In a previous question, I asked what 0/0 is.\nThis question, apparently asked several time before, brought out many opinions or moderately and highly educated people, and I thank everyone for answering!!!\n\nBut now, let's wipe all that aside.  This is a brand new question.\n\nI want to explore the nature of the number 0.\n\nI would like to know what benefits and consequences would occur if we treated 0 as a non-reducible number equal to 1 divided by infinity and gave is a clever symbol, like z, much the same way we treat i equal to the square root of negative 1.\n\nI beleive doing this could solve quite a few conundrums, including 0/0.\n\nI beleive the key is redefining how we think of the number 0 and admitting that there is no such thing 0.\n\nComments?

0 in modern algebra is the additive identity. Given a function + that assigns a number to a pair of numbers, 0 is the unique number such that +(0, a) = +(a, 0) = a for every number in the set. Without 0, most of the richness of modern mathematics and proofs would be buried in cases or would be quite impossible (There are many rings, groups, fields, vector spaces, monoids, and a menagerie of other algebraic structures around us). All these structures have some sort of identity element that provides an amazing amount of additional implied structure just by existing (An example you may be familiar with is calculus; it reduces nonlinear forms to linear vector fields at each point. The existence of the 0 linear map, studied in linear algebra, lends a plethora of structure to calculus, allowing us to find extrema, curvature, invariants, etc.). As linear algebra is also used extensively in the study of differential geometry/equations, modern physics is built around the properties of 0. It is the keystone in so many proofs that without it, they would either be irreducibly ugly or would not be true at all.\n\nAs to your definition of 1/infty being 0, many number systems that include infty also have 1/infty = 0. Such systems include the affinely extended real numbers and the compactification of the complex plane. These structures are very useful in complex analysis/topology. Neither of them are fields. See the sources for details.


I was not hired after passing a drug screen due to a criminal background test. When I picked up the pappers for the pre-employment drug screen I  was told I could go to work when it came back negative. So I gave my preasent employer a notice of resignation. A few days later I called the company and the H.R. department said they could not hire me because of criminal background. Is this unlawful?

It's not unlawful and STOP using drugs!!! You will only make it worse.


win a lottery,buy a ticket and go to germany


The movie shows an LDS missionary to Tonga in the 1950s. He is greeted by a man who puts his face close to his and breathes deeply. This also happens when they part. What is the meaning of this?

Maybe because it takes two (breaths) to Tongan.

Oh Yee I had it with a can of smoke Oysters the other day..


If this is possible, is there a certain thought pattern one should have in regards to what they wish to dream that night or is it virtually impossible to control?

There is no way of controlling dreams.  Dreams only occur in deep REM when you are very relxed, and they could originate from what you ate, are worried about, etc.

Ladies, pretend you had the power to turn a person into a pair of pantyhose. You had an ex who was mean, cheated on you, mistreated you, and he continues to treat all his girlfriends this way. You change him into a pair. He fits perfect, makes your legs look awesome, and never runs or wears out. He is suffering, but he deserves it. This is his new life. What do you say to him as you put him on? \n\nPlease speak from the heart:)

i would never turn him into a pair of pantyhose because he would be too close to my crotch again. I'd turn him into a pair of shoes and walk around on his face for the rest on my life.


First of all, i do a few excersizes daily. About 100 crunches and these leg things which are like squats. I;m somewhat careful, but i used to be dieting. I go to school (im in highschool) and i need to eat, or else my stomach growls in class and its very embarassing. I can usually never diet during school becuase i get hungry and eat whatever i can (but i do my best-im careful). What can i eat in my 10 minute break? and what can i eat for lunch? i want something low in calories and filling. Also, I was wondering if you can look fat but it all be muscle. I dont want to look the way i do. I look fat, and i want to look skinny. But will the muscle keep me looking the same? what can i do to prevent that?

Take things like a flavored rice cake and apple for a morning snack, Maybe a slimfast shake.  A preportioned unsalted bag of  almonds or peanuts could be a good snack as well.  Just make sure you bring them from home, otherwise you will get hunger and continue to eat the best of a terrible list of foods offered at school.  \n\nAs for your other question, muscle is always going to have more mass than skin and bones will, but will not give you the appearance of being fat.  Skinny is not healthy and is unrealistic for most girls.  Focus on health and you will look your best.


I watched the movie Disclosure a few years and thought I could sleep my way to the top, but every time offer to sleep with my female boss I get fired. What's the deal?

What is she crazy? It's a win/win situation. These situations never backfire and always work out!(Can you feel my sarcasm?)Or maybe your female bosses are afraid that once they have a taste of you they will always be craving you and it might interfere with work. I,m the same way with your questions, I can't stop answering them! \n\nIs there brown on my nose? Don't pick me for best answer again or people will think I,m your "answers pet". Ahh who cares, pick me! Pick me!


I know what the path is in the UK, but am totally confused about the US system...

To practice as a psychologist in the United States you must first (if you haven't already) receive a doctoral degree from a program approved by the A.P.A. - they do approve some foriegn programs too, but they must be evalutated. Graduation is followed by a mandatory one-year intership which can be done in a variety of areas - hospitals, private clinics, etc. After that you must be liscened in whatever state you are going to practice in. Most states require little more than above, but you can find out specifics by visiting that state's licensing board website.

What other  toll free numbers can I use for access to the internet?

To find what area codes are in your area, go to whitepages.com and find out.  530 looks like the area code for Eastern Northern California (Chico, Reading, Truckee.)  You might want to delve a little deeper (or call your ISP.)\n\nCurrently, US toll free numbers start with the area codes: 800, 866, 877, 888.  However, area codes, 822, 833, 844, 855, are reserved for future use as toll free area codes.


here is some help! hope it answers your question!\n\nThere is no simple answer to your question. The most common measure of\nthe money in an economy is gross product, in this case gross world\nproduct. Gross world product means the sum of the value of all the\ngoods and services produced in the world, including investments. The\nCIA (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/xx.html) says\nthat gross world product in 2000 was an estimated $43.6 trillion in\nU.S. dollars. For an explanation of gross domestic product, the\ncountry-level equivelant of gross world product, see\n(http://www.pbs.org/wnet/moneyshow/mba/040601.html).\n\nMost of that $43.6 trillion is not cash. Economists can estimate the\namount of cash -- currency, checking accounts and traveler's checks\nwith a statistic called the M1 money supply. Adding money in money\nmarket funds, savings accounts and small CDs gives us the M2 money\nsupply. See http://www.howstuffworks.com/question237.htm.\n\nI was unable to find a world figure for money supply; most economists\nare interested in how much its changing rather than the total number\nof trillions of dollars. The U.S. M1 money supply was $1.182 trillion\nin May 2002 (see http://www.stls.frb.org/fred/data/monetary/m1sl) and\nthe M2 money supply $5.543 trillion\n(http://www.stls.frb.org/fred/data/monetary/m2sl).\n\nI hope this satisfies your curiosity.\n\nSearch strategy:\n\nGross world product\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?q=gross+world+product&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8&hl=en&meta=\n\nCalculating gross world product\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?q=calculating+gross+domestic+product&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8\n\nworld money supply trillion\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8&q=world+money+supply+trillion&sa=N&tab=gw\n\nworld gdp money supply\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8&q=world+gdp+money+supply&meta=\n\nM1 Canada United States France\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8&q=m1+canada+united+states+france&meta=\n\nMoney supply Canada United States France\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?q=money+supply+canada+united+states+france&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8&start=10&sa=N\n\nworld money supply\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?q=world+money+supply&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8\n\nM1 money supply\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?q=M1+money+supply&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8


Who thought of this idea? What happens after 18 hours? Why not make a 24 hour bra? I'm sure women would like a bra that would be as comfortable as a man's t-shirt.

it assumes that that is the total number of hours the woman is up, and in a bra.  the other six of the day, are for sleeping. \n\n:-)


LIKE WHEN I TURN IT ON, EVERYTHING LAUNCHES, IS EVERYONES LIKE THIS?

