This is what the DeVinci Code is all about. I thought this was a most beautiful thing. Are you Christians saying that the greatest and loving Man on the earth was not worthly of having such a Blessing? (To me, that is just sick) Dose this mean Women are sinful. That if Jesus had a Wife, it would make him sinful? And what about children. Jesus loved children , would he have been a sinner for having beautiful children. I dont quite understand why Christians are againced this but have families of their own. Dose anyone have an answer? I believe it could be true. Because he was such a loving person. Why couldnt he have someone elts love him and look up to him in such a hatful world.

There would be nothing wrong with Jesus having a wife and even children. He would not have violated His perfectness because marriage then was a very sacred thing. Most marriages at that time were arranged and it is quite possible that to hold with the customs of the time Jesus may have had an arranged marriage.\n\nWhether or not He was married to Mary Magdeline is a topic that will be discussed for many years. There is some evidence in the Gospel of Mary that she may have been because Jesus told her things that He did not tell the other disciples. It also says (indicates) Jesus kissed her on the mouth, not done except to a wife at that time.\n\nThose who were chosen to assemble the Bible as we have it today had hundreds of letters and gospels to choose from. Because they wanted to make the Bible masculine they choose mainly those books that carried out this wish of the early mainly Catholic church. They required all the other writtings to be destroyed. Thank goodness they are slowly finding some of the copies that did not get destroyed such as the "Dead Sea Scrolls" and now the most recent Gospel of Judas.\n\nAlthough the De Vinci Code is basically a fictional story, I beleive the reason, especially the Catholic Church is so opposed, the occurances depicted is because it is closer to the truth than they want the people to know. The church has always tried to control the people by fear; something that I have always disliked. By making many things that were not sin into sin they could make the people pay to have forgiveness of these "sins". The church was able to fill their coffers easily in this way and some churches still do this today.\n\nTo me Jesus is a very real person and He is my Savior, but I do not hold with any church because of they way they have lied to their people over the years. You don't have to go to a church to be a Christian...All it requies is a belief and a love for Jesus. there is no other requirement.

America went into iraq without good reasons now they want to enter iran ,are they on a crusade?Why do you they think they are going to win, all the crusaders before have been defeated!

Bush administration is following wrong policies.\nThey may not be on a crusade but all their present targets are unfortunately Muslims who are rich in natural resources but far behind in technology, hence an easy prey.\nIn the ultimate analysis/conclusion USA will never win since their stance is based on in-justice, inequality and double standards.


DETAILS IN MEDICAL, COMMUNICATION, AGRICULTURAL AND DERMATOLOGICAL FIELDS, IN WARFARE AND IN DOMESTIC FIELDS. ANSWER INCLUDIND BOTH THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE EFFECTS.

Medical - blessing: obviously because of human health\ncurse: longer life expectancy means larger population means more strain on resources\n\nCommunication - blessing: it "lubricates" getting things done\ncurse: it takes out the human element of a face to face conversation which is bad from a cultural and psychological perspective\n\nAgricultural - blessing: makes it easier and cheaper to farm\ncurse: it takes the place of human labor\n\nDermatological - blessing: um...better skin?\ncurse: um...people get jealous of other people with better skin?\n\nWarfare - blessing: better protection for the entity with the technology\ncurse: in the wrong hands, it can be used for dominance and persecution (such as if Hitler would have gotten a nuclear weapon first)\n\nDomestic - blessing: new inventive ways of cleaning, cooking, sewing make life easier\ncurse: your wife doesn't have to spend as much time cleaning and cooking and shops all the time.


Ok, I have some friends and my Girlfriend, and i obviously prefer to be always with her. Problem is: Im VERY unorganized. I often make up for some party or to see one of my friends, but for one reason or the other, i end up going elsewhere or staying home with my girlfriend and so. Im tired of apologizing to my friends, whom very often wait for me in vain. How can i ask for forgiveness, or excuse myself for my last mistake?

It's not just about apologizing, because it sounds like the problem is ongoing.  The apologizing part is the easy part, just suck it up, and say you're sorry.\n\nProblem is, from the way you describe it, you'll be doing the same thing in a week.  You have to figure out a way to be more responsible.  If you say you're going to be somewhere, be there.  If you're not sure if you can show, don't promise you will.  The biggest thing is to talk to your girlfriend.  Whether it's her fault or not, she is the reason you're disappointing people.  Mention, before you start hanging out, that you said you'd be at Bob's party, and invite her along.\n\nYou've got to find some way to stop disappointing your friends, otherwise you'll be apologizing every week, and soon they won't invite you any more.


ok so i haven't got my period yet and i get really horny sometimes and i cant help it. what should i do?

It's normal to feel the way you feel. You're just that age. Masturbating really can help if you learn how to do it right.\n\nAnd don't worry about not getting your period yet. Some girls don't get it until they're fifteen! You'll get it when it's the right time for you.\n\nIf you want some more advice, I'd say go to your local library and check out some good books for girls about adolescence and puberty.

He has been sober for 3 years, we have been having problems lately and he had to stay away from home this week-end he came home and told me, he drank all night Sat.. This was the only thing I every told him would make me leave, I am hurting I know he is too. Now he promises it will never happen again and he loves me I don't know what to do. Should I believe him?

Is he an alcoholic? If so he has worked hard to stop. If not I think you are over reacting. He didn't drink for 3 years. I think you should give him an other chance. He came and told you he has been drinking. Give him credit for his honesty. Tell him why you don't want him drinking. If you really love each-other, you will work it out.\n\nGood luck.


Well now, lets see if we can put a few things in perspective for those among us who are the truly imbecilic, moronic, ignoramuses who think GWB is stupid.\n\nShall we compare what a stupid guy has done to what any of you have done - don't worry this will take about a second.\n\nHere is a guy who, out of of 300 million people, has been selected twice to lead the country and who serves in the most powerful position of anyone in the country.\n\nThe USA is the most powerful, both economically and militarily, country on a planet with over 6 billion people on it. Does that make him the smartest guy on the planet? Probably not. Does it make him smarter than you? Without a doubt. \n\nBut let's continue. Shall we?\n\nWhile you might consider him stupid, he was apparently smarter than the 100 million or so democrats who tried to defeat him in his last 8 elections. Plus, he received higher grades in college than the latest 2 liberal candidates threw up against him.\n\nSo, if according to you he is stupid, how has he also accomplished all of these things against people who you must consider smarter than you or why would you vote for them? \n\nI would challenge you to take a look at your own pathetic, monumentally insignificant and truly worthless life and tell us all what you have accomplished in a way of even the most remote comparison. \n\nThe purpose of the question is to find exactly where YOU must inevitably rank on the intellectual scale in comparison since you have virtually nothing, either in your past or future, which will come close to a single one of gwb's accomplishments?\n\nLooking at it that way, if you consider him stupid and he has accomplished all of these things, it must kind of make you feel about as insignificant and worthless as a drop of water in the worlds oceans. Or, to put it in terms you can relate to, a piece of cow sh*t in the middle of a 100,000 acre pasture.


The green police that took Anne and her family away.


Me and my boyfriend are together a year and a half. I love him and I know he loves me too, however, it seems that lately we are getting bored in the relationship. we don't do anything exciting anymore, we just sit at home. He works a lot and we don't even have a lot of time for each other. I don't think the spark is there anymore. Is this normal? What can we do to change that. Does that mean we're not for each other?

Yes it is normal. Most couples go through this and the trick is to keep working on the relationship like you did when you first met. Get together and start setting aside days where you hang out and do things together. I would also try to find out if there are deeper issues that got the two of you to this stage.

