After reading all these questions about Marines and Troops in Iraq, I have come to the conclusion the you Yanks think you're the only ones.Quess what every heard of Basra, probally not as the Great U.S War Machine ain't there but the Brits are. And they got their first female KIA Saturday 6/5/06.

The Australians are over their 2 but we never get a mention\nJust atleast the UK get mention in their news.


I just watched Oprah and was seriously touched by this story of how all these children and adults are displaced from homes and slaughtered like animals. I really want to help, i mean i really dont have much emotion for anything or anyone because i know there are alot of messed up people in the world who dont give a damn about anything. I want to help the people in africa and maybe adopt a child and give them a better life. Could someone please lead me in the right direction?

If you log on to Oprah's site you can find information on her Angel Network that you can tap into to help.  Good for you!


Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a statistical technique for building and testing statistical model, which are often causal models. It is a hybrid technique that encompasses aspects of confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis and regression, which can be seen as special cases of SEM.\n\nSEM encourages confirmatory, rather than exploratory, modelling; thus, it is suited to theory testing, rather than theory development. It usually starts with a hypothesis, represents it as a model, operationalises the constructs of interest with a measurement instrument and tests the model. With an accepted theory or otherwise confirmed model, one can also use SEM inductively by specifying a model and using data to estimate the values of free parameters. Often the initial hypothesis requires adjustment in light of model evidence, but SEM is rarely used purely for exploration.\n\nAmong its strengths is the ability to model constructs as latent variables — variables which are not measured directly, but are estimated in the model from measured variables which are assumed to 'tap into' the latent variables. This allows the modeller to explicitly capture unreliability of measurement in the model, in theory allowing the structural relations between latent variables to be accurately modelled.\n\nSEM is an extension of the general linear model that simultaneously estimates relationships between multiple independent, dependent and latent variables.\n\nAlternatives to SEM for exploratory modeling include TETRAD and partial least squares.


I got such an offer and am excited about it, but I'm not sure if this is what I most want or if it's this other program that I will hear back from next week.


I have a problem. I am 19 years old still cant talk with girls. i stammer whenever i talk with. does anyone has a cure? what should i do?


Any problem for me if my GIS programme is master of Arts??? I'm a chinese girl studying GIS in Malaysia. Because the Geography department is in Faculty Arts and Social Science, and no other GIS programme in any other department. But one of my undergraduate friend went to UK, and she got her degree in MSC. I wonder when i'm going to find a GIS job, will the company treat us different cos of the degree???? Even I'm in faculty Arts, i finishe my thesis using ArcGIS, Java, SQL etc... Pls help me and answer me!!!

All companies will treat you and your friend differently, regardless of what kind of degree.  They treat you differently because many of the headhunters are different, and each one has their own way of hiring.  Although your Masters may seem very attractive, a person with a Bachelors degree may seem attractive too if they have contacts at the company, they have very good references, if they have lots of experience, and so on.  Of course, you should apply to a company that you meet the requirements for.  It is important to establish a well rounded resume that states your accomplishments, experience,education and different skills.  Most companies do not go into depths of what department you majored in.  They do however like to check out your GPA or grades.  So, i guess my answer to your question is, you will always be treated differently, but not because of your degree.


I need to find graphs but I cant seem to find them, some like population graphs, import/export graphs something like that...

prostitution exizts in dis world from the time of gods..... do u think it serves a purpose in d society??

I am a student of BBA...  In Stamford University Bangladesh...\nI've completed 33 credit..  And trying to transfer my credits...\ncan I get an admission and a scholarship?... My financial status is poor and I need a good scholarship or a full free studentship.....\n\nIs there any college or university who can give me a Opportunity to transfer my credit and also provide a good scholarship?

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc.  Left-handed?  There is a scholarship out there for you!  Older woman returning to school?  There are scholarships out there for you.  Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.\n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!


I mean if someone said something like: "Don't hold your love over my head." I understand conceptually what it means, but I just can't put it into words. Any help?

It means to use it as a threat or extortion.  Always there, ready to drop and cause injury if the dangler so chooses.


I was trying to use my computer to connect to my wifes laptop witch is a mac Ibook G4 and when i was working in the networking area i somehow clicked the wrong button and it locked up my computer when i restarted now it comes up with a log in screen and cant go anywhere else even safe mode F8 and all of it does not work so i not sure where to go now I dont have another PC to make a boot disk and not sure what to do now. if anyone has an idea please let me know

Hope that helps.\n\nGlad to have helped man. How about giving me a best answer!! Thanks.


what if u and ur friend like the same guy and u and her get in a fight about who he likes better but hes not going out with any body because him and his girl just brock up. should i ask him out or do i let my friend ask him out.

"There's plenty of fish in the sea" is the best way to put it....I'm sure you and your friend are both head strong enough to not let a guy get in the middle of you two... considering that he's not looking for a girl at the moment.Worse case scenario if she ends up getting him is to go out w/ someone who she used to like...Remember two can play her game...shh don't let her know that though...


my high is 5'5",is that i'm is short person..

i think the average is about 5'7"\nnow i am way above average as i am 6'10" so i couldnt say for sure what the average is but i think its 5'7"


I work with a lot of very sensitive info, as do my co workers. Our job is also very stressful. I want to be friends with a co worker, but would she feel like she's at work when she's with me? LOL, not that I'M like work, but that she would just be reminded of it.

As long as the girl is not too junior to you in rank, you should be able to build up a healthy friendship :\nAnd as long as both of you know how to keep your personal and professional lives apart, there should be absolutely no problem.\n...But the moment either one of you lets one merge, or converge, into the other, you'll be ruining both your careers and personal lives !


I heard on the radio that 30% of Americans think it's more impotant to vote for American Idol than for President. Why could this be? I thought maybe because your votes actually COUNT on American Idol!

I'm going to overlook your bitterness due to the fact you sound cute.  But in answer to your question these same 30% probably have probably never voted in any election (well the majority of them anyway) so they've never thought voting was important in the first place.  The sad part is that they think that voting for some one hit wonder is a thrill so more power to them.


Three people went to Hell: a philosopher, a mathematician and a fool. When they met Satan, they asked for forgiveness and Satan said that if they're able to to answer his question, then only will that person be exemted from Hell. Satan held a tool in his hands. The tool had three holes in it: Hole1, Hole2 and Hole3. Satan sat on the tool and farted!! Then he openly asked them to tell him through which hole his fart came out (a subject is deaf to the voice of his other two compatriots).\n\nSo, what do YOU think? Can you tell me through which hole the fart came out and who came up with the right answer: the philosopher, the mathematician or the fool?\n\nP.S. - I do NOT need to know why that person came up with the right answer, all i wanna knw is who said wht and wht might be the right answer! The 1st person to answer CORRECTLY will be awarded the 10points.  HAPPY THINKING!!

it was the fool and he said it was through hes asshole


If you really love someone you should feel happy that the person you love is happy, even if it's not with you! Sometimes if you really love someone you have to let them go, so they can be happy....Not always we can be with the person we love, but trust me the best proof of love someone can give is wishing the happiness of the person they love no matter who they're with! I hope I made sense! That's what love supposed to be!\n\nSome people say that love is fighting for the person you love....and doing anything to be with them....that is NOT true, because if the person you love is happy with someone else, why would you even try to separate them if you know that the person is happy? That isn't called love, that's called "being selfish"....


Because people who aren't religious will actually ask the questions that religious slaves are too afraid to ask. Any attempt by a religious person to doubt 'the story' is automatically 'bad'. Why is it that trying to see other sides is a bad thing? To anyone who tries to convert me to thinking like a christian, I was raised in a very religious background and I know all the philosophy. (Even got kicked out of a seminary.) So in other words don't waste your breath. (Though I know you will.)

"So in other words don't waste your breath."\n\nWhy did you post your "question" on a public board, then, and thereby invite people to comment?\n\n"Don't waste your breath" tells me that it is you, and not the religious folks, who are the closed-minded one who doesn't want to discuss things.  No offense.\n\nYou ask, and rightly so, "Why is it that trying to see other sides is a bad thing?"\n\nYet, you don't seem to want to see "the side" that is opposite of your own opinion.  That's why, at least the way I see it, you resort to calling us "slaves" simply because we believe in something that you don't believe in.\n\nI personally know some atheists and agnostics, and these people know I am a devout Catholic.  \n\nThough they wonder why I believe what I do, they never resort to calling me things like a "slave."\n\nThe fact that you were raised in a religious background, and the fact that you were once in a seminary which subsequently expelled you, does not automatically mean that you "know all the philosophy."  \n\nIt's entirely possible that you THINK you know it, but really don't. \n\nBut since you don't want people to "waste their breath" trying to convert you, it means that (again) you are being the closed-minded one here.  Not the religious folks.


What do we really know so far?  What have so many that have come closest have said that is similar? besides just the bright light theory.

