Porifera - pore bearers.  The body of a sponge is covered with tiny openings called pores. \n\nInvertebrate animals that live mostly in saltwater, but there are some species that live in freshwater. \n\nSponges are non-motile and depend on moving water currents. \nWater, food and Oxygen move in : Carbon Dioxide and Wastes move out \n\nSpicules- thin spiny structures that make up the skeleton of sponges. \n\nReproduction: \nSexual- egg and sperm are released into the water, forming new sponges. \nAsexual- budding, a piece breaks off and forms a new sponge which is an exact copy of the parent \n\nfor more information and pictures, specimens go to the link given below........\n\nEnjoy Lecturing........


True story. They are circling the internet all over. You just have to typed in fetus soup and lots of research would appear.

Are you serious? My god I am learning a lot of interesting facts this moring. Are you really for real? I need proof.\n\nOkay...I just checked it out and you are right. In fact I was taken to a site in which a man was dining on a little baby in Taiwan. Eck! I am not sure if I will be eating much today.


the season is over? idk lol didn't know it wasnt on...


I can't stand it. Already this starts. He waits all the way up to game time then decides he can't play. I could have started anyone else and done better. Hang in there? Or not?

The only good thing about Nomar is his eligibility at a couple infield positions. Next year, when he is only a first baseman, he will be practically worthless. As for this year, I think he will be a decent option in a league as deep as yours. But you do need to keep a daily watch on him to see if he has been hit with the injury bug again. \n\nDon't just drop him, because he's certainly worth a starting spot when healthy. Just plan to have a backup for those times when he isn't. Trading him would be difficult right now, because everyone will be gun-shy about him. If he can get a solid month of healthy play, you might want to deal him before he breaks again.


Her voice (singing and talking) just makes me ill.  Aside from her 1970 screwball comedies, her movies are all just narcissistic, self-absorbed, fraudulent intellectual BS.  \n\nI know as a liberal homo, I'm supposed to worship her, but she just fills me with repugn. \n\nAm I alone?\n\nOh, and I'm ready for your BabsQueens to read me.  Go ahead, I can take it.

I couldn't agree more with you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. TOGETHER WE STAND.


i think katherine and paris will do awsomely, elliot and kellie might do ok, chris and taylor wont do great cause they generally are not good with this clasical stuff.\n\nonly answer that are made before 8 o'clock will be considered for best answer as American Idol starts at 8 tonight and i want prediction not the real results,

My Predictions...\n\nI think that Katharine will shine once again tonight!  I think Elliot will do pretty good too since it sort of his style.  Chris will wow the girls once again because of his looks although i dont think his singing quality will be that good.  Taylor will be Taylor, how else do you explain him?  I think he will be good but not spectacular.  Kellie will be adorable but i think she might have some pitch problems again this week.  Paris usually does good with everything she sings so she'll be nice to watch.  I think Katharine will blow everyone away again this week.  She has awesome talent!  I think it might be Elliot, Paris and Kellie in the bottom three this week.  Elliot might be leaving us...you never know which way it turns!  It always surprises me!


Reference of the legislation will be useful.What are the rights of children born in prisons? Are there any standards set to ensure for their care and protection?

By law the child goes to foster care. After the dust settles a relative can file for custody.


Many religious leaders, covering all faith groups seem to have a double standard when it comes to religious vilification. Should they be restricted from speaking out about other religions. Also should their organisations/churches also be liable for their action under the same legistation.\n\nMany of the more radical religious leaders, seem to speak out in ways that promote discrimination and hate crimes.

Speaking out against them is one thing, promoting hatred and actual assault is another.  Words are all we have sometimes to convey ideas, and most religions are a quest for truth, which is an idea hard to present in another way.  Sometimes the only way to define the truth is to point out the lies.\n\nIf the words do not promote/encourage hatred of people or criminal activities (riots, assaults, suicide bombings, etc) then let them speak.  Truth will always prove itself out in the end.

You would be called a racist, or be considered a hate group.


Sore foot especially when turning it over.  Painful in top of foot and ankle when I roll foot around.

Stay off of it as much as possible---soak it in very warm almost hot water with Epsom salts.


I have had this fetish for a few years now, and I would really like to get rid of it. I like to eat fish whole and alive, then sit back and feel them move around inside my belly. Please don't reply telling me how sick this is, I already know that much.. and I'd rather do this than touch little kids or something like those people do with their fetishes.

Well at least your not lubing the small animals and shoving them up your @ss! Seriously, the only thing I'm concerned about is the cleanliness of the animals. Maybe you should start breeding them in a safe and clean environment. Good luck! By the way, stay away from my goldfish!


If you went back In time before 9/11 and you knew what was going to happen and no one else did what would you do to help?

I'd call in a bomb threat to both towers so they'd be evacuated.  Then I'd play playstation all day or something.


When I talk to people and find faultiness in their logic should I jump to question it or just smile and say something conversationally that does not necessarily disagree or agree? Is there a time and place for honesty or should honesty be kept close at hand at all times?

William Shakespeare said it a lot better than I can: "And this above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night, the day, thou canst not then be false to any man". Just be honest and tell the truth. Not mean , or ugly, but with tact and compassion.......the honest truth. That's all people want.....truth.


My boyfriend ended up falling asleep in a bar and the owner of the bar and a friend came to pick him up off of the floor he had ended up in and he must have been scared cause he started to try to get away from them and he ended up flailing his arms around and must have acctidentally hit one of the men so they both proceeded to beating him and ripping his clothes off... I seen it happening and went to help him out and I ended up having to punch a man to protect myself cause he started comming at me after I had pushed him away from my boyfriend.. Long story short they called the cops and the police came and arrested me for battery, and arrested my b/f for aggrivated battery.. And he has now been sitting in jail for 2 1/2 months and we are both still going through our criminal cases. I have no idea what to do? Please someone help!

THE NEW WAY TO CHAT IS THROUGH YAHOO WITH VOICE... BUT I HAVE A MAC AND CANNOT GET THAT SO IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN CHAT WITHOUT IT?


has anyone who has quit smoking tried this form of quitting where they use a laser? i have an ad for it but i haven't had a chance to do any research on it yet. has anyone tried it or know of anyone who has? any help is greatly apreciated thank you

no no no no, it's another scam.. you must use an alternative to smoking if you can't quit by will.. Get the gum first, shew as much as you want at the beginning so you don't crave cigs, give it time, you can't quit in a week or a month, use it for 3 months then alternate between nicotine gum and regular gum to phase the addiction out. this will rid of your psy addiction and then physical dependancy. It's cheeper to start with.


I wrote my first song when I was six years old, I beleive my song writing is a gift from God.I worked for 2 different shhool districts serving children with special needs. Many times I was asked to bring my guitar to various class rooms to share my music. It was always appreciated. In my last engagement I played before 800 middle school students (10/05), it went very well. I have letters of reconmendation from the prinicpal and the councler. I am now disabled so I can no longer do free engagements. I've also played for several church's free, but can no longer afford to do that. I thank you for any help you can give me. I am a 51 year old man the has seen and been through alot.

What I mean is: why do words uttered in our mother tongue have emotional meaning for us while those spoken in a language learned after the age of 12 do not arouse emotional connotations?

well French is not my mother tongue and I learned it in my twenties. I feel in English and that is why it means more to me as I can understnd every nuance. I will go so far though to say that sometimes something will be said or sung in French that just touches my soul.


I've traveled to some parts of the world and I've noticed that asians are usually shorter that europeans or americans. Any reason why?

It's the race. Who said we don't eat enough veggie and short of waters?\n\nMy opinion is the opposite. Asian eats lots veggies, got more varieties because of the climate. And rain..? Most of Asians live in tropical country. Got enough sunshine and never short of rain. \n\nAsians are shorter, part of the reasons might be the genetics, the food --europeans and americans rarely eat rice, eat lots of red meat eg. see how the japanese got hundreds variety of veggie, they even eat flowers!-- and also the climate.


