Ever since I returned from Viet Nam I regularly get a red, stinging, itching spots between my toes that finally manifest in large water-filled bulbuous blisters that still sting and itch. The blisters finally break and slowly heal over a week with the stinging and itching. It does not respond to normal Athlete's Foot meds and does not look like athletes foot I had experienced prior. The bubble like blisters are the most dominant characteristic. If I can put a name to it, hopefully I can find a specific med to put on it. Many thanks

Where you in the military when you came back from Viet Nam?  If so, go to your closest VA Medical Center and they will take care of you.  If not, it's something you need to go to your doctor for, ASAP!


I would like to wear capri pants and sandals to a company picnic (which will expose my tatoo).  Most of the people I will see there I have not met yet (older more conservative crowd) and would like to make a good impression.

makeup... a good conceler does wonders... if that dont work try wearing socks up high enough to cover it or a band aid... if not claim that its fake =)\n\nin any event its a company picinic.. you are not the first person to get a tattoo nor are you the last... i doubt they are stupid enough to kick up a fuss over it... if they do discriminate.. sue


And why hasn't Bono thought of this? (ok, that last one wasn't a REAL question).

i agree. we must first deal with the problems on earth


How? Any scientific explanation? Thanks!

Most flowerheads on a field of blooming sunflowers are turned towards the east, where the sun rises each morning. Immature sunflowers in the bud stage exhibit heliotropism; on sunny days the bud tracks the sun on its journey along the sky from east to west, while at night or at dawn it returns to its eastward orientation. The motion is performed by motor cells in the pulvinus, a flexible segment of the stem just below the bud. The stem stiffens at the end of the bud stage, and when the blooming stage is reached the stem freezes in its eastward direction. Thus, blooming sunflowers are not heliotropic anymore, even though most flowerheads are facing the direction where the sun rises.


My work always make people take more than one non-paid lunch or sent home if its slow. Ive worked at callcenters before and that has never happended. whats the labor laws on that?

You can look up labor laws for your state. Here in Texas an employer can't make you take an unpaid lunch break unless you are completely free of ANY type of work. Just do a search for labor laws and see what you find. I did this the other day for an issue my sister had with her employeer.


How to process the REQUEST that comes in the /DocumentRoot/demo folder? The request will come from the IMG tag. ie IMG src="http://a.bcd.co.jp/demo/A.jpg"\nThere will be no php script to be called. The php script will be called when a request comes to /demo and a jpeg file in the URL.

I have two ways maybe can solve your problem.\n\nFirst, using Apache Directory setting, all request to the demo directory will be prepend a php file first, here is the example of how to configure the setting :\n\n1.create a file that named .htaccess , and put it under demo directory\n2.the content of .htaccess is like below\n\n<Directory /DocumentRoot/demo>\nphp_value auto_prepend_file "The/PHP/File/You/Want/to/Exec"\n</Directory>\n\nThe Second way is to show the image by php, the HTML code will like this:\n<img src=/demo/showimg.php border=0>, then inside the showimg.php , you can code it like below:\n\n<?PHP\n// Do the things you want ........... \nHeader("Content-type: image/PNG"); // Using PNG For Example\nreadfile("/DocumentRoot/demo/Some/where/Your/Image/Is");\n?>\n\nHope this can help you


I am an amateur rapper!!\nPlease respond immediately as I am competing tonight!\nWords that rhyme with colors!\nSilver...\nPurple...\nOrange...\nGood Luck!

PURPLE\nThere's the British English word 'Hirple' (to walk lamely or hobble) and the Scottish word 'Curple' referring to the hindquarters of a horse. And 'empurple'/'impurple' (to dye/tinge purple).\n\nSILVER\nThere is, of course, 'quicksilver', 'seasilver', and the like. 'Pilfer' is considered the closet English rhyme.\n\nORANGE\n'Sporange' is a synonym for sporangium (a spore case or sac). You may also want to look at the first source I have listed below for various poems and songs rhyming with 'orange' by breaking words across lines. All's fair in rap and rhyme.


I need to fix it before out landlord sees this....

You can get plaster (spackle?) in a tub at Home Depot or Lowes. Fill in the hole with the plaster. You might have to let it dry so it's hard before you put another layer on it - depends how deep the hole is. Once it's filled in, you'll need to sand it so that it's as smooth as the wall. A little paint and you should be set.


It will be our 20th year of the school next year (2007).  Our school emphasizes academics more than athletics, but we would still like a mascot/team name.  The team name/mascot doesn't have to be tied to academics; please consider this question seriously.  I'm just trying to get a variety of people's opinions.  Just something that is a good team name.

Assclowns. I bet nobody else uses that name. Using a cool name like Assclowns has the added benefit that your school could sell MILLIONS of t-shirts featuring your mascot ... the Assclown. That would be awesome.

There is not one shred of evidence in favor of evolution yet it is widely accepted as fact by some of the most respected circles in the world. It takes more faith to believe we crawled out of slim then it does to believe that a loving God created a complex world and all the life in it. Evolution has become a religon with followers who force their religion on us. Why is evolution (an obvious lie) still forced upon us as fact?

Believing in God is what is usually forced through our religious centres or families, since childhood. I don't think there is true reasoning, logic or 'evidence' involved in religious fundamentalism.\n\nAccording to science, as on today, evolution seems to be the most probable reason for the life within and around us. We don't know a lot about how it all started. Our schools are telling, hopefully, the same to every student - nothing more, nothing less. \n\nBelief in God is a good thing for spirituality and peace of mind. But the trouble comes when we get attached to any of our beliefs so much that we get irritated about anything that goes against our beliefs. This is the reason behind major conflicts today. If we find comfort in a particular belief, we should simply follow it as long it doesn't hurt anyone.


If there are readily available and affordable souces of clay that can be trucked to the pond site....

I think this guy is talking about bentonite.  It's an expanding, ultra-low permeability clay that comes in pellets or chips (dry, of course).  We use it in the environmental business to seal between groundwater layers.

Why oh why? I've read 10 questions about death i like 5 min. now. We are all going to die, what more is there to know about it? Why would you want to know how or when you're going to die? Can't everyone just realx and live for the moment instead of worrying about the future? The only interesting question regarding death is What happens after you've died?

a lot-o-people are weird, and are overly obsessed over death and the idea of dieing. \n\nto me, death is stupid, and i dun care if i live or die the next day, oh well im dead woop woop. so yeah, alot of people are just stupid and want to think about whats going to happen tomarrow and shiz >__< \n\nthere just dumb aszes

I think people would go to a party like that, because it's a party (people like parties) and it's for a good cause (regardless of your politics).\nFood: whatever you want.  Maybe some red, white, and blue themed stuff.\nActivities: hang out, listen to music, watch a movie, play some games... whatever you think would be fun.\n\nHow long: once again, your call, you know these people.  Maybe a few hours?

