exact schedule ever year, not me. I say thanks for the new teams.  Side note, Go Cowboys, Yeah!!!!


I am on a job assignment and won't be back home to the US for a while. However, my own bank is giving my wife a hard time everytime she goes to withdraw money from my own account - and they will not let her join - Although, she has a full power of attroney from me!! We are trying to go else where??

You could open an online (only) account at an investment bank, there are many out there with high interest rates!\n\nIng Direct\nHSBC\n\njust to name a few.


because we lived near the demolition of a roadside bomb blast that killed or injured one of their troops, I feel that I would spend the rest of my life sniping out these murderes, poping them off when ever possible, the soldiers that is , I feel no revenge against the civilians. Why are u.s. troops murdering so many civilians, are they easier targets? Why kill the kids, they can't even fire a weapon?

you spelling and grammar is aweful.  Graduate high school, then ask some questions.


i left the band aid on for a while and it stopped bleeding, but it just started bleeding again a couple minutes ago. the cut looks really deep and it hurts a lot more than a normal scrape would, especially when i bend or straighten my finger. is it possible that i cut into the muscle or some other sensitive part of my finger? if so, do i need to heal it with stronger measures than just washing it and putting bandaids on it?

you may have nicked a tendon, but it's doubtful.  considering the location of the cut, it will begin to bleed and hurt more when you bend it because you may tear apart the areas that have clotted and are trying to heal.  without actually seeing it i can't say if you need a trip to the doctor, but it just sounds like it's the location of the cut that is causing your issues.


What happened to this idea?  \nWhy won't they take pride in the country they have chosen to live?  \nWhy is everyone angry with the Mexicans?  \nWhat about the people from the Middle East?  Despite 9/11.

If someone immigrates legally to this country they are Americans and many do serve their nation and economy quite well.  People born here have a sense of entitlement.  It does not help when our goverment encourages people to use welfare, wic and foodstamps with billboard advertising.  People do still serve their nation, just ask anyone who puts on a uniform of any sort. (even the factory workers count here)  Every generation has had their ingrates and there are aways those who counteract their behavior with achievment and generosity.


Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian, and of course, I love God, but why do some people try to sing about Jesus and God in rock 'n' roll? To me, it sounds just plain corny! Couldn't they celebrate the Lord in OTHER ways? How many times have you herd that one of those genuine Christian rock songs made it to #1?

EXTREMELY ANNOYED!\nMy sister is very into christian rock, I would take sacred music from a hymnal any day, at least it has beauty.


It is a book tellin you how to get the stuff to naturally cure many illnesses in the human body, and he says it is proven techniques for you to live longer and healthier, is it a crock of sh*t or does someone out there know if it is real or not?

My sister is an herbalist & she said that it was bunk. I work in the book industry & some customers were dissatified with it as well. There are other books on natural health that are much better.

I see it as the Broncos vs. Redskins with the Broncos winning 31-17\n\nThe Redskins have made imrovements on their offense with Antwan Randle EL and their defense was already one of the best.\n\nThe Broncos had a serious chance until the steelers roled on in.  Jay Cutler if starts will be a promo NFL quarterback and they worked on their sub par pass rush and Javon Walker was a great pick-up.

Jay Cutler has zero chance of starting this season. Plummer is the Broncos guy for at least another 2 years. They can't eat his contract while he sits on the bench in favor of Cutler. Never happen.\n\nAs for your question, the Redskins are a good choice. The NFC is wide open and it could be anybody really. But a team with Mark Brunell at QB will never win a Super Bowl. Campbell may be a good QB, but they don't play him enough to find out. Plus the Redskins draft was lousy. \n\nI like the Steelers in the AFC. They did just enough in the draft to compensate for their free agent losses. Nothing tells me that they won't be good again, although they have a difficult schedule. I think Carolina is the team to beat in the NFC. They had a good draft and Delhomme is an underrated QB.


do any one knows any cool webiste,that has all free programs and software

As in, if a guy sees you in a bar, nightclub, public place, restaurant, movies, pool, beach etc etc etc whats the best way to approach you and ask you out?!\n\nOr, whats the best pick up line you can think of!\n(Guys are always wonderin about this one).\n\nHow can a guy tell if youre interested or how can he let you know hes interested?

There is no good way, just go for it, good luck mate.

What substance could neutralize the "love drug"? How can one scientifically avoid falling "in love"? Are there any hormon-based treatments  or something to block the phenylethylamine get produced by the human brain? I want some chemistry/psychology-based answers, not stupid jokes from low IQ-ed scum. Thanks

In brain capillary endothelium and catecholaminergic terminals a single decarboxylation step effected by aromatic amino-acid decarboxylase converts phenylalanine to phenylethylamine, at a rate comparable to that of the central synthesis of dopamine. Phenylethylamine, however, is not stored in intra-neuronal vesicles and is rapidly degraded by monoamine oxidase-B. Despite its short half-life, phenylethylamine attracts attention as an endogenous amphetamine since it can potentiate catecholaminergic neurotransmission and induce striatal hyperreactivity. Subnormal phenylethylamine levels have been linked to disorders such as attention deficit and depression; the use of selegiline (Deprenyl) in Parkinson's disease may conceivably favour recovery from deficient dopaminergic neurotransmission by a monoamine oxidase-B inhibitory action that increases central phenylethylamine. Excess phenylethylamine has been invoked particularly in paranoid schizophrenia, in which it is thought to act as an endogenous amphetamine and, therefore, would be antagonized by neuroleptics. The importance of phenylethylamine in mental disorders is far from fully elucidated but the evolution of phenylethylamine concentrations in relation to symptoms remains a worthwhile investigation for individual psychotic patients.\n\ncould increase monoamine oxidase-B in order to degrade the available amount of phenylethylamine in system.


In the US most of us do our general shopping at Wal-Mart.  Do those of you in other countries have Wal-Mart? Or where do you buy toilet paper and such??

Wal-Mart has bought Asda here now, we also have Tesco, Somerfield, Waitrose, Kwik Save, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Netto, Aldi, Lidl and possibly others that I've forgotten.\nAnd if it's just top-up shopping there's plenty of corner shops and newsagents :)


If you are allowed to tell me, how is it propossed you survive and fight in the case of nuclear war??

Many of the bombs would blow up in the same spot to ensure they were not shot down.  Life would suck but you would be alive.


My mom has hers tied and was wondering what happends to the egg. She still menstrates. If the egg comes out while menstating, then why can't sperm move up into the egg? Can eggs not coming out cause any infections, cancer, etc?

Since the egg can't get past the 'knot' (it's usually cauterized though) it just sits in the fallopian tube until the body reabsorbs it. The sperm stays on the other side of the knot so they they never meet. Since the uterus is unaffected, you still have normal menstruation.

I need a standard to be added to this objective for a lesson plan.

Objectives: to identify the heart as the largest muscle in the body, to describe the heart's role in pumping blood to the lungs and to all parts of the body \n\n \nProcedures:  \nStudent Information: Ask students to identify the strongest muscle of the body. Allow students to give their ideas and then explain that the correct answer is the heart. Show students diagram of the heart and share the background information with them.  \nThe heart works day and night to pump blood through the circulatory system. \nThe heart consists of two pumps. \nThe pump on the right side of the heart sends blood to the lungs where the blood obtains oxygen. \nThe blood which has obtained oxygen then travels back to the heart where it is pumped to all parts of the body. \n\nI hope this helps...


