My boyfriend is into cars, he got into a accident and he is getting a lot of $$$$$$$, i asked him what he was doing with the money and the first thing out of his mouth was I am doing Blah,Blah,Blah, to my car, and then i am going to buy you car engagment ring, Why is it that all car guys (though they are hot, and have NICE cars) are all about there cars. I love my boyfriend a lot but why can't it be about me for once, NOT HIS DAMN CAR :)

Because you have chosen to like the wrong type of guy. The kind of guy you are referring to is very self centered and uses a car as a focal point for his ego.


I am debating a old high school friend on this.  I feel that it is trendy and wrong. She feels that it is genetic andokay because society deals with it....thoughts?

Did you choose to be *straight* because it's trendy?

I recently had a baby and is looking for work but until then I was just wondering if these at home courses you can take for example: Stratford Institute really Help you get a job I want to study to become a paralegal and Stratford institute offers a degree I was just wondering if it was bogus and Ill just be wasting my money?

check to see how they are accredited but most of them aren't and your degree wont be worth the paper its printed on.\n\nmy school is a normal university that will offer some classes online, call your local university and see if they have the same thing.

When I was in school many years ago I wrote and recorded lectures. I'm bridging from Paramedic to RN and I plan on using my Laptop for everything. I can type (and listen while typing) much faster than I can write. I am left handed and was switched several times from L to R to L to R and back to left. I have very poor penmen-ship. I write very slow so I can make it readable and have to concentrate. While doing this I cant listen to what the instructor is saying. Soon I get discouraged and want to give up. I have succeeded because I recognize my handicap and will do what it takes to change, modify and fix the problem. Using a laptop would be a fantastic solution. The first time some old Geezer tells me not to open my laptop in class I will have a few choice words to share!


I am trying to understand all the current events but I slept thru history class. It doestn seem right for us to support the jews with their conflicts. Someone open my eyes and explain things to me. Why dont we americans stick to helping americans here and bud out of everyone elses business

I absolutely agree with your last sentence.  But I think because the U.S. and U.N carved out Israel from Palestine in 1948 after WWII, we are kind of responsible.  But i still think we should mind our own d@mn business


I had this experience and in that dream i was told many true things i didnt otherwise know...

ive had similar experiences, quite often actually.  though the people in my dreams were ghosts, they were not people i had known.\nit sounds like someone is trying to tell u something (if u believe in dreams that is). ive seen ghosts when i was not asleep as well and it seems as though these things happen for a reason, b/c as u know not everyone has the power to see them, and if they choose to be seen it is for a reason, so keep an eye out for anything unusual or anything related to what they tell u in the dreams, maybe there is something u need to know.  \nive talked to a fortune teller once who told me that seeing ghosts in your dreams could be a bad omen, but it could also be because they r trying to contact u and know that if they were to appear to you when u were awake it may disturb u too much, so they choose this less confronting medium to contact you.\nyou decide, just think about it and what possible things this could mean. this could be a very interesting experience for you.\ngood luck


My question is simple, what city is the oldest on earth?

It is generally supposed that Damascus, the chief city of Syria, is the oldest city in the world...


Do any of you really care about gay rights? Abortion I guess I can see, but how is someone elses love life interfere or disrupt yours? Do you think Jesus and Moses were white? Do you really believe in God? Why do you want underage atheists to pray in schools? Why dont you attack divorce or alcoholism or abuse or a variety of other factors that actually break down marriage? Why gays? I mean, you march against same-sex marriages and denounce Janet Jackson's boob, but not a peep when Britney got drunk and married in Vegas. Didn't that hurt "the sanctity of marriage" more than two guys in love? Are you all rascist, or just the Klannies? Do you really prefer country to techno? And what's with the Bush thing? And the death penalty? Isn't that against your 10 Commandments to kill people? Why support the Old Testament whenever it conflicts with Jesus? Why not just be Jewish? So confused...


What I mean is, if you take aspects from all of the current religions, things said in movies and books you agree with, and form your own type of personal religion.... would she frown upon that?

God probably wouldn't care as long as you are following the law that he or she put forth in the Scriptures. It's just that over the years Christians have manipulated the meanings of these Scriptures to endorse their bullshit and the way they treat people.


Its not an unusual fetish. BO is the human sex pheramore. But popular advertising has deemed it bad and something in need of covering up. I like a little man essence but generally the smell can get bad.


the universe had to be created by something -right??--but then -who or what created god--another god??-or another universe?? not sure what to believe--it will be a question i will probably carry to my grave--oh yeah its a toughie!!! AND!!-there are so many different gods that people believe in--which one is the true god----would the real god -please stand up!!!! \n\nThat is bobbys answer to my ?, plz answer for him

Nobody created God. God is eternal without beginning or end. Do I understand this, no. \n\nThe only thing we know is that God aquired wisdom in eternity past. \n\nWISDOM SPEAKING\nPro 8:23  I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. \nPro 8:24  When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. \nPro 8:25  Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: \nPro 8:26  While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. \nPro 8:27  When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: \nPro 8:28  When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: \nPro 8:29  When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: \nPro 8:30  Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; \nPro 8:31  Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

I am a nursing student. Today during our first practical clinic experience I had a terrible run in with a Personal support worker, actually with the RPN and RN as well! Is it common to be treated like a second class citizen? Not impressed to say the least. How would you deal with this issue?

Yes! My very first experience in clinicals was at a hospital that was ranked the WORST VA hospital in the country. I now know why. Nurses treated us like we were in their way when actually we took all the "busy" work from them. They just have a routine and I guess students tend to disrupt that. Just use each rotation as your research to help you decide where you want to work (or don't want to work) when you graduate. Know that it's not the nurses that give you the grade. Remember these experiences when you become a nurse (and you will) and have students working with you. I had a FANTASTIC rotation this semester (my 3rd) on a unit where I thought it would be terrible and boring. The nurses were amazing and so appreciative of what we did. As you gain knowledge and experience, you will find that nurses are happier to have you since your scope of practice is larger and it's less work for them. Keep your chin up and remember that no one can treat you badly unless you let them! Report any nurse that is less than accomodating to the hospital and your instructor. We had that happen at the above mentioned "yucky" hospital and our instructor had our back. She quickly informed the nurse that it was a teaching hospital and if she wasn't willing to do so, she should find a non-teaching hospital to work at. Love those instructors!


my vcr comes on by itself things fall off the walland some of my sons toys go off by them self

I don't personally believe in ghosts, so my advice is: before you start panicking, tell your son to stop playing with the vcr, make sure you don't leave things on the shelves too close to the edge, and check the batteries in your son's toys.\n If you've still got problems after that, then... Who you gonna call?... GhostBusters!


For another of my stories.  One of my characters was suspended from school for being falsely accused of breaking the principal's window.  He is suspended for 2 weeks and has already served one.  Is their some sort of retribution?  Or is it simply....Oops sorry for that... your not suspended anymore?

I'm betting all involved just do a big "oopsie" and move on.

I just want to see peoples view on this.

i have heard that they are sellouts but thats stupid just because a person changes doesnt mean they are sell outs it just means their like everyone else in the world,  Their are more side to every person then meets the eye for example I love korn (well their old stuff) but if you looked at me you would think I was a guy who linstens to dance music or something!!  What i am trying to get at is the fact that just because a person has more then one side to them does not mean they are a sell out.