IN Union, a penalty is a general term awarded to a team if the other team infringes. The kicker can decide to kick for position and for a line out or if in range take a shot at goal. The kick for touch will keep posession for the team who got the penalty. A free kick is where a shot cannot be taken on goal and if ball is kicked to touch, they team who were awarded the free lose posession. A free can also be tapped resulting in the team playing from where the free was awarded

As pretty513 has just confirmed - many Americans are quite dumb. I have no idea whether this is the fault of the education system. The UK's education system isn't great at the moment, but I came through it being able to spell and use correct grammar. Going by the spelling and grammar of many of the Americans on here, I think their education has failed them somewhat.


can somone tell me why my hubby will not get close to me anymore

Stink? \nNo, seriously, if he used to be closer and now seems distant with no real connection between the two of you, then you have serious troubles in your relationship. Tell him in a non-threatening manner that you are concerned that you are not feeling as close as you used to. Ask him to go to a counselor to help "you" work out your thoughts. If he feels that the counseling is for you, he will feel less threatened by it and may be more cooperative. We men are "fixers" when presented with a problem. We don't want to talk about it, we want to find a concrete answer and solve the problem.\nI hate to say it, but he may not be as close to you anymore because he has someone else to be close to. Only you know him well enough. You must approach him with this though or it will tear you both apart. If he doesn't at least seem concerned with your thoughts and feelings, then he may have already left in his mind.


does it exist in your state and if so do you think it should. i live in australia and we dont have it here muchto some peoples opinion that we should have. what type of criminals should be executed. just curious

Yes, for 2 reasons - they made their choice when they took a life & why should we as taxpayers pay to fed, clothe, educate & guard life sentence criminals.\nIn our state it is rarely given - must be cruel - like all murder is not cruel. Murderers forfeit their right to live.\nMy brother was murdered while buying a gallon of milk during robbery. They got the death penalty but it was overturned & they get out this year his 3 children are not even out of college yet. They grew up without him.

I could be a number of things--but it sounds like he has an open cyst in his colon.  I would suggest that this is not normal and that he should seek medical attention.   A colonoscopy is very helpful for internal examination of the colon and large intestines.  This will see if it is in the colon or possibly coming from elsewhere, such a bile discharge or a stomach Ulcer.  See a physician sooner rather than latter.

Salad Fingers is kind of a wierd guy, what do you think would help him become sane again ?\n\nhttp://www.fat-pie.com/salad2.htm

He lives comfortably in his own reality; that's the pinnacle of sanity, I think. It's when his reality starts messing with him that he becomes insane. However, David Firth's Milkman is insane. If you liked Salad Fingers, you may like Milkman as well, although it is more on the disturbing side.

give me ALLL of the details\nwhat is it abouts\nwhat hhappened

jigsaw gathers up people that have been incarcerated by one certain cop.  he also puts the cops son in with them. they are in a house with a deadly gas that makes them bleed to death and they only have so long to figure out how to get the syringes filled with the antidote. the cops find jigsaw but can't arrest him becuase they see he has monitors viewing these people in the house.  cops son was in the safe the whole time and if the cop would have sat and carried on a conversation with jigsaw, he would have supposedly let him know his son was in the safe.  I guess everything they were watching on the monitors was pre-recorded.  In the end, Amanda lives and decides that jigsaw was like a father to her and says she will carry on where he left off.


le i don know why this changed me my cousins and people near me think i'm pretty but i don think so because the only group i belong to doesn't want me i'm black black people make fun of me at school i can't say all of them is this because their jealous if i look good they won't talk to my sometimes laugh AT ME I DON KNOW WHAT I SHOULD do to stop this

Hey girl. Ok, first let me say this. I am light skinned and have been called high yellow. And while you are being made fun of for being dark skinned (which I think is beautiful) I was and still do get made fun of for being light skinned.\nI am a lot older than you (add 13 years to your age) and I have a friend who I have been friends with since I was about 7. Do you know that this chick still makes remarks about light skinned people and my color.\nShe has told me on occassions that the only reason guys are into me is because I am light skinned with long hair and that guys are still hung up on that look. How do you think that makes me feel? No one can choose what color/race they are and if you weren't dark skinned, you would be getting made fun of for something else. \nSo as hard as it is, don't even worry about it cuz if people are making fun of you, then they aren't good enough to be your friends anyways. You can't stop it. Just try your best to ignore it and be the best YOU that you can be. Don't try to be someone you are not and don't let them see that it bothers you.\nKeep your beautiful head up.


i mean just why is it so cool to have one?

i dont think it is\nits way over rated\nkinda pathetic


The most acute sight in the eye is in the area called the macula. In that area are the most cells which can show both color and detail. The cones and rods of the eyes contain photo-sensitive chemicals. The chemicals undergo very (very) fast reactions when they react to photons. Still they are chemicals which need constant variety to keep a balance.  When one color is constantly received, the chemical is not maintained in a normal balance. The cell's photo receptors which are NOT activated by the repetitive color recover faster and report a false image to the brain. the macula has enough receivers to keep up with the color signal when you follow the color around the circle. When you look at the center, the cells outside the macula are reporting and there are not enough of them to keep up with the color overload. They gradually run out of the photo chemical and stop reporting the signal. Their recovery rate is a little slower than the rate of the rotating color signal.\nI really enjoyed that demonstration of the workings of the eye! Thanks.


I do not want to follow up everyday because I am busy with my career.  So, I want to put this money in something very safe and growing.....any idea?

The answer to this depends on what you will need the money for, and when you'll need it. If it's anything over 10 years (ie retirement, kids' college education, saving for that vacation home, etc), equities-based investments are the way to go. Long term, they've average an 11% return, compared to 6.8% for real estate, 5% for bonds, and 2.5% for cash investments. Of course, stocks are a lot more volatile than most other kinds of investments (excepting commodities, of course), so short-term, a mostly-stock portfolio is a no-go.\n\nIndividual stocks are usually way too risky to even bother with, to be even more forthcoming. In 2000, you could have invested in the #1 energy company in the U.S., or the #2 phone company. What could have been more stable than a couple of leading utilities? Ask the shareholders of Enron and Worldcom, respectively. No, a far smarter, and safer, way to get that needed equity exposure is through high-quality mutual funds. I'm not talking the junky tech-bombs that exploded on the scene the late 90's. I'm talking about quality funds that own quality stocks, and have a quality track record to back it up.\n\nNo matter what route you go with, the most important thing is to DIVERSIFY. Diversify, diversify, diversify. I can't say it enough. A good rule of thumb for most people is that your age should be the percentage you are in fixed income investments, like bonds, CDs, and cash. Thus, the older you get, the more conservative you'll become. Of course, your individual risk tolerance will vary.\n\nAssuming you are 25, a sample portfolio like the following will be sufficient:\n\n20% Large-cap stocks\n20% Mid/small cap stocks\n20% International stocks\n5% Real Estate Investments\n5% Commodities\n5% Precious Metals\n10% Government bonds\n10% Corporate Bonds\n5% International bonds\n\nAs daunting as that may or may not look, it can be achieved very easily through just a few mutual funds. Consult a financial advisor, or do the research yourself if you have the time, tools, and talent. Oh, and the discipline. That's probably the #1 reason people go to financial advisors: they realize they don't have the discipline to stick with a plan on their own.\n\nA portfolio like the one above should average 8-10% annually, or better. They key is that all the different asset calsses behave differently when the same economic event happens, like, say, interest rates risiin, or a war starting in Bulgaria. Stocks behave differently than bonds, which behave differently than commodities, which behave differently tha real estate, etc.\n\nThis sort of portfolio should average 8-12% per year, so just split the difference and say 10%. Will it do 10% EVERY year? Of course not. I'd be surprised if it ever did EXACTLY 10%. That's an annual average. Using the "Rule of 72", where you divide the number 72 by your return % to see how often your money will double, we see that if this portfolio is earning 10%, it will double every 7.2 years. Compare that to a money market earning 2%, which will double every 36 years!\n\nSo, in 7 years you should have about $140,000\nin 14 years you should have about $280,000\nin 21 years you should have about $560,000\nin 28 years you should have about $1,120,000\nin 35 years you should have about $2,240,000\nin 42 years you should have about $4,480,000\nin 49 years you should have about $8,960,000\nin 56 years you should have about $17,920,000\nand on and on and on....\n\nOf course, if you keep adding money in, say $100 a month, you'll become a millionaire MUCH sooner. The key is discipline, and sticking in when markets are up OR down. Don't try to time the market--you'll NEVER get it right.\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.