When some christians tell me "your're going to hell for not believing in god", that must be what they would think of themselves if they didn't believe. They also say things like "be careful what you say about god". That sounds like fear to me. If they are afraid for me, they probably would be afraid for themselves if they were atheist. People do fear the unknown. Maybe christians are really fearful agnostics. They're so scared of being wrong, they just say they believe to keep it on the safe side. Maybe they have faith to force themselves not to think. So they just block out all the logic that may cause them to question their belief because if they question their belief, they risk going to hell(which really doesn't exist) they're even scared to question the existence of hell because they dont want to get sent their for asking about it. They think god may know their thoughts so they try to force all the logic out of their brain that may cause them to question their belief.


Gods name Jehovah is even carved on a statue of an angel found on the tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican and they are Catholic but they won't say his name.  The original Bible had his name in it over 7000 times and it's been taken out of most bibles, why?

becuase the most bible were re-written by some people who called themselves scholars and  thought it is too sacred and that they strictly followed the commandment not to take his name in vain so they reverted to titles such as lord, god and as such.\n\nbut the truth is, are we going to desecrate god's name if we use? even jesus his son, in his model prayer urged us to sanctify his name, so then how can we sanctify it if we are too afraid to use it?\n\nits not becuase you are not one of the Jehovah's Witnesses taht would prohibit you to use his name\n\nanother reason to use his name specially if youre praying, is that it would identify WHICH god you are talking to!! hello!! are you not aware that even satan was called god? god of evil for that matter, that even in rome... a lot of god and goddeses exist!!


hi im 14 an want to use tampons.  ive tried to put 1 in and cant.  Ive looked at myself down there and can only see the hole where pee comes out and another small hole that i think is my hyman. my friend says that is where the tampon goes and i should streach it by putting a finger in 1st,  should i do that or go to a dr?

First, I don't think you need to see a doctor. Most girls have problems when they first start trying to use tampons. Second, all this stuff about you being a virgin - that doesn't matter in the slightest, you're not going to "devirginise" yourself with a tampon!!!!\n\nThe hole where the pee comes out is called the urethra. Below that, is the vaginal opening. It doesn't really look like a "hole" as such, but if you gently push there with a finger you'll discover it opens up. Personally, I think it's a good idea to gently put your finger in first, then you can learn what direction the vagina goes in for when you put a tampon in. Just make sure you wash your hands first!\n\nYou shouldn't need to stretch yourself to put a tampon in, although it might feel a little bit uncomfortable at first, just because you're not used to putting anything in your vagina. Just make sure you start out using the really small ones, and you should be fine.

he thinks u dnt need 40hrs a week to do cleaning and cooking in other words he think it's being lazy, it's better of her working then staying at home, how do u convince him that being a house wife is a valued thing and not just being lazy?

I have had to go out of town for a few days leaving the kids with my husband.  He thought he could do it just fine.  When I came home he just hugged me and said "how in the hell do you do it??"  I just laughed at him.  he never took my job for granted again.  Now when he gets home he cooks and lets me sit and relax because he knows I am exhausted.\n\nSo to answer your question, I say go out of town for a few days and see what he says when you get home.  This is something that they cant understand till they are in your shoes.


I keep getng email form fakes wantting money and and that are not ture. And some will answer is form other county. Im looking for a single line that check for id to make shure that they are not with someone and say who that thy are. I live in springfield Missouri and had no luck wiht looking. I under stand that it takes time to find true love but I been single for more then a year and had no date yet. Please Help

Best Answer!\n\nYes you are right, the dating sites are places for the CON ARTIST, but be that as it may you can't find love fella! You have to create love by making you in real life more desirable.\n\nMaybe join a social club in town or a singles group locally. Meeting people on-line is fun - I practice it, but for the most part its a 80/20 split. 80% are not who they say they are and 20% are who they say they are, but not what I am looking for ultimately. \n\nDo not concern the interest of finding love, but more so learn to love you to a point that you have to give it away to somebody. Trust me once that happens many women will come to you verses you looking for them! \n\nHope this helps!


Remember the PS2-Linux kit, and the fact that its supposed to only work with the beasty PS2?\nWell, I'm sure I seen a way to make it work on the slim PS2 a while back, possibly involving a hardware mod. I wasn't interested, because I thought I would never want to use linux, but now I do.  Does anyone know a way to make the kit work on the slim PS2, or linux in general working on the PS2, or do you have a link to a tutorial or such.  Perhaps you've done it, please tell me!

It doesn't look like there's been much success in getting a slim PS2 to work with a hard disk, which is the first step. Though slightly snarky, the advice to keep searching is a good one. \n\nThe first reference seems to say that given a "regular" PS2 running Linux, you can build a memory card with a Linux image on it and boot that. Also looks like if you can get hold of a "regular" PS2 for a few days, you can build Linux on a USB HD and boot from that.\n\nYou might also want to contact some of the folks on the thread noted below directly; looks like toru173 is really hot on getting this working.

(m)\n\n\nCocaine is an alkaloid present in Coca leaves (Erythyroxine coca). Its pharmacological properties, such as stimulation of the brain and central nervous system plus its profound euphoric effects, have been known for centuries. Cocaine has been used medicinally as a local anesthetic agent, but its addictive properties have minimized its modern daily use. Once considered a panacea for all sorts of ailments, Cocaine was readily available as the principle ingredient in patent medicines sold over the counter in the late 1800s and early 1900s. And indeed cocaine was the "secret" ingredient in the original recipe for Coca-Cola©.  Cocaine is most often self-administered by IV injection, nasal insufflations (snorting), and inhalation of vapor from the heating of the free base (smoking). The availability of “crack” (a street form of the free base) has increased cocaine use by the latter method.  Body elimination of cocaine is predominantly controlled by its bio-transformation. Very low concentrations of cocaine are detected in urine during the initial several hours, however benzoylecgonine, a hydrolytic degradation product or system metabolite of cocaine, persists in urine at a detectable level for 48 hours. Immunoassay testing has been developed for the determination of benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite) in urine at concentrations of 300 ng/ml or greater, the sensitivity cutoff level set by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.\n\nThe QuickScreen™ One-Step Rapid Cocaine Test utilizes a unique combination of monoclonal antibodies to selectively identify cocaine and its major metabolites in urine with a high degree of sensitivity. The test kit is a rapid, visually read screening method that does not require special instrumentation or training.

Just so you know, I'm not.  There is a certain level of payback coming to Osama.  Iraq was merely a country on the list.  It was inevitable.  Just like Iran, then Syria, and so on.  sounds like most of us are ready to throw the towel in already. I did my time over there, and to finish the job, I would do it again it they would let me.

I am not ready to give up on it either but I would fight it a differ ant way, I would disband the military as we know it, keep the Navy and Air force intact. I would build a purely defensive force and guard our own borders against all alien people, put more into intelligence, I know this is radical and probably not to well received but it is my opinion as to what is wrong. We spend to much on overseas and not enough here. There is a better use for the money.