That's easy!  All you have to do is make an appointment with your physician (your normal practitioner will do just fine) and explain to him that you just haven't been feeling 'right'.  You do not have to go into detail about what is going on in your life, but he or she may ask you questions about your recent eating and sleeping habits, how long you havent been feeling right, things of that nature.  Don't be surprised or offended if they ask you if you have thought about hurting yourself or anyone else.  They have to ask that to make sure that you are okay.  Just be honest with your doctor, and he or she will most likely give you a referral to a psychologist or therapist.  Once you get that, it is important to make your appointments and keep them.  Going to a psychologist or therapist isnt like going to a normal doctor.  You will most likely find it to be a more comfortable setting in which you can really explain in detail whats bothering you, and he or she can help you through it.  You may also be referred to a psychiatrist, which is no big deal really because sometimes it is they who are able to make the best clinical diagnosis of any problems that you may be facing, such as a major depressive episode.  The most important thing to remember is not to be sacred or apprehensive... These people are there to help you help yourself. =)


your body contains approximately 5  liters of blood.how long does it take for the entire volume of bloo to pump through your heart?

Not more than a couple of minutes. That's why a serious injury on the carotid artery or the wrist is so dangerous.\n\nIf I had to ballpark it, I would say about 3-4 minutes depending on the size of the person.


I would like to receive democratic underground bush jokes.

I got one from a friend of mine that is a New Zealander. I can't put it in here, it's to "BIG," but if you Email me with your address, I will cut and paste it, and send it to you. It's the funniest one I have ever heard as to date. This also shows you what that side of the World thinks of George Bush. My email is on my page, and your welcome to use it.


I have girls giving me vibe, but I don't really like any of them. In a way I could have hooked up if I wanted to, but I find it really hard to find the girl that I like. Does anybody have similar experience as me? Guys and girls, please give me your opinion.

there's nothing wrong with that .you just don't like any of them. take your time, when you find the one you like, it will be diffirent and worth it.


a secret crush on this person, and you think they might have one on you.......does her call mean anything?

A BIG YES!! You only do those kinds of things when you feel something really special about someone.

I'd just like to know how to "erase" something from an e-mail, either before I send it on, or before I print it or Save it.  That way I don't use up precious space for unnecessary addresses.  Thank you.

Hit "forward" then highlight the bits you want to delete & hit backspace or delete.  Then send it.


This is very similar to the floating of a (slightly oily) needle on the water. Surface tension acts like a stretched elastic membrane. The water is always trying to minimize its free surface area (that is, surface that is not contacting and wetting some solid).\nWhen you put an unwettable object on the water it stretches the surface which increases the surface tension. This tension holds up the needle. When you push a tube with an unwettable inner surface into the water, the surface tension tries to minimize the unwetted surface area by not rising into the tube. It will reach a level in the tube that balances the bouyancy due to the immersed air with the surface tension.


You are just standing and notice the bug crawling next to your shoe. You normally don't have a problem stepping on bugs. Why use the heel vs toe of your shoe.  You want to do this descreately so as not to draw attention. Would you think it fun? Would you just wait for him to crawl close to your heel and place your heel on him pinning under the heel. Would it bother you if he was squrming under your heel?

If the bug wasn't trying to crawl onto my shoe and up my leg I would leave it alone.


Can any one tell me wat the problem could be and how to solve it.

Thers probabl;y something wrong with ur memory.Take the card out and just blow it and place it back in.


I know that there is a theory that we didn't land on the moon, but I need to know WHEN that theory developed.\n\nI am doing a project on the 60's and my theme is the moon landing, so if I was to include the theory it would need to have been around very soon after the moon landing.  Sources,especially are great.

Phil Plait's website http://www.badastronomy.com as mentioned by others has gobs of info, but really the "moon hoax" junk really started in earnest in about 1978, coinciding with the release of a movie who's plot was about how NASA must fake a manned Mars mission.  The film, "Capricorn 1" was released in 1978.\n\nAlso, if you are actually doing a report on the 60's and the moon landing, you probably want to steer clear of the "conspiracy," as it really is quackery of the highest caliber.

What is so important about religion? I don't get it. Why do we even need religion?

It can be a way to give people a common experience, rituals, things like that. But eventually it gets corrupted and becomes a curse, so I agree with you. We should stick with science.

I think that a Summer Olympics is possible in San Juan but with so many Olympics of the past held in North America, San Juan would have to compete with so many other cities throughout the world just to be the final five candidate cities.

No, they do not have the money or the facilities...\nSorry dude... there are way too many other cities too!


I have applied for jobs in Edinburgh but every time I turn up for an interview it goes wrong because I'm to shy, then I get to nervous and I can't talk.  Any advise on how to control that will be helpful.

Helpful Strategies for Job Seekers\nAre you in the job market? Looking for a new job? A first job? Returning to the workforce after a long period of time off? Here are some helpful tips and special links as you enter the market.\n\nWhether you're a first-time job seeker or a veteran of America's labor force, there are ten simple rules you need to know before you sit down for a job interview:\n\n   1. Know what to expect\n      A typical interview will focus on your education, experience, background, attitudes and career goals. Be prepared to address each of these areas during your meeting.\n\n   2. Ask questions\n      Don't miss your opportunity to interrogate the employer. You owe it to yourself to prepare a list of respectful questions ahead of time.\n\n   3. Be prepared for tough questions A tough interview question is any question you might find difficult or impossible to answer. Some of them you can anticipate ahead of time - prepare for them ahead of time.\n\n   4. Look good\n      Choose what to wear carefully. It's no secret that most often judge job seekers based upon their appearance and behavior.\n\n   5. Be professional\n      Approach every job interview as if it were an important meeting.\n\n   6. Conclude the interview\n      Conclude every interview with a clear plan of action in mind. State what that plan is and then follow through with it.\n\n   7. Deal with money issues\n      Compensation is important to both you and the potential employer. Talk about issues of pay and/or other compensation in a professional, matter-of-fact way.\n\n   8. Follow-up\n      A post-interview letter is invaluable. Thank the potential employer for the interview and outline the follow-up plan of action you're taking.\n\n   9. Evaluate job offers\n      Evaluating job offers can be tricky. It's a very personal process. List all the positives you can think of and weigh them against any negatives you can think of. Be fair to yourself and your potential employer.\n\n  10. Wrap things up\n      Don't neglect this final stage. Not a lot of people do it, but it's truly the mark of a professional. Write to all the people you interviewed with. Thank them for their consideration and let them know what you decided.\n\nManaging a Career\n\nThe nature of the workplace is changing, concerns about the future have been expressed by many individuals, both those preparing to start a career and those having to adjust to job changes and job losses. Stable and secure positions seem to have disappeared. You have been put in charge of your own career. Managing it will be a lifelong process. Discover the place in the world where you'll be able to enjoy a high level of wellness. Choose work that will be compatible with your own unique skills, knowledge, personality and interests. Define the balance that you would like to have with your work, finances, health, and relationships with family, friends and colleagues.\n\nBe proactive about your career. Take charge. Don't just react to whatever chance or luck brings your way.\n\nYour success depends upon understanding the changing nature of jobs, careers and the workplace in general. Be aware of local, national and even global trends. Big companies are getting smaller-they are downsizing and delayering. Internal promotions are becoming more scarce. Companies are outsourcing, entering into joint ventures, opening up opportunities for entrepreneurs.\n\nIn addition to whatever academic background or discipline that a potential employer may specify, employers say they are looking for people who are independent decision-makers and self-managed learners with a positive work attitude, well-rounded education with math and computer literacy, communication skills including good use of language, interpersonal and time management skills, flexibility and dependability. Employers seem to be much more interested in what you've actually done with your talents, than in what talents y

I'm a resident who returned after 13 years abroad. What an exciting time to be here - this is the birth of a nation, and a nation with great promise at that. With economic indicators not witnessed since the early 1980s and a general mood of optimism never seen before, this is a great country to live in. The problems are solvable, and those who choose to return will help solve those problems.

i hope you got your answers, because damn your fine!!\ni like a man that shows his chest hair. yummy


Rosa and Natasha live in a village in the south of France. They live off of croissants and value each one according to Equation 1: \n\n(Equation 1) Value of croissant=$33.47-(0.8 x C) - (0.075 x C2)\n\nwhere C is the number of croissants and P2 is (C x C) or C squared. \n\nHow would each, independently, change the croissant market price and quantity. How would I explain the possible change in price and quantity in terms of changes in the demand or supply curves assuming competitive market conditions. \n\nA. A shortage of jam?