My grandson is 2 years old and has almost platinum blond hair. everyone calls him a  'towhead," but no one knows why that expression refers to a blond toddler.

Flax or hemp that has been prepared for spinning was always referred to as Tow. Since it is pale in color,  somehow, the term started being used for boys with light hair, towhead.

Iran's lunatic midget president AGAIN declared his desire to wipe out Israe today. Can we afford to think wishfully about the Iranians, hope they will be responsible with their nukes and not start nuking away?

Hmmm......I remember a couple years ago, bush said something like this (direct quote):\n\n"knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."\n\nYeah, I remember that, I was sitting in 105:H International Studies at Washington University when he said that, it was a reference to "Iraq's" "Nuclear technology" that we all know now that he never even had.....whooopsy, guess we can't use that phrase again....\n\nThey've been threatening Israel for the last 30 years, in fact you act as if Israel is so vulnerable, while as a matter of fact they are the ones that have ballistic missiles and atomic capablities, you act as if Iran is the bully===right.....hmmmm yeah did you get the memo? \n\n------------\n\nI don't like your attitude when it comes to describing their leaders either, I have my own feelings towards most Islamic extremists as I do for Christian extremists (Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson), but I don't go as far to label them and make a racial slur...you need to have some decency, and I know your probably quite young, however better to learn now than never right?


Is it more difficult for a Left Handed person to learn to write than a left  handed person?

Palmer Method\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nThe Palmer Method of penmanship instruction was developed and promoted by Austin Palmer in the early 1900's and soon became the most popular handwriting system in the United States. Under it, students were taught to copy a uniform style of cursive writing with rhythmic motions. Left-handers were usually made to use their right hands. The method developed around 1888 and was introduced in his 1894 book Palmer's Guide to Business Writing. In spite of opposition from the major textbook companies, this textbook enjoyed great success: in 1912, 1,000,000 copies were sold throughout the country. The method garned awards, as well: in 1915, the Gold Medal at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, California; and in 1926, the Gold Medal at the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.\n\nPalmer's style fell out of popularity and was replaced by a movement to teach children manuscript before teaching them cursive, in order to provide them with a means of written expression as soon as possible and thus develop writing skills. Students would switch to cursive later on. This effectively reduced the emphasis on handwriting in elementary school and is sometimes said to have been responsible for a decrease in the overall legibility of modern American handwriting.\n\nThe style is now experiencing renewed attention, both from people interested in improving handwriting for themselves, and for those working with facilitated handwriting for the disabled. As the Palmer method has a focus on shoulder and arm movements, it is helpful for many with limited movement of the fingers.


paula seems really out of it and a bit too chilled on american idol????? What is up with her eyes aswell shes on another planet by the looks of it. If you havent noticed then watch her on a previous show or on the next one coming up.

Paula broke her back in a serious car accident and has been on heavy duty pain meds since.  Sometimes when she's stoned out of her gourd, it's really the pain medication that's making her loopy.\n\nI feel bad that she has to live in that kind of pain...But, c'mon, if you know you're going to be on live TV, try taking your meds hours before you go on so you're not drooling on yourself!


I am a councilman in the village of mifflin Ashland county Ohio.I need to know if roads, streets, alleys, ect. are required to be maintained (ashpalt, gravel, ect) in order to be considered open to traffic. Some of these alleys have homes, garages and other structures built on them. Most of them have never been open to traffic. Others are now and have been for some time, grass yards, maintained by the property owner nearest to them. Can these "roadways" be used for travel?

1. The general rule is that the property owner has to grant an easement in their deed in order for the road to become public property. The gov't may have acquired the land by eminent domain, but you probably would have known that.\n2. There could be an easement by prescription, that is if people other than the owners of the road have been using it openly for a certain length of time (prescribed by local statute) then they would have acquired the right to access adversely.\nIn other words, the answer to your question is that yes, in order for a road to be open to the public, the government has to maintain it.\n\nI live in MN, the general site to find city statutes is \n\nwww.city.state.mn.us\nyou might want to try a similar formulation


since I got crap for calling him a "hindi" I'll re-word. He's HINDU, and he is the greatest! He is my best friend and he knows that I care about him, its the same vs. But he wants what is best for his family, at the same time though he wants to visit me without getting crap about it, it has really been taking a toll on him emotionally. How can I help him deal?

Love is a sacred commitment .Check out if you love him and he loves you.Other details of adjustment can be worked out.True LOVE absorbs every thing because it is sanctified by  GOD.All religions emerge from God and not the vice versa. Forget about his religion if he loves you and you love him.

i have school homework and i have to find out:\n\n   WHat does ella learn of char's character from sir stephan?\n\n       thats the question. if anyone can please help i would really appriciatte it!

Plot outline (book)\n\nAt the moment of Ella of Frell's birth, she was unfortunately bestowed a "gift" by a fairy named Lucinda. Despite the objections from her mother and fairy godmother/family's cook (Mandy), Lucinda cursed Ella with the "gift" of obedience. From that day forward, Ella was to obey any direct order given to her by anybody, no matter what it was (orders ranging from hopping on one foot all day to chopping off her own head). Ella, however, stays lighthearted by making a game out of her curse and finding loopholes around orders. For example, if Mandy orders her to hold a bowl of cake batter, Ella would move her feet and run around the kitchen, having Mandy chase after her until she gave her another order or request.\n\nAt her mother's funeral, Ella meets Prince Char in the graveyard next to a large willow tree. The two have a long conversation full of laughs and wit until Ella's father takes her home. When they return home after the funeral, Ella meets Dame Olga and her daughters, Hattie and Olive, whom she discovers are being sent to finishing school. After the three leave, Ella's father forces her to go to finishing school because he doesn't want his daughter to grow up being a clumsy cook's helper. The night before she is sent away, Mandy gives her a fairy book that can show her children's stories, journal entries and letters from friends and family, as well as maps and other things. She also gives her her mother's necklace.\n\nThe day she is sent to finishing school, she first goes on a small trip with Prince Char, who shows her all of her favorite places and promises to bring her a centaur. Ella gets in a carriage with Hattie and Olive, who automatically begin to take advantage of the curse, making her give up the necklace as well as her money. When they arrive at finishing school, Ella befriends an Ayorthian girl named Arieda and the two are very close until Hattie forces Ella to end her friendship. Ella soon learns of the Giant's wedding and that both her father and Lucinda may attend. Eager to be free from the curse, she flees from finishing school in the night and tries to make her way to the Giant's wedding.\n\nIn the process, she meets the elves who give her a gift (a beautiful Slanen sculpture of a howling wolf) and a horse. After she leaves the elves, she's kidnapped by ogres who eat her horse and try to eat her. However, after observing the Ogrese language overnight, she hypnotizes them and is soon saved by Char and his knights. They bind the ogres and take them in, and Char lets one of his knights take her to the wedding. Ella meets Lucinda and begs her to remove the curse, while at the same time hoping Lucinda isn't offended and won't turn her into a squirrel. Lucinda refuses and orders her to be happy with her obedience, with serious aftereffects.\n\nShe meets her father and they return home, while learning that he is now a ruined man for selling an item that did not belong to him. In order to keep his family from being thrown into the streets, he plans to marry Ella off. At first Ella is happy, as she is ordered to be, and even meets one of her suitors at dinner. However, an order from Mandy telling her to feel however she feels about her curse makes her change her mind rather drastically. Her father refuses to marry Ella off, and instead decides to marry Dame Olga. Ella's worst fears unravel as Hattie and Olive are now her sisters.\n\nAt the wedding, she meets with Prince Char again, and they share a romantic evening together. They find glass slippers in a garden and Ella wears them as they dance together. It would be the last time they would see each other for some time, for he would have to leave for Ayortha for one year, but they promise to keep in touch through letters. Lucinda arrives at the wedding and bestows a curse on the married couple, granting them eternal love. Any chance of Ella's father leaving D