Democrats are bleeding hearts and Republicans are bloodthirsty according to opposing sides. Why is it there is no real middle ground between the two? If there is, what is it? Why is it that both parties feel the need to categorize all of the opposing side's representatives into stereotypical groups if every person (from both sides) are inherently unique in opinion and beliefs as a human being? \nPlease answer one of these questions or all of them (NO WEBSITE REFERENCES OR QUOTES FROM SOURCES PLEASE: THEY ARE ALL TAINTED BY ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER)

Because it is easier to label someone into a stereotype then actually have a meaningful discussion. This happens all the way from the US senate to ideological internet forums. \n\nReally both parties are much of the same varying on a relatively few number of issues. \n\nWhat is really alarming is those in the party cannot see this.

We're starting over from all the stuff that has recently happened. But he constantly asks me "Do you love me?", "Do you want to be with me?", "How do you feel?", "What's on your mind?". And it's not just once in a while it's the same damn question over and over and I can't help but to get annoyed and snap at him. Sometimes, there is just NOTHING on my mind. I am an only child and like to do things alone sometimes but he just does not understand that and thinks there's something wrong with him. I really do love him but I'm sick of basically building up his self esteem. How can I answer his questions without snapping but tell him they annoy the crap out of me at the same time?

he is just feeling insecure in the relationship, and trying to make sure you are happy and satisfied and if you aren't he wants the opportunity to fix it. try to reassure to him and tell him that you love him and he has nothing to fear. try to be as patient and as understanding as possible.

I am a 9th grader and would just like to know, that if I am interested in Business as my career, what should I do to prepare myself for it? I am trying to take all the Business classes offered at my school but there has to be something more. Can anybody tell me an outline as to what I should do to prepare? Any type of business dealing, owning and operating, franchises, just overall dealing with multiple companies and earning the big money. I know that if I want it, I can do it if I put my heart and soul into it, just tell me how.

The best way is to work for different types of companies that you are interested in owning and learning all you can about them.\nYou are smart to start thinking about this now.\nI would suggest also that you get a collage level textbook on Marketing and read it completely through.\nYOu need to have a great knowledge of two things:\nMARKETING and MANAGEMENT and the way to start to get this knowledge is to go to a local collage bookstore and get these two textbooks and READ them, every word. Don't skip the one on marketing. It is just as important if not more so than the one on management.

an EKG? I have to get this done on May 11th. The nurse told me not to do my hair, that they will be putting some type of a gel in it? What can I expect here? Thanks

I think you are probably referring to an EEG, not an EKG. An EEG measures electrical activity in the brain, and I had one done several months ago because I have migraines.  There's not much to it.  The technician will put gel on your scalp in a number of spots and attach electrodes to the surface-nothing punctures the skin.  Then you just lay on a table for several minutes, sometimes with your eyes open, sometimes with them closed. It doesn't take very long and there is no pain involved.

what can you say about the present trend of giving assessment test for teachers?

One aspect of my work is to help determine whether students are eligible for Special Ed, or for protections under state and federal laws to protect students with disabilities. When we make that decision, we are required by law to look at information from a variety of sources. Usually we do two or three different formal assessments that give us two or three completely different pictures of a student. These are usually standardized, so that you get a score in terms of how this student compares to other students his or her age. The team will review the school records, and get input from teachers, counselors, and family. Often, an objective outsider will observe the student in their usual classroom setting. Fifteen or twenty minutes of quiet observation can give you valuable information about a student.  \n\nAnother reason we need tests is to demonstrate that the students are actually learning what we allegedly teach them. Unfortunately, the yearly state tests we give them in the US each year are profoundly flawed.\n\nAlfie Kohn writes, "Don’t let anyone tell you that standardized tests are not accurate measures.  The truth of the matter is they offer a remarkably precise method for gauging the size of the houses near the school where the test was administered." By that he means that standardized test scores are profoundly affected by the students' social standing and economic condition (or socio-economic status).\n\nBut when it comes to taking away funds from a school, the same requirement of gathering information from a variety of sources does not seem to apply. It seems this is often done because of the scores on a single type of yearly test, one that covers a small fraction of what students should be learning in school, and one which has no direct consequences for the students who take it.  They don't care, and they like to draw pictures with the dots in the bubbles. On the other hand, there are big-time consequences for school staff.\n\nIn one major metropolitan area in the US, a favorite trick of the politicians is to cut the budgets of struggling schools and watch the test scores go down. Then they fire the principal and all the teachers (except the ones with "outstanding" ratings, which principals rarely give), replace the staff with new teachers, give them a highly-scripted curriculum (Teacher: Take out your pencils and open your workbooks to page 41. We are going to complete these sentences...), pour more money into the school, declare the school "Transformed", and take credit when test scores go up again. \n\nTeacher qualifying exams: They make an awful lot of money for the companies that give them, which sometimes charge more than $100 for a test that only takes an hour or two. Often a state will require six or seven of these for a teaching license. They do help protect the schools and the teachers unions from allegations that the teachers can't read or write. But you cannot test what separates a good teacher from a terrible one with a #2 pencil and a bunch of bubbles to fill in. And that's just common sense.


whats a gd site to get codes? and what site do i use to upload my music to?

Drop and Drug it in the profile you want to upload to


Me and my boyfriend just broke up, which was mutual, and when we first met he had this arrogant friend with a few problems.  At the time I was 26 years old, and he made this comment about women who are 30 years old.  He said that women who are 30 years old and not married that there is something wrong with them.  I'm turning 30 in December and I keep thinking about his comment.  Do you guys really think that?

Absolutely untrue!  There is nothing wrong with 30 year old woman.  There is something wrong with the guy who said that to you.  You still have lots of time to find the right guy, settle down, get married, have kids.  Just think of it this way, you have had these last few years to have fun, finish school, get a job, etc....now you can work on getting the family part.  And you also know what you are looking for in a guy.


Puerto Rico has been a US territory (or colony as some describe the situation) since more than 100 years ago. Some think that PR should be the 51st State, others believe it should be independent, others prefer to stay as territory.

I doubt it.    A very good read is James A. Micheners' "Alaska"\n\nThe parallel is this..  business interests do not want the regulation that would necessarily come with statehood.. State regulations, adherence to Federal regulations.. the list is very long.  In the case of Alaska, people and natural resources were exploited heavily. \n\n I think PR may be in the same scenario


his last name sounds like enriquez or something similar he had a couple of big hits in the 90s his music would be compared to something like michael bolton, easy listening, adult contempo kind of music i cant seem to find his name anywhere

the guy i think you are talking about is Jon Secada


I just read an interesting article on foxnews.com saying that if Al Gore runs for President in '08, he could "stop" Hillary.  Who would you prefer to have for president?  AND WHY?

I don't like Al Gore all that much....and I am not too sure I like Hilary's cautious speeches...\n\nI don't think either are willing to truly put themeselves "out there" to back up their rhetoric.