Shag both of them. The price will be reduced!


I need to know the type of glue, foam, and fabric used to make the basic mouse pad. Also any place where i could find this information to reference it would be very useful.

I have a friend that is Jewish and her grandmother just passed away. She is very upset. She said her and her family are having a hard time finding a funeral home that will handle and prepare the body according to their faith. I felt it would of been inappropiate of me to ask questions at this time, but what I gathered, how the body is prepared ie draining of body fluids is different than other faiths. Can anyone give me some insight and information on this topic?\nThank you. :)

I'm not 100% on the Jewish faith, but under Islamic law, a Muslim is to be buried as soon as possible, in as simple as possible grave, without any sort of embalming. I'm assuming it's the same for the Jewish faith. Anyways, the best thing to do would be to get in touch with a temple and ask them who they know and what the rules are regarding burial and stuff. They should have all the information on hand.

Personally I think rock-chicks are sexy as hell. A lot more fun, individual and genuine than most lasses. But a lot of my mates disagree n think that they're low-lifes. What's you're opinion and if you are one do you get on with many non-rock chicks?

Rock chicks almost always carry themselves with more dignity and class than people credit them for. They always know who they are and what they are about. I tip my hat to all the women of rock.


Your symptoms can be airborne or food oriented. Probably pollen or pet dander.......get a high quality air purifier and humidifier and use them while sleeping.  Use over the counter antihistamines, some with pseudophedrine can keep you awake,use only during daytime, but those with diphenhydramine can promote sleep at night.\n\nIf your allergy is food oriented stay away from the most common triggers: nuts, aged cheese, wines, preserved meats and fruits....... lots of luck on solving your allergies.......


I have a XP machine setup as a server with a lot of disk space. Is it better to setup a policy on each computer that implements folder redirection or is it better to just map a network drive and have users save their stuff to that drive? I am sure there may be advantages or disadvantages to both so I would like to know that before I implement this. Does one use up more network traffic then the other? I will have about 9-12 computers setup to do this.

I believe if you use the "mapped drive" solution, you will at some point have users whom have inadvertently unmapped their drive and they'll be calling you to remap it.  Also many users don't understand the idea behind mapping drives;  all they see is the letter that has been attributed to the mapped drive.  Basically mapped drives is more confusing to endusers and when you're talking about users finding their own documents, you want to make it as simple as possile.  Hope this was to the point.

i.e......there is nothing he (she) can't do, ...then can he create a stone so heavy he can't lift it?

God is omnipotent, omnibenevolent, omnipresent, and omniscient.  Omnipotent:\n\nHaving unlimited or universal power, authority, or force; all-powerful.\n\nThe question you pose is not a matter of power.  It is a matter of integrity:  \n\nSteadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. \nThe state of being unimpaired; soundness. \nThe quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness. \n\nGod is not divided.  It's not that He is not powerful enough to create a stone that can't be lifted, it is that His integrity cannot be divided and the integrity of the weight of the stone and His power cannot be divided.\n\nThe Bible names two things God cannot do.  One of them is that God cannot lie.  The inability to lie is not a matter of power but integrity.  \n\nBTW the other thing God cannot do is be tempted by evil.


im mostly looking as to how this pwc rides. and also is it good for a first time rider looking for fun on a budget

I have been a watercraft tech for 15 years on sea-doo, kawasaki, and honda`s new watercraft for the 2 it`s been out. The 2000 gtx had 2 different models the RFI w/787 engine and the limited w/947 engine.Both are good ski`s but I`d prefer the RFI model. THe 947 needs more maintainance and goes through engines while the 787 will last a long time.If you want a good ride the GTX is what you want.Being a 3 seater it`s longer and rides much better than a 2 seater in choppy water, and isn`t easy to tip over like the 2 seaters are.It is also alot easier to get on to.Also you must have a 3 seater to pull a skier legally.So yes a 2000 GTX would be a perfect personal watercraft for you. Hope this was enough info and you have lots of fun on it!


NOTE: I know what the idiom means, but I'm curious about how it originated.

The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985) says "thick as thieves" means "intimate, conspiratorially close." And it also refers to an 1833 quote -- from "The Parson's Daughter" by Theodore E. Hook. "She and my wife are thick as thieves, as the proverb goes."


I need a good spyware program that doesn't allow any backdoors. I have norton internet security but it obviously hasn't blocked all of it cause I still get the same 2 pop ups all the time on different sites that take over my browser and shut down other screens when I exit them. I have windows xp, Norton internet security, and Norton Antivirus, both updated.

I use a combination of Ewido anti-malware, Spybot S&D, and AdAware personal.  These can all be downloaded from www.majorgeeks.com.  I also use Google's toolbar - very excellent pop-up blocker.  Download it by going to www.google.com, clicking More, and choosing it from the list.


I have drumsticks, but no drums.  I drum my table with them.  It's weird.

Just get a bunch of pots and pans and beat the crap out of that stuff.  It's great fun, and can help to really annoy your roommate.


and are they tolerant of any other religions?

Technically, fundamentalists exist in all religions. \n\nIt simply means those who consider themselves as getting back to basics (the fundamentals) of their religion.\n\nTolerance of others -- very individual and depends on each person.  There is no way to attach tolerance or intolerance to such a broad spectrum of persons.


say like the common areas between all the interstates that run thru this country

No i think mass transit was correct what would you call planes.Anyway Germans got it down to a reality.We on the other hand are just gluttons


I am a nures aid I make pretty good money but I need more. I haven't been to school in 8 yrs and I have a 5 yr old. My friend is a nurses aid as well but she goes to their house and make more money than I do. The ? is should I stay at my job that I love and pick up hours working at people houses or should I say the hell with it and go to school to be a nurse and keep my hours the same??

I think if you have the opportunity you really should go back to school.  It will totally be worth it in the end, I promise.


Is there any natural ways to be able to cure or to control environmental allergies?

www.naet.com That technique cured my kids' allergies


Heck, yes!\n\nTamora Pierce is my absolute favorite.  She writes fantasy, but there's lots of good romance in them.  Maybe start with the Circle of Magic series.\n\nJohn Marsden's "Tomorrow, When the War Began" is a great action/thriller.  Takes place in Australia with a group of teens who are out camping while Japan invades and takes over the country.  They return to find their houses burnt and parents missing, and turn into a renegade group.\n\nTerry Pratchett is a great humor writer, and he's got a couple of teen books.  "The Wee Free Men" was his first.  It's also fantasy, about a girl on a farm in England who suddenly discovers she's a witch and has the local little blue men thinking she's their savior.\n\nIf you can find them, Morris Gleitzman wrote books called, "Misery Guts" and "Worry Warts" about a teenage boy who is convinced his parents are about to get divorced, so he takes it upon himself to cheer them up.  Hilarious.\n\nKevin Henkes is good...\n\nThe Louise Rennison books are good ("Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging") but a little heavy on the British words.\n\nThere aren't many good mystery books for teens, but Carl Hiassen wrote a couple.  He usually writes adult mysteries, and he's really funny.  He's the one who wrote "Hoot" that's coming out as a movie soon.\n\nIf you haven't read Holes, read it!  That was incredibly funny, and much better than the movie.\n\nThe "Samurai Girl" series is ok, too.  Romance and adventure, and the heroine is training to be a ninja!  A little bit of mystery, too.