No.\nGo to start->run, type msconfig and take the startup tab.\nUncheck everything except your antivirus.\n\n\nThis should do it. \n\nThe next time you restart, check the startup tab again. If some to the items you've unchecked are back as checked, you have spyware on your comp.\n\nUse ad-aware to clean these. Then try again.\nIf it still shows problems, you might have a virus that's slowing down your comp. Update your antivirus, boot into safe mode and run a scan.\n\n\n\nYou usually have only one antivirus on your comp, and it's usually running on your taskbar at all times. Just check out all the icons there to see which one it is. \nOr else you can go to add-remove progs and check the installed apps from there.


i caught a 12 pound bass and my friend said that was small for a large mouth bass. i didnt think he was right, so i had it gutted and i mounted it in the garage.  is he a liar

A 3-4 pounder is something to be happy about, 12 pounds is a HOG! Your friend was expounding on a topic he knew little about.


for buying pseudophedrin cold pills,the lawyer i talked to said he needs a residence in cleveland and he could get a bond reduction but until then his bond is set at 80,000.00 .hes from missouri and is a flight risk.whos address can i use or can i use any address i want?\nthey are trying to get him on creation charges. if anyone specializes on these laws plz let me know.his lawyer said he dosnt want to go to jury trial but i dont think they can charge him on creation charges.is jury trial a bad thing??

Your friend's lawyer is the one in the best position to help him now. If the lawyer does not want a jury trial, then he probably has had his experiences with them and has a good idea as to what the consequences of a jury trial may be. A jury trial is not necessarily a bad thing, but a jury cannot be predicted, and there is always a chance of a loss in litigation based on personal opinion versus fact. If your friend's lawyer is unable to reduce bond, then you will probably not be able to do so. When anyone is considered a flight risk, then bond is set at a much higher rate for a reason. If you think that your friend's lawyer is not doing all that he can, then your only alternative at this point is to hire another lawyer for him.\nAs to residence, and this is just an educated guess on my part, they will more likely than not, demand verifiable residence with utility invoices in his name for the address of residence.


They broke the law coming here. I say tell them to get legal or get out before the cia comes to get em.

I agree, they are not legal, we should not provide them with housing, medical expenses. At those rallies they should of check residency and green cards,and if your not a residence then kick them out!


How do you politely say.. I have plans and they didn't include company visiting...without sounding like a jerk?\n\n(Happened to me last evening)...Lost my 2 hour plan to a person that showed up without calling.  Resent this person a wee bit today for stealing my moment...but this seems to happen ever time politeness rears it's ugly head and I accept that I can't think of one nice way to tell them to please go away.\n\nUsing "I'm not feeling well" doesn't work with this person, they reply "I know what you mean, me too" and grab a spot on the couch. And saying "I have loads of work to do" doesn't work either, because it's an open for them to tell you their every chore they completed.\n\nNeed your darling and polite ways to say "Go AWAY for now please"....Thanks

I tell them I was not expecting you! I am really not up to company right now. ____day would be much better. Could you come in the morning or afternoon?(smiling):)\n\nSomething along those lines. I don't like to fabricate stories and I am not afraid to hurt feelings as it is extremely rude to stop by any ones home unannounced.\n\nGuarantee it won't happen again.


A friend has been diagnosed with bulging discs and this is the treatment they are prescribing.

Yes. Fortunately, your friend has been diagnosed before the discs have ruptured. The esi will hopefully help with the inflammation of the tissue and the disc will retreat back into the vertebrae thus relieving any pain. Problem is that its not extremely successful. Some people never have problems again, some have no improvement at all. Those who have some improvement should have another esi within two weeks. Now that the disc has been damaged though, your friend will need to be more cautious in the future to avoid repetative injury.


I love being married.  There is nothing better than being with someone who knows your every emotion.  Knows when you need a hug, or when you need to laugh.  Or just someone to be silly with.  Burdens are halved and joys are doubled.  It couldn't be better to do all of that with someone you love and who loves you.


im composing a spanish piece on my guitar, and i need a name in spanish, if u have any good ideas, please

......I heard that hispanic people form the SALVADOR are given papers and are getting legalized after crossing the river (mexican border), and taken in by the border patrol. is this true? and why? my friend is getting back with me for the details laters but i need some info. on this now, thank you very much.

Maybe because some have political reasons they are fleeing ElSalvador. Maybe the MS-13 are tormenting them and they have to escape. MS-13 is one of the deadliest gangs os Central America.


Looking for advice beyound just exercise and eat right.

I have struggled with my weight all my life and the only way I can keep the weight off is Weight Watchers.  I absolutely love it.  WW is not just a crash diet, it is a lifestyle change that you can live with.  The meetings help the most.  Hearing other people's struggles and then their triumphs is uplifting.  I would definitely give it a try.  You can go and sit in on a meeting and then decide to join.  It is one of the best decisions I have ever made.  Good Luck, hope you give it a try.\nGrad of 06


I have a really low credit score and am in deseprate needs of a personal loan to pay off all outstanding debts.  Once my debts are paid, I can afford to pay back $500 a month on the loan.  I don't care about high interest. I just need help and want the creditors to stop calling.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

my suggestion is to sell personal assets rather than paying off debts with another debt!

who thinks micheal jordan was the best basketball player to live

No, other players have been better. Jordan happened to dominate (with a perfectly formed image) after Bird and Magic helped make the NBA very popular.\n\nI'd say Chamberlain, B. Russell, and Magic were all better than Jordan. There are probably others, but it's very difficult to compare players from different eras.\n\nAlso, Jordan was a big crybaby who got every call, but still managed to call and play the refs all game. But boy was he good at 1) creating his image and 2) making incredible shots, especially at crunch time.


Do you think there was really gay cowboys back then?

Of course, you can find "Gay" people in all walks of life.  Your congressman, your favorite football player, your religious leader...even cowboys.\n\nBeing "Gay" does not define who you are or what you're capable of doing.  Its only one part of what makes a person what they are.


Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Gonzalaz, not one of them ever saw a minute of combat.  And we're to think they know how to even find Bin Laden?

The vast majority of our presidents have never had 'combat' expierence.\n\nWhen I was in Iraq we talked it over and decided that what either canadite did during the Vietnam war was pretty much irrelevant to what kind of President he would make.\n\nAnd most soldiers do not use the term 'chickenhawk.'  This is only used by people pushing a political agenda.

Can you buy suppositories over the counter in the UK, or do they have to be prescribed? Also, how easy is it to use them, and how quickly do they work to relieve constipation?

I don't know if you can buy them in the UK.  If you can't cut a small piece of Ivory soap.  It will work the same.  Not as fast but it will do the trick.  My mom used to do that when we were growing up.  We were very poor.


im a shy person i need your help to ask him. i dont know if he likes me but i like him

Ask him yourself.  Don't pay someone to do it for you.  If you like a guy, express it, communicate it and if he isn't interested, move on.  Don't waste time on him.  Ultimately, it is for your benefit to get together with this guy and it is best if you try to get over some of your shyness.  You never will if you don't try.  Good luck.

The race card is played alot sadly. Many different situations are abused because of this.


the question has a little 3 on the top left coener then a suare root box and then the number 20.\n\nWhat is the 3 meant for????

The little 3 means cubed root (what times what times what equals 20). Usually when a root sign is given, it means squared root, but if a little 3 is there it means cubed root, and a little 4 would mean 4th root (ie what times what times what times what), and so on. Remember when taking roots though that minus figures may be the answer. So the square root of 16 is not just 4, but +4 and -4. Similarly the 4th root of 81 is both +3 and -3.


There are so many misspelled words and typos posted as questions. Are people really that drunk or can they not spell? Has our school system failed us this much?

Sometimes I think the same thing, but I think that people are just so excited and in a hurry to post their question that they do not proof read their question, let alone do a spell check.

I went to see Benchwarmers this weekend, they had a trailer about a thief that disquised himself as a baby. Does anybody know the title to this movie? I think it was made by Keen Ivory Wayans.


only because this guy at work say things off the wall and he knows I like him.

Messing with someone's head is inexpensive and a very satisfying way of being entertained.  If a guy knows you like him, he may be testing you to see if he can shock you, or maybe see where your buttons are.  It's just getting to know you, and screwing with someone's head is a sort of flirty thing to do.  If he says something hurtful, it's okay to let him know, but be warned: it's almost twice as fun to mess with someone if you know you can get them to the edge of losing it.\n\nGosh, this reminds me of how fun it is!  I need to answer more questions and mess with people's heads!LOL!


After some time that my PC is turned on my fan speed increases in velocity because of a 50 degree celsius temp on the CPU, which causes a lot of noise, I want to disable it. My CPU is celeron 2.4 my motherboard is ASUS p4p800sx and my fan is the original intel brand.