Obviously, proof is a little hard here. It is quite impossible for anyone to PROVE they know anything about this topic.\n\nTry reading Dante's "The Divine Comedy". It is quite intriguing to say the least.


Up until a year ago, she had no problem, and then by accident I sent her address to the trash. I then corrected this, but still no mail from her.

This is not the problem. There is something else.


It's obvious that these two competitors are always going at it what with the more space everytime and more features. What would you choose? I like yahoo because of the whopping gig of scape they give you for mail and i like hotmail for MSN.

Yahoo with 1 Gigabyte of space, is obviously better than Hotmail, with only 250 MB's of space. \n\nI like Gmail best. The clean design, esay to navigate keyboard shortcuts, and powerful search for your messages are just some of the reason i like it. Gmail gives you 2 gigs of space!!!!!(and counting). The labels are much more flexible than folders. \n\nBecause of Gmail only shows text ads, it loads much faster than most other free email services. It loaded in about two seconds even with an otherwise extremely slow phone line!!


Just like we call Iraqi children who we have bombed and murdered?

It sounds different when the shoe's on the other foot.


The straight line distance form milwaukee, wisconsin to grand rapids,michigan is approximately 110 miles .Why will it take you almost 4 hours to get from one city to another by a car

Think about it. When you drive someplace, can you always drive in a straight line? Or do roads twist and turn to go around obstacles? How many miles do you really have to drive to cover this distance? And what is your potential average rate of speed? This should give you some idea about what you have to think about to answer this problem. Good luck!\n\nPS Look at a map to identify all the potential obstacles to a straight drive.


ok i have been cutting 4 like almost 3 years and my sis found out and now she is going to tell my sister-in-law so she can send me away, so how do i stop from cutting?

Please read this. I know how you feel, Ive been there myself. Sending you away is not the best idea. You should go to a trusted adult IMMEDIATELY and get help. Go to your School's guidence counselor. If she can't help or you don't feel like you can trust her/him, Go to your local health department or free clinic and ask to speak to someone in mental health. This doesnt mean youre crazy or anything to be ashamed of It is a treatable disorder. PLEASE GET HELP ASAP!\n\nIn the mean time to keep yourself from being tempted to cut try rubberband therapy. This is not a cure but it may help you to stop until you can get help. Get some metal free rubberbands, put several on each wrist like bracelets, when something happens that makes you feel like you need to cut grab the bands and pop them over and over till the pain is released. I wouldnt advise this as any other way than a deterrant until you can get help. Cutting is very dangerous and all it takes is one little misjudgement to hit a vital artery and you could bleed to death. Please Don't do it anymore, Please get help. There is hope for you, Keep your head up & Be Blessed!


They say they are improved, don't stick to you, don't bunch and fold and that the belts are now colored and lacy like lingerie - and the pads are thin and fit like a thong. Can I hear from WOMEN who are using them/like them? Tampon users can sit this out please. Thanks!

That doesn't sound too good or confortable


i'm dating this guy and i love him trully, but 3 other dudes came up to me and i thought they look too good. so i said i'll go with them. what should i do.

keep yourself well douched and clean, and for god sake use protection. And for god sake don't go telling everyone about it b/c you will be called a hoe.

maybe he's that good......does he have a license?


days, what would you change?  What do you think would have the most lasting and effective impact?

If it only lasts for 7 days,\n\nNothing. \n\nAnything else would be cruel.\n\nGovernments try meddling in stuff all the time and get it completely wrong 9 times out of 10.  Who am I to do any better.\n\nThose that would seek to change the world (to fit their own viewpoint), should never be entrusted it.


parole and probation sub-unit, I think.  But it is parole/probation office on Higuera

just make a phone call to SLO county office police dep for more info.


he is a fantistic athletic that can ply any position and pitch but played on an awful team but i think is better than the majority of players in dade county kids been playing since 4.


Referring to the abovemention what should be taught. e.g. book keeping , balance sheet , investment in stocks ,real estate ,enterpreneurship , attitude , planning , etc.

* Credit\n* Understanding Real Estate Transacitons\n* Personal Income Tax Preparation\n* Understanding Heathcare Insurance and Billing\n* How to save for retirement. \n\nThese are critical. You are pretty much screwed if you don't have a good grasp on these.


Carrying crystals bring different types of energies to your person. It all depends on what type of crystals and what color cloth and wear. I purify and energize crystals but i don't have to wrap them in a cloth. You can wear it as necklace. But you shouldn't let other people touch the crystal, it will get their energy on it and will disrupt it, only you. You can purify it different ways, let it absorb light form the moon, washing it in a river, or even putting it in the freezer for five mins. That last one is an Asian thing cause it was the first time I heard it and it was from an Asian lady who knew what she was talking about.


I went to some drag races with this guy that I've been talking to (and kissing) For the past 10 days and everything was going great..by the way he works for my dad at his business. Well toward the end He was a little buzzed he had been drinking and I decided to leave so he could make it to work on time he said ok but first he wanted to say good bye to some friends so I said ok I'll wait for you in the truck. Well i saw him saying bye and everything but on the way back to the truck this drunk ass girl came up to him and grabed his had and the where walking away.My heart felt like some one laid a ton on it. Then i turned away when my sister in law said look look and he was holding her hand she says she saw him grab her butt.

if he is willing to do it FOR you he is willing to do it TO you. \nchances are he will do this if he is your boyfriend (or worse) i would ditch all feelings for him and find another love intrest.\nor, you could talk to him and tell him how you feel and see how he feels about you and go from there. just remember the very top of my post.


when the song ice ice baby came out alot of people liked it,( i guess ),i my-self i kind of thought it was ok.I understand songs get old and we tend to drop off of them,but what did he do that now when we here his name its like total hatetred and people just put him down to the max?

Well, its not that people don't like him, they just thought his rap was weak. go to http://lyricsbox.com/vanilla-ice-lyrics-ice-baby-qc7515m.html and see what im talkin about. the lyrics are weak, but the chorus was very catchy.


once i think i saw or heard about a kinda multi vitamin or sumthin that helps ur boobs grow?? idk. just a few weeks ago i was wishin there was a pill or sumthin i could take that would make my boobs bigger, then i remembered seeing a bottle at a gnc or hearing about um or sumthin...does anyone know what they might be?? and dont answer with sumthin like, oh ur still young...just wait. theyll get bigger. cuz well, unless i gain weight, they arent going to. i remember reading sumthin bout how i think ur boobs stop growing like, 3 yrs after you start you period?? i forgot what it was exactly, but it came down to the fact that theyve stoped growing. im 15, and my boobs are a 34 A. im not teribly ashamed of them, but the kinds of clothes i like to wear, my boobs dont exactly look attractive in them. i want atleast like a B 36 damnit! my 10 yr old sister has bigger boobs than me...my 12 yr old brother does! lol its not genetics, cuz my mom has always had big boobs, and my older sis has too...

yea well if it were that easy no body would spend 3-6 thousand dollars on breast surgery


Okay well i love her to death and everything but she gets too obsessive over guys lol but like.. it doesnt bother me that much bc i know my boyfriend is bad.. but like .. she doesnt have a boyfriend but tonnss of people who like her but she never shows affection.and like .. idk its just liek i think she likes them more then me lol .. :(

If u think she likes them more than u why are you best friends with her? also if u know your boyfriend is bad why don't u get rid of him? In fact get rid of them both and you'll probably feel a lot better!x


I need to find out what the visitation hours are for innmates that have just been moved to the second floor. \n\nAnother thing I would like to know is whether or not the bail drops in price the longer you have been in a holding cell, or for any other reason ect...

After so much time served, an inmate may have a bond reconsideration hearing.  They'll usually do it after a month or two, depending on the offense, I think.  Get your phone book and look up government offices.  If you don't live in the Chattanooga area, try http://www.switchboard.com \nYou may be able to call county courts or sheriff's office & get a number and/or extension for jail information if they're not connected (they are here).\nYou could always write your inmate and instruct him/her to write you back with visiting times.  If you live in the area, it should take no more than 4 days to get in, get processed, and get out & back to you.   If your inmate has the sense, s/he has probably already written you, or will soon.\nBest bet, get county offices information today, and call first thing in the morning for info.


I'm just wondering how many people have heard of them. I don't know anyone who has.

No. I usually only listen to Keith and the girl. That's the only thing I'm subscribed to.


I think Kiera Knightly is one of the hottest girls out there!  She looks good with long hair (Pirates of the Carribean), and she looks good with short hair (Domino).  She needs bigger boobs though.  :-)

I am 21 and I live on my own and pay my own bills. But yet my mom thinks it's ok to force her belefs on me. I feel she thinks she knows everything(I don't think I do) but there are time when I know I am right(when it was to do with my job) and I just can't tell her to back off with out hurting her feelings(and I don't wanna do that) but I am a indepent young women and need to drive my own life Veh. How do I get her to back off nicely? All you moms out there please don't think I don't respect my mom. I do and I love her.