They say superstition affects people psychologically so that if you think its bad you'll feel everything is going wrong\n\nI heard of an experiment done on superstitious people that performed the same test with and without their superstitions present ( i think it was a rabbit's foot ) and they performed better with it than without\n\nand they ranked their feelings of the test a lot better when they had their placebo, it affect you subconsciously i think


After recovering from a kidney stone  you may feel dizzy or feel the need to walk slowly and hold on to things. If you close your eyes you may topple over. What organ has been affected?

Your kidney perhaps??  I have been suffering from chronic kidney stones since I was in High School, and have to say that I have never had those symptoms post-stone passing.  Those are things that I had DURING the whole agonizing process of flushing with IV fluids, etc.  Is it possible there is still another, or more stones in there still? \n\nAlso, did you have a lot of blood in your urine?  You might need to have your hemoglobin checked to make sure your iron isn't too low.  There is quite possibly the chance of a secondary infection as well. That could effect any of your organs, if it had the opportunity to spread.  My best advice here--go see the DR, or at least give him/her a call and let them know what's up.  GL!  P.S. PUSH fluids and drink cranberry juice in the meantime!


I was just curious to know if many teenagers cheat on their exams. I would also know what really high school in the USA is like-really- how is it?Let's just say I didn't go to High School.

High school in the US is a popularity contest: who can have the cutest bf/gf, who can make the cheerleading squad/football team, etc. I enjoyed high school, I had friends, I'm not trying to be cynical, but it was always about who was the most popular flavor of the month. Kids cheated all the time on exams, I did too (mainly on homework), it didn't seem to be a big deal. I regret it now though, I should've just learned the info then b/c now I'm in college and don't know how to do somethings I should've learned in high school! Hope that all makes sense.


i asked a question about if you thought bowling is a sport. most of the respsonses says it is a "redneck" sport! what is up with that! i am a highschool bowler and i am very good. it is very competative and just so you know, not all bowlers are drunk and fat!   SERIOUSLY what do you people have against my favorite sport!?

And these same people think golf and chess is easy to master. We all have our preferences, so don't let them get to you. Enjoy what you are doing and continue to do your best. You can't please everyone.


I injuryed my ankle a week ago x-rays said no broken bones in leg or ankle.  i have been off of it for about a week slowing walking on it and using crutches.  I worked today which most of the time i am not walking or adding weight to it.  WHY did it now start to swell up is that normal or should i be worried about other problems.  I ice it elevate it and use ebson salt!!!!!!!  It is also in a can boot.  ANY answers??????

a lot of joint injuries, ankles and knees especially (due to the impact and weight they bear all the time) can become aggravated WELL after the injury.  Time and what you're doing will set it right.


I am a republican.  I am pro-life because that is a pro-Christian thing to be.  Voting for amnesty is not pro-American.  I think Americans should let their senators who vote for amnesty be let known they will be voted out of office if they do not enforce the law with legislation that does exactly that.

They should be voted out!!! We need to speak up instead of B@#$HING on the net, right? This amnesty thing is crap! They should only have cirtain rights!


they started out as just friends, that worked together. the girl was having problems with her husband. so she started to hang out with wife more. and then they started to sleep together, she left her husband,but my wife did not leave me but broke up with me. made me sleep in the other room i could not leave because of money so i did what she wanted me to do. she told me that she wanted to sleep with a strait women. i was so hurt and felt betrayed that sometimes i did not want to get out of bed.the girl broke it off with my girlfriend, but wanted to stay friends so we started working on are relationship again . it has been down hill from their. i still love her but i want her to give us some time and not see this girl,but she refuses to do that.she says that they do not she each other a lot but i checked the phone bill and they talk a lot. she says that she loved her but not anymore i do not belive her. i feel that she is just waiting for this girl to come back to her .

I think your partner is trying to hold on to her old relationship with her friend just, as in your assumption. I also feel that relationship is about compromise and if your girlfriend really loves you she will respect how you feel and cut things off. Even if it is just a "friendship".  I think she needs to cut things off for you relationship to work. She has already betrayed your trust and wants you to standby her while she continues a friendship and your wondering if they are just friends. My advice is that you should tell her that it really hurts you that she wants to remain friends with her ex lover and that it is hurting your relationship . Also if she isn't willing to compromise then maybe you should leave her. It's not fair to you to hang around and wonder if she is going to hurt you again. You need to know she wants to work things out. Go with your instinct and gut feelings and everything will work out.\n\nBest of luck


with water ,doesnot .explain  the difference.

The thing is that iron III hydroxide isn't soluble in water.  It just sits there and doesn't make many hydroxide ions, which are necessary for a strongly basic solution.  Barium hydroxide, however, is soluble and breaks up into barium ions and hydroxide ions, giving a strongly basic solution.


do you like a girl to be shaved before have sex????


It is really nice.  But you can spend plenty of money there.  I went with my school when i was in school, it is a lot better to go with a few friends and family on a weekend.  There is a lot of things there that they have on school days.

I mean in mathematical theory using a pole on a fulcrum.

I assume this is an analysis of Archimedes' famous quote "Give me a place to stand, and I will move the Earth."  Unfortunately, while this is mathematically sound, it is practically impossible!\n\nLet me explain.  Say that the pole has a length L.  We'll place the Earth at one end, a person at the other end, and a fulcrum at a distance D from the Earth.  If the Earth exerts a force F_E and the person exerts a force F_0, then we have the equation\n\nF_E * D = F_0 * (L-D)\n\nThis was proved by Archimedes, of course.  We know that an object of mass M exerts a gravitational force of F = M g, where g = 9.81 m/s^2.  The Earth has a mass M_E = 5.9742 x 10^24 kg, and an average person has a mass M_0 = 70 kg.  This gives the the equation\n\n5.9742 x 10^24 * D = 70 * (L-D)\n\nso that L/D = 8.53457 x 10^22.  The length of the pole L depends on the location D where the fulcrum is placed.\n\nUnfortunately, this ratio is impractically large: If we place the fulcrum at a distance of D = 2 micrometers (which is slightly smaller than a strand of spider web), then the pole must be a length of L = 16.3 light-years.  This is farther in distance than the fartest known star!


Photovoltaic electricity  is becoming one of the best alternarive energy source nowadays but still a little  expensive. As ordinary electrice home user and solar power beginner, I am conscious of cost effectiveness. I understand silicon is standard material of solar cell which is just can not be manufactured at home so you must buy it, but can i make my own solar panel made of any insulated materials such as plywood or painted plain G.I. sheets with welded metal frame? Can I used 12v car battery and AVR as charge controller and a low cost bridge rectifier as inverter?

Absolutley, just make sure you include diodes so your batteries don't drain through the panels at night, and make sure everything is watersealed for obvious reasons

My house is worth approximately £200,000 pounds and I have a small mortgage for  £30,000 I recently became self employed and needed to borrow to finance a car and some business premises, plus I have to pay the bills. Hence the credit cards have started to creep up. i.e. I owe £30,000 to c.card companies and bank loans. What should I do my income hasn't really taken off and my advicer says that's ok I can do a projection and he can sort a mortgage out for me.  Can you help?