Are you sure you hear the fan on the CPU?  Usually the Intel CPU fans are very quiet.  The fan in the power supply and the fan for the case are usually much louder.  Four screws and a 3-pin plug for the case fan...very cheap and easy to replace.  If it's the power supply, replace the whole power supply--don't take it apart!\n\nI really would check those other two first.  After that, if you are still convinced that it is the CPU fan, you could try to replace it or get a bigger heat sink or something.  But those Intel fans are often very very good.  You might be able to control the speed in your BIOS settings, but if that fan does not cool the CPU enough, it will melt or might start a fire, etc.


Is love is a fantasy that people hope to achieve but in the end figure out it's not? There are so many people I know who believe they were in love but figured out there are not. Because of this, is there even love to begin with?

To me, love is a figment of the imagination and not real at all...People are just hopeful that they will find someone to fill the void in their lives, nothing more.  When they do meet someone, they think that it is love.


Well, I was goofin' off with my girls and long story short, my friend Christine accidentally chipped her tooth when i threw something.  It's her front tooth and it's like half gone.  I feel racked with guilt and I did Everything I could to help her out and make it up to her, but she's mad at me.  She is seeing the dentist asap today.  Will she look like her old self?  She is not vain, but she's very concerned over her looks.  \nWhat can I give her to amend things?  Money for her parents to pay the bill?  ( I dont know if she has insurance) \nTeddy bear??\nClothes or somethign from her fav store with a gift recipt?\nHow much does capping a tooth cost or whatever?\nDo I even owe her since it was an accident?\nI know we're great friends but Im just worried that it will always be lingering.  And what's an honerable thing to do here?\nHelp me out!!!

Just tell her how sorry you are and ask her if maybe she needs help paying for it.  Maybe give her a card that will cheer her up.  If you tell her how you are feeling and she still mad at you try giving her a little time to cool down.  If she can't forgive you then maybe she wasn't such a true friend after all.  But I don't know how much capping a tooth would cost.  But have faith if she is a true friend she will get over it after all she was goofing off too and has to realize it could have been the other way around.  But just talk to her.  Good luck I hope everything works out for you and your friend Christine.


Just want to know what people think on this subject.

No. If a straight couple adopt a child will it always be straight?

every girl needs to be a little more open to guys that come up to them and want to have a consvesation with them. who knows, the guy could be nice and it could turn into a good relationship.. girls i've seen are worried about how much money someone makes, what kind of car he drives, whats his social standing is. not to be mean, but the most girls i've seen do this is girls that are hot and have hot friends..girls that have fat or ugly friends you know they are a little less judgemental and guys are more inclined to go up and talk to them because they know the girl will not just tell him to go away, some actually will talk for a little bit and even possibly give a number. my point is girls get to emotionally attached to guys and should be a little more open and look for other guys instead of just hangind around one or trying to find ways to make him jealous i mean come on theres a lot of guys out there who would like to have a chance with a beatiful girl.

U SEEMS TO BE VERY ANGRY AT GIRLS.BUT I DO AGREE WITH YOU ALOT OF GIRLS NOW DAYS ARE VERY MATRIALISTIC WHICH IS NOT A VERY GOOD THINKING.I REALLY DONT CARE ABT WHAT KINDA CAR HE DRIVES.WHAT I CARE ABT IS HOW MUCH RESPECT DOES HE HAVE IN HIS SOCIETY WHAT IS HIS EDUCATION LEVEL IS WHAT IS CULTURE IS WHAT FAMILY VALUES DOES HE CARRY.I MEAN A FREAKIN DRUG DEALER CAN HAVE A BENZ BUT I DONT THINK SO ANY DECENT GIRL WOULD LIKE TO BE WITH HIM.SO MY POINT IS THERE ARE STILL MANY MANY GIRLS OUT THERE WHO MAY UNDERSTAND UR POINT AND WILL GIVE U A CHANCE.GOOD LUCK AND TAKE CARE.


here it is. i am going out with david and jon is my best friend but you see david does not know jon likes me and wants to go out with me. david also thinks he is tough and he can be all big and bad when he has know bad in him. what do i do?


Its called accountabillity, to get off welfare, you'll have to have a clean backround. I also feel you should have to produce dated reciepts for the food debit card before your issued another, because they are being cashed in small stores for 70 cents for every dollar. I'm a tired taxpayer, paying for this crap. Lets get it on! 2 years collection max for hardship only under strict supervision and accountabillity......can I get a AMEN!

That is without a doubt the best idea I've heard recently.\nYou should run for office!!

It's pretty easy to get a birth certificate if you were born in the US but I was born in Guatemala and adopted as a baby. I now need my birth certificate for numerous reasons but I don't have it. My parents have lost it. How can I get another one? Who do I contact? I also need a social security card and I need to get citizenship. I lost my job about a year ago because on my social security card it says "for work purposes only with INS authorization" meaning i need a green card. i didn't have one so they said i couldn't work there. i had a green card but my parents lost that as well. i shouldn't even need one because of a law that changed back in '98. i know i'm a legal citizen. but my parent's never filed for citizenship. i've lived in the US all my life. my daughter was born here and this is the only home i know. but how can i get citizenship and a new social security card? i also recently lost the SScard that i actually did have. what am i to use as identification? PLEASE HELP!

It sounds as if your actual citizenship, adoption and work status are questionable.  You will need to contact the court or attorney who handled your adoption. They may be able to help you trace your documents in order to get a Guatemalan Birth Certificate.  Many children in the US when adopted are issued new birth certificates listing the adoptive parents as the new birth parents. \n\nIs it possible that your adoptive parents told you that you were legal, when that was not really true? The combination of "lost documents" and the social security card with INS restrictions make it all seem suspicious.\n\nIf you ever once had citizenship then you would not need to "get" citizenship again, though you might need to replace your documents. I would start with a visit to the online US embassy, they have information and contacts regarding gaining citizenship. These contacts may be able to help you work through your paperwork step by step to get your desired result.\n\nYou can visit the local Social Security office and get a new Social Security card issued, though it is likely to still have the INS authorization restriction. \n\nYou may benefit from the services of an immigration attorney.


...earned or where your social status lies neither will he ask you how many times you came to church...He is gonna ask you one simple question..."What was your relationship with my son, Jesus Christ?"\nWhat is yours? Or have you abandoned him?

dude give us a break, or at least a date for judgement day so i can prepare an answer\n\nand are u putting words in gods mouth....how does ur priest/minister/pastor feel about such blasphemy??


People who read novels can answer my question.

I do believe she wrote Black Lion...very good book.


when i was drunk i fooled around with my friend who just happens to be going out with one of my best friends.  i know it was wrong should i just forget about it or tell her.  i know it'll break her heart.  i don't have any feelings for him at all we grew up together on the same street.  help me out ppl i feel awful.

This will probably haunt you for the rest of your life if you don't come clean with your friend. Take her to a quiet place and just be honest with her. Remember friends should be able to tell friends everything! Of course you must expect her to be upset at first but if she is truly your best friend she should forgive you. Be honest. Tell her why it happened and why you are telling her the truth. This will also let her know what type of guy she is dating. \n\nI hope it works out for you.

if your using windoves media player the wow setting could be set to echo


Plus their full address in Cardiff, Wales.

You serious? Have you seen the APR they charge? People like these and the Vanquis card shouldn't be allowed to do such a thing. I'd get a loan if I was you!\n\nBut seriously, companies like this don't actually have websites. I've had application forms thru the post but they never give any info for online stuff. No idea who they got my address off but they go straight in the bin.


when I close my eyes, I take the chance of remembering you, our love i thought was deep, I thought you would die for me as i for you, around you i felt loved, when i wasnt i remembered you, you completed my body, but now.. youre gone,youre gone in body but not in spirit, One day our love just crumbled, now i dont feel loved just used, I imagined my first kiss to be long and slow, but it was just a simple peck, but our hugs wasnt fast,No! they were long and slow as your hand slid slowly down my spine reminding me of what i needed ,  love Oh yes thats it! as i sit feeling this unusual pain, wondering what i should have done,love slowly etch away as anger takes its place,tearing at my heart, crumbling the doors of my secrets, and out steps affection, slowly healing my wounds, and dragging love back, and suddenly I love you once more

you must remember what caused you to get together in the beginning and what caused you to break up and what caused you to get back together again.


