http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_lanka\n\nPrehistory\nArchaeological evidence suggests that the island now known as Sri Lanka might have been inhabited up to 125,000 years ago. Paleolithic human settlements by 125,000 year-old people using chert and quartz tools have been discovered at excavations in several cave sites in the Western Plains region and the South-western face of the Central Hills region. Paleo-anthropologists have shown that burial rites and certain decorative artifacts exhibit similarities between the first inhabitants of the island and the early inhabitants of southern India. One of the first written references to the island is found in the Indian epic Ramayana. The main written accounts of the country's history are the Buddhist chronicles of Mahavansa and Dipavansa.\n\n[edit]\nAncient history\nHistory of Sri Lanka\nseries \nEarly Sri Lankan History \nEuropean Occupation of Sri Lanka \nSri Lanka Independence Struggle \nIndependence of Sri Lanka \nEthnic conflict in Sri Lanka \nAccording to legend, the written history of the Sinhala people of the island begins with the arrival of an Indian prince named Vijaya and his followers. The story goes that when Vijaya arrived, there were indigeneous people already living in the country. Vijaya made a relationship with the queen of the indegenous people, Kuwani. Kuwani accepted Vijaya because she realized that her people could not successfully fight him. She gave birth to a son and daughter. There are two primary opinions about Vijaya's origins. Some historians believe that he set sail from what is now Orissa, while linguists point out that ancient Sinhala is closer to Sanskrit which is the basis for most Indian languages. Buddhism arrived from the Indian subcontinent in the 3rd century BC thanks to Arahath Mahinda Thero, missionary of Buddhist Indian Emperor Ashoka, and spread rapidly. Asoka requested his son Mahinda (Mahinda Thero) to spread Buddhism in Sri Lanka as a favour for his best friend King Devanampiyatissa, king of Sri Lanka.\n\nAlthough the country's history is dominated by Sinhalese peoples, some chronicles do mention the presence of Tamil speaking people. There is no clearly established date for the arrival of Dravidian people on the island, but it is thought to have occurred soon after that group reached South India. South Indian kingdoms invaded Sri Lanka on several occasions because of the prosperity of the country, and parts of the island, especially areas close to India, were ruled at times by Dravidian dynasties such as the Cholas, Pandyas, Cheras and Pallavas. The island was also invaded and ruled by Kings of Kalinga (present-day Indian state of Orissa) and Malay Straits. In general, when Sinhalese kings became aware of Tamils' presence in the country they were able to expel them to India; however, Tamils were established on the island by the time the colonial period began.\n\n \nLanding of King Vijaya depicted in a paintingFrom the ancient period date some remarkable archaeological sites including the ruins of Sigiriya, the so-called "Fortress in the Sky", and huge public works. Among the latter are large "tanks" or reservoirs, important for conserving water in a climate that alternates rainy seasons with dry times, and elaborate aqueducts, some with a slope as finely calibrated as one inch to the mile (1:60,000).\n\n[edit]\nColonial rule\nIn 1505 the Portuguese arrived on the island, and colonial rule began. At that point the island consisted of several autonomous kingdoms, such as those of Yarlpanam (Anglicised Jaffna) in the north and Kandy in the central hills. The Dutch arrived in the 17th century. During Portuguese and Dutch rule of coastal areas, the interior, hilly region of the island remained independent, with its capital in Kandy. Great Britain replaced the Dutch in 1796, and the coastal areas became a crown colony in 1802. After the fall of Kandy kingdom in 1815, the British unified it with the 'l

Find someone who speaks your own language.


What kind of school do i have to take? what kind of preparation do i need? where can i go? who can i talk to?


I would translate it as: Don't wake up sleeping dogs.\nIf you know it: what exactly does it mean (to you)?

it means leave things as they are, so they don't get worse.\n\ne.g. you need a train ticket, but you don't have ID. The guy gets distracted and starts making out your ticket anyway. So if you were silly, you'd say "oh you're giving me my ticket even though I don't have my ID! thanks" - and that's when the ticket-guy realises his mistake and puts the ticket away and say "oh yes, sorry, I still need ID i can't give you that ticket". So now - if you had just kept your mouth shut, you'd have had your ticket and moved on with your life.\n\nSo - let sleeping dogs lie. Don't wake 'em - otherwise they might start barking or biting...best leave them where they are, as they are, and it's allll good.


I can't seem to find any books or on the internet on how payroll should be correctly calculated in Australia. Does anyone know?  My experience has been that usually no one has any clue whether any deductions or calculations to entitlements are calculated properly. We just seem to take it for granted that if our payslip says we should get X then it must be right. But how do we really know?

Have you tried this link? \n\nhttp://www.revenue.act.gov.au/payroll.html\n\nThere's also the Association of Payroll Specialists in Australia...the equivalent of the American Payroll Association here.\n\nhttp://www.payroll.com.au/index.htm


I notice that the US makes an enormous deal about banning smoking anywhere and everywhere and taxing it through the roof, but a lot hasn’t been done about fast food and the highly processed food we gobble up on a daily basis.  Fast foods and processed foods are much cheaper and more accessible than their healthy alternatives too.\n\nWhen you look at other countries, Japan and France for example, you’ll see that they have a higher life expectancy than we have here in the U.S. and the Japanese and French smoke like chimneys.  How is it possible for them to smoke the way they do, yet be much healthier than we are?  Is it possible that eating habits have more of an effect on our health than cigarettes?\n\nDon’t get me wrong, I know smoking’s bad; I’m wondering if our focus isn’t misplaced.

Well, I agree that there's a lot of hysteria surrounding smoking.  But a lot of it comes from smoking being out of fashion.  And let's not forget--most smokers WON'T die of lung cancer.  They'll die of other diseases only linked to smoking but not actually caused by them.\n\nBut I'm not sure I agree with you about the fast food.  I've seen several groups try to sue fast food chains and, don't forget, the FDA just recently mandated new food labeling laws.\n\nBut, yes, I also agree that in the hysteria, nutrition is often overlooked.  And just look at how obesity is linked to so many diseases, many types of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, the list just goes on and on.\n\nI'm not sure I answered your questions but thanks for asking them.  They'll give a lot of people something very important to think about.  Best Wishes.


even it is instructed to use the pills on the first day of menstrual period. is it safe to do so, will this not result to unplanned pregnancy?

Well technically u cud start it anyday but the reason why they want u 2 start either da 1st day of ur period or the 1st sunday is because it takes at least 7 days 4 ur body 2 get used to the pill.  As u know u ovulate after ur period. It changes from woman 2 woman but it takes 7-14 days after da 1st day of ur period 4 u 2 ovulate. When u take it as the doctor prescribes, at ovulation, ur body wud fully accept the birth control and it will b at full effect and then it's safe for u 2 have sex and not b 2 stressed about getting pregnant.

I go to school full time and we have 2 children. My husband is self-employed and we have no health insurance. The children do, medicaid. My husband says when I am done with school, I should work full time to provide the family with health insurance. When I am sick and need to go to the doctor, he gives me attitude because we will incur another bill. I say if he wants to be self-employed, he should make enough to pay for it, or get a real job.

Yes a person who wishes to operate a business must do so with the understanding of what those costs are.\n\nHe has taxes, workers comp insurnace, libility insur and health insurance that have to be paid to be properly in buisness.  If he is not making that much money, and the fact the kids are on medicaid, it says he is not making enough to really support the family,  he needs to consider at least another part time job or a full time job and work the business part time till it gets big enough to support the family


putting away the treadmill and upgrading the couch...many times a day

It means you're no longer getting any exercise (getting fat?), and spending most of your time, sitting on your butt, in front of the T.V.


I am curious to know more about it... it's apparently the new trend at Spas.

they have a website www.daymakermovement.com maybe that will help you.... Good Luck

i feel lonely always n need some one to make my day happy ........but how do i

No. That will only add to it. You need to get over them yourself. That's something that only you can do on your own. You can't expect someone else to do that for you.


i mean there are so many things i like, acting, movies, computers, i love learning languages, i love music and play a number of instruments, and i'm pretty good in school, i mean i've been on the honor roll since 7th grade, What should i do, i need help deciding

Well, you can't just jump into being a rock star.  You must earn that status.  Start now.  Start a company, band, organization, etc. based on what you are passionate about.