Why is it OK to criticize and ridicule Nazis, or Communist ideology, but not a religious ideology?\n\nI have learned that TabooBuster was kicked out because some Muslims felt offended when their prophet was exposed.\nThe question is will they also suspend a user who criticizes Hitler?\nNazis are also very ideological and can easily be offended. Why do the hurt feelings of Muslims count but not the hurt feelings of Nazis?\nMany Nazis were good people, too. They believed in their country and wanted to do good. It was not their fault that they happened to be born in Germany at that time. And that they were brought up in Hitler Youth. Most people under such conditions would have grown to be a fanatical Nazi.\nSo why is Yahoo protecting Muslims? Is it because they are more powerful and scarier?

Interesting question.\n\nWhat I find strange is that people can blaspheme "Jesus" in books, films, TV, etc.  \n\nBut no-one ever blasphemes "Mohammad" on these mediums and if they did they'd get a kicking.  Seems a bit unfair to me, especially since Christians believe Jesus was on a par with God the Father and Mohammad is just believed to be Allah's sacred prophet (but not on par with God).\n\nAlso in the UK, we bend over backwards to allow Muslim to have their own schools, information in their language, rights to wear their attire in workplaces.  Whereas people who become christians in some muslim countries (eg Saudia Arabia) are denied jobs or imprisoned or tortured (see Open Doors website http://sb.od.org)\n\nIs it simply that Muslims are more intolerant whereas Christians forgive?\n\nPlease don't get me wrong - we should respect each others beliefs (even if we don't agree) - but there must be equality!


Who would you vote for in the next election; Laura Bush, Hilary Rodham Clinton, John Kerry, or Al Sharpton. Please don't add some random guy you know, or say some shyt like "me".

Skinny dipping is usually something a boy does with his girlfriend( if he can convince her ) then he brags to all his friends about it, then she finds out and gets pissed at him for a couple weeks, then they go skinny dipping again.


A couple of questions about you and your mate.\n\nQuestion One: How did you and your bf, gf, wife or husband meet?\n\nQuestion Two: How did you know at that time they where the one for you?\n\nQuestion Three: Do you still feel the same way about them as the first time you told them I love you and ment it?

I met my man in high school 15 years ago.    I knew he was right for me cause he's always treated me like a queen and it has never changed.  Yes, I fall in love with him again each morning when we wake up in each others arms.  He's a Keeper.


My firefox toolbar doesn't show the web site address/url.  It shows a blank space.  Any ideas on how to fix it?\n\nI've already tried reinstalling it and the only way it temporarily works is to pull the bar out and put it in, but the url disappears again after a while.

Follow the steps at http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#new and create a new Firefox profile.  Copy your bookmarks.html file from your old profile directory to your new profile directory.  Only install extensions you actually use into your new profile.  Voila - Firefox works again.\n\nIf you're still having problems, one of your extensions is misbehaving.  Start removing them one by one until the problem goes away, then email the author of that extension.


For those of you that appreciate the Bush administration, why is it that you think there is so much change going on in the White House staff?  Scott McClellan is resigning, Rove is decreasing his duties...I know its normal for staff to change at the end of terms...its a stressful place to be, but why so much now?  I support Bush, and his efforts as President, just wondering if it's just politics, or something else?  I don't remember what happened in Clinton era???

Typical of all administrations. Actually Bush has had statistically a longer running cabinet then most overall. Check out Clinton's turnove rate........very very very very high.\n\nSeveral Clinton Cabinet members did not even make it through the first term (Espy and Cisneros resigned in 1996 and both faced criminal investigations over the next few years) and one died while conducting an overseas trip on department business (Ron Brown). A few simply decided that four years was enough and asked not to be reappointed when Clinton began his second term in 1997.\n\nOnly four out of the 14 Cabinet members served through both Clinton terms (Reno, Riley, Shalala, and Babbit) and only Shalala seemed to avoid massive criticism.


Can they be justified on non-paternalistic grounds such as the protection of the interests of others?

I would like to first address the use of the term marriage in relationship to same-sex unions. Marriage is a religious definition in use for four or more thousand years to signify the union of a man and woman for the purpose of procreating and maintaining a long term relationship to raise the children of this union. It is also necessary to have this union to exist within a community. Marriage has at its' heart the goal of extending ones' heritage and history. \n\nThe Old Testament of the Bible which is the basis for Jewish Religion, combined with the New Testament which is the basis for Christianity and is a revered book of Islam support this  definition. With this in mind, same-sex unions do not fit the definition for marriage.\n\nNow laws that forbid same-sex unions have been in effect for this same period of time. The reasoning for this is that they do not serve  needs of the community and are viewed as deviant behavior in nearly all cultures that exist today.\n\nOnly in cultures that place the needs of the individual higher than the needs of the community, is there a tendency for homosexuality and same-sex unions to be allowed.\n\nLaws forbidding these unions exist in matriarchial societies as well as patriachial societies. Other reasons given for laws governing marriage and sexual behavior are to maintain the health of individuals within the community. Another reason given is that this behavior does not follow within the norm for the behavior for a culture.

I mean For the Size of the USA.\nSurley its big enough for everyone.\nHelp me understand the threat.

Read the following facts and you will understand the threat.\n\nApril 26, 2006\n\nhttp://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_3751199\n\nLos Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich said Tuesday that he will tell Congress that close to 100,000 children of illegal immigrants in the county collect $276 million in annual welfare benefits.\n\nAntonovich, who is in Washington with the Board of Supervisors, will meet with congressional representatives and provide information about the impact of illegal immigration on county services. \n\nAntonovich said 98,703 children of 57,458 undocumented parents received Cal-WORKS welfare checks in January, or a total of 156,161 recipients. \n\n\nFrom the  Los Angeles Times. \n\n1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. \n\n2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. \n\n3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. \n\n4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers. \n\n5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. \n\n6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. \n\n7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.\n\n8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. \n\n9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.\n\n10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).\n\n\nFrom the Center for Immigration Studies \n\nLess than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare. \n\nOver 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. \n\nThe cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University]. \n\nThe lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE \n\n29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.


I want to eventually get into nursing or medical assistant.\n\nI need to look up all the different kinds of positions so I can decide which one I most desire, and what kind of schooling I need. So far I know there are MA ( medical assistant ) LPN ( Licensed P ?? Nurse??) and RN ( registered nurse ) . If anyone has a list and what they are that would rock.. or any additional information is greatly appreciated.

Ahwww... do I have a great reference web site for you!!!! Everything is nicely explained at the web site I will give you at the very bottom of this post (plus suggested schools). But first....\n=======================================\n\nYou are right. There is the MA (medical assistant), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and RN (Registered Nurse) with many more interesting health careers to go... from phlebotomist, to medical billing and coding specialist, to medical illustrator, to translator. \n\nMedical assisting is best described as interesting, challenging, and highly rewarding. In addtition there are many other related allied health professions that medical assistants may find attractive and worth taking a closer look into. \n\nMany experienced medical assisatant elect to crosstrain or transition into these related fields they move on and up the career ladder. Some of them may combine their practical knowledge with their creative skills and become a medical illustrator, freelance copywriter and author, or educator. Others may apply their talents in areas such as medical transcription, medical coding and billing, phlebotomy, or as medical translators.