I just wanted to get some reaction to this becasue so many people ask questions on here that know absoutly nothing about what they are saying...  I just answered one about how evolution has been disproved.  I don't know where I was when that happened.  Anyways, I guess the question should be:  why does everyone try to talk about stuff they know nothing about?

Because the US has landed people on the moon........ in the 60s I believe........ do your research.


will they get adriano?\n\nronaldinho?\n\nmessi?

Adriano will be the best chance, because of the player condition in his team (Inter Milan) is not good at this time. But I heard that Madrid also hunt for Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) & Frank Lampard (Chelsea).


what category is acredit score of 590 in

Still considered poor. Any score below 600 is in hot water below 620 considered sub prime. Try to boost it over 700 and the world will be yours. ;)

I need to find the original equations for these problems:\n\n1. A circle with A(2,-3) and B (8,5) of diameter\n2. A Parabola with the focus at (2,3) and directrix x is 6\n3. A Hyperbola with vertices at (3,2) and (5,2), foci at (0,2) (8,2)\n4. An ellipse with vertices at (4,3) and (-2,3), foci at (3,3) and (-1,3)\n\nThanks

All these problems are available in coordinate geometry text books.  For the problem 1)\n\nThe equation of the circle with A(x1,y1)and B(x2,y2) as end points of diameter is (x-x1)(x-x2) + (y-y1)(y-y2) = 0\n\nSimply substitute A(2, -3) and B(8,5) wou get \n(x-2)(x-8) + (y+3)(y-5) = 0\nthat is, x^2 - 10x+16 + y^2 -2y -15 =0\nOr, x^2 + y^2 - 10x -2y + 1 =0\n\nThis is the required equation.\n\n2) In standard form of parabola y^2 = 4ax, the origin (0,0) is vertex, S(a,0) is focus and x + a = 0 is the equation of directrix.  In the present case, the focus is at (2,3).  this means the coordinates of vertex are (0,3)and the equation of diretrix is x + 2 = 0.  Therefore the equation of the parabola is (y-3)^2 = 4. 2. (x-2)\nOr y^2 -6y -8x + 25 =  0\n\nSimilarly attempt the problems 3 & 4


so forth..Yahoo Messenger Beta, vs Yahoo Messenger (regular?); Please tell me what the differences are and what it means. Thank you very much.

Beta versions mean that the product is still in the testing phase, companies need to release their products as beta so they can collect feedback from users with all the potential backwards of the product Then afterwards, they correct the bugs and release a final product


I would like to become a sonography/ ultrasound tech.

What ultrasound salary should I expect?\nThe median annual salary for an ultrasound technician was $48,660 in 2002, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The highest 10 percent of ultrasound tech salaries exceeded $65,000. \nAn ultrasound technologist salary can vary depending on work setting. For example, the 2002 median annual salary for those working in doctor offices was $50,390, while those working in hospitals earned $47,530. \nHow will experience affect my ultrasound salary?\nAs is the case with other professions, ultrasound tech salaries will be lower for entry-level workers and higher for senior positions, such as a chief ultrasound technologist. \nThe annual technician salary for a chief ultrasound technologist ranges from $56,627 to $68,690. \nThe median hourly wage for ultrasound technicians with different experience levels are as follows: less than 1 year, $19; 1 to 3 years, $20.75; 4 to 6 years, $22.73; 7 to 9, $24.33; 10 to 14 years, $25; 15 to 20, $25; more than 20, $26.05. \nWhat other salary considerations should I know about?\nAccording to Ultrasound Jobs, ultrasound technicians can expect lower pay if they're not registered with the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS). \nAnother factor for ultrasound tech salaries is the number of specialties you have. The more specialties (abdomen, breast, OB/GYN, etc.), the higher your pay. \nLastly, your employer, background, level of education or certification, and state of residence can all affect your ultrasound salary. http://www.ultrasoundtechnicians.com/sal...\n\nA good way to see what the salaries are in your state is to search job postings. In a Yahoo or Google search, type in Ultrasound Technologist jobs and your state. \n\nSource(s):\n\nMedical sonographer with 12 years experience.....


What does it mean? What is the english equivalent please?

Correct spelling is: SINE QUA NON, pronounciation(sn kwä nn).\n1. An essential element or condition \n2. A prerequisite [syn: essential condition]\n3. What is necessary\n"The perfect cake is the sine qua non of the carefully planned modern wedding"\n"A perfect cake is the sine qua non of a birthday party" \n"Love is the sine qua non of successful marriage"\n\nThis phrase is Latin for "without which not" and has been used in English since about 1600. It appears more in writing than in speech.\n\nThere's your answer, I hope that would help you make your day.


hes been in rehabs and all that. he used yestterday and wants more today...im scared if he does it again, hes gonna overdose. he od'ed like 6 times already

There is nothing you can do.  All the rehab in the world does not help, if he does not want to quit doing it.\n\nI know you want to be supportive, but sometimes leaving could actually help him.  When he realizes that his addiction is destroying his friendships, he may want to quit.  If not, it is a done deal.  Sorry about your friend.\n\nI have been through this myself.  It is hard on everyone.  But if they have an addiction, you are just someone he knows.  The addiction is his best friend.


8 months ago i had a lower back fusion with rods i am in a lot of pain and numness.my doctor thinks i should be well enough to be off pain medicine.he said i should have 70%less pain i feel like its 70%more pain

1. Demand a second opinion, preferably from a doctor not associated with your original doctor.\n\n2. You are in command of what happens in your treatment. If you are in pain, then the doctor is required to help you relieve it.\n\n3. 8 months is a long time to still be having pain and numbness. When was your last MRI done and did it show any unexplained swelling? This could be a cause of the pain and numbness.\n\nGood luck. My eldest son had dual Harrington rods and dual bone grafts to stabilize his spine after cancer surgery. He said that it was uncomfortable (meaning needing IV morphine) for about the first week. After that, he used tylenol to control the pain. This is what I am basing the statements that I made. Get a second opinion. If you are still not satisfied, get a third opinion. And tell your current doctor that you are completely within your rights to demand pain relief.


Mom gave me a computer.  The screen stayed dark.  I bought a new monitor.  The screen said keyboard error.  I bought a new keyboard.  It still says keyboard error.  What's wrong?

if it says that keyboard error then first check the that none of the keys on the keyboard is stuck to do that press all the keys one by one and then check. If it stil says the same thing them unplug all the devices from the back of CPU except keyboard, monitor and the mouse and then restart it. or if ur using USB keyboard then try a PS2 keyboard.

What [is] that good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God?\n\n3. Perfect: "my grace is sufficient" (no law even ment'd)\n2. Acceptable: I'll have mercy(grace), not sacrifice(law)\n1. Good: Law good, but also evil. Grace good, never evil.

What [is] that good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God?\nThat all should come to repentance and the knowledge of Jesus Christ. This is His will because He wills to have a loving relationship with His creation (Mankind). God gave man dominion over the earth and all with in it. He gave Man free will. Man's will sometimes collides or goes against God so God in mercy gently and methodically corrects and instructs us to bring us back to the good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God


I just recently took RU486 and I don't seem to be passing as much blood or clots that the doctor had stated.  What was your experience?  Did you pass the fetus?  From start to finish...how long was your process?

No I have not used RU-486 but I have written a short term medical paper on the drug.  It is dangerous drug that causes an explosion inside your body and if you feel that your symtoms are not what your doctor stated then I suggest going back and expressing your questions & concerns.  Take care of yourself.


he is str8 (i guess). but i don't really know what should i do to make him like.

If he's really your friend than he wouldn't care after you tell him you're gay, but try to talk to him and tell him how you feel..... Just don't push it though, Just try to be more of a friend and don't show any sighns that you like him, I have the same problem that's why I'm telling you this, Is the first time that I felt atracted to a guy (even though he atracts me as a women would atract me) I been with alot of girls and still like them, but I have the same problem you do, he's my friend, at first I couldn't stop thinking of him and called him sometimes, I got nervous when around him, but never seem to get a reaction from him, so I stop calling, still talk to him at work and I try to be more sure of myself and be more confident, now he gets nervous arond me and ask me if I want to smoke outside with him....We have a really good comversation and he trusts me more, He invited me for his b-day party, and even though I work that day I was willing to work 18 hours straight on another day just to get that day of, what I mean is be a good friend and more confident about yourself, don't think too much of the situation and just go with flow... I don't even know if he's bi, bacause him and I use to go out with the same girl, I just found that out! But he's a nice person and a good friend, and I'm basically showing him that he has a strong firend by his side that is there for him and winning his trust, and when you like someone just think that is not always you, is more about that person really.... But good luck with him though!


