Thanks to whoever answers this. I have had had a bump on my lower left part of my sternum since i was small (i am 14 now) and it has been growing. The bump spreads to an area similar to that of a lemon. it is like .5 inches high and very hard (its made of bone). Now you can see it even when i clothes on. The doctor took xrays and said it was nothing but i dont beleive him. Does anyone know what it is? thanks..

you have a lump the size of a lemon and you're asking here what to do?\n\nGet to a Dr whom you trust.  Second opinions are not for nothing!\n\nIf your parents are not terribly concerned, but you are, see your school nurse and let her help you decide what to do.\n\nBest wishes.

Look up the simple machines first - there are six simple machines. Complex machines are machines that incorporate more than one simple machine. Once you see the types of simple machines that there are you can see how they fit into a hair straightener.

Well...there's so many good ones...Lynrd Skynrd, Greatful Dead, all old skool of course. Some of the more mordern bands Metallica, old GNR, Pantera (RIPP DDA)...etc. Just too many to choose from...


She has been in the hospital for about a week with no answers.They have not performed an autopsy which really confuses me.They do have her on antibiotics.Just trying to find out what is really going on.She has a problem with lying but she has been a friend for a long time.We as friends need to know if it is serious or just happens to be cysts that can be taking care of by antibiotics and she is making more of it than it is for the sympathy part of it.If you knew her you would know what I meant.we have accepted her for who she is but we are worried about her and need to know.Is it possible a std is the cause of the cyst.

Okay I am 22 years old, I weigh between 156-160 lbs, and I am 5'5, most of my weight is held in my butt, so of course most latin or black guys don't think I"m fat.  But by the way I am describing do I sound fat?  My boyfriend doesn't want me to lose my butt but I started going to the gym about 1 month ago and don't really feel much change, I think I may need to diet also, because I was to lose about 30 lbs.  Is there any diet plan suggestions or any suggestions for losing the weight?  I don't want to lose all 30 lbs in a month but June 5th my boyfriend and his family are going on vacation and I want to feel comfortable in a bathing suit, I want to have lost at least about 10-15 lbs by then.

The BMI range of weight for your height is 135-150 lbs.  You are very close to what is considered a normal and healthy weight, so don't over do it.  You are not fat.  Don't try to lose 30 pounds, you'll be dangerously thin.  Shoot for 10, fine, but stop there, and do it by exercising and eating a balanced healthy diet.  That way, you'll keep it off.\n\nBest to you.

He only seems to be able to project the most obvious picks within reason. I think he's a joke. I'm saying that I can do better, but I've seen better draft predictors and analyzers than him elsewhere.

He was one of the first media personnel to really study the NFL Draft, back in 1979 when he first did his work, no one really studied the draft, he did a good job with it when he was a kid out of college and then his scouting reports became more popular as his information was correct and teams actually paid for his info on college prospects, I believe he was even hired by the Baltimore Colts.  A few years later he was hired by ESPN.  He was the first expert of the NFL draft and he's been doing it the longest.  Some people have their specialty and when ESPN isn't focused on the draft Mel spends the rest of the year scouting talent and studying prospects. So that's why he's the Draft Expert.


You see, there is a woman at the office with whom I would really like to have a romance with. We have a good time when we are together and so far we're good friends, but I've never told her that I would like to be more than just a friend. I fear that she might not take me seriously or that she might not be interested in me as a boyfriend. That would be very disappointing amd I might never want to see her anymore.\n\nThank you.

The fear of rejection is tough.....but how will you ever know if you dont try....she might be thinking the same things and if you dont take a chance you will never know. Which would be better......to never know? or to try and find out that she is totally crazy for you? Even if she isnt im sure you could still be friends........but i say that it doesnt hurt to try, just get brave! Good Luck!

Ultrasonics appears to be a possible way. You can also check on www  GlobalSpec.com  , lots of stuff there.\nI forgot ! Eddy-current testing has been used for many years in non-destructive testing of non-ferrous metals.A probe with an alternating current of a frequency decided by the skin-depth of penetration can be used to measure impedance change near a crack etc. Alternately a dc current could be applied via a probe and possibly use a Hall plate sensor to detect field distortions. The subject is very interesting and there is much relevant work to be done.\nNow in the case of non-metallic materials, we can consider a capacitance measuring device; there must have been work done on this method.

This 50ish old man came thru my line today and tried to hit on me. In response I just stood there. I prayed that the Lord would get this sicko out of my line. What would you have done?

I would ask him to wait one moment and then I would immediately seek my supervisor and ask him to repeat what he said. He probably wouldn't, but I don't think he would bother you again make an effort to come through your line.  I would do that each time he did come through.  If he did a second time, I would stop, grab the closest thing to write on, ask him to sign it and put his phone number on it and report it to the police.  It is sexual harrassment and he maybe stalking you, a pedophile, or a wanted sexual criminal.  By being intimidated by him, you allow him to be in control of the situation.  If you firmly approach him, then he is most likely to stand back.

I need to know how much of our tax dollars are spent on the United States Space Program. I'm having some trouble finding it and would really appretiate help (links and sources would be nice). Thanks!