There is nothing.  Its the same as life was before you were conceived...no thought, no light, no heaven/hell/reincarnation...nothing.\n\nLife ends, and I don't fear this.  I DO fear dying, but not ceasing to be.  Think about it, many religions include life never-ending (with reincarnation or an afterlife), but no one knows for sure.  So, where did this information come from?  Only rumor, speculation, and assumption.  You might as well describe what life is like on Pluto...no one knows.


is evidence collected from spying admissable in court, or is it enough to take someone to court on terror accusations?

The evidence collected by the NSA, for example, when monitoring traffic from an enemy in some other country contacting some one here had better be admissible in court or we are all in danger of the next 9/11. The patriot act gives us the tools necessary to (hopefully) prevent terrorists\nfrom doing us any more harm here or abroad. Had Clinton had that available the first time the twin towers were attacked, we may have prevented 9/11 from ever happening.

they look similar, or maybe they are the same?

The swastika (Sanskrit svastika) is a cross with four arms of equal length, with the ends of each arm bent at a right angle. Sometimes dots are added between each arm.\n\nThe swastika is an ancient symbol found worldwide and especially common in India. The swastika's Indian name comes the Sanskrit word svasti, meaning good fortune, luck and well being. In Hinduism, the right-hand (clockwise) swastika is a solar symbol and the left-hand (counterclockwise) swastika represents Kali and magic. The Buddhist swastika is almost always clockwise.\n\nIn Buddhism, the swastika was commonly used in sacred art before the days of the Buddha image. As in Hinduism, it signified auspiciousness and good fortune, but also symbolized the Buddha's footprints.\n\nThe swastika has often been used to mark the beginning of Buddhist texts. In China and Japan, the Buddhist swastika was seen as a symbol of plurality, eternity, abundance, prosperity and long life.\n\nToday, the swastika is still used as an auspicious mark on Buddhist images and temples. It is also often inscribed on the chest, palms or feet of images of the Buddha. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is used as a clothing decoration.\n\nThe swastika itself has its origions in India over 3000 years ago. It was used to represent the balancing of spritual power/movement. It was later adopted by Buddhism because of its close relationship with the dharma. This symbol was taken and misused during the Second World War for the glorification of Nazism which interestingly enough got its symbol from Tibet/Nepal region.\nDr. Himmler (aka nutball of the SS) believed that Nepal held a secret of the "Aryan Kingdom". Sounds like Sci-Fi or some bizzaro movie plot but it is historically accurate-- Himmler believed that the Aryans were a superior human race among many things and that the Nepalese people were empowered beings. \nthey took the symbol to get power and used it to "protect" their radical political organisation believeing that they could get some sort of power from it.\nThe truth is that the swastika really was never meant to represent hate or nazism --- and only when placed on its axis does it refer to nazism--- at 90 degrees it represents the dharma.

Any washing liquid will be a mixture of various substances, usually water-based.\n\nStandard components are detergents - molecules with a polar and an apolar end which can absorb on fatty (lipophile) substances and provide solution in the polar medium with their polar end. Classical soaps are sodium salts of fatty acids.\n\nOther ingredients vary strongly with the purpose of the washing up liquid. Perfumes, enzymes to digest specific types of pollutants, bleaching agents (usually oxydative), emulgators, Calcium-removers (like polyphosphate, zeoliths or chelating agents)...

Not sure how I got Bursitis in my hip but the doc says that it is caused by back problems. I have not over worked these areas and the only thing I can say is that I slouch at the computer to much and maybe I have a bad pillow or bed. I really hate this pain for I can't sit on the floor cross lagged, sleep right, get in and out of a bath tub. Its just a big pain in the hip. The doc also said not exercising, just some streching. Please help I am to young for this?!

NO NO NO. Bursitis in NOT caused by back problems!!!  OMG that dr. is not giving you good info.  It is an inflammation of the Bursa sac that is in the joint.  It swells and then causes pressure and pain.  You can use ice and ibuprofen (if okay with dr.) or some other kind of NSAID.  You can also get injections into the joint that will take away the pain (they hurt a bit but are worth it if it helps). You may be sitting to much and aggravating the bursitis but you need more into about it.  Go to webmd and put in bursitis to learn more about it.  It is worth learning about.  Unfortunetly no one is too young to get arthritis.


Here's the deal, we can get married methodist (his church) and then get remarried Catholic (my church) when his annulment comes through.  That's what we want but Mom and Dad want the big ceremony Catholic.  I can't be too pushy because they will bring up the fact that they are paying for the wedding.  Does that give them the right to control our wedding?  Eloping sounds better all the time but I still want to walk down the aisle and have our family and friends there to celebrate with us.

Let them know that paying does not imply planning, they are helping your wedding not planning the perfect one they wish they had. This is your day no one should keep you from what you want. Do what you feel is right don't follow others orders just cause they're paying the tab. Is that the only reason they're help, so they can control it? If you get anything besides love and support don't let them pay for it because as the wedding gets closer they'll just be more and more controling

Metobolic syndrom is being fat because  it operates slow, but what about mitochondria metobolic system where it deterioates cells faster...  ie losing weight rapidly even though I am eating fatty foods. what do i do?

You eat a lot and don't gain any weight.  Which if you are young is probably not a problem.  Doctors can prescribe drugs and hormones to correct this problem.  However, it might not be a problem with your metabolism, it could be something like a anemia, tapeworm, or just about any other illness.  The good thing is that they can just about all be corrected or eliminated with prescriptions and proper diets.  Best advice on this one, just talk to your doctor.


Heard that every new computer has a secret hidden code that is attached to every email that helps the Gov. track you down if you do something very bad. True or False?

TRUE \nTHE e-mail you send can allow the recepient to know from the computer the mail was send , it works this way , it show you exact ip addresses of how it pass till it got to your computer, and with the IP address you can easily trace which county, then narrow down to which who provide the service , then the owner of the computer, actually there are so many software that can hide you also that you can never be trace , but i just don't need to mention so don't do bad , and don't cheat onlnie so you will not be found wanted \nif u send a mail to me i can track the INTERNET PROVIDER  that give you link , but there are other people that there job is to trace you down home, such as CIA ,FBI and th rest ,

You have to set your computer to actually boot to the disc. It won't automatcially read the disc.\n\nTo do this, while your computer is booting up, it should show you what button to press to enter BIOS (the button is different depending on who made the computer). Press this, and navigate yourself to your boot order, and tell it to boot from the CD.\n\nSome computers (some Dells, for example), will have a "One-time boot" option, which is more effective, as you don't have to change boot orders again.\n\nThis should help you out.


I want to know how to read and understand at all times ,even when it looks like I am crammed up with facts and ready to drop.

During graduate school I felt exactly as you do.  Every week I would have to read at least five 300-500 pg. books.  One of my professors gave me good advice:  Don't spend any more than one hour per book.  Read the introduction and the conclusion closely, then skim the rest.  Also, look up book reviews on search engines such as JSTOR. (two or three per book) These reviews will give you a synopsis of the book.


I mean I have had some quacky doctors while living in Japan does anyone else agree?