I have to report to probabation tomorrow for the first time and may have to take a drug test so I bought something called "the liquid stuff" that is supposed to help you test negative for all "toxins". Here is the problem: I am supposed to tell them about all prescription drugs I am taking (about 5, including a benzo, which I'm sure they test for). But will this liquid stuff "detoxify" ALL chemicals in the body including those? Should I just say I'm not on any prescriptions? Should I declare all of them except the benzo (I doubt they test for anti-depressants for instance) and if it shows up I say "oh I just forgot to list that one, there are so many". But the main question is whether the liquid stuff covers up everything including prescription drugs. Any help would be great. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

I DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT CHECK THIS OUT. go buy a grip of garlic crush it and mix it in hot water drink it then get some golden seal and take a bunch of it you will be fine


-coins (usually I'm finding change somewhere)\n\n-swimming (usually in an indoor pool but sometimes in the ocean) \n\n-driving (in real life I don't drive because I have an eye disease)\n\n-seashells (I usually find big fancy curly ones on the beach in my dreams)\n\n-being at my grandpa's house

Here are more interpretations, usually your feelings tell you which is the right meaning for you:\n\nCOINS: small changes coming into your life (Bills could mean big changes.)\n\nSWIMMING: Water represents our emotions, so when you are swimming, you are learning your emotional lessons; how to maintain and understand self in the emotional waters of life. Staying on top of emotions. Like for example, if you were drowning, that would mean you're drowing in your emotions, you know what I am saying?\n\nDRIVING: It is good that you are driving because to drive means that you are in control of your life. The automobile is symbolic of how you are traveling in everyday life. Driving in the right direction without problems means you are heading in the right direction in your life. Someone driving the car instead of you means someone else is or you are giving someone else too much control over your life.\n\nGRANDPA'S HOUSE: Usually the house represents our self. Like for example the living room is who you present to people on a daily basis/interaction, the basement has to do with our unconscious, etc. So you *felt* that it was your Grandfather's house, so maybe you view yourself as a wise, and mature person/self? Describe what did you feel when you were at your Grandfather's house?\n\nSEASHELLS: The beach symbolizes the border between the conscious and unconscious (or SuperConsciousness). What did you feel when you found those beautiful seashells on the beach? Shells are a gift from the ocean, so you received a beautiful gift from your unconscious (could mean Higher Self, God, Superconsciousness, Creator, etc.). Maybe they represent protection to you as shells protect the delicate animal within? Do you feel like you have Divine protection all the time?\n\nI sense that you are receiving very positive messages from these dreams and are on the right track based on these symbols. What do you think?

Hey, I just want to know how many responses I can get from people all around the world! I am very interested in culture so tell me about yours! What is the best thing about where you live?   (I live on Long Island, New York)

hello!\nvery nice to meet u.\ni belong to india. and my country is known for its rich, diverse and ancient culture. there are lots of different communitites. mordernity has seeped into the country and if u come here u can see a blend of both the mordern and the traditional here. it is a good balance like the colours in a rainbow. the best thing i like abut my country is the way relationships are valued. they are given importance and are respected. relationships are of the forever kind and not the momentary ones. but then again lifestyles has changed and things are not as they used to be. but then around me in my family and and my relations these norms can be observed. in short change is inevitable but v r teying to strike a balance btw yesterday, today and tomorrow.\nthe best thing abt where i live? well lots .......\nbut still one thing- icome from the southern part of the country that is rich in coconut trees........ i love the tender coconut and the sweet coconut water.......i also love the fragrance that comes from the soil when rain first strikes the soil....no perfume can ever match that!\nanyways, u spoke of where u r from but never said anything abt ur culture.......plz add....\nbye!


Okay. i have a project for the alamo.\nIm having many troubles understanding,\nabout it. if there is ANYONE with knowledge of this \nplease help!\njust feed me some information you know about the alamo.\n\n\nThank you.

Battle of the Alamo\n\nBattle of the Alamo \nPart of the Texas Revolution (against Mexico) \n\nPlan of the Alamo, by José Juan Sánchez-Navarro, 1836. \nDate: February 23–March 6, 1836 \nLocation: San Antonio, Texas \nResult: Mexican pyrrhic victory \n \nCombatants \nRepublic of Mexico Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas \nCommanders \nAntonio López de Santa Anna Pérez de Lebrón William Travis\nJim Bowie \nStrength \n1,600 in attack 183 to 250 \nCasualties \n300 to 400 dead 183 to 250 dead \nThe Battle of the Alamo was a 19th-century battle between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texan forces during the Texas Revolution. It took place at the Alamo mission in San Antonio, Texas (then known as "San Antonio de Béxar") in February and March of 1836. The 13-day siege ended on March 6 with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texan defenders, except for a few slaves, women and children. Despite the loss, the 13-day holdout stalled Mexican forces' progress and allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later successful battle at San Jacinto.\n\nIt is important to note that the defenders of the Alamo, as with all of the early battles in the Texas Revolution, were technically fighting for restoration of the previous Mexican Constitution of 1824 and not necessarily for actual independence from Mexico. It is highly unlikely that any of the defenders were even aware that independence had been formally declared before the end of the battle.\n\nPrelude to battle\n\nPrior to 1821, Texas was part of the the Mexican colony of New Spain. After Mexican independence in 1821, Texas became part of Mexico and in 1824 became the northern section of Coahuila y Tejas. On 3 January 1823, Stephen F. Austin began a colony of 300 American families along the Brazos River in present-day Fort Bend County and Brazoria County, centered primarily in the area of what is now Sugar Land.\n\nIn 1835, Mexican President and General Antonio López de Santa Anna Pérez de Lebrón, abolished the Constitution of 1824 and proclaimed a new constitution that reduced the power of many of the provincial governments and increased the power of the Presidency. Since the end of hostilities with Spain ten years before, the Mexican government, and Santa Anna in particular, had been eager to reassert its control over the entire country and control of Texas was seen as particularly important as Santa Anna rightly perceived the province to be vulnerable to America's westward expansion.\n\nMexico's new interest in Texas was not popular with the colonists however, who felt themselves to be more economically and culturally linked to the United States than to Mexico and who had grown used to the relative autonomy that the old Constitution of 1824 had given them. At the same time, Santa Anna's increasingly ambitious seizure of dictatorial powers under the new contitution was causing unrest throughout all of Mexico. Hostilities in Texas began with the Battle of Gonzales on October 1, 1835 after which the Texan rebels quickly captured Mexican positions at La Bahía and San Antonio.\n\nWith the surrender of General Martín Perfecto de Cos and his garrison at San Antonio, there was no longer a Mexican military presence in Texas. Santa Anna decided to launch an offensive with the aim of putting down the rebellion. Minister of War José María Tornel and Maj. Gen. Vicente Filisola (1789–1850) proposed a seaborne attack to Santa Anna, which would have been easier on the troops and had been a proven means of expeditions into Texas since 1814. Santa Anna refused on the basis that this plan would take too long and the rebels in Texas might receive aid from the United States.\n\nSanta Anna assembled an estimated force of 6,100 soldiers and 20 cannons at San Luis Potosí in early 1836, and moved through Saltillo, Coahuila, towards Texas. His army marched across the Rio Grande through inclement weather, including snowstorms in mo


The gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong, light cannot even escape. Gravity is the weakest of the four known forces. The strength of gravity can be compared to magnetism, for example, you can easily pick up a bunch of paper clips with a kitchen magnet. Even with the small magnet, you have the ability to pick up the paper clips. while the Earth's gravity pulls it downwards. Amazing, isn't it? Now, what happens when you do the same experiment with the gravity of a black hole? I won't discuss the fatal consequences, but will gravity in a black hole be strong enough to take something that falls in out of existence? Or does matter remain inside the black hole in the form of atoms? I think this is true, if you are willing to believe that matter is inidivisble. It's a fact: if matter was divisble, it could be broken down infinitely and all those pieces would need to have a size. If an inifnite amount of pieces have a size, it should occupy an inifnite space!