I understand where you r coming from.  Both my parents are that way.  Just remember that she loves you and has always wanted the best for u and want u to have a better life than she did.  Respect her opinions and tell her so.  She can't expect you to do exactly what she tells you and I'm sure she doesn't.  Make it clear that you respect and appreciate her input but in the end it is your decision to make.  Maybe dont share as much personal info with her as you have been. Such as the example you gave about your job.  Would it be possible to keep discussions about your job to a minimum when talking to your mom. You don't want to tell her to back off because someday you are going to need her, need her advice, and that's what she is there for.  She just wants you to know that she'll always be there for you.  You can still be close to your mom without talking about the life decisions you have made or need to make. Good luck!


HI, if someone has struggled with depression and anxiety there whole life, and they have been recommended for medications by a phychiatrist, do you think they may be able to learn to successfully control there illness through self realization and or counsiling, or do you think they should just get on the meds?

Give the medication a try. I used anti-anxiety meds and it also helped with depression. And the medication did not make me high, woozy, dizzy, or anything else. I felt normal, just better.


I've heard this but I'm not sure. I have seen people that look kinda like me even if we are not relatives.

I've been told there is someone in Canada that looks exactly like me, so maybe there are 6 more out there..


comparing ur fiance with ex bf is right?

Keeping a eye out for warning signs from pass bf's to avoid a mistake is smart, comparing is different, and not kewl.  Simple rule of life.  Take what you are doing, reverse it and how would you feel if it was being done to you.


what if a player does not want to go to that team??

If they are drafted by a team they do not want to join, they can either request a trade or sit out a full season and get drafted again next year.  They cannot play for another team that season.


ok a dude on my bus called me this and i dont know what it means a Douche bag

Calling someone a douche bag is so old...like 80's old.  I didn't even know people still said that.  If he calls you that again, I'd laugh at him and let him know how lame that is.


Do the judges ever split kids up so the mother gets 2 and the father gets 2? I know WA. doesn't have joint custody per say,but if both parents are capable and 2 of the kids want to live with the other parent,does that ever occur?

A judge will pretty much agree with anything the two of you agree upon, as long as the children are priority.  An Agreed modification of custody will do the trick. Good Luck!  (And generally, child support is figured based on one parent having all the kids, the other paying support for both parties and then subtracting the difference.  If Dad would pay mom $300.00 per week for all, and Mom would pay dad $175.00 per week for all, dad would pay $125.00 if he had custody of 2 and mom had custody of 2)  Generally, not always...


poison oak of some sort? I was in the woods today and I did landscaping.

Sounds like whelps, maybe scratches from landscaping. You probably didn't even feel it when it happened. I get those when I carry fire wood in or help my husband clear brush, etc. Wash it good and put t a little neosporin on it, it'll be good as new!!


I have resently lost my job due to absences from work because of the migraines and hospitalization due to them. And I can't seem to find another job because of it. I don't know what to do. I have also been kicked out of school because of my grades droping due to these problems. I'm only 28 and have two kids to raise. I'm not ready to die and leave them with thier fathers due to this condition.

You need to get a lawyer either way.  Disability is a federal program, not regulated by the states, though you have to go through the state social security system to get placed on disability.  Unless you are missing both arms or are completely paralyzed you NEED a lawyer to have any chance of getting disability.  They deny over 90% of initial applications and without an attourney you have almost zero chance of making an appeal.  If you can show that your condition (no matter what it is) is completely preventing you from maintaining gainfull employment you can get disability.  Right now you'll get about $600 a month plus a supplement for your kids but it will take at least a year (oh, and legal representation ;) to start receiving payments.


Three people rent three houses and each of them pay Rs.20 to the owner.Thus the owner gets Rs.60.From that he gives Rs.5 to his son and tells him to distribute it to the three tenants.The boy gives Re.1 to each tenant and has Rs.2 for himself.\n\nNow...this is the same as the three tenants paying Rs.19 each.\n\nSo, 19 * 3 = 57 and the boy has Rs.2  ...which gives 57+2=59...What has become of the 1 Re ?

You said "57 + 2 = 59"\nIt should be "57 - 2 = 55", which was what was spent.


hi , Im looking  start investing in house flipping, Ive done a couple already with someone i know, how do I start, what are the financial pluses and minuses, kind of scared to dip my feet in also. HELP!!!

Let me tell you the minus part-\n\nBought my grandmas home valued at $595K, took out a loan for 436,000.  Plumbing was $6000 off the bat, interior painting, wall paper removal $1500.  Tons of homes in her area have come up for sale 495K-630K, and a few closed after 3+ months for sale.  Decided to rent the place for $2200, loan is $1750, insurance $90, and property tax is a mess right now.  Rent not covering the PITI ( even on neg am loan).  Gardner's raised fee due to gas, I pay water and trash. \n\nIf I sell, I am subject to capital gains on any money I make.  Based on price I paid, that was never disclosed cause there was no contract I am in a bit of a mess.  They can actually base my capital gains off the price my grandma paid on the home $19,000.\n\nUnless your related to Donald Trump, I would stay away from the real estate investing until you get a grasp on the entire picture.  I am finding it incredibly hard to remember what the basis was for deciding to take on another property.  Even with my own personal income 10K month, & rent for the home I am finding it necessary to balance my checkbook for the first time in my life.  It may turn out great down the road.  To date, its taken entire days away from my regular job, required more up front money then budgeted, caused a potential tax mess, and the worse time to try and sell in a historically desirable neighborhood of custom homes.


How does the insurance company make money from annuities?

Expenses are generally higher in variable annuities than mutual funds but there are no front-end loads to deal with and annuities can offer things that mutual funds can't - like guarantees. \n\nAnnuities may help you 1)Receive guaranteed retirement income payments for as long as you live, 2)Protect beneficiaries with a death benefit 3)Diversify your investments. 4)Grow assets on a tax-deferred basis and 5)Avoid outliving your assets.\n\nIf you want to protect your beneficiaries, variable annuities generaly offer a choice of death benefits to protect assets for your beneficiaries should you die prior to annuitization. Also, a variable annuity’s death benefit avoids the expense and delays of probate.\n\nIf you're concerned about the volatility of the stock market some variable annuities offer an “Income Benefit” feature. This optional feature (available for an additional fee) can provide you with a minimum level of income (upon annuitizing the contract) should the market decline dramatically. Some variable annuities also offer principal protection features which guarantee that you will get back at least your initial investment after some stated period of time (typically ten years).

I run a financial newsletter and our advice is rather profitable.  I'd like to make the switch from providing advice to managing money by opening a hedge fund.

If you have a verifiable track record that can also be backtested, you should have no problem pulling in money. The capital problem occurs when you have an "idea" but no historicals.\n\nIt is relatively easy vs opening your own b/d or something. If you have a track record, i say go for it.


I ask because reading a lot of posts about gay people being unredeemable because of what your book says.  Doen't your book like slavery?

Slavery has existed in every society, race, culture and religion for eons. It only began to be condemned in the Christian West since the religious fanatic abolitionists came on the scene in the early 1800s. St. Paul writes in the New Testament for Christian slaves to obey their masters. Slavery exists in many parts of the world today especially in Islamic countries where generally their slaves are Negroes. A slave trade still exists between esat Africa and Arabia. Of Course Negroes were the first to enslave other Negroes and then by the Arabs centuries before the Portuguese arrive on the west coast of Africa.


I have had a couple people in my life who have caused me great anguish to the point it has caused me physical illness. Should I just get rid of them from my life?

yes there really are such things as "toxic " people.... just the fact that youre asking means you are probably one of those warm hearted people who actually attract these people unknowingly... because they know they can take advantage of you... well I know because it happens to me.... have to put your foot down, you can still be loving, but when it starts to affect your health and stuff you have to let them go! People like that will go bother someone else......... just to prove how toxic they are, make more great friends who arent toxic, but uplifting... and see how the toxic ones act around them!!!! \n                   They will either act jealous that youve made these friends.... or not show their true selves around them...... even though they are the toxic ones.... you have to see that youve made yourself "open" to them..... of course this doesnt include family members, they are just there, not your fault... but even there you can set boundaries!!!!!!! I have, even with family members.


Fifteen different farmers each had their own apple orchards. The first farmer had only one apple tree in his orchard, the second farmer had two trees in his orchard, and so on up to fifteen trees for the fifteenth farmer. \n\n At harvest time, each farmer noticed something very peculiar: each tree in the same orchard produced the exact same number of apples. (Note that the number of apples per tree varied from orchard to orchard) And when all fifteen farmers got together to talk about it, they all realized that, if the farmer with eleven trees had given one apple to the farmer with seven trees, and the farmer with fourteen trees had given three apples each to the farmer with nine trees and the farmer with thirteen trees, they'd all end up with the exact same number of apples!\n\nHow many apples did all the farmers produce, in total?