Japanese doctors - I don't know. I've never visited Japan.\nAsian herbal medicine (Chinese herbal remedies and medicine, Ayurveda, etc.) - They are not only proven to be effective on lots of natural illnesses, they also provide psychological and physical comfort to the body.\nMaybe - you just met the wrong doctors. Or you just took whatever any lobo said about just any doctor without finding out the credentials of the doctor.\nJust like many establishments and doctors, there are the quacks and there are the real ones.\n\nJust to tell you, my aunt suffered from stage 1 of breast cancer. She took 2 months of rest, with Chinese herbal medicine and applied the remedies on her affected areas and the lump disappeared.\nThe doctor was confounded.\n\nSo, my personal experience proves that, while you might not have faith in such difference of cultures and such, they do work, and they heal from within, and provide psychological and physical comfort to your body.\nYou might try going for your convential western treatments, but supplement the treatment with Asian herbal remedies from reputable doctors.\n\nAlso, be aware that herbal medicine needs a doctor only to prescribe different ingredient lists to you or dispense the medicine to you if it's supposed to be applied in your body.\nUsually you buy it from a medical hall (or it might be a medical hall and a doctor's hall in one) and boil the stuff home yourself.\n\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)


In some cases people will make misuse of information gotten from communities or they just tell untrue stories.\n\nAre there any rules or social control that prevents those from coming? How does the process run?\n\nPS I am doing a paper on online communities. Thank you your help in advance.\n\nBob

Online communities are a great new paradigm which has just begun to cross the chasm. Just as there are many benefits to online communities (e.g. increased interaction of people from around the globle), there also exist many disadvantages. One such downside of online communities are the fakers and charlatans. The fakers can be harmless, however, there are many that are dangerous. The danger may be intentional (e.g. Cyber stalking) or not (e.g. some poor advice).\n\nNo controls for the fakers is complete, however, some can be put into place to mitigate the problem. Most controls would need to specialize to the group itself (e.g. an 'Adult' community can deter non-adults via adult verification methods).\n\nThere exist some more universal methods for detering some fakers.\n\nNeed to make an account -- Someone faking for fun may not bother if they have to go through a signup process. This would only filter a few since the inconvienece is trivial; however, it will get some and serious members won't be detered.\n\nRules of Conduct -- This is best achieved as a social control rather than a technological one. This works best as an informal set of rules that serious members adhere to by thier own will and expect others to follow. The punishment for breaking the informal rules tends to be warnings by other members and chastising if the behavior persists. The administrator of the community should have the means to deal with any member that other members deam "out of control".\n\nWarning -- Not everyone is savvy as to what information they should give out on the internet or how seriously they should take information that is given to them; some of the malicious fakers can be mitigated by educating the users. It may be difficult to find a proper location to give such a warning on the site.\n\nNo Solicitation -- Unless the community is for collectors (or other communities where the purpose is to buy/trade items), you can stop the 'snakeoil salesmen' with a no solicitation policy.\n\nReward Serious Members -- The serious members should be rewarded by giving them some control on the community. If the administrator ives them a way to regulate themselves, they should be able to do it well. The few that gain this privilage should come up naturally as unofficial leaders of the community. Keep an eye out for who these are so that they can be nominated for the position, or even have a vote among members; the important parts is that the members need to be happy with the choice. The administrator should still have the control to do adminstrative duties (and overthrow a poor choice if need be), however, the bulk of the community should self-regulate.\n\nHope this helps a little.


only for people that know very well the chinese girls,please.

Conquer? If you think that you want to "conquer" a chinese girl I am not sure if you could win her heart. Nowadays everyone is changing and Chinese girls are no longer the submissive, quiet and timid ones. \n\nI am a Chinese girl, though i cant represent all other Chinese girls maybe what I am saying is still good references. I think the first thing you have to do to win Chinese girl's heart is to forget all those stereotypes, and try to listen to ones' heart, and try to understand others as an individual. To be honest I am really sick of people coming to me with too many assumptions. Just be yourself, open to differences, be paitent and understanding, and that should be good enough.\n\nI dont ask my parents for my marriage, I dont ask my parent whehter they like my English boyfriend, this is my own life and I responsible for it. I am not that conservative and I love people being straight forward and say "I Love You" :).\n\nThe only thing that I can think of about the differences between Chinese girls and others is that maybe Chinese is not so adventurous in relationships, and tend to find a partner who shares similar background with them. So maybe you have to work harder if there's some significant age differences or differences in social status. \n\nAs a Chinese girl I hope the guys would respect me, be friendly, and dont make fun of my culture/ ethnicity. I hope my partner would be attentive and understand my needs, give me support and be my soul mate, but not to conquer me. \n\nFor me, one thing that Western guys are much more attractive than Chinese guys is that they respect women and they are much more knowledgable.  Bright personality, and GSOH is always a bonus.


why does someone remembers what he dreamt while asleep  after waking up and when somebody touches him or makes noise near him while he is asleep he never hears.

During REM sleep, neurotransmitters are released that paralyze and, in some ways, even cut you off from reality.  That is why REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is called paradoxical sleep:  EEG patterns look almost like waking, but it's the hardest time to wake someone up.

I've been running into lot of this term lately - "lateral hiring" with MBA placement related articles.\n\nJust wanted to know what exactly it is.

Lateral Hiring can be understood if you understand "hiring a fresher".\nMost of the B-Schools have freshers(inexperienced) thus most of the students are placed as Management trainees or into the entry level job.\n\nA lateral Placement would be at the the higher level of MGT ladder. like Manager or Vice president.\n\nHope this serves.......\n\nShraddhesh


despite a high level in Karate, what other aspects make a good sensei?

after several years of study, you can become an instructor. after several years of instructing, you may become a teacher. after several years of teaching, students may come to view you as a sensei. anyone who calls himself a sensei usually isn't. its like people who refer to themselves as a master - its an ego thing. be the best you can at what you do, practice your technique religiously, set the example your students deserve.


If your not looking for a bf/gf why do you need to see a pic?

its not a guy thing or a gals thing or whatever. but i do think it is mostly because the people are shallow. they only want to chat with people that look attractive. i have actually came across many of those kinds of people. i never tend to ask or show my pic, because i don't like shallowness. lol that's another thing i noticed about myspace, people are always looking for the more attractive people on there, and when someone they don't find attractive trys to add them as a friend they either reject them or delete them later.


I am going to one on Saturday and I was wondering what they ask you...

Read this question, according to history Christianity is the most evil religion. Of course they hide behind the mask of "righteousness"...\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006042009518&r=w

Religions by themselves are not necessarily good or evil, but its what men do with it that defines good or evil. \n\nIt is man who created religion. And if you do believe that Christianity is the most evil religion, I offer this, its the people who practiced it who may have been the ones who are evil.\n\nIn the end, most religious faiths have pretty basic tenets with the ultimate one being "Do unto others as you want them to do unto you" or "Do NOT do unto others what you do NOT want them to do to you". This is found in the big Western three as well as in Eastern belief systems. However, like any belief system, people can use it for their own gain and ends.