Black holes are food for my brain and curiosity. I love the subject it is so interesting!\nBackround info: A black hole is a concentration of mass great enough that the force of gravity prevents anything from escaping from it except through quantum tunneling behavior. The gravitational field is so strong that the escape velocity near it exceeds the speed of light. This implies that nothing, not even light, can escape its gravity, hence the word "black." The term "black hole" is widespread, even though it does not refer to a hole in the usual sense, but rather a region of space from which nothing can return. Theoretically, black holes can have any size, from microscopic to near the size of the observable universe.\nBlack holes are predicted by general relativity. According to classical general relativity, neither matter nor information can flow from the interior of a black hole to an outside observer. For example, one cannot bring out any of its mass, or receive a reflection back by shining a light source such as a flashlight, or retrieve any information about the material that has entered the black hole. Quantum mechanical effects may allow matter and energy to radiate from black holes; however, it is thought that the nature of the radiation does not depend on what has fallen into the black hole in the past.\n\nThe existence of black holes in the universe is well supported by astronomical observation, particularly from studying supernovae and X-ray emissions from active galactic nuclei.\nMy answer 1)time travel when you, or in this case an object, goes fast the world goes slow. and if something, a black hole, is going, or sucking, fast enough, the world around you will eventually begin to reverse.


I already know what the jockey pump does. I was wonder how this niffty little pump got its name.

Jockey comes from the Scottish word for boy (jock). It of course is used to denote the small men or boys who ride race horses. I assume the small pump meant a "boy" pump rather than the main or larger pump (the man). \n\nThis is just a guess but it makes a good story until someone comes up with something better.


I'm not sure if you're refering to environment as the "real world" or really environmental matters. I'll try to address both.\n\nFirst - how math relates to the real world, by that meaning pretty much every thing. Math is a tool for explaining the behavior of real world events. It doesn't mean that we understand how those events work, but we can predict them. For example, other than probably Stephen Hawking and a few other physicsts, most people don't even have a clue as to how gravity works, but most high school physics students can calculate the gravitational pull of two bodies in space, because they know the mathematical equations, which describe this behavior.\n\nSo math allows us to predict how something will behave. What we do is "map" the real world problem into its equivalent mathematical equations, turn the math crank a few times, and then an "answer" may pop out. That answer maps back into the real world solution.\n\nBecause of this...\n\nAn engineer knows that a bridge will stand before it is built.\n\nA rocket scientist knows how much big to build a rocket and how much fuel will be needed to reach the moon.\n\nA banker knows how much a monthly mortgage payment needs to be for a 30 year 6% mortgage.\n\n\nHowever, everyone does this real-world -> math-world -> real-world mapping almost every day.\n\nConsider the common calculator. It adds, subtracts, multiplies, etc. The one thing it doesn't contain is markings for the numbers it represents. There's no button for dollars, gallons of gasoline, boxes of store inventory. And yet people use calculators (a math world tool) all the time to solve real world problems. Here's some examples:\n\nBalancing the checkbook. All those numbers represent dollars, but the calculator doesn't care.\n\nCalculating batting averages. There's no button for times and bat nor times on base.\n\nAnd finally calculating how much paint will be needed to paint a room. The calculator doesn't include buttons for the size of the rooms or the gallons of paint needed.\n\nSo in short, the calculator will help you solve this problems, but you have to know how to translate the problem into the calculator and back out.\n\n\nNext let's look at specific environmental applications. Math can help predict the growth or shrinkage of populations of species. It can help to understand the weather. It provides the understanding of carbon dating so we can determine how old organic material old it is, such as old bones.\n\nFinally, many shapes found in nature can be described through math, some of which is very new math. For example, fractals (a part of chaos theory) are beginning to explain the shapes of trees, clouds, and rivers.


do you like it in da front or in da back

in the front....there is no entering through the exit.


Let's say you didn't know if you wanted to stay in academia. What do you think a person with a Ph.D in history would be excellent at doing otherwise (that would make money)?

There are several routes you can take....\n\nUnfortunately, in America today there is such specific focus on specialization for a career in college, that few people understand that value of a liberal arts education.\n\nThat being said, though, here are some alternatives...\n\n1) Teacher (you've probably already figured that one out)\n2) Public Service, specifically, international diplomacy\n3) Consultant in specific region's history; may have some value to multi-national corporations seeking background and management on a specific culture\n4) Writer; tough vocation, but intellectually rewarding and can be lucrative if you gain public attention through publishing.\n5)Commentator on The History Channel and their documentaries (don't laugh - you should give it a try).\n\nAt least these are five ideas you can start with....with a bit more creativity and motivation, I bet you can find even more lucrative opportunities.\n\nGood luck! :-)

Bipolar disorder used to be known as manic depression. It's a serious illness, one that can lead to risky behavior, damaged relationships and careers, even suicidal tendencies -- if it's not treated. \n\nBipolar disorder is characterized by extreme changes in mood (poles) -- from mania to depression. Between these mood swings, a person with Bipolar disorder may experience normal moods.\n\n"Manic" describes an increasingly restless, energetic, talkative, reckless, powerful, euphoric period. Lavish spending sprees or impulsive risky sex can be irresistible. Then, at some point, this high-flying mood can spiral into something darker -- irritation, confusion, anger, feeling trapped.\n\n"Depression" describes the opposite mood -- sadness, crying, sense of worthlessness, loss of energy, loss of pleasure, sleep problems. \n\nBut because the pattern of highs and lows varies for each person, bipolar disorder is a complex disease to diagnose. For some people, mania or depression can last for weeks or months, even for years. For other people, bipolar disorder takes the form of frequent and dramatic mood shifts. \n\n"There's a whole spectrum of symptoms and mood changes that have been found in bipolar disorder," says Michael Aronson, MD, a clinical psychiatrist and consultant for WebMD. "It's not always dramatic mood swings. In fact, some people seem to get along just fine. The manic periods can be very, very productive. They think things are going great."\n\nThe danger comes, he says, when the mania grows much worse. "The change can be very dramatic, with catastrophic results. People can get involved in reckless behavior, spend a lot of money, there may be sexual promiscuity, sexual risks." \n\nThe depressed phases can be equally dangerous: A person may have frequent thoughts of suicide.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/diseases_and_conditions/bipolar_disorder.htm


Iran experiences earthquakes at least once a day on average, some are slight yet some would leave a Nuclear power plant extremely vulnerable.

that should be something that Iran should worry about. and i also agree with the first answer. it saves us a war.

WOMEN NEED TO STRENGTH TRAIN MORE! It is true that following a sensible diet plan and doing cardio will make you lose weight, but the key to looking nice and not deflated and saggy looking is weight training. When you build muscle, that muscle in turn burn more fat and it raises your metabolism and you lose weight and keep it off better. Do not worry about getting bulky, it doesn't happen in women, you will get great looking though!!\nI have maintained a 45 pound weight loss by doing all three, diet, cardio, weights. When I trained for a marathon, 26.2 miles, I cut back on the weights, adn slowly gained weight back, despite all that running, so LADIES< LETS PUMP SOME IRON AND GET HOT!


This was an e mail sent to me by a brain dead moron : Message: are you sure of what you say? why do we have a concience if that is so, where did morality come from? have you ever seen past space and past life? have you ever died? have you ever been re-born? can you take a chance? are you sure of what you say? have you ever seen past space and past life? have you ever died? have you ever been re-born? can you take a chance?

Superstitious, religious types need their religion. It tells them what to do, how to act, what to think. It comforts them.  So if you threaten it with tricky questions then they can get very techie.\nSome of them think they have to 'save' other non belivers. They're very annoying.

I'm just wondering what other peoples thoughts are.  I just don't get why people go out of their way to mean to each other.

Well strangers are mean, usually they are in a big rush and they are thinking of a million things and can be quite rude..\nBut family and friends usually take out external problem's and internal stress on the ones they love. Don't know why but that's human nature.\nAnd allot of people, that work for peanuts are mean, cause they don't know if they can make ends meet or not.And they are tired and hungry and miserable...\nTry to imagine the next time someone is mean what it is to walk in their shoes for a minute and you might understand more...'\nAnd sometimes they are just down right mean through and through..


How can i add page numbers in microsoft word?

At the top of the page you should have an option menu called "insert"  if you pull that down it says "page numbers"


Perhaps Gays need their own sacred texts, gays could just point to them instead of entering into rational discussion just like bible qouters do and they could say, "It says right here in the sacred gay texts that gays are the chosen people and all the rest of you are damned to breed and will be barred from the kingom of gaydar forever!"

