I practiced judo for 3 months until I injured myself (bad ukemi on my part, I guess). Now I am thinking about trying Gracie Jujitsu because they focus more on ground fighting. However, I want to learn the most effective style for fighting. Any suggestions?

Hmm,\n\nSurprisingly enough, even the most effective disciplines of submission wrestling eg Brazillian Jiu Jitsu (alongwith it's derivatives like Renzo Gracie Jiu jitsu, Machados Jiu Jitsu etc.),Sambo wrestling and catch wrestling (alongwith it's derivatives such as shootfighting, pancrase, shooto, CSW, RINGS submission fighting and Japanese submission fighting) have been very strongly influenced by Jigoro Kano's Judo.\n\nThe western world emphasises on BJJ being the "underlying secret behind MMA sucsess", while in Japan Karl Gotch's Shoot wrestling has trained men who defeat BJJ practitoners regularly. The fact that BJJ is "the ultimate form of ground fighting" is pure imagination. In fact, the most dominant fighting style of both the current and all times is (surprisingly enough) Amature wrestling (widely associated, in the US, with either Greco Roman or Freestyle). Check it out at http://www.sherdog.com/stats/upr_styles_current.asp (current ratings of fighting styles) and http://www.sherdog.com/stats/upr_styles_alltime.asp (all time ratings of fighting styles).\n\nIntrestingly enough, BJJ is "the ultimate method" in the eyes of an American, just as Sambo is the ultimate method in the eyes of a Russian, shoot wrestling is the ultimate method in the eyes of a Japanese, Muai thai is the ultimate method in the eyes of a Thai national and Amature wrestling is the ultimate spoiler in the eyes of most.\n\nListen, Mitsuyo Maeda (the teacher of the Gracie Family) was a prize fighter/judoka/catch wrestler from Japan. It's through his teachings that the art was born. BJJ owes it's very existence to Judo.\n\nAnd, let's not forget the Kimura-Gracie match in which Judoka Kimura defeated the legendary grandmaster Helio Gracie. Even  the unstoppable Rickson Gracie was stopped by the President of USA Judo until 2008, Dr. Ron Tripp. Plus, Hidehiko Yoshida seems to have taken it to Royce Gracie in the draw they had.\n\nThe thing is that when the time has come to test their skills against the best in Judo, BJJ has never been able to step up like Catch wrestling did (AD Santel, NWA lightheavyweight champ defeated evey judoka the Kodokan threw his way and was the self proclaimed World judo Champ from 1914-1921). By piting grandmasters against mere black belts is going to prove little for BJJ.\n\nAnd, Judo does'nt take all of eight years to learn like BJJ does. Plus it's recognized by FILA as the fourth form of widely practiced amature wrestling in the world.\n\nHowever, Judokas have never participated in MMA compared to BJJ or shoot wrestling practitoners. There have been very few "champion" judokas (I can only think of Naoya Ogawa at the moment, he's done pretty good though) who actually have stepped up to prove their craft in MMA. Even with the dearth of participants to represent the art, you can check out for yourself at http://www.sherdog.com/stats/upr_styles_current.asp the rating of Judo and Sambo/Judo.\n\nAnyways, Fedor Emelianeko practices Sambo/Judo, if a Gracie can beat him their craft will be proven to be the best. Until then, Oh well.\n\nAnd the most effective system, if you want my opinion, is shoot wrestling (any of it's derivatives will do, the main derivatives are shootfighting, shooto, RINGS submission fighting, Combat Submission Wrestling, Pancrase and Submission Fighting Japanese style. However in the US, you'll come across shooto and shootfighting the most). It does'nt take eight years to learn and covers lower body submissions, hard takedowns, takedown defence, kicks, punches and other aspects neglected by Gracie jiu Jitsu. The sucsess of guys like Frank Shamrock (knocked out Ceaser Gracie in what ?? 21 seconds), Kazushi Sakuraba (the Gracie hunter), Matt Hughes (about to bury Royce Gracie at UFC 60) and countless other world beaters is attributed to this style.


I LOVE JESUS AND I HAVE ACCEPTED HIM AS MY SAVIOUR..SO DONT MISSUNDERSTAND ME..

Satan is also known as the "Prince of the World" which means Satan was given the temporary control over this world on Earth by God.  Remember that bet Satan made with God?  Read the Book of Job.  God allowed this arrogant Fallen One to do as he wishes upon Earth as the Test of Faith for those who are close to God.\n\nAs we can see from the Christian Bible, Satan has been constently beaten by those of strong faith.


I broke up with my GF 2 yrs ago. I still love her. I've been with other girls but it's not the same. Should I call her and tell her how I feel Or shoud I just move on??

The question is does she love you back?  How long were you dating before you broke up?  Me?  I had a relationship for 7 years and I still love him but we grew apart.  I realize now that I love the idea of being with the person I once knew.  If you have not spoken to her in 2 years, she is probably not the person you fell in love with anymore.  I would err on the side of moving on!  Nothing will ever be the same as the relationship that you had with this person.  I guarantee it.  But don't let that close your heart to new and better relationships.  Use what you had with her as a learning experience.  Don't compare her to the other women you date.  That is a fatal mistake.  I know its hard ,but you have to move on with your life in your mind, your spirit and your body.  Please don't hold your relationship with her on a pedestal.  Clear your heart and keep moving!\n*Muah*


i have a personnel organizer  (ACER) i broke the styer (Look like a pen) it broke off the top of the styer and i cannt put it back in the organizer becacse it will get stuck in it\ndo you think i have to get another styer and where would i get one other than the internet

You could get a new stylist or you can easily use a pen or pencil. I like to use the click-stlye pens and just use the tip when the pen is not sticking out (if you know what I mean).\n\nIF you wanted to get a new one, go to a computer store where they sell organizers, Media Play, Best Buy, Circut City, Dell Computers, anywhere like that. They can usually sell you a new one as an accessory.\n\nGood luck and don't let it get stuck!

I noticed it differs from a few cents every minute. What causes the price to keep changing? I'm new at this!

Here's a synopsis of a college course in Econ 101. The answer is that "Supply and Demand" determines price in a free market.\n\nIn the very short term, which you were watching, there are thousands of traders like myself, witht heir fingers poised over the Buy button or Sell button to be hit when certain conditions are met. You are seeing the result of the those button pushers. When many people collectively Buy the same stock, the price goes up, and when many more people sell than there are buyers, the price goes down. \n\nThat's really all there is to it, at least, within the realm of your question.

My boyfriend whom I moved to a new state with to start our lives together is now in jail. He's been locked up for almost a month. It's not for sure how long he'll be there, could be a few months and probation or up to a year and a half. Should I wait for him and try to help me get himself together or should I just try to move on.

No person is worth waiting around for who is in jail.  They will only bring you down or get you in trouble later.  There are a ton of people out there who will love you all the same that aren't in jail and won't get you arrested later.

You are entitled to your opinion just as I am to mine.  I like her.  She really cares about the victims of crime.  I am sure having her fiance killed had a lot to do with how she feels about crime.

Rooney from Manchester United. He's not just a brilliant player who can dribble, shoot, pass and play in any position, he's also got fantasic desire to always fights to win.

What kind of lawsuits go to cout over discrimination in the workplace?

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; \nthe Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination; \nthe Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older; \nTitle I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments; \nSections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government; and \nthe Civil Rights Act of 1991, which, among other things, provides monetary damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination. \nThe U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces all of these laws.

in chicago \n13 or 14 years of age\nand do i have to be in high school\nand how much do i get paid


I'm against: death penalty and corporal punishment, religious intrusism in the schools/ high schools / university, the partisan use of the media, \n\nI support: hybrid and non contaminating vehicles, civil gay marriages and rights, free speeches including controversial ones, capitalism and individualism (but taking care of our co-citizens) system, universal and free national health system, more hard punishments to those who infringe the law, the integration of the inmigrants and the official recognition of English, Spanish, Chinese and other important languages. Secure the borders. The spread of the culture.