its a 2nd order equation.Boundry conditions:v(x,0)=v(x,b)=v(0,y)=0, v(a,y)=10y, 0<x<a, 0<y<b. you can rearrange to get (X"/X)=0 AND (Y"/Y)=0 and solve using auxcillary equations. you end up with 6 in total because you have to do the 3 possible scenarios for each. but then how do you solve using boundary conditions. please explain because im finding it hard to do.thank you

Actually, you get X''/X=C and Y''/Y=-C where C does not have to be 0. Also, remember that sums of solutions are solutions, so the solutions you get from separation of variables only give a basis for the vector space of solutions, not all the solutions. The specifics are difficult in this forum, but you have to set up the series and use the boundary conditions to find the coefficients of the series.


after being photographed, of his own free will, in 1996 wearing fishnets and leopard-print stilettos, no political carton is complete with out him wearing them. I have looked for ages but can't find the picture, Does anyone know where I can find it?

I've done a website for my group, it is involving Microsoft Servers, now we all know there will be a lot of problems and troubleshooting with these servers aha. What I have accomplished is I've created the table for all 266 of our servers, with related information on them, I've also created a troublshooting table. The reason I made seperate tables, was so that more than one troubleshooting records could be insterted with each server. And I created a relationship from server name --> server name, so that when I run a query they meet and show me stuff! \n\nHere is where I come into problems: I have no idea how to do this, so that on the website, they will click on a record which takes them to the detail page, and then also the CORRECT troubleshooting records for that server shows up. (I'm using Dreamweaver Ultra Dev 4) All it does right now, is list every problem, under each record, even though its a different server. (Hopefully that made sense?).

If you have the ability to enter a direct SQL statement into UltraDev when you are binding this data, your SQL statement would look something like this:\n\nSELECT a.*, b.* FROM troubleshootingtable a INNER JOIN servertable b ON a.servernamecolumn = b.servernamecolumn WHERE a.recordidcolumn= 'recordid'\n\nIn the statement above:\n\nReplace "troubleshootingtable" with the name of the troubleshooting table\n\nReplace "servertable" with the name of the table that holds your server info\n\nReplace "servernamecolumn" with the names of the columns that hold your server names. For example, if that's called server in the troubleshooting table, then a.servernamecolumn would be changed to a.server; if it's called servername in the servers table, you'd change b.servernamecolumn to b.servername\n\nReplace "recordidcolumn" with the name of the primary key column in your troubleshooting table.\n\nReplace "recordid" with the name of the variable you will be using to get the right record.\n\nIf this doesn't help, follow up and I will try to clarify.


I saw a music video by some band whose name started with a "Y", maybe. The music video was all claymation, and at the end, it flashed the band's name in clay. I think there was a "Y" in it.

no  don't believe  a word they say i have heard these speeches and not for a minute do i think that the rest of them wouldn't jump on that band wagon . i don't think its in our best interest to trust them ,they have shown no interest in assimilating to our land ,they even had the nerve to change our national anthem and make demands .they take no responsibility for their actions nor do they try to change their own land , and they defend their countries actions regarding how things are done there . so to trust them would be STUPID!!

As long as they're clean, what's the big deal?  Girls are always getting pedicures and wearing sexy shoes, so why are feet so taboo?

I don't think feet are taboo.  My ex-boyfriend had a foot fetish and it made things very interesting, not bad at all.  Everybody has their own "thing".  And anyway, that's why we get pedicures and wear sexy shoes, so our feet will be attractive.

By recognizing AIDS is a real danger, promoting "safe sex" and by "talking about AIDS and telling people that it is a real danger and threat to the human race!  Sports could play a big role in the fight against AIDS or any sexually transmitted disease, or life threatening disease, by being open and talking about it!


for the lack of employment, low wages, stingy social programs, dwindling public education but booming private education for the rich, monopolies, corruption, crime and so forth. How is it that they don't speak out in their own country where they have the right to manifest but brave in America to rally these protests?

By looking at your profile you are very worried about immigration.\n\nOkay, Mexicans or any other immigrants because right there you are stereotyping, and it is not just Mexicans, but all those 12 million illegal immigrants that live in this wonderful country are HERE now, HERE  in the US, so why would they go back to their original country and protest against their government?\n\nI agree with you that before they came to the US they could have done that, but they never had the idea, maybe they were scared to stand up to the government, since it has never happened since Mexico got its independence. So, they might think they won't do anything, maybe, I am not sure.


Technology is changing so fast that companies and indiividuals are getting rid of their "old" PC's. So what is happenig to all these personal computers? Is someone destroying them? Are they being disassembled? Are they being sent to third world countries? Are the PC's being ovehauled or recycled? I really wonder what is happening to these pieces of junk!

Where I live there is a foundation that takes donated old computers and gets them up to par..then they give them out free to children here in the school systems..It's called No Child Left Out or something like that and their basis is that every child can benefit from having a computer in their home..Pretty neat idea. :)\n\nWhen I get a new one, I know I will be donating mine.

always fear in back of mind, though doing everyday things nicely .... can't understand the exact reason

Should exaggerate a little bit if you want to get any helpful answers to your question because honestly I'm reading this over and over again and still don't know exactly what it is your asking...let me give this a shot tho anyway.I don't know what is causing you to be afraid but it could be something that has recently happened that was traumatic, if it is then , give yourself some time to heal, if you are seriously worried about yourself, first try talking with a close friend or relative, if that doesn't help then go see a professional and if that doesn't help then well i guess your gonna go through life being afraid of whats gonna happen and being fake to all your friends and family. Let me tell you though, trying to put up a front every waking moment isn't easy I know I do it everyday but all the things i suggested you do haven't helped me, ask this question again or add some more details.

How many Japanese lives were saved by atomic bombs? \n\n\nWhen we dropped 2 atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we killed several hundred thousand Japanese. (Fewer than we killed in firebombing Tokyo)\n\nHad we not dropped the bombs and forced the Japanese to surrender, we would have soon invaded Japan.\n\nLooking at what happened on Okinawa, Iwo Jima, and the other Islands where tens of thousands died or committed suicide; we could confidently predict that the Japanese would fight to their last man in Japan.\n\nMy question therefore is, "How many Japanese lives were saved by atomic bombs?"\n\n\nNext question, "How many Allied lives were saved by the use of atomic bombs?"