I was bitten by an unknown bug/spider/thing with an unusually large amount of legs about a week ago. the doctor  saw did a test and there is no poison or any thing there, but my leg still really hurts and i have anti-biotics that I've been taing but they arent working very well. the wound hasnt healed at all, does any one ahve any thing that might help?

Is there any "rotting" around the wound? If so, it is a Brown Recluse otherwise known as a "Fiddle Back" (the back looks like a fiddle or violin). If you couldn't tell, is there a "lump" anywhere near the point of origin? If so, there is no cure. Fluids, rest, and fluids for it it is the bite of The Black Widow. Check with the forest ranger where you were, your parents who know the land , or any group you might be with. After my daughter was bit by a Black Widow, I bought a spider book and what to do. Also, check in the area you are in; in the continental USA, two spiders cause problems. The brown recluse and the black widow. Caution: I have seen "Albino Widows". They are white with a brown hourglass.

I discovered them randomly and can't get enough of them, any history how long have they been around! I can't believe I never heard of them till now.  What are their best albums?

Rammstein has been around since 1994. Sehnsucht is a good album, it has the popular Du Hast song on it. I like them. I got into them probably 8 years ago or so.


oh wand with a cute little orange haired mad whiteman logo...

"It's just a logo and a name"  WELL JUST WHAT IS A LOGO? It's a symbol.  It tells the world what the entity (in this case the Cleveland baseball team) wants to be known by.  It's not enough that they want to be known by "Indians".  They want their logo to have a bright red face.  I've never seen a person with such a face.  They want that face to have Beaver like buck teeth.  I've never seen a human with teeth like that.  It's very mean, disrespectful and humiliating.\n\n"I wish a white man was a sports logo.  That would be cool."\nWell, be cool and purchase something with the logo with a white man.  I believe (I could be wrong) that the following teams include white men as (relatively respectful) logos (I'm sure there are more): San Diego Padres, Boston Celtics, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Twins, USC Trojans, Michigan State Spartans, West Virginia Mountaineers, Notre Dame Irish, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas Tech Red Raiders, U. Mass Minutemen ......but definitely not Texas A&M - because everyone know that an Aggie is not human !!!

I'm currently in my second year in community college. I didn't think muvh about school then and now I regret it. Iended up with a 2.2 GPA. Now, wanting to transfer to a four year institution I don't know if it's possible since it's so competative out there. What should I do. I don't want to be stuck in community college forever.

Ummm you should set down certain days of the week that you study in a group, at least 3 times a week. You should also set up at least 1 other time to study alone... Do 1 semister and get a GPA around 3.5 and you shouldn't have a problem getting into a four year institution.


Every One MUst answer this question, OR ELSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE!!!!


What would be right? What would be wrong? What would the purpose of humans be? Would you have created the universe as it is, or what would be different?

I would like to add one:\n\n'Thou shall not take up arms in defence of the Lord.'\n\nNow wouldn't that have changed history, if he is omnipotent he does not need us to fight his wars. Leave the politics out, and get on with getting on with other people.\n\nBe happy for the similarities, not aggressive or fearfull due to the differences.

I have a friend from mexico and it took her 3 years to learn english, she went to school to learn it. many of these people have to work and also families and they just don't have time to learn english. Also like i have said , it is very dificult to learn english.You expect that this people learn english from one day to another? They would want to learn it but who will tell them? It is not easy.

English is widely reputed to be the most difficult language in the world to learn.  Yes, lots of people speak it, but the best speakers are those who come from countries where the schools teach English from the first grade or earlier, and they typically study for eight years or more.

im 19yo male and lost a relative 3 months ago to suicide i have very supportive friends and family but every night i stay up very late cry for no reason,and get so depressed to the point where i drink a hole bottle of jim beam and passout. i wake up with blood all over my hands. evernight i drink a lot so id pass out and not do any thing stupid, i dont know what to do anymore, i dont feel i can go on.

you just really need totalk to someone. i lost a frien to suicide unfortunately i was in the room when it happened. i know how hard it is. i also had to attend 23 funerals in 10 months jst a few years ago between friends and family i wasn't surei wold make it either i really felt like my world was caving in on me. the thing that got me throgh it was my husband he always talked me through things, to this day he still makes sure i don't forget thememories of those friends and family members. one other thing i did was write letters to the people i was closest to especially my mom when i was feeling as you are now. i've read them at later times some i just keep in a box. good luck and please talk to someone!


we have poverty and homelessness here at home. statistics say that a lot of the homeless are veterans. why does our government care so less about the american people? also look at our senior citizens who have worked so hard and now they are loosing their healthcare coverage.

You are a darling.  I think that the government is trying to cut down on the population.  Bush and his cohorts only care about their own agenda, and watch out for the next war in Iran.  The senior's are not only losing their healthcare coverage, but they are being taxed twice on their incomes.  Once when they earn it, and again when they take it out of any of their personal retirement plans.  That's why a lot of seniors retire to the Bahamas.  So that the government can't get their hard earned money twice.


also if u have braces what dose it feel like to kiss some one with out?

My tongue got stuck in the braces and we had to go to the hospitals to get if off. Stay away from Braces.


Is Zach Braff(scrubs) gay coz i saw some pics of him at a premiere looking like he had a boyfriend lol.Anyone know for sure?

No i dont think Zach Braff is gay because at the moment he is dating Mandy Moore.If he is gay then he is just using Mandy Moore to cover up that he is gay,but i dont think so.


World peace is the biggest pipe dream in history. There will ALWAYS be wars to be fought. All we can do is cherish the peace in between wars. So why do people waste their lives working towards something that can never be? I submit that the only people who can bring about peace are those who dedicate themslves to war. Soldiers who win wars secure a period of peace for years to come. People who stand on street corners with signs contribute nothing to peace.

But isn't the "dream" special?  No one is perfect, but to strive for perfection is a good idea, a noble pursuit.  Humanity being what they are, wars will always be fought.  And isn't the period between wars, world peace?  It's just temporary.  The people on the corners are only trying to make that period between wars a little longer than the last one.

In your opinion, do you think Paul McCartney flipped out when he discovered that his 'media hungry wife' Heather Mills McCartney was best friends with 'media prankster' Rory Emerald? Do you think Paul knew this before he married her?\nHow did they pull-the-wool-over-his-eyes? Why are the tabloids so interested in this story? Especially the connection between Lady Heather Mills McCartney and Rory Emerald.

I think the whole relationship between Paul McCartney, Heather Mills and Rory Emerald is distasteful and disgusting.  \n\nThe love triangle between Paul McCartney, his lovely wife, Heather and Rory Emerald began a few years back at a formal dinner party in lower Manhattan, as recorded in New Yorker Magazine.  It seems that Rory Emerald had a rather unique and bizarre history with livestock and barnyard animals, which disgusted the former two.  Paul McCartney was livid at Mr. Emerald’s callous attitude towards these animals, but Mr. Emerald managed to calm him down indicating he had a genuine love of these animals and often showered them with flowers and chocolates after these brief, but intense liaisons.  McCartney’s wife, Heather, became transfixed by the whole thing and requested, if possible, is she would could watch the next encounter.  Paul McCartney admitted he too would enjoy the voyeuristic pleasure.  This became a ritual, and whenever Rory Emerald had the “urges” as he so aptly described it, he would ring up McCartney and wife.  Soon, Heather, Paul and Rory found themselves strange bedfellows indeed, in both the figurative and the literal sense.\n\nAfter the White House fiasco, which firmly put Rory Emerald in the spotlight, the older couple distanced themselves from any furor by removing themselves from his life.  As you well know, this is when Rory became involved with actress Jodie Foster.

The personality conflict pertains strictly to the owner of the company and not my immediate supervisor.