NASA's 2006 budget is in excess of $16 billion. The agency says it understands its fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayer. But by any standard, the space program is wasting many, many millions of dollars. \n\nAnd now, it has its eye on returning to the Moon and a manned mission to Mars. Schatz says that shouldn't be the focus. "Let's just get NASA in shape to do what it's doing now as opposed to expanding its mission into something that's far larger than anything they've done before


Remember going to a couple of cool sites a few years ago but can't remember the name. You could watch people, sunsets, everything...there were thousands of links-like a webcam universe. Any ideas what sites offer this? Thanks


Wanted  to  know which is the best ELSI (Equity linked insurance) schema now in indian market?

It depends on your profile and requirement from the scheme. One good scheme cannot be best for every one. \n\nBefore selecting your plan take care of few things:\nPast performance of the funds of the plan.\nCharges in the plan. Compare and understand the charges as some time there are many hidden charges. \n\nLook if the features of the plan meet your requirements. \nConsult with good professional Financial Consultant before investing. \nResearch in satisfactory manner before investing. \nAfter all it’s your money. \n\nYou can contact me from my profile for further assistance.

LIke we get mad 4 things like minor things like y u aint call me

If you are arguing this badly, you need some help. Who is starting the arguments you or her? If its her maybe she is really insecure, or isn't happy. If its you, are you happy? If you really do love her, and want to make it work, i would get in touch with relate, and talk to someone. You can do this either on your own or together. If you do it on your own she may not be happy and see it as a betrayal. If you want to do it together, talk to her about it, cos she may feel uncomfortable about it. Good luck!


how to retract a false statement to the police

You cannot retract a false statement if you knew that it was false when you gave it. It can/will be used against you. \n\nIf you did not know it was false, and found out at a later time, tell them. They will thank you.


Every day at 3pm 25-50 illegal immigrants cash their paychecks at 2 local gas stations that don't require an I.D.  It happens all over this city, but I know for sure about 2 specific stores.  How can I get Immigration to enforce the laws and deport the non-tax paying freeloaders?  Can the IRS get involved?  I mean it is a law, how to I get someone to enforce it?  One of the law abiding stores, a block from my house, very owner told me that she has turn away at least 20-30 illegals trying to buy beer with a Mexican I.D., and they get mean in retribution.  It isn't her fault that they don't have the papers to get an american license.  The same bastards that have slashed her tires, are usually taking off behind the wheel of legal vehicle.  But I wonder, can you drive in America with a Mexican license?  If so, are the driving regulations the same?  Because so many of them are fond of drinking some cold modelo's driving home from work, do they even know it's illegal, or do they care less?

I like Skaterboiz answer!  TV is always looking for a good juicy story. I would also contact INS, the local law enforcement, the mayor, the newspaper, your State Representative, your State Senator, your congressman, etc. Basically, I would tell everyone in the entire world and then keep telling them until something is done.\n\nRe the drivers license.  They are here illegally, so I doubt that they even care about the legality of a Mexican license and driving here.\n\nGood luck.  It sucks, but we need to stand strong and keep talking to get our country back!

when did u start to play tennis and what is your fave thing about it??

I started playing a little bit around fifth grade, but this year I'm taking the class in high school and I'm on the school team. It's really fun and rewarding... Ever since I started playing more this year, I've gotten a lot more excercise and made a lot more friends! I especially like how it's not a contact sport. And you can play singles or doubles. I like doubles, but only if I like my doubles partner :)

On a recent Oprah show, the guest doctor pointed out that belly fat correlates to an unhealthy heart.  I've also heard it is the result of stress.  Are there factors in the distribution of fat...or am I just hopeless?


I live in Indiana and I have had this child since he came home from the hospital 15 months ago. His mother does not want him and she did sign a document to give me custody however I am told that I need an attorney to make it really official. I do not have the money to do this right now. If anyone knows of the exact documents I need to file or a probono attorney... that would be great! I am trying to move to Nashville, TN in the next few months so I need to take care of it as soon as possible.\nThanks

Most cities have some sort of legal aid kind of place for poor people.  Contact a social welfare office and see if you can get a referral.  Good luck!

THERE R MILLIONS OF GALAXIES AND TRILLIONS OF SOLAR SYSTEMS, ARE WE REALLY ALONE..DO WE HAVE ANY CONCRETE EVIDENCE?

Chances are, yes.\n\n90% of all solar systems are not in a circle so they can not support life.  Of the 10% that are left what are the odds that another planet is moving around a sun where it's not to hot or too cold. Even in our own little solar system there is only one.\n\nSo, if there is life elsewhere, we will never meet them.

i have a smell coming from down below but i dont have a yeast infection or any stds so what could it be?

The smell can change as you enter different points in your ovulation cycle. However, if you have been wearing tight clothing or thong-style underwear - this may be the problem - especially if you have been in the heat or exercising. The type of material might also be a cause, loose cottons are best, other materials can sometimes cause this problem. If i were you, I would just shower, chnage into looser clothing and see if you still have this problem after some time has passed. If it still bothers you, consider a cleansing towel or douching.