I would have to say that it would be impossible to know the answer, Pure speculation...however, after reviewing the facts:\n\n1. Japan had made overtures via Sweden of negotiating a peace prior to Hiroshima.\n2. However, they did openly turn down the Potsdam demands for unconditional surrender.\n3. Like you mentionioned, Iow Jima and Okinawa showed their army's determination to fight to the last man, altho it may not have proven that the civilians would've done the same on Japan proper.\n4. The first nuclear detonation did not bring immediate surrender from the Japanese leaders.\n5. By using the bomb, we lost the moral argument after the war that the A-bomb should be controlled and never used.\n6. The bombing of civilians was recognized as barbaric before the war and in the Geneva conventions, and yet the allies began using incendiaries on Dresden, Tokyo causing major firestorms.\n7. By ending the war earlier, we did not give the Soviets a chance to mount an offensive against Japan and create a Soviet Bloc as they did in Europe.\n8.Oppenheimer, Fermi and others considered the alternative, increased American casualties vs ending the war sooner by using the weapons, and they recommended the use of the bombs. There were some scientists who recommended a demonstration to show the Japanese leaders the potential devastation, but they were overrulled.\n\nMy opinion is that we did save Japanese lives that would've exceeded the number killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, vis a vis the continued encendiary bombing of Japanese cities and loss due to "fighting" to the last man mentality that showed at Iwo and Okinawa.\n\nThe number of allied lives saved, i would guess, would be around 200,000, but that's only pulling a number out of the sky...the US stated hundreds of thousands, if not more.


I can't find a logical explanation for this!

Maybe the "survival of the fittest"-rule doesn't count for every little detail in the genetic code. Is this possible?\n\nMaybe there was no particular function for this. Maybe the forefathers of asians and caucasians where quite simply different looking, one moved west the other east. They had no more contact and so each developed into a distinct race, with their own features.\n\nI don't know, i'm neither a biologist, nor a historian, nor anything else. \nIntriguing question. congratulations.


I started taking EPO about a year and a half ago. Since I started taking this oil I've put on about 1 1/2 stones in weight. I usually take it in the morning. I really don't want to stop taking it because it's been a big help, but on the other hand I really would like to loose some weight. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestion?

Sunshine is right...EPO is usually recommended to help people LOSE weight.  You might try switching to another GLA rich oil...like Borage Oil or Blackcurrant oil.  These will help your original problem and there is no indication they make people gain weight.  You should try revving up your metabolism by taking CLA or drinking a lot of green tea.  Both of these have been shown to help people reduce their weight.  Also take a look at your diet in general..are you getting enough protein for instance?   You need to include lean protein with each meal...and avoid flour products.  Concentrate on whole grains and lots of fruit and veg..and as i said lean protein.  Also fish oil capsules are good.  Im a nutritional consultant by the way..so i do have experience with these things.  Good luck.

gandalf, frodo,smeogol, sam, aragorn, theodon, legoelas......

gandalf!!! or aragorn. actually, i like the ents or gandalf best.


like who was he, and where he came from? and how did he knew he was a prophet? did he had any injury or any mental issue? (please i am not trying to be offended) was he for real? i am sure he will not go that far for nothing. don't tell me everything about him, just when he was not a prophet yet. because i had a dream...

he was born in Mecca in saudi arabia. his father died before he was born, his mother soon followed him. he was being taken care by his uncle. he worked as a shepherd when he was young. after that he worked in the trade business. he used to go on trading trips to Syria. he first got married when he was 40. if u still have any questions contact me.


To all girls out there you seen some gay dudes in your life...\nSo i have a question....Why are the gay guys the hot ones...?

Well...it is true that there are some hunky gay guys...BUT, there are also some seriously hideous ones. LOL. I, however, tend to find straight guys hotter. For goodness sake, with a straight guy, you always know what's on his mind when he's with you...your boobs, how he can get you into bed...oh, and your boobs. And guess what? That makes you feel sexy (come on, girls, admit it...), so in my opinion, if someone is capable of making ME feel sexy...how sexy is he??? YUMMY! Right? SO Sexy...Just saying...


Why protest...if you are hear ILLEGALY...ummm... LEAVE...or get arrested and deported...case closed...What do we have to loose....ummm crime...What do we have to gain...JOBS,... for REAL US citizens...Why should we put up with people being here ILLEGALLY...If I do something Illegal I get arrested...Why shouldn't you....OHHH thats RIGHT..because I'm a LAW abiding USA citizen....Answer that for me....

Because Americans don't like Republicans either, and we are really sick of all your abuse. Americans really want to deport the Republicans instead of the illegals, at least they work for a living. And we are going to use them to get rid of the Republicans in November; because the Republicans screwed them too. So what do you think about that? The illegals are more sane than the Republicans right now.


This is no joke, this is a real scientific/biology issue.  The human cells do get old, but at differing ages.  Why is it then, that it is the eyes that get older first?

Aging is a broad term that refers to each part of the body getting old. But each part of the body gets old in its own way. Your eye has two main parts that are necessary for vision, the front which is a lens for focusing and adjusting the amount of light and the back which is like the film in a 35mm camera to receive the light and translate it into a message for the brain. When we age, for the most part, the changes to the front of the eye are the most noticeable. The front of the eye has a lens which is attached to little muscles which bend it so you can focus on things far away and things up close like the lens of a camera. This lens is a big piece of transparent protein that is created during development and doesn't really change much for the rest of your life, so as you get older, day to day, you bend the lens to read, and then to see far away and everything in between and it works, but because it's not perfect it gets gradually stiffer as you get older, sometimes it will get cloudy as in cataracts and sometimes the muscles that bend it will get weak, all contributing to the perceived aging of the eye.


i've liked this guy since before my friend started going out with him, i just found out 2 months ago that he feels the same. he still cares about my firned but they stay cheating on eachother and now my friends pregnant by a different guy. i really wanna be with this but i know it goes against the friend rule. but why can't i give into my feelings just this once? wut should i do?

You people are horrible and your friend is a hoe. She should break up w/him and you should suggest it. She better stick to they guy that impregnated her! They just need to break up and if I were you (luckily am no) I would not get w/that guy because if he cheats on your friend, he'll cheat on you!


okay i just started snowboarding a few dsays ago\nim getting better but going of  the ski lift is getting harder and keeping my balance too what should i do?

First learn to fall with grace. once you learn how to do that, than you can move on. do you remembver that old wise saying about learning how to crawl before you can walk?\nit is also true with moving allong with anything you do.


An dhow do we know if its maximum or minimum?????

Take the derivative:\n\nf'(x) = 2x - 4\n\nSet the derivative equal to 0, and solve for x:\n\n0 = 2x - 4\nx = 2\n\nSub this value of x into the original equation to find the turning point:\n\nf(2) = (2)^2 - 4(2) + 1\nf(2) = -3\n\nSo, your turning point is (2, -3).\n\nAnd, since the x-squared term in the equation is positive, you know that this point is a minimum.\n\nDone and done.


how is it possible when we have to have it for our cars, heat, and everything else we need it for? unless we go back to horse and buggy and fire for heat, i dont understand why he keeps saying this, anyone know what the heck he means? seriously?