Do power drinks, such as Gatorade and Powerade, have any influence on heart attacks.\n\nI have heard that power drinks make the ventricle of the heart pump faster, so when the heart pumps too fast, you have a heart attack.\n\nDo power drinks really help cause heart attacks?

A heart attack is caused when the blood vessels of the heart can not feed the heart muscle or the the muscle is not being oxygenated.  Gatorade and Powerade I believe are low in caffeine if they have any at all.  They have electrolytes in them like Sodium and Potassium.  So if you overload or are taking a supplement of these you could get yourself in trouble.  They use Potassium Chloride in very high amounts as part of the Lethal Injection.  It stops the heart from contracting.  As far as causing a heart attack it would be very rare.  I don't think there is any factual evidence to support that these drinks can cause a heart attack.


What do 16-17 year old guys look for in a woman? Please, no perverted or trashy comments.

Honestly? 16-17 year old boys? (i say boys deliberatly) they are looking for a pulse and a purse dear.  If you have either of those your in the running.  Now slightly older guys (or the guys your talking about in a just a few years) will start looking for sombody who is nice and sweet.  Now this isn't cause to be horrible to them now, but a guy will like you for who you are, don't try and be somthing that your not for them. Because they are too young to know what they want in the long term, and you probably are too.  Now that isn't a put down in anyway, its just the truth, don't be in too much of a hurry to get into an adult relationship there will be plenty of time for that.  Somewhere out there, there are a bunch of guys who will adore and worship you for who you are... Don't settle for less please... Good luck sweetie, and I hope this helps.


"Deena Kastor set a new American record of 2 hours 19 minutes 36 in winning the recent London Marathon. She was assisted by two male pacers one of which was her training partner despite the fact that the race was supposed to be a "women's race". Should her record be allowed?"

Yes. If milers can set records while using "rabbits", then then marathoners should also be able to have similar benefit....

B, Algal blooms first create some dissolved oxygen, but then they over populate since they're free floating, block the sun, use all the DO and the fish die. HA! I will not fail that AP bio exam!

I am looking for prices that all sorts of guns would cost people in the old west. I am sure certain books may have this info, but sifting through what comes on the internet is not helping. Thanks.

10-20 dollars for a Colt Single Action thru 1900.\n\nWinchester Model 1894 18 dollars thru 1900 (round barrel.. octagon barrels were a couple dollars more)\n\nLess quality firearms could be had for 1.00 and up.\n\nMuzzleloaders were plentiful and cheap and were almost giveaways after metallic cartridges came into being. Many ended as play toys for children.

Hi I am a worshipor of more than one faith so please do not condem me to hell (especially cuase i dont believe in it) or give me any of that type of "Help"\nWhat I am looking for is how much truth is actually behind the Da Vinci Code.  I do believe in pagan beliefs aswell as Christin, buddist, hindu and others...but i still dont know how i feel in terms of (my theories) Christ being on of many sons of god or just a prophet like they others (i use the term acended masters to refer to them), any true information would help...i would like to thank anyone who actually took the time to read this\n\n(again how much truth is behind the di vinci code)

Try a book called Holy Blood / Holy grail. It proposes that the "Grail" is actually the bloodline of Christ as opposed to a cup. Many persons believe this especially as Mary Magdelene was "written out" of the bible as a disciple by the early church. Presumably to suggest that women had no place as leaders in the early church. As with all of these theories they are just that. The DaVinci Code is a work of fiction about the protagonist trying to verify this theory and should be taken with a pinch of salt. However the underlying theory is very much debated and real.\nI do, however, believe that Jesus (as an individual) did exist so it is reasonable to assume he did marry and have children as he would have appeared VERY odd in those days as an unmarried individual. Whether he was the son of god or not...that's up to the individual.

Im having it done with local anaesthesia only

It depends on the person and the type teeth that are being removed. The more difficult the tooth extraction then, proportionally, the greater the probability of post-operative pain. Psychologically, it does feel just like much pushing and shoving during the procedure, but if it does hurt, tell the surgeon, as some inflamed and infected teeth take a little more to anaesthetise.\nAs for the person, different people have different reactions. I had my two lower impacted teeth removed under local. They needed to be sectioed, or cut, to be removed, but it didn't hurt. I was up and studying within two hours - pretty stupid really, as I should have milked the sympathy!\nTwo tips may be of benefit, though:\n(1) Take pain relief about 30 mins after procedure, while you are still numb - it makes the transition out of anaesthesia much smoother, and aids healing, as the less pain you're in the quicker you will heal\n(2) Try to relax best you can before, during and after the procedure - the more relaxed you are, the better anaesthesia works, and the better that works, the better the procedure for you, during and after the procedure.\nRemember, not all wisdom teeth are horror stories! Good luck!

This is for school.  I'm supposed to explain what happened in 1932 that allowed the Nazis to come to power.  I think it was some kind of election that allowed them to become a great political power in Germany but I'm not sure so I figured maybe I could get some of your insights to my problem.  If these elections are what helped then let me know.

In July of 1932, the Nazi party won an impressive 230 seats in the 608 seat Reichstag.  Hitler, the leader of the Nazi party, then demanded that the aging president Paul von Hindenburg appoint him the chancellor of Germany. Hindenburg refused.  Political chaos reigned in the Reichstag and new elections were called in Nov.  Even though the Nazis won fewer seats, they still maintained a noticeable presence in the Reichstag.  Newly appointed chancellor  Kurt von Schleicher was unable to hold together a coalition and resigned.  Hindenburg then appointed Adolf Hitler in Jan. 1933.


YOur friend likes the same person as you do and she told you and you didn't tell her/ denied that you like that guy. YOu also don't want to ruin the friendship. She might get upset because another kiss-up friend is rubbing it in her face that she and that person used to like eachother in grade school.

first tell your friend.\nsecond it depends on how long you have liked the guya nd how long she has liked the guy.\nthird if you've liked him longer tha her andyou think she might ask him out or he will ask her out......ask him out FIRST!!!!!!! lol.\n\ni know from experience. my friend ive known since 1st grade  likes the same guy as me and all of her friends that im not friends with know and they all are pressuring him to ask him out. and im a lot more shy about it and none of my friends do that for me. and ive liked him for like 4 months since january. and she's only liked him for about 1 month!!!!!!! so yeah\n\nso just be careful with what she says and does and be careful with who you tell that you like him. because some people in this world can't keep their mouths shut. \n\nGOOD LUCK!!!