Liberal and conservative are just labels.  In fact they are dualistic labels, like good/evil, right/wrong, smart/stupid, etc.  Frankly I am tired of dualistic thinking (not to say you are doing this), it is quite simpleminded.  Things are much more complicated than black/white.\n\nI am a Californian living in France.  Growing up I always thought of myself as leftwing to moderate.  Now that I live here in France I can see how complicated labels can be.\n\nLet me break it down:\n\nSocially I could be called liberal; I believe in equal rights and opportunities, against death penalty, separation between church and state, and I even think marijuana should be decriminalized.  We likely have much in common, not totally, but I imagine that we vote similarly.\n\nIn America I could be called liberal when referring to economic policies; I believe in universal health care, social security, unemployment benefits, worker rights, etc.\n\nOk here is the twist; in France they don't know what to call me.  I appear to be liberal for the reasons I described above, but then I believe in polices like affirmative action.  In France affirmative action is considered right wing!  And then there are my observations on the French social security policies, which I believe to be way too left wing (far too liberal).  \n\nFor example, if you are a worker in France, 1. you have major union protections, 2. you can't be fired/laid-off, 3. if your are fired/laid-off you can sue your employer and win a years salary, or even get your job back, 4. you get incredible unemployment insurance (85%) of your former salary, and 5. once that runs out after several years; you get what is called RMI.  RMI is a minimum stipend from the government that equals income from a minimum wage job!\n\nIt sound too good to be true!  But the reality is that all these protections make employers very cautious with hiring.  This means high unemployment rates.  And loads of people take advantage of the system.  People travel the world on these benefits.  Others just sit around and get drunk and (or) high.\n\nFor me to say this in France, I would be labeled "right-wing".  But on many other levels I am left.  I confuse the hell out of the French, but I also confuse the hell out of Americans, for example; I believe in mandatory military service for all 18 year olds.\n\nSo anyway, am I right or wrong, black or white, liberal or conservative?  These words are tools for communication, but mistakenly many people use them as identities.\n\nI don't like labels because it is always way more complicated then the label explains.\n\nHow about this for a label: Moderate?


I could probably come up with a list, but I think it would violate the bandwith guidelines for Answers.\n\nActually found this. It's a pretty good list of Seinfeld girlfriends, most with reasons for the break-up.\nhttp://www.seinology.com/lists/list-jerry.shtml


AMERICANS, have we have sat on our butts for so many years that we are going to allow a foreign country (MEXICO) to set the laws in America because we are too dam lazy to stand up for what is ours. Once they pass a law for open immigration we have allowed the invasion to continue and will not be able to stop them. Are we really willing to do nothing and give up our Country to MEXICO. Our American Men and Women have given their lifes for us and this country so we can just do nothing and let MEXICANs tell us what laws will be inforced in our on Country. Americans stand-up, speek-up, if they protest or ralley so should we. We should speek out loud and clear, and let our elected politicians remember who put them in their office and who can remove them from that same office. These times are getting scary we need to act NOW!!!

I totally agree with you . The crime continues to go up and our schools are over populated as is . Our rights as Americans are going to crap ! If the Americans are the people and we are the voice then why allow such things to happen to our homelands ? People are to lazy or dont want to be the one who gets picked out as the one to be heard but , they are the first to complain ! Our nation is falling to pits as we speak whats next ? Our children have less and less chance to become prosperious in our own country when we allow things like this to happen . Naturally you want to protect your children from the evils of the world correct ? Then take a stand  , be a voice speak out for the rights we have as Americans . Our freedom is going and befor it is gone we need to come together and say WE the People have had enough! We dont want war , we dont want illgeals , we dont want more crime , we dont want more over crowded school and highways , we dont want these people to come in and take whats rightfully ours . This could mean more taxes , more money the states have to sink into unemployment , more  welfare . Drugs are easy enough to find on our streets allow these people to come in with their ways of living will send United States into a HOLE! These people come here make our money , take our jobs and infect our lives with smut and if you dont have the courage to stand up for whats your then  it is sad . Say No ! Stand in the gap for those who are lazy and just dont care ! Write letters send emails , tell everyone where you stand ! Be proud of who you are and where you live !


There is a lot of controvercy over tupac's death and a lot of un answered Q's...Do you think hes alive or dead? Why or Why not?

Definetly ALIVE!\n\n Friday the 13th is a very suspicious day.  \n\nThere were never any pictures released of Tupac in the hospital.  \n\nIn the song "Life Goes On", Tupac raps about his own funeral.  \n\nThe driver of the car in which Tupac was riding, Suge Knight (the executive producer of Death Row Records), didn't show up for questioning about the shooting.  \n\nThe video "I ain't Mad at Cha" was released only a few days after his death. "I ain't Mad at Cha" is track 13 on the album All Eyes On Me. The video shows Tupac as an angel in heaven.  In the video, Tupac was shot after leaving a theater with a friend, which is very similar to how he was shot in real life. Interestingly, Tupac dies in his last video released under the name "Tupac".  His new video "Toss It Up" from the new album was released under the name "Makaveli". \n\nThe second video to be released by the name Makaveli is "To Live and Die in L.A." But how could they shoot the second video when he is "dead". Do you really think the video was shot 4 months ago, back in August of '96? Think about it. \n\nIn the video "Hail Mary" released under the name Makaveli, there is a gravestone that says Makaveli.  But the gravestone is cracked and there is a hole right in front of it, inferring that Makaveli rose from the dead.  \n\nA shooting involving Snoop Doggy Dogg occured close to the release of his album Doggystyle.  The shooting made Snoop appear more "real" and showed his fans that he really was a gangsta.  The shooting gave him respect because everyone that bought his album believed what he was talking about.  Within one week of its release, Doggystyle went platnium.  Snoop is signed to the same label as Tupac which is Death Row Records. In December '96, Tupac's new album went platinum.  \n\nIn interviews prior to the shooting, Tupac talked about how he wanted to stop rapping and being a gangsta and get out of the limelight.  What is the only way Tupac could completly escape the media spotlight ???  (Answer: if the public thought he was dead.)  \n\nThere are no suspects for the shooting. \n\n Press wasn't going to be allowed at the funeral, but then the funeral was cancelled for unknown reasons.  \n\nTupac always wore a bulletproof vest, no matter where he went.  Why didn't he wear it to a very public event like a Tyson fight? (Because he wanted to make it seem like he could be shot.)  \n\nIn most of his songs he talks about being buried, so why was he allegedly cremated the day after he "died"?  And since when do they cremate someone the day after death without an autopsy?  Furthermore, it is illegal to bury someone who has been murdered without an autopsy.  \n\nThe new Tupac album released on Nov. 5, and was originally supposed to be an EP of 6 songs, but was then extended to a full length album of 12 songs.  \n\nTupac's alias is Makaveli. Though the spelling is different, Machiavelli was a 16th century italian philosopher who advocated the staging of one's death in order to evade one's enemies and gain power.  \n\nIn Machiavelli's book Discourses Upon the First Ten Books of Titus Livy, in Book 2 Chapter XIII he says "a prince who wishes to achieve great things must learn to deceive".  This is Machiavelli's main idea and is the connection between Tupac and the writings of Machiavelli.  \n\nThe title of the new album by Makaveli (Tupac) is The 7 Day Theory.  He was shot on September 7th; and survived on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and"died" the 13th. Hence the title The 7 Day Theory.  \n\nTupac's album All Eyes on Me was released on Feb.13, 1996.  Tupac "died" on Sept.13, 1996.  It is quite a coincidence that the two dates are exactly 7 months apart.


I know there are asteroids wich vary in shape but it seems all planets and their satelites or moons are oval, why is this the preferred shape of heavenly bodies. I have an idea but no true answer

This is because of their centre of gravity.\n\nAll of their constituent mass is  pulled with an even force into the centre of the object....thus the surface of the celestial body is equidistant from the centre...ie. almost spherical.\n\nMany are in fact oval due to the fact that they spin around. This moves some of the mass to the equator of the object....rightly due to centrifugal force.