Haha, I think that's an awesome idea. If it doesn't work now, then at least the gay people of the future will have a sacred source to rely on. \n\nActually, I think that every kind of minority can benefit from having such a holy text. I think I might start writing a "Fat People Bible" so that I can point to it when I reach for that extra deep-fried eggroll.


What if they start to deport these ppl and it starts a civil war?

No, besides a civil was is between people of the same country not people from another country. Mexico couldn't win a war against a high school football team, let lone against the only super power in the world.


Persons not knowing exact historical details may kindly excuse, as I want the answer really for my knowledge.

You should check out a history text or Wikipedia, it is pretty good. \n\nThe French Revolution is a tricky historical event. It is very complex and quite long. It began in 1789 when Louis XVI called into session the Estates General (French Parliament). Memebers of the Third Estate (commoners mostly the bourgeoisie) chose to use the session to begin a liberal revolution.


Is Yahoo legally responsible in stopping people posting peadophilic suggestive questions to this site? If so, why aren't they doing so?

I would like to think they would be responsible in some ways as to find and delete those kinds of questions as quickly as possible. \nespecially with so many people reporting him for abuse. \ni mean they were quick enough to give me a violation for chatting, all because someone posted that i was a skinhead and had a nasty site somewhere, \nso i asked this person what he meant, next thing i know a violation email.\nCatch the weirdo's as quick as you catch the simple mistakes.

In 2004 Smarty Jones won the Arkansas Derby. Then won the Kentucky Derby. Oaklawn had a $5 million bonus for any horse that could win both. Was That just a bonus for that year or is Lawyer Ron eligible this year for that bonus?

The $5 million bonus was a one-shot deal for Oaklawn's 100th anniversary 2 years ago.  Smarty Jones won it by winning the Rebel Stakes, the Arkansas Derby, and the Kentucky Derby.  Smarty would have won another $5 million if he won the Belmont Stakes, making him the richest North American thoroughbred horse of all-time, passing Cigar, at $9.9 million.

I have around 100 SQL scripts-SQL queris/procdure/function/packages running against Oracle 8i database in production environment - 24/7. These jobs are scheduled to run automatically at specified time thru a tool called appworx. These jobs are now taking longer time to finish, which makes schedule to be delayed. Please tell how to do perfomance tuning for these SQLs/PLSQL programs running against oracle database. Thanks.

Oracle performance tuning can get rather complicated. First, you have the choice of tuning these queries from the data end or from the query end. Lets take the query end first. Using something like TOAD (http://www.toadsoft.com/) or tora (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tora/)  run an explain-plan. This will show you where the slow parts are. (you can do this from a command-line, but it is hard to read). Then you need to decide what to change in the execution to get it to go faster. Usually, things like Cartesian joins are bad (but not always). You can force the join order with hints:  /*+ use_hash(t1 t2) */ where t1 and t2 are table aliases. There is a lot more to this, let me get you a link: http://www.pafumi.net/Tips_for_Effective_Queries.html That is a pretty good discussion of the main points. You can get the different hints from your oracle manuals. From the server side, you can run heuristics, improve your indexing, make certain tables I/O type. Actually, there are huge number of things you can do, but I have historically dealt with this from the query perspective. In 8i, the database tuning is limited compared to what you can do in 9i and higher.

I cut my arm a few days ago, and now im so ashamed of it im hiding it, its not bad but please help me because im scared incase my mum finds out. =(

"Cutting," what you are doing, is very common (perhaps too common) among teenage girls.  It is seen as a cry for help.  Perhaps you should so your mom and explain this to her.  If you don't feel comfortable with that way, talk to a guidance couselor at school or another adult that you trust.  But please, please talk to someone!  Good luck.


I filmed video and during filming I took photos. And now when I watch this video there are pictures in my movie. It is .avi . How can I remove photos from that video? Maybe with Adobe Premiere?

Import your movie into Windows Movie Maker.  At the points where you have the photos make a split point at the beginning and end (Clip > Split).  Then just delete the photo in between.\n\nYou might also check your video camera and see if there is a way to turn off the export of photos or to delete the photos... it sounds like you have a camera that records the photos onto the tape, so that might not be possible, but at least the WMM editing should fix things.


it seems from media portrayals that dissent is discouraged in order to make the military work most effectively.  opposing voices are... discouraged.  is there ever a case where dissent might be a good thing?\n\nhere are some well-publicized (perhaps TOO well-publicized) examples that might get you thinking...\n\ncase 1: if you had serious doubts or complaints about donald rumsfeld, would you risk the ruin of your military career and go to the press?  (not knowing the proper channels to take as i'm not a member of the military...)...to mr. rumsfeld himself?  would you say nothing?\n\ncase 2: would you be able to speak up if you were aware of the existence of a videotape of troops torturing prisoners as in abu ghraib?  what of the repercussions?\n\nfyi: yahoo found a similar question to mine as i finished typing: "what are the common characteristics of a cult?"  hmmm...\n\na final word: please be nice.  you are entitled to your opinion.  i am not out to offend anyone... just curious.

I spent 22 years in the US Air Force.  I retired as a Master Sergeant.  I disagreed with my bosses on many occasions and normally I told them.  Without exception, my input was considered.  Sometime it caused a change and sometimes it didn't.  Once the decision was made, I saluted, said "yes sir" and went about making it happen.\n\n"Permission to speak freely" is almost always given to a Senior Noncommissioned Officer.  Also, anyone can ask and receive permission to go up the chain of command.  The press/news media is not the place to hammer out a problem.  Unless and until you have exhausted everyone in your chain of command, and that includes the President of the United States.  Just remember, as a previous answer said, don't be smarta$$.  If you are seriously concerned, your concern will be taken seriously.\n\nAs an example:  I went to my boss once with what I thought was a simple solution to a problem.  I found out that I didn't understand the problem at all.  I was not hammered for it, in fact the old man thanked me for my efforts.


I'm 15 right(from Ca) now and I like this guy who is very athletic n very very cute n he seems really sweet from what my friends say bout him who r also his friends.

Am I missing something?  If she is a nice girl and the two of you hit it off, go out with her.  If you don't have anything in common, don't string her along but don't be mean. Either way, be tactful and a gentleman.


I played the Clarinet in my high school band. I had the best experience and loved playing music. :)


like him, hate him? state where you are from because i want to know what people from around the country think.

I live in Mobile, Alabama and Hank Aaron lives within 30 miles of me to the right of me is Hank Aaron Statium were the Bay Bears play. Any way thats not important what i like to say if your in the sports do you take steriods i mean how does it make you hit a ball further must be some strong stuff. I dont favor Hank because i was raised not far away and we got some really great baseball players come from here. Besides the point thats the country in me rambling on. I dont hate anyone or dislike them unless they try to hurt my family well dogget there i go again. What i was going to tell you if you dont live close bye that Hank was on the news a short while back saying he was not going to back, Bonds up if he broke the record. Now some may say Hanks being selfish because its his record coming up but i think i will stand by Hank on this one. If he did it without drugs why cant someone else i mean one man did it way can there be another Hank out there unless he was the greatest of all time at homerun hitting.


how many of ya'll agree with what is goin on with the whole immagration thing? dont be shy, i just want to understand why you feel the way you do.

I live in Mexico, and I'm worried of all of what is happening in the USA with the immigrants -specially mexican -because we are aware our economy is very dependant on the people who is working at the USA, as well as on the comercial relations with your country.\n\nThe really bad thing is that you are not aware of this fact, we have a simbiotic relation, whether we like it or not, our governers have built this relation since a long time ago, and it is very complex and dependant on each other at this point.\n\nI believe there is being a big problem of comunication, and here there are many responsabilities.\n\nFrom the media which are not always impartial, and they present many positions and opinions, but not all the information needed by people to take their own conclusions.\n\nThe goverments, that have postpone this important negotiations for years, making this to get to a point of no return - there exists 11 million of mexican "illegal" immigrants living in the USA nowadays.\n\nAnd the 9 11, (and all the media that managed that situation) wich have created an environment of hate and overprotection. \n\nAmerica uses the labor, and Mexico has not been able to have the economical growth we need to give all the citizen a good job.\n\nThe demography is important as well, a big percentage of the people on the USA is about to get the age to be retired, and in Mexico our population is young. \n\nThat's another fact, listen to the business man, they are aware of this fact, and that's why some of them are supporting the immigrants.\n\nI know it's been done in the wrong way, and I am concious that many of my conationals are "illegals" in the USA.\n\nBut that have been a problem that should have been solved a long time ago, and neither your government, neither mine, did anything. \n\nAt this point this is a lot more complex than a wall, or to deport them back, have you visualized how much work would it take to deport them all back here? or send them to jail? \n\nAnd as i said before is the time to try to reunite not to divide even more! \n\nThe point is to get a good agreement between all of the parts, and we, all of us, are part of it. The USA citizen, the Mexican citizen, black people, white people.\n\nIn Mexico we have a lot of things to do, and solve, that's correct, and i believe the only way we have is voting, learning, working, and raising our voice to demand the govern some solutions to our situation. \n\nBut this is just a little part of the ecuation!\nI hope we all - Mexican, American, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants can think about. \n\nThere is not need to build walls - aren't Americans againts walls? against represions? aren't you for the free market? That's what you have built and show to the world for all of the modern times.!!!