If it is a personality conflict, as you state, then you'll have to make a decision about how much it effects your day-to-day work, and how much you have to interact with the owner.  \n\nIf it is to the point of "this town ain't big enough for the two of us," I would head for the hills and find another job.  The owner is more likely than anyone to always be there, for better or for worse.  \n\nIf there are some specific policies/procedures they've implemented that interfere with the work you're trying to do, then I would talk with them.  Let them know what your goal is (to be an effective, efficient employee) and what specifically is getting in the way.  \n\nI deal with something similar all the time where I work.  There are times when I daily have to decide whether I want to work for this person or not, as there are clashes in opinion, and it certainly dips into my "happiness factor".  I have had the most success in playing the political game . . . I treat her respectfully, but go about my work with minimal interactions (until it gets in the way of my work, at which point I promptly address it).  I know, though, that every situation is different. \n\nWhat is your gut telling you?

i found some pills in my car from my little brother he told me they were called rynos but i need to know the real name of them for his health and safty he wont tell mee where he got them from can someone please help me please

There is no Rynos for a kind of painkiller. If you are unsure of the pills, bring them to the police but allow yourself to keep some of the pills to bring to a drugstore or a chemist. They might help you figure it out? Just how old is your brother? Why would he need pills? If you are unsure of his motives, just observe his behavior. If he looks sedated then its a opium derivated. If he acts manic then suspect a stimulant. If he acts too relaxed*not sedated* then its a depressant.


what is the best way to cheat in high school and not get cought?

1-Write the answers at the back of your shoe, sit at the back, fold the feet you wrote the answers on and try to fold your feet in a way you can see the answers written.\n2-Write in your eraser\n3-If you have a box-like pencil sharpener try make a small cheat sheet and put it inside.\n4- write the answers in a piece of paper and put it in your pocket, then ask to go to the washroom. A good excuse if you wear contact lens will be that your contact lens is slipping.

My organic chemistry final is four days away.  I've done a mediocre job in the class and really want to do well on the final.  I've struggled with finding a good way to study orgo all semester.  I know the best way is to keep up with the work and practice a lot so that the reactions are second nature, but it's been a very busy semester so I haven't kept up as well as I should have.  Does anyone have any strategies that worked well for them when they took orgo?  I have a good understanding of the concepts--I just need some good tips about how to keep hundreds of reactions in my head for the final.  Thanks!

A few things I did when I was studying:\n\n1. Visualize the reactions as animated. Try to actually imagine the atoms/molecules detaching from so-and-so location and going to the other. Makes it easier to spot patterns across different reactions.\n\n2. Study a few of the toughest bits right before you go to bed. Your subconscious tends to latch on to whatever you are thinking about when you go to sleep, so the next morning, you'll find those parts easy to understand. This really works, and not only for Organic Chemistry.\n\n3. Another user has suggested Flash Cards. I'd prefer 'cheat sheets' - complete sheets of paper with concise descriptions of the toughest bits, glued to your bathroom mirror or kept at your dining table to casual referral whenever you happen to pass that way. \n\nHope this helps. Best of luck for your final!


what should I do to make sure I make the team? Do I need to get more lessons after this one before January

Just listing stuff on what is most likely required to be on a team,...high school team....\n\nYou need to know how to play tennis. To know at least the basics, not all the special techniques, but like forehand, backhand, overhead smash, serve (two ways to do it), etc. You should know how to do it and when do it. Also, you can't just have the knowledge of tennis, you could study and read about all you want, but you need to know how to play it. Are you able to run for the balls, able to hit them back? You need to practice, practice, practice. \n\nAnd for you, since you are a beginner, you should be practicing. Especially if you want to get on a team. And yes, preferably, get a proffessional to help you, or some lessons from an experienced player. You could watch tennis matches and read about it to know about the moves and tatics, etc. \n\nIt's not guaranteed that you will make the team, but it's still a chance that you would get in. The time, now and before the tryouts, just keep practicing...\n\nIf you want any more tips, just ask. ^^

What is the reason for high attrition in the IT industry? Can anything be done about the trend?

People will always follow the higher salary/ better working environment -condition.\n1stly you would choose a job that pays better, then you see the shitty working conditions and look for a job that doesn't pay so well but with better working conditions.\nThis is all a evil cycle and once you are satisfied with your working condition you don't make enough money so it begins again.


In my opinion, there are two options.  But, first to better define... it's only near the END of the yawn.  It feels like my vocal cords are perhaps too tight, and yawning tries to stretch them and it hurts.  \n\nMy two thoughts on this are:\n\na) I played basketball all Memorial Day Weekend... did a lot of yelling.  I didn't lose my voice at all and my throat doesn't feel scratchy or hurt.\n\nb) I met a girl who, apparently, had mono.  When she told me about it she said she had been on medication for aprx. 3 weeks.  This tells me she had contracted it almost 2 months prior.  Apparently, most people are contagious aprx. 3-4 weeks after contracting it.  I'm not sure if this could be it or not... I haven't been very tired lately or anything like that.\n\nAny ideas?  I'm REALLY hoping it's from yelling and straining my cords.  Also, one other detail.  If I sing, it only hurts when I try to hit a high(er) note.  Basically my range is much lower than it usually is and if I breach it, it hurts. Ouch!

I thnk you may have strained your vocal cords or have a touch of laryngitis.\n\nBest to go and get a throat swab/culture taken from your doctor.  That should check for mono or strep.\n\nDo you get any clicking around your jaws when you stretch so far?  You may be straining your TMJs.\n\nHow old are you?  Just checking in case you are going through puberty and your vocal cords are consequently changing?

If I sell my house (primary residence) less than a year and go to another city because my job has changed, do I need to pay income tax on the profit from house sale?\n\nWhat if, I purchase another house as primary residence? how much tax? \nI am on H1B visa?

You can prorate the $250k gain exclusion if you sold your house because your new job is more than 50 miles from your old home.  \n\nTherefore, since you owned the house for 1 year you can exclude up to $125k of gain.  It does not matter if you buy a new house or not.\n\nBTW, I am a CPA.

I have urges to feel with the 'in' crowd and get upset when i don't get in. remember this is high school. all the 'be yourself'stuff may not work. help. please.

I'm considered popular, I used to be kind of in the middle though. The only thing separating you from them is probably the fact that they talk louder, party harder, have more friends (not true friends, just people they can say "Oh, I know her!!!" so more like acquaintances), and they might do things in a bigger group. Some people may admire them as the more prettier people or the better looking people but most of the time it isn't true, they are just the people who brag about their looks or accentuate them by being extra flirty. If you think about it, the popular people go to football games and movies, just like everybody else does, they just make themselves more noticeable. There is nothing really special about being popular, sure, a lot of people know about you, but they know good and bad things and they talk about you more. If you're in a really big school you can still be well-known without having to be the center of attention. Just remember, the "In-crowd" isn't as good as it looks - most of the time there is more drama and there is no true friendship. For all of my popular friends, you have to keep them constantly entertained or constantly compliment them or they'll drop you like a sack of potatoes because they're bored. I would recommend finding a true group of friends where you can just hang out without having to worry about your hair or clothes or who loves who and stuff. Just do what you want.