I feel pretty\nOh so pretty\nI feel pretty and witty and gay\nAnd I pity\nAny girl who isn't me today\nI feel charming\nOh so charming\nIt's alarming how charming I feel\nAnd so pretty\nThat I hardly can believe I'm real\n\nSee the pretty girl in that mirror there\nWho can that attractive girl be?\nSuch a pretty face\nSuch a pretty dress\nSuch a pretty smile\nSuch a pretty me!\n\nI feel stunning\nAnd entrancing\nFeel like running and dancing for joy\nFor I'm loved\nBy a pretty wonderful boy!\n\n(Girls)\nHave you met my good friend Maria\nThe craziest girl on the block?\nYou'll know her the minute you see her\nShe's the one who is in an advanced state of shock\n\nShe thinks she's in love\nShe thinks she's in Spain\nShe isn't in love\nShe's merely insane\n\nIt must be the heat\nOr some rare disease\nOr too much to eat\nOr maybe it's weed\n\nKeep away from her\nSend for Chino!\nThis is not the Maria we know!\nModest and pure\nPolite and refined\nWell-bred and mature\nAnd out of her mind!\n\nMiss America! Speech!

what help can children with special needs get or are entitled in light of childcare

sometimes there are clubs designed specifically for children with special needs...in england we have a theatre group called "SHED" i think which works mainly with special needs children...i duno if you are in england but ifnot you might have something similar in your area...that way you get free time to study and your kid gets to do something they might enjoy.


i like talking about sex. of course there are times that just aren't appropriate and if you catch me in those times i'm gonna dis you bad. it's all about timing and getting her to open up. and guys don't ever start a pm with a sexual line unless you are married to the female cause you are gonna get iggied or played for a fool at best.


im tired of only being able to cum once and my girl can go and go and go and go and go,  jesus!!!

Greetings,\n\nMen can.  The reason most men can't is simply because they are either too eager to please themselves, or don't have enough practice.\n\nAfter a man ejaculates he will begin to lose erection, however with stimulus and practice, he can regain his erection and go again.\n\nThe good news is practicing is fun.\n\n-matt


we already did the whole dinner and a movie thing so what should we do tonight? he wants me to decide and i have no idea what to do.

Did you pay attention during the last date? Maybe he mentioned something he's into that you could enjoy as well. It makes for an interesting evening and lets him know that you were listening. It doesn't have to be an evening date. It also depends on how the last date went and how much you are into each other already.


Secret Wars came out in May 1984 and was completed in April 1985. This was a 12 part series, monthly issue, more pages than a normal monthly comic book. One of the best of Marvel Comics! If you're a fan, you must read SECRET WARS!

I read Secret Wars as it came out, and found it quite enjoyable.  I was, after all, a kid, and the notion of all those heroes and villains together in one series was very exciting.  Spider-Man getting a new costume?  Awesome!\n\nI read it again last year, and needless to see, it didn't hold up well at all.  Hokey dialogue, terrible art in places, and a contrived plot that had more holes in it than one of my moth-eaten shirts up in attic.  That said, there were still some entertaining parts, not the least of which being Doom's contstant comedic foil, Klaw.  His incoherent babblings caused Doom to utter perhaps the greatest line of the series:  "So. I've created a madman. SIGH."


i dont have problem with my girlfriend dedicating all her time to school, but am i wrong to believe that there has to be sometime that she can spend with me.  basically what i am saying is that i love her and can wait for her to finish nursing school. we talked abt it this past weekend and she said that she still loves me and wants to be with me. i feel the same but i hate not spending time with her like i used to. if anyone has any advice please help...

my bf and i are going through this right now. i'm going to school and he is working so its hard for us to spend much time together. what is really important is to set aside time that is just for the two of you. make your relationship just as important as anything else you would do. its hard at first to make the time but it will help out the relationship a lot.

need this for a school project. Please tell me your favorite color from the rainbow. Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green, or Purple. Thanks. \n\nAdditional Details\n\nApr 5, 2006 at 5:23 am\nPlease tell others about my question. I need as many responses (sp?) as possible. My teacher wants us to try to get 50 or more.

I don't think you can choose a favorite, it takes all of them to make the rainbow beautiful.


like what you do first then second then later..... \nlike\n1. get all the cloth off\n2. do what and do waht\nbut i want full information...\nand how long you do

The only way to really find out is to dive right in to it. And thinking too much about it will only make you feel akward doing it. After you're done make sure your clothes are on right.


Should we all be using GM technology? \n\nIs Yao Ming the model of how we should be? \n\nThey are doing it in China - should it be done in other countries as well? \n\nIs having a GM player on your basketball team similar to having a team member using steriods - should it be banned? Would this then interfere with the GM person's human rights?

I dont believe that Ming is genetically modified. I just thought that his parents were more or less chosen to reproduce with one another in order to produce the very tall offspring that is Yao Ming. I'm pretty sure they didnt modify his body genetically. (mixing your information up could be the reason nobody had answered your question yet.)


There seems to be some dispute. His sword, which is in the memorial in Scotland is 5'6" and weighs 9 lbs. They say that he would have to be AT LEAST 6'6" to wield it. What do you think?

It is a well known FACT that William Wallace was only 5" 3" tall and weighed approximately 120 lbs.  He used optical illusion to make himself appear larger than actual.  \n\nFor upcoming battles Wallace would assemble two armies, one of men and one of children.  With opposing forces off in the distance, Wallace would ride his Shetland Pony back and forth in front of the children and "rally" them.  \n\nAs the opposing army approached, the children would run down the back of the hill and hide while the army of men ran forward (while screaming wildly) to be seen by the opponent.\n\nWallace's stunt double, Loopy O'Doul, a man-child of gargantuan proportions would take Wallace's place by riding up the hill on a great steed while wearing makeup to hide his face.\n\nWallace's fame as a great leader is obviously overrated.


He seems like a great guy. He told me that it doesnt matter that i have a child with someone else. He says he likes me and it doesnt matter that i already have a baby. I dont know if he is lying or not. What is your advice?

Maybe he is for real...not everyone is a liar and a cheat or has a hidden agenda.Just dont rush into anything.\n\nI met my a guy almost 7 years ago in an internet chatroom.\n\nWe are still best pals and.....happily married :)


How does a civilization spread? What practices or methods are used to spread it?? I've already got war and trade, any other ideas?

Diplomacy/Influence - a small nation state may be influenced to ally with and then become an integral part of the larger civilization due to the advantages - benefitting from medical advances (etc).


This is a common sentiment echoed throughout history but my favourite quote on the subject is from a Bob Dylan song and he wrote,"You don't know what you got 'til its gone."


I am not a "techie" so try to use small words if possible.

Bluetooth is a technology which allows two devices to communicate to each other without the use of wires. \n\nSince it works on radio frequency (RF), the two devices need not be in "Line of Sight" of each other, unlike "Infrared" devices (your TV remote for example), which, in most cases, need to be pointed towards the device to make it work.\n\nThe range of typical Bluetooth devices is about 8-10 meters but varies if there are interfering factors (e.g. your microwave).\n\nBluetooth is widely in use in mobile phones which provide wireless connnectivity to laptops, wireless headsets, even to other mobile phones.\n\nIf you want to know more, visit https://www.bluetooth.org/.


We are so meant to be! And I think he still has feelings for me but he doesnt want to admit it! The girl he is now with doesnt like him anymore but afraid to tell him. I think we were meant to be! I just wish I could get him to like me again! So what do I do now? I have ran out of ideas can someone please help me?

I have been in the situation before and it worked out for the best. I got the courage to sit down with the guy and talk to him about my feeling but i didnt sound despert to him i just told him that i think we are made for each other and that i still loved him a lot. I told him the truth and after i told him he got the courage to say what his feelings are and he said that he still loved me 2. I know its hard to step up and be the first to say what you feel like, but if you do it might just work out. Good luck


like with a free software program or such?

yes. a program called dvdSanta does a nice job.


I have weak knees.  Will exercise help rebuild the cartlidge that I have lost?

Exercise can not rebuild cartilage.  WHat exercises can do is to help strengthen the muscles around the knees so that they support the knees well during physical activity.


Has anyone seen the movie"Big Fish"and if so what did you like/dislike about it?

I have seen it and bought it. Everyone knows someone (usually grandpa or uncle somebody) who embellishes thier tales. Those individuals always go against the grain of those who "tell all of the facts with none of the flair" (quote from Edward Bloom). I found it very entertaining for one, and for two, it was a nice insight into the struggle of the father/son relationship where the son was so focused on the absurdity of the tales, that he missed the beauty in his father's personality. The ending was the best!


In the movie, one of their names is Shabadoo. Does anybody remember this  movie?

Ok....in part one and two of this continuing question the majority of you believe the Wal-Mart greeter and the Brain Surgeon will make a lovely couple. Romance being the magical thing that it is has led them both to the altar. Do you think Mr.Wal-Mart + Ms.Brain Surgeon will truely live happily ever after?

Sure!  Opposites attract!  Mr. Walmart greeter is used to being happy and kissing butt and Ms Surgeon is used to having her butt kissed so they should live happily ever after!


no it don't mean that. the gurl dosen't come out in say i think you are attractive to me. you have to ask some questions in then ask her out or something.


there are some efforts going on to bring mammoth to life by using its frozen sperm. with an african elephant. as far as cloning goes i dont have any idea.


