What anti-depressants work for chronic depression?  Does exercise work just as well?  How do you stay motivated when your "support system" of family and friends perpetuate the stigma of depression and mental illness by denying that there's a problem and by refusing to offer emotional and financial support and referrals for counseling and other helpful resources to get out of the rut of despair and hopelessness.

What are some of the many shadows of jesus the are represented by josaph's life? Format it Joseph Did such and such Jesus did so on ect. Good Luck This is for the learned

JOSEPH AND JESUS\n(to save time and space, when I think the parallel is obvious I don't include a "->" for connection to Jesus)\n\n\nCh 37 - Jacob's beloved son\nsent to his brothers\nhis brothers hated him/were jealous\n--> the leaders were jealous of Jesus\n\nJoseph's dreams of his eventual rule over his brothers\n    --> Jesus' announcements of his exaltation as son of man ?\n[Joseph's second dream concerns 'sun, moon & stars' bowing down to him\n--> Jesus DOES literally rule sun,moon & stars! (& all principalities & powers)]\n\nrejected, betrayed/sold for silver\nGen 37:19-20  They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer. \nCome now, let us kill him...\n--> leaders of Jesus (in parable of tenants):\n"This is the heir, come let us kill him"\n\nCh 39-40\nimprisoned/condemned on false accusation\n(even then Potiphar, 'captain of the guard' does NOT want to kill him,\napparently recognizing his innocence?\n--> Pilate recognizes Jesus' innocence, tries not to crucify)\ncast into 'the pit' (ch 37 & 39)\n--> Jesus descends 'into the pit' (the REAL thing! =the grave)\n\nCh 40\n   (not directly about Joseph, but may point to Jesus)\ncupbearer & baker  [wine & bread?] 'lifted up' in two ways --\nexalted to serve the King  \nvs.  impaled/on a tree {on the third day}\n  --> Jesus is "lifted up" = on a tree (crucified)\nbut also exalted by the Father (play on words in John 12)\n\nCh 41\npeople marvel at his wisdom\n--> people often marvel at Jesus' teaching with authority\n(also the leaders in the temple marvel at wisdom of Jesus as a boy)\nraised up to serve the King\n\nCh 45 (cf. ch 50)\nforgives his brothers\n--> Jesus' death results in preaching of FORGIVENESS of sins\n   beginning with his faithless disciples, then those who crucified him!\n\n'you meant if for evil; God meant it for good' to save MANY lives (includes Egypt & nations) -\n        --> people killed Jesus but according to God's plan [Acts 2:23] resulting in salvation to the NATIONS\n\n<compare/contrast?\n   figure of God fulfilling his promise when Joseph's bones are taken to rest in the land or promise    \n   --> God fulfills promise to Jesus by NOT leaving him in the grave; a GREATER fulfilment, showing that God's deeds for & through Joseph... were indeed a "shadow" of something greater (just as Jospeh is brought out of 'the pit' of imprisonment, but Jesus from the pit of death itself >

Porn together is okay but, I am talking about a husband who 'just looks' at it.

I don't really care\n\na long as he isnt looking at it 8 hours a day, spending the grocery budget on films and websites, looking at kiddy/animal porn or neglecting his real sex life or something unreasonable then theres no harm done.

i asked this dude to prom and he said yes but i also found out he had a gf, eventhough i only want to go as friends i kind of feel bad, i dont have feelings for him or anything though.

he said yes! no matter what he thinks of his girlfriend, he said yes. you do however, need to tell him you only want to go as friends, if you didn't already. and if he likes you, you need to respect his gf and not go ANY further than friends. And if he does just want to go as friends, what a cool guy. Have fun! And good job for asking a guy!


My brain doesn't seem to comprehend things as well. I feel like I can NEVER make my woman slightly happy, and MAINLY bc of that, it makes me feel nauscious and underachieved. i feel i NEED to impress her. I really love this girl, and she has GREAT morals, and values, and is fine. \nSo, what the fuck is going on with me???????????????

Being a female myself. Try not thinking so much. If she loves you she will appreciate whatever you do. i personally like the little things, getting flowers at work, him calling just to say I love you, He once covered one of my walls in my room with post it sticky notes (each one with something he liked about me written on it) not sure if she'd likeany of those but they might help.

Whenever i import something in widescreen, WMM converts it to "fullscreen" by stretching it.  Is there any way i can make the video stay widescreen when it's going through?

Yes, all you have to do is set your Movie Maker settings so that it knows that you are working on a widescreen project.  Go to Tools > Options > Advanced and look for the section on 'Aspect Ratio'.  Change it from 4:3 (fullscreen) to 16:9 (widescreen).


theres a movie about a couple of boys who steal a hot dog vender and kill a guy on an escalader and then they go to juvy and get raped thats all i know

The movie is called "Sleepers".  I just finished reading the book a few months ago.

I have a full-time job, i live at home with mom and still can't get out of debt.  I don't spend money foolishly, except for going out to the bars.  So obviously I know you'll say to stop doing that.  But I would like some input on how else I can slash my debt.

Living your current life has, presumably, put you into debt. I don't think anyone can promise you a method to get you out of debt without your making changes.\n\nThings that you can do include:\n- spending less, even if you still go out\n- making more than minimum payments on credit cards; pay more than you've charged for the month plus the interest due\n- negotiate for lower interest rates on credit cards\n- don't charge things on credit cards\n- start saving money so that you have resources should the unexpected occur\n\nYour public library should have books that help you gain control of your finances. In addition, I'm sure there are several online sites.\n\nDon't expect things to be easy, or a quick fix. But with a little planning, you can start gaining your financial independence.


I need to no what is the best way to tell a girl u like her

Just tell her. Be open and honest. And don't sound goofy.


(eg for a BBC survey) This has happened to me more than once, that only Canada and the US are categorized as North American, and other options include Central America and South America. But I was always taught that Mexico is part of North America. (Duh, NAFTA). I think it's a gross example of geopolitical snobbery to exclude Mexico from North America categorically, and to boot, not even list it separately. Part of Latin America? yes. But they don't say that. They say South America.

I've come up against that often. It drives me crazy (and I'm from one of the two countries that do get listed). It seems that about 1/3 of people think there are only two countries in North America, another 1/3 think there are noly three (this time including Mexico) and no more than 1/3 of the people I've met (even North Americans themselves) know that there are dozens of countries in North America (37 countries and territories), which includes everything north of Colombia, Venezuela and the Guianas.\n\nIf you want to be proactive, you should write to the editors of the web sites that you've seen it in.

I accidentally deleted files from the recycle bin as well.\n\nWhen I ran my norton antivirus programme one of the files being checked was E:\recycled and I saw my deleted files there.\n\nIs it possible for me to access this folder and retrieve my files from there.\n\nMany thanks

Yes it is possible, you need to find a programme that will recover data that you have deleted. I dont know any names, but look on Google for something like "file recovery".  However, stop using your computer right now.  The more you use it, the less likely it is that you will get those files back.\n\nDeleted files are not removed from your computer, the data space they take up is simply marked with an "over write" command.  Therefore, if you keep using your computer then you will may eventually lose your data, and it will be un-recoverable.


Lately I feel bad a lot and I have a 13 yr old to finish raising. I am all he has. I Pray for healing but I geuss not enough Faith. Does everyone get sick when thay have this

in all probability it will have a great influence of your cause of death.  How much it has reduced your life cannot be measured exactly.. It has reduced your life expectancy considerably but the term 'life expectancy' is only a statistcal measurement which has no real bearing on just 1 person.  Yes you might die of complications caused by Hep C.. You might choke on your next meal and die..  or a plane might crash into your house and kill you.. You might even win the lottery..\n\nWe were all born to live to die. When we are born or when we die we have no control over.. how we live our lives is the part that we do have control over.. act accordingly.


So, if evolution is true, why don't we find thousands of "in-between-stages" of evolving animals, and why is there NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of MACRO-evolution. im talking evidence, not a lesson in faith.