Particularly movie stars..\n\nI do not think so..\n\nMy reason is this..We only get to see them on screen and everything looks rosy there..

Potentially yes, they can be good role models. But a majority of them are not. Because a lot of celebrities are warped through so much fame and money, they forget what and who's important, disregarding everything else around them.


one year ago while we fall in love both of v love eachother we cant'live withot eachother.now we want get marrie but our famaly guys not allow us so now what i will have to do

The solution that will please everybody is to wait.  If you are so much in love neither of you is going anywhere then just enjoy being together and please the families, you have your whole lives to spend together enjoy it.


basically how do you know if you still have feelings for your ex

U still think of him/her almost everyday, u like to remember the good and bad moments spent together, u take his/her name often, u want to email, chat or sms (short message service) him/her. U often ask the question: how would been my life if I was still with him/her. And when u asking other people 'how do you knwo if you're still in love'.


the disease Apoplexy was common 100 years ago, but I wish I knew what the word means. Would it have anything to do with the Heart?

Apoplexy is an old-fashioned medical term, generally used interchangeably with cerebrovascular accident (CVA or stroke) but having other meanings as well.\n\nNon-medical meaning\nIt is also used colloquially, particularly in its adjective form apoplectic, to mean furious, enraged, or upset to the point of being unable to deal with the situation rationally or diplomatically. \nApoplexed is a term used in Hamlet once.


I find it absolutly disgusting and I fear I'm the only one.\nWhat is your opinion on it?

Its not really that bad. If you dont feel comfortable with it than that is just fine! \n\nThere should be no reason that you should force yourself into feeling comfortable just because society, or anyone on Yahoo! Q & A tells you you should. \n\nIf you have tried it before and you dont like it, than dont do it if you dont want to. Dont let anyone forec you to do differently. \n\nIf you have never done it, than why not give it a shot? There may be a chance that you do like it. I used to be completely pertrified by the though of any kind of oral sex. \n\nIt took me a few times but now I love it. Both giving and recieving.\n\nStick to your feelings


They do believe Jesus is their savior, is this enough for them to make it into heaven.  Please explain why.

OK, I'm a Mormon (convert of ten years) and am amazed at the level of ignorance shown here. Here's how it really is:\n\nWe DO NOT believe that God had sex with Mary. (Pernicious falsehood started by anti-Mormons)\n\nWe DO believe "that Jesus is Lord and that He died on the cross and he rose from the dead on the third day". [c.f. "Jesus_is_awesome"]\n\nWe believe that Jesus and satan are spirit brothers ONLY IN THE SENSE that everyone and everything, even satan, are created by God. People created by the same father are brothers.\n\nWe DO believe in salvation by grace, and we DO NOT believe that our good works save us. However, when we confess faith in Jesus Christ we promise to follow him. "If ye love me, keep my commandments". Our works are what show that He is Lord of our lives. If we deliberately fail to live according to his will we cannot really have meant that prayer. (But we know we can repent when we make a mistake.)\n\nI recently asked "What must I do to be saved?" I had 33 answrs, all of which said something along the lines of "Accept Jesus Christ and repent of your sins." I have done that, therefore I am saved and going to heaven. I also happen to be a Mormon.


A family is paying mortgage on a house. This family took out a cash loan in their name to help my friend, Scot for his business, and the same house is collateral again. Scot would pay the family, and the family would pay the bank.\n\nQuestion is, is it possible to collateralize a house they're already paying a mortgage on? Is this what you call a second/junior mortgage?\n\nThe problem is Scot's business has failed and the family is defaulting on the cash loan since Scot has no way to make those payments. And this family is asking Scot to pay (lumpsum or installments) otherwise they'd lose the house. Does that sound legit? Am I missing something in this arrangement?\n\nScot has no way to pay right now, although he surely wants to pay them back, but I don't want them to give Scot some false scenarios. And Scot has no communication with the bank.\n\nThank you much!

Okay, here is the deal--\n\nIf they had a mortgage and they have decent credit and equity in the house, they could get a 2nd mortgage/equity line of credit.  That line of credit is considered a 2nd mortgage and it is recorded on the deed just like the first mortgage was.  They can indeed lose their house, either lender can decide to forclose on the house for missed payments.  Usually what happens is the first mortgage holder buys out the 2nd and then forcloses on the house.  \n\nIf they got a 2nd mortgage, they probably got a checkbook, so they could have written a check and gotten cash to give to Scott, but it was still a 2nd mortgage.  Payments will be due just like the first mortgage, every month.\n\nIf they aren't getting enough to pay both, they should immediately contact the first lender and see if they can refinance with both their mortgage and the equity line of credit.  This might be difficult because they have used all their equity in their house, so they are reborrowing for full value of the house and the bank might not go for it.  \n\nIt would be terrible for these people to lose their home because they tried to help somebody out.  I hope they can all find a solution.\n\nThey might also contact www.naca.com  \n\nIt's a non-profit housing advocacy group and they do some refinancing.  They are very much about people keeping their homes, so they might be able to help you where a bank might be less helpful.  \n\nGood luck!


Should we end the war in Iraq and withdraw, or should we continue to fight terrorism around the world? How should we do this and how will it help our nation?

Hearts and minds.  We need to fight terrorism, but not how we fight nations.  Veitnam has taught us nothing.  We need to fight with money and good will, not bombs and bullets.  America needs to clean up and improve these peoples lives.  The make 5 dollars a month in some of these places, that is not enough to live on.  Not only that but they have tons of people telling them what to think.  We need to show them how we are.  \n\nIn Iraq, instead of blazin though the country on tanks, we needed to go through slowly, taking the ports and the southern tip of the country.  We rebuild everything before we move on.  So what they would see is Sadam become crazy and powerless.  I am 100% sure that he would have lost his peoples trust even more on his own.  If we went though bit by bit and set up clean water, hospitals, food, and an economy, who would have really wanted to face us as we came in.  There would have been tons of cheering and very few shoots fired.  Instead we made the country into a big shit sandwhich and now we have to take a bite.\n\nSo I feel that hearts and minds is the way to go.  It will take longer than wipping the countries off the map, but then we cant become that.


