I happen to drink LOTS of carbonated, bubbly water. Am I getting the same health benefits as if I were drinking plain normal H20?\n\nThe most immediate benefit I see is that I've substituted a lot of my soda drinking with these bubbly waters.

Water is water.  The only possible risk is that the carbonation will fill you up more quickly and could cause you to drink less water.\n\nThat said, I did have a friend once who thought carbonation increased cellulite, but I have no idea where she got that from.

The points system seems to get in the way of the whole idea : people participate for points, not from a genuine interest in the issues.  What kind of a deal is this?  Surely you can see that you are attracting the wrong kind of people?

Communication is essential for human relationships.


We've been together for many years and it's been great till 2004, when his family saw him abuse me (verbally mostly) they joined in. I never knew whatever negativity they had towards me was so close to the surface, I thought we were all close. They all turned on me like a pack of hyiennas!!I swear to never deal with them again I'd let my husband go, I dont feel like he does enouph to shield them from me, Im always the one taht has to be the "understanding one" and I'm real tired of it!

FIRST OF ALL YOU NEED TO PARAY TO GOD TO GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO BE ABLE TO KNOCK THE H*** OUT OF THEM IF THEY GET IN YOUR FACE AGAIN, BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNFAIR OF YOU SO DO NOT THINK THAT WAY. YOU SHOULD TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM AND MAKE NO QUALMS ABOUT IT. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN YOUR DEFENSE WHEN YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND HAD THAT ARUGUMENT AND HE WAS DISRESPECTING YOU, INSTEAD THEY USED IT FOR THEIR TIME TO VENT HOW THEY FELT ABOUT YOU. YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND LET HIM KNOW HOW  YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS. DO NOT DEPEND ON YOUR HUSBAND TO SHIELD YOU FROM THEM, BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT IS IS DEFINETLY SLACKING IN THAT DEPARTMENT. YOU BETTER LET THEM KNOW WHERE TO GET THE HECK OFF AT, AND THE NEGATIVITY THAT THEY HAVE TOWARDS YOU IS MUTUAL (EVEN IF IT IS NOT THEY DONT HAVE TO KNOW THAT), BECAUSE YOU HAVENT DID ANYTHING TO DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT. \nFURTHERMORE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM THOSE ARE YOUR HUSBAND'S PARENTS NOT YOURS, DO NO FEEL THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE MARRIED TO THEIR SON THAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM. TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR YOU DO GOT TO THEIR HOUSE, AND DO NOT LET THEM COME TO YOUR, IF YOUR HUSBAND WANT TO SEE THEM THEN HE CAN GOT OVER THERE.  \nYOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE "UNDERSTANDING" ABOUT A D*** THING, AND YOUNEED TO TELL YOUR HUSBAND THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO KISS THEIR A**** JUST TO GET ALONG WITH THEM, AND IF HE DONT WATCH THEN HE WILL BE BACK AT HOME WITH HIS MOM AND DAD.  YOU ARE A WOMAN IN YOUR OWN RIGHT, AND YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THEIR CRAP. I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!


Just watched the I episode of II series. What happens next?  Do the raft guys survive? What happens to the boy Walt? Who's the guy in the bunker? Are there "others"?

I figure you wouldn't have asked if you didn't want answers. And if you don't get them here, you'll probably figure out somewhere else to find out.\n\nThe raft guys survive.\n\nI couldn't tell you what happened to Walt if I wanted to - we still don't know and we're halfway through the season.\n\nThe guy in the bunker/hatch is nammed Desmond. He crashed on the island 3 years ago and he's been down there ever since.\n\nWhether or not there are "others" kinda depends on how you define "others" -- I think there are others. I would advise you to keep an open mind about every new character they introduce you to. Are they secretly an other? It's hard to tell.

My boyfriend is in the marines. He said he got a "horse shoe" haircut. Is that a military hair cut? Does anyone have a picture of one?  :)

horseshoe flattop - an extremely short version of the flattop cut. This cut gets its name because the only hair left on the head is a "horseshoe" shape ring of hair around the upper sides and across the front. The "landing strip" area is bigger than in regular flattops and the unguarded clippers are taken over the crown of the head. One contributor to this website provided some more information about this cut, also calling it a "TH flattop". This is described as a flattop cut with a TH clipper. The TH clipper is a type of clipper that will cut hair even closer than the 000 Wahl or 0 Oster clipper and is almost as short as an electric shaver.\nThe horseshoe flattop is also sometimes known as a "burr with bumper". The cut is basically 1/4" (no more than 3/8") butch waxed in front and an 1/8" along the sides of the "flat" - it's as short as you'll get before going to the full burr or induction cut. It was popular among career Marines in the 1960's.\nThis link should give you an idea what it looks like\n\nhttp://wolfsbarbershop.homestead.com/HorseshoeFlattop.html

I know I can substitute like 3 or 2 for (1/2) depending on if it doubles or triples or in half-life halves. But in that equation I have half in the exponent and I'm wondering what that is and what can I sub in if it isn't half life. Let's say we're working with the thing doubling over time. This MEGA URGENT SATs are tomorrow, thank you!

A halflife is a form of time constant for characterizing exponential trends with a decay rate of 1/2. Another common time constant decay rate is 1/e.


Well there is this kid at my sisters school and he is really gay can this be true?

Hell no! maybe he acts as if he is, because someone close to him is gay maybe his older brother or something, little kids tend to follow older people.. So he probably isnt but acts.. by the time he's 8 e might change

I dont understand properly centrifugal and coriolis forces because I understand that they are fictional forces which  come into play when looking at a non inertial system and the forces are not actually physical forces. So what is the force you experience pulling you outwards when you round a corner too fast in a car or you are on a roundabout etc??

The force that pulls you towards the side of your car when you go around a corner too fast is actually inertia.  It's the same force that makes you fly forward when you hit the brakes too fast or sink into your seat when you lay on the gas.  According to Newton (I believe it's his third law), "an object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest."  Well when you are in your car and you are moving in a straight line, your tendency is to keep moving in that straight line.  When you take the turn too sharply, the car is turning but your body's natural tendency is to keep moving in that straight line, so you get pushed up against the side of the car.  The same justification explains why you move forward or back when the car accelerates or decelerates too quickly.\n\nCoriolis force is a completely different force that is caused by the rotation of a sphere and the fact that the sphere is densest in the middle, with decreasing density as you approach the poles.  This change in density causes a force which makes moving things tend to move towards the equator of the sphere.

Our country today is not like how the sons of liberty back then thought it should be. They wanted better of us. they didn't know of nucleor power or rapists\nnow you can do what is right and say what you realy feel our country has become of. \nand all of you remember, you will not be judged on what you say.