If you are talking "in between", what are you comparing it to?  'between' what and what?\n\nEvery living organism is 'in between' what its ancestors were like and what its descendants will become.\n\nIf you look through the fossil record, there are many many thousands of transitional fossils that show gradual changes in physical characters, often 'in between' one form and another.\n\nIn terms of human evolution, starting with a chimpanzee-like ancestor and ending with modern Homo sapiens sapiens, there is Australopithecus afarensis that shows adaptations for a bipedal stance - downward directed acetabula in the pelvis, broadened attachment for enlarged gluteal muscles, and greater ossification of the patella.  There is also some reduction of prognathism in the face which is related to balance issues as A. afarensis began standing upright.  All of these features are 'in between' those of chimps and the descendants, such as Australopithecus africanus which develops many of the adaptations of A. afarensis slightly farther, including even more bipedal stance, and the beginning of expansion of the brain cavity.\n\nOnce you get into the genus Homo, such as Homo habilis, there are further 'in between' forms.  The trend in general is towards enlarged braincase, and smaller face.  Homo erectus is 'in between' H. habilis and early Homo sapiens.  Early Homo sapiens is in between H. erectus and modern man (Homo sapiens sapiens) etc.\n\nFrom the earliest chordate, Pikaia, through the earliest jawless fish, through the development of jawed fish, to the evolution of bony fish, to the development of muscular lobed fins in the Sarcopterygii, to the development of lungs in the Rhipidistians, to the modification of limbs into legs in the amphibians, to the development of shelled eggs and terrestrial life in the early reptiles, to the changes in skull fenestration and jaw anatomy in the Synapsids, to the modification of keratinous scales into keratinous hair, to the development of a single boned jaw and sensitive, three-boned inner ear in the early mammals, through Morganucodon and the earliest Monotremes, and the adaptation of a diphyodont, heterodont specialized dentition, and modification of sebacious glands to provide fat-rich nourishment to young mammals, to the adaptation of bearing live young, and the nourishment of developing young through a placenta, and slow, gradual expansion of the brain case throughout the primate lineage, the increase in manual dexterity and the loss of a tail in the ape lineage, there are transitional forms for every single one of these steps, and many many many more.\n\nOr can you actually come up with any kind of SCIENTIFIC reason to reject this evidence?


is there a website where I can download chinese and korean songs for free? Lyrics also?

You need a P2P program for that. Make sure that the songs you want aren't copyrighted in the US and I think that you won't have any trouble with legalities (not sure about that).\n\nThere's Kazaa-lite, Emule, and others that I can't remember.


how can i make an electrical device whos in put is 12v and output is 5v +ve


my friend asked me this and she said it's in Filipino. She said, "You look like you've been living in a bahay kubo for all these years."\nIs it a cave?

No, it's not a cave. Bahay kubo is a type of house made out of palm tree leaves.  It's a very modest type of house used in the provinces mostly by farmers.


i think they are sooooooo CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

ur right they are super cute! especially with shaggy sandy blonde hair!!!OMG!!!!


Why when diluting Acid do you add the acid to the water rather than the water to the acid

Acid dilutions usually produce heat, and potential spattering.  If, for instance, you had to dilute a strong acid by a factor of 2 (let's say you're taking 12 M HCl and diluting it to 6 M), and the material begins to boil over after you'd added 10% (so you're taking 100 ml of acid and 100 ml of water).  If you're adding water to acid, you've got a resultant solution that is now approximately 11 M, which can cause some serious damage to skin.  If you're adding acid to water, your resultant solution is only 1.1 M, which, while still dangerous, is much easier to control.\n\nYou have less chance of having a violent reaction when you add acid to water than the other way around.

I have heard that one of the safest places to be in a thunderstorm is in your car, because the rubber tires don't conduct electricity.  I smell an urban legend!  Is this true or false?

It is safer to be in your car than outside. \nUnder a tree is especially bad.\n\nThe reasons are because of the metal skin AND because of the tires:\n\n\nThe metal skin for the Faraday cage effect mentioned above.\n\nThe tires because they provide some, but not complete, insulation from the ground. The voltage drop (hence voltage difference) on the surface of the ground can be a typical *10,000 Volts/meter in the neighborhood of a lightning strike!!! I wouldn't want to be standing on that!\n\nThings that aren't grounded are much more likely to get hit.\nThus lightning rods, the use of which has been largely replaced by the (equipotential) grounding plane of your home's electrical system. The top wire in transmission lines is grounded for exactly this reason. (you can tell because it will not have the visible porcelain insulators). Your phone lines and cable lines are grounded as well to reduce their ability to communicate the transient voltages and to eliminate static build up relative to ground (which attracts lightning).\n\nSo in essence, you would want to be grounded to prevent a lightning strike from hitting you, but in case it did hit nearby, you would want to be insulated from the ground.\n\nA car would not be nearly as good as a house, and you would want to shut off your electronics, and not touch any metal, or be close to metal. Which would be tough to do in a car.\n\nIf i was in a wicked 'night of the Huntsman' thunderstorm and  i didn't have a house or car to hide in, i would go to the middle of an open field or ditch and ball up with the least contact to the ground as possible.

With a dial-up connection, why do I allways connect at a speed of 26400bps, and when i use the same connection on a diiferent computer, i conncet at 46000 bps. And the modem is the same of 54 k

My lands to have that speed!!!!!!!!  This is what the phone company (SBC) repair guy told me,  the speed depends on the location of computer, length of phone line going into computer & the distance of phone line entering home from main outside phone pedestal.  The phone pedestal is 1/2 mile from where line enters my home, I only get 24Kbps on a good day, hopefully no rain.  Hope this explains a little about the speeds.


Or do I just think that coz I am drunk and have taken drugs????

Never mind my other answers. Drinking I can accept in moderation, the drugs, forget it. I wouldn't sleep with you for anything.


Okay, my ex boyfriend, who I'm pretty sure I'm in love with, keeps hanging out with his most recent ex. Now, she stil lovesh him, and he misses her. But he promised he wouldn't date her again. But he keeps giving her the look like, "I still want you." GAh! I want to tell him how I feel but...I'm not sure if he feels it back. And everydayt I keep getting more paranoid about if he still even cares about me.

even if you want to tell him how you feel, i dont think its really gonna help. cause you said he already misses his ex and everything. so he must still have feelings for her.


I want to know if their is anyone else besides Charter Communications(Cable) in my area.


My ex-girlfriend is pregnate and i have a long time friend that just came back in to my life. I have a damn good chance with my old friend and i want to be with her something bad. And i care for my ex but sometimes she drives me mad. Any advice?

if it is your baby be a man help your ex out and if you think that your old friend is the one for you then tell her and see if she is ok with it.\n\nI grew up with out a father and it was a very hard life fore me please dont just leave her.\n\nand my honest oppion is forget the old friend and be with your babys mother. my sister and her husband dislike each other with a pasion. they have been maried 5 years. e-mail me and we will talk more


I think is going to be a SUPERSTAR not just a regular star. Especially after the WC when the whole world sees him. Only 18 year of age!

I have the luck to live in Spain, and Barcelona is my team, so I'm more than happy to have messi, etoo and ronaldhino in "my" team. watching the guy play is a real treat, and seen the fact that he's only 18 years old, the future looks good :) he, etoo and ronaldhino play what we like to call "samba football", but something messi has extra, is that he plays a top league game like he was playing with his friends in his backyard. :)


If so, how much?  I have the option of building a gas or woodburning fireplace into my new home at cost ranging from $3-5 thousand but I'm not sure it is worth it.

Yes it does, but it also increases you property insurance. PHB


I need this info for my high school senior project. Please help!

Read what "brucie" had to say.  It's perfect. Although, I will apologize for him since anyone who is not in the field probably won't have a full understanding of what he's talking about, but he nailed it none-the-less, even if you have to use a dictionary!  I'll just help a little, so your high school classmates won't get bored...\n\nA comprehensive eye exam has many steps.\n1. Unaided and aided visual acuities (how well you can see with and without glasses or contacts)\n2. detailed case history including detailed health history and list of medications. (any problems? how long?...)\n3. Objective measurements of the refractive state of the eye and corneal curvature readings. (usually done by automatic machines that take measurements and can accurately estimate your refractive power (your glasses prescription).  the curvature readings are also done with a machine and is the main test for contact lens wearers to make sure they fit right, also looks for abnormal surfaces)\n4.Gross observation of muscle deviations and movement. (checking motility by making you move your eyes in certain ways, left, up and left, down, etc, to make sure youre muscles work together and correctly)\n5. Confrontation fields (checks for possible blind spots or a decrease in your field of vision, as a screening, the most used method is finger counting in peripheral areas of vision and recording any section missed)\n7. Bio-microscopic examination of the anterior portion of the eye. (looking through the microscope at the front portion of your eye including your cornea and lens)\n8. Subjective refractive status ( better 1 or 2) distance and near (the machine that houses all the lenses is called a phoropter, this is how you get a glasses prescription, all those lenses have different powers, and whichever you like best becomes your prescription)\n9. Pressure readings for Glaucoma (some doctors use the "puff of air test" which measures the resistance of your eye to the air and records it with a number. Most use a blue light that attaches to the biomicroscope and actually touches your eye (after they numb it with a drop)and measures the resistance and gives you the number on a dial. Mostly it checks for glaucoma, but other eye conditions can change eye pressure too, that's why it is monitored)\n10. dilation of the pupils (everyone's favorite drops that make the black part of your eye open so the doctor can see into the back of your eye and can last anywhere from 4-24 hours depending on age and strength of drop used, usually 4-6 hrs to get back to normal for your age.)\n11. internal examination for health evaluations (the doctor can look all around in your eye checking for diseases, tears, holes or spots. Most eye diseases can be caught in the early stages with regular dilated eye exams.)\n\nAccording to the National Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, 80% of all blindness can be prevented with a yearly eye exam.\n\nGlaucoma (a disease of the optic nerve) goes unnoticed until you've lost 40% of your peripheral vision.  That's crazy! If glaucoma is detected early enough, you can prevent ANY vision loss.\n\nSorry I wrote a whole book, but I remember high school, and I figured I'd help you out.