When you owe money, creditors get good at collecting. It my take a while, but they will come after it. Having said that, if mortgaging your house means you will have lower monthly payments to allow you the breathing room you currently need for your new business - it MAY make sense.\n\nUnderstand, lower monthly payments, just means lower payments, not lower overall cost. With a mortgage, the total dollar figure can be quite large - especially when you factor in fees.\n\nIf you can get an alternative loan, at a reasonable rate, consider that - it is a good idea to keep your business affairs separate from you personal.\n\nGood Luck!


could cysts or signs of cancer be the cause?

Adenomyosis (also referred to as Endometriosis Interna) can cause the uterus to appear boggy and enlarged.  While a diagnosis of adenomyosis can be based on a collection of symptoms and appearances on diagnostic tests, the only absolute diagnosis is through hysterectomy, which is also the cure for the disorder (no uterus=no adenomyosis).\n\nSometimes oral contraceptives or other hormonal agents can help shink the uterus, but symptoms (including pelvic pain and heavy blood loss during menses) may continue.  See your doc to be certain of what you might be dealing with and obtain the proper treatment.


Based on fact, opinion or anything else I am interested to see who NHL fans believe is the most underrated player in the NHL at this time. My vote goes to Tom Preissing of the San Jose Sharks, he led the teams Defensman in points and and is a very solid performer, playing of the top line and on power play. He definitely does not recieve as much recognition as he should.

Well, depends who's playing well and when.\n\nBut after wathing the Sharks-Oilers series, it's clearly Shawn Horcoff.  He's an all-round threat.  Plays defence, wins face-offs, kills penalties and scores clutch goals.  I love Horcoff and I don't think he gets the respect he deserves.\n\nTop ten underrated players IMHO:\n1.  Shawn Horcoff (Oilers)\n2.  Daniel Briere (Sabres)\n3.  Samuel Pahlssen (Ducks)\n4.  Jason Smith (Oilers)\n5.  Mike Fisher (Senators)\n6.  Derek Roy (Sabres)\n7.  Scott Hannan (Sharks)\n8.  Andrei Markov (Canadiens)\n9.  Olaf Sapryken (Predators, I think?) (former Flame anyway)\n10.  Fernando Pisani (Oilers)\n\nThere's probably lots of others too, but I want these guys on my team...


The people that know more about life dont believe in god. Why? Biologist had the lowest percentage of believers(5%) They know more about the human body than anyone. So they have a better chance of being right. Dont you think? How could theist claim to know more than these people? It feels good to be an atheist knowing this. I share a disbelief with the smartest people on earth. Who believes that god exist? The dumbist people on earth. Study shows that countries with a lowest literacy rate have the highest percentages of theists. Why?\n\ninformation source\nhttp://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/news

Dear Wanda,\n\nMy experience is that scientists in general have the same amount of faith (or non-faith) as the population at large. \n\nHaving said that, the degree to which some scientists dont believe in God does not make their belief or non-belief truth...\n\nTo me, what is more important (than the numbers) is the reasons that people (including scientists) give for their belief, or non-belief.\n\nYou mention that the people who believe that god exists are the dumbest people on earth... \n\nIn response... If you read the information in the links I provide below, and then still think that I am one of the dumbest people on earth (because I am a Christian theist), then please let me know, and I will accept your judgment, with humility.\n\nI used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. \n\nFor a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nFor scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm\n\nFor evidence for the historicity and truth of Jesus Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/jesus.htm\n\nFor information regarding scientists who believe in God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/scientists.htm\n\nCordially,\nJohn


Question worded more precisely: On one end of the spectrum you have an imovable object and on the other you have a force which can move anything.... what happens when they meet?

DISCLAIMER: the following only applies to those who believe in God.  \n\nHere is an even better question as an off shoot from this one: Can God create an immovable object?\n\nIf you say he can, then that means he can't move it, which puts a limit on his power.  But, if you say he can't, because he should be able to move anything, then again you are putting limitations on Him.  It's a real paradox.\n\nJust something to think about...

Phosphorus-32 has a half-life of 14.3 days.  How many days will it take for a radioactive sample to decay to one-eighth its original size?\n\nShow work, first to get it right gets the 10 points.

The half-life is the length of time it takes for one-half of a sample to decay.\n\nFirst you need to know how many half lives required to get to 1/8 of your original sample, and this is an easy one -- one half of one half is one quarter, one half of one quarter is one eighth:\n\n(1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8\n\nso to get to one-eighth its original activity, you need to go through three half-lives.\n\n(3 half-lives) * (14.3 days/half-life) = 42.9 days

I found Talmud, the most racist book on earth for the following reasons: \nIt delcares all Non Jews as the talking animals who killing is absolutely kosher and that all crimes committed by Jews against Non Jews are automatically forgiven on Yom-e-Kapur. The book even provides the list of the crime which are forgiven without asking and repenting. And these inlcude murder, rape, bank fruad, cheating, lying, etc. etc. \nThe word Gentile in Hebrew means Bastard! The word Cretinism (Infantile hypothyrodism, a mentally retarded condtion) means "Jesus Like" We know for sure that Jesus was the cuttest child ever born as he spoke so well and wise at birth (Ref: Quran). Teh word Israel which really means servant of the God, has been given the menaing in Hebrew one who wrestled with  the God (How much more can be stupidity). \nDo you find any other book more racist? Please give accurate references. Thank you

^Have you read the Talmud?  Have you studied it?  Can you understand it?  Do you know what it is?\n\nLet us not forget that the Old Testament is Jewish and the christians accept it in it's entirety.  Jews have to wait until Yom Kippur for forgiveness, even assuming your premis to be correct.  Cross-kissers can simply fess up at their convenience, mumble a few incantations and kiss a ring or a  statue to get theirs.  Protestants have to earn forgiveness, except for those sects who are doomed from birth (other than the select chosen ones.\nIf your question was intended to be anti-Semitic, it was a poor effort.  If it wasn't, learn a little about racism before you open your mouth because yours is blatant. \n\nAs for other racist books, try most anything put out by the monks in the Middle Ages.


Has anyone tried the iron on ink jet paper on any clothes?

Its not that you need special software  - you just need to buy the correct printer for it.  As long as you have that, you can print any image you can open on your computer onto iron on paper that you can iron onto your clothes.

Privatization allows for private companies to own industries instead of the public.  Some people think that this is bad but let me give you an example; The Fishing Industry.  Okay take a group of people seated in a circle and pass around a cloth bag full of chocolate candy kisses.  Tell everyone that they may each take as many as they wish and when the bag gets back to you, you will double the number of candies inside the bag and pass it around again.  I guarantee that the bag won't make it around the circle once before all the candies are gone, each person thinking that everyone else is conserving, so they can take a few extras.  Now give everyone there own bag of candies and tell them to take as many as they want and you'll double whats left.  This time everyone will have candy in their left in their own bag.  This is privatization.  This is an example of the fishing industry, now that some parts are privatized no one over fishes because then their area won't have any left for next year.

So hypothetically speaking, if you dug directly through the earth, when would your centre of gravity shift so you'd come out on the other side the right way up? And if you began digging upwards, would you fall back down the hole you'd been digging?