I had a problem with my husband. he's being responsible to our needs.  he wants to stay more on our house than having a job.  until if i met a man whose responsible but unfortunately he is also married. we become friends but in the eyes of everybody that's wrong and sinful.  what shall i do?

It is wrong not only in people eyes but Gods, so stay with the man your married or get out. You asked what you shall do well you have your options and no more than that. Cheating hurts more people than you realize...K

Here's one for all the solicitors in here: my sister is a chef in the RAF but has been out of action for a year due to a recurring problem with her left knee. She had a sporting accident which left her knee open and it got infected. She went to her hospital for what was to be a "routine clean up" operation and as a result her knee has gotten worse and worse ever since. She's spent the best part of the last year in hospital sometimes for weeks at a time. She went for a meeting/update today with her boss and was told that basically if another person applied for her position at work, they's be able to replace her, even though she's followed all the correct procedures for sickness, abscence from work etc. She informs her boss whenever he needs an update, sometimes daily, depending on hospital/doctors appointments. He hinted today that she could actually sue the hospital that's f**ked her condition up. She's looked into claims etc, but I just thought I'd ask for some info on her behalf.

As far as her job goes FMLA(Family Medical Leave Act) allows her job to be protected.  Her doctors will have to complete the paperwork for her and it will secure her job for a year.  This is a federal law.


i've recently been diagnosed with OCD, but have been suffering from it and depression for many years. i am seeing a therapist, and am going to see a someone about meds soon. i've been going to this therapist for a couple months now, most of that time was to get a diagnosis. now, for the last couple visits, we've really just talked about the same things, and she just gives me the same suggestions, even though i tell her that i've already tried them and they don't work. she's a good therapist, i'm making it sound like she isn't, but she really is, but i feel like i'm not getting better soon enough, and i'm in school, so if i don't start to improve soon, i may fail some classes. our sessions have mostly focused on school work, but should i be talking about something else instead? is this a normal pace for diagnosis and treatment? i thought it was pretty obvious the first day what was wrong, but it took over a month or two for the diagnosis. any suggestions for ways to relieve symptoms?

I've been there.  I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder yet, but I do have trichtotillamania.  Trichtotillamania is very similar to OCD because the thoughts are repetitive.  Whenever I get stressed out, I HAVE TO pluck my hairs.  I am very obsessive about germs and counting, avoiding different things, eating an even number of M&M's or chips....making the table look perfectly even...doing things over and over.  I SHOULD be diagnosed, but it is not so much of a problem since it does not interfere with work or school.  Here's what I would recommend....since most people don't understand how the disorder works....\nObviously, try not to think about things, and if you do start thinking about doing something compulsive then you should focus on that and ONLY that, and do it.  It sounds like you aren't suffering from it as much as others that suffer from our problem.  Your treatment should take care of it, and, yes, it is normal for your therapist to be taking her time.\nAs far as depression goes, I was also diagnosed with manic depression.  My birthmother has bipolar disorder.  I'm not going into the differences.  However, I can tell you that Effexor XR helped me.  It may not help you because it depends on the meds they do put you on.  I had to counter the nervous effects of the antidepressant Effexor, with the anti-seizure medicine Neurontin.  So....let your psychiatrist decide what is best for you.  Do not stop taking your pills and tell your therapist if you feel any different.  Keeping a journal will help you keep track.  I hope this helps.  Good luck!


Why is so freaking cold in airplanes...that i need to wear the snow jacket? And how come i see some people wearing shorts and drinking iced drinks? While others like me wear jackets and blankets? and why do they have tiny size windows? maybe they cud have bigger windows?

Sit in an isle seat it is less drafty. small windows are stronger than big windows. At altitude the cabin is pressured and the windows need to be strong.


Justin a guy a like and he likes me but he said he had to "think" about going out with me.....think about what?\n\nHe said that he was scared to get into a relationship when we first met because he keeps on getting hurt, he is 18

well there is your answer, sometimes guys are afraid of getting hurt, so they distance themselves from women to find out if she's a heartbreaker.


my doctor said i might have type B, i pee 20+ times a day, i maintain my weight of 130 lbs and is almost impossible to gain any more, my fasting blood sugar was 87 and after meal with 2 hours was 89, i am constantly tired and easily angered\nwhat do u think ?

Very likely you have diabetes insipidus. This diabetes has nothing to do with insulin and our pancrease. This is caused by ADH deficiency or your kidney is not responding to the hormone.\n\nIf your urine is cloudy, then there might be infection of your urinary tract. Besides, Hypercalcaemia and hypokalaemia can also increase urine volume.\n\nConsult your doctor if you still have any doubt.


i have felt nothing but alone and pissed off for the past few weeks and i can't stop thinking about how they hurt me, how can i forget them and get on with my life?

find some new friends that you get along very well.if you have older friend ( not old but people that you know for longer time) keep hanging out with them.it happened to me too and I found better friends and one day the other girls called and said they were sorry and they said that they envied me for having better and more friends,and they said they missed me.i stick with the better girls of course:)

Call your local Catholic Church and ask for help.  Each year a Catholic Directory is published which lists all the clergy, diocese, and parishes around the world.  If your local Catholic Church subscribes to this publication, they should be able to look it up!  Keep searching till you find a church that can help!