I will give you my opinion as a foreigner to the United States. I am from Guatemala, and the majority of people to whom I speak with, consider that since Mr Bush is in office, the United States is largely hated all around the world.  I hang out with a lot of tourists and volunteers and I can tell you that it is safer and nicer all around to have friends other than Americans.  The whole American mentality that you are the "Most powerful country in the world" is absolutely absurd.  Most powerful compared to what?  No country is powerful against the power of Nature, and Katrina, wild fires, Mudslides and other occurrences will prove me right.  A little humility would do you wonders.\nOf course this is not say that ALL americans are hateful.  The thing is that many are and they are actually very noisy and ocupying places of power at the moment, so they are more noticeable.  I pray for the day when things change for the better and we can all live like brothers in this world, because at this rate, we are going down....

some say they have meaning but they dont change our lifes our actions do so why do we dream?

I have spent a lot of time in the past few years analyzing my dreams.  I find the more I pay attention to them, the more (and in depth) I dream -- or more and in-depth I remember them.  [The argument remains, "do we always dream & not always remember?" or "Do we not always dream?".  I, personally, have not decided that issue.]\n\nI do find that my dreams relate to the present.  For example, in last night's dream, I dreamed a restaurant caught fire (I mentioned a dessert from that restaurant in a recent Yahoo!Answer); I was about to watch a sports event with girls from my high school (I have been thinking about my high school in the past few days, and about some of my male friends loving to watch football on TV); we were about to pull a fire alarm before I woke up (it was exactly like the fire alarm at my high school)...\n\nI remembered about seven specific connections between what's been on my mind lately and what I dreamed about in that one dream -- before I got caught up in the day's activities.  \n\nI am seriously believing that night dreams are very much like "day dreams" -- when your mind wanders during awake hours (when you think of a subject and your mind wanders with it... you make a story out of it sometimes).  If you've "day dreamed", you know what I mean.  \n\nPerhaps the more creative or day-dreamer you are, the more you night dream.  And, the more you pay attention to them, the more you remember them. \n\nMy conclusion is, more and more (or I should say "continually/repeatedly"), settling on that  relationship.  I have been studying them for years because I have had time to devote to it and dreams are such a hot issue at times; I have been intent on figuring them out, if I could.\n\nI do not believe that dreams are symbolic of some "inner self" that you are not unaware or conscious of.\n\nI, too, find I dream more (at night), or remember them, when I am (in general) less stressed.  \n\n\nTHAT'S the report!!   :D


Six Flags is awfully close to Plano-I see lots of 'em over there\nAgain with the good one jesom!


I currently weigh 150lbs and I really need to lose 30lbs in this period of time. My target weight is 120 lbs. I am 5'1 , 22 year old female and I am really overweight for my height and age. Can I lose 30lbs in 9 weeks! I will do anything it takes if it is possible.

I lost 35 pounds in two months. Herbalife is the simplest, healthiest and most effective plan out there. It is effective because it is healthy and controls cravings while still letting you eat your favorite foods.


I have an older version of Click Art that does not seem to support XP. In other words...it only gives startup options for 95/98.  My comp. is not recognizing ANYTHING on either of the discs. How can i get this to load and work properly? It is a Broderbund product, if that matters. Also shouldn't XP acknowledge virtually all older software programs?

I dont know if XP should acknowledge all older versions of software, and I cannot offer any real solution, but no one else is answering you yet. I do, however, know that Clikart definitely should work for XP. I have the same version of clickart and its quite rebellious with my windows 98, but it works well on XP for me.\n\nCan you give any more information? Such as: Do you get any kind of error message? Does it even load a blank screen? Does your computer freeze? Or does nothing at all happen when you insert the disc?...anything you can think of that it DOES do rather than what it doesnt do. \n\nJust guessing - Perhaps you have a corrupted file somewhere during the installation process. \n\nIf you know anyone that has the same software, borrow Disc One and see if it installs. If it does, then it was your software causing the problem. If it doesnt, its your computer and it may need to go to the computer doctor, since this may be a sign of bigger problems. \n\nSorry thats all I can offer for you without more info. \nGood luck.

There is a television commercial played on MTV Europe for Orange (in Hebrew), which has a Dean Martin/throwback samba-esque sounding song- the commercial is of CDs laid out as dominos as they fall throughout a European city. \n\nDoes anyone know who sings this and/or the name of the song?

I am not sure but it goes like this:\nIt is becoming the moda\nIn every big capital\nFrom Buenos Aires to Paris\nFrom Rajistan to Nepal\nAy ay ay the beat is crazy\nZuku Zuku is everywhere


Ew! I don't think it has the same effect as skin creams... but hey whatever you like.


I know the song was played by The Percy Faith Orchestra and others. What I can't understand is why I know words to this music but can't find who sang them. I have found the written words online but there was no mention of who sang them. I proobably learned the words in the '60's when I was a teen and learning lots of other music.

It was recorded by "The Lettermen" in 1965.\n\nSource: ME!! (yeah, I go back that far, too)


Our prof. said so. Are they actually vertical or slightly tillted.

They are in space.. so it depends from what angle or where are you looking as a whole picture. Since we are on earth, we take earth's orbit as the reference and draw the other planet's rotation. But from outside in space (outside earth), if you are positioned perpendicular to earth's rotation, then earth is rotating in vertical direction.. thats what i could imagine..


been married for 5 years and together for 12.  I am 32 years old and feel I've grown tremendously both professionally and socially during our marriage.  My wife has become incresingly antisocial and reclusive in recent years and is unwilling to attempt to change.  We now argue all the time.  She is also a stay at home mom. I have a great career opportunity that would move me out of state.  I have decided not to go and focus on my children.  I feel divorce is the only option but my wife does not agree and claims she loves me dearly.  I am unhappy but completely stressed about my job (informing mgt Im unwilling to move), my children, and informing my family about my ineviteable divorce.  There is also and economic burden although my wife could easily reenter the workforce as her work experience is in an industry that has high demand.  Recently we started going to counceling but Im going to get her agreement that we should divorce and she is going to salvage the marrigage.  Please advise.

You wife may not be anti social but suffering from depression.  Also being a stay at home mom cuts you off from society. I was a stay at home mom and after awhile I had no self esteem when it came to adult conversation.  As far love goes I think that comes and goes in all long term relationships.  Couples have to work to stay in love.


For some reason I get nauseous once in a while, and I have no idea why. When I get nauseous I also burp a lot, get moody and have very little energy. It comes and goes. Doctors tell me I am fine, but they do not know anything (they are good for treating a flu). Can this be allergies? What doctor should I go to see?

Early gallbladder disease is a possibility, particularly if your symptoms occur after you eat fatty foods.  If so, you should ask your doctor to send you for an ultrasound to rule in or out gallbladder disease.  In the meantime, if it is the fatty foods which cause the symptoms, stop eating the fatty foods.