The number of apples produced by each farmer MUST be a common multiple of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15.  The smallest such multiple is 120.  For the other orchards (7, 9, 11, 13, 14) the various apple giveaways result in numbers that are evenly divisible.\n\nTherefore, each farmer produced 120 apples.  That means that, in total, all of the farmers produced 15 X 120 apples, or 1800 apples.


then wouldn't that mean that you don't talk or have lunch with the ppl of ethnicity that you claim to be racist about? \n\nI mean what is up with ppl who say they are prejudice against one race and then you see them breaking bread or helping them out? \n\nI think this means they don't know if they are or maybe I don't know what racist really means. \n\nClue me in if you can.

My Dad & Uncle left me some 50's & 60's ones and some books with stuff from the 40"s

Awesome! Yeah, I'm a fan of all the Batman eras, even the dorky one where every issue found him turned into an alien, or a water-breathing creature, or a time traveller. Silly? Sure. But a whole lot more entertaining than most of the nihilist junk out there these days (god, I sound like my dad). \n\nAnyway, if you're hoping to unload them, I'll certainly take a look at them. \n\n- M.

Look stop being lazy there will be plenty of time later to be lazy, you dont want to end up another statistic and by that I mean another loser living in America making minimum wage living in your parents basement.  So get up and study do it for yourself man, if not you will be throwing yourself pity parties later hoping and wishing you had studied.


why does racism against African-Americans still exist?

I feel that racism is taught. Learning to accept all people should be taught in the home at an early age. People need to realize that this world would be a boring place if we were all the same!


We have a 1-1/2 year old daughter. Any ideas? Something different would be cool.

what about a locket necklace where you can place a small picture of yourself and your baby daughter?

If someone joins Nation of Islam, are they automatically considered a Muslim?  What does NOI teach?

no they are not considered Muslims:\nISLAM, and the so-called NATION OF ISLAM, are two different religions. The only thing common between them is the jargon, the language used by both. The Nation of Islam is a misnomer; this religion should be called Farrakhanism, after the name of its propagator. The religion of Elijah Muhammad and W.D. Fard died with their death because their officially and popularly elected successor, W.D. Muhammad, integrated the community with the Muslim community at-large, following the Quran and Hadith of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Louis Farrakhan joined W.D. Muhammad and gave his pledge of allegiance to him after Elijah Muhammad's death; he later rebelled and broke his oath with impunity, or without paying any expiation, and restarted The Nation of Islam. \n\nExamine the following comparisons between Islam and Farrakhanism with regard to the belief or practice in each: \n\n1. GOD/ALLAH ALONE \n\nISLAM: One. Unique. Never appeared in any physical form; hence, no physical representation is possible. He is recognized through his 99 names. \nFARRAKHANISM: ...Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July 1930; the long awaited Messiah of the Christians and the Mahdi of the Muslims. \n\n2. PROPHET/MESSENGER \n\nISLAM: Muhammad (S) is the last Prophet and the last Messenger. No messenger or prophet will come after Muhammad (S). \nFARRAKHANISM: Elijah Muhammad was a Messenger of Allah. Are there any more messengers or prophets to come? Not clear. \n\n3. THE LAST DAY/THE LIFE HEREAFTER \n\nISLAM: The life on earth as we know it will come to an end; it will be followed by the life hereafter which includes physical resurrection of the entire humankind, judgement and the life of paradise or hell. \nFARRAKHANISM: ...BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead - not in physical resurrection, but in mental resurrection. No already physically dead person will be in the Hereafter; that is slavery belief, taught to slaves to keep them under control. When you are dead, you are DEAD. \n\n4. THE QURAN \n\nISLAM: It was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (S) between 610 and 632 C.E. It is the last revelation of Allah to mankind. \nFARRAKHANISM: Contradictory beliefs. On one side, ...BELIEVE in the Holy Quran and in the scriptures of all the Prophets of God, and on the other side, We, the original nation of the earth ... are the writers of the Bible and Quran. We make such history once every 25,000 years ... it is done by twenty-four of our scientists. Both the present Bible and the Holy Quran must soon give way to the Holy Book... \n\n6. SHAHADAH \n\nISLAM: It means what it says, that is, Allah is Unseen, He is the Creator, the Sustainer. Mankind is accountable to Him Alone, and Prophet Muhammad (S) of Arabia is the final and ultimate ROLE MODEL; no one can substitute for him. \nFARRAKHANISM: A cover up to deceive gullible Muslims. Allah (God) appeared in the person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, and Muhammad of Arabia (S) was one of the prophets, not a role model for our times. The real role model and lawgiver for our times is Elijah Muhammad. \n\n\n7. SALAH \n\nISLAM: Five times a day is required; SALAH (prayer) includes QIYAM (standing), RUKU (bowing), SAJDA (prostration), JALSA (sitting on the floor) and recitations. \nFARRAKHANISM: No five times daily SALAH (prayer); prayer, when done has no RUKU or SAJDA. Friday is a major congregational prayer day, not for SALAH, but to say DUA and to listen to a Minister. \n\n8. ZAKAH (CHARITY) \n\nISLAM: Required on accumulated wealth after having in possession for one year above the NISAB (certain limits), as defined in SHARIA (Islamic law). \nFARRAKHANISM: It is a tax as poor due on income, similar to income tax. \nWho benefits? \n\n9. SAWM (FASTING) \n\nISLAM: Fasting is required in the month of Ramadan, ninth month of Islamic calendar. \nFARRAKHANISM: Fasting is required in December only. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is optional. \n\n10. HAJJ \n\nISLAM

Well if there are, this Question is more of an informative than to get information. They have a song called "Stay Fly"-sure we've all heard it and occasionally jam to its chorus since thats the only part we know...but the song has a hidden message behind it. If you have noticed, during the chorus of the song we can hear a female's voice in the background, though its hard to understand what it means. Belive it or not she is saying "You're my god. You're my king. Lucifer."\nAlso note the groups name THREE SIX MAFIA or 666 mafia. \nSee I'm not behind trashing anyone career or anything but i would like to make you, The Yahoo users, and other people aware of what they listen to.\nSO if you have heards it or not leave your answers with questions and answers if you need them-even if you want those 2 points. LOL

actually that is a highly debated peice of information. it sounds like many different things but nobody knows for sure except for Three Six mafia so until it is proven then you should not say that. I wouldn't be surprised if that was really what they say though. I am a big fan I have most of their songs and they talk about crucifiction and Gangsta Boo calls herself the Devil's Daughter in one of the songs. And Obviously Three Six stands for 666.


is there such thing as ondulada? or is it just ondulado?

Im 16 years old and thinking about going into boxing. I hate other sports but Boxing to me is very interesting. I dont want to become a professional, just something to do. Any Tips or experiences you'd like to share?

Get your mind off your fists at first. It don't matter if you can throw a punch if you can't avoid one. Work on honing your reflexes, then move on to the good ol' left left right (or right right left if you're a southpaw.)


I am curious as to how long the results of having a heat stoke can last.  If I had a heat stroke on say a Tuesday morning will I still have symtoms the next day or will I start to feel better after my body temp drops.

You should feel better the next day if you hydrated yourself and got some rest, but it may last a few more days, heatstroke can real drain your body, besure to take care of yourself and don't push it. Take it easy if you still dont feel good. Keep drinking plenty of soft drinks...


case study:Your friend from Rocket Complex  is sending you 10 lectures of CS2004N (aro 50 slides and comments per lecture, 1000 bytes each) over wireless network during your exam, trying to help you to find the answers within 2 hours scheduled. Wireless network has 1 Mbps bandwidth line. Your computer receives the whole material one page at a time, each fits into one transmission packet. Your computer spends 1 ms to process a page.

Thats a good question!\nI know you are doing Netwrok Technology CS2004N ;)\n well,\nYou should first assume the distance between rocket comples and the lecture room, say 150 meters.\nthe we have different kinds of delays to be calculated.\nThe first one is, transmission delay:\n total sie of data = * number of slides * 8(bits)\nthis would be: 10 * 1000 * 50 = 4MB\n\nNow we know the average data transmission rate, which is 1 Mbps.\n\nTransmission delay would be:\n4MB / 1 Mpbs = 4seconds\n\nNow propagation Delay would be:\nDistanse / Speed of Sound\nwhich would be 150/343 = 0.43 seconds\n\nProccessing Delay:\n50 * 10 * 1ms = 500 milli seconds = 0.5 seconds\n\nTotal Delay = 0.5 + 0.43 + 4 = 4.93 Seconds\nThis would give you the delay, BUT remeber this is using UDP, NOT TCP, if you want to have TCP you need 2 more delays, Ack Delay and Handshake Delay.(I think its ok to use UDP) If you want to use TCP ACK delay equals to propagation delay, and handshake delay is 2 * propagation delay.\nGood Luck \nMRB


Hey Everyone...I was wondering when sugar gliders, gerbils and ferrets will be legal in CA? I know people are trying to pass a bill for ferrets. Any ideas when they will be passed?