Can that attitude ever be truly Christian? Are these people convinced that they are Gods appointed Judge? Or do you think Christians KNOW who is going to hell? tell me what you think?

It is written, judge not lest you be judged. I will never say a person is condemned to hell, for we never know what God is doing in another persons life to bring them to savlation. I will on the other hand try to point out through  scripture that the direction, one is taking will lead them to hell, they always have opportunity to change their life.

This week i got a FIFTEEN!!!!! on my math test, it was like 6 questions and more than half of the class failed and its an honors class. I usually get like 90s my parents r gonna kill meeeee....... HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

I would be upfront with your parents and show them the paper.  Then I would discuss why you didn't do as well as usual.  Did you understand the content?  Do you need to get some extra help from the teacher?  Your parents will appreciate you coming to them, rather than trying to hide it from them.  Also, if half the class failed, it is apparent you were not the only student who had trouble.  I would ask your teacher about going over the work again.


How much can i sell my lawn service company for? I have 50 accounts and all the equipment. I live in sacramento ca, I dont know how much accouts are going for?

Not sure what a lawn care biz goes for. You should ask the pros at lawnafe.com. Maybe you could find someone that will buy your accounts and you can split up the equipment. They even have a lawn care and landscape equipment for sale forum that you can post for free. I saw several ads there where they were selling their entire buiness but offered to break it up, including the accounts.


I believe this may be the greatest job in sports... but how much does it pay

around $500,000/year, they are usually someone who knows the game inside and out, or maybe has pitching background, they are used as a coach, to find whats wrong with pitchers when they are warming up! They are very important people!

Sadly I've just about had enough of teaching. I am fed up with the abuse, thanklessness, rudeness and threats I have to put up with on a daily basis. I f anyone could tell me about their experience of leaving teaching and what they are doing now and how they got their I would be most grateful. Btw I am in Ireland but would love to hear stories from anyone in any country.

I'm in North Carolina, United States.  I am 38 years old.  In 2004, I got blisters on my feet from participating with my class in the annual field day.  The blisters got all infected and resulted in an amputation and a really nasty blood infection which zapped my kidneys.  I've been on dialysis ever since.\n\nI tried to teach while on dialysis, but I just didn't have the stamina to keep up with 19 first graders.  I love them dearly and I want them to have the best.  So, I've gone on medical leave and will resign at the end of the year.  It's so sad because I loved it and I was very, very successful.\n\nWhat am I doing now?  I'm going to school to become a Certified Internet Web Designer. I think I might design some educational sites for children.


Miami was once a perenial powerhouse but now teams like USC, LSU, Michigan, and Texas and other more physical teams make these loudmouth braggots lke Miami and FSU eat their words.

i vastly enjoyed the hurricane beat down. my one buddy is a huge cane fan for no reason other then he is a bandwagon fan. so soon i will have to hate Texas. But yes canes are no longer the team they where teams are more physical then they are and they cant handle the heat. Finally the Miami bias is over just because you are fast doesn't make you an athlete


would welcome to be linked to sites where i can get the info

Tubular Drag conveyors are used to convey a wide range of powders and bulk solids in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and wastewater treatment industries. They are an excellent choice for dependable 24/7 operations which require low segregation and/or degradation; complete enclosure for dust control; the handling of high moisture content materials, difficult to handle abrasive materials or ones which may tend to pack / smear; and in situations which may require multiple inlets and/or outlets. They are extremely flexible in plant layouts and integrate well with existing equipment. Bulk materials are conveyed between the sealed-pin chain flights, at virtually any angle, for distances of up to 85 feet vertically, and more than 200 feet horizontally, depending on material bulk densities and required capacity. Flights can be specified in a choice of several materials (depending upon the application) and are easily replaceable. Models ranges in size from 3-inch diameter up to 12-inch with pipe construction of schedule 10, 40, 80, or Abrasion Resistant Lining. Capacities can reach up to 60 cubic feet per minute, with a maximum conveyor speed of 185 feet per minute, for straight run configurations.

Hi I'm new and is this a good place to have fun, or are there a bunch of people who get mad all the time or just act goofy ?

Hi, there are some real abusive and inconsiderate people on this site, but then there are plenty (like me) that never say anything mean or try to hurt someones feelings, and call them idiots or stupid.  Try is for awhile it will be fun.  Good Luck, I hope you stay and play.


my 15 year old daughter is having one done and i would like to know what happens during the procedure, if she is going to be completely nude, and what she should wear after?