I am, but I'm half-Korean. <3 But actually, I have quite a few "white American" friends who completely agree. It's for the same reason white males like asian girls - sexy and exotic.


My point is, if they are protesting the law because they want to be able to be in the US shouldn't they be carrying US flags?

This is the big problem with the Mexican argument for legalizing illegals in the US... they say that we are an immigrant nation BUT what they don´t consider is that, for example, my German, Irish, Russian and French ancestors came to the US and became AMERICANS... they learned English, didn´t send all the money they made back to their home country and didn´t consider themselves still of their original country... these illegals and otherwise legal immigrants still root for Mexico in soccer games!  They don´t consider themselves Americans but want our rights and our benefits, at our expense!!! This is not fair to us.  We have nothing to gain.  They are not entitled to the rights of US citizens - they are breaking the law.

classroom teaching is not a very efficient way of teaching. We are compelled to follow it due to operational convenience. Search for an altrnative method will benefit from the knowledge of how this came to being in the first place.

Once free, compulsory education became the law of the land, there had to be places where one teacher could teach a large number of students.  But "as we see now" is not all that similar to what started.  Originally, small towns had a "one-room schoolhouse," often literally, or at least only one classroom.  One teacher taught 6 or even 8 grades.  Clearly, the older students taught the younger ones a good bit of the time. There is not very much a teacher can do with all of them, at their different stages of learning, listening to the same lecture.  Still, when it did happen, the same lecture was probably repeated each year, and so the younger ones heard it again when they could understand better.\n\nThe reasons are purely economic: you need fewer teachers.  But the irony is that nowadays, there are often two or three adults in a classroom.  There's the teacher and one or more teaching assistants.  So if three teachers were hired instead, they could have three smaller classes.  Of course, with the teacher's union, the cost of three teachers is prohibitive.

facilities located in that "city / town"?

c.1225, from O.Fr. cite, in medieval usage a cathedral town, but orig. meaning any settlement, regardless of size (distinction from town is 14c., though in Eng. it always seems to have ranked above borough), from earlier citet, from L. civitatem (nom. civitas) orig. "citizenship, community of citizens," from civis "townsman," from PIE base *kei- "to lie, homestead." The L. word for "city" was urbs, but a resident was civis. Civitas seems to have replaced urbs as Rome (the ultimate urbs) lost its prestige. City hall first recorded 1675; city slicker first recorded 1924 (see slick); both Amer.Eng. Inner city first attested 1968. \n\n\nO.E. tun "enclosure, enclosed land with buildings," later "village," from P.Gmc. *tunaz, *tunan (cf. O.S., O.N., O.Fris. tun "fence, hedge," M.Du. tuun "fence," Du. tuin "garden," O.H.G. zun, Ger. Zaun "fence, hedge"), an early borrowing from Celtic *dunom (cf. O.Ir. dun, Welsh din "fortress, fortified place, camp;" see down (n.2)). Meaning "inhabited place larger than a village" (1154) arose after the Norman conquest, to correspond to Fr. ville. The modern word is partially a generic term, applicable to cities of great size as well as places intermediate between a city and a village; such use is unusual, the only parallel is perhaps L. oppidium, which occasionally was applied to Rome or Athens (each of which was more properly an urbs). First record of town hall is from 1481; townhouse "residence in a town" is from 1825. Townie "townsman, one raised in a town" is recorded from 1827, often opposed to the university students or circus workers who were just passing through. Town ball, version of baseball, is recorded from 1852. Town car (1907) originally was a motor car with an enclosed passenger compartment and open driver's seat. On the town "living the high life" is from 1712. Go to town "do (something) energetically" is first recorded 1933. Man about town "one constantly seen at public and private functions" is attested from 1734.\n\nI believe the distinction is colloquial or based on the architectural styles that dominates each. Cities seem most often to be comprised of multistory structures with less land space than is in a town, where is is more abundant.\n\nGovernmentally, I doubt there is a designed difference, only one necessitated by habit and need. A town, which seems oftent to be smaller than a city, might not have the level of trade a city has with another city, so regulations pertaining to that would be presumably less. Some functions likely would not carry over.


Venezuela  Dictator Vows To Bring Down  U.S. Government.\n\nChavez, president of  Venezuela, _told a TV audience;\n"Enough  of imperialist aggression; we must tell the world down with the  U.S. empire. We  have to bury imperialism this century." http://msnbc.msn.com/id/10704025/\n\nThe guest on his  television program, beamed across Venezuela, was Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar activist. Chavez recently had as his guest Harry Belafonte, who called \nPresident Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world." \n\nChavez is pushing a socialist revolution and has a close alliance with   Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. \n\nRegardless of your  feelings about the war in  Iraq,\nthe issue  here is that we have a socialist dictator vowing to bring down the government of the U.S. And he is  using our money to achieve his goal! \n\nThe  Venezuela  government, run by dictator Chavez,\nis sole _owner of Citgo_ gas co.\nhttp://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO.jsp \nSales of  products at Citgo stations send money back\nto Chavez to help him in his  vow to bring down our government. \n\nPlease decide  that you will not be shopping at a\nCitgo station. Why should U.S. citizens who love freedom, be financing a dictator who has vowed to  take down our government?  \n\nPlease send this to your friends\nand family. Many of  them don't know that Citgo is \nowned by the  Venezuela  government.

Many people felt the need to boycott France at the beginning of the War because of their lack of support, it has always been an non-violent way of getting the point across. (Bud)

I would really need some tips for a public speaking I want to do. I would need tips on how to make things sound more than good. If anybody can help me.... PLEASE!!!!!

Simple things to think about..\n\n1) Biggest mistake I have seen is people just talking and talking. Use pauses for effect. How many times do you notice someone take a few moments of silence and not look stupid?\n\nSo you can use a few moments every once in a while just to collect your thoughts and think about what to say next\n\n2) Dont read word-for-word a prepared speech. We write differently as we speak and it sounds artificial. The best speeches always seem to feel like the speaker is talking to you normally and if you spoke to them afterwards they would talk exactly the same way. Be yourself.\n\n3) Think about it as a performance. Dont overly dart about a stage or anything. Just keep your feet planted, relax and just talk. Focus on one person you know and trust in the audience and speak to them. BELIEVE in what ur saying and passion just shines through.\n\nIt's not everything you need to know but if you can nail those 3 things, you could be talking a heap of poo but you'll still sound good! Trust me, I know! He he


On the one hand, I would like to go.  I haven't been to church for over a year.  But on the other hand, I hate having to sit through those darned announcements and stuff.  It seems like so little of the service is actually about worship.\nAnd so that is 3 hours out of my day basically, that I could be spending studying the Bible myself.  But then again, maybe I could benefit from what Christians have to say about the Bible, to give me a different perspective.\n\nHmmmm, can't decide.  What do you think?