Technically you'd start digging up when you reached the centre of the core and entered the 'the half' whether you'd immediatly feel the shift is questionable... I think as you got right close to the centre of the earth your sense of up and down would weaken, so it wouldn't be until you'd got some way away that you'd feel like you were going up...and yes once you'd got up you would fall back down due to gravity. Think of the gravity as those like the force on those playground things you can spin in circle and the centrifugual force can be used to mkde you spin faster or slower as you hold yourself close in or furtehr out...the further out you are the more you feel the froce...the closer in the less obvious it is.\n\nEdit: 8928 the core is solid... your talking about the mantle in which even rocks are molten.


Many people point there fingers at the United States as having many problems.  True, I agree.  However, what about the others in the world.  If the U.S. is so bad, then why do so people consider it the Leading Free Country of the World?  What country has it together?

I'm interested to hear your opinion whether you agree or disagree but please don't insult my intelligence as I have researched this subject for several years. \n\nI have considered genetics and I hold my position. There is a lot of information that the general public isn't aware of.

I agree with you to a large degree. Personally I believe the tradition treatments, chemo and/or radiation..cause more problems are are ineffective. In alot of cases the patient dies as a result of complications of the treatment, not from the actual disease. Yes, diet...I think an organic diet makes a huge difference, putting more chemicals into a body that is struggling doesnt make a lot of sense. Alot of the meds, even pain meds like morphine, tend to produce angiogenesis in cancer cells and spread the tumors. Im a big believer in the budwig diet and I'm a big believer in meditation and visualisation. I do believe there are alot of other things you can also do to help. For example, biophosponate to stop the spread to bones...blocking the FE+ receptors..cancer cells need iron to divide and multiply, blocking the FE+ receptors deprives them of iron and they cant continue to divide and muliply..there is a chemical in anti-malarial meds that does this. I also strongly believe in Qigong - powerful chinese med to bolster the immune system. Oxidisation treatment, hyperbaric chamber...Dendric cell therapy .. IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy), Ultra Violet treatment...there is so much.  Good on you for looking further than the traditional!


I live in a small southern town and I have spoken with several lawyers. My Mom died because of negligence. I'm told that it would be hard to get another Dr to say it was neglience. Also that since there was no dependents there is no monetary loss and she was 82 and her life expectancy was not the best. There was pain and suffering on her part and on her family. I lost my best friend.We lived together and I took care of her. Is there anything that can be done? The medical professional didn't do what was standard practice. She just sent my Mom home with "I'll order blood work tomorrow." Are there any law professional on yahoo that can give me some advice?

Here's a lawyer referral service from the American Bar Association. \n\nhttp://www.abanet.org/legalservices/findlegalhelp/home.cfm

I am married, she has a boyfriend. We have talked about being bi-curious.  I can't help but want her.  How do I approach it?

Wow.  That's going to be tough.  Lot of chance for an extreme amount of rejection and if it goes badly, that might be the end of the friendship.\n\nI would not recommend alcohol.  You don't want this to be a situation where it can be claimed that you took advantage of her.\n\nJust bring up the subject again as that you've already talked about it.  You can't just start with that though...lead into it by maybe talking about an actress that you find attractive.  Say something like "she's so hot, even *I* would...etc."  Bring up your previous conversation, tell her you've been thinking about it more lately.  Ask her what kind of woman she'd want to try it with.  Hedge around it...guide the questions to find out how close you can get to it.  Leave her and yourself a lot of outs...\n\nOr...Hot tubbing?  "Accidental" contact under the water...footsies, in essence.  See how she reacts?\n\nBut.  You are married.  Unless your husband has okayed this sort of extracurricular activity...this would be a mistake.  You have seriously got to ask yourself whether you want to jeopardize your relationship over this.  On the bright side, your husband most likely would say go for it, as long as he gets details and/or something else from it...


This question is for muslim friends here. I am alittle confused because some people say Islam is purely a religion, but when I read history I found that Islam was spread as political invasion, just like any other emporium (Roman, Persian...etc.). My question is simply, what if people of some country accepted Islam and embraced it but they still wanted to maintain their independence? why should they accept a ruler who was foreigner from their country?\n\nTo give you an example, when Islam entered Algeria, it was an independent country by that time, so why people were supposed to accept to be  ruled by muslim leader from another country? Some might say it is to teach them Islam, but I think a scholar can also teach them Islam much better. Please comment.

Politicians used the basis of Islam, a religion, to strengthen their claimed authority.


if they dont have a website dont even bother with this question.

I have been looking into joining to Police Force which is coming along, but i have also looked into becoming a firefighter and there is this black cloud when ever i tell people " A woman being a firefighter? " i know it must be hard work. But can woman really strive to do a mans job whatever that may be nowadays!?

YES! I am a female firefighter and I have been for 3 years. I am 26 years old. It really isn't that hard and most of things you learn is common sense! Sure there is a lot of physical work, but when your adrenaline is going, you can do all sorts of things that you never thought possible ( i dragged a guy out of his burning car that weighed 290 lbs, I weigh 150lbs). The guys on my fire dept. were pretty rude at first, but I proved to all of them that I could do it and now they have nothing but total respect for me. You go girl!!! And if you need more advice let me know!!!!


MP_Notifier.exe is a file that is installed as part of the Moviepass software and it causes a regular pop-up window to remind you to make payment for the Moviepass service.\n\nNow I'm guessing that you haven't actually agreed to Moviepass being installed on your computer and for the last week have been getting more and more pop-ups demanding payment - does this sound familiar?\n\nWhat you need to do is to remove this program along with a bunch of other programs and all the instructions you need can be found here... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass


At the birthday party that one kid beat akeelah by placing the letters FMN (I think) onto her word beating her. What word was that? I've forgotten it now, but when I looked it up yesterday, there were no online dictionaries that could define it for me. Throughout the rest of the movie I kept thinking to myself "That wasn't a real word!" I don't think it even had any vowels.

That word is probably nth. Nth is a mathematical word and is the only word without a vowel. I'm not quite sure. I know there is no "F", but it is probably nth.


I want to use a laptop in an isolated area with no mains electricity. I wondered how easy and costly it would be to rig up some sort of wind-turbine to charge up a car-battery. Any idea what sort of gear I would need, how much it would cost and where to get hold of it (eBay perhaps).

Solar Cells are more suitable and available at just about every camping store. They also require less maintenance. The link below may interest you:


Is it a sin never to marry? What if u stayed together as partners and had kids? Would it be a sin if you weren't married? Would you burn in hell?


The ancient Egyptians were doing very well until they invented it. The ancient Greek and Roman civilations collapsed not long after embracing it. Some of the American civilizations were doing okay until they were overrun by it. These civilizations may have been low tech, but they did not consume natural resources in the unsustainable way that many people think will cause the collapse of our own civilization.

If you have the One True Faith in the One True God, then you're not likely to be very tolerant of heretics and  pagans.

Okay, my teacher who shall remain nameless we think is a molestar\and or pedafile. Why?Because he is always flirting with girls and he has a myspace and has given it out to many of my fellow peers. He also calls and textmessages girls at school. Many people think this,not just me. In fact my friend even came to me and said the first month he started working at our school(he was the replacement for my other teacher who had to leave our school, to go work at another one)that she did not like him. She said he was too friendly and touchy and she did'nt like the way he made her feel. I think he's secretly sleeping with one of the girls.What about you?