Why is it that there is a category for darts, and like fifteen for football, but NONE for the FIRST American sport? Any lax players agree?

Cricket, darts, and curling are very popular sports in areas outside the USA.  Yahoo Answers does have an international audience, so I see why these are listed individually.\nI guess that Yahoo can't put all of the sports in their own category.\nLacrosse would probably need to have quite a few questions being asked, or have a national/worldwide craze to get its own category.\nI love the sport - wish I grew up in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast area so I could have played in high school.


Americans are not only prejudiced and arrogant to foreigners, but they are also against each other for example black and white.  Why do prejudism and discrimination still exist in America?

Discrimination exists all over the world. Don't be so naive to think it just happens in America.


I do not think anybody knows what the word ILLEGAL means!!!

The word "illegal" indicates the person committed an act against the law. Usually, punishment such as prison and fines are the penalties for committing a crime, but apprently some people feel that illegal immigration should take exception. Illegal immigration should be PUNISHED, not rewarded.\n\nTo answ3r3r: Illegal immigration has NO comparison to the civil rights movement. Rosa Parks was a CITIZEN fighting for equality. The immigration protests are demanding PREFERENTIAL treatment.


I would suggest trying some glove conditioner to help soften the pocket.  You'll also need to play catch a lot, and try using a "glove sock" or some heavy rubber bands wrapped around the glove while keeping a baseball in the pocket when you're not using it.


this is not necessarily about music....\n\nBut, I once heard a recording of Rachmaninov playing his own compositions.  \n\nYou really should have been there.  \n\n(I wish I wasn't so generous - I gave it to a girlfriend.)

Definitely the humming of the refridgerator.  When I first heard it, I instantly fell in love...I would come home from work and run to the kitchen instead of my wife.  It cost me my marriage, but I just don't care.  My kids hate me, but it doesn't matter!  I'm gonna spend every available second next to that refridgerator until the day I die!

lost my two shrimp boats to hurricans dennis and katerina..no help from fema or sba..is any help out there for a person to get back to work..

Are you a veteran? \n\nAre you Disabled? \n\nMany agencies go through the Red Cross, Salvation Army, March of Dimes etc..and some companies have their own charity agencies....so the best thing to do would be to go see your state governor for assistance...but in your state [and case in point] does not appear to be of any help to anyone much less itself....[sadly], thus far. \n\nSo I would suggest that you next hit the Internet...make it your best friend...and start searching for organizations that donate, assist or fund causes....many now do Katerina and Rita victims first...\n\nI do know that each state [but then again your state is not much help right now so] has their own Hurricane victims hot lines and contact sites...so in your case I normally would have suggested you go to the next state unaffected by the hurricanes...but considering that many of the victims went to neighboring states, those states are most likely tapped out financially too.\n\nSo...again the Internet will be your best bet. \n\nSearch through MAJOR company websites or home pages like Dell computers, or Eli Lilly, Bayer or Ford, Dodge, Chrysler etc...major names and check if they have a fund or personal agency that they assist and fund to assist victims of natural disasters.\n\nIf you don't see anything that doesn't always mean that they don't have any, just that they don't advertize it for obvious reasons...so then what you do is you...e-mail them through their "contact us' option and simply ask them...\n\nGenerally they will tell you if they do or not, and if not they will direct you to who can and who does and tell you how to contact them....\n\nSo again search the Internet...and Good Luck.

Find ways to incorporate motion into your studying (writing, flashcards, etc.).\n\nGet a board game like trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc., make new cards with the information you need to learn, and play the game, drawing one card each turn and answering it before you get to move your piece.\n\nTo memorize lists, go get a basketball, and bounce the ball. For each bounce, say one item on your list.\n\nTo remember and analyze overall concepts, find a way to apply them around your house (especially for science). For social studies, find something you can do that is close to what the historical figures did (but safer), and do it while thinking about them.


My taxes were rejected beacuse my mother added me as her dependant when im not. So now my mother may have to pay back the money she recieved for having me on her taxes. I'm enrolling in summer classes to get caught up on my hours and I need my financial aid before I enroll.

If you file the FASFA, there is a selection that states "have not filed yet" or something to that nature.  I usually file for financial aid before I do my taxes and it works out, even without knowing my tax information.  So filing your taxes is not a necessary prerequisite to filing your financial aid.  Your school, however, may ask for copies of your taxes when you finally do file.

At the age of 50 years how many time I can have sex with my wife? She and me don't have any health problem so far. I am having blood pressure slighly and using a tablet daily and is controlled. More over I am doing my regular excercise and keeping the diet. At present we have weekly two, with excitement. If it is more the excitement will be less.\nPlease give your real suggestions.

The fact that you can still get up to the plate at 50 is pretty good, most men forgot about it a long time ago. I guess if it doesn't interfere with your life you can have sex as often as you are capable of it. I find as you get older it takes a lot of energy out of you, then i find myself walking around tired all the time. i try to limit the time and try to only do it every 2 days or so.

Seriously I watch this movie then I see the same guy in "In The Name Of The Father ", was the whole crippled act a sham to garner sympathy with the academmy for his wooden lackluster performance.\nHe could barely enunciate. I am horrified he would do this.

I think it is a cheap ploy to get an award by playing a cripple because then they have to give the prize to him or they will get sued by the Handicapped Association of America for being prejudiced against cripples.

sometimes when i use the computer for different (random?) programs (winamp, firefox, windows defender, etc.) my floppy drive activates even though theres no floppy inside, whats wrong with my comp?

You can disable the floppy drive in the bios if you don't use it. It is probably because the floppy is set up as a primary boot device. I have only known the annoying random floppy thing to happen in older computers. I ahve a floppy/card reader combo on my computer now and it never does that.


iam an overweight person and want to loose wiight.i have joined gym for that,is it ok.

Yes. In fact building muscle mass is a great way of losing weight. For every pound of muscle mass added your body will take an extra 300 cal to support that muscle mass. Of course you should also incorporate some cardio for stamina building.

Another bulletproof man killed by hatred. Shocking

By Kevin Osborne, Post staff reporter\n\n\n\nFollowing through on a warning issued a month ago, Mayor Charlie Luken imposed sanctions against a local activist Wednesday and prevented him from speaking at Cincinnati City Council's regular meeting.\n\nThe activist, Lincoln Heights resident Kabaka Oba, routinely uses ethnic and racial slurs in his remarks during City Council's public comment period that are inappropriate, Luken said. Among the remarks are Oba's repeated use of the phrases, ''Jew-nited Snakes of America'' and ''white devils.''\n\n''I have warned him a half-dozen times. I have no choice,'' the mayor said. ''I have to retain some control over these meetings and this is unacceptable behavior. ''\n\nLuken sent a memorandum to City Council members Monday, informing them that he planned to prohibit Oba from speaking at this week's meeting, unless someone objected. No one did.\n\nMaybe thats why he's dead.


Whenever i go into the hospital to visit someone, i get really sick. My eyes start to black out some, I feel dizzy, and it feels as if i were going to throw up. It's really annoying. Why does this happen? Is there anything I can do to help myself?

You could be alergic to the things hospitals use to clean everything.  This could be a psychological reaction to being in a hospital.  Did you ever have a bad experience tied to a hospital?  It didn't have to happen there, just tied to a hospital.  An older relative go in and not come out?  Something like that.\n\nIf it is alergies, I'm not sure.  If it is psychological, well there is plenty you can do but it would take too long to explain it.  Gosh, I'm just a ton of help, aren't I.  Actually, if you think it was from a bad experience, you can email me, I can walk you through something fairly simple that might just do the trick.

He died in a car crash out of state. I've been in therapy, on medication, exercised, prayed and I still sometimes cry and can't stop eating.