im 19 now and only recently it was discovered that i have dyslexia i can read quite well but my writing isnt good ( although it may not look like so now) it ruined my study at universety so it annoys me too hell pls help me

You can't "treat" it, per se, because there's not actually anything broken.  It's just that your brain processes information different.  Get in touch with the disability coordinator at your school (you are probably entitled to extra time on exams and other accomidations), and if your struggling with a particlar class, talk to the professor.  Yeah, dyslexia sucks most of the time, but it comes in pretty hand when you have to find the reverse compliment of a DNA sequence (I, at least, have no trouble reading a seqence from right to left...).\n\n__________________\n>>>my university didnt do much in this field, and the school im \n>>>know in has no teacher in it whos even familiar with it\n\nIf you're struggling, you might want to consider transfering to a school that would be more supportive.  I've had to deal with schools that didn't do much (my 2nd grade teacher was adamendly convinced that I could spell if I wanted to and just wasn't trying), and now I'm at a school that actually gets it.  Believe me, it can make a huge difference.\n\nWithout knowing more about what you're having trouble with I don't have any specific tips.  You said you were mainly having trouble with writing, so if your school has writing tutors, take your papers to them to read over.  And use spell check with the red underline thing turned on - speaking from experience it can actually improve your spelling.  You may also be able to have your profs let you off the hook for some of the spelling and grammar stuff you have trouble with (so it won't hurt your grades so much), but for content and organization stuff it would kind of defeat the point of the assignment.  If you're really having trouble writing essays on in-class exams, many profs will be willing to give an oral exam instead.\n\nThe main thing is you've got to think about how you think (metacognition).  Don't count on other people understanding it unless you explain it to them.  Even though you know you're dyslexic, that's a very broad diagnosis.  You said you have no trouble with reading, but a hard time with writing, right?  I'm dyslexic too (and I'm also 19 and in college), and I have almost no trouble with writing (appart from spelling and flipping letters around, which just makes it go slowly), but my reading rate is at the 1st percentile, which is a bit of a problem when I have 100 pages of reading a night.  The point is that just "dyslexic" doesn't tell me, you, or anyone else how you actually think.  If you can go to the professor of a class you're struggling with and say this is how I process things and here's why and how it's making this aspect particlar of this class hard for me, I bet they'll be able to help you out quite a bit.\n\nAs far as I know, the "therapies" with colored glasses and repetitive eye movements are total BS.\n\nOh, and you don't need to be in special classes, you just need to modify your normal classes a little bit.  I was diagnosed as dyslexic in 2nd grade, and I've been not only in mainstream classes my whole life, but almost without exception in the highest level classes my schools have offered.

Bottom line is we want to lower our electric bill, and if we are going to sleep, should we turn off the computer to save electricity or does it take more electricity to turn it off and back on in the morning?

this has been an issue for along time with computer geeks however it has been found that both camps are right and that it is really up to personal preference computers do eat up more energy being  booted up but the fact that power surges and the mechanical parts in the drive in continuous use causes more where and tear including the , these two points alone show that they both kind of cancel each other out abit and any difference is so insignificant that it is more of a personal preference issue .

I was wrongfully accused of having drugs come up in my urine test. I am in the Navy and the legal side wouldn't allow me to defend my case so I appealed it. I love my life in the Navy and I have sacraficed too much of my life to just quit. I have an Admin. Board comming up on March 14th and I need information on how to present my case so that I don't go home. Any information would be greatfully appreciated.  Thank you for your time.

A board is going to believe evidence over ANY testimony. Get an independent lab, like omega labs, to do a blood and hair test for drugs. If that shows up negative, submit it and respectfuly requests anothertest to be done by the Navy. It is possible to pop on a a urine test and not have done drugs. If you are familiar with the sytem, all it takes is someone to switch your clean urine with a buddies dirty urine. However, conspiracy theories wont help you, only evidence. Good luck sailor!!!


I have downloaded free fonts , I use windows xp, and extracted them and they are in a folder but I do not know how to use each letter for scrapbooking use.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks so much

Simply copy the font into your C:\Windows\Font folder and it will be available to use as a selectable font from any Windows application. Make sure you copy the fontname.ttf (where "fontname" is the name of the font you downloaded and extracted) file and nothing else.


a friend had me ask this he dont have internet

Girls are evil dogs of my sisters make-up kit.


Do black Americans still like to be called "colored"?


the internet is undoubtedly addictive.my college provides free access to the internet 24 hrs in the hostel so i got hooked up. apart from stop using YAHOO answers, what can i do to control myself? H.E.L.P.

The only way I have ever stopped an addictive behavior is by replacing is with something else. In the case of having an internet addiction it is SO hard to do because avoiding computers is almost impossible these days. (It's kind of like being an alcoholic that owns a liquor store!) \n\nTry to assess what part or parts of the internet are most alluring to you and the time of day when you are most likely online. Is it games? Message boards? Chatting? All of the above and more? \n\nNow, plan about a week's worth of activities to replace your internet time. (Example: set goals to finish things you have been putting off like cleaning closets, organizing school work, etc., plan activities with real-life friends, get books to read, call on co-addicted friends that would like to cut back and plan to do something non-computer oriented together like exercising or playing sports...find anything that you can do that will keep you mentally and/or physically engaged rather than get online. \n\nPlan on doing this for only ONE week. By setting a one-week goal you are more likely to stick with it because you can stand anything for one week, right? At the end of the week you may find that you aren't as hooked and the withdrawal pangs are subsiding. You also may find that certain areas in your life have improved because of spending time on other things rather than the internet. The rewards from this may be enough to encourgage you to spend your time OFF the computer. If so, then try it for one more week.\n\nGood luck..and we hope NOT to see you around for at least ONE week! If it doesn't help, then at least know you are certainly not alone with this particular addiction! *wink*


i want 2 remove that extra damn fat :( help me i love chocolate so much and i adore eatin i can't live without eatin:S

I sympathize with you because I was in the same situation.All i can advice you is to go for daily walks, push-ups for the arms, sit-ups or crunches for the abdominal(stomach area)If you keep to it you'll see results in a couple of days or weeks depending your metabolism(also what you eat..watch those french-fries!)