Can anyone explain to me why, in a serious relationship, that a partner may declare his/hers love for the other person, but yet they are headstrong in doing unnecessary things (such as blowing money, etc.) even though they know the other person has a legitimate problem with it.  What's going on here?

Actions do speak louder than words, but unfortunately actions are not always clearly defined. Your man may really love you, even though his spending habits cause you much frustration. Men tend to be a bit obtuse when it comes to their creature comforts. You may not be able to get his attention on these matters unless you raise the stakes high enough. My question to you is, how important is this issue? Is it worth breaking up over? If he loves you, he will modify his behavior to keep you from leaving. Good luck...

Eva Compound is a chemical which use in footwear,it consist of Ethylene Copolymere resin and Engage or any other chemical.\nNow what is the best ratio of above chemical for making the best formula of eva compound.

present invention provides a method for producing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) containing 5 mol % to 60 mol % of ethylene, by copolymerizing ethylene and vinyl acetate with a polymerization initiator, in which an aliphatic alcohol having not more than four carbon atoms is used as the polymerization solvent, the contents of acetaldehyde and a saturated acetic ester with respect to vinyl acetate are not more than 200 ppm, and 10 ppm to 1500 ppm, respectively, and polymerization is carried out at a temperature of 30° C. to 150° C. EVA obtained by the foregoing method may be saponified to obtain a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVOH). According to the present invention, at least one of (i) improved melt-extrusion stability, (ii) improved melt-moldability, (iii) reduced discoloration, and (iv) reduced gelation is achieved.


obese people undergo a lot of exercising to lose their excess weight, but why is there skin left over?

just like your clothing, elasticity dies out in your skin, so if you stretch too far then the elastic in your skin wears out and will not shrink all the way. I have lost over 100lbs and have alot of that skin.


Do you think of death often? Do you fear death? Do you dream of dying in a particular way?\nWhat is your personal feeling about death?

We start dying as soon as we are born. I think death is a part of life and one has to accept it. I had a close call with death thrice in my life but still never have nightmares about it. I am not scared of death nor do I invite it. All I know is that I will accept it peacefully when it comes. If I do expect something in my life related to death it will just be a peaceful and painless death. Something like dying in a moment without suffering with the pain for long.


Is it possible for any super hero or villian to beat the Spectre by him/herself.

years ago it happened in the DC comic universe and it was done by Neil Gaiman's Dream from The Sandman Chronicles.. If I remember correctly Dream was upset over the Jim Corrigan host of the Spectre's acvitvities into his realm and attempted to make sure it never happened again.  The Spectre and Dream battled to an obvious victory by Dream and it forced the Spectre to switch hosts from Jim Corrigan to the biggest Green Lantern Corps joke hero ever and I mean Hal Jordan

...international students?\n\nI listed this question in "society & culture" as well but didn't get as much response as I was hoping.  \n\nHOSTING STUDENTS.  Please share your experiences, thoughts, opinions, stories, advice, etc, about hosting international students in your home.  \n\nMy hubby & I have applied to host a 20 year old Japanese student this summer while they attend our local university.  We've heard many bad stories, but are looking for a more balanced viewpoint, and so would appreciate yours.  :D  Thanks!

Here is a tip for host families who will have a Japanese student at home. \nEveryone is different, so this tip doesn't apply to every student. However, Japanese students are likely to stay in their room most of the time when they have a home-stay. Because of the language barrier and the new environment, they feel uncomfortable and stressed out. They know they should try to communicate with their host family as much as possible and spend time in the living room. But it is very comfortable especially when they first come to the house. They come to the living room but don't know what to do, so they end up being stuck in their room most of the time. A lot of host family feel very annoyed by this behavior. They feel that the student doesn't like the family, or they just have a negative impression toward the student. These student's behavior easily causes miscommunication and misunderstandings between the family and the student. \nOf course, the student has to study. But I suggest that you try to take her/him out of their room when they aren't studying. Japanese students tend to be very shy and passive. So invite her/him to watch a DVD together in the living room. Cook together. It's better to keep her/him busy with some fun activities you can do together. It can be as simple as a picnic at the park or going shopping. They even will find it fun to go to the grocery store. No matter how quiet she/he can be, keep in mind that they don't dislike you or angry at you. \nHope you have a good time!

My best friend out of the blue stopped answering my calls and my messages. The last time I talked to her she had just had a miscarrage due to a severe bladder infection. I told her I would call her back later to check up on her and she never answered the phone so I gave up after a week. It has been about 3 months since we have spoken and I am clueless as to why she would just let go.  I am pretty sure she got all my messages because I left them on her cell phone.

I understand what your going thru. My best friend is doing the same thing to me. I called her in November to ask her if she wanted to go out for her b-day and she hasn't called me since. I did find out that she is getting married(through a mutual friend) I have no idea what's going on w/her either. Like an earlier answer said, I'm sure she is probably dealing with something in her life right now that she doesn't feel so great about. Maybe she feels too bad to talk to you about it? Maybe she thinks you'll judge her. I would just do what I did. I called my best friend a couple of weeks back and left her a message on her cell. I told her that I didn't know what was going on but I still loved her and cared about her very much. We've been friends for 13 years and I have never judged her for anything she has done in the past and she can come to me with anything. After you've done that, all you can do as back off and give her some space. If she's truly the friend that you think she is(and like I think my best friend is) she'll come around. Just let her know that you are worried about her and want to make sure she's ok. If she continues to be this way, maybe you're better off without her. That's what I've decided.


many of these questions are answered by ridiculous answers that are not relevant or half funny..is this the best we can do..?

How do you compensate when most of the questions are equally as ridiculous?  \nIt should have age related categories, or be divided into age period groups.  I feel too old for most of these questions that MUST be from a 14 year old.


Division by subtraction of two long numbers

What you need to do is take the numerator and subtract the denominator in a loop until the remaining numerator is less than the denominator while counting the number of times you do the subtraction.  You  will then have a whole number result with a remainder.  If you need to get decimal places then multiply the remainder by 10 and repeat the original process for the 1/10ths place and then repeat this process for each decimal place that you need.


Why is it the almost all of the Christian sect aims their focus against the Catholics? Do you consider it as a true Christian church?

As a Cradle Catholic and current CCD teacher, I can assure you the Catholic Church is a true Christian church.  I believe they are attacked so much because they are the strongest, and largest Christian denomination.  Those in power are always reviled.  It's sad, too, because there is so much beautiful, rich tradition in the church that others will turn from simply from a lack of understanding.\n\nSomeone once said the Catholics are the "Marines" of religion.  I think people expect a higher standard from them.   I think because of the history, the scandals seem even more atrocious.  I'm not about to condone the way the church handled the most recent sex abuse scandals.  Our own priest blasted the church for not calling these priests down as the criminals they are;  but I do know from my theological studies that no matter the scandals in the heirarchy of the church, it has always been THE FAITH OF THE PEOPLE that is the true strength of the church, and where Jesus lives best.\n\nAs to theological divides, I believe that most of those stem from misunderstanding.  An example is that many people believe Catholics worship Mary.  We don't.  We worship God.  But Mary, as the mother of Jesus and first Christian, is important.  Jesus honored her;  so must we.  \n\nThis was a good question.  You phrased it with an open mind.  Good for you!


To Swimmer:\n\nYou better check your info.  Your figures are off a little.\n\nBrazil - 5 championships\nGermany & Italy - 3 championships\nArgentina - 2 championships\n\nAnd the last two won by Brazil were in 1994 (Penalty Shoot-out against Italy in L.A.) and then in 2002 not 2004, the world cup is played every 4 years.