Is ebay still a good way to make money how does someone get started is jewelry a good thing to sell what if you have little money to start.

Jewelry is a very competitive arena in eBay. You need to have an established reputation in the community, great closeup photos, certificate of authenticities, etc. You have to understand that ebay is not a sure thing -- just look at the number of listings that end without a single bid and you will see that ebay can become very expensive (you keep on paying ebay listing fees but you may not sell anything).\n\nOne way to succeed on eBay is to know what the HOT products are. eBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.


Also, generally speaking, is York as good as UofT?

Honestly, they're about the same.  The unfortunate thing is that i don't think York gets enough recognition because it doesn't bear the name "Toronto".\nI go to U of T in Mississauga, and our math program is not AMAZING, but it's alright.  I've heard good things about the Math prog downtown.  Keep in mind there is a third U of T campus in Scarborough.\n\nWaterloo is prestigious in all its departments, especially computer science, and that requires a lot of math.  If you could choose one of the three, i would go with Waterloo.  Consider MacMaster too.\n\nGood luck!

Is there anything perverse about having a trusted friend film a man and wife making love so we have a record of when we were fit and horny for future years? Serious question.

is Switzerland a schengen state? can a non-EU national use a schengen visa to enter Switzerland?

Sorry dear but Switzerland is not one of the schengen states which includes:Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.\n\nSwitzerland is not yet a member of the EU(European Union) so to go there you need thier visa.\n\nGood Luck!!!


Ever since i have hit that time when a girl becomes a women I have had strech marks on my breast i have no clue what to do and i have terrible self-confidence issues about it.

I have experienced this in the past.  All it means is that your breasts are growing (through gaining weight or becoming pregnant, etc.) and your skin is not elastic enough to accomodate the extra growth.\n\nTry using Mederma on it each day.  It will help to reduce the marks and prevent new ones from coming.  Don't worry, the red stretch marks will fade to the color of the rest of your skin.


A few super leftist wackos my assert this but most people, left or right, agree that there is no "right" to nuclear bombs.\n\nSo, if we agree there is no "right" then what is to be done in terms of the reaction from the international community? No action is de facto endorsement of the right and any future condemnation of new nuclear states would be worthless.\n\nDONT CONFUSE THIS INQUIRY WITH THE SEPARATE ISSUE OF WHETHER CHINA OR AMERICA "SHOULD" HAVE THEM. If you start going the "Russia has em, America has em" route your stupid. I am not endorsing anyones possession of them and if I could be sure that no one else could have them, given the power, i would fully dismantle and rid America of the bomb.\n\nThis QUESTION DEALS WITH MORE NUKES. CAN WE AGREE LESS NUKES ARE BETTER? IF WE CAN, THEN WE DONT WANT NEW PLAYERS TO GET NEW NUKES AND THEREBY INCREASING PROBABLITIES OF NUCLEAR EXCHANGES. \n\nIf China adds another nuke, thats not good, but the probablity of nuclear war is no greater.

Look the thing that binds nuclear disarmament internationally is the Non-proliferation Treaty.  It's an agreement that allows for countries (even Iran) to engage in peaceful nuclear research for the purposes of nuclear power among other things.  It is also widely violated by Israel and by India (which was basically told in an agreement with the US that it could build as many nukes as it wanted).  \n\nNow, I'll give you the no country has the right to a nuke, but then the question goes to any nation seeking the bomb, "By what right can the US decide that India can build nukes but we cannot?"  And I'm not necessarily talking about Iran here.  Pakistan is pissed that India gets access to US nuclear technology but IT DOESN'T.  \n\nAnother problem is that once a country gets the bomb, like say North Korea, the US stops its Sabre rattling.  Iraq had to be invaded because Saddam could have been working on the bomb say the talking heads.  Well North Korea (hardly an improvement IMHO) did get the bomb and what happened?  Talks.  That sends a strong message to many a regime unfriendly to the US I think.  \n\nAs for if China adds another nuke, well, you really don't understand much about China's nuclear program.  They don't really have many nukes and have no real second strike capability, but if they were to turn their burgeoning economy and pour it into their nuclear inventory, and developed a second strike capability, they would be a much more serious threat to the US.


I WANT TOP 5 REASONS WHY YOU DON"T CALL BACK A GUY AFTER HAVING SEX... PS DON"T USE THE FOLLOWING ANGLES BECAUSE I"VE RULED THEM OUT:\n1. The sex was bad\n2. The guy was too pushy into sex - she was the initiator.\n3. Didn't like him - We were already friends before having sex.\n4. There's another dude on the side- possibly... \n\nBut are there any other reasons I'm missing??????????

She's freaked out that it's getting serious. She may be in the habit of keeping emotionally distant. Good at being intimate sexually, but when there's the possibility  to add a relationship into the mix, she may freak out and be distant. Her attempt to push you away to make sure doesn't get too serious.


The graphs are y=3x(squared)-4, y=-2x(squared), y=5x(squared)\nWhen i mean explain how I mean  where in the equation does it tell you that it will have a vertex of (0,0)? Please help me.

The first two answers are completely wrong. The fact that (0, 0) satisfies the equation only means (0, 0) is a point on the parabola, not that it is also the vertex of the parabola. For example, plugging (0, 0) into y = (x - 1)^2 - 1 yields a true equation because the point is on the graph, but the vertex of the parabola is the point (1, -1)!\n\nRemember that if you have a function y = f(x), then y = f(x - k) for some constant k is just the graph of f(x) shifted k units to the right (see what happens to f(k) and f(0) when you subtract k from the argument).\nSimilarly y = f(x) + j will be the graph of f(x) shifted upwards by j units.\nNow, a parabola with vertex at the origin has function f(x) = hx^2 for some scaling constant h. The forms we are looking for are then y = h(x - k)^2 + j where the vertex will have been moved to (k, j). Thus, we just need to adjust our equations to the form above and read (k, j) off of them.\nFor example, your first equation is y = 3x^2 - 4. Adjusted to the form above, we get y = 3(x - 0)^2 + (-4). Thus (k, j) = (0, -4), so this graph's vertex is not at the origin.


My name is Andrew. Iam 13 years old, 165 cm tall, and 70 kg. I want to be tall, at least 185cm. Can I?

from your description you appear stout but you will certainly be able to add more height to your 165cm over the next 3-5 years. whether you can add another 20cm will depends on your hormones, diet and lifestyle. eating well with high protein food and playing games (especially those that allow you to stretch, like swimming, basketball) should help you grow to your dream height. but, andrew, even if you do not, it is not the end of your happiness. lots of guys shorter than you are very happy. it is who you are, your personality and love for life that attract you to others and others to you. enjoy life. you have many good years ahead.

I was driving on the highway when there was a traffic jam on the right lane, i wanted to change lanes but didnt mean to cut someone off by accident. Nothing happened but i fear i can be reported or sued for reckless driving.

No, if you didn't cause an accident there is no reason to sue you.  If a cop didn't see you most likely you will not get a ticket.\n\nWhat I mean is, if a cop saw you make an illegal lane change they can send you a ticket in the mail.  If no one saw you then you will not get a ticket.


the question is found on surveying books

A surveyor's transit basically consists of a telescope mounted to a platform through vertical and azimuth rotary joints. The platform is mounted on a tripod which is adjusted to level the platform, using a plumb bob. Protractor scales on the rotary joints enable measurement of the elevation and azimuth of a marker viewed through the telescope. Thus one can determine relative angular separation between two marker readings, and knowing the distance to marker(s) allows calculation of slopes. Some transits include a magnetic compass. The ref. shows some antique transits.

I have several credit cards from years ago that i can not afford to pay on, at all! They say i should just file bankruptcy, but i can't afford a lawyer to do that, what do i do?