What all can the spanish verb volver be used for? i hear it in songs and tv being used for things other than to return, at least it wouldnt make sense saying that in those situations. thanks!

turn - return - turn around as in return - go back as in return - making - changing - to reward\nVolverse - changing of opinion\n\nhope this helps, meanings are different, maybe if you noted the verse of the song, it would help in the correct translation or meaning of the word.\nGood luck


examples of worked correlational statistics problem-?\nI need to know a link between the amount of tv viewing the first 3 years of life, and symptoms of ADD by age 7? No idea how to work this correl. stat. problem...\n\nTHEN I need an example of chi- square method using above info! HELP!! \n\nAdditional Details\n\nMar 29, 2006 at 3:16 pm\nhelp! AHHHHHHHHHHH

You do need a Chi-Square test (also known as contingency table)\nThe idea of the procedure, invented to test the effectiveness of medical treatments, is to prove whether or not a given treatment (say tv watching by age 3) has some effect over the symptoms (say ADD)\n\nConstruct a table like this:\n.......ADD..NOT ADD.....total\nTV<3...n11...n12.......n11+n12...\ntV>3\n,<6....n21...n22.......n21+n22...\ntv>6...n31...n32.......n31++n3...\n.......c1=...c2=\n...sum(nj1)..sum(nj2)..total\n\nConstruct\ndifij=(nij-ci*rj/total)^2\nthen X=sum(difij) distributes as a chi-square with cols*(rows-1) degrees of freedom. \n\nSource(s):\n\nlook in the web for contingency tables

its like this i have dating him for about 8 mths we have a prefect relationshipand his son is carzy about me and so are my kids about him,he's mother is crazy about his exgirl they are good friends he says thats why they are not together because of mother but i not sure if the love is realor is the just doing somthing but he said "what do i have to do marry you so prove to you and my mother i love you and want to be with you i told him it wouldnt prove anything  to me cause i want him to do i cause he would want to not because of that so tell me people what do you all think i have been married before i thats not what i want now so how do i deal with ...

If this dude is even remotely entertaining opinions from his mother, run the f away.\n\n...don't know how old y'all are (apparently old enough to have bred at one time or another), but if you're at that point, let momma have 'im.


i HAVE BEEN DATING THIS MAN FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW.  WE MAKE LOVE ALL THE TIME AND I CAN SEE IN HIS EYES THAT HE CARES MORE AND I CAN FEEL IT IN HIS TOUCH.  HE IS MY EVERYTHING (BESIDES GOD) AND I CANT IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT HIM. DO YOU THINK HE JUST NEEDS TIME TO REEVALUATE THE RElATIONSHIP AND ALONE TIME SO THAT HE CAN SEE HE TRULEY LOVES ME AND REALLY DOESNT WANT TO GO? BUT HE GIVES ME MIXED MESSAGES WHAT SHOULD I DO?  HE SAYS HE DOESNT WANT ME ANYMORE BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE I KNOW THATS HE DOESNT REALLY MEAN IT.  DOES HE NEED TIME ALONE... CAN I HELP? I KNOW HE LOVES ME AND REALLY WANTS ME...IS THIS ONE OF THOSE HE COULD JUST ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOSE IT BEFORE YOU REALIZE YOU NEED IT?

Have you ever heard the saying ' If you love something let it go, If it comes back it was meant to be"? I had tears in my eyes as I read your question, I can feel your despair!! If he wants to go, let him. There really isn't anyway to stop him anyway. Sometimes is takes men longer to realize how they are feeling and if he truly does love you he WILL be back. You need to ask yourself what it is that you love so much about him, Is it the challenge that he wont give you wnat you want, or does he really make you feel like your floating on a cloud and makes you feel loved and beautiful?( which if he is saying the things you have mentioned I dont see how that is possible). I have been there, and he came back, but for me it was too late. I realized that if he didnt feel he loved me before and couldnt reciprocate my feelings knowing how desperately I felt I loved him, he was using me for sex until he could get in the other womens bed. Follow your gut not your heart in this situation. God is telling you what you need to do, just take the time to listen. Fighting for him is going to make ooh SOOOO much harder on you. The pain will be devestating at first but God is there for you to lean on, "He wouldnt bring you to it,if he couldnt lead you through it"!!! I wish you the best!


How come it seems like no females are interested...and as soon as i get a girlfriend, it seems like tons want to start talking.??? That drives me up the wall.

yah thats so true and that happens with girls too you know!!\nlike yah you can't find a good guy but then all of the suddin when you actually have a boyfriend..their's a million guy trying to know you .. but if you brake up with your boyfriend you will go back to the case were their is no one...isn't that just crazy!!


I would answer the question if I understood it.


Ok not necessarily shot.They can't be treated & the judicial system continues to let them out to prey on more innocent children. Just what can be done to stop this type of abuser???

99% of them prey on children again after getting released from jail. They can never be treated. They should definitely be given the death sentence.


In reference to my previous qustion... in a way I want to go to marriage counseling with my husband to try and help our relationship. But I have a hard time talking about marriage problems with someone I don't know. I know, you're thinking "you're doing it now aren't you?" Well yes, but I can't see you and most likely will never meet anyone who responds to this question. Also it has always been easier for me to express my feelings in writing rather than talking. I don't know why I am like this. I never even talk to any of my friends or family about stuff like this. To be honest, this is the only time I have ever said anything about it. So in a way this is counseling for me. Some of you give pretty good advice. So is marriage counseling for me? Has anyone out there been through it? What is it like? Did it help your marriage?

First of all, it's important to recognize that a counselor or therapist isn't someone who will solve your problems. The counselor's job is to accurately understand the nature of your marital problems by creating an atmosphere of trust that will enable you and your husband to talk about yourselves and with each other. Having established this rapport with the two of you, the counselor may then guide you through working out your issues by using various exercises within the session. The purpose of these exercises is to equip the both of you with the knowledge and skills that you can use to grow a successful marriage. \n\nAssuming you are under the care of a competent professional, the bottom line is that marriage counseling will only "work" to the extent that you and your husband make it work.


The primary forces that colonized the Americas were the English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. During that time, the Othoman Empire was a major world player, why did they not attempt to colonize the Americas?

To the extent that coastal and short distance mercantile vessels had access to all the Mediterrainian, the Adriatic, part of  the Black Sea, the Ottoman did have great involvement with regards to seapower, but not as a deep seafaring culture,  Galleys made up most of the Ottoman Navy, with square rigged frigates coming into use later towoards the end of the 18th C. \nThat said their focus was inward, primarly on holding onto their territory around the Mediterrainian, and on towards the Middle East\nand parts of Asia.\nThe economy being mostly based on military conquest;  They already had sufficient control over trade routes and profitiable trade through their ports - not having a need to create new trade routes there would be no motivation to look toward the Americas.\nAnd again, while the Ottomans were skilled at galley warfare and coastal trade, they would never have seen a reason to double Cape Hope or Cape Horn for long sea passages.   All they requried was already in their possession.  Also after Lepanto, and well into the 17th C. they were in a decline which progressed all the way to the 20th C.

i have a friend that has past due child support the district court said that there is to be no intrest charged on it as long as payments are made.  the order was signed and in effect.  the attorney general says they dont know if they can uphold the order since its a "law" intrest be charged.