India enter Lara country\nSiddhartha Vaidyanathan in Trinidad\nMay 25, 2006\n \n \nBrian Lara will want to treat his home crowd to fireworks in his last two ODIs at Trinidad © Getty Images\n\nThe timing couldn't have been better. Trailing 2-1 in the series after three heart-stopping games, India arrived in Trinidad, large chunks of which are distinctly Indian. If they switch on the radio, they are likely to hear Bollywood numbers; if they take a walk, they are likely to be offered roti and dal. Past Indian teams have enjoyed Trinidad - just ask Sunil Gavaskar - and the only ground where they have won Tests in the West Indies, three games in all, is the Queen's Park Oval. \nIn the larger scheme of things, for most of the locals at least, all the above is mere piffle. This is Brian Lara country. He's made it amply clear that these will be his last two one-day games in front of his doting crowd. He stands on the threshold of leading West Indies to a famous series win, one that could trigger off some sort of resurgence. More worryingly for India, he hasn't made too many in this series. In 28 previous games at Trinidad, he's spanked seven fifties and two hundreds. He averages 55.76 at home. He's a man with a sense of occasion. Don't bet against this fella. Don't even try. \nSo far in this series, it's been other batsmen giving India all the headaches. Ramnaresh Sarwan has spoken about improving his consistency and backed up the talk with two magnificent innings; Chris Gayle has, customarily, blown hot and cold; and Shivnarine Chanderpaul has failed, limped, succeeded and limped off. Lara has urged players like Dwayne Bravo and Marlon Samuels to deliver more often. Also, there's Sewnarine Chattergoon and Wavell Hinds to contend with. India have to stop not one, but several, bullet-loaded barrels. \nIndia may get back their chief weapon, with Yuvraj Singh likely to play. "He looks OK," commented Rahul Dravid, "we'll get him to bat in the nets and see how it goes." India need all their batsmen to come good. The cracker called Mahendra Singh Dhoni is yet to explode and it's a bomb that has no timer. Watch out for it. \nWest Indies will bank on home advantage. "We played here recently against Zimbabwe and have a fair idea about how the pitch behaves," Lara said on the eve of the match. "But this one [pitch] looks different. Normally, when we have back-to-back matches, there's usually some moisture on the pitch and in the outfield. But this one is devoid of moisture. I'm more worried about how it will hold for Sunday." \nFor India, Sunday can wait. They need to first stay alive, then start kicking, then think of levelling the series, and then - only then - can they harbour hopes of winning it. Like against South Africa at home, late last year, and in Pakistan a few months back, the bounce-back-ability will be tested. They've pulled it off before; this one might just be their toughest test yet. \nIndia 1 Rahul Dravid (capt), 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Mohammad Kaif, 6 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), 7 Irfan Pathan, 8 Ajit Agarkar, 9 Ramesh Powar, 10 Harbhajan Singh, 11 Sreesanth \nWest Indies 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Sewnarine Chattergoon, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Brian Lara (capt), 5 Marlon Samuels, 6 Dwayne Smith, 7 Dwayne Bravo, 8 Carlton Baugh (wk), 9 Ian Bradshaw, 10 Fidel Edwards, 11 Corey Collymore \nSiddhartha Vaidyanathan is staff writer of Cricinfo\n© Cricinfo\nwww.cricinfo.com

I don't intend to make a racial issue, and I hope you don't think I am being racist. But I do have a sincere question.\n\nDo you prefer to be called Black?\nBlack American?\nAfrican American?\nAfro American?\nNegro?\n\nWhich of the above is the most offensice?\nWhich of the above is the least offensive?\n\nAnd other than any of the above, is there another way to describe your race?\n\nOr. maybe, as I would wish,  we would do away with all racial terms, and just be Americans?

I prefer to be called Black. I am not African. I have traces of African in me, but that does not mean that I am of African nationality. People who are from Africa who become American citizens should be called African-American. I don't care to be called a Black-American because (and don't take this the wrong way) I am not exactly WANTED here in America (or anywhere else for that matter). Afro American is dated and Negro is just unnecessary given the Latin meaning of the term. I think the term Black American is a little offensive. Black is the least offensive to me.\n\nAt this point, there is no appropriate way to describe what I am. My great-great-great Grandmother passed for white for many years (she was the descendant of slaves). There are some Mexicans in the blood-line as well. Since the blood-line is no longer purely African, I cannot associate myself with a race of people. I am nothing but a Black person in America.

He was in the Detroit Tigers farm system a few years ago, pitched for both the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Erie Seawolves, I believe.  I also think his full name was Thomas Lee Rodney or Lee Thomas Rodney.

He played last year in Toledo at AAA level,  he played a whole four innings in the whole season.  He had a ERA of 2.25.  I'm not sure if he is playing this season but I'm guessing no. Was that good enough for you?


Hi, I'm terrible at spanish- I really could use help on how to conjugate the verbs in the following sentences ... here are the directions and questions (thanks a lot!!)\n\nPatrcia is going on an job interview tomorrow. Give her a suggestion based on the way she says she feels in each of the following sentences. Use the cues in parenthesis. \n\n1). Estoy muy nerviosa. (sugerir/tomar las cosas con calma)\n2). No se que ponerme. (recomendar/vestirse bien)\n3). ?A que hora debo llegar? (ser importante/llegar a tiempo)\n4). Pienso salir con mis amigos la noche anterior (aconsejar/acostarse temprano)\n\nthanks so much!! if you feel so strongly about giving me the answer, then help at the very least could be appreciated (though answers are more than welcomed :). basically, you're suppose to use the verb in the paranthesis to make up your suggestion. thanks again.

Alex Ortiz's answers above are correct, assuming that you are supposed to address Patricia as "tu".  If she is an elder, or less familiar to you, then you should be using "usted":\n1. Le sugiero que Ud. tome las cosas con calma.\n2. Le recomendo que Ud. se vista bien.\n3. Es importante que Ud. llegue a tiempo.\n4. Le aconsejo que Ud. se acueste temprano.\n\nWHY???\nWhether you use tú or Usted, you are making the suggestion/recommendation/advice TO Patricia, so you need to use a direct object pronoun (te or le).  You are suggesting that she do something, which is not a definite action. This is where you would use a subjunctive (subjunctives are difficult for us non-native spanish speakers to grasp!).

This is a question that was put to me a short time ago I would like to hear your views on this, If you were to spend many years looking after a partner, because of illness you have to do everything for them, cooking, cleaning, sometimes feeding them, washing them, ect. Because of this you no longer have a sex life would it be a sin to have sex with another just for sex and nothing else?

My understanding is that it would be.  It would still be considered adultery.\n\nThere are many things these days that can interrupt a married couple's sex life.  \n\nI could understand why that would be a temptation, but vows sometimes involve sacrifice.  And as difficult as it would be, I believe that God would enable a person to persevere.\n\nI hope this is hypothetical and that you're not in this situation.  But I know there are people who live it.


especially metallic sounds ie two metals rubbing together, but recently now even the sound of clothings rubbing my body or the sound a steering wheel makes, they are all beginning to affect me, who knows about these kind of things, shud i see a doctor?

Hi there -\n\nI sometimes have the same problem with the metal sounds - especially if it's really quiet.  I was considering going to a hearing specialist to check for damage.  I know that if you have hearing damage your ears "ring" and I'm wondering if what I'm hearing is similar?  It's enough to make you crazy if you can't get it to go away or get your mind on something else.  I'd definately check with either your general practioner or a hearing specialist.  I think I'll be going soon myself.  You're not alone!


Call me immature if you want too but it is not like Dubya doesn't deserve it. I am not saying I condone such behavior, no wait... I guess I condone it..

And if they have please correct me.  \n\nHave you ever seen the footage of him being egged on his first walk to the White House? Oh man, that is precious!

ha ha! I'm with you on that one. It is Dubya's fault, who the f*ck voted him into office not once but twice?!?! \n\nGod have mercy on us all....


we had sex 3 weeks ago, she had birth control and never had hiv.  My penis looks fine, nothing unusual about it, but everytime i go to pee there's a little burn inside my penis at the tip of the head.  Is this a sign of STDs or something else?! should i wait and see if the burning goes away?? please help

First, NEVER EVER HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT WEARING A CONDOM ! There are std's that don't have as noticeable affects in women as what it will in men. Considering this girl is already on birth control pills is a sure indication she has been sexually active already.Since she allowed you to have sex with her not wearing a condom ,safe bet others have had the same priveledge. How do you know she for sure she has not got hiv? You didn't think at the time you had sex that you would be worried about a std right now either did you? People lie, especially when it comes to sex . Don't you think if everybody told the truth about std's and hiv/aids that this problem would be well under control,if not completely extent? Next time wear a condom!! Not for her benefit but for your own safety. As to do you have a STD. Only a doctor will be able TO ANSWER THAT 100% , you should have been there 3 weeks ago. Some std's can make you sterile. If you are to embarrassed to go to the Dr. then call your local health department and see if they can't see you. If you are really worried then call the er at your local hospital and tell them your symptoms without giving your name. Hopefully all you have is a kidney infection. Next time you start to have sex make sure you use a condom! No matter what she may tell you. If your gonna do it be responsible. Good luck!!