First let me say DO NOT use a credit counseling service.  They charge extremely high fees and your first payment goes directly to them, NOT your creditors.  Which means by the time they get your payment plan set up, you're another month behind.  Also they don't do anything that you can't do on your own.  They merely call your creditors and request an extension, lower payments, or a lower interest rate.  All things you can accomplish on your own with a telephone and some motivation.\n\nSecond, although it is highly recommended, you do not need an attorney to file bankruptcy.  You can purchase the forms you need at any office supply store.  The cost of filing varies from state to state, but is generally a few hundred dollars ($100-$200).\n\nAn attorney is helpful to explain the laws, your best options, and walk you through the meeting of creditors.\nAny good attorney will also let you make payments on his fees for filing.  \n\nI filed Chapter 7 in 2001 and paid $400 total.  My attorney allowed me to make payments to him in 3 installments.  However he would not file my bankruptcy until the total was paid in full.\n\nIf you do choose to seek out an attorney, interview several before committing.  Good ones should allow for a free consultation and not make you feel ashamed or embarrased.  He/She should speak to you like an adult and educate you on your options without passing judgement.\n\nIn terms of the aftermath of bankruptcy on your credit, most creditors allow you to rebuild your credit almost immediately after the bankruptcy is discharged (about 3 months after you file).  Mortgages companies allow you to qualify for great rates after two years, as long as you have successfully reestablished your good credit.\n\nIf you can get a parttime job to assist you in paying down your debt, I suggest reading these books to determine the best approach to take:\n\nPay It Down by Jean Chatsky\nThe Automatic Millionaire by David Bach\n\nAlso check out the money section of msn.com.  There is great information and advice on the site.\n\nHope this helps!


In the movies Jarhead, the vietnam war veteran who enters the bus near the end of the movie says this term, and in Doom before the Rock and Reaper go at it in hand to hand combat, The rock says it too. I'm assuming its something used by the marines since thats what both movies had in common. What does it mean, and why or how is it used and is it spelled correctly?

the correct Military Jargon for that is "Semper Fi" which is Short for Semper Fidelis which is Latin for "Always Faithful". Semper Fi is the USMC Motto. it is used to modivate marines to get the job done to full excellence to be commited to the purpose and never leave the purpose unresolved.In that one word Marines can say Hello, how are you, Hoorah brother, and godspeed.My Brother is a Marine. Hoorah is like a super modivational word. Inspires the heart and soul of a marine to strive for excellence. Sometimes when you see a marine begin to get irratated with the task at hand he will shout a big HOOORAH!!!! and strive for perfection at that task.


They've been persecuted since the beginning of time and the word itself is always used in a derogative way...

The main reason is that they were marked as 'the ones who killed Christ'. So, in Western Europe, \n(1) they were restricted in the jobs they could take; they became the only financiers and moneylenders; so when a King wanted to get rid of all the debts, he just had to kick out the Jews. \n(2) Ideal scapegoats. Want to deflect the blame about a terrible drought? The Jews did it! They killed Christ! Punishment from God!


Do girls like more secretive guys, or guys who express their true feelings?And how can you tell between being confident, and too confident?

girls don't really go much on secretive guys  cause we think that they are up to no good... and too confident is when you are just way too cocky .. you laugh at your own jokes too much.. you think everyone thinks your hot .. you have a bad attitude towards people who may not be as rich or good looking as you.. confident is when you are pretty happy with the type of person you are and you are considerate of others

i have been with the same guy since i was in highschool it's been about seven years now we have a 2 year old together and are engaged. the wedding is being postponed by me because i feel nothing for him anymore or not like i used to atleast.  I'm constantly dreaming of moving on because i'm unhappy but don't want to give up the life we created together. HE is so good to me the best father and provider i feel like i can't give him what he needs. \ni'm making my self stay for our daughter and hopes of things getting better in the future. is this the right thing to do? is anyone TRULY happy in their relationships or do people just make the best of them?

My story is very much like yours\nI fell in love with my high school sweety\nwe dated for five years, I got pregnant at the same time I wasn't feeling all that in love anymore.\nI married him because I knew it was the right thing to do.\nI struggled for years, not feeling the love for him that I knew I should.\nOur relationship sucked, but he was good to me, totally loved me, was an awesome father and good honest man.\nIn our seventh year of marriage we went into counseling, I found out that I could tell him all of my feelings, hurts and disappointments I felt during our stressful marriage.\nHe cared and we both changed our hurtful behaviors.\nI found out that I always loved him, it just got buried under a ton of stress(having an unplanned child) and repressed hurts.\nAfter we spent a year in counseling, we both fell madly in love again and things were better than when we first met.\nMoral of this story - \nLove takes work\nLearn how to communicate with your man\nLove can go \nLove can come back\nWhen it does it can be better than it ever was\n\nGive yourself time and talk about your feelings\ndoing it with the help of a counselor will help you find your answer and gain greater intimacy with your fiance\nThis is a huge decision - its worth the investment


Has anyone here ever been attacked by a shark or knows anyone who has or has come\nclose to it? Please tell your stories!

My friend Shane loves to tell tales of his shark attack. It was off the coast of New Zealand and this massive shark came up and after a wild struggle it bit off a huge chunk from his body....that's his tale. The truth is a small shark bit off the end of his pinky finger. He really doesn't have the end of his finger anymore. But he has suddenly developed at fingernail on the new tip. Weird.

Want two so that I can connect in sereas.

One word of caution! The generators must be in phase for you to connect them in series and that will be nearly impossible to find in a small, commercial generator.  Without very tight control over each generators sync with the other, you could end up with anything from approx. double one generators voltage to the voltage of one generator alone and most likely fluctuating in between.  This will reek havoc on many things you may want to run with it and destroy lots of others outright. It could be done with the right electronics, engine and generator modifications and know how, but it would also be very expensive and time consuming.  If you need a 480V genny, it's much easier to find a used industrial engine welder or scavange one for its transformer.


I WANA KNOW EXACTLY WHATS DIFFERENCE ORDO AND FARSI DARI IN AFGHAN LANGUAGE ? BOTH ARE FARSI?

farsi is of course, what used to be called persian, and the national language of iran.  dari is a dialect of farsi, spoken in afghanistan.\nurdu is an entirely different langauge altogether.  in fact, urdu and hindi are the same language, but urdu is written in the arabic script, and hindi is written in the devenagari script.  the only difference is that urdu has many arabic words incorporated into it, because the speakers are muslim.  most of these arabic words are used in greetings, whereas in hindi, the greetings are associated with hinduism, etc.

I'm Cajun, and I was raised with only a handful of Cajun words and phrases in my vocabulary.  The only people I know who actually speak Cajun French are over 65.  And none of the young people are interested. Does anyone have a more optimistic view? Is the Cajun culture going to end up a small paragraph in a text book that noone cares about?

Before the Europeans arrived in what is now called North America, there were a number of indigenous peoples scattered over the land.  In the last three hundred and fifty years, many have been reduced to less than one hundred who speak their original tongue and some have become extinct, with little or no record.\n\nTo keep a culture alive. Get it recorded. Visit those old Cajuns with a recorder.  Ask questions, get them to tell stories.  Keeps notes on your work.  Who knows, in 1000 years someone will have wish that this was done now.\n\nIf you need help, get help.  The best I can do is prepare my gumbo with sassafras and crawdad.

I am working with VB6, instead of running *.exe file using shell command my VB application opens itself on running shell command.

This is the syntax of Shell command \n\nShell commandstring [, windowstyle]\n\nThe Shell function has 2 parameter, second parameter is optional:\n\ncommandstring :- Name of the program to execute and any required arguments or command line switches.  If the program name in commandstring doesn't include a .COM, .EXE, .BAT, or .PIF file extension, .EXE is assumed.\n\nwindowstyle :- Number corresponding to the style of the window in which the program is to be executed.  If windowstyle is omitted, the program is opened minimized with focus, the same as windowstyle = 2.\n\ndifferent values for second parameter\n\n1-Normal with focus.\n2-Minimized with focus (default).\n3-Maximized with focus.\n4-Normal without focus.\n6-Minimized without focus.\n\n\nI think you are making mistake in giving the first parameter properly


Now, I've been to indoor soccer games and they're alot of fun, what with the music blaring and being right there close to the action. But c'mon, outdoor soccer? You're miles away from the action, there's very little scoring, yaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnn, sorry, got sleepy just thinking about it. \n\nNow, I don't want all you Freddy Adu wanna-be's getting bent; I don't doubt you have to be in excellent physical condition. I mean, as a spectator sport, it's more fun watching old people cross a busy street-at least there's some potential action there.

Soccer is popular because of the tension that builds up during play.  Scoring a goal is like winning at chess.  The intricate strategy required to beat the offside trap and score while not being fouled or committing a foul is incredibly difficult.  So when someone scores, it's an incredible release and when you watch it you just go nuts.  Plus, the atmosphere at matches is incomparable.  Fans go crazy!  You just have to experience it to understand it.