If there is a court order stating it, there's little they can do. Judges can make rulings that are not in strict keeping with all laws if they believe it is in the best interests of justice. Texas law does require interest. "§157.266. Interest accrues at a rate of six percent simple interest from the date of delinquency until the date of payment. §157.265. In practice, a payment is considered “late” if it is not received during the month in which it is due."


If I were to kick a girl in the groin, will it hurt ?? Will they go rolling on the floor like the guys in the movies ? If they do, which part does it hurt ?

Yes it will hurt a girl if you kick her in the groin area. No, she won't roll on the floor like the guys in the movies. But why would you want to know?


like you have some one in your bairn saying go with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes, your brain can want to be with someone and your heart knows that it's all wrong. I guess that if you were with the right person, the two would agree, eh?\n\nHope this helps!


I read the clone question ( which was really good) lots of people described themself as bad, bitchy or nasty. I always thought bitchy and nasty people didn't really realise they were like that. So if you know your nasty why stay that way? I believe we have a lot more control over our personality than we think. So if you are nasty, why? Do you want to change and what could you do to change? Thanks

Some are bitchy and nasty because they are insecure. It is their way of coping with their insecurities. It is their way of letting other people feel that they are far better and greater. Being nasty is their way of boosting their confidence in themselves. So next time you encounter a bitchy or nasty person, just think that this is probably just a defense mechanism. Just think that maybe you are fortunate than them because you are happy about yourself and are not insecure :-)

All of those work from home deals you see on the internet are a scam. Do not ever give someoneone like this your credit card number.  You will end up losing a lot more than $99.


Are there additional expectations with the latter title?

if it needs to be defined, the person isn't ready for a relationship.  as previously stated, it's the same thing.  now, you can introduce someone you just started dating as a friend.  however, when you throw the "boyfriend/girlfriend" title on there, you two are now a couple, which means you are exclusively dating.


Ok so I'm going out with this guy right...Just started going out yesterday...and then today he went to his friend's house that lives near me and so they came over to my house and we were just hanging out and stuff BUT IT WAS SOO AKWARD. I was so nervous and he was too, but me more than him. His friend kept trying to come up with these excuses to get us alone and stuff and I was like freaking out (on the inside) haha..And so basically the whole time we were pretty much just standing there and talking about the most random pointless things ever...and omg it was scary haha. We like each other and all its just been realy akward...I feel like such a loser and I really like him and don't want him to break up with me or anything!! I'm 13 and its my first real boyfriend...\n\nSo yeah my question is\n1) how do I stop being so nervous around him??\n2) what if he wants to kiss me or something??\n\n\nCome on you gotta help me here haha but really! :-) Thanks

I may be 40 but I can still remember going through the same thing just like it was yesterday.  This girl I like, she and a friend of hers stopped by my house and I just had no clue what to do.  It turned out she wanted me to take her to my bedroom and make out.  I just couldn't imagine doing that while her friend sat there in the next room all alone.  The good news is we eventually dated some off and on for a few years.\n\n1)  You never get over being nervous completely.  As you get to know him and spend time together though it does get easier.  With this being your first boyfriend this will all be new to you so there will be a lot of nervous firsts.  Just remember, it is normal and that he is probably nervous too.\n\n2)  Go slow with things.  Start by just holding hands and talking.  Once you get comfortable with each other then you can move on to kissing.  It will seem weird and awkward at first but it gets better with time.  Just don't rush, and don't do anything your not ready to do or unsure of.


Is it okay to say... exciting electrons is done this way...or...exciting a girl can be dangerous?...if it isn't, why is that?

Exciting can be used in exactly the same way that nouns and adjectives are, but it is still a verb form. Verbal nouns are called gerunds, which is what exciting is in your example, "exciting a girl can be dangerous." We know that it is acting as a noun, because it is the subject of the sentence, which only nouns can do. Verbal adjectives are called participles, which is what exciting is in, "That was an exciting day." We know it is an adjective, because it is modifying "day," which only adjectives can do.

I AM SO P1SSED ABOUT HOW THE JUDGES ARE TREATING CHRIS DAUGHTERY..THE SAME D4MN THING HAPPENED LAST YEAR WITH BO BICE.. THEY AREN'T POP SINGERS AND THAT P1SSES SIMON OFF..I DON'T THINK IT'S RITE.. WELL I'M ROOTING FOR CHRIS...

Amen.  Idol always wants to set up a pop or country singer.  It's crap.  Chris is a rocker, let him rock.  Even if he gets voted off, he'd have a record deal within days, so either way he wins, and we win.


My pants ripped at church when i was 14.

The most embarrassing thing for me was when I was younger and visiting a church in the area.  It was a strange non-denomiational church that had some really odd beliefs.  I used to smoke back in those days and the pastor was telling his congregation that people should not be afraid to do what they want.  If you feel like jumping up and dancing in church then do it.  Church should be about freedom.  \n\nSo I lit a cigarette and started smoking.  He stopped and told me that there was no smoking in church.  I told him I was just following his lead.  He said that was no what he meant.  I apologized for interrupting his freedom speech and left.  \n\nIt was embarrassing to me now but it was funny then.


i just watched it and it is the strangest movie and i mean twin peaks looks normal compared to this ..i just want to know what did you think of it?

Yes I have. It is hilarious in most parts, but the British wierdness of it was too strange for me at times. The robot played by Alan Rickman was wet-yourself funny. I also liked when the spaceship changed and was like "bee-boo-bee-boo-beep" The ending was too weird for me. I did not understand it and it ruined the movie for me. I mean, I had a general understanding of what the ending was, but I just didnt understand it entirely. I still love the movie though!


I'm not JUST looking to get someone to fill out my taxes. \n\nI need someone to help me manage ALL my finances (accounts, investments, estate, will, taxes) I don't really know too much about financial management; it's all really boring to me... :P\n\nWhat would an approximate charge be? $20,000/year? $30,000/year Higher? Lower?\n\nThanks for any help you can provide!

It would vary/depend on the amount of work involved/the size of your accounts, investments, etc.These factors would determine the amount an accountant would charge.


when i`m on instant messenger i could see when people was replying to my message---now i cant and i can no longer get launchcast--why

I like forest yoga personally.  We generally hold poses longer, and if you have a teacher that is good at keeping you in the moment, its very enlightening.\n\nI do know others who like the 'workout' aspect more than the spiritual, so they say Hatha or Birkam suits their tastes better.\n\nWhat about you?