It is possible, but it will be a difficult road.  <---Get it.\n\nFirst Ethanol is a very small baby step, it won't save us.  It might burn cleaner and take slightly less oil to make, but the horrible gas mileage make you have to use more of it to get where you're going.\n\nHybrid technology is on to something.  Electricity is the way to go.  With the advancements of battery & motor technology, you will soon see electric cars and trucks out perform the internal conbution engine.  The current problem is the high voltages necesary to drive those motors make these cars potentially very dangerous for mechanics to repair.  They can also be very dangerous in an acident.\n\nSo my solution is nuclear energy.  But this scares too many people.  All you have to do is build several plants out in the desert that will provide enough electricity to power everything including: heating/cooling, transportation, manufacturing, and comercial consumption.  \n\nThis will make us more ecconimically independant (richer) so that we can develop better ways of cleaning or disposing of the nuclear waste products.  My vote is shooting it into the Sun.\n\nBush's solution really isn't one.  He has to politicise the issue to placate the American people while allowing American companies to retool, research & develop, and create a delivery system for a new power source.  The current problem isn't the alternate energy source as much as it is how do companies sell us that new source.


the green light is still on on the computer so i have to press thew buttong to turn it off then push it againg to turn it back on but if i shake the mouse it wont do anything wen the green light is on wen i get back after 5 hr??????

Listen to me!!!  Your computer is very pissed off at you.  When you ignore it for 5 hours, it'll ignore you in return - very much like a woman ;)  I would seek the advice of a professional counsoler.  It wouldn't hurt to buy it/her a new light or fan.  Chocolates and flowers won't cut it.\n\nOK, seriously.  Everyone else is right.  Your computer is going into a power save mode.  You can adjust these settings in "Control Panel -> Power Options".  Just change the first pull down to "Always On".  You can still enter hibernation - click "Turn Off Computer", hold down shift, and click "Stand By".\n\nIf the problem still persists, then look into lights and fans.  Saying I love you once in a while doesn't hurt either.

I agree that killing is the last thing we should be doing.  Ideally, most political problems should be solved by diplomacy.  At present, the world situation has gotten so bad, that it's hard to get people to sit down together and think rationally.  There are so many hidden agendas, concerning religion and business.  Let us hope that the people we elect to solve world problems will continue to have successes, and be able to prevent the daily killings we all hate so much.

I think it's a Phil Colins song. I don't really know the lyrics but here is the plot summary. 5am (or sometime) Cab shows up, she's going to the airport. On the inside I'm crying. I don't remember much more than that. Does anyone remember the name of the song?

That sound more like TAXI by Harry Chapin to me.  I could be wrong but this is my best guess.


I live in Miami Beach Fl. The past 2 nights some government agency has been going around and rounding illegal immigrants that are working. Is operation "Give'em the Boot" in full swing? Let me have your thoughts!

Yes, that is going on here in Utah too. Over the weekend police were ever pulling people over who were hispanic & asking them for papers. it's awful & it's seperating so many families who depend on these people.

MY Aunt is 58 and has Heart Failure so I'm trying to find out where she can go for help. Fortunantly she has very good insurance so she can go anywhere. I know the Cleveland Clinic is good but wonder if there is a place that specialzes in HF. Thanks in advance!\n\nTrey

Heart failure is a common problem and any competent physician (especially a cardiologist) can deal with it.  It is a chronic problem that will require much medication optimization over the years and thus having someone local to care for her is probably better than trying to travel very far for an opinion. All of these big hospitals function as consultative centers anyway...they will expect you to have a doctor at home to follow their recommendations and again, the heart failure management goes way beyond one visit recommendation.  If you do take her places, obviously the Mayo Clinic is one of the best.

anyone with any good sites on employee relations/industrial disputes, pls help!

I should think the way to go about this would be to take a case study from the website of (a) an employer which is currently being threatened or suffering a strike, and (b) the union representing the striking workers.  Once you have both sides of the dispute, check the web site of the local newspaper for the city where the strike is taking place, and you should have a useful essay.  \n\nI had planned to offer our local bus company as an example, but note that all mention of the recent strike has been removed from their site!  Wonder why . . .


I have social anxiety because I used to do drugs. And I dont believe in taking a Prescription drugs, because its like taking more drugs to solve a problem that was caused by taking drugs in the first place. I mostly have anxiety when going somewhere where theres lots of people having conversation that I don't know well.

Hi Pablo, I too suffer from social anxiety.Believe me I understand your frustration and sadness about it. Ok well, firstly I have to tell you that as a result in doing drugs -you have created an imbalance in your brain. I know this cos i did drugs for years to hide from my problems. This rapidly reduced the seratonin in my brain. You need seratonin to feel happiness. Anyway, the point of telling you that, is that you may need to take a short dose of seratonin tablets. Lexapro is especially used for panic disorders and anxiety.(ive started it myself recently and it is working) I didnt agree with tablets either for the same reason as yourself, but the point is, the reason youre feeling like this is because of a chemical imbalance.\nSome things that will help you in the mean time are: You have to cut out coffee and sugary foods from your diet. Cut down on alcohol also. This is just for a little while. These things actually make you feel more anxious.\nIf you are feeling particularly anxious, the best thing to do is go for a power walk. Exercise really helps get rid of that anxious feeling.\nYou need to go to a cognitive therapist then, to help you find out why you feel like this in social situations.You know,get to the root of the problem.The cognitive therapist will tell you how to control your anxiety and what triggers this etc.\nThen you need to join a group of people that are going through the same thing as yourself. It will make it easier to go to group therapy ( your cog.therapist will probably refer you later on)until you feel comfortable in social situations.\nI know its daunting..but youve made the first positive step by asking for help. It is a long road, but you will make it through. You are not alone in feeling like this.\nPlease get help as soon as you can because, it can get worse over time. I made the mistake of thinking that i could get over it myself, but over 5 yrs it got progressively worse. \nI wish you all the luck in the world. Feel free to pm me as i am going through the daily battle of social anxiety myself.\nCheck out the website below to give you an idea that others feel as you do


I am so afraid of the fact  after 10 wonderful loving years with my special someone that i will not find another!one time chance should gave in to her wishes and made it last!\nI know how much loved because thoughts are still there.after 6 yrs doesnt help havent nfound no one else to occupy my thoughts!

I believe you can find happiness twice in a life time.  You will never ever forget your first love.  You will always have him in your heart.  and you may not find THAT special kind of love again, but you can love again.  Like if your spouse dies after 20 years of marriage, I do believe later on in life you can find a new love and happiness with a new person.  I dont feel it will be the SAME degree and closeness as your first love but I fully believe you can love and find happiness once again.


The book needs to contain photographs and articles about the unit.  I looked at scrapbooks, but they are too large or do not have the capability of containing enough pages.

Actually, a scrapbook is your best bet. Check Micheal's or Joanne's. They have different sizes, and you are able to add pages to them, as needed. :) Hope that helps a little. My husband is doing a scrapbook of his military time and purchased a huge photo album with self adhesive pages, that would probably work for your needs too.


My mom is 80 years old, she is healthy except high blood pressure and heart disease .And she has taken thin blood pills to dilute her blood for 3 years. She used to walk in the park for 2.5 hours every morning . But recently she couldn't walk well because her kneels are painful especially her right kneel. She is sad and in bad temper sometimes. I really want to help but can do nothing because the doctor said it is most of the old's problem. And the hospital refuse to accept her to stay in the hospital. I am ignorant and inexperience about health problem because she is healthy and has very few sickness in the past. Does anyone can give advice? Please help!