Even after I JUST shaved my legs look like they have "stubble".  Is there anything out there to shrink the pore size?

unfortunately there is only one thing you can do here. . . Wax.  Waxing is the only thing that will make the hairs grow in thinner and more sparsely.  Also if you wait longer between waxings and shavings (I know it's kinda gross/uncomfortable sometimes) It will help the hair grow slower and thinner as well.

50% of questions I see here are easily answered with a simple Wikipedia search. Why do not more people simply use Wikipedia? Or hell, even a simple Yahoo or Google search. If you don't know about Wikipedia, just check out http://www.wikipedia.org It's a free online encyclopedia, with over one million articles on the widest range of topics you can think of. So, back to my question, Why do people not just do a simple Search?

Yes what you say is absolutely true. The fact however is that many people who use are relatively newcomers and are pretty naive about the intricacies involved. It takes time for them to learn and navigate themselves in this vast ocean of stuff for them to search including the Wiki. Yep I agree most of the questions could simply be got at the click of the mouse button using the search engines. I hope more people start searching for info by themselves and those who do not get the needed info could post questions for the community to try and answer.

pretty sure she died of natural causes but can't be sure of what exactly. might have been TB or something like that.i know her family were german-ated but thought she survived? maybe not.


It has already done major damage to my life. :(

I don't know how you feel about 12 step programs, but someone very close and dear to me did Gambler's Annonymous and it REALLY helped him. At first he was skeptical, especially because they talked about a "higher power" and he's not the religious type and didnt want to join some cult - but he found an idea of a higher power just as a better life that is meant for him that he can have if he gives himself over to it and there were all types of people there. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I can tell you that he has not only stopped gambling but he has a better relationship with his family, is dating and working, is a more open and honest person and just generally happier.\n\nIf anything it wouldn't hurt - you are not forced to stay if you dont want and you are not forced to pay money for it, so worth a try. \n\nI wish you the best!


where on the web can i download the .chd files to MAME games like area 51 and Carnevil?

The new version of the MAME arcade emulator plays several popular games from the modern era (post-1995) of arcade gaming: Area 51, Cruis'n USA, Cruis'n World, Vicious Circle and Maximum Force. The catch? The Area 51, Vicious Circle and Maximum Force ROM files are over 520 megs each, and Cruis'n USA requires a 4Ghz+ CPU to run at full speed. (In other words, you'll need a computer that runs at nearly twice the speed of today's high-end desktop PCs.)


On some web pages, the font is so small I can't read it.  Everything seems just a little bit smaller, and some things a LOT smaller.  Where are the controls for this?

On your desktop, right click, go to PROPERTIES, click SETTINGS and select 800x600 or whatever is right for you.\n\nThe smaller the numbers, the bigger the size. 1024x768 is standard but 640x480 will work too, though you'll have to scroll across to read.\n\n800x600 is your best bet.\n\nOR \n\nIf its just your web browser. Go to VIEW, and TEXT SIZE.


The bill is to be reviewed and acted on in the next few days. It would require illegal immigrants who have been in the United States between two years and five years to return to their home country briefly, then re-enter as temporary workers. They could then begin a process of seeking citizenship. \n\nIllegal immigrants here longer than five years would not be required to return home; those in the country less than two years would be required to leave without assurances of returning, and take their place in line with others seeking entry papers.

If they're here illegally, how do we know how long they've been here? Send them all South. Illegal = criminal! Adios!!


ok, this girl goes to my church and her name is emily. and she's 13. oh yeah, she's gay. and she flirts qith me. what she i do???

Of course you can. People can be any age and be gay, just like people can be homicidal maniacs when they're only 4. People are born with all kinds of different mental disorders and homosexuality is just one of them.


What does RSV mean in an infant. the chances of survival because I have heard differant things! please help

go to cdcs website if you are looking for exact statistics..\nhowever i have had two children who have had rsv... it affects children/infants in different ways.. only 20% actually have to be hospitalized for it and most of the time it is only for 1-2 nights. My secound child wa sonly 1 month old when he had it.. he spent 8 days in the hospital, however he did just fine...\nif your child is a premie or has any lung/heart problems.. there is a vactiation shot that they can give that doesn't keep them from geting rsv.. it makes it like a cold instead of a nasty bug needing hospitalization... the vacination is given in the months of nov-april... my infant even though he had already had it still received the shots up til last month.. they helped a lot... \n\nrsv is a viral infection.. cannot be treated with antibitotics.. it has a higher mortality rate in premes and children like my infant with lung/airway issues already.\n\nin experence with rsv... it isn't as deadly as you would think, however its one of those bugs not to think u can just fight off at home with ur little guy.. get them to the dr to be assessed for how bad it is\n\nmy first child only spent 1 night in the hospital for it\n\nhowever, i am saying this and i am a respiratory therapist that knows my pediatrian and had known her since before i had my children... i am the parent that gets sent home early from the hospital and told to treat a lot of stuff at home with the breathing treatments and cpt...\n\njust supportive care is all you can do.. treat the symptoms like a cold

I am trying to find anything good or bad about Primerica.

I'm an independent agent with that company. I did not join for them or for the guy who recruited me. I join for myself because I want to build something great for myself, which you normally can't do at a regular job. Anyway, if you join, you will face lots of tough challenges (like failing state exams, not making any money at the beginning, people not wanting to join you, people not wanting to do business with you) and it's going to make you want to quit. There is a $199 fee and the guy trying to recruit you maybe reluctant to tell you because it usually turns people away and they'll miss the opportunity they can have to build a better life for themselves.\n\nI think why most people think Primerica is a scam is because of the $199 fee. What they don't understand is that the guy who tried to recruit him/her also paid $199 and they never ask why that recruiter did it. $199 to start your own business in finance is a joke. It normally cost over $100,000 to a million to start and you need to get licensed, make sure your office is being compliant with state laws, make sure your workers are not doing anything illegal. Luckily at Primerica, all you have to worry about is getting licensed and let the company worry about everything else.\n\nI'm also a client at the company and I think their services is great. Even if I quit, I'll continue to do business with Primerica because they taught me things that no one else has. How great is it that a company that offers to help your finances and that they don't charge any fees to help you?\n\nSo I guess anything bad about Primerica is on the employment side. There's no salary, so commission payout is big (good income for part time). If you don't recruit, your business will never grow. You will face lots of mental challenges and rejections.


My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years. We recently (about a month ago) got in a huge fight because we are too 'serious' (we are college aged) and we broke up, but after like two hours he decided he missed me. Latly he has been acting really distant latly. He doesn't want to talk as much on the phone (we live in different towns) when I come visit he wants to hang out with the guys, or talks on the phone to his guy friends all the time... Any ideas on why he's being so distant? I've asked and he just says he is tired and needs some sleep.

He might be pulling the whole "distant and mean" routine in order to get you to initiate the break-up.  If your boyfriend is particularly lazy, I would bet that this is the case.\n\nThat being said, there is a good likelihood that he is simply at a junction in his life where he is having to divert some of his attention from you and put it on other things.  This happens from time to time and it is something you will have to come to deal with if you ever hope to forge a meaningful and long-lasting relationship with someone.


I have taken a few days off work now and plan to get a doctors note tuesday as soon as the doctors are open again but my mum thinks im going to get fired. Im worried as i cant face work as its a stressfull emergency service role but i dont want to loose my job. I just need some time.\nSome advice please :)

if your depression is seriously affecting your job performance, yes. if it's causing you to take more time off than you're supposed to have (check your employee handbook for your particular company's policies), yes. that said, you may want to talk to your company's HR and see if you might be eligible for some leniency; if your depression is going to require that you take off more & more time, inquire about the possibility of getting some flex time, or, if more drastic measures are required, a sabbatical or leave of absence.


Are they going to take my car? My title? Can I still drive it?

Just make the payments and it stays yours. Fail to do so and they will take your car, determine that it's not enough to cover the loan due to depreciation and then you will still owe them money! So pay it off! And if you do have a problem go to the bank and they might work with you by just letting you pay the interest for a month or two as it is cheaper for them to do so than reposses your car.


why is it more likely to find a girl that can be seduced by another girl?? but it's rarely to find a guy who is straight, yet can be seduced by the same sex! (i am not one of them i am pure heterosexual btw)

Because lesbians are more accepted in society than gay men.I believe that's because of  male fantasy of having two women together.


i have 2 and 1 pierceing just wondering what you got

4 tats..one i just got a cover-up done.  i had something that was a mistake to get.\n\nthen i got both nips pierced


I'm 23, soon to be 24.  My husband is turning 21 in a week.  We started dating when I was 22 and he was 19, and got married this past December.\n\nSometimes, when having conversations (example: we were talking about cartoons we watched when growing up), I said something to the extent of "Do you remember that, or is that before your time?" I said it in a joking way, but my husband WAS NOT amused.  He said something about if I thought he was too young or age was an issue, then why did we get married?  I thought it was all in good fun.  Is he being too sensitive or should I lay off the age jokes?  I think its important to note that I'm a very sarcastic person with a wild sense of humor, very outspoken, and I've been like this since day one!