I am familiar with the GREs , however since I know immigration procedures in the US my family wants me to make more money than I aspire to and apply to a law school.

However, if LSAT is a coplicated test, I won't have enough time to study for it (I have only one semseter left to graduate).

Noo.. GRE is much easier... but if you constantly study you will do fine with both


I want to attend nursing school but every school in my area has a 2 year waiting list. Does anyone know of any online nursing schools to get an LPN or RN. If so what are they???? Thanks.

No.  This would be a bad idea.  You should consider entering a BSN program at a state university.  At the very least you will make progress towards the MSN while you mark time waiting for the LPN/RN programs or - best situation - you will be admitted into the BSN program after completing the prerequisites and be in line to later earn the MSN.\n\nI know more, but I don't know what area you are in.

does it make your body abort? Is that the way it keeps you from getting pregnant? I was told that it causes a mucous buildup tha prevents an egg from attaching , but isn't that a fertilized egg? So would it be considered a form of abortion?

All forms of birth control are less than 100% effective.  The Mirena has at least a 1 in 1000 rate of pregnancy.\n\nNobody is quite sure how an IUD works.  Preventing implantation is the most popular theory today, but it is *not* definite.\n\nAs to whether it is abortion, it is a matter of definition.  If you consider a fertilized egg the equivalent of an embryo or fetus, then, yes, it is a form of abortion.  However, until the fertilized egg implants, it is in no way attached to the woman's body.  It is not physically part of her.  It has no physical effects on the woman.  Moreover, most women lose many fertilized eggs over their lifetimes.  So many people don't consider it to be the equivalent of abortion.

The other day on CNN I saw something about a Cancer Vaccine but didn't catch all the story.  Anyone know any info about this people let me know?

May 19, 2006 \nNew Vaccine May Prevent Cervical Cancer\n\nWASHINGTON - A vaccine with the potential to slash worldwide deaths from cervical cancer, the No. 2 cancer killer in women, should be approved for sales in the United States, a federal panel said Thursday.\n\nA Food and Drug Administration advisory committee voted 13-0 to endorse the safety and effectiveness of Merck and Co.'s Gardasil, which blocks viruses that cause cervical cancer. The company said the vaccine could cut worldwide deaths from the disease by two-thirds.\n\nHowever, the anticipated cost of the vaccine, administered in three shots over six months, is $300 to $500 - a possible impediment to widespread vaccination campaigns.\n\nThe drug protects against the two types of human papillomavirus (HPV) believed responsible for about 70 percent of cervical cancer cases. \n\nIt also protects against two other virus types that cause 90 percent of genital wart cases. All four virus types are sexually transmitted.\n\nThe FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of its outside panels of experts, but usually does. An agency decision is expected by June 8.\n\nHPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease. It affects more than 50 percent of sexually active adults. The cervical cancer it can cause kills about 290,000 women worldwide each year, including 3,500 in the United States where regular Pap smears often detect precancerous lesions and early cancer.\n\n"This is certainly a wonderful, good step in addition to our screening processes" in helping eradicate cervical cancer, said Dr. Monica Farley, who heads the advisory panel. She is a bacterial infectious disease expert at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.\n\nEarly opposition to Gardasil was based on concerns it could encourage sexual activity in preteens and teens. But that largely faded away because of the vaccine's potential for reducing cancer.\n\nMaking their case for approval, Merck officials suggested that Gardasil could be the biggest advance in preventing cervical cancer since the Pap test.\n\n"Gardasil has the potential to meet an unmet medical need as the first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer," Merck's Dr. Patrick Brill-Edwards told the Vaccine and Related Biological Products advisory committee.\n\nSeveral speakers said the vaccine should not replace screening. Merck said the vaccine was not intended to do that but that it could eliminate many of the abnormalities the tests turn up.\n\n"We would like to see the FDA mandate some sort of labeling or other mechanism to communicate to health care providers and patients the continued need for regular cervical screening," said Amy Allina, program director of the National Women's Health Network.\n\nMerck said the vaccine could be used in females age 9 to 26, but would work best when given to girls before they begin having sex.\n\nThe company is seeking to license Gardasil in more than 50 countries, said Dr. Eliav Barr, who headed the vaccine program at Merck.\n\nPending action by the FDA, the national Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will decide in June whether to endorse routine vaccination with the vaccine.\n\nThe committee's HPV vaccine group is recommending giving the vaccine to girls 11 and 12. The 15-member committee of experts who advise the government will consider recommendations for females 13 to 26. Merck seeks use of the vaccine in girls as young as 9.\n\nDr. Nancy Miller, an FDA reviewer, cautioned that Gardasil does not necessarily protect against one or more of the four viruses in people already infected before they get the vaccine, and can increase their risk for precursors to cervical cancer.\n\nAlso, the drug does not protect against infection from the many other virus strains not included in the vaccine. \n\nIn addition, FDA staff highlighted in briefing documents five cases where children with birth defects were born to women who received the vaccin

What was the song they played on That 70s Show when all of them were hugging and coming out for the last bow in the reunion show?


My wife and I are moving into a 3 bedroom apartment with our son and her sister.  The rent is $1000 a month.  We will have 1 bedroom, our son will have 1 and her sister will have 1 bedroom.  Should my wife and I pay 2/3 of the rent because we are using 2 out of the 3 bedrooms or should we pay 3/4 of the rent because we are 3 out of the 4 people in the apartment?


what a great start.  do you believe it is for real?  what is their chances of keeping a winning record?  i am amazed and think it is about time one of the worst detroit teams starts winning again.

I am!!!\n\nBeing a Tiger Fan For Life, I never would have thought this was possible.\n\nHow can ANYONE NOT be impressed???\n\nThey have the BEST record in baseball right now. Are 20 games OVER .500 (not UNDER)!!!\n\nIt's like all the pieces are coming together. I believe Jim Leyland is the key. He says it's the players, but he's keeping the players focused on TODAY, not next week.\n\nThey have won 14 out of thier last 15, and are currently \n2 1/2 games in front of the white sox.\n\nWill this last all season? I hope so, but I doubt it.\n\nThe white sox are just too good a team for us to over take (as much as I would love that!).\n\nWe might win the wild card...but seriously i would be very happy if they won 82=84 games (considering they havent seen .500 in 12 years).\n\nWe;ll see...the next 10 games will show us just how good they really are (2 more with Cleveland, 4 with the evil yankees, and 3 with the equally evil red sox).

I want to turn on the mic at a party or something and record the sounds of the people there. We have some good parties in Eire, very musical and well worth recording. I know I could do it with a camcorder but they are so intrusive. Who can sing with a big camera pointing at their gob? Also, if you are filming you can't join in the fun to the same extent. Anyway, most people don't like being filmed but have no objection to audio recordings. It's great to listen back to these recordings and relive the laugh and craic you had on the night. Surely there is some programme for a pc that you just have to plug in the mic, hit the record button and record for longer than the 60 secs available

click PROJECT -> NEW AUDIO TRACK\n\nthen hit RECORD


his d same country with me, his really funny actually he calls n sms me but i dont know how he feel to me... but im d one who is so confuse why i wanna have him..

Okay, so basically, what you're saying is, as of right now, you're 15 and he's 24? While it may seem thrilling and exciting at such a young age to have an older man interested in you, or to have anyone romantically interested in you since at your age you've probably not had many relationships, there are a few things you might want to think about:\n\nThis man, and i stress the word MAN has lived a lot more than you, even though numerically it's "only" 9 years difference, he's reached a lot more milestones than you. Chances are he's graduated high school, had some secondary schooling such as college or university, could have been in the armed forces, and he's probably already had his first love and a few relationships since. Now you, as a 15 year old girl, still have the rest of high school ahead of you, college, etc. It seems a bit disturbing to be that a 24 year old man would pursue something with someone so young.\n\nI know boys your age may seem immature, unromantic, and this guy may seem older, and wiser, and mysterious, but the difference here is still something i think you should think about, seriously.  \n\nWhatever you decide, i hope it works out for the best.