The Veronicas are awsome! The US is dumb because they aren't getting popular here! They are at #2 on the ARIAcharts since the day they were released on CD in AUssIe! It's not right! Leave me an answer saying you're their fan and you promise to get them heard of EVERYWHERE! On radios, to your friends, online! Please, THeY ARE REALLY, TRULY GOOD SINGERS, they deserve some publicity!

mate the veronicas are from australia no one in the US listens to australian music.\nthey arent that bad though.


it's intersting. that when someone tells me that God is Only One I agree with him without even questioning him. \n\nand i came around this verse that explains one of the secret. that before we become humans God has witnessed us that He is God. and we testified by "Yes you are God". so God knows who believed and who disbelieved. \n\ni came around this verse in the Quran that explains this:\n\nQuran ch7\n[172] And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we have been unaware of this."

This is Amazing!  I'm gonna convert to Islam right now!  How do I that?


i wanna take in only 1500 calories a day.  whats a good meal plan thats gonna evenly spread out my calorie intake throughout the day? so like ill be able to eat breakfast lunch and dinner and maybe a snack but still stay under 1500 calories

you need a diet that starts you off with a good, big breakfast. no matter if its where most of your calories come from, breakfast is most important. then the rest of the day, eat healthy food like lots of fruits and veggies and whole grains instead of refined or other grains. you can have snacks if you're still under 1500 cals, but make sure its a 100 cal pack of something yummy! and i don't really think that its that good for you to stay under 1500 cal, but you can try! maybe raise it to 2000 and exercise more if you're trying to lose weight also.

I am hoping to start a web site that will bring people to it and than I can try and make money of the advertising (doe to traffic) on the web site, also it would primarily be directed to the local area where I live, that way I can concentrate on local company adds

It really depends on what kind of stuff you need built into the website.  If you need a professional design, it can cost you $500.  If you just need a page with links on it, you can find a guy in a chat room who will do it for free.  There is also the cost of the domain and hosting.  That's generally $8 a year plus maybe $5 a month.


Where are blood usually drawn for an STD/ HIV test?\n\nand can it only be drawn once to find out for STDs and HIVs.. like can they use it for both?.. and is there a test for AIDs or is it with the STD and HIV?

Hi - \n\n  There are different ways to test for HIV and other STDs.  Blood may be drawn (usually from your arm) to check for HIV antibodies.  \n\n  Other STDs like chlamydia or gonorhea are tested for by a swab (from your vagina or penis - I don't know if you're male or female).  Other stds like herpes or genital warts can be identified by a visual check.  \n\n  AIDS is identified after you have a positive HIV test.  They check to see what your T cell count is (to check and see how healthy your immune system is) or see if you've had certain opportunistic infections.  There is no single test to determine if someone has AIDS.  \n  \nHope that helps!

Write the equations for the nth term for the following and state whether they are arithmetic geometric or neither.\nA) 16, 24, 36, 54\n\nB)t1= 4 tn= tn-1 + 2n-1

Arithmetic means you add a certain number to each term to obtain the next term.\n\nGeometric means you multiply each term by a certain number to obtain the next term.\n\nLook at (A).  You get each term by multiplying the previous term by 1.5, so it's geometric.\n\n(B) is neither.  The additive number changes from term to term, so it's not arithmetic.  No multiplication is involved, so it's not geometric.

I went on holiday to mexico last year and it was the best holiday ever. why do Americans hate Mexicans? I think the majority of them are very  nice people..

I agree. I am mexican and love Mexico and its people. Although, the mexicans that live in Mexico are much different than the ones living in the U.S. But still, I think the majority of mexican people are humble, nice, sweet and very lively. ITs very ignorant for some people to say bad things of Mexico and their people when they have never even traveled to Mexico.


2X - 15 + X + 2/3X = 106\n\nI need to solve for X... I have the answer (back of book), but i need the formula. Please help!

Okay, so combine all like terms (i.e. the aX's, and the numbers without a variable):\n2X+X+2/3(X)-15 = 106\nNext, simplify the terms that you can:\n2X+X = 3X\n3X+ 2/3(X) = 3 and 2/3 (X) or 11/3 (X)\n(it is usually easier to use improper fractions with algebra, in my experience)\nSo, now the problem reads:\n11/3 (X) - 15 = 106\n\nWell, does this look like something you can do?\n\n\nSo, add 15 to both sides to balance them out so that they are still equal (the main point of algebra is to rewrite a problem so that it is still the same, but in a different form that you can use to your advantage, which is done by "making both sides equal", or doing the same to both sides. Technically, you could square both sides and it would still be true (ex: (2X-15+X+2/3(X))^2 = 106^2)\nbut why would you do that? It wouldn't really be useful.  anyhoo . . .)\nSo now the problem is:\n11/3 (X) = 121\nThe reason you do addition and subtraction first is because it makes things less complicated.  Really, you could do it in any order, so long as you make both sides equal, but you could really complicate things and make it more likely to get the problem wrong if you do multiplication or division first because you have to do it to the WHOLE SIDE, meaning, you would be adding somthing like 11/3 * 15 to 11/3 * 106.  Complicated.\nSo now, you are practically done.  Divide 121 by 11/3 (or multiply 121 by 3/11) and you've got your answer, which by the way is 33.  Now that you've got it, plug it in and double check to make sure it's right, as in\n(2*33) - 15 + 33 + (2/3(33)) =? 106

basic remedy for hemorroids aside from surgery

Switch to a natural whole foods diet with lots of soluble and non soluble fiber (produce, oats, apples, wheat and rice bran, whole grains) and they will go away..mine did.\n\nSome of the herbs listed for hemorrhoids in Dr. Christopher's huge herbal--"school of Natural Healing" are Black walnut, burdock, butternut, cascara sagrada, chaparral, chickweed, goldenseal, licorice, mullein, plantain, red raspberry. spearmint, witch hazel, and yarrow.\n\nI'm sorry I don't have time to research the application right now but I did with witch hazel..It says take internally and give a rectal injection of an infusion or decoction (tea) and burdock..make a strong tea..cool..inject 3-4 tbs a day (more in bad cases) and especially after each B.M.--mullein =--apply mullein ointment and drink the tea..that should get you started.

The Bible plainly states several times to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ...\n\nActs 19:4,5 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.\n 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.\nActs 2:38 "...repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ..."\n\n***Matthew 28:19 DOES NOT SAY TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE WORDS FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT. IT PLAINLY SAYS IN THE NAME. (JESUS) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"

The proper form of baptism is in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as Jesus designated in Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."  The clear command of Jesus is to baptize this way.  But, if that is so, then why do we see so many instances in the New Testament where people were baptized "in Jesus' name"? \n\nThe reason they were baptizing "in the name of Jesus" is not because it was a formula, but because the phrase, "in the name of" means "in the authority of.  We can see proof of this in Acts 4:7-10,\n\n"And when they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, 'By what power, or in what name, have you done this?' 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, 'Rulers and elders of the people, 9 if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well, 10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health.'"\n\n     The Jews asked "by what power, or in what name, have you done this?"  Peter answers and says that it was in the name of Jesus, that they had healed.  In other words, "in the name of Jesus" means that it is by the power and authority found in Christ.\n\nThe only bible that disputes Matthew 28:19 is the New World Translation bible. That Bible was mis-translated and changed by the Jw cult. No bible scholar or language expert takes that bible serious.

y = mx + b\n\n"m" is the slope, which is the rise over the run.  y2-y1 / x2/1 = (1-3)/(3-2) = -2/1\nSo, m = -2\n\nPlug in a set of coordinates to find b...\n3 = -2(2) + b\nb = 7\n\nSo, the equation is y = -2x + 7\n\nIn yout case, you want it as Ax+By+C = 0\nThis would be 2x + y - 7 = 0

I mean how does our DNA insert the sequences that translate to the different proteins that makes us stand straight or have less hair. I mean where do this sequences came from??