For me, it's between hatha and kundalini.  Both are highly spiritual for me.  I find kundalini very interesting in that the form isn't the most important thing.\n\nI've tried bikram...while it was interesting and a great work-out, I really didn't feel any spirituality with it.  Maybe the specific yoga studio I went to didn't mesh with my beliefs.  But also I have a problem meditating when there's a mirror in front of me, and they keep telling me to look at myself.  I like to close my eyes during practice, if at all possible, and forget that I have a physical body.

Okay, what is your PERSONAL opinion of this movie? Have you read the comic?? What do you think about the overall film? I you've yet to see it, what do you think now?

I didn't know it was a comic.  I just saw the movie, it was so intelligent, so thought provoking.  It will be movie of the year.


work smarter not harder, find a job you really enjoy then it won't be such a drag to work


we are doing a project for health and we need some info on if you acually eat how much you should each day

Well define right. If you mean eating sugary foods and sodas once a week, i'm doing great. i think one of the hardest reasons is that people confuse LIGHT with REDUCED FAT. You see reduced fat maybe  a litle less "fattty" than the regular brand. But light has, by law, to be under 0.5% far as fat or sugar. Me am i healthy? i usually get salad once a week and love, LOVE, LOVE fruit salad!! Yum!!

Letter stuffing companies are all scams. Not just some, but all of them. Companies that do mailings use envelope inserting machines that than process hundreds of letters per minute. Why would you pay somebody that could only stuff two or three envelopes a minute? Doesn't make sense.\n\nIf you actually do sign up for one of these scams, what you'll find is that you have to pay for the materials that they send you. Once you get them, you'll be directed to place ads in the local papers. If somebody responds, you stuff the envelope with the flyer you've paid for, into the envelope you've paid for, and place the stamp you've paid for on it. Then, if they respond and make a purchase, you'll get paid. But... there's usually a minimum they will pay for... like you'll have to have 100, 500 or 1000 responses to get paid. And what are these mail stuffing companies offering?  Most of them are offering a Work at Home opportunity stuffing envelopes. Who do you think is going to make out on this deal.

Wondering how big a 35 micron particle really is?

Micron is a short form of micrometer.\n1m = 1000mm\n1mm = 1000um (microns) - unfortunately in this browser I have to use'u' instead of the correct symbol which has a long tail to the letter at it's beginning. This is the Greek letter mu.\n\n1um = 1000nm (nanometers)\nYou might also come across an older measurement, mostly used in microscopy, called the Angstrom,\n1A = 100 um. In this browser I can't put the little circle above the 'A' that should be there.

It is very hard for me to walk due to the pain and stiffness I have in my hips from the arthritis.I have been told by the doctors,that I need hip replacement surgery,but I need to lose some weight.

Restrict your caloric intake and do aquatic exercise. You can swim, or check with your local YMCA and health clubs to see if they offer aquatic exercise classes. You can move so much easier in the water than on dry land because of the bouyancy of the water. In waist deep water you're only carrying 50% of your weight, at chest deep it's 25% and neck deep is 10%, that will decrease the pain in your hips from the OA, allowing you to do more. Good luck!


I bought a used LCD monitor at a computer show, it worked fine there.  I brought it home, and layed it on it's screen to connect the cables... now there are some permanent dark spots on the front.  The monitor has no warranty, is there anyway I can fix these spots?

If they're not dirt, it sounds like the LCD sandwich has failed at particular points. LCD screens work by sandwiching the LCD material between two panes of specially prepared glass. The glass has circuitry on it (TFT = thin film transistor), and when the transsistor changes voltage (at a pixle point) the LCD material physically twists or untwists and becomes transparent of opaque. Lights (cold flourescent bulbs) either shine through or not.\n\nThe LCD material is extremely thin, and point pressure on the sandwich may squash the sandwich enough at that point to disturb the LCD material enough to cause it to fail.\n\nRepair of LCD panels is nearly impossible in the real world of after sale repair, as opening the sandwich will alomst always cause enough contamination to ruin the entire display. The usual rememdy is to replace the LCD sandwich panel, but this is quite expensive. since new LCD monitors cost as little as US$169, it's generally not worth even attempting a repair to the LCD panel. A broken connector or a switch perhaps, but not the LCD panel.

Tell him he's rude and ask him if his mother usually lets him play on the computer past his bedtime.\n\nThough it's better to just ignore him.  If you don't respect a  person, what do you care what he thinks about you?  Only people who you care about and you think highly of can hurt your feelings -- everyone else just doesn't matter.

their group is US, Italy, Czech Republic and Ghana two advance

They will be lucky to make it out of their group. If The US does they will lose in the round of 16. CZECH Rep is playing well right now and we can't match up with them. We have a good core of players but out 8th-16th best players will let us down. Italy will beat us 2-0.\n\nIf by any chance we make it through, we will not win our group and be second. Brazil will win their group and they will not lose to a US Squad when they have to play us in the round of 16.\n\nSo to get by the round robin the chance is minimal, and round of 16 impossible.

I beleive the  Devil(horns, Fork tail etc) that is depicted by todays Christians was  a pagan god long before Christianity was developed. No the Wiccans do not worship the Devil. They don't beleive in the Christians Devil. How can you worship something from another religion? Unfortunely movies or shows like Charmed gives the wrong impression. \nWhat do you think?

Well something about these quotes really disturbs me...\n\n"Over one million people worship the devil as a religion."  Really?  Prove it.  I want to see where you got your IMPARTIAL information.\n\n"Anyone who does not believe in God is a sinner and rebuked God when they heard the good news."  So this is what you are saying.  Before you tell these people about your god they are safe because your god is not known to them.  If, however; you tell them about your god and they refuse to believe your "good news of the lord" they are condemned to hell.  Why tell them in the first d@amned place then if you know they are going to go to hell for refusing your god!?\n\n"Lives we can never change"....yeah? tell that the people you just condemned to hell for refusing to believe in your god.\n\n..."and we have an understanding of what is good and bad in our conscience."  Well let me see, you just told a bunch of people who were enjoying their lives without your god and who were safe from the wrath of your god until you told them about your god by condemning them to hell for refusing to believe in your god. How is telling people who don't know your god a good thing again please?\n\n"we all have a sense of survivl instinct."  It's spelled S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L, you idiot. \n\n"Yes things in our culture have been disintergrated because of simple minded people not knowing the facts before they say or do things before the think"...welcome to the Disintegration Club, genius.\n\n==============\n\n...and then there's this one...\n\n==============\n\n“HELLO!