Breast cancer, which is highly treatable by surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, is most often curable when detected in early stages. Mammography is the most important screening modality for the early detection of breast cancer. Breast magnetic resonance imaging is under study as a diagnostic tool. 1 Prognosis and selection of therapy are influenced by the age of the patient, 2 stage of the disease, pathologic characteristics of the primary tumor including the presence of tumor necrosis, 3 estrogen-receptor (ER) and progesterone-receptor (PR) levels in the tumor tissue, 4 and measures of proliferative capacity, as well as by menopausal status and general health. Since criteria of menopausal status vary widely, age older than 50 years can be substituted as a definition of the postmenopausal state. Overweight patients may have a poorer prognosis. 5 Prognosis may also vary by race, with blacks, and to a lesser extent Hispanics, having a poorer prognosis than whites. 6,7 Breast cancer is classified into a variety of cell types, but only a few of these affect prognosis or selection of therapy. Rarely, the breast may be involved by other tumors such as melanoma, lymphoma, or sarcoma.

Corey Haim was a 80's teen idol,starred in Lost boys,Dream a little dream,

Hey, I loved him when I was 13, many moons ago! Thanks for the memory spark


I cant seem to get my new seagate barracuda hard drive to boot up.  It starts up and counts the memory breifly then gives me that error.  i am not sure if that is exactly what it sais. something like that. anyone got any ideas?

I suppose this is a second hard drive you just have installed. If the drive is hooked on the same cable like the first drive, check the jumper on the disk. It should be set to slave.\nYou have 2 opportunities:\n1. Set the jumper on the 1st drive (the drive where the OS is installed) to master, and the jumper of the 2nd drive (the new one) to slave.\n2. If you have a ribbon cable with a black and a grey jack, connect the black jack with the 1st drive and the grey jack with the 2nd drive. When doing so, you can set the jumpers on both disks to "cable select" or otherwise also to master and slave like described under 1.\n\nIf the drive is connected to another cable, the jumper have to be set to master.


If you have an answer can u plz quote where u got it from like a website or ssumting like that. Thank You

why do we do daylight savings time? does japan do it? does everyone in the world set their clocks forwar? when did we start doing daylight savings time? is the t.v programming going to do the time thing too?

There is a very common myth that it has something to do with farmers, but it is actually and energy conservation measure.  The whole idea was originally a big joke made by Benjamin Franklin.  Not all States in the Union do DST, nor do all Counties in every State.\n\nInterestingly enough, in these days of ubiquitous air conditioning, there may be no cost savings in lighting as was originally intended.\n\nThe reality is that the "Spring Forward" portion of DST causes additional traffic fatalities.  It is a dangerous practice that is continued thanks to governmental inertia and constituent apathy.


Yes there are, because sex shouldn't be the end all and be all in a relationship.  Plus it's 2006 we have the technology to ummmmm..... substitute for sex :p


there are over 12,000,000 illegal immigrants. all of them make at least 12,000 per year, which means they would owe 15% income tax yearly, which equates to be $2,008.50 every year. You multiply this by 12,000,000 and get over 24 BILLION DOLLARS. and nobody seems to care.

Yea (To The ASKER) I Hate IGNORANCE Too\n\nThis Part Of My Answer Goes Out To BRAD_J(Above)\n\nthere are jobs Americans simply won't do, so that the importation of foreigners is essential. Whether these foreign workers are ILLEGAL ALIENS,  guestworkers, or permanent Legal Immigrants is a detail to be worked out by us, the argument goes, but our need for them is unchanged.Even many opponents of the proposed Bush Amnesty assume this to be true, leading them to propose new and improved guestworker programs, with provisions for stricter controls against Permanent Settlement, greater incentives to return, tighter enforcement against Unscrupulous Employers, etc. As well-meaning as such efforts may be, the basic assumption is false — \n\nIf Congress were to pass a law that said, quite simply, that the CEO of any business that was caught employing ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS went to jail for a year - NO EXCEPTIONS - then within a month there would be ten million (more or less) people lined up at the Mexican border trying to get out of the United States. The US unemployment rate would drop close to zero, and wages would begin to rise. The American middle class would begin to return to viability, as would the union movement in this nation.\n\nThere is simply no economic reason to import FOREIGN Workers.If the supply of FOREIGN Workers were to dry up (say, through actually ENFORCING the immigration law, for starters), employers would respond to this new, tighter, labor market in two ways. \n\n1: One, they would offer HIGHER Wages, INCREASED Benefits, and Improved Working Conditions, so as to recruit and retain people from the remaining pool of workers.\n\n2:At the same time, the same employers would look for ways to eliminate some of the jobs they now are having trouble filling. The result would be a NEW Equilibrium, with Blue-Collar Workers making somewhat Better Money, but each one of those workers being more productive.\n\nMany people fear the first part of such a response, claiming that prices for fruits and vegetables would skyrocket, fueling inflation..NOT TRUE..Labor accounts for only about ten percent of the retail price of a head of lettuce,  so even doubling the wages of pickers would have little noticeable effect on consumers.\n\nSeveral people told me they used to do the "jobs Americans won't do" until local employers figured out they could get ILLEGAL Aliens to work for less than half the same amount. As an example, a young landscaper who used to make $15 an hour 10 years ago, can't get a similar job now for more than $8 an hour. Same heat. Same difficult working conditions.  But with the Depressed Wage, AMERICANS – who live in a country where the cost of living is miles above that of Mexico's – can't afford to take such jobs.It's not that he and other Americans don't want to do landscaping anymore; it's just that in heavily trafficked ILLEGAL Alien environments, IT DOESNT PAY WELL ENOUGH ANYMORE.\n\n Younger U.S.-born high school graduates are squeezed at both ends. Jobs that would have gone to them in the past are now being grabbed by college graduates. The lowest-wage jobs are unappealing, and employers will not raise wages as long as ILLEGAL Immigrants will take them.\n\nIf this is what the open borders crowd means by ILLEGAL ALIENS doing jobs Americans don't want, they're right. American workers want jobs that can Earn them a DECENT LIVING in this country. Minimum wage is a fortune south of the border, but it doesn't go far here. \n***************************\n\nBack To The ASKERS Question---\n\n\nLets Get The Numbers Straight AND Ill Throw In A Few OTHER Facts For You TOO(For All You Bush Crime Family Lovers)\n\nThe BUSH Crime Family Administration Couldn't Have Done A Better Job \nOf Turning Iraq Into America's Most Expensive And  Dangerous Enemy If It Had Genuinely Had That As Its Goal. . . .\n\n\nAmount appropriated by the US Congress for Opereations In Iraq


This question should not be answered until the week of the world cup.  Lehman and Kahn are both great goalkeeps and it would benefit the German team if both players competed for the spot all the way until the start of the world cup.  I beleive Klinsman made a mistake in announcing that Lehman would be the starter in June.  What if he gets hurt from here until then.  Also, why would Lehman challenge himself already knowing he has won the position.  For me Kahn has the experience and Lehman is probably playing better right now.  Take your pick, but it doesn't matter cuz Germany has no chance!  They have a good team but not a great team to win the tournament.


I am interested in starting an underground radio station online.  I need to know how to go about doing this.

You need to go about getting liscenced by the major record labels (which can be quite expensive, as I am currently going thru this), or use a site like live365 (last source cited) which offers a bundle pack that does it automatically. \n\nIt really depends on your budget and level of internet expertise. You can do it pretty cheap, though.