Feel free to e-mail me with any comments.

no its not its still romantic but girls differ.i wouldn`t mind at all.


Its a premium multi-vitamin with plant extracts and all that.

Try taking it after you have eaten. Most daily vitamins make you wanna puke, if you take them on an empty stomach. Ask any pregnant women who takes her prenatal vitamins


They institute policies that favor the wealthy and burden generations to come, while using deception and outright lies to promote their agenda.  Jesus would not stand for this, so why do so many Christians?

This is another long one, sorry, but asking complicated questions and expecting short simple answers, isn’t realistic.\n\nThe religious right has two issues with Democrats; abortion and homosexuality.  Their need to impose their beliefs onto others is their motivating force behind supporting the Republican Party.  \n\nI am against abortion, but instead of creating laws which take control of a person’s beliefs and body out of that person’s hands, I believe in working harder to create a world where teenagers don’t get pregnant with unwanted children, where fathers don’t rape their children, and life is considered a gift from God.  Instead of being so determined to force a person to give birth to a child who will live a life of abuse and neglect or be dumped in a trash dumpster, they should work harder to create a world where people want to keep their children.  I believe they have given up on the power of faith and prayer.\n\nAs for homosexuality, most Christians don’t understand what the Bible says about homosexuality; they keep quoting a scripture from Leviticus which is alongside scriptures which condemn wearing cotton, shaving, and eating shell fish.  None of these Christians follow those rules, but still quote good old Leviticus to condemn something Jesus said nothing about. \n\nUsing watered down versions of the Bible which replaces the words for male prostitutes and rapists with homosexuals (a word and a culture which did not exist during the writing of the Bible), the Christian right are lost in a sea of misinformation.  \n\nInstead of following what Jesus commanded, they use the scriptures to justify what Jesus warned them not to do;  throw the first stone and judge in God’s name.\n\nUnfortunately there’s a lot of truth to what “bring ‘em on” says.  Up until the mid 1940’s modern day Republicans were Southern Democrats.  When Truman betrayed the party’s agenda of a segregated America by introducing the Fair Deal, they switched to the Republican Party.\n\nThe Republican puppeteers use the issues of abortion and homosexuality to instill fear into well meaning Christians in order to gain support for their agenda of a white, rich, segregated America.\n\nThe history is long and complicated and most people don’t have the desire to study Plato, Shakespeare, and read the philosophies of a man by the name of Emanuel Kant.  They don’t know who the Bones or the Skull and Crossbones are or how they originated.  It was no accident Roosevelt stayed out of WWII until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor or that every American city named Delano is almost 100% white. They take the word of their leaders and don’t know much about underlying philosophies of their party.\n\nTo learn all the history, or study a man named Erasmus, or understand how the Bible came about, takes years of research and can’t be found on some propagandist web-site.   The answer to your question is written in the history of mankind by philosophers, religious leaders and world rulers, but is like a mystery which you must unravel.


Have you seen a UFO, Ghost"s, BigFoot? Tell your story please!( I have never experienced anything "paranormal", I am curious to see how many people HAVE!!!???)

I have seen things I can't explain. That doesn't mean they are paranormal.  \n3 times in my life I've seen things others might describe as UFO's.  Once I was outside playing with friends (around 14  years old) and there were these weird lights.  We started to follow them but as soon as we left our dead-end street they vanished, but when we came back onto the street they were there again.\nAnother time (I was around 22) I was at an ATM at a mall at night (mall was closed) and a very bright object landed on the far side of the parking lot from me.\nThe third time I was a very young child on a drive with my parents and a shiny object fell out of the sky and crashed. We saw debris.\nI had many enounters with a ghost at my grandmother's old house. I never saw her, but I heard her.  And she used to cover me up when I slept over. \nWhen my red lory Scarlett died in 1994 she haunted my house for a while. My husband & others also saw her.  Guests would say "One of your birds is loose--the red one" and I'd say "I don't have a red one anymore" and check--all the other birds would be in their cages.\nMy friend had a white cat who lived at her store. The store caught on fire one night and the cat died. The firemen did try to save it but the smoke had gotten it.  She got a new cat, a grey one, but people kept telling her they'd seen a WHITE cat--customers who never knew she had one that died there.  I've never seen the white cat, but I've felt it brush my ankles when I could see the grey cat from across the room.\nspellcheck dead, sorry for errors.


My friend and I have always been somewhat flirtatious with each other, but it never seemed like anything was really going to happen with it. We hooked up about a month ago (St. Patricks Day), and after that things were a little wierd. We're okay now, back to being close friends, but he and I both know that I have feelings for him. I'm not sure if he feels the same way, so how do I get myself to settle for being friends? Should I keep trying?

girl i've been there and done that. I think the best thing is to just let him talk to you. If he already knows how you feel then i would just let it go for now.  If its meant to be then it will be


It depends on the situations and the cultural settings.\nAttitudes ,values and lifestyles are fast changing and replacing with new ,especially with reard to people living in highly industrialized cosmopolitan and dynamic societies. \n\nSelecting the right tools& techniques to extract the information from tbe Target population on various VALS parameters required for decision making (strategic planning) is the main problem. Moreover,it requires a practical psycho-sociological approach to understand and address various issues involved .\nThe right segementation of the target population based on the Psychographic traits & charecterstics is extremely important in this case.  To sum up, If someone is able to gather qualitative and wholistic information that can be validated ,VLAS would make an excellent tool for strtegic decision making.


i had a blood test done a few weeks ago and the nurse couldn't find my vains.( i have moveable vains) so, he had to take the needle deeper  into my arm to get blood out of my artery. it hurt so bad that i cried, and my arm hurt for days after. my dr wants me to get another blood test but i am to afraid to get one cause i can't stand the pain when they move the needle around to find my vains.  what can i do to to take the fears away of getting another blood test?

Here's a few comments/answers:\na) as mentioned, for routine blood work it is not necessary to get arterial blood.  There are many trick to getting a venous puncture on difficult patients but I have yet to see the need to resort for an arterial sample.  There are however some test that require arterial blood (common ones already mentioned in another answer)\nb) Properly done venous phlebotomy is minimally painful (similar to fly bit) and you shouldn't be too afraid.  Its a walk in the park when compared to arterial punctures.\nc) To make things easier: the best trick has been mentionned, hydrate very well (even over hydrate).  Easiest way to do this is drinking ALOT of water before going (a few hours head of time).  As a gross measure of your hydration status you can use the color of your urine.  A well hydrated person will have clear urine.  The exception to this is if you're taking diuretics (ex: caffeine, Alcohol, cranberry juice, prescription).  If you're a healthy individual (no other conditions such as Hypertension, diabetes, renal insufficiency, CHF to mention a few) another effective way to hydrate is to take Oral Re-hydration Formula (see WHO for home recipe).\n\nLong answer, but I hope it helps.


I am familar with the binomial , normal, poisoon , and probability distributions. Can any of them, or others be used to describe the variation in time on a sundial or a watch , for example the time of true noon on the sundial as compared to time of 12 on a watch.

It is called the equation of time. It isn't really statistics though.


everything, so for smoking too, does anybody have any list of it? Pls dont answer NONE , only ppl whom know something abt it should answer.

No doubt the reason you got the sniffles when you didn't smoke was because your body was clearing out all the gunk from your respiratory system - this is common, and it is the begining of getting back to good health and a longer life.  Don't delude yourself that smoking has any benefits, unfortunately any fleeting pleasure is offset by continued niggling guilt, social ostracizing, huge waste of money going to mega rich tobacco cos, and a 50% chance of suffering and dying from the worlds most preventable cause.\nThere's a lot of free info and interesting stuff, plus ways to quit at http://www.quitguide.com


I understand your question but i'm sorry to answer you in English.

I need to lose up to 50 to 60 pounds in like 6 months and yes i know it didnt happen in one day but never the less how can i lose that much that soon?