Ultimately all changes in DNA sequence across all living organisms are the result of mutations.  Essentially, the copying process went wrong somewhere along the line and generated a change.  These may occur as a result of many factors.\n\n1.) Substitutions are changes in single bases.  A becomes T for example.  In a large fraction of cases, this will lead to  a change in the amino acid, which in turn changes the protein.\n\n2.) Indels (insertion/deletion events) will add or subtract DNA.  During replication, a segment of DNA may be added or removed leading to a change.  It is also possible that DNA becomes damaged or lost and that change is passed on to future generations.\n\n3.) Recombination can lead to novel arrangements of existing strands of DNA.  It can also occur improperly and generate change (often through indels).\n\n4.) Chromosomal rearrangement.  If chromosomes break they may reattach elsewhere, become a whole new chromosome, or lose parts entirely.  This can lead to moving an allele into a completely new gene environment.  The protein itself may not change, but the expression of the protein might.\n\nFinally, natural selection and random effects (such as bottlenecks) will affect the gene frequencies.  Sometimes these will allow for new interactions of genes.


i was wondering if any self employed accountnat would tell me a little about their job environment. Do they have people working for you. Do you earn a descent salary? any information would be good.\n\nthankyou

I would suggest, start out alone and work until you cannot do it by yourself then hire out. You want to keep you overhead as low as possible starting out. You can easily earn a decent living by keeping overhead down. find creative ways to advertise and do all the advertising you can do within your budget. Research accounting rates in your area- that will give you an idea of where you need to be in order to make a decent living at accounting. Take advantage of tax season and do as many returns as possible.  Give your clientele a reason to return to you.

Okay once again..\nStringBuffer b = buf.replace(6,10,"orld");\n\nThis replaces offset 6 to 10 with world... So offset 6 in your case is W so it would be:\nHello orld\n\nNow That is correct..

People have told me that if you're a not-so-attractive person and you lose weight you'll suddenly be better looking. Is this true do you think? Just say you're a tiny little bit bigger than others, if you lost a little bit, would your appearance change? I suppose this is more of a question of, how big a difference do diets make? People have also said that when they've been only slightly overweight no one pays attention and when they're thin, everyone does. Does a face come into consideration in the end?

Depending upon the weight-loss...  yes, your appearance will change.  This is obvious, for the most part.  As far as your attractiveness...?  Well, a lot of that has to do with your own level of self-confidence.  When I lost weight, I found people approaching me right and left...  people that I had never thought I'd have a chance with.  It didn't take long for me to realize that this was mainly cause I felt good about myself, and this, in turn, was reflected in my outward appearance.  It's amazing how beautiful a person can look with a smile on their face and a twinkle in the eye.  :)

I was talking to a friend about Kabbalah and all the stars who have been converting to it, and she said that it was impossible, because you had to be born Jewish to be Jewish, you couldn't convert.\n\nIs this true?  If so, what's the deal with stars like Madonna being Kabbalah (she grew up Catholic)?

According the Jewish custom, in order to study Kaballah, you must meet 3 requirements...you must be a male who has grown up studying the Torah for at least 40 years. Only then will you have the spiritual foundation capable of sustaining the wisdom contained within the Kaballah.\nStars like Madonna have $ to throw around. All they need to do is way the right amount in front of someone to get what they want.


I am overweight and i have this great boyfren and i love him and he loves me...however there is a doubt will he still love me if i dont loose the weight....i want to ..but lets say i dont will he still love me? will he be that patient and wait beside me...we have been together for 2 yrs now and when he met me i was abit bigger...i guess....give me your opinion....i appreciate it...have a great weekend my angel frenz...

love isn't soley about looks. If someone really loves you they will love you no matter what size you are. If you want to loose the weight go for it! If your boyfriend suddenly doubts his love or changes how he feels, then he was with you for all the wrong reasons.\n\nIf you are really concerned on how he will feel about it, talk it over with him. Let him know if you want to loose the weight how important it is to you. If he has already been with you for 2 years, chances are he will be by your side to help you, and love you no matter what!

i want to study the linkages of cognition and emotion for its implications in developing emotions in adoloscents. how can we apply the linkages in school?

This answer would generally take volumes to answer and hopefully you will get many different versions. One aspect is that people often see what they expect to see or want to see, and are unaware that they have made the cognitive mistake. For example, a photograph of an office was shown to people. They were asked to study the photo, then it was taken away and they had to write down all the items they remembered from the picture. Many people included a bookcase among the items, although there was no bookcase in the photo. People assumed there would be, so the mind registered the bookcase, regardless of the fact that the eyes didn't see one. So we see a situation the way we expect to see it. Okay, that's one cognitive part (among many). An adolescent is developing from a period of youthful self-absorption to a fuller relationship with the world. He or she expects adolescence to be a certain way because as a 9 and 10 fantasies about being older - being in high school, create an image of what they expect to see. In the mean time hormones are affecting emotions and body development adding to the cognitive/emotional mix. One example is: a girl or boy is friendly to a boy or girl, and the one thinks the other is making a play. Nothing of the sort may be happening but that is what is expected and seen, so it becomes true. What is believed, seen, expected becomes absolutely true, so when reality hits that it was only an act of friendship, the confused one feels the sense of loss as if there was a relationship to have lost. That's why in young people there can be so much drama.


i like a guy and want him to like me i am 16 and he is 17 but he stays far away from me i hav tld him i like him but dnt want to enter into a prelation but he wants so wat to do

thats matter of importance. If he really values you and your morals but enjoys your company and partnership that takes a back seat.


Ok, so, we aren't married and we don't live together. That's gotta be a good thing if I don't think he cares enough to show it, right? I'm just confused as to why I'm still with him. Lonely? Poor self image? Feel sorry for him? Tired of looking? Does anyone have a similar situation?

You are still with him because you dont believe in yourself. If he isnt feeling you by now, he never will, leave him and find someone that appreciates you.\nOr better yet talk to him about how you feel, if he cant open up and tell you where his head is at, let him go


I don't believe there was a Designing Women Reunion as far as I can find. In fact, the only episodes out on DVD or VHS are 4 from the series, including the pilot.  I bought it for my wife who is a big fan of DW.  Here is a site that tells all you would ever want to know about DW, including how to order the DVD. \n\nWe tape it on Lifetime channel because it airs at 7 am in our time zone with our cable company.


lots of people say his like the notorious serial killer of all time but he just killed and raped people, weren't there tons of killers who did that? i'm not sayin all of them did that but some? and he didn't eat ppl which i think is relle \sick like jeff used to do. so why is he teh worst?

I don't know if I would say that Ted Bundy was the worst serial killer America has ever or will ever see. But he was, I think one of the sicker ones. I been raping a dead body? Thats pretty sick. Of course so is eating a body, but Jeff didn't kill as many girls as Ted. You really should watch his movie. I like watching the True movies about Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Alien Wurnos and Jefferay Dahmer, but I will say by far the worst moive was Ted's... Its alot sadder because there was so many of them. I don't know if I'd say he's the worst one out there, but what would it be like if they didn't catch him?


I believe americans need to have confidence in independent parties. These guys that are in cahoots are breaking us finacially and morally.