My wife and I signed a contract to purchase a new home in August of 2005.  Since then, our finances have suffered because of unexpected medical expenses and a prolonged illness in the family, requiring our assistance.  While the new home has been constructed like we dreamed, we have been declined for financing because of our debt ratios and because we could not come up with the down payment because my spouse has been helping her parents extensively and unable to earn a steady income.  The construction company has given us two weeks to come up with financing, or forfeit our earnest money, approximately $34,000.  I've worked with several different companies and all have declined our financing.  The home was constructed in VA.  After re-reviewing my contract, I did not find any financing contingency in there that would refund my deposit if my financing was declined ... it appears that the builder has insured that they could keep the deposit under all circumstances.  Do I have any remedy?

that is usually a no-brainer clause in a real estate contract, that and if the home doesn't pass inspection (high repair costs).  Your agent should have included that in the contract when submitting your offer.\n\nThe problem is if it is a new development, often they have their own agents doing the sales, so they probably aren't including any nice back door clauses like that.  \n\nBut, your house has probably appreciated in value since your offer, so the builder might be happy to get out of the contract, too, so they can sell it for more.\n\n---------------------------------------------------\n\nOkay, this is a longshot, but contact www.naca.com   they are a non-profit housing advocacy group.  they really aren't geared for people in your situation, but they hate real estate bloodsuckers and they might be able to strong arm this builder or recommend a decent attorney, or stage a picket in front of this development.    NACA got their money from a predatory lending settlement against Fleet bank and now they do their own loans.  Good luck, $34,000 is a lot to lose...


Can a Judge Discriminate against you in court because of the color of your race?  Well this is my situation. A person had grab me by the throat, because of that we had to appear in court a week or so later. I was planning on me being in some trouble because the use of my  language. I was thinking since the person who started the whole problem. He would get in more trouble than I would in court. But we both got the same punishment. well at least that what I thought. But than the Judge drops the other person punishment. But tells me that I have to complete mines or he will put me in jail. I don't see that as fair at all. I know that the judge is discriminating against me. Would I be able to sue the town court house or the judge for Race Discrimination?

the question should be, should a judge discriminate. the answer is no but he can.  however i have learned that there is always more to a story. who recieved the brunt of your swearing? what was your attitude and body language in court? do you have a record and what does that look like? the questions are unlimited. also take note that a judge has a window to work from when handing down a sentence from minimal penalty to the max. as long as the judge remains in that box.. you really have to have concrete evidence of prejudice. it sounds like your punishment was some type of community service.  who would waste a chance to be prejudice on something so minor.  not me.. by the way in some areas this would be a violent crime.. assault.. domestic violence or worse. so i would be satisfied with what i got. finally learn from this situation.. to quote the words of a song i love.. you  gotta  know when to hold em, fold em, walk away or run. u should have ran.

I am a new investor in rental properties and would like to do my own mortgage calculations for potential properties.

How on earth can you accurately calculate a mortgage note for someone? Can you pull there credit? If you know there score what rate can you give them? Who do you know that can give that rate? What term will you go? Whats the best rate for there term? You sound like a Realtor giving a payment? I don't mean to fuss at you,but if you contact a mortgage broker he can at least give you a better idea of what a true payment will be.

i'm 5'10"\n13\n230 lbs.\nwhat kind of diet should i do?

Id recommend start working out, doing a little bit each day will really help.  Don't push yourself at first just get use to it and then progress.  You should do a little more research on that, situps and crunches are probably a good start... You could also try eating healthy cereal in the morning (Breakfest is important), and maybe sneak in some fruit before lunchtime.  DONT eat the cafeteria food if you can avoid it (at least from my experience).  And have mom pack a healthy lunch.  If you are close with your mom you should ask for her help... Just don't ask the question the way you do.  Remember You don't have to look like a model, just start off with simple goals (eg. 2 pounds per month), and work from there.


he's nice seems to be,we always chat with one another he may be my husband one day.

Wait until you meet him face to face then make that decision!\nI knew my husband for many years, many of our younger years\nwere apart! In some ways it made us stronger but also mad us weaker! He communicates better through the computer. I strife\nfor face to face and that's the way it should be.\nIf you want to marry this man? Be sure to know him face to face first for awhile. Communicating is so important!

What can I do to get rid of this gutt of mine. I have lost over 30 lbs in the past few months and it seems like my stomach is getting bigger. I workout and everything and nothing. HELP

Hello,\n\nIt may well be that the "belly" that you are referring to is loose skin left over from your pregnancies.  This skin has been stretched so much that it has lost its elasticity.  (This happens to people who have lost a great deal of weight, too.)  It would make sense that as the rest of your body tones up, this "belly" would seem more noticeable to you.


Trying to use the quiver function on matlab but keep getting the error "??? Attempt to execute SCRIPT quiver as a function" I tried inputting in some sample code that my lecturer wrote down and not even that works. Have no clue.

You have a typo, in the quiver statement.\nchange the second y1 to y2 and try again

I tell my mom about guys I talk to on the phone and she tells her boyfriend everything I said and everything I tell her about the guys. I think that's disrespectful.

You need to tell your mom, that you don't appreciate her violating your trust. If she keeps this up, you will be reluctant to tell her anymore of your life.\nI don't think your Mom would like that, that's a bond that shouldn't be broken, especially for some boyfriend, who may not be around that long.\nBoyfriends can come and go, but you will be Mother and Daughter for life. Ask your Mom, what is more important to her, your trust, or her trying to please her boyfriend.\nSurely there has to be some other subject, other that your private life that they can talk about.\nIf she merely tells him of some success you may have in school or on a project, that's fine, that's just a Mom's pride in her daughter.\nYour private life should be out of bounds. Ask her  how she would feel, if you did the same to her, by telling all your friends about her private life.

I told this boy i liked him and i even gave him my number! He never called and i still want to be his freind even if we don't hook up, but i don't know how to go about it. What should i do?

guys arent always the brightest, even if you spell it out for them.  be brave and make the first move.  just ask him to hang out-and let him interpret that how he wants, then you'll know which way he wants to go with it.


And I think I truly love him. He did a lot for me and he also didnt do a lot for me. Anyways he loved me and my children and my children loved him too. Very much so. Anyways I ended up pregnant because I thought he was going to get probation so we planned on having a child and getting married. Anyways i tried to bail him out of jail for a second time but there was a hold on him for a warrant in another state for a felony in robbery. So who knows how long now before he will get out and I am scared and alone single mother pregnant with two kids. I cannot stop crying and dont know what to do.My oldest would hate me forever if I had another child and I am scared I wouldnt be able to afford another one either. What do i do???? Please be kind I am a good person and just trusted and loved this person very very much. He is a very sad man and I believe he got into trouble because he isn't completely stable mentally is there any way to help him? Or me? Or what do i do?


Well - gosh - I see so many "Americans" lining up to clean, cook and do yard work.

There's an automation which runs on a Unix box.  It needs to do various excel manipulations such as can be done with win32::ole.  However, this library is for windows only I'm told.  Is there an equivalent library for unix perl?  If so, could you point me in the right direction?