Medication will probably not be enough to allow her to be active again, but it won't hurt to try. The pain is most probably from arthritis so get your doctor to give her a prescription pain reliever/anti-inflammatory (any brand Ibuprofen can be used without prescription) After two years of a similar problem with my mom (she is now 83) we decided an operation to give her a titanium replacement was the only way to go. She had some pain and discomfort for a few months, but she is now back to walking and driving again. Good luck and God bless you for taking care of her.


Now can anyone tell me how I could improve his receptive language, in other words, when will he tell me things when will he talk to me with out prompting, he has a massive  word bank, but chooses not to use sentences.

I have a 5-year old with autism.  My wife and I have been successful getting him to talk to us only if it's requesting food or certain play activities.  I'd say about half the time he asks on his own without being prompted.  We expand his vocabulary by offering him more choices or making him make more decisions.  For example, instead of putting in the video he hands us, we'll pick up another and make him point and say the title of the video he wants.  Eventually, he'll ask for the video by name right away.  It's only been the last few months that he's been doing this, so I'm optimistic about how he can grow from this step to more difficult social interactions (even if it takes a few years).


a guy goes down on you? or does it make u uncomfortable? do u wash before he does if it is at night and u have been peeing out of it all day?

If man evolved from apes due to a migrating group and having to adapt to new evnvironments why do other people have different colour skin. For instance in hot countries, there are dark skinned people around the mediteranean but most of africa contains very dark skinned people. If its down to people living around the equator, why do other races in the equatorial areas not have very dark skins like in africa and asia?

"The fact that we are descended from ape-like ancestors over the last few millions years does not carry the slightest implication that we should all look the same: just the reverse, in fact. I have no idea why you think skin colour ought to match on the same latitudes. There is a huge variety in skin colour in Africa. There is no one African skin colour: Africa encompasses more human diversity than anywhere else in the world." 1\n\n& this\n\n"The claim that there are many different skin colors in the world is not altogether accurate. The apparent differences in color are merely differences in the amount of the melanin found in the skin, not differences in the type of color. There is only one coloring agent for the human race; the shade of color simply depends upon how much melanin is present." 2\n\n& Go here for more info\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_color\n\n& Go here for good reading on evolution\n\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-mustread.html\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-evolution.html\nhttp://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-creationists.html

A blonde heard that taking a bath in milk makes you look beautiful. So she left a note to her milkman telling him to leave her 15 gallons of milk. When the milkman received the note, he thought that there must me some mistake, so he knocked on the blondes door to clarify the order.\n\n"Excuse me, miss, but...is this request written correctly?"he asked.\n\n"Yes it is," replied the blonde."I'm going to fill up my bath tub with it.\n\n"Would you like that pasteurized?"inquired the milkman.\n\n"No,"said the blonde. "Just up to my waist."

I thought Barry Watson was cute on Seventh Heaven, but he's so hot now! I didn't even know he was ill. He looks great. I am so happy for a new show to come around that I'm loving, it has elements of all my fav all time shows. My fav scene so far is him kissing the girl at the club, it was HOT! i was blushing. I wanted it to be me he was kissing like that. I will definately be tuning in every week!

i am 5'4" (5ft 4in.) what am i "supposed" to weigh?

i dont care what all the other people are saying, they are talking rubbish. There is NO way you can determine how much you should weigh from your height alone. Even the most simple BMI which isnt the most perfect proper measurement, gives a more realistic idea and thats from weight and height stats combined. You dont have much height on you so i would recomend no more than 11 stone for a healthy body. 10 stone is more realistic to what your likely to be. but then your probably young to be asking that kind of question so your probably like 9 stone?


should i keep a friend like that whose dating the love of my life and shes married to top it off.what should i do.

Take a leech and put it in a maze. Put blood at the other end.  Once the leech finds the blood it'll remember the route.  Take that leech, put it in a blender and liquidise it, then feed it to another leech.  It will get the route right first time, give two leeches the leech soup and put them in identical but different mazes and they will both get it right first time.  Aparently it's a thing called chemical memory.  Have you got any amazingly amazing facts?

It's not a fact.  First of all, the claims about chemical memory apply to planarian flatworms, NOT leaches.  Second of all, only one scientist claimed to have produced those effects.  Nobody else has been able to duplicate those experiments, hence they're regarded as false.\n\nIt doesn't really matter where you got it from, it's still false.  I've heard professional scientists report it as well.  So what?  Professional scientists are not inerrant.  This story got widespread publicity in the seventies and like all stories that hit the media, the retraction hardly got any attention at all.\n\nKeep in mind, when I say the experiment couldn't be duplicated, I mean FROM THE GROUND UP.  You cannot even train a flatworm to solve a maze in the first place, much less pass on this non-existant training to another flatworm through flatworm-flesh.


for example, is it better to have a serious speech or a funny speech? plain, simple posters, or exciting posters?

Is it highschool or college.  I was highschool class president once, I would try to appeal to as diverse a group as possible.  Your posters need to grab attention, to make up for lack of creativity, get as many posters, stickers, or whatever out there and get the most exposure.  People are going to vote for their friends in highschool, and I found that most of the academians that were running only had a small group of friends that were all as lame as they were.  I hung out with the stoners, the athletes, the cool kids, and was in all the smart kids classes, that kind of exposure clinched it.


im trying to write this thing and it has to say what i want to major in. i dont think that you can major in prelaw. so what do i say?? or can you major in that. do i say like criminal justice and political science. but if i only say that will it be known that i want to be a lawyer. please i need it by tomorrow morning. like before 5am!

I took the political science path, it helps you get into the debating mind set.  You have to be able to develop and support your ideas in law school which is what political science courses allow you to do.  The only reason you would want to deal with criminal justice is if you are wanting to be involved in the criminal justice system which I would not recommend.  Do political science and take elective courses that are geared towards the area of law you are interested in (business, corporate, real estate, contract...whatever)  You need to learn how those systems operate also in order to completely understand the whole system and not just the law side of it....then again I am an over-achiever so it really just depends on how good of a lawyer you want to be.


You have to check the books at the court house to make sure no one has a lien against the property.\n\nYou can't sell a property if someone is using it as collateral.\n\nYou can go to the court house and look at the books.

Yes. There are several clauses state that this is a possibility. Refer http://www.irs.gov


Entrepreneur Magazine has made a list of low cost businesses that you can start:\n\nLow Cost Startup Businesses http://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses/0,6617,,00.html\n\nStarting a small business takes a lot of courage. But, as they say, courage does not pay the bills. To be successful – to stay in business – you need more than courage. You need a combination of hard work, skill, perseverance, and lots of luck. \n\nSome things you need to consider:\n- "How can I support my family while I build up by business?" \n- "What are my abilities?" \n- "Is there a market for the product or service I have chosen?" \n- "How long will it take this business to reach the financial goal I have?" \n\nYou may want to read the article "How to Start a New Business Successfully" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol51/launch.htm , which lists six steps to launch a new business successfully:\n\n1.

A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. \n\nThe key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.\n\nDan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business.

Christians, what does it mean to be "in Christ", and how do I know if I am?

if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior...you are in Christ. what that means is that you have been removed from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Light.