(Exodus 22:18) \n\nIt's important to do your own research. However, here's what I've found so far: \n\nJames I was notorious for being paranoid about witches, spells, and so on. This was, in part, due to volatile politics of the time. He had good reason to be nervous. \n\n"His" Bible (the King James Bible) was translated to keep Jamie-boy happy, so they translated the word chasaph--which is Hebrew for poisoner (or, in other contexts, herbalist)-- to mean "witch" instead. \n\nThe real Biblical passage was about the disturbing crime of poisoning in the Jewish community. When that line was originally written, there may have been recent poisonings. Some historians point to this. \n\nHere's an early document, written around 1580 at the time of King James I, protesting the translation of chasaph as "witch." \n\n(And when goode King James discovered what Reginald Scot had said in this book, James first wrote his own book, Daemonologie, a rebuttal to Scot's. Then James ordered his men to find every copy of Scot's book and burn them. It \nwas too late. The Scot book was already in its third printing, widely distributed, and nine more chapters had been added.)\n\n  \nFrom The Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot. \n  \nBOOKE VI \n  \nChapter I - The exposition of this Hebrue word Chasaph, wherein is answered the objection conteined in Exodus 22. to wit: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, and of Simon Magus. Acts. 8. \n  \n(page 64) Chaspah, being a Hebrue word, is Latined Veneficium, and  is in English, poisoning, or witchcraft; if you will so have it. The Hebrue sentence written in Exodus, 22. is by the 70. interpretors translated thus \n  into Greeke, [note: I'll fill this in when I have a Greek font and more time], which in Latine is, \n  \n\n  Veneficos (sive) veneficas non

Go to their homes and/or invite them when he's not there.  You really need to discuss the issue with him if it's that important (yeah i know, easier said than done).  Maybe marriage counseling, if this marriage is worth it.  If not...

I was plotting it but I got force as zero in between some time intervals, just wondering how could force be zero if an object is in motion?

If an object is moving at a constant velocity, then the acceleration of that object is zero (acceleration is the measure of how fast the velocity is changing, if the velocity is unchanging, acceleration must be zero). By Newton's Second Law, if the acceleration of an object is zero, the net force on that object must also be zero.\n\nNewton's First Law also mentions this concept. Once an object is in motion it'll keep moving at the same velocity forever unless a force acts on that object. Now there must be some force acting on the object initially to get it moving, but once it's moving you can cut off all the forces on the object and it'll go forever (not really a practical experiment though since there are always forces like friction and gravity that cause the motion to stop).


What level of verifiable evidence would we need? Would radio signals that obviously came from intelligent life suffice or would we need reliable evidence of sightings or meetings? We would need better proof than Uncle Bob came home late one night from the pub and saw a UFO.

Radio signals are probably the only way and that is a slim hope. Most people can comprehend that there are plenty of opportunities for life to evolve elsewhere in our universe(it may even be quite plentiful). What most people don't grasp is the sheer magnitude of the distances between these other worlds. the next closest star is Sirius and travelling at the speed of light it would take 4.3 years to traverse the distance between here and there! Oyher stars are at MUCH greater distances. So I am afraid that the only contact we will ever have with an extra terrestrial race is by radio waves and even that is unlikely.


i have alot of leg cramps a friend said to me 5 different vitiamn suppliments are to much for me in one day is he  right i am overweight also alot of my weight are on my legs\nmy friend said that one multi vitiamn suppliment is more than enough for me i would like to keep taking glocasmaine for my joints is that ok i also take thyroid medicne  any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated thank you very much.

Please check out this website for good vitamin info. You can search your condition on there. Im sure your friend means well and is trying to help but the daily RDA's of vitamins in multis are not sufficient for anyone. People need more vitamins.

I have been dating this boy for about 4 mo. and the only time i hang out w/ him is on school days. i have hung out w/ him on the weekends a few times but here lately i havent. a couple of weeks ago i found out he cheated on me but wouldnt tell me with who i have an ideal who it might be but i dont know. i have only kissed him once only b/c im afraid if i fall in love w/ him more than what i already am i might do something stuid and not know how to handle it. when i found out about him cheating on me i didnt break up w/ him but im just afraid of getting my heart broken again what shold i do about my boyfriend of 4 mo.

Cheating is NOT OK...the fact that he did that too you in the first place is soooo not cool. I'm surprised you didn't do away with him then! The thing is if you didn't do anything about it when it happened...he's probably thinkin sweet i'll do it again...unless he's really genuine. Just ask yourself...If he's hurt me this much this soon, whats to come in the future...? And what might come in the future is heartbreak...and you don't want that. If you break up with him now, you can do it on good terms, and possibly hold up a descent friendship!! Just pretect your heart...good luck!!!

You will be given an option like "attorney/member search" (or something to that effect depending on the state). You should be able to enter the name of the attorney in question and check if he/she is actively practicing law and if they have any diciplinary actions against them.


answers:  in the thylakoid membrane , in the cytosol , in the stroma , on the cristae or in the inner membrane .

The light reaction happens in the thylakoid membrane and converts light energy to chemical energy. This chemical reaction must, therefore, take place in the light. Chlorophyll and several other pigments such as beta-carotene are organized in clusters in the thylakoid membrane and are involved in the light reaction. Each of these differently-colored pigments can absorb a slightly different color of light and pass its energy to the central chlorphyll molecule to do photosynthesis. The central part of the chemical structure of a chlorophyll molecule is a porphyrin ring, which consists of several fused rings of carbon and nitrogen with a magnesium ion in the center.


I met my friend, Angel, 12 years ago when we were about 8. She was always the most normal person I knew. She always had great grades, went to school almost everyday, had good relationships with friends and family - had good relationships with boyfriends and if there was a break up it was always amicable. I know a lot about depression and mental disorders, spending a lot of time in a pshyciatric ward when I was a kid and family history but I don't know what could be wrong with Angel...for the past year she's been acting weird, once every few months she gets severly depressed - she doesn't want to talk or speak to anyone, she does drugs and drinks, she cuts herself and will go back to an old boyfriend and enjoys it when he hurts her - she begs him to beat and rape her, one time he even let two of his friends have their way with her and she never said a word. These pshycotic breaks only last one to three days then everything goes back to normal like nothing happened.

This could be caused by many different types of illness. Angel definitly needs professional help, and if you can get her seen while in one of her "episodes" it would be better. \n\nThe depression followed by the bizarre behaviors could be signs of bipolar disorder, if she is around 20, that would be approximately the right age of onset of full blown symptoms. The cutting suggests internal pain.\n\nHer lack of memory of the occurences is also concerning to me. This shows either she is at a manic phase with possible psychotic symptoms or could be showing signs of a dissociative phase as well. \n\nIf you are close to Angel's family, talk to them and get them to help you. If you think that they will not believe you then you need to contact a crisis hotline or psychiatric emergency program to assist in getting Angel evaluated while in an "episode". \n\nYou can find a crisis center by calling the American Association of Suicidology during business hours at 1-800-273-8255 between 9-5 Eastern Time. A crisis center is not just for suicide.