Unfortunately, as the name suggests, Win32::OLE is strictly for Windows. However, you might consider SpreadSheet::WriteExcel if you want to just write excel files in a cross-platform manner.

im a 8th grader moving onto 9th grade soon. but i have this huge problem!! i would study in the beg. of the year and get good gradres, but as time goes by i dont even do my homework!\ni just dont know what to do, as i watch my parents get disappointed i try to conivince myself to study...but i dont!!! please i need help

It happens to a lot of us, remember that, you are not alone.  I was always a very good student until high school but I always relied on my memory which is very good but that's not a very good study habit, i would read my notes threee hours before bed get an A the next day and erase all that knowledge from my mind as I walked out the classroom,  that will not work in college, so my grades went downhill, reached rock bottom and started to dig now I found out that science is not my strong point but I can easily score A's in humanities and general ed classes, so I know now what to focus more on


You know like we are called mammals because we drink mama milk, what do we call all animals that lay eggs?

Animals that lay eggs which then hatch are called oviparous.  Animals that give birth to live young are called viviparous.  Animals that create eggs, but keep them internally so that they hatch before birth are called ovoviviparous.\n\nMonotremes are mammals that lay eggs, such as the Platypus and five species of Echidna.  They also produce milk, so live birth and milk production are not equivalent.


inside a procedure, I have defined a cursor and based on the results from cursor, i am updating another table. There are a totoal 0f 40,000 updates to the table and i would like to speed it up. I want to know if I can use multi-threading and how?

SQL Server doesn't support multithreading in the way you're describing it. However, it does have a performance enhancing tuner:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/maintain/rdbmspft.mspx

I completely agree!  (wit U) It appears that it is easier for people to type sounds than actually become educated. Tread lightly, though, as we live in an over politically correct society!

I have admired this painter working at my workplace for several months (the oganization is undergoing a remodeling project).  We have had a few flirtatous exchanges, one of which I invited him to join me for coffee sometime.  Two days passed, and no coffee break.  On Friday, I asked him, "So when are we going to meet for coffee?"  He said, "Sometime soon.  I'm not going to make any promises about when, but what is your number?" I gave him my number.  He did not give me his.  This was a hasty exchange as we both did not want to be seen by others--my work mates, and the construction crew.  He wrote my number down, and that was it.  No call from him all weekend.  What does this mean?  I suspect he is in a relationship, but am not sure.  I know nothing about this man except we are making intense eye contact when ever we pass each other by in the building.  How should I react when I run into him on Monday?  Keep smiling and be stoic?

Yup. And wait for a fortnight. But if he does call after THAT LONG, do let him know you were expecting him to call yah earlier than that!


last week i watched the simple life. it was funny. what did you think off it? did any one  feel like nichole is the naughty one?

well whenever one of my friends has a problem with someone she never goes directly to the person. like for example.. she was going to my sister about problems and complaints she had about me and my best friend.. it kinda makes me upset.. i wish she would come straight to me.. what should i do.. what can i do?

talk to her,as in y is she nt comfortable confronting to people directly about the problem she has with them..ask her if she fears gettin in to a fight,if so then convince her that confronting and sorting out things with friends is a small as well as a healthy issue at the same time ,which would nt break a stronger relation like friendship or any other relation..

I am a 26 year old female. My tubes according to my doctor were cut, tied and then burned. That was will be 4 years ago that it was done on April 15 of this year. I am having trouble researching it on my own can you help ?

Here are some statistics....and not judgements!  :)\nThe success rate for reopening the tubes is over 90 percent, and approximately 70 percent of patients have become pregnant by one year or more after the procedure.  The pregnancy rate varied by type of original tubal ligation performed, tubal lengths after repair, and a woman's age.  http://www.fertilityanswers.com/tubal_ligation_reversal.htm\n\nReanastomosis in appropriately selected candidates usually results in patency (opening) of the reconnected Fallopian tubes in more than 85 percent of the cases. A pregnancy rate of 70 to 75 percent in the first year is anticipated. http://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/0,,46df-p,00.html\n\nWomen under the age of 40 who have a tubal reversal through the traditional surgical methods have a 70% to 80% pregnancy success rate, with conception usually occurring during the first year after the procedure. Women who have microsurgery done have a slightly higher success rate, with about 90% of women becoming pregnant within one year of the procedure. However, tubal ligation success rates tend to decline with a woman’s age although they are still better than IVF pregnancy rates.  http://www.epigee.org/guide/tl.html

Islam, Christianity and Judaism all began with Abraham. They all share a common ancestor. Why is it so hard for most people to see how alike we all are? Why is it so hard for us to look at the things we all have in common and not fight about it? We all came from the same place, we are all family in a way, yet we kill and fight in the name of our God. When in fact my Christian God is the same as the Muslim god and the Jewish God. Why can people not see all this?

You'd think it would be a little easier eh?


How would you ask the question "Where is the 2010 World Cup going to be held?" in a language of South Africa other than English? Thanks for the help - this is for a quiz in a school newsletter in the UK.

Usually teams take 4 or 5, right....and France has a pretty big list of good ones:\n\nHenry (of course), Trezeguet, Saha, Wiltord, Cisse, Giuly, Anelka...maybe more.  so which ones are going?

Of all European countries, France is the one with the greatest number of strikers. Just two weeks ago, all university students and a majority of high-school students went on strike. That's millions! Before that it was the nurses, and the railway workers.\n\nGiven that these people obviously don't have much else to do, and that, because of the excellence of the railway system (assuming its workers are not on strike), it's exceedingly easy for them to get to Germany, I'd venture my opinion that there will be more French strikers at the World Cup than any other country's. \n\nAmong them, the majority will be called Jean-François. So, write down that name ten thousand times and you'll have the answer to your question.

I am an elementary art teacher, and am wondering:\na) will 36,000 be an adequate yearly salary?\nb) any info/opinions regarding the Glendale Elementary School District\nc)opinions regarding the quality of life in this area

Yes, $36K is adequate. As to the schools, I am not certain. \n However, as to the quality of life... We are an All American City and the first metro area to have all of our government vehicles on natural gas instead of petrol. We have 3 of the nations top ten fastest growing cities here in the Phoenix metro area. \n It does not matter your interests, hobbies, etc, you will find something to do in Phoenix. \n We also have a very low poverty rate, a fairly high mean income, and a fairly low average debt to income ratio. \n As to the negatives/potential negatives: CRIME! Mesa, AZ in 2004 lead the country in car thefts. Phoenix proper led the nation in home burglaries. Gilbert led the nation in home invasions. \n HUGE immigrant population, both legal and illegal. \n Good luck, and enjoy our city!!


i think my boyfriend is going threw depression. (we are only 18) he is graduated this year and very lost on what to do and he keeps telling me hes "going to be a bum, has no special talent, and is worthless." but of corse i dont think thats true. i try to encourage him but im running out of words of encouragement. Please give me some advice on what to do. I just want him to be happy.

reassure him that he has a future...be there for him and encourage him to apply himslef at something that he enjoys doing...he really needs your support right now


ive been talking to a councelor on the internet and i think that i need help...but i dont know if i should go...plz help!