True that. We're overdue for an Independent Party, or a Reform Party, or the Constitution Party. The DNC/GOP play us off on each other, or vainly try to, in hopes of duping us into 'voting' for more money for them and their ambitions. No accountability, and they've more or less worked together long enough to basically short out checks and balances. Right now, with the GOP in majority, they basically run things, so any griping should be more directed at the republicans, but save some for the dems too, wouldn't want em to feel left out! LOLOL\n\nI think the merit of the Independent Party concept is the idea of harkening back to the concept of independence, which sort of flies in the face of 'globalization', but we've seen how committed the politicians are to the public in the face of suitcases full of money. Iraq's a good example of that, mega-dollars for special interests in supporting the 'war effort', with zero public accountability. And, that's not all...these guys have a racket, and the only way to bust it up is to have an election, and impeachment hearings. That's where the voters come in, because at the end of the day, the worst corruption has been the collective ignorance and apathy of 'We, The People'. If you don't vote, don't read the issues, there's no way to have ANY clue about what might even be going on, or who's robbing the till the worst this week. Public accountability only comes when enough people decide to stand up together and say 'enough'. I'd say that the introduction of a new party, like the Independents, would do exactly that. FIRST, we fix america. THEN, help others.


Which do you like the best?\n\nNarnia, The Lion, The Which and The Wardrobe\nor\nKing Kong\n\nAlsan the lion\nor\nKing Kong the monkey\n\nCoke or Sprite?\n\nThanks.

Narnia\nalsan\nsprite\nliked d question!\nr u having a movie night?


If yes, how many and names.\nIf no, why not.

No, the Soviet Union never succeeded in landing a person on the moon. Why? Well, they abandoned their moon program in 1969 when their N-1 rocket boosters that would get them there failed many successive launch tests; this discouraged them enough that they canceled the program altogether. And it didn't help when the first lunar landing by Apollo XI occurred in July of that very year.


It's so little!  I'm just shocked no one has taken it over.

You must be joking. Take over England? England already took everyone over. I'm Irish, I should know. I think you should write your President a letter and ask him to take over England.


Would you try something you have always wanted to do, but never had a chance to? Maybe spend the time entirely with your family. This question derives from the theme in the movie Last Holiday.

I'd spend as much time with my family, both familial and furry as I could.  Love them, hug, them and verbalize my love.  Plant flowers, swim, run if I had the energy.  \n\nIf I had the funds, I'd visit Australia (one of my dream vacations)  \n\nWhen it was the end?  I'd want all my sister, brothers, husband, children holding me.


do you think man as being not contented with what he/she has is the reason we all have this negative energy all around us?

Too much focus on the self, me, me, me, so that's where the problem lies. When you focus on others, giving, caring and sharing, you become more happy because you tend to think less on your own problems and realize that there are those who got it way worse than you.


It can also be names of movies that depict these themes (ownership and accountability) in other situations

Gung Ho - Stars Michael Keaton as a Detroit automotive plant foreman who inspires his lazy American workforce to accept a challenge from the new Japanese owners in order to attempt to keep their jobs. The workers ultimately become proud of their product and learn that each individual is important to the process, but not above it.\n\nTommy Boy - Stars the late Chris Farley and David Spade as employees in Tommy Boy's Father's Brake Pad factory.  This really is more of an over the top comedy, but the themes of ownership and accountability are embedded through out the movie.\n\nBoth movies are pretty funny.


but he didn't look very good naked.  I sometimes stare at girls who I think are pretty.  But like the other day I saw one.  She ended up having two moles on her back.  I couldn't quite figure it out because she didn't have any moles on her front - like on her face or neck or arms or front of her fore arms or hands.

What is the address of your trailer park?

You are not alone.  I am frustrated with the decreasing quality of the site due to that.  And I've seen other questions asking why it has gotten so bad, so you are not the only one.

I know a particular girl who is a few yrs younger to me. Whenever we stand in a crowd of males, she points to the men around me that I am senior to them in age. I feel offended because there is no reason she should be doing this especially before men. Several times I have tried to ignore this behaviour but to no avail. How do I deal with this?

It sounds as if she is jealous of you and putting you down in front of others (esp. men) makes her feel better about her self. Talk to her about how this makes you feel, if this doesn't work trying giving her a taste of her own medicine..maybe then she will see for herself how it feels. It it still becomes a problem, find a new friend. Good luck.


isn't the God who forgave the sins of those before Jesus. is also able to forgive the sins of those who will come after Jesus? \n\nGod has forgave before in the old testimony:\n---------------\nPassage Numbers 14:20:\n20. GOD said, "I forgive them, honoring your words. \n\nPassage Jeremiah 33:8:\n8. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.\n\nthere are more. but just got my point. no one should kill himself. and no one should die for the sins of others. \n\nand even after the death of jesus, you still need to repent ur sins. so what is the point?

First of all, I apologize on behalf of Donald Shaw.  I thought his response to your question was absolutely terrible, and very un-Christian.  \n\nI was dismayed that, instead of sharing his faith with you and trying to bring Christ to you, he chose words that would serve no other purpose than to alientate you and push you away.   Trust me, not all of us Christians are like that.\n\nNow, in response to your question:\n\nGod can (and does) effect His forgiveness in any way He wishes.  He's God.  He can do whatever He wants.\n\nSo why did He have His Son suffer and die for our sins?  \n\nOne reason is that this was predicted in the Old Testament.  The OT speaks of a "suffering servant," a human Lamb of God who -- like the lamb sacrificed each year by the ancient Jews on the Day of Atonement -- would die for us and take our sins with Him. \n\nSecond, human nature being what it is, it's not enough for us to read something (like "your sins are forgiven") and then believe it.  We human beings need visuals.  We need proof.  For us, seeing is truly believing.  \n\nAnd seeing Christ suffer and die the worst form of execution in the history of capital punishment -- for us! -- is truly believing.  \n\nWhy else would anyone, let alone the Son of God, willingly put Himself through that?   He certainly didn't do it for nothing.  He definitely didn't do it for Himself.  \n\nHe did it to conquer sin and death.  And for those who believe in Him, that's what He accomplished.


i am waiting to leave with my husband to Washington D.C. How long is the waiting list>on BASE

how long it takes is based on his pay grade, the number of bedrooms he's entitled too and the availability of that size housing.  Wait lists can vary form 1 or two days to one or two years, it just depends on where you are and what's available at that time.


well you sure do like tacos, etc ,but you dont like mexicans!!!! lol how can that be?

I do.  I just don't eat them from the local cantina.  I buy them from a local place that hires only legals.  The food isn't as good but I can say that the legal places won't give me food poisoning.


A few weeks ago i went to this party and this guy started to kiss me and what not and when i realized what i was doing i stoped! Well i didn't want to tell my boyfriend until he got home but i broke down the other night and i had to tell him, and so i did I hurt him back and he said this is my last chance if it happens again thats it. Which is good but how can i get him to trust me again?

It's very difficult to win trust back I'm afraid. However, if you love him and he loves you then work on it, nothing is impossible.


Any jurisdiction will do, but a metropolitan area would be better.

Depraved indifference murder was traditionally reserved for exceptionally heinous cases of involuntary manslaughter, where the perpetrator's conduct was so wanton and devoid of regard for human life that it could reasonably be equated with intent to kill. Some of the "classic" examples of depraved indifference murder are firing a weapon in a crowded place, dropping a heavy object from a height onto a busy street or driving a speeding vehicle down a sidewalk. Depraved indifference was generally regarded as a state of mind involving both moral culpability - the "depraved" part - and extreme indifference to the lives of the victims.

Do you find it odd that right before the election we had so many terrorist alerts, and immediately afterwards we have hardly had any?