With this method you can lose 1 pound a day, guaranteed! I've done it before... \n\nYou can eat as much as you want but limited only to:\n1. breakfast - 1 slice toast, 1 glass grapefruit juice, 1 slice fruit (anything except banana). Papaya is good. \n2. lunch (no rice) - burger steak, beef steak, grilled chicken, fish, eggs, cheese and vegetables. \n3. dinner (no rice) - you can choose anything from lunch option but if you had chicken for lunch have something else for dinner. \n4. snacks - diet coke, carrot sticks\n\nDont eat french fries, rice, potato, sweets, ice cream. \nJogging for 30 minutes a day.  Do this for two weeks, then take a two week break, you can eat anything you want but in moderation, then do the same thing for another two weeks until you reach desired weight. You will lose at least 14 lbs in 2 weeks, 1 lb per day. Guaranteed. If you have more questions, email me.. I'll give you my chart. and show you my before and after photographs...


she likes to put on some wait if any one can help please help me.

should be having 5 small balanced meals daily.\n\nCan't have too much bread and starch in any one.\nIf there is continued weight loss ( two to three weeks ) you need to get her to her doctor.


I am a sophmore in PA and i was curious to find other runners 5k times.  Cross Country has got to be the coolest sport ever invented.  My best is 16:59.  I also run long distance track but dont enjoy it as much, i run mainly the two mile and my time is 10:39.

Cross Country and Track are Awesome!\n\nWhen I was a Junior in High School I ran 15:09 for 5k.  I was State Champion my Senior year in Cross Country.  I was a 5 time State Champion in Track (2 State Records 1600/3200).\n\nMy PRs are: 400: 50.7; 800: 153.4; Mile: 4:11; 3000m: 8:44; 5 Mile: 25:27; 10k: 33:08; 10 Mile 53:43; and Marathon: 3:28\n\nOh and I have been a die hard Nike fan for years!!!\n\nAlso, Cross Country is better than Lacrosse, as a matter of fact in college I had several Lacrosse players get mad at me for beating one of there players in a contest!\n\n"Distance Runners Keep It Up Longer"


Is the i pod damaged? can i use it anymore? what do i do nexT?

I just moved down South. The mosquitoes & sand gnats are eating me alive. Anything besides Deet I can use as a repellant? In the last week, I must have 2 dozen bug bites!

There is an AVON product called skin so soft.  It is a bath oil as well as a  repellant and you will smell great at the same time.  Hope this helps.  It really works.


My husband works in Jacksonville, Fl and I attend school in Gainesville, Fl. If I move to Jacksonville I will have to commute to and from school (about hour and a half drive)about three days a week. Should I just stay in Gainesville or should I move to Jacksonville to live with my husband.

I think you should move to be with your husband.  It's only an hour and a half 3 days a week.  There are a lot of people that commute from Gainsville to Jax to work everyday and don't think twice about it.


In ontario, most people dont. I heard that in Japan people dont either. Someone told me that in the states people wear their shows inside all the time.

Yeah, we do all the time in California, i dont, i go socks, all day everyday, shoes are too uncomfortable, but i use them to walk to the door and outside and from outside to my room, i dont take them off at the door like in Japan and other places.


Is that in possible? I meet in Iraq when war started few nice US soldier and they said that there is so many whos´s are not us citizen, and its possible, but some how....!

You must be a permanent legal resident of the United States..as in a Green Card Holder.  You can not enlist in any branch of the military without being a Green Card Holder.  The military cannot and will not assist you in getting to the United States nor can they help with INS/ICE paperwork


BRAZIL. Most definitely. If we lose our entire country will be sad for 4 years! LOL


Nike Air Force 1's...They were grey and black..

those were made especially for her...no one else can get him, but they do have knock offones on ebay


When William first joined the military i read where he said the same thing. They don't want special treatment. They sure are their Mother's sons

He comes from a 'military family.'  For generations members of his family have served in the military.  Having a tradition of service is a strong incentive for the younger generations to 'do their part.'


my coach keeps talking about it, but i don't know what it is.

well if its the same as baseball:\n\nif there is less than two out with runners on base, and a pop fly is hit in the infield, the batter is out, and the runners have to tag up.


As a little girl I always went to church with my grandmother every Sunday. I stopped around the time I got my license & only went on holidays after that. I am now looking for a new church to get myself & my 2 girls into. I am of Baptist faith. My grandmother's church now is too ONLY the preacher is very overbearing. I'm not @ all comfortable there. I live with my children's father & have for 6 years now. We are a family but not married. This preacher has flat out told me I was living a life of sin. Besides that, his wife & daughter both wear dresses or skirts all the time. He has told his congregation that he does not like women in pants or short. (My grandmother has bucked him on that one). He children do not drink caffeine nor do they watch TV. Can you please tell what type of Baptist background this man has?

The pastor you describe is an example of an extreme fundamentalist.  It is important to understand that every Baptist is not this way.  When he told you that you were living a life of sin, you should have told him that he was as well.  We need to remember that the Bible says that we have ALL sinned.\n\n30 years ago, fundamentalists led a takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention and those who disagreed with them were either forced out or chose to leave.  The result was the formation of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.  Look at the website I am putting below.  If there is a CBF church in your area, you will probably feel for comfortable there.  Your pastor may or may not be Southern Baptist, but I have known at least one pastor who had beliefs EXACTLY like those you described.  Feel free to send me a message if you have some other questions.


I have social anxiety, and have tried many different ways of ridding myself of the problem.  I've seen three therapists, been on many different medications, but something inside of me won't let me get even one step closer to being normal.\n\nI'm not shy around friends or people I'm close with, just around people in power and women.  For example, I need to get my medical records transferred from one doctor to another.  I know the original doctor will ask me why I'm transferring records (the reason being, I don't feel like he's done a good job), but instead of talking to someone at his office directly, I left a message on his answering machine at night.  Also, whenever I see a cute girl somewhere, I have this deep desire to approach her, but I just can't.  I feel strange even making eye contact.  I'm especially awkward in situations where I know someone, but I'm not sure if they remember me.  I just don't know what to do, so I try to avoid the situation as much as possible.  What can I do?

It sounds like you may have some self-esteem issues as well as social anxiety.  Maybe you need to request to a therapist that you focus on your self-esteem and assertiveness and by focusing more on that, I'm sure you can overcome your social anxiety without even having to resort to medications.


Hi there,\n\nIs it possiple you left out a P?\nThen the answer is PROGRAMME.\n\nHave fun puzzling! ;)


a pure white woman that marry a persian?\nplese answer

There are some who hate any mixed culture marriage, but in general, in the USA, that is not the problem it was years ago. Mixed marriages in the USA are common and commonly accepted. There are no barriers on where you can live, what jobs you can have, etc. If you love her and she loves you and you want to live in the USA--GO FOR IT!! Of course, there are closed minded bigots everywhere as some of the other answers in this post will undoubtedly show. \nP.S. I am a white male and you would be welcome in my neighborhood


my BEST friend, who i had known since birth, suddenly told me that we were not best friends anymore... and that we never were. that hurt me sooo badly... and for a while i wanted nothing to do with her. Now, we have started to talk again, and i need advice on how to handle the relationship this time around. Should it be causual? Or should I make an effort to become the best of best friends again? I just dont want to end up getting  hurt again... but i miss her so much, and i want her back in my life as a friend again. PLEASE HELP!

people say stupid things at times. you should give her another chance.


Lost ovary had removed in an operation. I still haven't had the "change of life" happen to me yet. I am only 39

yes hormones can effect your weight in either way (losing or gaining pounds)...if it is more than just a minimum amount, talk to a doctor just to be sure.

I need to find which Masonic Lodge Mr William Harvey Niday was a member of. It should be located somewhere near Ripplemead Virginia.

I think it is better than Avon because we carry alot more different items that everybody would want from wellness, nutrition, anti aging,cosmetics, websites etc.. It is a great opportunity.

? I can understand expecting him to stick up for you when they’re rude, but in normal situations why do women get mad when their husband is close to his mom and sister.

Just because they do. A wife should be the main woman in any man's life.  If you are a mature adult male you should not need mommy to tie your shoes, do it your damn self!  A mother always wants to feel needed. I'll tell you what I am learning NOT to do with my boys' wives when they get married. Put your wife's concerns at the top of the list and you will keep yourself out of the DOG HOUSE guaranteed!!!


Do you study because your smart or are you smart because you study?

I agree with both.  I think I'm smart because I study, and because I study, I get smarter!  Lol...great question!  It pretty much leads to one simple point: STUDY!


because these grandparents have better stories?\nor\nbecause in these days it is easier to visit a grandparent?


You could go on for a M.A., M.S., Ph.D., J.D., Ed.D., M.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., and all sorts of other M's and D's.\n\nYou might try IOSCAR; it's free.  It asks you questions and suggests occupations based on your interests, knowledge, skills, and abilities.  It also has a lot of information on opportunities in different occupations.


I have deep acne scarring on my entire back, I was thinking about getting a tattoo to cover up the scars.

A small scar can be easily covered-I had a 1/2 inch round raised scar on my foot and had a star tattooed over it. Even though with close inspection you can still see the raised bit, no one ever notices and I feel much more self confident. \nScarring on your entire back may be hard to cover-have you talked to a dr about dermal fillers or other minor cosmetic surgical processes. The cost may not be much different, considering you will pay a lot for an excellent tattoo artist (especially for such a large tattoo), which you will want in this case.