Yes, you're like me and I married a younger man too.  But the age thing we've learned to make a joke of now - we were 29 and 31 when we met, so perhaps age has something to do with the way we handled it.\n\nI still refer to him as my toy boy sometimes, and tell him ke's got to keep fit in order to push me round in my wheelchair.\n\nGirls mature faster than boys, and I just think he has a little catching up to do.  But don't tell him that, whatever you do! ;-)


like how do u study continuously for 4 hours etc......

the easy answer is, plan ahead and don't leave all your studying to the last minute :-)\n\nIf you don't have other classes to work around, here is what I would suggest:\n\nT=9:00      Wake up, get ready for the day\nT=9:30    Grab breakfast to eat while you study\nT=9:45    Study for an hour\nT=10:45   Get up, stretch, use the bathroom\nT=11:00   Study for another hour\nT=12:00   Check email, go chat with friends, and otherwise take a break.  Get some lunch.\nT=12:30   Go to a different place to study.  Try the library, or a commons room.\nT=12:45   Study a new subject for two hours (if you have more than one to work on).\nT=2:45   Get up and find somewhere new to study you haven't been to yet today.  Grab a snack on the way.\nT=3:00   Study another two hours\nT=5:00   Break!  Spend an hour or two with friends, playing a game, or basically de-stressing\nT=6:00   Eat dinner, start gearing up to study again\nT=6:45   Make your way back to somewhere comfortable to study\nT=7:00  Settle in and study as long as you can stand\nT=10:00ish Get up, check email, move around, head back to your room if you're not there already\nT=10:30ish Bring your most boring study material to bed with you.  Read it until you fall asleep.  You'll either get lots read (good) or get plenty of sleep (also good) :-)\n\nThis assumes you have a full day, but this gives you a good 11+ hours of studying, and still time to eat, talk with your friends, and generally not go crazy.  It also gives you at least 9 hours of sleep at night, which will really help!\n\nStudying in multiple places throughout the day helps keep you from getting bored (and sleepy) while you work.  Also, if always study the same subjects in the same rooms, it really helps your brain absorb the information faster (strange, but true!).  If your test involves remembering a bunch of facts (like who painted each of these pictures, when, what techniques did they use, etc), study each thing (painting, in this case) in a different room.  Then when you get to the test you can see a painting and remember "Oh, I read that one while sitting in the stairwell.  That means it was painted in X year by so-and-so."  It helps you keep the information from getting all mixed up in your head!


The length of a rectangle is 5 cm more than 2 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 90 cm2, how do i find the dimensions of the rectangle to the nearest thousandth?

make x the width, and solve the two equations (the one given, and the one assumed about the rectangle where l*w=A)


One that is loving generous and kind? or one that is hateful vicious and cruel?

Since I am generous and nice to a fault.  I think I'd want the soul of a really bad, bad person.  I mean we all have dark desires.  I would love to, for one day only, be mean to EVERYONE.


No it is entirely natural and in my opinion a positive thing when done in moderation. It lets you explore your body and helps you discover that you enjoy. This will help you and your sexual partner find satisfaction because you will know what works best for you. Often it is recommended for women who are having problems reaching an orgasim with their partners. THey can find out what works and tell their partner. Sexuality is very important


how can we get more games televised... no one wants to watch the nhl not everyone gets cstv or espnu... why cant local abc cbs nbc fox networks localize baseball like they do football??? some say to many games but you dont have to feature every team.. whats wrong with top 25 or top 30 teams?

Doing it might work for some local affiliates, but it certainly wouldn't work on a national level. There simply isn't enough viewership (and therefore money) to get sponsorships for the games. I would think that a few cities with big college programs would get those games on TV somehow, but those would probably be the exception. You have to get enough money to pay for the TV crew to travel to the road games, and that expense adds up pretty quickly.


I really loved this boy i had a relationship with and we had a bad breakup. We are still friends like brother and sister but he has a baby on the way and that makes me upset because i miss him so much.

This is a very difficult situation especially if you still love the man.  The best advice I can give you is to make a psychological and personal decision as soon as possible. I don't know your exact situation, but if you still love this person and if he loves you, and you think there may be a chance to work things out, then you should try to do so by all means.  BUT, you need to think of this very seriously, because it sounds to me that your relationship with him may be something in the past. If this is the case, you MUST learn to get over him. This is very important, for your sake.  This is very difficult (I know from experience), and it can hurt to see the one you love with someone else. But if it is not going to work, you need to learn to move on and allow yourself to forget about him.  You need to realize that this isn't easy, and it will take time.  But if you keep thinking about him as a lover, you will always be tormented inside.  Go out, meet new people, get your mind off of him and with time I assure you that life will go on, and you will find happiness again. Good luck!


I am in love with a man for the last 5 years . He wants me to have a sex change operation so that he can marry me .

this question is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more detailed than your letin it be.


I came across the Yellow Bass which is Morone mississippiensis and the American Robin Turdus migratorius.  Are there other funny scientific names out there?

Starling - Sturnus vulgaris (how rude!)\nwestern meadowlark - Sturnella neglecta (how sad!)\nsavannah sparrow - Passerculus sandwichensis (how yummy!)\nThen there's the one that cracks me up even though it doesn't mean anything else in English: roseate spoonbill - Ajaia ajaja. The j's are pronounced like y's.\n\nSorry, I only know birds!


My hectic lifestyle is taking a toll on my health. I often feel a burning sensation in my stomach and chest?

Any body heard of AVG FREE EDITION? Ive got it, but every time i need to get an update it wont let me, the firewall is not on so i think thats not the problem, i have a wide band connection, any solutions on this?

First of all what firewall are you refering to ( windows firewall, zone alarm or another one ) If its the windows firewall, make sure to make an exception for avg to go through to allow it onto the internet, even if you do have it disabled, if it is zonealarm then it is still running and you need to get or let zone alarm to allow avg through the firewall. If you have a different firewall then you need to basically add it to the exception list of applications that you want to allow to go out to the internet.\n\nIf you need any help email me or post back :)


It is everywhere you turn... on TV, politics, in the movies... where has America gone wrong and what can we do about it? And along those same lines, why is divoce so accepted? Where are our morals?

It is genetics. Men are created to spread their seed by many times in one day while woman can only bear one child in a nine month period. Infidelity is more accepted by women of the men than vice versa.  A lot of men can't accept another man having sex with their woman.  I feel it has been going on for a long time but was just not talked about as much as it is now.  Most men are happy with their wife or woman they have the main relationship with, they just want a little variety every now and then.  It is the nature of the beast.


Back with his band, www.lovehammers.com. CBS has also announced that Supernova will be the band looking for a new front person for season 2 the following was borrowed from the Rock Star website...tune in!\nMarch 16, 2006\n\nCBS's ROCK STAR (working title) TO SELECT LEAD SINGER FOR THE NEW BAND -- SUPERNOVA -- FORMED BY DRUMMER TOMMY LEE (Motley Crüe) WITH BASSIST JASON NEWSTED (Metallica) AND GUITARIST GILBY CLARKE (Guns N' Roses)\n\nNew Lead Singer To Be Chosen From 16 Hopefuls When The Second Edition Of CBS's ROCK STAR Returns Summer 2006 \n\nNew Album To Be Produced By Butch Walker (Rolling Stone Magazine's 2005 "Hot Producer Of The Year")\n\nCBS and Mark Burnett Productions announced today that legendary musicians from some of the biggest American rock bands have joined forces to form a new band, Supernova, and will use CBS's ROCK STAR (working title) as the competition to determine the new lead singer.\n\nSupernova will feature drummer Tommy Lee (Motley Crüe), Jason Newsted (Metallica) and Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses). The second edition of CBS's ROCK STAR will premiere on the Network this summer.\n\nAfter the winning singer is selected on CBS's ROCK STAR, Supernova will record an original album, to be co-written and produced by Butch Walker (hit songwriter/producer for Avril Lavigne, Pink) that will be released in the fall before the band embarks on a world tour starting in early 2007.\n\n"I've toured with both Gilby and Jason. They're incredible musicians and I've always wanted to play with them," said Tommy Lee. "Starting a new band with old friends on worldwide television is going to be a blast, and we're going to pull out all the stops to find the most charismatic and musically talented lead singer to front Supernova. I love breaking the rules."\n\nBassist Jason Newsted added, "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to play with guys I've respected for a long time. It gives us a chance to be innovators. This is a new thing. It's never been done before. We're going to break new ground musically and on television. The anticipation is building in me Lead guitarist and co-writer Gilby Clarke proclaimed, "Rock n' Roll is so alive and I'm so excited to be a part of CBS's ROCK STAR. This is television history. Where else can you raid three historic bands to form one great band? I can't wait for the summer to begin."\n\nButch Walker will join the project as co-writer and producer of the new album. Working with the dudes from Guns N' Roses, Motley Crüe, and Metallica sounds like nothing but trouble, so I'm in! I'm looking forward to whoever the new lead singer is going to be so the guys can start corrupting their mind..!"\n\nDave Navarro and Brooke Burke will return as hosts, with Burke returning to the stage for introductions and Navarro returning to the judges' couch for input and evaluations.