A VCUG is usually done for recurrent UTIs.  The patient will be asked to undress from the waist down (pants and panties), and be given a gown.  She will be asked to empty her bladder in the bathroom.  Usually, a preliminary x-ray image will be taken.  The only way to see the bladder and uterers (the tubes that connect the bladder to the kidney) with x-ray is to introduce a contrast or dye.  In order to do that, the patient must be catheterized.  The radiologic technologist or possibly a nurse will do this part of the study.  Your daughter will be laying on her back, with her knees bent and spread apart.  The tech/nurse will clean the outside of the genitilia with a betadine soap and insert a small tube through the urethra to the bladder.  This can be very uncomfortable as the tube is passed through the urethra, but once the tube is in place, your daughter will not know it is there.  It is important that she try to relax her muscles as the tube is introduced.  Tight muscles will make the insertion harder and it will take longer, meaning it will prolong the uncomfortable feeling.  Once the tube is in place, the legs are straightened and her gown or even a blanket will be put over her, so that she is not exposed.  At that point, the radiologist will enter the room.  While watching in real time on a TV screen, the radiologist will start allowing the contrast to fill the bladder, via the catheter.  Your daughter will probably be able to see this as well.  Eventually, her bladder will start telling her brain that she needs to urinate.  We want the bladder to get fairly full.  They are looking to make sure the valves at the UPJ (ureteropelvic junction-where the ureters enter the bladder) are competent.  They should not open and allow fluid from the bladder to enter the ureters.  Once your daughter feels full, she will be asked to pee on the x-ray table.  They will put towels between her legs, and she will be covered.  Peeing on the table is important, because sometimes with the pressure, the urine will leave the bladder and enter the ureter.  IF a patient cannot pee on the table (and some cannot for modesty issues), we will take out the catheter tube and have her pee in the toilet in private.  After emptying the bladder, she will be asked to hustle back to the x-ray table for a picture to make sure there is no contrast in the ureters.    There really is no side effects post procedure.  She will not leak contrast or have pain.  So whatever she wants to wear is fine.  The worst part of this study is the embarassment of the catheterization.  And as long as you are not pregnant, you should be allowed to wear a leaded apron and stay in the room with her, if she wishes.\n\nAnother good idea:  When they catheterize your daughter, you can get a "clean catch" of urine.  Make sure they give you some of this clean catch for testing.  When you urinate into a cup, it is possible for contamination from the labia etc.  A clean catch is just urine, and nothing else.  Our pediatric group in town always wants the parent to bring a clean catch to them so they can test it for bacteria.  Find out if this is something they want you to do before the procedure begins.  It may save your daughter from having to be catheterized for a clean catch later on.


Finalist were National Teams from South America whose countries have similar national flags.

I bet the guy asking this question is an uruguayan, and he knows the answer. But we wants for everybody to remember that Uruguay won the cup that year. And I don't blame him, it is 56  year since they won the last time. And it will be at least 60, because  they aren't in this one.

Hey all you guys should really watch this t.v show its about this balck and white family who live in the same house and experience racism. Anyways it's called Black.White and it  comes on sunday @ 9:00pm on Suntv. It's really good.

That show sucks, it's nothing I haven't already seen in real life.


They are someones Mother, Father, Daughter, Son, Wife, Husband, Brother, Sister, etc.....

Yes, I support the troops, I used to be one. Blaming soldiers for going where the elected leaders send them is ridiculous. Blaming the Soldiers is the easy way out, if someone disapproves of what the soldiers are doing they should address the issue with their elected leaders, that’s the way this country works.


Who wins in a battle between Nagraj and Dhruva. In case you don't know these superheros, here are the Wikipedia links-\n\nNagraj [The Snakeman]\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagraj_%28comics%29\n\nSuper Commando Dhruva [The extremely intelligent teenager]\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Commando_Dhruva_%28comics%29\n\nWho wins this battle? Please answer.

Lol. It is so nice to hear about them after such a long while. I felt a lil' nostalgic as well.Well RAJ COMICS under whose license these superheroes are would never allow either of them to win. Dhruva has the brains and Nagaraj the better known of the two of them has the brawn. So they stand an equal chance.\n\n However my personal favourite remains Dhruva. Is Chandika still there. Lol.

I'm considering applying, and I'd like to know what it's students are like and how they feel about the school. Is it easy to meet people? Are people friendly? Are they snooty or superficial? What is the city like? How are the professors/classes?

One of my very best friends got a degree in University Of Washington and he really enjoyed it!  The people are friendly and Seattle is a great place for outdoor and also cultural things.  I have been to Seattle many times and it is a wonderful place, you may want to check it out before you apply!  As for the classes and professors, well there are surely good and bad ones!  Good Luck!


i mean he's a giant tree that stands in the center of the key.\nhe reminds me of a guy in school

Absolutely right. He already has not play for more than 15 games for the season and has several surgeries. Plus he is close to 40.


I'm not being creationist, but I was thinking the other day about how we came to be. If we evolved from monkeys and we share 99% of our genes with apes (I think), then how is it we evolved into humans and they got 'stuck' as monkeys?!

Sorry to be picky, but we didn't evolve from monkeys, we evolved from apes!\n\nModern monkeys aren't the same as our and their common ancestors, they have evolved too! They've just changed in different ways to adapt to their environment. Evolution has made them very well adapted to living in trees, e.g. long prehensile tails and both "hands" and "feet" that can grip. Note that humans don't have these marvellous adaptations!\n\nWe got bigger brains, tool-making and language skills, and the ability to walk upright, which enabled us to thrive in environments that monkeys would struggle to survive in. But you try living in a tree and eating bananas all day and see how well adapted you are to that! Evolution has just treated us differently, that's all.


just bought my webcam.then i restored the system.now i can't use my web cam.it displays the msg error:80040275:cannot add vidcap to filtergraph.what should i do?i uninstalled it and installed it again but nothing happens.