Sugar Gliders eat a large diet of fruits, and vegetables, along with insects that can help trees.  They also like to tear up bark.  CA has a large amount of produce, and as they are prolific breeders the chances that a pair reproducing could destroy trees and do serious damage to the cash crops is why they are illegal.  Also, wild gliders can carry diseases (if unhealthy) that are dangerous to the native animals, and have no natural predators in California.  As for when they will be legal, that's a hard thing to know.  I would imagine that they aren't going to be legal in that state for quite some time, especially with the amount of work and lobbying it takes to pass a law or overturn one.

a woman who had lost her husband is a widow. a man who had lost his wife is a widower. a person who had lost his or her parents is an orphan. now what do you call a parent who had lost his or her child(ren)?

There's no exactly parallel noun.  But there is an adjective you can use to express the idea --\n"bereft"  (or 'the bereft parents')\n\nThus we can say:\n"The child was orphaned."\n"The woman/man was widowed."\n"The parents were bereft [of children]."\n\n--------\n\n 'bereft' (2) = Suffering the death of a loved one; bereaved: the bereft parents.\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=bereft\n\n"bereave":\n  To leave desolate or alone, especially by death\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/bereave\n\nNote that "bereft" can be used for the loss of OTHER loved ones, but most frequently is used for parents losing children, perhaps  because we DO have the words 'orphan', 'widow' and 'widower' available to us.\n\nAlso, there is obviously a slight lack of parallelism.  The other terms always speak of a situation in which you have NO ONE of this sort left.  In a monogamous culture-- at least if you are keeping the law-- if a spouse dies you have NO spouse left, if both parents die you have NO parents and are an orphan.  But when parents suffer the death of ONE child (which is the way it usually happens) this does not necessarily leave them with NO children.\n\n(Incidentally, there is also, historically, an important socio-economic difference.  A widow or orphan is lacks ECONOMIC support --in fact, some cultures would use such terms ONLY if there is no one in the extended family available to step in and support them, a child would be an 'orphan' even with a mother, if she was, by this definition, a widow [hence, the term for such a child is often better rendered 'fatherless'].  \n\nThe situation is not the same for a parent who loses children.  This also helps explain why the ROOT word for one who is left without a spouse is the FEMININE, "widow" --and the masculine form is a derived one [as opposed to the typical practice of a root noun being masculine, with a derived feminine, formed by adding a suffix]: the main situation it is describing was originally that of the unsupported woman.  A man whose wife died would not ordinarily be in a similar bind.)


Are the Ebonites & Nazarenes the true Church of Christ?\n\nDo you agree that the Greek Paulene Christians are Heretics. I feel that the Jewish Christians led by Jesus's family were the real Christians.\n\nA Canaanite woman came to Jesus he said, "I am not sent but to the LOST SHEEP of ISRAEL*....... It is not meet to take the children's* bread, and cast it to the DOGS." \n[Dogs being Gentiles].\n*10 lost tribes.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ebionite...

Christianity is paganism and has no relation with the original Hebrew religion.\n\nConstantine attempted to invent a universal religion by incorporating Hebrew myths into his pagan religion, but it appears Hebrews would have nothing to do with it.


No sex before marriage = no illegitimate (sp) children, less chance of STD's, to name a couple\n\nDo unto others....= speaks for itself\n\nI could go on, but you should get what i mean.  \n\nWhat's so wrong with living a Christian life....assuming that life does not make the person self-righteous....(I know some Christians come off this way.)

There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with being a christian.....It's the ticket to heaven...Just truly believe in jesus. But we as humans have to believe in a higher power. To believe that there is a deity that never sleeps, is all knowing, loves you and cares for you no matter what, that watches over you and is the keeper of our loved ones when they die. I got saved Oct of 04, Iam not self-rightous but christians live a totally different type of life. They are quicker to lend a hand, or an ear or a shoulder to cry on. Just an example.....My father committed suicide last july. My family and I spent EVERYTHING we had saved on the funeral and the tombstone. My church  gathered a memorial fund in my fathers name to cushion the financal blow and had a HUGE catered dinner for us after the funeral. Would a regular person do this? Maybe....But the point is is that they loved us, were caring in our time of need and had God at heart when they did all this.They listened to us when we needed understanding, gave us some understanding on why things like that happen. They prayed for us...never underestimate the power of prayer...PRAYER DOES WORK. And praying for another human being is the most loving thing some one can do. I was working for my church as a secretary when my father died...I missed an entire week of work, when i showed up that Tuesday morning my minister handed me a full weeks pay and i didn't work one day the week before. Unselfish acts, as they say, doing as God has instucted me.... And when you have God in your thoughts and Jesus in your heart you can't go wrong...   Theres nothing wrong with being a christian, They are a loving, giving people.....were all family and its a family that iam proud to be a part of. (Sorry this was so long)

I see lots of people who protest at abortion clinics and people on this website using the word baby killer. Was God a baby killer when he had the women who cheated on their husbands drink the morning after medicine?\n\nI'm really trying to understand Christianity and I so much want to go stand with a sign that says baby killer,\nshould I go to Churches and carry a sign that says God is a baby killer, I mean, I don't want to be a hypocrite do I and just go to abortion clinics, since GOD was giving women the RU486 right?

If it was a drink to root out adulterating women and not babies, does that make God a misogynist instead of a baby killer?  Interesting that no one is concerned about the men that cheat.  Further interesting that God encourages a woman to be punish for cheating by death (the penalty for cheating was death for WOMEN, not men.  There is no penalty for cheating for men except his wife is allowed to divorce him and marry someone else -- according to God; she can't divorce him if he beats her, but if he cheats, well alright then). \nAnyway, how the hell is a drink supposed to tell if a woman cheated?!  Is it a magical drink that differentiates between her husband and her lovers sperm?  What if she douched?  Kill her anyway, just in case?


im a male model who happens to be quite unique and well i got pictures but i just want ur opinions so get at me

Some are hot, some are not. There's nothing wrong with them though in my opinion.


kahne finished 34th and moved down from 4th to 7th and kenseth finished farther than kahne did and only moved from 2nd to 3rd, to me thats being biased cause of him being a roushketeer, i hope i'm wrong but i hope someone can answer me that quesiton

Based on points one had at the end of the race, compared to everyone else's points. Kahne was passed up by Martin, Harvick and Earnhardt Jr, who finished 11th, 3rd and 1st respectively. Kenseth was passed by Stewart, who finished 6th at Richmond.\n\nMost likely reason Kenseth dropped fewer spots is because he's finished better on average than Kahne in the first 9 races of the season. It has nothing at all to do with who he drives for.\n\nDon't forget, the best 10 drivers after 26 races will all make the Chase, and they will be within 50 points of each other.


I have to create a video project that covers some of the stuff we've learned in my calculus class. My group sort of jokingly decided to do the calculus of drag racing, so we're sort of stuck now with doing something that has to do with car physics. I guess something like acceleration plots, accel. at certain time, maybe finding g-forces? Any other suggestions? Or, does anyone know how exactly to find g-force felt during accel. without much complicated equipment? \nThank You!

You may want to try Centripedal Force i.e. Turnings and slopes..\n\nBut it has some stuff to do with Physics as well. \n\nAlso you may want to find the maximum and minumum speeds at turnings. Include Frictional Force and try to minimize it using Calculus. \n\nTake Simple Circuits like circles, oval, parabola etc. Then take their equations and use calculus to find area under the curve etc. etc.\n\nWell thatz all comes to my mind for now!! :) BEST OF LUCK..


The inclusivism and exclusivism in Ayyavazhi is said to be an ideological break-through. But what is the world-wide view upon it?