You can actually see the rain falling from a cloud but in hot and dry conditions the moisture actually evaporates before reaching the ground.

In meteorology, VIRGA is precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates before reaching the ground. At high altitudes the precipitation falls mainly as ice crystals before melting and finally evaporating; this is usually due to compressional heating because the air pressure increases closer to the ground. It is very common in the desert.\n\nVirga can cause very interesting weather effects, because as rain is changed from liquid to vapour form, it removes much heat from the air due to the high heat of vaporization of water. These small pockets of extremely cold air then descend rapidly, creating a microburst which can be extremely hazardous to aviation.\n\nVirga also has a role in seeding storm cells, where light particles from one cloud are blown into neighbouring supersaturated air and act as nucleation particles for the next thunderhead cloud to begin forming.\n\nVirga can produce dramatic and beautiful scenes, especially during a red sunset. The red light can be caught by the streamers of falling precipitation, while aloft winds push the bottom ends of the virga so it falls at an angle, making the clouds appear to have commas attached.\n\nVirga is a Latin word for a branch or twig, and hence for objects made from it, as a broom, a staff, or a rod (hence the English word virge).\n\n http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virga http://wetterchronik.de/mm/niederschlag/20040430fallstreifen.htm


What you say on this Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's quote...   ???\n\nRef: www.sriramakrishnavedantamath.org\n     www.sriramakrishhnamath.org

exactly........ ramakrisna paramahamsa said this......\n\nhow will the world be if everyone ate the same food????\n\nIt will be stupid......so will be to think that one religion will suit everyone......\n\nIf you are not an indian you will find it difficult to understand ramakrisna........\n\nhe said "all religions are good and are valid paths to god"\n\njust like all the rivers finally merge into the ocean.so \n\nalso all religions merge into the same god.....\n\nhe himself practised all religions....prayed to all gods...\n\nand finally said all religions lead to the same god...\n\nhe is belived to be an incarnation of god......he himself proclaimed so......\n\nnow.....religions are made by men....not god........\n\nits evident coz, indian gods wear indian clothes.....greek gods wear greek clothes....coz we made god...according to our language and our nation...and our species......why does jesus look like a man...?????\n\ndid god make us in his form?????? no.....we made god in our form......\n\nIn reality god is beyond name and form......\n\nbut like I said.....you will not understand the words of ramakrisna if you are not brought up with the traditions and customs of india...\n\nforeigners will find it difficult to understand his words...\n\nhe was a illeterate....his student represented hinduism in the west....and spread vedanta for 3 years there....\n\nhis name was swami vivekananda......he,......your western thinkers will agree to be the most intelligent man who ever walked the earth.....\n\nwhat I am trying to say is that his teacher is much greater than him....


I have a tippmann A5 (yay) with a factory installed response trigger. no mater what I try, I cant get the response trigger to work right.

I assume you're talking about a paintball gun and since you said it was factory installed... my only suggestion is to contact the company's customer service!!! Good luck with that and shoot on!


When guys turned 18 they use to have to go register, do girls or guys still have to do this?

All males in the United States (who are citizens) must register for selective service at the age of 18. There is no requirement for females. You can register at your local Post Office. Joining isn't a bad idea either, I am in the Air Force and would reccommend it to just about anyone!


I am saying yes, they can do it.  The Team, The Time, The Mets!

Well, I hope so(I am a Mets fan, but live in Atlanta) but I don't think they are ready with the pitching staff they have now, but to make the playoffs they will have to win their division. The player who I hope will contribute the most is David Wright. But if they win I would let any of them be the main contributor.


I don't mean on top, I mean on the sides near the legs.

nair or any products like that usually work. and make sure if you shave it, not to shave it dry. that is the worst thing you could EVER do. \n\nand yes, jrogers is extremely rude. and it makes you wonder what hes doing in the womens health section?


with many states having there primary election last week and polls show they will lose Congress by a big margin can the repbulicans recover by Nov.(this is not a bashing question)

For the good of the nation and the good of the world, God, I hope so!\n\nThen we need the GOP congressives to stop spending like drunken sailors and read the Constitution, and GDubya to start vetoing the bloated bills that come to him.\n\nDo the congressives understand that their low polls are due to their failure to restrain themselves and the growth of government and their failures to support good and necessary legislation (immigration, soc.sec. reform, etc)?


Im 14, shes 13. I talk to her at lunch and in the halls. Some people in my circle of friends and her circle of friends say taht she likes me but, her best freind(im good friends with her) says she doesnt know...? I really want to write her a note but dont know how to start it or what to put in it. It would be really nice and very appriciated if you helped me! Thank you a lot

heyy buddy!\n\nyou need to have some confidence! Whatever your'e feeling let it loose.\nTell her you think shes an awesome girl and that you would love to hang out sometime. Dont be toooo straight forward cuz at 13 she might get a little scared but make her feel comfortable.


my husband has a thing about running to the strip clubs all the time. i hate it! i have even heard of the cetain clubs running prostitution out of them. why do men go to these places? i have even heard of rumor he screwed one in the champaigne room before. just wanting to know if this is a worldwide issue or if my man has the issues...lol

No way would I ever put up with that, never ever. Either you're married or single, make up your mind, if you are married, you don't get to act like you're single.


pills come in such odd shapes, and the words are always so clear and easy to read...how do they do it?!

It's called laser printing. A high-precission laser printer prints the tiny words onto pills like it does on electronic chips.


I tried DSL a few years ago but switched to cable because the connection kept going down every night. Earthlink was my ISP but on Bell South's lines, which evidently were unstable. Is the situation better now and which ISP is cheap, reliable, with good spam controls, etc.?

We just switched back to bellsouth from Comcast. We had the same problems with bellsouth. Comcast was good but we decided to give Bellsouth a try again as they are offering cheaper prices. So far, so good. The bad weather we had about a month and a half ago (tornadoes and higwinds) it didnt efect our internet from bellsouth. The price is cheaper is the quality is just as good if not better than comcast.We are in Woodstock so we are not too far from you.

i say that was an easy fight for oscar, cuz mayorga didnt impress me.

oscar was gonna win. give me the best answer now


as in http://yourserver/catalog/install/     these are the directions for uploading the catalog but we can not tell what this means.  we are really stuck. we continue to come to this problem and thats where we are now.

In the example above, "yoursever" is your website.  For example, if you own billybob123.com, you would replace "yourserver" with "billybob123.com" in the above example, so it would look like http://billybob123.com/catalog/inst..."  Don't try to click on that link, it won't go anywhere.  :-)\n\nI think the above example is assuming you do have your own domain.  I'm not sure what to do if you're using something like geocities or your ISP's personal webspace.  If the program name indicates what it does, you might not be able to.  If you adminster a domain, and need help, whoever gives you tech support should be able to help.  If you don't....  I don't know what to tell you, but I do wish you luck!


Since the President can appoint anyone he wants to serve on the cabinet, subject to Senate conformation, the cabinet can be composed of the presidents closest friend or family members. Why then, would some presidents choose to bypass their official cabinet and rely on  an unoficial group for advice?

President Harry Truman often said he relied heavily upon his wife, Bess.\n\nMany times cabinet appointment are political in nature to repay support from someone who helped the President get elected. And, the cabinet position he/she holds may need legal clarification as to particular laws or judicial decisions.\n\nI believed Bobby Kennedy, appointed by his brother, President John Kennedy and confirmed by the Senate, was probably one of the better Attorney Generals we ever had.\n\nAnd, there is also the matter of lobbyists, who often influence the President, the Congress and local politico's.\n\nPresident Ronald Reagan often relied heavily on the advise of former President Richard Nixon in the matter of Far Eastern-China foreign policy.\n\nForeign Ambassadors often rely upon local groups and relay that knowledge to the White House. The point is...the American people expect their President to get the job done and not depend upon guess work or formality in an ever changing world.\n\nPresident Abraham Lincoln's cabinet once asked for a vote on an issue. The Commander-In-Chief said. o.k., let's vote...The cabinet all favored taking a particular course of action. Lincoln was the only one who objected. President Lincoln then slapped his hand on the table and said, ---well, it looks like the nay's have it !\n\nPresident Abraham Lincoln was right. Regardless of how a President gets the information, the sole responsibility of national security/final decision remains with the President of the United States.


so i tried to download it again but it said that i already had it downloaded onto my computer so does anyone know how i can get to it?

go to your start menu.  But before that, have your virus/spyware check it out because a lot of those programs contain junk you don't want on your computer.