You might want to go to your guidance/adjustment counselor with your feelings.  In this day and age when this sort of thing goes on everywhere, it is good that you talk to someone.  If you are uncomfortable it will make you feel better about the situation.  I would too talk to your parents, let them know that you have something of importance to talk to them about.\n\nIt is not professional for him to be doing these things.  He has crossed the line handing out his myspace info to his students.  Even if it is innocent, it is not appropriate behavior for a teacher.  You NEED to talk to someone in your school (school nurse, another teacher, guidance/adjustment counselor, someone)...let them know that you want this to be on record...it could save someones life or sanity.  Most school's keep student's identity anonymous...you are under 18 I take it?\n\nI wish you luck.  Do not let others persuade you to NOT talk...it is a matter of heath and safety!  \n\nAnd the first answerer...you don't even have the b*alls to put a name to your picture you are the one that is small minded!  And truly you could be the teacher she is talking about!

Hi. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to software programs, or other tools to help keep them organized. I have meetings weekly with my manager, and have 4 staff who report to me. I have weekly meetings with all managers in the company as well. I have to keep track of these meetings, and prepare for them. I also have "to do items after the meetings. I have to keep track of employees requested days off, things that I have to remember for the weekly payroll, ect. I need a system that will keep the things I need to do on the forefront of my memory, instead of in the background. How do I keep everything organized? What is the best software to use? Would a PDA be better? Which one? How about a manual system? Any tips appreciated

Hello,\n\nA PDA would help you a lot to do this. I would recommend you to use a PDA that has a mobile phone included too (a cell and a PDA is very difficult to carry both in the same time - every moment of the day).\nThe best software tool to organize yourself is Outlook. It helps me a lot!\n\nAfter all is not all about what kind of PDA or software you use, is just about using them correctly, or at least often enough!\n\nGood luck!

As far as I know, all surgeons general are doctors but not necessarily military personnel.  Yet the US surgeon general, no matter who it is, wears a uniform similar to the one worn by members of the US Armed forces during formal events, as opposed to a suit or a tux like we might wear.  On the other hand, the US *Attorney* General for example, wears a business suit when in public, just like anyone else would.  I've always thought it was odd, and I wonder if I'm the only person who ever noticed.

The Surgeon General is the executive officer of the United States Public Health Service, what is a non-military uniformed service:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Uniformed_Services\n\nThe distinction between a commissioned officer of a non-military uniformed service and a civilian is important under the laws of war. Members of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the NOAA Corps are considered as non-combatants in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, in Category V.\n\nAlso the Surgeon General holds the rank of Vice Admiral

What are the things that we can do as a people to fix the worldwide problem of racism?

Be ourselves and not allow society to form our opinions or our judgments.  I'm a white girl, but my boyfriend's black.  We're madly in love, and both of our familys accept each of us...because we got to know eachother before making any judgements.  I hear rude stuff all the time, like, "He's a trader," and "Uh-uh, that don't make no sense."  I even get evil glares from white men when we go out...but I don't mind, cuz he's the one that I go home with at night, so that's all that matters.

I am 29 yrs man. I am attracting towards men. I had sex with few men also. I have not getting erection while thinking women . but gets strong erection while thinking like mens. I  would like to marry a girl this year can I have any problem after marriage ? Somebody told me that this problem will clear after marriage is it true? Please inform me any sexologist’s site  for discussing this matter. Is this is a mental problem or physical problem clear my doubts.

Getting married is not going to change anything - if you are turned on by males, you are turned on by males and that's it. Why is this a problem for you? There isn't anything you can do to alter your sexual orientation, although dumb religious nuts often tell you that you can.Just enjoy sex with men.

in the event of europe coming together is it true to say that we will be like the roman empire and the world is ours

I strongly doubt there will ever be a United States of Europe. First, consider the language barrier, different government styles (parliamentary, monarchy etc), different international associations and military traditions. Secondly, the recent enlargement is likely to have a domino effect of making agreement among member states increasingly difficult, leading to indecision and political stagnation. Last but not least, the continuing debate about allowing Turkey to join the EU will undoubtedly be the demise of this intergovernmental institution.


I want to have it so I don't have to update every page. I just want it so when I update a page, I don't have to update it in the other layouts.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, so I'll try and explain both possible answers.\nYou could mean that you want to change the look and style of your page (for example backround color) randomly for each user, or have an option for the user to change the page design. You do this using both JavaScript and "CSS", both of which can work with just about any web hosting and will work in just about all new web browsers.\nIt works by putting all the information about your websites style, for example text size and color, in a special file. You can get quite details and label styles, and then specify what style goes where. \nThink of this as setting your headers as being bold and a large size, but normal text not being bold and medium size. You could have something like..\n\n.paragraph { font: 12pt Bold; } \n.header { font: 15p Bold; } \n\n\nNormally you add a mention of the special file in your main HTML web page with a line like \n\n<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mywebstyle.css" />"\n\nThen you just need to specify if your paragraph is plain text or a header like so...\n\n
HEADER!
 \n
This is our paragraph
 \n\nNotice the use of class="style"\n\nUsing JavaScript, you can add a link that automaticly loads another .css file, or css details within the original css. \nAssuming you keep everything in one CSS file (the easyiest and most organised way) you can just define an extra style, for example we could expand our earlyier styles in the CSS file to..\n\n.paragraph1 { font: 12pt Bold; } \n.header1 { font: 15p Bold; } \n.paragraph2 { font: 12pt Bold; } \n.header2 { font: 15p Bold; } \n\nNow if we add an "ID" to our paragraphs such as...\n\n
HEADER!
 \n
This is our paragraph
 \n\nwe can then change the class (the class specified is just the default) using something like.\n\nUse Header 1\nUse Header 2\n\nOf course I've tried to keep my answer short, so it's possible that doesn't all make sence. You'll need to search around for "CSS Style Change" , or for a couple of good starters try http://css.somepeople.net/dynamic and for a really good example goto http://www.spoono.com/javascript/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=18&settutstyle=1 where you can see the effect in action.\n\n\nAnother option is to use file "includes". This is where you can use reacuring code of your website in one file, and get diffrent pages to include parts of an original file. For example, on Yahoo Answers, every page has the Logo, some signin information and the "ask, answer, discover" banner.\nInstead of adding the code for this section manual on everysite, Yahoo just needs to add this part of the site to a file on it's own, and call this file as part of the main page. For example something like this...\n\n\n<include = "TheTopOfThePage.inc">\n
Main stuff unique to this page
\n<include = "BottomOfThePage.inc">\n\nand for another page...\n\n<include = "TheTopOfThePage.inc">\n
Some other page with diffent stuff>\n<include = "BottomOfThePage.inc">\n\n\nThe problem with this is that the code has to be added on the SERVER, that is the place where the HTML files are kept. The server itself adds the code and sends it complete to the CLIENT, so in fact, even with the above code the CLIENT never sees the "include" links but insteads sees the contents of the ".inc&quo


Genetic uniqueness" can be shared by multiple individuals, particularly indentical twins.\n\nThe moment that a developing fetus first exhibits an EEG pattern consistent with that of a mature brain is indicative of the beginning of human life.\n\nObservations to date have led to the conclusion that 25 weeks of gestation is required for the formation of synapses needed for recognizable neural activity.\n\nStop the Anti-Choice activists! They're hypocrites! They kill living cells all the time. Masturbation is Murder. All of those potential lives killed at once! It's wrong!