"This year, I'm on the couch with my friends Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted as they choose Supernova's lead singer."\n\nThis summer's edition of CBS's ROCK STAR will also feature some format twists with a different music celebrity or rock legend each week. Said Navarro, "Friends of mine, like Slash, Macy Gray, Moby and Rob Zombie, will join us and throw in their two cents about who should stay and who should go."\n\nIn the first season of CBS's ROCK STAR, rock sensation INXS found their new lead singer in Canadian heartthrob J.D. Fortune. Since the show, INXS has taken to the studio and the road, releasing their massive hit single "Pretty Vegas" and selling out every concert in their North American tour. Their new CD, "Switch," debuted in the Billboard Top 20, and is currently going gold and platinum in countries around t


what would gravity do i.e. fall to other side or eventially stay in center

The ball would reach the other end and turn back and so forth i.e. it would oscillate. The whole motion is based on the gravitational force. Its a physics problem. check out a physics book chapter on gravitation.


Why I asked is that there is someone I love very much, and I want that love to last for always. Although the relationship never can be.

Yes, I have a wonderful friend who was a lover and we still talk every so often.  It depends on how much of an adult you are (and of course it helps to be friends before intimacy)  Good luck!


well cause i certinaliy do think he is so fine and if there are people out there who think he is ugly well you must be the one that is so ugly

my friend does! i think he's ok, not bad....


My eyes are bad, my glasses are thick, I can't wear contacts, and I'm ready to see clearly.  I'd like to know the cost, what the procedure was like, how well you saw afterward, and any side effects you may have experienced.  I'm a little frightened of the actual procedure, so insight about that is especially appreciated!  Thanks!

I had Lasik over a year ago.  And if I could re live it, I'd choose to do it, every single time.  Its worth every penny and any fears.  I wore glasses, than contacts for as long as I could remember, and it is about the most AMAZING feeling you can have, waking up the next day, opening your eyes and you can see everything.  And it is just that fast, the next day you can see!  The procedure itself... they put a clamp on your eye to keep it open, there's pressure, than depending on what machine and how much you're paying for the procedure, sometimes the doctors create your flap by hand, or its by machine... I had the machine do it.  There's a burning smell, not unlike burning hair.  Than they pull the flap back (you can see all this as its happenning) and than there's light.... than darkness.  Than you feel and see the doc using almost a mini paintbrush to put the flap back down.  Than its over.  Simple as that.  They do it one eye at a time, you're awake the whole time and its NOT painful.  There's a little pressure but that's it.  My clinic gave me a relaxant beforehand.  Total procedure takes NO MORE than 15 minutes!  Its amazing.  Its scary, I cried through my whole procedure.  But again, I would do it again if I had the choice.  Side effects: I work with computers and only took 4 days off work after the procedure... than was back starring at the screen... so they told me thats why I had headaches for two weeks after the procedure, but that's it!  The dry eye thing... I had dry eyes REALLY BAD for a whole year, a bottle of eye drops will be your new limb.  But now its gone!

milk protein(cassien) is converted to paracassienate and then to calcium paracassienate(curd) but there are two enzymes and that are rennin and chymotrypsin which does curdling and in my opinion rennin works in pH-5 which is found in babies stomach and not in human adult so chymotrypsin should be responsible for curdling of milk.

THe enzyme is rennin.\nI'm pretty sure it's released from Gastric Parietal cells(the same ones that make acid) either that's it the Chief cells ( that make pepsinogen)\nRennin is produced for the function of clot milk so it stays in the stomach for longer to allow the low pH and stomach enzymes to digest as much as possible, before passing through the pyloris to the small intestine, where the pH rises to 7ish.\n\nWhat you don't confuse Rennin with Renin.  Renin is an enzyme released from the kidney involved in Sodium, water and blood pressure homeostasis.


My wife had brain cancer with no insurance.  We would like to find some help with the medical bills without ending up on the street (we own our home) or ending up neck deep in debt with loans.  Anyone have and idea?

Hi, try contacting a Social Worker.  Also see if your hospital offers a Financial Assistance program.  Also I would check with the American Cancer Society to see if there is any information there too.  http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp or 1-800-ACS-2345.

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M1425. Case has started to crack in various places,and getting worse. Seems like a manufacturing fault.

Explain the situation to the manufacturer, and tell them that it is only one week out of warranty.  Let them know you have been a loyal customer and tell them that if they want your repeat business they will help you out.


So as to know such particular place can produce the goods at cheaper and better prices and a good quality

You can find it in the internet.Just type the keywords,like 'places which are famous for its goods'.May you find the answers soon.


I will become a freshman in Sep.My parents want me to choose bioengineer as my majar because the university I will study in is strong in it.But I really have no concept about it at all.So I need all information about my major,including subjects,mark,future...Thanks for help.

I'm a bioengineering major at UCSD. It's a pretty challenging major at my school, where they kick you out of the major if you can't maintain a 3.0 GPA. Though it really depends on how hard you work. Your high school education will also determine how well you do. I've seen validictorians from poorer-performing high schools get C averages and B-average students from higher-performing high schools get A averages in college.\n\nThe bioengineering curriculum at my college is heavily focused on the engineering and physics aspects. The lower-division classes are general chemistry, biology, and physics while the upper-division classes are almost all engineering. Engineering, in my opinion, is a pain in the butt. I used to like math until I took math courses here. On the other hand, all the literature and philosophy courses I hated in high school are absolutely amazing here.\n\nIf you're in bioengineering, you'll probably continue studying in graduate school for a BS/MS degree, or go directly into industry.\n\nIt really depends on what you want to do. I can't tell you much unless I get more info. You should contact some of the undergrad bioengineers at your school. Learn to use The Facebook. It's very helpful for finding students and friends in college.


Try to talk slowly and clearly, take your time and dont panic if they can't understand UK people can be quite rude to you if you don't speak english clearly but ignore them because they probably don't speak it properly anyway


hey ppl who have myspace i need help how do u set your background after you get the code? im new at this

this is just my process of getting an image background, it might help you and it might not, see if it does tho.  \n\nfind an image on google that you like, i dont know what you are looking for. and then right click it and save the picture. then go to photobucket.com and upload the image there then go to http://www.mygen.co.uk/ and when it asks for a picture url, go to photobucket and copy the URL box right under the picture. and create a layout. my suggestion is that you find an image that would look good tiled OR find an image that would look good centered/ full screened. customized all you want!\n\nto get to the about me section:\nlog in\non the right side of your photo find edit profile\ngo there and see an area that says "about me" and push edit\npaste your code there and submit it\nthen check out your awesome profile :]


There seems to be quite a few creationists on here.  I wonder how many of them are American, and how many are from other countries, and what does that say about the American education system?

Another question is: How many creationists have NEVER read anything about evolution except negative propaganda? \n\nThis creationist VS evolutionist debate reminds me of gallelio and medievals when men were prosecuted for heresy for saying such things as how the world wasn't the center of the universe and earth orbited the sun!  I tend to belive most creationists don`t know about that too !!\n\nP.S. isn't it funny that one of the things both christian and muslim fantaics totaly agree with each other about, and use the exactly the same arguments to prove is the falasy of the concept of evolution and the obvious correctness of creationism? :)