Asking for help is the first step toward recovery. Yes, find a counselor that is trained to deal with people of your age and diagnosis. But talk to a psychiatrist first so they can find out what is wrong. You could be living with Depression, Bi-Polar Disorder, Manic Depression or something else. Only a Psychiatrist can give you the answers you need to find the right counseling for you. Depending on the cause there are many ways to treat it. I found a great one, it's called W.R.A.P./ Wellness Recovery Action Plans developed by a wonderful lady named Mary-Ellen Copeland.\nAnd don't be afraid or let anyone tell you it's dumb to need and seek help, it's not, it's a very intelligent thing to do.

I Really love ,my new boyfriend but im really.........falling for this other guy he has a girl and we dont want to hurt our boyfriend or his girlfriend, but we cant deney our feeling so should i go with my heart(my heart telling me to get with the other guy) or with my mind(witch tells its wrong to get with another guy when he has a girl and i have a guy)

If you love your boyfriend then how can you love another?Sounds like to me that you have not figured out what real love is.Also does he tell you that he cares for you just to hit the booty?Remember that men love to have more than one on the side.And if he cares for you so much,why is he still with his girl?


I dont understand how they can measure the visible universe, and still call it infinite. Ive heard it said that if you kept going in a direction, you would eventually end up where you started. How is this possible while being able to measure the distance from one side of the universe to the other? If they can SEE the background radiation, what makes them think there is nothing beyond it? And "nothing", not in the sense of empty space, but "nothing" as in "it doesnt even exist".

The visible universe is supposedly that size because we can see the light from the beginning and therfore base the size on how far light has travelled in the time; However, the universe is not actually that size, since there are areas beyond the Event Horizon which light has not come from yet, and thus the universe is larger than that estimate.\n\n More to answer your point, the universe is expanding at its limits, but as it does so it creates teh space that we as three-dimensional beings can move in, like a dot on the surface of a balloon; If the dot could move anywhere on the surface, it could move all over the balloon, but never cover all of it as it expands. In the same way, the univrese is finite in size, but unbounded in dimension and therefore to practiacl purposes probably infinite.\n\n It's a hard concept and many people have trouble with it.:)


I work with one other woman on a midnight shift ..One of us stole some money from the disabled people, I am positive it wasnt me.How do I  prove it? Why should my job be endangered because THEY hired a thief?

it will not be easy, but i think that they will, after all, all of brazil's players are some of the best in the world, like kaka, cafu, dida, adriano, ronaldo, robinho etc.. and  THE CURRENT BEST in the world according to fifa and the public twice in a row ronaldinho, plus their current manajer is the one that has made them achieve their last 2 world cup titles, my bet is that brazils will prevail and come up victourious once again.


this is "work" related to science..i think i know what the word "work" means...

WORK = force x distance  So you would need something the work would be done on. you would need to exert a force on it and someplace for it to go.


A certain frequency in tone can make a human lose control of their bowel movemements.  Mythbusters tested this out.  Did it work??

Some discomfort was reported however, due to the effects of low-frequency sound on the lungs." \n\nWikipedia has all the seasons, episodes, and the results if you are interested.

I mean, that gospel says that judas didnt betray jesus and judas had already known that he would die after give jesus to the romans because jesus told him that before everything happen

Here it is, and I'm going to cut and paste from another answer I gave, b cuz I've answered this so many times now...\n\nThe gospel of Judas is not credible. Scientists believe it to be the work of gnostics, a mystical early Christian denomination. People in those times did not have the access to the scriptures as we do today. They rarely had more than one or two books of the Bible at one time, so they often did not know what the other parts said. Gnostics often wrote stories of the way they thought things might be. The gospel of Judas is a philosophical conjecture, not scripture. It was also written at least 100 years after the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - the 4 gospels present in the Bible that tell of Judas's betrayal.\nAlso, because "gospel" means "good news", and the good news is that Jesus died for our sins, the text would have to include the crucifixion and resurrection. The gospel of Judas tells of neither.\n\nAs for the other gospels, the earliest known manuscripts date from 65 to 95 AD. That is 35 to 65 years after Christ died. It is quite possible then, that even if these were the earliest manuscripts (and not just the earliest known ones) that they are first-hand accounts.\n\nAnd by the way, the verse that people use to say that we are not to add or remove from the Bible is found in Revelation 22:18 - For I testify to anyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are mentioned in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this book.\n\n"This book" refers to the book of revelation - not the entire Bible. The Bible as a whole book did not exist when Revelation was written. Granted we are not to add or remove from scriptures, but this verse is misused all too often. Furthermore, we are to use good judgement by finding out the origins and intentions of any text before latching on to it as scripture.


Express your thoughts about this team. By the way, Toronto Maple Leafs suck, and if you think they can win the cup, come back to reality, because they havn't won since 1967.

To have a shot, they'll have to get into 6th spot. As the standings are currently, they'll have to face Carolina, or Ottawa.\nAt least in sixth position, you will face either the Rangers or Flyers. Two teams I believe they have a better chance against.


New Latin anarchia, from Greek anarkhi, from anarkhos, without a ruler  : an-, without; see a-1 + arkhos, ruler; see -arch. The root of the word does not mean chaos or violence. It has since been associated with those meanings as a way of discrediting the concept of Anarchism.

That's the way is suppose to be...otherwise it would not be anarchy!


how do salaries range for news anchors in local communities, local news and national news. Also how much does the top news anchor make than his fellow news anchors.

It depends where you are talking about.  For example, The median expected salary for a typical Reporter III in Los Angeles, CA, is $52,913. Where as The median expected salary for a typical Reporter III in Lincoln, NE, is $43,513.

3 Soldiers decide to check into a hotel for the night. Instead of purchasing 3 rooms, the soldiers decide to pitch in $5 a piece and just get one instead.  After paying and walking to the room, the Manager of the Hotel realizes that since they're soldiers, they get a discount and one room is only 10 dollars.  So, the Manager tells the bell boy to return 5 dollars back.  Once the bell boy reaches the hotel door, he realizes that 5 dollars cannot be split into 3 evenly, so he decided to keep 2 and then each soldier will get 1 dollar back...thus 2 to the bell boy...and 3 for the soldiers. So, if each soldier only had to pay 4 dollars instead of 5, that would make 12. 12 dollars that the soldiers paid total, and the 2 that the bell boy kept only equals 14...what happened to the other dollar?  :-)

This is not really a Math question. It's more of a logic question. Think of it this way: The three soldiers had given out 15 dollars. The manager kept 10 dollars, the bell boy kept 2 dollars, and the soldiers got 3 dollars back. Nothing is missing.\n\nThe way in which the question counts the total number of dollars is wrong. Yes, each soldiers only had to pay $4. That's a total of $12. Think about it. These $12 included the $2 that's secretly kept by the bell boy already (Again, $10 to the manager/hotel, $2 to the bell boy). Why count that again? The question is trying to fool you.\n\nThe correct way to count is: 15 dollars were circulating in this whole story. The soldiers paid out $12 and got $3 back. See? There's no missing dollar!\n\nIf you're still a little confused, draw a diagram. It helps.

At five years old, Disneyland is a lot more memorable for you than the little kid.