The system restore could possibly have restored your system to a point prior to installation of the webcam. Try the following:\nPower down your pc.\nUnplug the webcam.\nReboot\nUninstall the webcam software and drivers, and if you know where it's folder is, delete that too.\nReboot\nReinstall the webcam's software and drivers, but don't connect the webcam untill it tells you to. (You may have to reboot again before you plug in the webcam)\n\nHopefully, this will work - if not, then yes, take the cam back and get a new one!


Irish citizens have the right to live and work in more than 20 European countries .\n\nAdditionally , Ireland is in good economic condition .

There is a very close affinity between Ireland and the US, caused from decades of emigration across the Atlantic. Many Irish families have relatives living in the US, so the option has always been there for young people to emigrate even if there was work in Ireland for them. For a lot of Irish, moving to America is a lot easier than moving to Germany due to these strong family and friendship connections, and because of a shared language and somewhat similar cultures. \n\nI guess also that if someone has been living in the US for 10 years they would have broken many of their connections with Ireland, while building up much stronger connections (jobs, friends, families, lifestyles, business) in America. Therefore it would be difficult to leave America for a variety of reasons. \n\nEven in the Ireland of today, it would still be relatively difficult to get a job if you have no skills and a poor education. Some people might also leave Ireland because of bad family situations - we're a small island after all.


i have no idea!!!!!!!search it on google!!!!


We want to raise money for my best friend, who's husband died suddenly last week. We want enough money for a new roof on her farm house, and then some.

Wow...great idea sweety but it is alot of hard work, first of all you need to find *donations* within your community, such as business, tell them it is for a benefit. They can donate gift certificates, cash etc...etc..These will be donated at the poker run as door prizes you sell tickets for these the day of the run.You set a time for the poker run and the route , you must also have atleast 2 dead riders with trailers, these are usually 2 pickup trucks with a trailer and tools, and someone who is a lil mechaniclly inclined to pick up bike riders who have broke down and follow the bikers all the way. You have too designate 4 stops (usually bars) where you made arrangements with the owners to punch each bikers envelope with a certain hole punch, before continuing to the next stop.We usually began our yearly toy and poker run at 7a.m. til 2 a.m .The poker run leaving at 10:30a.m on a 100 mile round trip, but while the riders are gone on the poker run there was games and tattoo artist, back at the place it is held. Posters were placed 2 weeks prior the event, and you need to get ahold of venders such as hot dog stands , nacho stands, crafts, anything you want and they in turn donate a percentage of the sales to you.


I wonder. I have read a few articles about him, and I am experiencing ambivalence about the nature of his character. He appears, on the outside looking in, to be a benevolent philanthropist. He was given accolades, alongside Bill and Melinda Gates, for his charity work recently. But I have heard people say that the lyrics of U2's music are not really about love- but about something else utterly. I was specifically talking about "In the name of Love"- I thought, of course, that it was, in one modicum, talking about Jesus Christ. But was it talking about Satan? I now wonder- being that Bono is from Ireland, correct...is this part of Europe? Sorry for such an obtuse question...but the antichrist is supposed to (in all likelihood) be from Europe...although some people say he may be from Israel, possibly. Is Bono the antichrist? Please don't be offended- it's only a hypothetical question. I like u2's music...but I am feeling strangely about these very unique aspects. Please do share!

The way I understand ancient geography, the antichrist will probably come from central Europe, like from one of the former Soviet states. Also, he will most likely be a politician, and will need to be much more charismatic than Bono if he is to fool the entire world as the Bible says he will. I don't particularly care for Bono, but I don't believe you need to worry that he is the antichrist.


I'll put my age in the best answer comments. Thanks

Back in the old days, we did this using chalk rocks writing on the cave walls.  Then gradually as time passed we started using ink and feathers, then pencils, and then typewriters, and then finally someone invented the computer.. THANK YOU!!\n\nOk, so I'm not that old, I'm 46.\n\nI have clients ranging from under 10 to over 90, and it's very common for us to sell a "first" computer to someone in their 60's and 70's.\n\nSo, as long as you're breathing.. you're young enough..


I have spent 3 weeks answering and questioning on this site.The majority of the questions and answers are futile and very badly writen.It's not even fun. No self irony, no sardonic quips,totally without humour. Even those attempting to address issues do so with "god"to back them up.No free thought at all. No, Goodbye Yahoo with your censorship. MSN is calling.

If you're still on the site, and will even read responses to your "question", know that you're going to find ignorance and inane commentary on every site, blog, or message board you visit. Human nature online is not much different that what you experience in daily life.\n\nIt's ok to be contemptous of ignorance; it almost impossible to run away from it.


So, which one is better? For guys, at least.

Moisturizing lotion. I've never known a guy who used gel.


Planning to study Master in US, I need to find out if my degree meets the minimum requirement for admission. Thanks.