Does it have to do with the angle of the racquet upon contact with the ball or does it have more to do with shoulder rotation?

if you wanna hit a cross  you should hit the ball a bit sooner in front of your body but for down the line you should hit it a bit later.\nremember you can move the ball from a side of a court to other side just by 19 degrees so becareful about the angel.


I will be working 12 hr. shifts for a few weeks, and will need all the fuel I can get.

fruits are really good energy foods. some good drinks are just plain water or gatorade. Also, protein bars and many other healthy foods. Do Not EVER have sugar as an energy food.  (caffine isn't good either) You will be hyper and energetic at first but will make you tired and fatty later.


Say I have a bunch of short sound clips that I wanted to keep handy on my ipod, but I dont want them to play when i'm shuffling through my songs.

You can also use iTunes and deselect the sound clips on your current playlist. This will allow them to stay there, but they shouldn't play. Check apple's website for more.


I live in Australia. I sent someone a text message that was not threatening to them all all but was a joke. I said that i was a cleaner that provided extras. This was just to see what their reaction would be. Anyway they are now threatening to call the police and report me. The message was not threeatening at all. Can i still get in trouble for sending this or is the person trying to scare me.

you can't get in trouble for sending that, so don't stress. The cops will probably laugh at that, trust me!!


I have to do this project for school and  i've been looking for the picture of the internal anatomy but its no where to be found. SOOOO please help me I'm desprete. PLease send pics to my email as soon as possible THANX

adaptation in anglerfish is their sexual dimorphism. The males are very small in comparison with the females, and live as permanent parasites on the female. The male attaches himself, by biting, to the body of the female. His mouth fuses with her skin, and the bloodstreams of the two fishes become connected. The male is now totally dependent on the female for nourishment. In fact, the male begins to degenerate. His eyes grow smaller and he eventually loses them. His internal organs disappear.The male becomes simply a source of sperm.\n\npl look at the sites they may be of help.


can you be in the military if you have asthsma ........not bad asthsma either

I think so\nbut you need to talk to your recruiter in your area.\nplus most likely you can if you pick an area of work\nthat requires you to in an office or something like that...and no front line stuff\nso go look into it..I bet you can\nGood Luck


IF A PERSON IS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND COMMITS A FELONY IN THE UNITED STATES AND IS NOT A CITIZEN, THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY ELIGIBLE FOR DEPORTATION.  HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF RELATIONS WITH CUBA AND US, CAN A PERSON FROM CUBA WHO COMMITS A FELONY IN THE US AND IS SENTENCED TO DEPORTATION, ACTUALLY BE DEPORTED BACK TO CUBA.  I AM MARRIED TO SUCH A PERSON WITH TWO CHILDREN.  I HAVE HEARD RECENTLY THAT CUBA IS TAKING DEPORTEES BACK. IS THIS TRUE?

They have in the past.  I believe it was in the 1980's when Castro put some of the worst criminals and the mentally ill on boats and sent them to the US on a "leave Cuba without being shot" type of day.  The US was waiting to deport them when the prisoners rioted in Atlanta and someplace in Mississippi I think.  Bottom line is, he can and probably will get deported, or else, spend a good chunk of time in Federal Prison.


i have to this for english a rough draft is due monday....i have no clue what to write about.

There isn't one. You will always find somebody with the opposite viewpoint.\n\nSo turn the question around and talk about the opposite in people's beliefs.\n\nGood luck for monday!!


and they also pull their windows all the way down.\nisn't musics better when windows are closed?\ni am in UC R*******e :)

What an interesting question.  I find myself doing this all the time.  But I dont know if it's limited to college students.  i never did it when I was in high school, but I couldn't drive then.  I don't know why I do it, I just really love music and when driving, well you not really doing anything but listening to music, it's not like it's playing in the background and you doing schoolwork, or talking to friends.  \n\nSo if you are paying attention to just the  music, it's good to have it loud, because it's your only activity and you are focusing on it. \n\nAs for having the windows open?  I dont know why, but I find myself doing it as well.  I guess when the weather is nice, you want to open the windows to enjoy it.  Then again, this may be the reason why the music needs to be loud, because of the sound of the wind coming in the window.


If you get this right and give me more details, I will put you as my best answer and give you the 10 points!

False!  He was not the first president of the United States.  There was someone else, although I'm not sure of his name.  The inaguration I beleive was either in Philadelphia or New York.


it's been a yr since we officially broke up and i had notice her cell number popped up in my phone last july i still love her what do you guys think?

GIVE HER A CHANCE SHE STILL CARES 4R U..OLD LOVE NEVER DIES


so that it fills the window rather than tiling, regardless of the viewer's resolution.

You can do it with JavaScript:\n\n<HEAD>\n<SCRIPT>\n  var backgroundset=false;\n\n  function fixedBackground(url)\n  {\n    if(!backgroundset)\n    {\n      document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';\n      document.body.style.padding = '0px';\n      document.body.style.margin = '0px';\n\n      var overlay = document.createElement('DIV');\n      overlay.style.position = 'absolute';\n      overlay.style.top = '0px';\n      overlay.style.left = '0px';\n      overlay.style.height = '100%';\n      overlay.style.width = '100%';\n      overlay.style.overflow = 'auto';\n\n      overlay.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML;\n      document.body.innerHTML = '<img id="background" height="100%" width="100%" src="' + url + '" style="left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; top: 0; z-index: 0" />';\n\n      document.body.appendChild(overlay);\n\n      backgroundset=true;\n    }\n    else\n      background.src=url;\n  }\n</SCRIPT>\n\nThen in the BODY add:\n\nonLoad="fixedBackground('background.jpg');">


Family has 3 boys ranging from 14 to 20 yrs old.


please tell me the process involved not just putting different things together

Well, detailing the entire process here would probably be too in-depth.  May I suggest that you visit a local hobby store and ask a salesperson about a remote control car/boat kit?  This is probably the best way to learn and understand the principles first hand.   If you want, there are even kits where you can build your own transmitter and receiver.


It not like anyone is forceing you to stay here

Hey i completely agree with you man.  i'm sick and tired of listening to liberals complain about what is wrong and make excuses for everything they screw up.\n\nI say we deport them with the rest of the illegal aliens.  Liberals seem to cause more problems then the illegals


Example : When I want to watch a news clip about a current event, I click on "watch video" and everything comes up ok, but when it starts playing, I get audio ok but the video in the little screen is nothing but lines. How can I fix this?

your computer's video card or the driver for the video card can't support the resolution required for the video to be viewed.


Is there any real and documented tests? i.e. TV show.

If is really no wind, it should fall right back into your gun.\n\nBut an experimental proof I think can hardly be done because of friction effects between air and bullet: so you would need an evacuated tube of some 100 m height, higher than any building. And the accuracy of this tube also woud be hard to be realized.\n\nNevertheless, such an accuracy problem I think was encountered when was built the SLAC (STANFORD Linear Accelerator) in the 1950ies; but this installation was not upright.


I realize it's not the funnest question -- but if a universal living wage was but into affect in america it would make sure that everyone had enough money to live well and eat well.  Whats your opinion??

I disagree.  This is basically a communist idea.  The Universal Living Wage would cause america to lose a ton of jobs to lower wage countries.  We are already having problems competeing with counrtries that pay their workers 500 dollars a year.  This would drastically raise unemployment which is bad especially for poor people.  We would be looking at unemployment rates like those found in France and Germany of around 12 percent.  It would also stunt long term growth.  Everyone in America can eat well enough.  I have know obese people who were on welfare.  People in America are well off, poverty is more of a relative thing.  Poor people in America still have a lot more than people in the Sudan.  It is only when compared to insanely rich people in Manhattan that they seem so poor.  That is not to say that poverty is not a problem in America it is, but a Universal Living Wage would amplify this problem not fix it.


Ok i tried twice to tell him.\n1. I was going to tell him personally but the classroom was closed so i couldn't go in and wait for him to drop off his books.\n2. then i decided to tell him by a note but he came in to class late and my friend couldn't give it to him. \n\nso what do i do now do i tell him personlly tomorrow or by \nnote and have him email me or give me a note monday or don't tell him at all or tell him on monday\nmaybe these were signs that i shouldn't tell him or is a third time the charm

Tell him in person.  It will mean more that way.  And try until you get a chance to say what you need to say.  Good luck sweetie.


it's about my ex-boyfriend I found out he was cheating on me but I really love him and want to be with him we been to gather about 7 years but I'm not about to deal with him cheating on me he need to get his life togather.

Good decision. But if it was the first time that he's cheated on you, maybe give him another chance. If not, then you don't need someone like that.


whats is the deff of love?? or what it means to you??