Religious Pluralism\nSeena Fazel\nPhilosophically, religious pluralism is the theory that the great world religions constitute varying conceptions of, and responses to, the one ultimate, mysterious divine reality. We can approach this theory by comparing it to its two main rivals, exclusivism and inclusivism. \n\n\nAlthough we may find instances in Baha'i scripture capable of exclusivist development, exclusivism - the view that one particular tradition alone teaches the truth and constitutes the way to salvation or liberation - is not supported by a reading of the Baha'i writings in context. A fundamental tenet of Baha'i belief is the common foundation of all the world's revealed religions: "Unequivocally and without the least reservation it proclaims all established religions to be divine in origin" (WOB, p. 58). With this perspective, the superiority of one religious tradition over another is denied: "One cannot call one World Faith superior to another, as they all come from God." (Shoghi Effendi, Letter 19.11.45)\n\n\nInclusivist theologies and religious philosophies state that one particular tradition presents the final truth while other traditions, instead of being regarded as wrong, are seen to reflect aspects of, or to constitute approaches to, that final truth. The Baha'i writings do not portray an inclusivist outlook as the Baha'i Faith does not claim to represent the final truth. As Shoghi Effendi explains, Baha'is "claim no finality for the Revelation with which they stand identified" (WOB, p. 59). Inclusivist trends do exist in the Baha'i writings in that the Revelation of Baha'u'llah marks "the last and highest stage in the stupendous evolution of man's collective life on this planet" (WOB, p. 163). Man's individual life will "continue indefinitely to progress and develop" but his planetary life has reached "the furthermost limits in the organization of human society" (ibid). This should be attributed not to "any inherent superiority" (WOB, p. 166) or "superior merit" (WOB, p. 60) of the Baha'i Faith but rather to the fact that the present age is one which is "infinitely more advanced, more receptive, and more insistent to receive an ampler measure of Divine Guidance than has hitherto been vouchsafed to mankind" (ibid). It is the present age, not the religion of the age, that is superior.\n\n\nExplicit pluralism accepts the more radical position implied by inclusivism: the view that the great world faiths embody different perceptions and conceptions of, and correspondingly different responses to, the Real of the Ultimate, and that within each salvation is occuring. Thus Baha'u'llah writes: "There can be no doubt whatever that the peoples of the world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God." (Gleanings, p. 217)\n\n\nNevertheless there are Baha'i writings which seemingly do not support pluralist thinking, by implying that the different religions will cease to exist in the future as all believers become Baha'is. In the tablet to Queen Victoria, Baha'u'llah declares: "That which the Lord has ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one common Faith". (WOB, p. 163) Baha'u'llah is reported to have said to Edward Granville Browne that there would come a time when "all nations should become one in faith" and when "diversity of religion should cease" (qtd in Esslemont, p. 117-8). A tablet of TAbdu'l-Baha written in 1906 contains the following passage: "The fourth candle [of unity] is unity in religions (vahdat-i-din) which is the corner-stone of the foundation itself, and which, by the power of God, will be revealed in all its

nice idea! there are plenty of noobs (and i mean that in a good way) that need help! also, you can email me at "taylorteeth@yahoo.com" if you have any questions. i have just finished my 2nd year of runescape with a level 121 account!!! *says yippee under breath* any ways, i know mostly everything there is to know about the game. oh and the highest level in the game is 126, although jagex mods can choose there level... even if its above 126... hope i helped!


I'm angry with one guy with whom i had some relations(not love but still something). And he made me really angry. And now i want to find some other guy just to prove something. Maybe he even won't get to know about it but i will be satisfied that i had some revenge!

Nobody wins in a situation like that.  Think it through.


Have you ever been in a relationship with someone years older than you? What's been the biggest age gap? How many years difference do you think is acceptable/unacceptable? What are the pros and cons about these relationships? Preferably answered by younger girls with older boyfriends.

My parents were 18 years apart, Id have to say, this is fine, or I wouldnt be here  haha.. However.... I think it depends on the age , not the age gap so much, if there 18 y/o and dating a 35 y/o thats not right.... If yer 30 and dating a 45 y/o, I think thats ok, Maturity has to be there... Just my opinion...


A man I work with is more worried about his fingernails than all of us women he works with put together. It's to the point that it is sickening.


is it better to be just nonchalant and cool about things...or act outgoing and have a strong opinion??? or maybe a little of both....explain ur answer

im laid back. but im also outspoken when i need to be. i find that i dont get bothered by things as much as others because i just dont concern myself with nothing. i just go with the flow.


My friend and her husband are swingers!!  I just found this out!! It's not something I would do!  Do you think people do that as a legal way a cheating!!

My wife and I have an extremely happy marriage.\n\nSwinging is not a "legal" method to cheat.\n\nSwingers have the ability to:\na) separate sex from love  and\nb) openly communicate their wishes, desires and fantasies to their partner.\n\nThere are as many types of swinging as there are swingers, some are exhibitionistic and like to have sexual play strictly between themslevs but like the added thrill of others watching.\n\nSome are voyeurs, and fit nicely with the aforementioned group.\n\nSome have special "friends with benefits" who they not only participate in sexual play with, but also go to movies, and dinner, vacations, play cards, have bar-b-ques, etc.\n\nSome have what might oddly be termed "monogamous" relationships with a third or another couple with whom they play exclusively.\n\nCertainly there is a percentage of the culture that are "serial swingers". My wife and I refer to them as the "notch on a bedpost crowd" who seemingly play with anyone and everyone, they are definitely in the minority.\n\nSwinging has dramatically improved our marriage for a couple of reasons - first, it absolutely requires honest, open discussions and conversations, and anytime a couple improves their ability to communicate with their spouse it will help the marriage. Second, we do not worry about affairs and cheating, there is no need for it, if one of us is attracted to someone else, we simply talk about it and decide as a couple whether we will pursue an opportunity to play with that person/people. Third, our sex lives have improved for a multitude of reasons or sex with each other is better and more frequent now.\n\nFeel free to contact me with questions you may have and I would also recommend that following sites for more information on the lifestyle and culture.\n\nhttp://www.swinglesonline.com\nhttp://www.theswingersforum.com\nhttp://www.swingersboard.com


Mine would have to be the Allianz Arena, what about you?


Or are you just in too much of a hurry to check what you type?\n\nHonestly, people, if some of you would just slow down a little, you might not even have the problem you came here with in the first place. Just a thought.

I think it is a combination of the facts that people are in a hurry to get those BEST answers, people that just have poor spelling & grammar skills due to intelligence or language barriers, and flat out laziness.  I am too anal to leave mine unchecked lol.  If I do happen to forget to hit spell check, then notice something is wrong with my post afterwards--I try to go back and fix it.  It makes me nutty to not be able to edit other's posts, to do the same sometimes.  I guess that's why my College Writing professor wanted me to help edit other student's papers lol.


I feel like giving up.  I don't get the special meaning of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and how the Bible is supposed to apply to my daily life.  I guess I keep getting stuck on details,  like where it says I shouldn't wear different fibers in clothing in Leviticus.  I'm wearing cotton and polyester right now, so I guess if I apply that to my daily life I am a sinner and going to hell.\n\nThe whole Jesus thing, I keep looking through this book I have that talks about all the discrepensies in the New Testement,  how the current English version is different from the oldest Greek copies. I wanna get the one written in 1707 that goes through 3000 examples of discrepensies.\n\nI guess I'm just not one of God's chosen.  O well.  If it pleases God to not choose me and give me his grace and wisdom, OH GLORY.

You mean you didn't get the special Jesus decoder ring?  If you set it to B-5, this is what it says:\n\nBe nice to each other.

i have pansat 2700a it worked for a week.but now i noly get channel names,programs names,bad chhanel or scrambel. but dont get pic.can someone help.

I just found your question two days ago.   I was looking through the questions on here and found yours.  If you system is still down, your keys are no good.\n\nGo to this site to get the latest keys for 2700a.\n\n00 -- E8 70 B0...............................\n01 -- 71 9C 60...............................\n\nhttp://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/2/223313.html\n\nTo enter keys, go into the menu, then go to parental control and go down to second key and type in your password, usually 0000.   Then go to nagravision2, and you can enter the keys for the 00 and 01.   \n\nIf your channels are messed up, then you need to delete all channels and do a blind scan.   Or use the factory reset option and put the bin back on it, and then do a blind scan.  That may take some of the errors out of the receiver.\n\nIf you already got it working, thats cool!


A quaich is a celtic two handled drinking cup.

The following website sound like what you are looking for.\n\nIt starts out:\n\nBackground \nThe Quaich (pronounced "quake", from the Gaelic word "cuach") has a rich heritage in Scotland - indeed, they are a uniquely Scottish invention, having no apparent connection to any other European drinking vessel. A traditional Scottish drinking vessel to offer a guest a cup of welcome and also as a farewell drink, usually a dram of whisky. Travellers were known to carry a quaich with them. \n\nOrigins \nThey were used for whisky and brandy but there was also larger quaichs which were used for ale. (The largest surviving examples having capacity of about 1.5 pints). \n\nIt is believed that one of their ancestors was the scallop shell, in which drams of whisky were taken in the Highlands and Islands. \n\nLike the shells, quaichs were always wide and shallow. The distinctive shape has been fixed now for possibly more than four hundred years. \n\n----\nAnd it goes on from there.