It depends.  Many programs from Australia or the UK do transfer, however it depends whether ur school is accredited or not or whether the classes u took meet the requirements of the university u wish to study at.  3 years is a very short time to study, but if u took the appropriate number of classes, then i shouldnt be a problem, it all depends on the particular university and their degree program requirements.  GOOD LUCK!

You will build a power plant that meets the following criteria: starts with a primary energy source (hydropower,windpower) You may not use any other sources of electricities like batteries. The source should spin a turbine. The turbine must be attached to a generator that YOU MADE! You may not use a store bought generator. The generator should be attached to a small light bulb. The power plant must be stable and well made and work safely.

Look up "alternators" on science project websites. Proper alternators use carbon brushes to connect a spinning coil inside a half cylindrial magnet. For a science project, the easiest apparatus is just a bar magnet spinning inside a fixed coil. The magnet spins, and produces alternative current in the coil. Use a diode to convert the AC into DC.

i cant speak for others but one thing for sure i am not cool or sophiscicated. what goes into the mind of certain american parent in accepting these asianess personality.

Please don't mis-interpret this answer, I am not being a homophobe or anything!! To be honest, I think from your boyfriends parents point of view, your sexuality will over-ride any issues of race. For example, if they are fairly close minded and prejudiced, then they won't accept you on the grounds that you are gay, your race won't come into it. Similarly, if they do welcome you, this means that are open-minded people who won't have an issue with your race since they didn't have a problem with your sexuality. So in short, no I dont think it is harder for non-caucasions, but I imagine it is equally hard for all gay men

Each time i have restored with cd's or partition, it tells me Windows will now start and then starts loading programs like OOBE and MANUEL_MODEM. I think it loads from something which has a small amount of ram like boot or bios chip. Even the graphics card makes me wonder. E Machine sent me a new hard drive to install. It had nothing hooked up except keyboard and mouse. It froze right after the time zone was set and I had barely typed my name ect. for registration. Please help! i'm going crazy. "#

Since it is an Emachine under warranty apparently you will just have to deal with the hassle of them sending you part by part. Next it will be a new motherboard, then new RAM, power supply... Companies like that don't really troublshoot, they just have you rebuild the computer until something works - at least thats what Dell usually does.

So... You have to change the mixed numbers into terms where you can add them.\n\nFirst you make sure the fractions have a common denominator. (Which is fourty-two) \n\nSo 6646 6/7 would be 6646 36/42 \n(If the denominator, 7, is turned into 42, it means it was multiplied by 6...So the numerator, 6, also has to be multiplied by 6)\n\n355 5/6= 355 35/42 (the same process)\n\nAt the end you have 6646 36/42 and 355 35/42.\nSo when you add them together it equals to 7001 71/42...then you simplify that into a mixed number.\n\n(Which is 7002 29/42)


I have a building with 240V, 3 phase, 200amp service now.  I am wanting to change in to 480V, 3 phase, 200amp.  What will I need to do this (my equipment uses 208V, and 480V power) I want to also use the same breaker panels I have been using for my single phase (they are wired through the 240V, 3 phase boxes).

First of all, you cannot turn a 240 V, 200 A service into a 480 V, 200 A service with a simple 3 phase transformer. In a transformer, power out (roughly) equals power in. If you put 83 kW in, you can't get 166 kW out. You will have your electric company run a new 480 V service for you. From "your side" of the service, you will have to have a licensed, qualified electrician make sure that all breakers, wiring, fuses, and other components are rated for 600 volts, so you may not be able to use your existing breaker box, or even the wire feeding it. All of your existing wire to motors and other 240 / 480 VAC devices should be of ample ampacity, as a motor draws half of the current at 480 than at 240, but again, it may be wired with 300 V wire that does not have insulation rated for 480 V circuits. Another investment would likely be a step-down transformer for your electrical outlets. You won't be able to go phase to neutral anymore, as that would get you 277 VAC (in a 4-wire Y system). Make sure that your qualified electrician complies with all local codes, as well as the NEC. Good luck!


then how can god punish us if we do bad stuff?it is indirectly god who is responsible!\n\nwhy did he ceate the world anyway?\n\nhow did he come?from where?\n\ni'm just tryingg to prove present theory of god wrong. please argue.