Love has a misterious feeling. Actually Love cannot b described, its something we felt in our heart, its a kind of feeling where you are concerned about the other person, You feel happy seeing his/her happy and you make effort for it too. Its a kinda feeling where a person can devote all his her life for someone that someone is not just a girlfriend boy friend its about anyone u can call it ur parents, siblings relatives in short whosoever you feel comfortable and good and the feelings you recipocate calls LOVE


Sorry, Mandy, 'cause I know that you are a harry potter freak.

the books are far better than the movies.


Do most men prefer a woman who's body is flawless?????

of course not...there is no such woman...\n\nLOL...girl no!\n\nunless of course you are looking to date a teenager...then all bets are off...


This website that has mind jokes on it has a esp joke.It askes you to think of any number and concentrate on it.Then as you click the next steps it has you add numbers to it and subtract.The end result is it shows your original number or it says what the last number you came up with in your math.Now in the beginning it says you may use a pen and paper.What is it that makes this work?Im blown away, creative to say the least.

Properties of mathematics makes it work. I'm not sure exactly what it has you do but essentially it does this.\n\nIf your number is X. You add 5 to it then subtract 5 from it and you get your original number. Of course the nice ones hide the fact that your doing exactly this. \n\nDavid Copperfield did a TV bit once where he had a 3X3 square. You start out at any square you want and move according to his directions. After each move he took away a square. In the end you always end up on one square. That was cool. Anyone heard of it?


There are many different types of surgery and different names for the operations. However the two main procedures are:\npartial removal of the large bowel with rejoining of the two ends of bowel so that bowel function is normal\n\npartial removal of the large bowel without rejoining of the two ends of bowel. This leaves a stoma (opening) on the abdominal wall that is fitted with a bag to collect waste and the lower end of the bowel is just sewn over leaving a stump at the rectum. This sort of operation is sometimes done initially and then the two ends are rejoined at a later date.\n\nHope this helps!


I can find the scanners, but none will remove the viruses or anything that is critical to my computer for free.


just like viruses, spyware is a big threat to a growing internet population...if u could recommend a free one id surely appreciate it:)

i'll recommend AVG. but you can look for others that offer daily updates. but surely, no remover is good enough... just offering the best available...


I'm visiting Malta next month, can anyone name some good sites to visit and why?

I did a school project on Valletta when I was in College and fell in love with it.  I want to go there some day and experience all that I read about.\n\nCasa Rocca Piccola, Valletta\nThis small palazzo, built in 1580, is a window to Maltese domestic culture of yesteryear. You will find an excellent costume collection on display, important period furniture and pictures. All the rooms are featured on the guided tour including the recently opened war shelters.\n\nGrand Master’s Palace, Valletta\nThe Magesterial Palace, built between 1571 and 1574, is today the president’s office and seat to Malta’s parliament. The palace is a treasure trove of art. The Tapestry Chamber hangs a unique collection of Gobelin tapestries. Frescoes depicting the Great Seige of 1565 adorn the Hall of St. Micheal and St. George – formerly the Order’s Supreme Council Hall. And, the beautiful ceiling decorations are by Nicolo Nasini. You will also find works by Ribera, Vanloo and Batoni in the State Apartments.\n\nNational Library, Valletta\nThis grand 18th century, Venetian style building was the last public building commissioned by the Knights. It houses some 400,000 works, many rare or priceless. All archival material covering the history of the Knights from 1113 to 1798 is lodged in the library.\n\nSacra Infermeria, Valletta\nThe hospital of the Order of St. John was built in 1574, one of the earlier buildings in Valletta. It was famous for its high standards, as well as its grand interior. The Great Ward, 153 metres long has one of the longest roof expanses in Europe. During World War II it was seriously damaged through bombing and after extensive renovation it re-opened as the Mediterranean Conference Centre.\n\nSeige Bell Memorial, Valletta\nThe Seige Bell Memorial was inaugurated in 1992 by Queen Elizabeth. It is monument for those that died during World War II.\n\nUpper Barrakka Gardens, Valletta\nThese 18th century gardens offer excellent views overlooking the Grand Harbour across to the Three Cities. The gardens are dotted with statues and have been totally refurbished. Below these gardens lie the lower Barrakka and every Saturday at noon, the 'noon gun' is fired.\n\nHastings Gardens,Valletta\nA small garden set on the bastions with splendid views of Manoel Island and Msida Creek. The gardens also houses a monument built by the Hasting’s family to the governor of Malta who died in 1826.


ive seen peoples avatar with eyes that are more slanted than mine. i want to know how to do it? because i have Epicanthal eyes.

I know how you can get your future kids eyes to be more slanted.... marry someone from JApan or China... he he.\n\nFor you, plastic surgery


Im older than he is by 5 yrs. we have children so im staying. He's been caught in several lies and says that he just uses these women to get free work done. I dont believe in divorce and neither does he. Yet I want him to Know how I feel on every level without having to uproot the children.

the beauty of karma is that it works all by itself. you can just sit back and watch. he will get his karma.


Sometimes while i'm browsing the net, my cursor gets stuck and wont move! The only way for me to get control back of it is to put my pc in standbye mode! Why is this happening??

Your mouse is dirty, and needs a bath. NO No don' bath it, it just needs cleaning.Unplug it from your computer and turn it over. You will see a round plate with a hole in it, you will also see a ball inside the hole under the plate. Turn the plate to the left, and remove it, now remove the ball by turning the mouse right side up. Turn the mouse back over, take a cotton swab and clean out all the trash. You can also close your eyes and blow into the mouse to help clean out dirt. You will see a metal shaft, make sure it is clean. All done, good now drop the ball back in, making sure it is clean first. Now put the plate back on and turn it to the right untill it locks in place. Plug the mouse back in, and away you go, good as new. If any thing comes out of the mouse other than dirt or the ball, the poor fella has died and you will have to get a new one. I have to clean my mouse like this 2 or 3 times a year.


Im a christian and have been baptized in the christian church, yet latley ive been learning more about the catholic church and want to become part of the church. If anyone has advice on anything i should do to get a relationship with the Catholic church please help. if it matters im still 15 almost 16

Getting saved is part of one of the Christian doctrines that says you reach heaven through belief in Jesus Christ as your individual lord and savior. There is a somewhat simple and specific prayer you can say and that is how you do that. Then from there you typically making public that confession and you are considered saved. \n\nNot all Christians believe in this part and parcel, but youll find those who are firm believers in this process will tell you are not a Christian if you dont do this process, whether or not you believe Jesus is the Christ. Chances are if you have been brought up in Christianity you believe the belief you might not have made the prayer some would require.\n\nIf you want to learn more about the Catholic Church, at your age it helps to find a church with either good youth music or good youth programs. If you have some friends who are Catholic ask them about their churches and find out what they have to say.

Hi, I got invited to attend a meeting of the Landmark Education Forum. I have heard from someone that I shouldn't go to it. But the person coundn't really explain why I shouldn't go. Can anybody tell me what this Forum is all about?

i have a friend who went through it and (still) thinks it was great.\n\nhere's what it is: Landmark is, as far as i know, an offshoot of EST, which was big in the 70s when everyone wanted to attend an intense self-improvement seminar. i think they're basically a faster moving and (perhaps) less expensive personal development cult than Scientology. (and when i say "cult" understand that i'm not necessarily saying they're bad, just with all the trappings of "give us money and we'll give you the secrets of a fantastic life" kind of thing.)\n\nhere's a link to more information, but i caution you to realize that much of it was probably written by the Landmark folks themselves:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmark_Education\n\nwhen my friend went, he came back all transformed and spouting all kinds of jargon. he went on to invite everyone in his circle to come to the next meeting. they all are supposed to do this. i was immediately struck by his "glow" which in my cynical estimation, smacked of "i just had a transformative experience, and i want you to join with me" complete with starry eyed but kind of creepy affect.\n\ni didn't attend the "bring your friends" seminar, because i've been through self-improvement stuff before and although i can see its value, i wasn't in the mood for spending a day getting all enthusiastic and then being asked for a ton of dough. (which is the way it works--like going to a time share event.) but those of us who did reported back that it was as i expected. intensive, and most useful for the sort who need a kick in the pants. however, just like in Scientology, there is a lot of money to be made, and you're the one who's going to pay it. \n\nthe forum itself is emotionally draining. i've heard that they don't like it if you get up to go to the bathroom. that it's really about tearing down your personality, really going for your jugular, and then building you back up, in the space of a day. some would critique that this is not something that everyone can handle, and it's not necessarily something everyone needs. it is useful, probably. but it costs lots of money (after the first time), and as far as my friend goes? he claimed at the time that everything in his life would change. he did finally go out and get a job that didn't involve smoking pot all day and sitting on his ass, but he's still the most appalling slob you've ever met, doesn't ever date, and is dangerously overweight. if he was deeply affected by this in the long term, then i sure don't see it. however, maybe if he'd been willing to spend tons of money, he would be a Landmark success.