AND HOW DO I PUT MY PICTURES ON THE COMPUTER FROM MY MINI DIGITNAL  CAMAR?

put Windows Media Player in the startup list. Alternately, put a music cd in the cd drive before you shut it down, when it boots up again, it should play it automaticaly. dunno about the camera


and were living together too, does that means he's not satisfied by me

For many men there really isn't a way to get him to stop; all you'll do is make him sneak around and do it behind your back. There are some who can and do stop, but they are more rare. If you are with a man who isnt capable of stopping, and you arent capable of walking away, there are some ways for you to learn to deal with it. \n\nSteps \nRealize that he isn't watching porn wishing you looked like those women...if he wasn't happy with you, he wouldn't be with you. Try to understand why he really is watching it and what he gets out of it. \n\nTry watching it with him...even if you HATE it, he will love that you're willing to share it with him. It can be a great way to spend time together, and might even lead to some pretty hot sex. Who knows, you might end up liking it too! Watching it with him will feel like you approve of what he is doing, and men need and love approval. \n\nAsk him if he wants to try some of the different positions, role playing, etc. He might have a fantasy or something he's always wanted to try but is too shy to ask. Try to understand the parts of him that he hasnt disclosed to you. \n\nEven if none of the above tips appeal to you...stop nagging him about his "habit"...nagging will only lead to fighting, and fighting leads to breaking up. There is a healthy way to fight in a relationship, but nagging leading into a fight isnt it. Professional counseling or marital counseling can lead to real change. \n\nTips \nDo not take his porn watching as a personal affront, many men are just much more visually stimulated than women are, and he isn't trying to upset you. (thats an excuse) \n\nWarnings \nDecide now if his porn is something you can learn to deal with...if not, you might want to consider ending the relationship yourself. You will never completely change him, and if you "make" him stop watching he might only resent you. It really depends on who he is and the nature of your relationship.

I would like to write my own video slot game. What is the easiest language to learn with awesome graphics?

Easiest language does not exist. All languages use more or less same API functions calls, so the difference is mainly in their syntax.\nIf you want to draw only, even Java or C# are good enough.\nIf you want to be strong in graphics programming, you need some of lower level languages as C/C++, Pascal, FORTRAN, etc. with which can use professional libraries as, e.g., OpenGL.


not even suppose to be in is not going like mexico

What? Did you fail English, check your grammar. You are hurting not only are you an ignorant racist but a dumb one too.  Illegals don't only come from Mexico, they come from many different countries all over the world.  Not all Mexicans are illegals and not all illegals are Mexicans.  Confused?  I bet you are!


when was the first offical Nascar race held and who won it?

The first official NASCAR race was held on February 15, 1948 at Daytona Beach. Red Byron, who was at that eventful meeting was the race winner, and only one week later, NASCAR was incorporated.


I would not suggest distance ed for hospitality.  That is such a hands-on program.  You need to be in classes accustoming yourself to and interacting with all kinds of people. Besides the network you'll develop which will come in handy once you're in the working world.\n\nBut there's always Oakland University.


i'm not trying to pry into personal stuff but i'm bi and i haven't told my parents or a lot of my friends.

Then talk about it with your parents and friends and feel them out first see what thier impressions are and the negitive reactions you get. Your parents are one thing and should love you unconditionally. Your friends? Well, they could look at you like you have two heads from here on out.\n\nTough choices for tough love.


I have a beautiful 20 month old toodler who I think seems to be very HIPERACTIVE, she doesn´t stop playing, likes to run a lot and is very dificult to see her siting stil for at least 8 minutes I bearly see her quiet except when she is close to a nap o bed time.. I don´t want to label her yet, I don´t even want to label her to begin with. but I wish I know she is norml as every kid, if not I would like to know so that I can help her suceed in life and be a better parent. Please if you can help me finding out how can I learn if she has ADD OR ADHD, I would appreciate it so much.\nsincerely, Laura.

To be honest, the full signs that are required diagnosing criteria for ADD/ADHD in children aren't really detectable until AT LEAST age 3.\n\nToo often parents in our society today mistake what are normal developmental mile stones (Such as testing boundaries, strong desire to assert independence) as being something else because these mile stones are to much of a growing pain for parents.\n\nHowever, there has been significant evidence gathered from several studies that suggest a direct link between the amount of TV & direct-stimulation toddlers & children receive & ADD. Even though it hasn't been 100% confirmed, I really do recommend limiting the amount of TV you let your toddler watch. What the studies suggest is that because part of the root cause of ADD is the brain's lack of being able to process information & need to direct feed info, TV is just that- direct feed info. What I mean by that is when kids watch TV, their brains are directly feed information & the brain's need to process & sort out/figure out info is bypassed. For example, (& I know that this is a bad one, lol, it's all I could think of) it's like instead of gaining your energy from chewing & digesting your food, you're given it directly, through a shot in a IV. Make sense?\n\nIf you're wanting some tips on how to help curb some of her rowdiness, you should try to set up & instill some sort of routine & clear set boundaries w/her. Basically, develope some solid structure for her. Try talking to a pediatrician or child development specialist for some ideas & to get an assessment of your situation to better know what would work best for you.\n\nBest of luck to you!


to me, theres no difference between pedophilia and homosexuality.\n\nhomosexuality it isnt a choice. it is a psychological disorder. they didnt choose to have hte psychological disorder. people who were once gay become straight and vice versa. a significantly high proportion of gay men didnt have a father during their child. because of the lack of fatherly love from a fatherly figure, they turn to other men\n\nhomosexuality is just like anorexia, people dont choose to be sick. they cant help it. many do recover\n\nhomosexuality isnt genetic. do two gays make a gay? do two straights make a straight? why can some people who were once gay become straight if its genetic?\n\nso should pedophilia be legal, just like homosexuality?

We are born who we are.I see your point of view however, i disagree somewhat. Based on your  premise isn't being straight also a psychological disorder?Gays,Lesbians etc. are born from straight persons.These variations exist throughout nature.Take  a look at some of our other animal brethren to see it.Former anything can change by choosing to. Once this country was populated by child brides.It was considered a good thing to give your daughter to a well established male.Over time,we have come  to understand that such unions placed the girls at an unfair advantage. We have now enacted laws to protect our young from this.To allow pedophilia breaks said laws. Thanks for sharing your opinion.Respectfully,Will

DH and I haven't been out in a few months. We finally have a babysitter for the night so we can enjoy each other.  Anyone have some good ideas?? Something more relaxing, we're not into the partying thing!

im half mexican and part chinese italian spanish and indian, the thing is i have blue eyes and my skin is tan but isnt as dark as it should be. people make fun of me because im "pretending" to be ethnic because i have a mexican accent. i dont no what to do anymore. i feel alone and nobody gets it. i always feel like i have something to prove to some kind of race but i dont fit into any! what can i do?

I hear you dear! I am also of mixed heritage (Mexican/German/Polish/Filipino) but look white though I consider myself culturally as a Hispanic. I was raised in a Spanish-speaking family but wasn't encouraged to grow up speaking it; nevertheless, I understand Spanish but don't speak it. I get flak usually because I don't speak the language on top of being guera - others think I'm pretending too. The older i am getting though others opinions are meaning less & less to me. I stopped trying to get approval from everyone & focused on getting comfortable in my own skin. I am proud to be hispanic & look the way I do. Anyone who has a problem with that can torture themselves about it...i won't loose any sleep over it. Just get strong & comfortable with who you are. Everything else eventually won't matter. Take care chica!!

Azn iwish this is for you  again :)\n\nA person working on the transmission of a car accidentally drops a bolt into a tray of oil.  The oil is 5.00 cm deep.  The bolt appears to be 3.40 cm beneath the surface of the oil, when viewed from directly above.  What is the index of refraction of the oil?

In what position is the bolt and what are the bolt's physical dimensions? If the bolt is laying in a horizontal position, and it's 1.60 cm thick (16 mm or about 5/8"), I'd say that the oil's refraction index is 1.00.\n\nOTBPOC

What if the sky were blue or the world was flat? write a ehat if that would change the world! best answer gets ten points.

Well the sky is Blue so lets just say that the sky was yellow and the sun was blue,\nThe World could be flat and the trees be could mobile with arms and legs and these great big voluptious ears,\nWe could live in forests of these trees and spend the wonderful days,\nWe would walk amongst them and they could lead our way,\nThe oceans could be time clocks punching away the breeze,\nWe would be a lot smaller and a whole lot more free,\nWe might walk on firelight and dance upon the silvery moon,\nBut then again we might not.I dont know...


We only have sex once every 2 months or so. I need it more like once a week. We talk, things get better, then back again to every 2 months. We are both in our mid 40's, and have  been married for 20 years. This has gone on for 10 years, the first 10 years were fine. Once while talking she suggested if I were so horny all the time, I should take care of my self (WTF?) So now I'm thinking maybe I can get her involved, and have her masterbate me. How do I get this person who won't even let me touch her to help me out. I am not rough, or demanding, I love her, and I'm very gentle with her when having sex. I'm very oral with her, and she loves that!! So I need to word this so that she'll be willing to have sex with me in this manner - hopefully she will get excited too, you never know!!!

It sounds like having intercourse with your wife is more than just a sexual release for you. It is "the whole package" - the emotional bonding, as well as the physical response.\nStart slow. Make time for sitting together with your arm around her. Use that time to talk about what's happening in the every day events of your lives. "How do you think our kids are doing?" "How was work today?" "Are you interested in changing our routine (the foods we eat, who does the cooking, where we go for entertainment)?"\nThen discuss with her that you've been considering her recommendation, but think it would be unsatisfactory. She may be more understanding of your need for her touch.