A. Angstrom\nB. lux\nC. lumen\nD. candela

Answer is D. Candela\n Candela is the luminous intensity, in the perpendicular direction, of a surface of 1/600 000 square meter of a full radiator at the temperature of freezing platinum under a pressure of 101325 newtons per square meter.  \n\nA is wrong. Angstrom is the unit of wavelength.\n\nB is wrong. Lux is unit of luminous of a surface area which receiving light from a source, emits it.\n\nC is wrong. Lumen is the light emitted per second within a unit solid angle by a uniform POINT source of light.  1 cd = 1 lm sr^ (-1)

If 'O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,\nWhat so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?...' is the American national anthem, then what is 'I pledge alligiance to the flag...'?

It is exactly what it is, the Pledge of allegiance to the flag! The anthem and the pledge are two different things, one you obviously pledge your allegiance to as an American, the other is the anthem which is our national "song" so to speak, which you abide by as an American citizen as well.  It's what 'Hail to the Queen" is to our Canadian neighbors..got it?

you are correct... \nit is 3 feet tall, with bars at ever 12 inches (across) and three feet across.  The golf balls have an 18 inch piece of rope between them.\n\nThe pipe I used was 3/4 inch, which I purchased at my local lumber yard.  The golf balls I used a drill press to put holes through, then twisted some nylon rope through the holes, and burned the end when it came through.  If you get rope that fits tightly enough, this will be good enough to keep the rope in place.  You can also use some epoxy if you want some insurance.\n\nLet me know if this helps, or if you want add'l details.  It i a fun game!

Historically, you could turn around and see the projector beam streaming into the dark theater. Something has changed in the movie theater experience/projector to eliminate this.\n\nI've heard the following explanations:\n\n-There's no smoking in theaters today. Thus, there's no smoke and no particles to catch the beams of light. I believe this was none other than Roger Ebert's answer.\n\n-The carbon filament which burned in the projector is now encased in a bulb. This means the smoke that once filled the projector room and spilled out into the theater from this buring process is no longer present to catch the beams of light. A theater owner in Highland, IN offered this explanation.\n\n-Some other change in projector technology, perhaps leading to a difference in the light itself, explains the disappearance of the rays of light.\n\nTried this question in the movies category and didn't get any insights.  Now for the scientists... any educated guesses, or better yet, answers?


I clean reformatted windows xp and still the problem persists.  I tried changing out the power cord as well. I also cleaned everything to get the dust out and that didn't help either.\nI took a screen shot of my performance tab in task manager and it sure is using up my resources quick.  I took the screen shot and managed to save it before it shut down yesturday. You can see it here: http://regslittleeltonjohnsite.com/MB/Clipboard1.jpg\nThis is driving me nuts! Any suggestions?

If your computer shuts off while you are using it then the problem seems to be your power supply. I had to change it and replaced it with a more powerfull one to correct this problem on my computer and everything worked fine ever since.


On browsing online I happened to find a site by a man named Jack T Chick, I then read some of theories put forward. Now to me this site is made by a lunatic for lunatic fanatics so if thats your thing so be it. I done a spot of research at www.catholicanswers.com and was able to get a better perspectiveof the type of person this Jack Chick is, but this has left me wondering if anybody actually believes this anti-catholic propaganda? if so please feel free to let loose.

There were definitely people who believed Chick's anti-Catholic propaganda back in the 1970s. I remember a lot of Fundamentalist churches back then that regarded Chick tracts nearly on par with the New Testament itself. Children, in particular, were given Chick tracts (and the larger, scarier anti-Catholic comics by Chick) and told to give them to all their Catholic friends. Of course, the Chick tracts aren't just anti-Catholic; they're also homophobic, anti-Pagan, anti-Masonic, and just generally rampantly paranoid. \n\nChick tracts are still popular in some areas (especially for scoffers who collect them like trading cards). The last time I saw a bunch of Chick tracts was on the parking lot of an arena following a heavy metal concert...evangelists had passed out the Chick tracts, and a horde of young headbangers tore them to shreds, littering the whole area with the resulting confetti from the mangled tracts.


That depends who you ask.  Many parents will tell you that their children "used to be autistic" and that through vitamin therapy, chelation and oxygen therapy they were cured.\n\nIf you ask your average pediatrician, they will tell you that there isn't even any TREATMENT for autism, let alone a cure.  But then, most doctors don't want to admit that heavy metal toxicity, or vacinations have anything to do with it.  (Most doctors won't admit zinc helps a cold..)\n\nOf course doctors want people to fear chelation- for the same reason they want you to fear vitamins and herbs- THEY, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AREN'T MAKING ANY MONEY FROM IT!\n\nAsk an informed parent of an autistic child, and they're likely to tell you "Of course there's a cure.  It's called the DAN! Protocol."


There are stories of dragons from every corner of the earth. It seems that there must be some kernel of truth. anyone?

It is hard to prove and/or disprove the existence of dragons because, they are cryptozoids.  Perhaps they did once exist, and perhaps they still do (komodo dragons?...bad joke).  They might just were very highly evolved over-grown flying lizards with the abilities of breath fire, ice or acid.  The again, we cannot be sure of anything.\n\nTo me the world's cultures all share some form of beliefs in the exitence of dragons in their ancient past; thus, perhaps those beliefs were not myths...who knows?  Technically, there are two types of dragons: serpent dragons (Asian) and griffin dragons (Western).


In all, I believe their is one God, their isn't the Christain god, a Muslim god and/or a Jewish God, just God, and in realiaty  since Relgion is truly controled by man, it can be used for good and evil and can be distorted, just as the nature of man, but that leads to this, will God really care what relgion you followed? Sure the Muslim and the Buddist might have not accepted Jesus as their personal savior  and some may never due to the fact thats the way they were raised and want it stay (somemay cause a relgion like Hiduism  or fill in tha blank keeps a man in control or any other personal reasons such as traditionalism, culture, etc.) but that schouln't mean just that one act schould keep a person from heaven? Also Gandhi would have become a Christain if it "wasn't" for other Christains who have said they are Christ but live for the world, surly they woluldn't have gotten into to heaven over Gandhi.

Good Question, although you got a little lost in your typing there. \n\nI have to agree with your premise though. All in all, I think, and remember this is just my opinion, that you're on the right track. I think it's how a person lives and treats him/her self and others, that really matters. \nIf God really wants everyone to be one religion or another, there has to be some wiggle room in the end for those who just didn't know the difference or who were simply confused over the enormity of it all. \nPersonally I'm a God fearing Agnostic. Meaning I believe in God, but I don't believe in any one specific religious view of God. I know my actions towards others is a reflection of Gods' plan and if I'm cruel then I'm doing evil. \nIf I help someone out of my own kindness then I'm doing God's work.\nI don't believe God watches each of us individually, that's why He gave us free will. \nWe as individuals must look inward to find peace, love and goodness. Each of us must reach that place to pull out the goodness and extend it to our neighbors.


i couldn;t able to find this one.\n\ni have many more question in physics which r doubt ful to me if u want to share your knowledge with me plz give me ur email add.