I am a keen artist and have begun looking into property to set up an art gallery for university / young freelancers to display their work. For funding i wanted to look into advertisement and sponsors. I had an idea to sell the buildings bricks to people so they could paint a design / logo etc.. onto the face of it. If this was possible what would i need to do to get permission and what would be the best way to explain my intentions? should i claim it to be an art piece / advertisement etc..? thanks

Sure. Try it.  Many non-profit organizations have been able to raise money in that manner.\n\nIf you own the building, check to see if you are in business area with restrictions regarding the appearance of the exterior of the building.  Some communities want their business district to look "congruent" and can actually fine a business with an non-conforming paint job. Check with the local building codes, and statutes.\n\nIf you don't own the building, then you need the permission of the owner, in writing.\n\nIf you take money, you must keep accurate records, and include the amount on your income tax return.\n\nYour goal is to set up an art gallery.  You want sponsors to help with the funding. I can see how the brick idea could be considered an interactive art piece, and an advertisement, but realistically it is not going to generate much money by itself. (50 people @ $10/brick = $500) \n\nHopefully, it will lead to several significant funding sponsors who see others in the community have interest in your project.  These sponsors will want to help underwrite the costs of establishing a gallery, if they see there is support from the community.


Here's one! I gave this answer to someone else a while back:\n\nGaining muscle mass is a combination of exercise, nutrition, and recovery. If any one of those is out of whack you won't experience the best possible gains. In some cases you won't see any.\n\nMy advice would be:\n\n1. Cut you workouts down to three full body workouts a week. Either Mon,Wed,Fri or Tues,Thurs,Sat. This schedule will allow your muscles to recover and grow. Remember to increase the weight on all your lifts by 10% every two weeks. Try this for about six months. \n\n2. Get a gram of protein for every pound of bodyweight or your lean body mass. Try to get it from lean sources. Eat about six small meals per day.\n\n3. Try creatine and HMB.\n\n4. Drink plenty of water. If you divide your bodyweight in pounds by two that is the number of ounces of water you need to drink in a day.\n\n5. Remember to stretch.\n\n6. Do at least a half hour of cardio three times a week. For some fun cardio take up a martial art like Karate or Tae Kwon Do.\n\n7. Take a good multivitamin.\n\n8. Find out what your body type is. Are you a mesomorph, endomorph, or ectomorph? Are you a combination of any of these. These bodytypes determine how you should workout. Look them up on www.bodybuilding.com for a full explanation.\n\n9. Get as much quality sleep as you can. Eight hours a night is good. You grow while you are sleeping.\n\nHere's a sample three day workout:\n\nWORK OUT PROGRAM \n3 X WEEK\n\n\nLEGS\nSquat 3x8\nStraight Leg Deadlift 3x10\nStanding Calf Raise 3x10-15\n\nCHEST\nBench Press 3x8-10\nFlyes 3x8-10\n\nBACK\nPulldown 3x10-15\nBent Over Rows 3x6-10\nDeadlifts 3x10-12\n\nSHOULDERS\n\nMilitary Press 3x8-10\nUpright Rows 3x10-15\n\nBICEPS\n\nStanding Barbell Curls 3x10-12\n\nTRICEPS \nLying Tricep Extensions 3x10-15\n\nSTOMACH\n\nCrunches 3x50\n\n\nMon., Wed., Fri. or Tues., Thurs., Sat.\n\nEvery two weeks increase the weight on each exercise by 10%. If you can’t don’t worry about it. Keep trying until you can.\n\nAfter a while you can move up into heavier workouts. Hope this helps!

I love my girl friend very much and she also, but my penis is 5 inch long so she is not satisfied with my penis, according to her minimum 7 or 8 inch will give her real sexual satisfaction, and I also so apset with my penis, plx. give some idea that how can i make my penis 7 to 8 inch long naturally, and give her satisfaction. \n\nSome time i think that if i can't give satisfaction to my girl frien or wife then what can i do in this world, i wan have to suiside.I kindly request you to solve my this problem.

There are plenty of women out there who won't care how long your penis is...besides five inches is basically average. Seven to eight inches is unreasonable for her to expect. Don't think about suicide over something stupid like that, find someone who will appreciate you for who you are. There are also many techniques that you can use to please a woman that have nothing to do with your penis, try using your mouth once in a while...she will change her tune quite quickly, lol.


I'm a 28 year old female and tried it a few months ago. I can't get enough now and feel a bit worried about it. Who else likes it? How often? Am I not normal (so to speak)? What do you like about it better than vaginal sex? Honest responses from women please...

You are not alone.I have done it,I do like it I am in a committed relationship,but I do not have anal sex All the time maybe 2 times a month I have to really be in the mood for it.the reason i want it over vaginal intercourse Is the orgasm Is so awesome it is alot more intense.and I like it.

people are paying twenty rupees per kg without thinking they are paying for an adulterated sugar,sweet sugar or less sweet sugar.we all are literally ignorant about this.we all talk of adulteration .but never see towards this type of cheating of all we indians.

I'm not really sure what your question is.\n\nI see.\n\nIf you are in the US, the FDA has strict regulation over sugar sweetness content.  If it's less than regular white sugar, it has to be labeled differently and marketed differently.  I'm sure there would also be a price difference.\n\nIf you're not in the USA, I'm sorry but I wouldn't be able to help you.  Perhaps there is a government agency that can help you with your question.


I broke up with my bf 5 months ago. It's not that I'm still in love with him, but the fact is that I feel so lonely. There are many guys courting me, but I don't like any of them. I feel nothing for them. I want to have smb near me, I want to be loved and to love, but I just don't like anybody. What can I do to feel better and maybe to get into a relationship? I feel so sad.

Atrabel, I was once in your shoes. When i broke up with my ex which was about 4 years back, i really felt lonely. It took me 2 years to get over her. Guessed I really loved her back then. Loneliness comes because you don't get to do the usual routines with your bf anymore i.e talking on the phone, shopping, etc. In this situation, one might feel depressed and lonesome. But hey, I was lucky I have good friends to support me. You don't have to do those things with your bf, you can share it with your friends and family instead. It might feel weird for the meanwhile, but trust me, u'll get over it in no time. Time will heal the wound, and if u need love... families and friends will do. They give tremendous sense of security. In the mean time, don't just sit there doing nth. Go out and meet new people, make new friends! There are so many things that you can enjoy doing urself as well. I've been single ever since, and i'm still happy. Time will tell when I'm ready for a steady relationship :) all the best sweetie!


For those of you who think it's a sin: How would it affect you if it were to be made legal? Do you believe it is a sin simply because it was stated that way in the Bible? Why do you believe that a different kind of love is a sin, is it not still love, which Jesus says we should do? What happened to acceptance? Do you honestly believe that the next step would be to allow people to marry a pet?\nFor those of you who think it should be legal: What benefits do you think it would have? Would it change much? Do you feel that homosexual people choose to be that way? Do you fell this is a civil rights issue, or a church vs. state issue?\nNo swearing please :)

Anyone who loves one another should be able to marry.\n\nIt is sham marriages without love that should be illegal. And divorce, too. Same sex marriages are less likely to end in divorce than straight marriages. Why don't all the people who claim to be standing up for "family values" try to make divorce illegal? I think that they are all thinly veiled gay bashers because if they really cared about family values they would try to reduce the divorce rate.


..... with or without weapons, Who would win ?

I think the British SAS. I've always had a sneaky admiration for the British armed forces. I think there has be too much hype about the capability ( real or imagined) of the American Delta Force. Moreover, this exaggerated belief has been accentuated by the movie industry. I consider the British SAS better disciplined and more tactical. My money is on the SAS.