They're a Spanish reggae rock band....they sing in spanish, english, french and portuguese

Yes, I love Mano Negra, they are actually a French Band that traveled extensively through Latin America and wrote quite a bit of songs about many of the countries in it. I was soooo bummed when they split. You could still listen to Manu Chao today, he was their singer and still puts CDs out, but it is just not the same :-)

Why we use neon gas in advertising signs but not using argon?\nWhy we use krypton gas in laser and in fluorescent tube?\nWhy we use xenon gas in bubble chamber in atomic energy reactor?\nBesides they're very stable, what other reasons?

Neon, Krypton, and Argon are non-reactive noble gases.  Passing an electric current through them will cause the electrons to enter excited states.  When the electrons drop back down to the ground state, they drop in energy by a characteristic amount--this characteristic amount corresponds to a wavelength of radiation (like a particular color of visible light).  If you want a beautiful orange color, use neon!  I don't know what color argon and krypton are, but they would probably be chosen based on the particular wavelength they emit.  (I think the process is called fluorescence).\n\nI don't know anything about the xenon application you mentioned.  If you want a really heavy, nonreactive gas though xenon has those properties.  Think about why you would need a heavy gas in that application.


i was talking with this guy i work with and he started telling me this story. he said him and some friends where drinking and started talking about being good or not in bed. he said he thought he wasnt and told them to call his x. he said they did and she said she thought he was good. i asked him if he wanted to get back with her and he said no. the ? is why did he tell me this? we talk all the time but not usally like that.

you know why, he wants to play with butterfly, and thats his way of an approach.


I am in great need of breast reduction. I am 46 years old and had back surgery 8 months ago. I still have a lot of back pain. My breasts are just way to big and I feel that I am more prone to breast cancer because of the denseness of them. Is there any surgeon in western washington that accepts medical coupons for this procedure. This is not for cosmetic reasons but so that I will hopefully feel better. I have discussed this with my doctor and she agrees this would be beneficial for me. Thank you

I don't know about the medical coupon part, but I had one done at Group Health in Seattle.  The plastic surgeon did an EXCELLENT job and I couldn't be happier.  It was truly one of the best things I have ever done.  Give them a call...and good luck!


I believe people with ignorance are very lonely, heartless people.

Ignorance will always breed hate because through out history when people do not understand something they either open up to it or reject it. Most of the times they reject most things they never understand and eventually it becomes HATRED. People to need open up there mind as well as there hearts more. Common sense will tell you that immigrants have come to this great land of opportunity for hundreds of years and now all of sudden because of a coordinated attack that was done by people who were here legally we must reject all immigrants. God welcomes all not just a few (conservatives) to his heaven.


I am to do a physics project, and I chose it to be on music. I have a device to measure frequencies of the sound waves and an instrument at which I can hook a string to, and change its tension, thus causing a different sound change. \n\nMy physics project is to have a set of pre-lab questions, post-lab questions; and atleast one set up of durable, functional, and beautifully constructed equpment (using new equipment in a new way is acceptable as well) \n\nI know the topic at which I would want to base my experiment on, but I do not know what to create of it. \nOr if any other ideas involving music and strings, please let me know. I am still undecided upon what I want my project to be and what to build.

You can use different string instruments or you an even use different types of strings. Rope, nylon, thread and use different tensions with them.


WinXP browsing with Firefox continues to show only headlines of NHL and MLB as they appeared on 12/21/05 while all other news headline content is updated to the current time. Yahoo has not provided me with a solution although they did suggest I should update to the latest version of Msgr. Still the problem persists and I am annoyed. Problem seems to be theirs as Firefox performs well with all other content.

Try a disk clean-up, cookies, temp internet files, etc, maybe that will help. I haven't used Firefox for a while and I don't remember if there is a cookie blocker that you may have inadvertantly put on those pages. Check your internet congfigurations and options for Firefox.

In my earlier question i asked who'd win superman or batman. I really mean that if superman had a red kryptonite ring on and batman tried to use green kryptonite who'd win?

It sounds like you've watched a bit too much "Smallville" as a basis for your logic in this question.  Red kryptonite chunks will always effect Kryptonians in the same way, but every chunk has a different random effect.  So, it would really depend what sort of effect the red kryptonite had, & how soon after exposure Superman fought, as after 3 days he would be immune to its effects.  Therefore, unless somehow the red kryptonite chunk bestowed the ability on Superman to be immune to green Kryptonite for 3 days, Batman would win.


What is the “lookback period” for Medicaid purposes in New York State? I was told that it had recently been raised to 5 years.\nWhere can I obtain more information on this topic?

The look back period in the whole country is five years as of February of this year when the president sigend the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005.


I say yes my other friend say not even close, My thinking is there are always pennies, nickles etc--ive found 10s 20s It would have to ammount to at least 1 million---Mind you I am not asking about money in lakes, rivers etc---just the ground in the US

If you were to collect a million dollars in pennies, that would be 100 million pennies. Assuming you could average a penny every minute, it would take you 100 million minutes or about 1.67 million hours or about 138,889 days (assuming you looked for 12 hours a day) or about 380.52 years. So at the low end it looks pretty impossible. This scenario assumes finding only $7.20 per day.\n\nIf you could up it to $68.50 per day, you could accomplish the task in 40 years.\n\nIf you could up it to $137 per day, you could accomplish the task in 20 years.\n\nSo...it is theoretically possible, but you would have to be mighty lucky.


Lets say that the attack happens with hundreds of suicide bobmbers blowing themselves up simulatously across this country. Lets say they target packed Malls, movie theatres, and Wal-Marts.\n\nHow would the America react? Government, local emergencey crews, and the American people.

We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves! We have been at peace waaaaay to long. People seem to think that if we don't fight no one will fight us.  We're lucky it hasn't happened yet! Now as for helping the wounded... we all know that wouldn't happen. I mean how many people just stare at a bad car accident as they drive by.... and the Government well they would probably wage war and then the American people would forget about the tragedy and be pissed off about the war. Wait... doesn't that sound familiar.....

drug laws around the world don't work why not legalise and regulate the drug trade  it would get rid of dealers and lower crime what do you think

The American War on Some Drugs is actually a war by powerful cultural group on other Americans of different cultural practices who are, if not necessarily less powerful, certainly less inclined to savagely impose those practices on others.\n\n "As a consequence of this 'war' there are hundreds of thousands of political prisoners incarcerated in America. In their pursuit of this campaign, the anti-drug zealots have, in course of a couple of decades, essentially eliminated the civil liberties of those who don't agree with them, and ultimately their own.\n\n "This campaign has profoundly distorted all American institutions, corrupted the governments of half the hemisphere, and caused even more disrespect for government that its equally futile predecessor in Viet Nam.\n\n "If we don't end the War on Some Drugs, there will soon be little left to love in America, as there is already almost nothing to respect."\n\n-- John Perry Barlow, December 1998.


Its not like she is havin problems with her bf, its just that i really like her a lot, and i want to get to know her even more.

If you want to get to know her better I think that it would be ok to ask for her number.  But if you want to respect her boyfriend then don't. I'm just wondering how to you know she's not having problems with her man.  But some people understand when their mate has a friend.  So maybe you could be a buddy to her.  Maybe even tell her you like her but you know she has a man.  Just tell her if she should ever need a nice man then you'll be there, and until then you'd just love to get to know her more as a friend.  Because I'm telling you you'll get closer to her as a friend especially being that you already like her.  I hope it works out for you.


No, I'm not pregnant, but I am going through menopause.  I feel bloated all the time, and very uncomfortable.  And I'm not constipated...

You should go to the doctor. You might have an infection.


i am from mumbai.want to suceed at higher level.please tell me were do i start from

First, gather a lot of money. Family sponsorships, company aids, whatever! You need a good and solid financial backing.\n\nSecond, move tho Europe, preferably to the UK. And join some minor circuit racing programs, even karting. You can start from that level.\n\nOnce you are "in" the industry, start networking with people in the sector. However, in the meanwhile you must obtain excellent results in whatever you are racing in order to be noticed and picked form a vast crowd of aspiring F1 drivers.\n\nThe fact that you are from India doesn't matter. Go to Europe and start racing. If you are good, things will develop. Don't forget the money, a lot of it behind you anytime you need it. And you will need a bunch! Don't expect the money to come to you after you get a couple of good finishes in minor categories.


Should it be big and expensive, or just something small? (especially for someone on a tight budget and a huge party to pay for!)

Since you are on a tight budget, I would go for something less expensive, as you also have to help pay for the shower.  A slow cooker makes a great gift and you can get one rather inexpensively.  I like Versaware, but anyone that has a removable crock is good.  Another inexpensive gift is The Joy of Cooking.  I refer to mine at least once a week.  It's a good gift for the beginner or the accomplished cook.