(m)\n\nPhotoconductivity is the tendency of a substance to conduct electricity to an extent that depends on the intensity of light-radiant energy (usually infrared transmission or visible light) striking the surface of a sample. Most semiconductor materials have this property.\n\nWhen there is no illumination, a photoconductive sample has a conductance that depends on its dimensions, on the specific material(s) from which it is made, and on the temperature. In most cases, the greater the radiant energy of a specific wavelength that strikes the surface, the higher the conductance of the sample becomes, up to a certain maximum. When the maximum conductance is reached for a particular sample, further increases in irradiation produce no change in the conductance.\n\nPhotoconductive materials are used in the manufacture of photoelectric devices. Typical photoconductive substances consist of germanium, gallium, selenium, or silicon with impurities, also known as dopants, added. Other common materials include metal oxides and sulfides

I have my personal opinion, but I'd like to know yours

Princess Diana was often referred to as the most photographed person on earth during her life. Arguably, it contributed in part to her death.\n\nThe British National Portrait Gallery and BBC held an exhibition of some of the most photographed people in history:\n\n* Muhammad Ali,\n* James Dean, \n* Mahatma Gandhi, \n* Greta Garbo, \n* Audrey Hepburn,\n* Adolf Hitler, \n* John F. Kennedy, \n* Marilyn Monroe,\n* Elvis Presley; and\n* Queen Victoria.\n\nI'd say that the winner would be among the above group.


Think about wearing a miniskirt in a nightclub or a party at home. For example, like she is drinking and dancing at the same time. They could show impression on dancing to other mates and they try it out to be better dancers. Would the others look hot to them and discomfort other people?


As a grandmother I am so concerned about the future of your generation. Can we help? How?

I think that many young people look on their futures the same way that gold-seekers looked on striking it rich in the gold fields. All they had to do was find a way to get there and it would be waiting for them to pick it up.\n\nWith so much attention these days being paid by the media to the heroes that capture our youths imagination, young people believe that "Overnight Success Stories" are the rule rather than the exception.\n\nWhen they admire the achievements of athletes like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordon, they never think of the blood sweat and tears these men put into their earlier and ongoing training. All they see are the all star moments on the basketball court, played and re-played in living colour and the media concentrates on publicizing the advantages these heroes have: money, fame, fortune and the red carpet treatment wherever they go. \n\nThe adulation of fans knows no bounds and they all want to be like them but few ever do more than talk about it  because they don't know where to start learning how to achieve their goals. They just know that they want to be Rock Stars, Movie Stars, Singers, Models, and Sports figures (of outstanding quality, never mind just getting on the team).\n\nThe kid who wants to be a baseball star, but blows off practice to go out with friends will never get there. The girl who entertains her friends and relatives with her voice but takes exception to any advice from the people who know about voice training, will never get there. The girls and boys who have acted in every drama their schools put on, all want to go to Hollywood or New York, but how many opportunities are out there for them? Not many and they'll go to the people who worked their tail off BEFORE the audition to train themselves for that "lucky break." \n\nAll to many kids today simply don't know the meaning of "hard work and concentrated effort." Obtaining an education requires all that and more. Only the ones who somehow find the stamina, fortitude, and above all the motivation to keep carrying on, will achieve success. That is where we can help. We must motivate our young people and not necessarily with financial gain. Many young people are far more interested in "making a difference" in the political, cultural and environmental landscape, than they are in earning large amounts of money (though of course it is always nice if the two go together).\n\nAs for the rest, they will fall into the good old boy syndrome that characterizes much of modern life. It's not what you know but who you know, that spells success. Sadly, for many people that is all too true and one more reason not to bust their tails to get an education.


i think he is as good as scotty bowman was in detroit.  mike babcock set the road record for wins in a season with 30.  I thought he was good in anaheim.  he just made the wings work harder than lewis did in his couple of seasons in detroit.

he is doing a lot better than dave lewis did. LOOK AT THEIR RECORD!!! that is their second best record since the 98 season. i am a wing fan and i like mr. babcock


Very hard question...but its been bugging me for a while

I give up, I can't find it online, you may need to buy the paper NHL Record book.

Ponce de León, Juan\n(pŏns d  lē´ŏn, Span. hwän pōn´thā dā lāōn´) , c.1460—1521, Spanish explorer, first Westerner to reach Florida. He served against the Moors of Granada, and in 1493 he accompanied Columbus on his second voyage to America. From 1502 to 1504 he assisted in the conquest of Higuey (the eastern part of Hispaniola, now the Dominican Republic) and was made governor of that province. After finding gold on Boriquén (Puerto Rico) in 1508, he conquered the island and, as governor (1509—12), made a fortune in gold, slaves, and land. Hearing tales from the Carib of a wonderfully rich island called Bimini, said to be N of Cuba, Ponce de León secured a commission (1512) to conquer and colonize that land. There is a legend that he was seeking a spring with waters having the power of restoring youth. From Puerto Rico on Mar. 3, 1513, with three vessels, he sailed NE through the Bahamas, sighting the Florida peninsula (which he took to be an island) late in March and landing near the site of St. Augustine early in April. Probably because his arrival in Florida occurred at the time of the Easter feast (Pascua Florida), Ponce de León named the land (which he claimed for Spain) La Florida. He turned south, exploring the coast to Key West, and proceeded up the west coast as far as Cape Romano. Then, retracing his route, he sailed to Miami Bay via Cuba and from there returned to Puerto Rico, arriving Sept. 21, 1513. After partly pacifying Puerto Rico, which had been in revolt, he sailed to Spain, where the king commissioned him (Sept., 1514) to subdue the Carib of Guadeloupe and to conquer and colonize the "isle of Florida." In 1515 he led an unsuccessful expedition against the Carib and returned to Puerto Rico, where he resided until 1521. With two vessels, 200 men, 50 horses and other domestic animals, and farm implements, he sailed for Florida in 1521. Upon landing on the west coast, probably in the vicinity of Charlotte Harbor or Tampa Bay, his party was fiercely attacked by Native Americans, and he was severely wounded by an arrow. The expedition sailed immediately for Cuba, where Ponce de León soon died.


No.  But I know people who have.  Some say it feels good, honestly I don't see the attraction to the tossing of the salad.  Others say it just feels wierd and uncomfortable.  Personally, If I'm going to have a tossed salad, I'd prefer it be made of lettuce.

I think it is a really strong vicodin. It is a oblong white pill with blue specs on it and has a "V" in the middle?

Uh...how come you don't know what it is?  Did someone give it to you or did you find it?  Are you really going to consume a pill you don't know anything about?


two cylinders are similar... with surface areas of 25(3.1416)cm2 and 49(3.1416)cm2.... what is the volume of the larger cylinder with the smaller cylinger having a volume of 50(3.1416)cm3

Since they r similar,\n\nDivide the Area of the larger cylinder by the smaller one,\n49(3.142)/25(3.142) to receive proportionality\n\n= 1.96\n\nTherefore 1.96 * volume smaller cylinder,\n\n1.96*50(3.142) = 307.8 = 98(3.142) [The Volume of the larger cylinder]


Espechally if you change the IP address after having dissconnected the Network connection.

If the hacker has put a trojan / backdoor server on your machine, it will just "phone home" and tell him the new address.\n\nYou will need to clean that out first using various security programs like AVG, Ad-Aware and Scotty (all are free). And use them.