I presented with timely documents, but  2 of the 4 Filing Clerks argued that I needed to accompany my Fee Waiver(s) to random Courts...\n\nthat the hours for Courts to have fee waivers submitted had expired...that the Courts had gone home for the day\n\nAfter the Statute of Limitations filing date, the other 2 of 4 Clerks accepted my filings and processed the docs and fee waivers correctly...taking the papers to the respective Courts by way of the clerks and not hand-carried by me...\n\nthe Supervisor said to "File a Motion"\n\nI wrote John A. Clarke, the Executive Clerk for Los Angeles County, requesting security tapes and citing the unacceptable answer from the Supervisor\n\nI guess I shouldn't have expected an answer\n\nDoes anyone know about such Motions...the opposing side would doubtless deny a mutual modification of the filing date

The opposing side does not have to agree for you to prevail.  A motion is a written request to the Judge that your case is assigned to, explaining your filing difficulties and stressing that you did present timely documents.  If the Judge finds your argument to be fair, he/she may rule that it is in the interest of justice to permit you to proceed.  Also, you should serve the opposing side with a copy of your motion.


I'm soooo down and my cute lil' prozac is trying like the little engine that could, but it's not shifting this depression. I am so tired, so down, so tired of being tired and down....I sleep so much and then just seem to go through the motions of the day. My doc says if I feel like hurting myself he'll put me in hospital-but isn't this daily abyss hurting me? Should I try something drastic to get better? I have kids! A partner! I use to have a life....I'm running out of options.

The reason you go to a residential facility is so that the trained staff can observe you and see how mood swings and energy levels relate.  It is hard to get the type of constant attention you need at home, so do speak to your professional advisor to see if this would benefit you.  Most people who suffer from depression experience dreadful tiredness and cannot get up in the mornings.  This leads to feelings of guilt which increases your depression.  Although it is not quick, with the right advice and help, you can look forward to a better life.  Yours may just be a minor thing, but even if not, don't be embarrassed or guilty, speak with people you trust and let them help you :)


I am completely scared.  I have heard so many dreadful stories about mid-terms and finals and not to mention the work load.  I need some clarification on what to expect in college.

When you're completely unfamiliar with it, the thought can be overwhelming.  Just a hint, though.  Usually the ones who find finals so terrifying are the ones that spent a majority of their time partying!  That doesn't mean that you have to be chained to a desk and chair.  In fact, you should get plenty of exercise and engage in fun activities.  But, always read your assignments carefully.  If you're having any problems, consult with professors or teaching assistants before you get too far behind.  \n\nIf you have the right study attitude, you'll not only succeed but have a marvelous time!


Last night, during the live Friday Night Open Lines, I had a paranormal experience that I wanted to share with George Noory so I called and called the show and tried to get through.

The military is arresting people who have been AWOL for periods up to 40 years.  Why haven't they put that pig George W. Bush in prison?

omg did you just get on that bandwagon, man it's like deja vu from two years ago, two years!!!!!!!  I mean seriously what does it matter?  he'll be out in less than a year!!!!


Like smerfs, strawberry shortcake, rainbo bright grape ape? Even the boy ones like heman and transformers. Is it just me or do they not make 'em the same any more?

You're not alone!!! I'm not alone!!  I can't believe the crud they're putting on Saturday mornings these days!!!  \n\nThe old cartoons were simple, fun and bright and usually cheerful.  They had messages in them that were good for kids to learn.  They also had a pinch of humour.\n\nI loved Smurfs, HeMan, Shera, Rainbow Bright, and the looney tunes and warner bros ones too.\n\nThe new cartoons are involved, dark, sometimes violent and just plain really annoying!!\n\nI just love that movies like Ice Age, Monsters Inc and the like have come out to fill the hole in my cartoon heart.


In recent years we have observed an increase in foreign investment in the United States. What effect are joint ventures, such as General Motors-Toyota, likely to have on human resource management in the United States?

Human resources will have to be up to date on diversity amongst the workforce. The Human Resources department will have to expand it's knowledge on the many different cultures and values to better accommodate it's employees, whether it's United States citizens going to work abroad or foreigners coming to work here in the US.


TX is a concealed carry state. Being an avid supporter of our 2nd and proud of this fact, I find a disturbing clause in the Tx law. In order for an establishment or business to restrict the right to carry on their premises, which I also support, all they have to do is post a sign in 1" characters stating so. In English and Spanish! Can an anyone of knowledge explain this one to me?

Well I'm from the peoples republic of California and we don't enjoy such right to carry laws here...so I have a hard time relating.  I don't understand why a state like Texas tolerates an illegal resident period....I would think a good ole boy state like Texas would be rounding up anyone without a green card and shipping them south....


Do you think there should be stricter laws against sledging in cricket, or do you think its alright for players to sledge?

No, becuse if there is not stricter laws i think australians are alwaya make fighting on field against every team because they are very bad sledgers which shown against south africans and many in last test series against australia.


Was firing a gun in the air proven to be fatal or a myth?

Please do, it will save the whole world from a lot of grief.  I'm English but lived in the US 91-99, the good old Clinton days!  Last year i visited my family in Phoenix and was genuinely shocked at how conservative the country and media had become.  Everything seemed to pro-Bush and no question seemed to be raised against him.  I tried explaining to my parents friends why the rest of the world sees George Bush as a serious cause for concern and i thought i was going to be shot.  Get back to America being free...you were good at that once.


This would be what was missed about Unified Therory of Energy and Power that Einstein had figuired out but did not realise it?

You think you suddenly solved the Unified Theory with the electrical equals gravitational concept? With what education? If you are asking for confirmation here in this forum, you need a bit more education, and a few dozen good peers to discuss your ideas.

I think Flip Saunders deserved it more. Detroit is a demon with him at the helm.

Flip and Avery should split it because they did basically similar things to both teams. Flip made a defence power house into one of the best scoring teams and Avery took an offensive minded team and made them good at defense. I really think it should go to Larry Brown for putting up with the Knicks

It drives me crazy to pay to see a movie and have to watch 15 minutes of television commercials that I can watch at home.

Going to "The Movies" stinks for many reasons.  The tv commercials they have snuck in there these past few years are just the icing on the cake.  I don't know about where you're at, but around these parts it costs almost $10.00 a ticket.  Then, just to get some popcorn and a soda it's another raping of the wallet.  And then there is always some knuckle head who can't keep his pie hole shut during the movie....the same guy who's kneeing the back of your seat the whole time.  You leave there broke, bloated and deaf.


I work at a court house and there is a jury trial going on right now for attempted murder case. I was out on my lunch smoking a cigarette and a woman started talking to me. I found out that her husband was the on on trial she told me she is scared that he will be found guilty and that she doesn't want him to go to jail and this is after he stabbed her a couple times last year why are some woman this way. she said she is worried how her kids will feel knowing their dad is in jail for life. I look at it i would rather my kids visit there father in jail for a life sentence then visit my grave for the rest of their lives. I told her i would be scared he would do it again and she told me she's not.

because she is insecure and he has probably belittled her and told her that she can't possibly survive without him.\n\nHopefully he does go to jail for a long time and she gets the chance to live for herself, not for him


am very low income and i work several jobs and mostly their fast food rest. i have off once a week and thats when i can cook but i just cook something fast. can some one help me