The reason I ask is because we recently celebrated April Fools Day" in my little berg.\nMy neighbour "Artie" has "downs syndrome", through no fault of his own, no that was gods punishment for his mothers wanton ways. He's not a bad guy, "Artie", sure he talks a little funny and looks a little freaky, I am used to him and he to me.\nAnyways he was at the park the other day, April fools day. I thought it would be funny to phone the police and say he was either drunk or drugs and was scaring my kids.\nHow could I have anticipated how badly Artie would react to a taser and pepper spray.\nAnyways to make a long story short, people have been bugging on me about this. Saying it was not funny, saying it was explotive and in the case of the police, saying it was criminal.\nAnyways "Artie" is home now. \nI am going to make things up to him and write him  a personal ad. Does anyone know what they call one of those guys that operates on brains. I am giving Artie a profession.

taht is awesome.  not only do you have a good sense of humour and are including retardie in your fun, but your helping him contribute to society in a meaningful way.


What is the normal batting average for a 10 year old girl playing fastpitch softball?

First of all you must understand What is meant by the number "600". It meant that for every 10 tines at bat you were able to hit the ball safely 6 times with out benefit of the other teams mistakes or walks by the pitcher. Therefore a 300 hitter is out 7 out of 10 times. Batting 300 on a continual basis is exceptional. While 600 is possible it's extremely rare. On base average on the other hand is more likely to be 600 with a good player because walks count and good batters take walks.


Home Treatment\n\nHome treatment with nonprescription medications can usually get rid of lice. These products include:\n\nNix (permethrin 1% creme rinse). \nRid, Pronto, A-200, R&C, Triple X, or Barc (shampoos and gels with pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide). \nA new type of hair sealant that kills head lice by suffocating them is currently under medical review.\n\nIf nonprescription methods are not effective, a stronger medication may be needed. Your health professional may prescribe a more concentrated (5% instead of 1% nonprescription) form of permethrin (Elimite), malathion lotion, or shampoos containing pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide.\n\nCurrent research suggests that combing your hair frequently in an attempt to remove lice and their eggs (nits) is not an effective form of treatment. 3 Preferred treatment is to use a lotion or shampoo to kill the nits as well as the lice. You may choose to remove the nits through combing to improve your appearance, but it is not helpful in stopping the spread of lice. Cleaning combs, brushes, clothing, and other objects can help prevent lice from spreading to other members of your household.\n\nMedications\n\nBoth nonprescription medications and prescription products are available to treat head and pubic lice. Most products come as a shampoo, creme rinse, or lotion (topical treatment) that is applied to the affected areas, left on for a period of time, and then rinsed off. A prescription pill (ivermectin) is sometimes used to treat lice when two or more approved topical medications have not been effective.\n\nA new type of hair sealant that kills head lice by suffocating them is currently under medical review. 4 \n\nPermethrin 1% creme rinse (such as Nix) is also a common first method of treating lice because it is safe and effective and continues to kill lice and their eggs (nits) even after the cream has been rinsed off. This product is available without a prescription.\n\nWhen treating lice with medication, keep in mind:\n\nA second treatment 7 to 10 days after the first treatment is usually recommended to ensure that any lice that have hatched from eggs are also killed. Two treatments are also recommended for pubic lice. \nItching may persist even after successful treatment. Do not reapply medicated products unless you are advised to do so by a doctor. Excess use of these products may increase the risk of negative side effects such as nausea, headaches, or more serious side effects. \nIf lice infest the eyelashes, petroleum jelly can be applied to the eyelashes several times a day for a week to kill the lice.\n\nGenerally, drugs are not needed to treat body lice—since the lice live in clothing, not on the body—unless the person is severely infested. Body lice are usually treated by washing clothing and bedding in hot water [130° (54.44°) or greater] in an automatic washing machine.\n\nMedication Choices\n\nNonprescription products for head and pubic lice\n\nPermethrin creme rinse (Nix) is a common first choice for treating head lice. It kills lice and their eggs (nits) for 2 weeks or more after it has been rinsed off. \nShampoos containing pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide (Pronto, Rid, A-200) are left on the hair for 10 minutes and then rinsed out. A second treatment is needed 1 week after the first to kill newly hatched lice. \nA new type of hair sealant that kills head lice by suffocating them is currently under medical review. 4 \n\nPrescription products for head and pubic lice\n\nPermethrin cream (Elimite) is a cream that is applied to the skin or scalp and left on for 8 to 14 hours. \nMalathion lotion (Ovide) is applied to hair and left on for 8 to 12 hours before rinsing off. A second treatment must be done 7 to 9 days later if lice are still present. \nLindane (Kwell, G-Well) is used as a lotion or a shampoo. It should only be used when other products fail to get rid of lice or when a person cannot use any of the other products. The shampoo may be used to treat head


My best friend who I have known for over 10 years, has recently come back to australia since being overseas for two years.I know that as we get older we all change alittle in ourselves. And although i still love her and get along with her i have found that she has changed quite a bit, sometimes we run out of things to talk. And to be honest i'm really tired of hearing her talk about herself and where she has been and blah blah!!! I have hardly seen her since she has come back and she is again moving on in 4 weeks to live in Canada. Should I feel guilty for not making more of an effort to spend time with her??

Don't feel guilty... she's the one leaving you remember... Just move on, if she really loves you or even likes you she will come to you. And find someone else to love or to hang out with, not someone that goes in and out of your life like nothing.


The list can be in the form of "ALUMNI" or a book of old students, or a "site" (F.C. College site is not opening.)

if u need that go to the college office and ask for records


The scripture states something along the lines ... God determines the places we live.  The verse may say "homes we live in."\n\nI've searched and searched but can't find the scripture verse I'm looking for.\n\nThanks!!

In the work I do its normal to get angry customers and it is usually no big deal I know they are just mad and blowing off steam.  But today this lady was saying terrible things for like 15 minutes and it really got to me.  She wanted my name and I did mispell it purposely which I shouldn't have bc I would not have gotten in trouble now Im afraid I will get in trouble. Anyways I just can't shake it off...I still got tears in my eyes. Any advice to get over it :?

Go home and have a drink. Tomorrow, explain to your boss that she was threatening you an you felt if you gave her your real name you might be putting yourself in danger.

why are people so scared to tell there parents they are dating someone of another ethnic origin. the only person that should care is the one that is going to want to spend the rest of there life with them. we all bleed the same color and we should all be treated with the same respect. i understand some people are born into a racist family, i was but that is know excuse you have your own mind and no one should tell you how to live your life but you, because your the one living it. and noone is going to be in your back pocket for the rest of your life.

because we want to make our parents happy


I have a date tonight, until recently I've been in a serious relationship for a couple of years so haven't been on a date with someone new in a while! What are the nervous butterflies you get in your stomach and are they helpful? :)

nerves are always a good thing, and it shows your keen and it means you make an effort.


There's this guy and he's perfects, he's funny smart and handsome. I've already told him how I feel and he feels just a little for me the same way. But I don't know if we should go out of our friendship and start dating or if we should just stay friends.

Give him a chance.  Just go slow at first.  Have fun and sees if there's any romantic chemistry.  You'll know as soon as it becomes a date if there's a spark or not.  Good luck!


One testicular is larger than the other please tell me is it the left or the right???\n\nAnd which one hangs lower than the other???

One easy way to remember, LL, left is lower.  It is the way we are made so whenever we cross our legs they do not get scrunched.  Also it is common that one is slightly larger than the other, the key is the word slightly.  Today it is getting easier and more comfortable for us guys to simply ask these kinds of questions of a doctor.  You are on the right track simply because you are aware and using appropriate terminology.  Hang in there! (smile)


My husband and I + one couple of good friends are going to berlin to see the mundial (my argentinian husband is a soccer freak). We are jewish and i thought i´d never lay a foot on german soil. now the trip is made (tickets, hotel, entry tickets...) and i still feel this is not a right thing to do. of course i´m glad about going on the trip especialy knowing my husbands fascination for the soccer game. how can i calm my conscience?

take the opportunity to pay tribute and your respects to the Jews that have suffered at the hand of the Nazi's. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what happened. and for something very personal I would take a lock of hair or something personal and very small and leave it in a place that you visit so you can feel that you were one with the Jews were put through that horror. I will be praying you will have a better feeling about this trip and if all else fails pray about it.\nHugs


I will be doing my GCSEs this summer, and Ive started revising already, however it gets boring very quickly, so does anybody know any revision tips?