No I am not surprised that there is no terrorist attacks. Unfortunately I don't believe there ever was any. Better take a close look at who would have benefited from such an attach (not only benefit but have the means to carry out) and you will find that its not anyone who is muslim. Check out the documentary 9/11 Loose Change. They have hard facts.


i was told mason had some special services available to them, i do not know where to beging to find the answers

If you are referring to Freemasons, then I can answer that since I am one.  We do have retirement homes that are available to members and their wives, but they are not free.  They still cost money, although some of the cost may be subsidized by the fraternity.\n\nDepending on a lodge's location, there are also many family activities available such as theater and ballgame tickets, and many other activities to encourage family activity.\n\nIf you want to know more, you can email me or you can contact your local Masonic lodge, but remember that people do not join Freemasonry in order to get access to benefits.  People join because they are interested in community service, charity, history, and becomeing better men.


There's this guy I knew for a long time and we finally went out we are now apart because he was hugging and holding some other girl i still like him,but i don't know what to do and my friends tell me i shouldn't get back with him.What do u think i should do.

Sounds like he wants to date others. Can you handle that, or do you want to be exclusive?


Whats something that has many differtent uses.\nWhy?\nAnd what are the uses?\nJust Wondering.

hair on your head, it helps keep your head warm, and you can express aspects of personality with it, and it is a part of a persons sexualality, it pleases the 3 of the sences; touch, look, and smell.


im in 8th grade and yesterday i wrote the girl that i like a poem that said i liked her and it also asked her on a date. she didnt say a single thing to me! today i took her aside and told her that i like her. the response was that she wasnt sure wheather or not she liked me or not and that she felt sort of weird. i dont know what to do now and would like any advice anyone has for me on what to do next!

Hello there!!=) \n\nWell, i think that you just might have come on too strong and she is shocked from what had happened..So i think that you should give her some time to think about how she feels about you. And she'll come around and let you know how she feels. Just give her few days and for now be cool dont push it...hope this is helpful! gud luck n take cares! =) oh and if she dont give you an answer after a few days then just go up to her and ask her watsup? but try to be cool kay! laterz


My family and friends have informed me that they have emailed me, but I'm not receiving any emails, but I'm receiving alot of spam emails.  Help.  What do I do so I can receive the email I want?

If you are using a free web-based mail service, such as Yahoo! Mail, I guess the easiest thing for you to do is to drop your current email address and create a new account. Tell all your friends and family that you have done so, and your inbox should be relatively free from spam from then on.\n\nThen, DO NOT answer ANY spam letter you get. All those offers of free iPods, free XBOX games, free HP notebooks, offers from people overseas saying that your cousin died and left you TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS U.S. and all you need to do is write to them to collect it...they are all spam. You answer any of them, or you click on any of the links they contain, and you have just told the whole spam world "here I am, spam me please". As soon as you confirm that it's spam, delete it. Period.\n\nThen, make sure that your SpamGuard (or whatever else that that feature is called) is enabled in your new web-based email account. Any mail that you receive that you know is spam, click on the button that says "Mark this mail as spam". The more you use it, the more the system will learn to recognize spam and automatically divert it to your Junk mail folder.\n\nThen, all of those popup ads that appear are also mostly spam in the making. Get one of those toolbars that have a Popup Blocker (like Yahoo! Toolbar) and enable it. I feel that any advertiser who has to resort to popups to get my attention doesn't deserve my attention. (sorry Orbitz!)\n\nFinally, keep your antivirus and spyware applications running and up-to-date, and periodically scan your machine, every day for spyware and every week for viruses is a good plan. And get and install a good software firewall on your machine as well.\n\nP.S.: That poster who said that if you use Google Mail you won't get spam isn't exactly correct. What is true is that it doesn't get as much spam as a lot of the other services get, but they do receive spam. I have a GMail account which I don't use with many people and I still get three or four spam mails every time I open my inbox. The good thing though is that it is almost never in my main inbox, but is in the Spam folder already, making it easy to delete it at once.


yeah, that guy that told me that he misses his ex, i met him in the snack shop and he gave me that look, but i dont want to fall for him again, im already hurting, how do i forget him?

I don't think you can ever forget him, unfortunately for you and the rest of us who may suffer from similar problems with our past.  You obviously need to resist him.  You can try to avoid putting yourself in positions where you will run into him.  You know enough about him to know what many of his habits are and where he often will frequent.  It will not stop chance meetings as there is nothing to do about them, but it should limit many of the more risky run ins you may have.  Otherwise, the best hope is that you immerse yourself in some hobby, activity or volunteer somewhere...anything to occupy your mind.  Otherwise, I am at a loss as to what you can do, other than moving away.  Just stay strong and hold to your convictions.  Remember why you are not with him and drill the negative thoughts into your mind, remember the bad times, the bad things and hopefully your desire for him will fade.  Good luck!

I am looking for some other sites that are legitimate and safe other than ebay.  Thanks in advance!!

There are plenty of legitmate and safe (Yahoo has one, for example), but the bottom line is you want the one with the most traffic.  That's ebay...the 800 pound gorilla that can do what it wants.


Sandy Hook is a barrier island. The barrier island is currently eroding. I want to know what to do to avoid the erosion of Sandy Hook.

A barrier island is sand not rock. That sand is going to be moved by waves, wind, and storms. It can't be stopped but it can be slowed by allowing beach plants to grow. (This is why so many beaches ban ATVs.) They help hold the sand in place. Boulders also provide a temporary delay.


I bought my husband a hot air balloon ride for his birthday. We can take it anytime. When is the best season?

A hot-air balloon ride is awesome. After they hit the burners it's so quiet and peaceful. I would probably go in fall depending on where you live so you can see all the leaves changing. I live in New Mexico so it's brown all year round. Plus, we have the Balloon Fiesta every October with 1000 balloons each year. It's so beautiful! It's also the only time you'll be sober and see a flying dinosaur!! :)


If that guy meets the requirements you're looking for, both of you have something in common, and you enjoy each other's company. That is when you'll know that you're with the right guy.

herod supposedly ordered the deayhs of thousands of children born at the time of [jesus ].there is no historical records except the bible .mickey mouse did not exsist till walt disney put him on the map .in the same way jesus did not exsist till the bible was written .do we have proof that jesus did exsist or merely the bible as the sole source of evidence.Is all thats written about jesus suspect and so as we dismiss the devinci code so should we also dismiss the bible as a work of fiction .In the case of the bible it deliberetly cheats people of there property and money each sunday.

I don't know how to answer your question because I have never doubted the existence of Jesus - physically or spiritually.  But I do know my opinion on the Bible being a work of fiction... Think about it this way for a second : Why would the writers of the Bible put so much work into it if it were a work of fiction?  Why would men die for their belief in Jesus if he weren't 'real'?

my ex and I dated off and on for four years in High School should I ask him back or ask him to hang with me? I mean yea I still have feeling for him and all. I think he still has feeling for me too. (He's told me before he still did). So should or not....he calls me sometimes too. (I do not want in for the just sex, he knows i want more out of the relationship and knows I have also have son too) so for that being said........any suggestion to this?

If you guys still have a friendship then go for it. Just hang out with him and see what happens, that is what I plan on doing with mine too.

No. Government without religion is a cold, heartless government. We need religion to help with compassion and understanding, as well as infusing some much-needed morals into our officials. The US was founded on Christian principles, and nowhere in our founding documents does it say that religion is not allowed in government, only that the government cannot establish (ie: force on you) a religion. \n\nTo all those who will start blathering about "separation of church and state" please note that this phrase is NO WHERE in our documents. It is found in private letters written by Thomas Jefferson a decade after this country was founded.