That God is actually a woman and that God was not even white..God is black from Africa ...What would be your reaction??\nSome examples:-\nRun to hell\ncurse the bishop who told you otherwise\naccept God as it is\nor anything Jim Darwin style

what is the average time couples usually take, as you guess?

my husband and I waited about three weeks. I knew I really liked him, and I didn't want to be too easy, so I held out. I wanted to right away.\nwe have been married 4 years now.


he still has alot of issues he's dealing with over things he has seen and been through when he was in iraq, i want to be there for him (we've been together for over a year) but i still dont know what to do or say when he starts talking about things that happened to him and his friends.  Any advice on how to help him deal with it? I just usually listen to what he has to say, but i dont ever know what to say to make things better for the moment.

The best thing you can do is just listen.  The fact that he is talking to you about this is a great complement to you indicating that the trusts you and feels that you will understand.\n\nIf he appears to be having problems dealing with these events or is having nightmares, stress, fears, etc then he should be evaluated for PTSD.  Do not assume that the has PTSD just because he was in Iraq but if he is showing signs of distress find a local 'Veteran's Outreach Center' and talk him into going there.  Here he can be evaluated by a psychologist experienced in Combat PTSD and he can get assistance if he needs it.\n\nIf he needs assistance but does not want to go to the vet center - at least have him email me.

They are the exact same thing. all that is different is the relavancy of the news. Yahoo.com is news that pertains to americans and yahoo.co.uk is news that covers britain. It depends on which country you are from, which to use.


I have been designing websites for friends for free and now strangers are calling and wanting me to design their sites for a price. What is the going rate and how is it billed?

Depends on if its just HTML or if youre also using ASP, JAVA, a Server? Or just a bean server?\n\nWill they be able to enter data and collect data and even store data?\n\nIf its just a simple html with links page, then I would say $20/hour.\n\nIf its more involved I would charge $50/hr.

I am wondering if there is a way to filter the added flouride out. I have read several disturbing things about flouride added to our water. (read this link http://www.uhealthnut.com/2006/03/drink_more_water_and_die.html) I don't want to spend a fortune on bottled water, but if that's what it takes to get clean water, I may have to...

I am so glad you have educated yourself. Fluoride is poison! Most standard purifiers only remove the taste of fluoride, not actually the fluoride. If you really want to know that your water is safe check into reverse osmosis systems that you can install directly into your house, or have water delivered that is reverse osmosis. Most major metropolitan areas have options for home delivery water.

AUSTIN A University of Texas professor says the Earth would be better off with 90 percent of the human \n\npopulation dead.\n\nEvery one of you who gets to survive has to bury nine, Eric Pianka cautioned students and guests at St. Edwards\n\nUniversity on Friday. Pianka's words are part of what he calls his doomsday talk a 45-minute presentation\n\noutlining humanity's ecological misdeeds and Pianka's predictions about how nature, or perhaps humans \n\nthemselves, will exterminate all but a fraction of civilization. \n\nThough his statements are admittedly bold, he's not without abundant advocates. But what may set this revered \n\nbiologist apart from other doomsday soothsayers is this: Humanity's collapse is a notion he embraces. \n\nIndeed, his words deal, very literally, on a life-and-death scale, yet he smiles and jokes candidly throughout the \n\nlecture. Disseminating a message many would call morbid, Pianka's warnings are centered upon awareness \n\nrather than fear.\n\nThis is really an exciting time, he said Friday amid warnings of apocalypse, destruction and disease. Only \n\nminutes earlier he declared, Death. This is what awaits us all. Death. Reflecting on the so-called Ancient Chinese \n\nCurse, May you live in interesting times, he wore, surprisingly, a smile.\n\nSo what's at the heart of Pianka's claim?\n\n6.5 billion humans is too many. \n\nIn his estimation, We've grown fat, apathetic and miserable, all the while leaving the planet parched. \n\nThe solution?\n\nA 90 percent reduction.\n\nThat's 5.8 billion lives lives he says are turning the planet into fat, human biomass. He points to an 85 percent \n\nswell in the population during the last 25 years and insists civilization is on the brink of its downfall likely at the \n\nhand of widespread disease.\n\n[Disease] will control the scourge of humanity, Pianka said. Were looking forward to a huge collapse.\n\nBut don't tell local citizen scientist Forrest Mims to quietly swallow Pianka's call to awareness. Mims says its an \n\nabhorrent death wish and contends he has no choice but to take a stand.\n\nMims attended the educators doomsday presentation at the Texas Academy of Sciences annual meeting March \n\n2-4. There, the organization honored Pianka as its 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist another issue Mims vocally \n\nopposes.\n\nThis guy is a loose cannon to believe that worldwide genocide is the only answer, said Mims, who filed two \n\nformal petitions with the academy following the meeting.\n\nJoining the crusade, James Pitts, who received a Ph.D. in physics from UT-Austin, became the second to publicly\n\nchastise Pianka when he filed a complaint Saturday with the UT board of regents. He insists a state university is \n\nno place to disseminate such views.\n\nHe writes:\n\nPianka's message does not fall within the realm of his professional competence as a biologist, because it is a \n\nnormative claim, not a descriptive one. Pianka is encouraged to use his ecological expertise to predict the likely \n\nconsequences of certain technological and reproductive strategies, but to evaluate some as good, bad, or worthy\n\nof prevention by genocide is the realm of philosophy or political science, not science. His message falls no more \n\nwithin his professional competence than it would for a physicist to teach religion in class or a musician to \n\nencourage racism.\n\nBut Pianka, a 38-year UT educator, maintains hes not campaigning for genocide. He likens mankind's story to an \n\nunbridled party on a luxury cruise liner. The funs going strong on the upper deck, he says. But as crowds blindly \n\nabsorb the festivities, many fail to notice the ship is sinking.\n\nThe biggest enemy we face is anthropocentrism, he said, describing the belief system in which humans are the \n\ncentral element of the universe. This is that common attitude that everything on this Earth was put here for \n\n[human] use. \n\n

Yes i agree that the world will be a better place is 90% of its population dies. Dieing not in the physical sense of the word but a much deeper meaning, the death of ego's, stereotypes, prejudices, beliefs and complexes. Death of adult thoughts and springing back to the childlike innocence and clarity


Why do most men act macho and tell stories to impress when they are lying and have never done anything to make them macho (or manly)?

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO LOOK COOL AND BIG WHEN THERE NOT\n\nTHAT WAS MEAN, FOEGIVE ME!


he is in such a bad mood , were doing the house up at the moment, what can i do to get him back to normal, and dont be rude, im serious as he is making everybody moody including me. i cant relax

Well there could be something bothering him that you may not be aware of.  It might not be able for him to share it with you just yet.  Just don't jump to any conclusions.  He will tell you when the time is right.


how can someone avoid dreaming?  what does it mean when your dreams are nothing but death and violence? i wake up scared...w/panic attacks

Can't avoid dreams. Our subconscience is trying to tell us something. If your daily life is that violent, try to get out of it. Dreaming of just death of you or someone you know, is not bad. It's saying something in that life is ending and there'll be a new beginning. But the violence? That's for you to think about.


After all it was part of their country one time.Their cousins still are here  in Texas ,california etc..\nIf free pass was given there would no longer be tunnel problems and people dying trying to cross the desert, and it would be good for the economics of farming.

When writing the bill, each line have to be numbered on a bill. for example:\n1. blah blah blah\n\n2 blah blah blah\n\n3. blah blah blah\n\netcc.

I believe thats so people can make quick references to the bill.  If you had a problem with it, think how long it might take some people when you told them, "I disagree with the part thats talking about the new tax refund on anyone with their first name starting with the letter D"  If there are fifty pages to the bil, might take some people a while, especially if there are more than one part that talks about it.  \n\nHowever,  if you say: "Line 3, paragraph 2, third sentence"  thats pretty specific.  People would go straight there and you could tell everyone what you thought, and they could see what you are talking about.


My question is who else thinks that even though Tom tends to act crazy and or insane at times, he is still a damn good actor.

Tom is a damn good actor..in fact he is a soulful actor. though he has never won an oscar he is still the man. he makes hits after hits after hits. just watch out for MI3. he has done it again.