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.

failure in interviews and still to face many in near furure.

Make a list of all of your accomplishments and review it before every interview. This will help remind you that you have plenty of good qualities, and help you keep calm so you will do better in the interviews. As the interviews go better, you will be more relaxed about them.

Is the old Cann slew Able thing where Cannn's punishment was to be made black ?

They do now, that doctorine wasn't recinded until 1978 though. \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacks_and_Mormonism\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/blacks-and-mormonism\nMormonism's Racist Theology\nA dirty secret that can't be covered up \n\nIntroduction\n\nMormon theology teaches that that Cain and his descendants were placed under a curse, namely, black skin, a curse that prevented almost all of Cain's descendants from being allowed entry into the Mormon priesthood. Not until 1978,in a declaration entitled "Official Declaration 2", did the Mormon church finally relent, and allowed blacks into their priesthood. \n\nMormons believe the Cainites survived the Flood because Noah's son Ham married a Cainite (allegedly). Those who are descended for this couple are Cainites and are under the "curse" of black skin, according to Mormon theology. This doctrine has been the basis of the racist exclusion of blacks from the Mormon priesthood until as late as 1978. \n\n\nSo how do Mormons try to get out of this racist charge? \n\nWell, they sometimes claim a descendant of Ham could technically be any skin color, not just black. However, the reference to dark skin in the LDS scriptures and leaders's speeches rules out this escape hatch. LDS apologists may also try to point to such ethnic groups as the aborigines of Australia, dark-skinned people who were never under the ban. However, this is simply irrelevant. Africans and African-Americans were considered inferior people up until 1978, and the Mormon church has to answer for it. \n\nNow let's look at some of the details. \n\n\n\n\n\nRacism in the Book of Mormon\n1 Nephi 12:23 \n"And I beheld, after they had dwindled in unbelief they became a dark and loathsome and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations."\n1 Nephi 13:15 \n". . . and I beheld that they were white, and exceedingly fair and beautiful . . ."\n2 Nephi 5:21 \n"And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them."\n2 Nephi 30:6 \n". . . a white and delightsome people."\nThis is the reading of Joseph Smith's original 1830 edition. Smith changed the wording "white" to "pure" in the 1840 printing, though until 1982 the word "white" was again in use. \n\n3 Nephi 2:14-15 \n"And it came to pass that those Lamanites who had united with the Nephites were numbered among the Nephites; and their curse was taken from them, and their skin became white like unto the Nephites. And their young men and their daughters became exceeding fair.."\nAccording to LDS theology, the Lamanites are the ancestors of the American Indians. In the verses above we see the unbelievable LDS teaching that the skin of the Lamanites would turn white upon conversion! \n\nJacob 3:8-9 \n"O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours, when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God. Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, which is the word of God, that ye revile no more against them because of the darkness of their skins "\nThese racist verses persist to this day, though, as mentoned, the word "white" has been replaced with "pure". \n\nAs recently as 1960, we read Spencer W. Kimball, later 12th President of the Mormon church, commenting on the Native American Indians as folows: \n\n"I saw a striking contrast in the progress of the Indian people today as against that of only fifteen years ago. Truly the scales of darkness aref allign from their eyes, and they are fast becoming a white and delight


i ve been friends with 3 girls since primary school.we were the four of us until high school.now that we all study in different universities our relationships are not that good.they frequently show me how jealous they are because my university is one of the best in my country and i cant stand that.plus they frequently ask me to go out with them when the three of them are already out or the last minute like 10 minutes before to go at a plce half an hour from my house.yesterday one of them called me to tell me we were gonna go out.the 4 of ous and our boyfriends.i said ok, text me when you decide time and place.time passed and i called to see where they were.they had already gonne out and they had forgotten to text me.i am pretty pissed of at the moment and one of them just called to say they are going to play pool near my place and if i wanna go.i dont.they ask me y?what should i respond and how should i deal with the hole thing.we recently had a fight about it but nothing good happened

Yeah...these things happen a lot between friends...\nOne real friends shouldn't be jealous of one another because their college is better.\nTwo friends shouldn't ditch eachother like that... Three:Friends shouldn't forget eachother!\nAbout going to play pool...it's ok 2 reject it. I know that the last thing we want to happen between friends is fighting...I actually was in a fight with my bestfriend, but she said she didn't want to be my friend anymore but i was really sad....At first she started ignoring me a little bit..then a lot...so i decided to ask her what's wrong...then she told me\nthe reasons..i thought those reasons were not even worth to lose a friend. But it was her opinion so i had to go with the flow..her parents adored me very much and loved me like a daughter and when they found out we weren't friends anymore they were so sad....so we didn't talk to eachother 4 about 2 weeks or so...those were the 2 longest week of my life...then one day she couldn't take it anymore and she felt\n so guilty...she decided to say sorry and asked if i wanted to be friends again...i accepted her apology and it was great 2 be friends again...But unfortunaely she moved to Georgia now and i miss her very much...we still stay in contact, but not much...\nJust talk 2 them and tell them about the times they ditched u and ask them How they would feel if someone did that 2 them....I wish the best for u and ur friends!!


It's difficult to differentiate between those for whom English is a second language and those who simply cannot spell. I admire anyone who gives it their best shot. What I find more bothersome is the use of "chat speak". I admit that I am guilty of throwing in the old "lol" from time to time, but when I see so many people using an abbreviated version of the English language, I have to wonder if we haven't just become too lazy to use proper spelling.

Dating a sweet girl and now I feel like I must make a commitment to her because we've had sex and she says she doesn't want to be hurt.

I wanted to answer this only because I appreciated the answer you gave my question.\n\nSo, no one has actually given you a real answer yet. Have you noticed?\n\nYou feel obligated to commit for one reason only: more sex.\n\nHave you noticed almost all the answers you got came from girls, most of them not even mature enough to have any experience of a committed relationship.\n\nGirls say they want a commitment usually AFTER SEX!\n\nWhy is that?\n\ncontrol of you, buddy. She has her own agenda, just like you, two human beings finding out what this part of life is like. \n\nDon't know until you have the experience.\nNo one is wrong in this, she knew what she was getting into when she let you inside her. Otherwise all the responsibility is placed on your head.\nAre you her parent? Are you responsible for her feelings?\n\nMy experience is that only I am responsible for my feelings. I am also responsible for my actions.\nYou sound like you want to be accountable for yourself, so is she willing to be accountable for her actions, too.\n\nBoth of you didn't communicate very well, and that's what people do. We get to learn how to do this stuff the hard way, by doing it. You always have a second chance you do the right thing.\n\nNow, can you be honest with her about what YOU want?\nIs she ready to truely commit?\nWhat is it you want in a relationship?\n\nTry writing this stuff down and ask the men you trust about how to know what is important to you.\n\nGood job.

applied for my green card through marriage (ex serves the government though the military), we got a son together born in the US. Because we got divorced before i got my green card it was denialed, but i filed an appeal based upon my son and the fact that i am in a legal case (major car aciident which is proven not to be my fault). I sthere anyone who can give me advise how long all this might take or what to do?  I am still legal, wokr and pay taxes OFCOURSE. I would like to stay for my sosn sake caus ei believe although his parenst are not together he need both in his life. If i move back to holland i will be unabele to coem back to the US for at leats 10 yrs, so my son will be seperated from his dad forever.

If you're legal than you're fine. If you've got the green card then you're ok. :)