I have lots of questions about Harry Potter.\n- Is harry potter a descendant or family member of Voldemort, seriously?\n- The prophecy, neither can die when both live?, wait, who are the two people, Harry and Neville?\n- Snape a "double agent", but good or bad at last?

1)  No.  J.K. Rowling has said Harry Potter bears no relation to Lord Voldemort.  You may find the answer to that and many more questions at her personal website jkrowling.com.\n\n2)  J.K. Rowling has also stated on her website that Neville is not included in the prophecy and that it refers specifically to Lord Voldemort and Harry... and the actual phrasing is "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives".  What this actually means is still up for much speculation, and while I have my own theories on the subject considering events in the Harry Potter series up to this point, it would take a long time to explain them, so I shall refrain from doing so here.\n\n3)  Is Snape good or bad?  As she points out in her books, people are rarely so simple.  Is Draco Malfoy good or bad?  Most of the evidence we've seen suggests he's bad, but the Sectumsempra chapter of Half Blood Prince gives us a glimpse into a boy who feels very much in over his head and whose public mask of confidence is just that... he's not prepared to be the type of person others want him to be.  Is Snape like that?  We haven't been shown very much of his private workings outside the short trip Harry took through the Pensieve in his office, so that, too is up for debate.  I don't think the evidence points toward him being evil, though, nor does it really indicate what people think it does.  His "unbreakable vow" was not specific in its second part.  Narcissa Malfoy trailed off before specifying what she was asking Snape to do, so for all that he could have interpreted the vow to mean "I must do what Draco Malfoy has been told by Voldemort to do if he fails to brush his teeth tonight!  DRACO!  GET IN HERE!  I SHALL STAND HERE AND WATCH AS YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH THIS INSTANT!"  There you go, that part of the vow's fulfilled.\n\nThat said, though, after he ostensibly killed Dumbledore, his behavior suggests the part of the vow he had to fulfill--since it was the only explicit part-- was to take any action he could to protect Draco Malfoy, which is exactly what he did that night (and what Dumbledore did, too... I have to admit I thought he'd die, but I didn't really ever figure he'd die for Draco Malfoy).  \n\nBeyond that, even while he was fleeing the last thing Snape tried to do in the few seconds between Draco Malfoy escaping to safety and him having to follow, was pound into Harry Potter's head the two lessons Harry needs to most learn to prevail against Lord Voldemort, and which Snape has been increasingly angry Harry has not learned from Snape's repeated attempts to teach him over the past two years.  Instead of truly injuring Harry, he only slowed him up enough so Harry was forced to listen to him... every time Harry attempted to hurt him, he simply knocked the attack aside as a further demonstration of the advantages of being able to use those two abilities (occlumency and silent spell casting) during battle, all while shouting exactly what it was Harry should learn from Snape's easy deflection of the attacks.  He may not be a pleasant man, but Snape's actions were the actions of a teacher who knew he only had a few more moments to instruct a student who did not understand, but whom he was desperate to see succeed (for once).  If he really wanted Harry to fail, he wouldn't have bothered explaining just why those lessons Harry wasn't cottoning onto were so dreadfully important for him to learn, especially since they're the two lessons Snape himself would most have to employ in order to deceive Lord Voldemort and stay alive.


Yahoo is such a famous search engine that I can't believe a guy who created Google are more rich than the guy who created Yahoo.

Fame and fortune don't always go hand-in-hand.  In this case, Yahoo's founders don't have that big a portion of the company.  Maybe they gave it away early on and wanted to spend some.  They also had to go through the entire dot com bust a few years ago so their stock isn't as high.\n\nGoogle had their IPO recently and they're trading at a higher multiple for various reasons.\n\nMost people don't know Warren Buffett, yet he's the 2nd richest in the world.


There are pregnancy tests you can take the *first* day you missed a period. So if you were expecting your period, and didn't get it, you can take one right now.\n\nOr there are brands such as the EPT (Early Pregnancy Test) that you can take very early in your pregnancy.\n\nHop over to your local grocery store or pharmacy and pick one up :)


My husband stopped loving me and I still love him. I feel like I can't or won't go on living without him. How long does it take to get over something like that after so many years? Have you been there? We have two children - 12 and 18.

Oh Lotte, you will not survive, you will THRIVE, sistah!!\n\nrelease your husband , release your guilt, get to know yourself again and embrace your future and all it's possibilities!!\n\nit will take time, some days will still be sad, but you'll be happy again before you know it.\n\ni am living the same thing right now, i know it sucks. just keep walking...


i have a friend that is kinda actin hella funny towards me now cause i mean i dont knoe....she jus all of a sudden just started actin like she didnt want to be friends with me anymore and i aint done shit to her. is it my fault. so basically she talkin about that im messin with people's(boyz)emotions because i be playin around with one boi but im tryin to talk to another boy is it my fault that the other boy likes me now he started. plus im still tryin to talk to the other boy. man...why should i care anymore should i still be friends with her and ask her wats wrong? or do i act like us not being frineds is a no big deal and jus forget we were ever friends? im confused and a little sad what should i do? why care when no one else does?

Its funny because I've just gone through this.  Remember, you must make yourself happy and no one else.  Maybe she's jealous of all the attention you're getting, who knows.  If she's your friend, she wouldn't be jeolous and will eventually come around.  If she doesn't, she was never your friend to begin with.  Enjoy your life, have fun and don't ever worry about what the next person, friend or foe, has to say.  BE HAPPY!!!!!

I have acne on full of my face since 1995. I want to know what the cause is and what kind of remedy is best for removing this.

We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!\n\nThose of us who suffer from acne has usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:\n\n1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work.   Why?  It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\n2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why?  It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\nI found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back.  It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs.  The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.\nThere is a great website:  http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure  that has all the details.  I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.


Asian Pride, Viet Pride, Filipino Pride\n\n\nWhy do people have to be proud of their race?\n\nI mean, Philippine TV has these "Proud to be a filipino" slogans, some asians have Viet, Chinese or Japanese Pride written on their backpacks or binders.\n\n\nOr is it just them?

because everyone is unique in their own way. with people of the same race, they can often band together and feel like there's someone that is like them in the sense that they come from the same culture. some people feel better if there are others like them so that they feel less insecure about themselves. also, some of these groups have been persecuted throughout history causing them to unite for support.


i want to be able to switch from my headset to external speakes an mike without havin to pull out my comp an un plgin them evertime

you will need to add a switch box to allow you to switch speakers on or off, but trying to use speakers and head set at the same time usually causes feed back through the speakers or head set or both


Nope, if you have a permit you have to have a licensed adult in the car. That's why it's a learner's permit and not a drivers license.


If you could erase 1 memory from your mind, which one would it be?

how about erasing the memory of walking in on my GRANDPARENTS?!\noh paul, oh paul! YUK\nyes, this would be the visual i would want gone.


Please dont just throw out wild answer, actually answer if you know for sure.


boys my age are so immature and i like older men because they are sweet - and yes im a virgin so don't ask that question or think im a whore

It's not wrong for you to like older guys.  It may well be wrong for you to act on it, especially depending on what you mean by "older men".  I mean, are you talking about a 16 year old or a 30 year old?  Any "man" interested in a 14 year old has issues.  You'll be old enough for men someday.  In the meantime, enjoy being a kid, explore interests OTHER THAN boys, and have a good time hanging out with your female friends (chances are they'll be around a lot longer than any boyfriend you'd have at this age, anyway).


I'm in BC which is raining like hell again this morning.

Good morning from Burlington, Ontario.  It's dry but overcast and 23C.