IS IT BAD THAT WHEN I SEE A NAKED GIRL I GET TURNED ON BUT I'M ATTRACTED TO MEN AND I ONLY DATE MEN. I'M CONFUSED

No, it's not a bad thing sweetie.  I'm the same way.  If I see a cute girl, and she's in the locker room getting dressed or undressed I think about sex, but I'm not gay, and I like to be with men too.  You shouldn't be confused.  I stopped being confused a long time ago.  It's a visual thing, you're not gay, it's just a visual turn on..just like me.


For a hydralic jack with a primary cylinder 4cm in diameter, what diameter secondary cylinder will be needed to reduce the motion distance to 1/4 the primary on the secondary?

Since the motion distance is 1/4 then the force produced will be four time the input force\nF1/F2=A1/A2(F is force and A is area)\n A1/A2 = pi 2 * 2 / pi r * r\n & F1/F2 = 1/4\n4/r^2=1/4\nr = 4 cm.\n\nTherefore dia. of secondary cylinder = 4*2 cm = 8cm.

What is the correct technique of using a metered blood pressure instrument with stethoscope attached to it?

The correct method of taking a blood pressure with this instrument would probably be the same technique used with a regular sphygomometer and stethoscope. I would just be sure to find the brachial pulse and place the bell of the sthethoscope here. Everything else should be normal unless the instrument is automatic. In this case just push the button and the blood pressure will be recorded.


I just want to know the members and all that sorta stuff.....albums, hits, how long they have been around....

The lead singer is Johnny Rzenik. The band's been around the block. They broke onto the scene with a song called "Name," and people really started paying attention when they did a song for the soundtrack of a Meg Ryan and Nicolas cage film, "City of Angels." The title was "Iris," and the song was very popular.\n   A couple of years ago they released a CD called "Gutter flower" and recorded another song for a soundtrack- "I'm Still Here," for Disney's flim, "Treasure Planet." They are releasing another album shortly, if they haven't already.

I know chromium is Cr while Iron is Fe. How about chromite and iron ore?

Chromite is iron magnesium chromium oxide: (Fe,Mg)Cr2O4\n\nIron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in colour from dark grey to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), limonite or siderite.

let just say, the pyramids alone... whats the conection? are these also paranormal activities?

Excellent question. I have often thought about this before. They say that Egyptians never came to the new world but I don't buy it. Pyramids, heiroglyphs, burials, tombs And they way they looked. Too much to be coincidence. National geographic has a special called the curse of the cocaine mummies. They found the coca plant in Egyptian mummies which proves that they had trade.


Those who have not had the great fortune of dying in childhood risk going to hell.  The baby didn't have to do anything to earn heaven.  How is this fair?\n\nOf course, it would not be fair to send the baby to hell either.  So what could God do with the baby's soul so that things would be fair?

Heron, I love you, but this is touchy.\n\nI've lost 3 babies.  I do believe that they are in heaven because they are innocent.\n\nAs a mother who has lost them, I see no "great fortune of dying in childhood."\n\nLogically, I know their safety and security is not really your point.  And that you're not really saying that it's good that they died.\n\nThe difference is that babies, and children, don't sin.  They're not old enough to make the decision to seek God or to reject Him.\n\nMy understanding is that God doesn't want anyone to go to hell.  That's why He gave so much for our redemption.\n\nThat He doesn't require those too young to do what is necessary to receive redemption is not only fair, but gracious and merciful.\n\nThat He gave His Own Son to offer us the gift of salvation is not only fair, but gracious and merciful.

I don't understand how so many men can be so shallow. Why do so many men only attracted to women with average/large breasts? Why do so many men look at t he body, and look for women with large breasts and slim bodies rather then girls who might not have a curvy and full chest, or a perfectly lean body, but are still good people?\n\nI can't understand it - and really get aggitated when people pay attention to be just because I have boobs. >.<;

I don't worry about that too much.  It's nice, but I don't obsess over it, and I don't even care at first.  I wouldn't date an unhealthy person though, but I wouldn't date anyone who's stupid either.  I prefer intelligence and health above all else.  \nIf that's all they pay attention to you for, then you have an effective way to weed out worthless friends.

Well you don't just get into it. Your going to need training and at least a few years of experience under your belt. Your going to need to start out in Indy promotions before a big step like that.


For those of you who say (or actually repeat what they hear without researching) that Bush went to Iraq for the oil, please answer:\n\nWhy hasn't the U.S. taken over the oil fields, and taken oil from Iraq?\n\nalso:\n\nCan you please show me exactly how bush is connected to 'big oil'.  I would like something more than, "his family made their money in oil."   Please show me (with documented proof) where Bush is linked to gas prices.  \n\nSince I'm not a sheeple like most liberals, I would like to see something more concrete than accusations.  thanks.

I am a liberal and have never used the "war for oil" argument. The argument I use is "war for riches". It made no difference who we attacked, as long as we attacked somebody. Halliburton is recording record profits, and Dick Cheney by extension. Bush's father is making a lot of money through the Carlyle Group, which owns United Defense Industries, United States Marine Repair, and EG&G Technical Services, all of which are turning heavy profits from this war.\n\nAs for the correlation between Bush and gas prices, I think his actions have a direct, although unintentional, effect of raising them. It's supply and demand. Before the war Iraq produced 3.5 million barrels of oil per day. Now they are producing 1.6 million. Oil prices spiked slightly when the administration talked about attacking Iran for the first time - fear speculation.\n\nThere are an equal number of sheeple on both sides of the aisle. Blindly following anyone is not patriotism, it's stupidity.

1st, none of us were there. 2nd, we are unaware of ppl's sex lives here on earth today,so, why would Jesus discuss what happens behind closed doors. 3rd, there is no reference in the Bible to prove if He did or didn't. He was human and Divine. A tough combination, that's why God chose Jesus and not any of His other children to die for the sins of the world.


I just broke up with my boyfriend of 7months. \nWhat are some of the things you did to get over your ex boyfriend. p.s i lost my virginity to his guy. Please help!!

i know it hurts right now. a lot. there's probably nothing anyone can say that will make the pain go away completely. just ease the pain by spending time with friends and family, who will give you support and get your mind off the situation for a little while.\n\nremember that sometimes people are in your life for a short time, for you to learn from them or for you to teach them something. and then they're just gone.\n\nsometimes the best relationships don't work out for one reason or another, but there are so many bright stars in the sky!\n\nkeep your memories! the good ones are yours to treasure forever. the bad ones are yours too, to learn from! sometimes relationships are just stepping stones to get us to where we are meant to be in the future.\n\nkeep smiling! i know it's hard. but soon you will begin to be able to laugh again and you'll be okay!


i dont know if i need cash to buy a small amout of things and i'd rather just use my card

I work in retail, there is no minimum spend using visa electron, however it is up to the discretion of the retailer as he pays a percentage to take the card, usually approx 3%, therefore he may set a minimum level to make it worth his while.