Muhammad's every action is the excellent standard of conduct for all Muslims for all time. Muhammad did many nasty things, including owning slaves. Should we look upon this cultural view with more tolerance than they have for us (which is none)? Is it ok to enslave humans, as arab muslims continue to do in Maurtania, simply because your religion endorses it?\n\n"Allah's Apostle was on a journey and he had a BLACK SLAVE called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels" http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/073.sbt.html#008.073.182\n\n“…'Aisha further said, "Once the Prophet was screening me and I was watching the DISPLAY OF BLACK SLAVES IN THE MOSQUE and ('Umar) scolded them.” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/015.sbt.html#002.015.103

christians had slaves so what is your point people are people with different religions and nationalities and historically as well as currently no one is any better or evil then the next we are all sinners but we do not have to choose to carry on and harbor hate as individuals


I met a girl and went out on a few dates. But there were some issues, not with her as much as with me. First off I am foreign and she is American;.... Shouldn’t be a problem. Well the problem is, that after being in America for a while and learning how quickly relationships fall apart I have gotten tired and afraid of jumping into anything too quickly, and so I told her that I was too busy for a relationship and did not want to waste her time(obvious escapism). \nNow she is quite silent; and whenever I ask if she wants to meet she has some excuse (but she tells me in a nice way) and says things like 'maybe some other time when I'm not doing such and such'\nMy intention was really to go the 'friends first' route.\nSo what should I do to get her to understand where I am coming from and rectify the situation?\nand whatever happened to friends first?

You told her that you were too busy and didnt want to waste her time. And now you are wondering what is up with her. If I were her, I wouldnt take to you either.


babbysit and you kinda had plans with your friend to work out, which one should i chose? i f you need more details on my question ask me to tell more detail and i will???!!!

Put money under a mattress or somewhere that you have to convince yourself you cannot touch and if the babysitting pays then go with that! MONEY BEFORE THE FUNEY


The risk of you falling off or getting caught in the springs are nothing compared to the risk of hurting yourself right in the middle. I know. I fell in the middle about 2 weeks ago, Wednseday. It happens alot. I fell an dislocated my ankle and put my leg bone through the skin. The hospital I went to said I was the second trampoline case in 2 weeks. The other was a marine who was playing with his kids and got his leg caught in the springs and completely tore up his lower leg. Some companies "garantee" that they have games and attachments to make sure your child lands safely on their feet with every bounce, but they can't garantee that. No one can. Take the proper precaussions when you are looking into buying a trampoline. I don't want this to happen to anyother child, or adult.

Health experts: Dangers of trampolines underestimated\nJune 26, 1998\nWeb posted at: 2:37 p.m. EDT (1837 GMT)\n\n(CNN) Kids playing on trampolines- it looks so innocent. So what's to worry about? Here's a mental checklist: Is there adult supervision? Is there more than one person on the trampoline? Are any of its springs exposed? How sturdy is it? Of course, none of this matters to children - they just care that it's fun.\n\n"You can jump higher than you usually do on the ground. Because you can do flips and stuff."\n\nBut trampolines can be dangerous.\n\n"I did a flip and hit right here, hit the side of the trampoline and I jumped one time and accidentally fell off into some bushes."\n\nFor most kids, that's no deterrent. But, health experts say parents should be concerned. A study published in the journal "Pediatrics" shows the number of trampoline injuries doubled during a six-year period, resulting in more than sixty-thousand visits each year to hospital emergency rooms.\n\n"Unlike other products, the number of injuries due to trampolines is doubling over a very short period of time. That's a dramatic increase and unlike other consumer products," says Dr. Gary Smith of Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.\n\nAlmost all of the injuries occurred on backyard trampolines. The inuries were usually sprains, strains or fractures. Younger children tended to hurt their arms, older children their legs. But some of the injuries were much more serious. There have been six deaths since 1990.\n\nFifteen-year-old Dane Bruner knows the danger. He broke his leg while jumping on a trampoline with his friend Michael.\n\n"I went up and he came down, the trampoline was just like concrete. He landed and I looked down and his face was as white as a ghost and I was just filled with terror you know, it just scared me to death and I looked down and his foot was sideways and I just took off running."\n\nAs a result the rules at Dane's house have changed.\n\n"The big rule before was take your shoes off before you get on the trampoline, now it's we don't care about the shoes, only one person at a time on the trampoline."\nNew recommendations on safety\n\nIn fact, the study shows 75 percent of the injuries happened when more than one person was on a trampoline. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is asking the industry to put that statistic on its warning labels.\n\n"CPSC [also] recommends that kids under the age of 6 should never be allowed on a trampoline, period. We're also telling the industry they need to make sure that the shock absorbing pads are put on the springs all the way around the trampoline," says the CPSC's Russ Rader.\n\nThe American Society for Testing and Material told CNN it plans to vote on the recommendations soon. But Dr. Smith goes a step further. He says trampolines should not be used for play at all -- only for supervised training in gymnastics.\n\n"My advice to parents is, if you're considering buying a trampoline: don't. If you have one, get rid of it." \n\n\nPEDIATRICS Vol. 103 No. 5 May 1999, pp. 1053-1056\nAMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:\nTrampolines at Home, School, and Recreational Centers \n\nThe latest available data indicate that an estimated 83 400 trampoline-related injuries occurred in 1996 in the United States. This represents an annual rate 140% higher than was reported in 1990. Most injuries were sustained on home trampolines. In addition, 30% of trampoline-related injuries treated in an emergency department were fractures often resulting in hospitalization and surgery. These data support the American Academy of Pediatrics' reaffirmation of its recommendation that trampolines should never be used in the home environment, in routine physical education classes, or in outdoor playgrounds. Design and behavioral recommendations are made for the limited use of trampolines in sup


I'm a guy and my best frnd happens to be a girl. we were best of frnds for a yr and thn she proposed to me. i ws happy, but i didnt like the idea. fine, it took me a week to decide and i expressed my lov to her on feb14. within a week, she started going out with another guy! i ws her frnd i was supposed to lissen to wht she had to say, but i didnt and i unleashed all my fury on her (nothing physical, but mental harrassment). she knew i ws doing whtevr i ws doing, but there was no evidence to prove me guilty. it was so bad, tht even her dad cudnt protect her and thy had to call in the cops. aftr tht i became quite. thn i realize tht i'm missing a frnd and if i had thought abt the matter, i'd hav lost my girl-friend, but i wudnt have lost my frnd. i said sorry many times and her frnds tried to patch things up, but no matter wht, whn we get together again, its not the same.. we start fighting! none of us can 4get the past. she cant stand me, and i cant stand her, but i miss her lots...

If it got to the point they had to call hte cops I would say you blew it.  If you aren't really willing to accept that answer and you are willing to do ANYTHING to be friends with her again then patience is the key.  You have to prove to her that you are sorry and will never act that way again.  Let me tell you earning back someones trust is never an easy thing.  Be patient...wait for her... do what you can to show her you are sorry subtly and if a fight starts refuse to engage in it...