(long but hopefully helpful!!)\nYes exactly what I was thinking: salads.  But don't just get the basic lettuce and tomato/carrot kind, to make them really healthy and make sure you get your protein and other nutrients like beta-carotenes and amino acids...add beans like garbanzo, adzuki, pinto, lima etc....whatever you like.  Add beets, carrots, tomatoes, jicama, potatoes, corn, peas, tofu, nuts of all kinds like cashews, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts.  Then make sure you get a good salad dressing that is not full of hydrogenated fats and MSG.  IN fact, avoid all that stuff if you can.  If you want to be healthy, then read ingredient lables and avoid things like hydrogenate/trans fats, MSG, food colorings, preservatives and sugar if possible.  Those will certainly decrease your health overtime.  \nHere's something else very viable for someone who only has once a week cooking time and is low income.  I feel for you girl!  I was the same while living in LA and it just about killed my spirit.  Hang in there!\n\nGoto a $dollar store or somewhere they have very cheap tupperware or those kind of disposable containers that you can use over and over until they're dead.  But a bunch.  Like 6 or 8+.  THen goto Costco or another large chain store where you can buy bulk for less $.  \nBuy salad makings, canned beans/corn/peas etc...salad dressing and look for ground turkey too. \n\nYou can then make up salads for a few days and put them in the tupperware.  Make sure you drain all  the beans and stuff of water so that they don't wilt the salad lettuce.  Don't add dressing either, it will wilt it.  Add that later.  Buy a tupperware thingy for dressing too..a small one. \n\nThen make a large turkey meatloaf or chicken soup and split it into containers for the weeks.  I know it's boring but do a different meal each week.  It's what you sometimes have to do when  you're poor.  It sucks but it's better than eating crap at a fast food place.  You know!  \n\nTry making large meals and spliting into many containers, freezing them  until ready for use.  Meatloaf, stuffed cabbage with meat and rice in tomato sauce, tuna casseroles and soup and stuff like that freezes well. Let all the food cool first.  You can also make cheap stir frys with veggies and rice and soy sauce which is cheap and goes a long way.  Just watch your salt intake.  Make sure you drink a lot of plain purified water if you can.  \n\nRecipe for meatloaf:\n\nleast one pound or more of ground turkey/beef(turkey's better and better for you). \ncan of tomato paste\ncan of tomato sauce(not flavored yet)\none large carrot cut in small bits\none large zuccini cut in small bits\none large egg\ndash of spices if you have it, at least salt though\n\nmix together well and then bake for like 30 minutes at around 350-400˚.  sooooo friggin good.  \n\nchicken soup:\n\nwhole already cooked chicken like at safeway or something like that.  cheap and good.  \nagain, two carrots cut into small bits\nzuccini into small bits\ncelery into small bits\npotatoes into small bits \netc...of whatever you like\n\nchop up chicken pieces and save a couple of bones to put in pot while cooking.  it adds flavor and minerals from the bone. \ncut up veggies add them to 5+ cups of water.  eyeball it and see if you need more.  don't add salt.  the meat is salty enough.  do that later to taste. \nsimmer that for a couple of hours.  1-2.  \nadd cilantro if you can afford to.\n\nStuffed cabbage and meat:\n\nagain take the meat either turkey or beef you bought \nboil rice-2 cups\nget a cabbage and boil it for around 1 hour until the outter leaves are soft.  be careful, extremely hot!!\ntomato sauce and spices/salt\n\nmix rice and meat and sauce into large bowl with spices\nagain, hot be careful! \n\npeel off outter leaves while being careful not to break or split.  keep them intact. \ntake some of the meat mixture and stuff into leaves and roll them up around mixture. make a bunch


I had this secret crush, and I do not know how to impress her. Please tell me how!

The best way is dun ever think want to impress only one person, coz it never work and the guy will notice what u try to do (in negetive way). Thus, the more appropriate ways is to become someone who automatically impress other, like the new term MORAL LEADERSHIP. By apply this leadership anyone also can trun themselves to become more outstanding.


To me, he is being treated disrespectfully and unfairly. He works 12 hours shift at nights, and when he gets off in the morning or on his off days, that is when his watch commander or anyone in the command seem to always want to call him in or just call him for one thing or the next. Tonight, on his day off, the watch commander just brought him a chit that has been a month overdue to sign. He is now upset with me, because I wouldn't shut up about it. I know I should, because he is already stressed for this and other reasons, but I just feel he should be more assertive, explain that the calls, etc can be a bit excessive or inappropriate. I understand about rank, he is an E4. Help me so I can be a help to him, by being moe positive when he is at home. Thanks

Well in my opinion he already knows that his commander is a d*ck, but nothing worth doing is easy. I would want my wife to support me, not let me know how crappy my position is. I know that already. Give him something to look forward to and cherish the time you do get with him. Many other women have bigger problems than "my husband works to much." You have your whole life ahead of you two to spend time together, let him get ahead in life now so that you can grow old, happy and rich together.  Support him he sounds like a good one.

In response to the question you posed, we'd cite the following: \n\n“It is to be noted that in the Qur’an the Prophet’s life, the history of the Arabs and the events which occurred during the period of the revelation of the Qur’an have not been mingled with the Divine Verses, as is the case with the Bible. The Qur’an is the pure word of Allah. Not one word therein is not divine. Not a single word has been deleted from its text. The Book has been handed down to our age in its complete and original form since the time of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. From the time the Book began to be revealed, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had dictated its text to the scribes. Whenever some Divine Message was revealed, the Prophet would call a scribe and dictate its words to him. The written text was then read out to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who, having satisfied himself that the scribe had committed no error of recording, would put the manuscript in safe custody. \n\nThe Prophet used to instruct the scribe about the sequence in which a revealed message was to be placed in a particular Surah (chapter). In this manner, the Prophet continued to arrange the text of the Qur’an in systematic order till the end of the chain of revelations. Again, it was ordained from the beginning of Islam that a recitation of the Holy Qur’an must be an integral part of worship. Hence the illustrious Companions would commit the Divine verses to memory as soon as they were revealed. Many Ahadith explain how frequently they used to consult the Prophet regarding their recitation of the Qur’an and beautiful stories were told about women who asked their husbands-to-be to teach them a part of the Qur’an as their dowries. \n\nMethod of preservations of the Qur’an during the Prophet's time \n\nBesides, those of the Companions who were literate used to keep a written record of several portions of the Holy Qur'an. In this manner, the text of the Holy Qur'an had been preserved in four different ways during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: \n\na) The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had the whole text of the Divine Messages from the beginning to the end committed to writing by the scribes of revelations. The Prophet used to keep scribes in his service. The four Rightly Guided Caliphs, as well as Zayd ibn Thabit, Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, Mu‘awiya ibn Abi Sufyan are among those who were known as scribes. \n\nb) Many of the Companions learned the whole text of the Qur’an, every syllable of it, by heart. \n\nc) All the illustrious Companions, without any exception, had memorized at least some portions of the Holy Qur'an, for the simple reason that it was obligatory for them to recite it during worship. \n\nd) A considerable number of the literate Companions kept a private record of the text of the Qur'an and satisfied themselves as to the purity of their record by reading it out to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. \n\nMethod of preservations of the Qur’an after the demise of the Prophet \n\nIt is an incontrovertible historical truth that the text of the Holy Qur’an extant today is, syllable for syllable, exactly the same as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had offered to the world as the Word of Allah. After the demise of the Prophet, the first Caliph Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, assembled all the Huffaz (those who kept the Qur’an by heart) and the written records of the Qur’an and with their help had the whole text written in Book form. In the time of the third Caliph ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, copies of this original version were made and officially dispatched to the Capitals of the Islamic World. Two of these copies exist in the world today, one in Istanbul and the other in Tashkent. Whosoever is so inclined may compare any printed text of the Holy Qur’an with those two copies, he sh

i had numerical approximation to a function say (x), and I want to integrate that function

If you have a numerical approximation, your integration can not be more accurate than approximate, right?  And that may be close enough.  Integration is often the process of finding the area (integrating) under a curve, although the "curve" may be linear.  If you can draw your curve on a graph where for every value of x there is a single value of y, you can divide the graph into vertical slices where the bottom of each slice is the x axis and the top of each slice is a short horizontal line at the "eyeball" average height of the y axis in the slice.  If you divide the x axis into say five slices you then calculate the area in the five slices (A1 = x1 x y1, A2 = etc.).  You can increase the accuracy by using say 10 or 20 slices.  Of course calculus uses an infinite number of slices rather than approximation.\n\nAs a simple example, you can plot a "curve" of velocity vs time, where the velocity is Y and time is X.   In case one, velocity is constant (60 mph) and time increases to say 5 hours.  Y is a straight horizontal line at Y = 60 MPH from X = 0 to X = 5 Hr.  The "area" under the curve is a rectangle; 60 MPH x 5 Hr = 300 Miles.  So the integration represents distance traveled.\n\nIf in case two velocity increased linearly from Y = 0 to Y = 60 as time increased from X = 0 to X = 5, the area under the curve would be a triangle and can be calculated as 1/2 base time height or 1/2 (5 - 0) x (60 - 0) = 150 (miles).\n\nWhen the function is a real curve, you still need to estimate the area under the curve (with slices?) to integrate it.  You could have used slices in the above two examples to get an approximate answer but calculating area of a rectangle or triangle was easier and more accurate.  Good luck.

For example from DV lottery America has excluded third world countries and included Europe for many many years. Is this called diversity?


I think that's a question that we all need to consider.  Many people are aware of our pollution problems and horrible conservation policies, but are unwilling to do anything about it, even spread awareness.  But, to answer the question, I'd give up my gas-guzzling car in a heartbeat.

I'm really curious. \n\n    Because of your incoherence, I can't tell.

The Irish were always discriminated in America, next to the Chinese the Irish were scorned for doing what most mexicans are doing today (taking low paying jobs, and doing it so widedspread that it lowers the average pay for non-mexican workers who do the same job).....The Irish weren't bad, in fact we owe so much to them for their job in the Civil War, however they were treated poorly....\n\nFor chrissakes you have St. Pattie's day, the only reason we don't like you is...YOUR CATHOLIC, EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY HATED CATHOLICS


Love at first sight is a great idea, but impossible, love is based on much more than physical attraction alone.\n\nAnd I know my friends, but I don't think you ever really know a person...we are constantly growing and changing, thats what keeps us interesting.