1) Ok, as to the answer of “God creating evil / bad” here is a story recounted by one of the users on yahoo answers. Unfortunately, I don’t know her Id, so I can not give her due credit for this wonderful story. I had loved it so much that I printed it out and pasted it in my notebook. With my apologies to the writer, here it is (abbreviated, since I had to type it and it’s long):\nThe university professor challenged his students with this question:\n“Did God create everything that exists?”\nA student bravely replied, “Yes, he did.”\n“If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil.”\nThe professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted that he had proven once more that religion was a myth. \nAnother student raised his hand and said, “Professor, does cold exist?”\nThe professor replied: “Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?”\n“In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.”\nThe student continued: “Professor, does darkness exist?”\n“Of course.”\n“Once again you are wrong sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light, you can study, but not darkness. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn’t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.”\nFinally, the young man said: “Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God, just like darkness and cold; a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.”\nThe professor sat down.\n\n2) In relation to God punishing us for doing bad things…he does not. He knows that we will make mistakes; the problem is not when we do bad things…the problem is when we don’t REPENT. Repentance is in actuality, you learning from your mistakes and GETTING BETTER. In this life, we do wrong and receive the wrongs of others and through the two; we learn, understand, hopefully become compassionate and move on as better people. Those who get worse are not those who do the MOST wrongs; they are those who are blind and ignorant of that fact and so they never repent…they never LEARN…they never evolve…they never get better! In Islam for example, as long as you repent, God tells you to be ASSURED that you will be granted mercy every single time! God NEVER refuses repentance, no matter how many times you do the wrong and no matter how many times you return over and over to the same wrong as long as when you repent, it comes from the heart…because He knows that it is through it we know His mercy and learn to be tolerant and merciful ourselves with others; for we are ALL fallible by nature. \n\n3) As to the question of ‘why did he create the world’? Usually, but not always of course, those who think that the world is a horrible place are the ones who ask that. The worst things that happen to us or are committed by us to others are all in themselves opportunities in reality either to give us or others the chance to learn and be better…and that applies to the hardest and the worst of scenarios and obstacles. How many times have we heard someone say: ‘getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me’ when in reality at the time of that occurrence, that person was utterly devastated. ONLY those who wake up from the initial shock of the ‘bad’ occurrence in their lives and make the willful dec


You should look up the numbers.  Off the top of my head, I think nylon is used for ropes because it has good tensile strength.


what is the significance of the best-fit line being straight?\nand should it go through the origin

The most important reason for the best-fit line being straight is that you can find the slope of the line very easily.  Depending on what you are graphing, the slope can be very significant.  For example, if you plot distance vs. time, the slope is the velocity.  If you plot velocity vs. time, the slope is the acceleration.  In general, the slope will tell you the rate at which the responding variable is changing, which is almost always important.  In fact, this is very often the reason for making the graph in the first place, and at the very least provides an important tool to analyse experimental data.


I am 17. I am in the IB program (college prep kinda like AP). I am graduating this year and going to a State University ( im not saying where, you stalkers). However, my GPA is only 4.62  so anyways.... What the hell is 2 + 2 * 2?

hey dude...look at Paden T...how funny is that sh*t!!!\n\nso many answers...I'll go with 8.


Question:\n\n5*x^2+y^2-4*x*y-8*x+2*y+5=0\nFind the value of y\n\na)2\nb)3\nc)0\nd)1\n\ncan you please tell , how do i solve it ?\nI know the solution, because the solution is in my book. finally the above equation has been made into \n(x-2)^2+(2*x-y-1)^2=0 =>y=3\n\nBut i am not satisfied with this solution. because the book did not explain anything about it.\n\nFor example, \nwhy do i make this equation into that form ?\ndoes that equation looks like an equation of circle ?\n\nsuppose, tomorrow , i got some other equan. do i have to make that into squared pattern also ?\n\ni a feeling uncomfortable with these knd of questions.\n\ncan anybody tell me the steps to attack such a problem step by steps ?\n\nwhat are the diagonastic checks and what are the medicines ?\n\nregards

Here is how I would approach the problem:\n\nTake the equation and put it in the form of a quadratic with X as the variable:\n\n5*x^2 + y^2 - 4*xy - 8*x + 2*y + 5 = 0\n\n5*x^2 + (-4*y - 8)x + (y^2 + 2*y + 5) = 0\n\nThen for the form ax^2 + bx + c\n\na= 5\n\nb= -(4*y + 8)\n\nc= y^2 + 2*y + 5\n\nThe solution x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c))/ 2*a\n\nrequires for all REAL values (not imaginary),\n\nthat b^2 - 4*a*c >= 0\n\n    >= greater than or equal to\n\nsubstituting from above\n\n-(4*y + 8)^2 - 4*5*(y^2 + 2*y + 5) >= 0\n\n16*y^2 + 64*y + 64) - (20*y^2 - 40*y - 100) >= 0\n\n-4*y^2 + 24*y - 36 >= 0\n\ny^2 - 6*y + 9 <= 0\n\n(y - 3)^2 <= 0\n\nSince a square term will always be positive, and cannot be less than 0,\n\nThe only viable solution is\n\n(y - 3) = 0,\n\nand y = 3  \n\nThe substituting for y in the original equation\n\n5*x^2 - 20*x + 20 = 0\n\nx^2 - 4*x + 4 = 0\n\n(x-2)^2 = 0\n\nx -2 = 0\n\nx = 2\n\n\nTry using the quadratic equation to eliminate unacceptable answers.\n\nPatience and perseverence! I honestly didn't know for sure when I started that I would reach a concrete solution this way, but I had to start, and continue until i hit a roadblock or I finished. Today I got lucky, and you can too.


I get:\nL. Berkman\nJ. Santana\nI give:\nT. Iguchi\nC. Capuano\nB. Bonds\nO. Vizquel

YES!  Do it!  Iguchi is streaky and unproven--a second tier 2B at best.  Capuano is pretty good, but not as good as the Cy young candidate Santana.  Berkman hit two Bombs today.  You know what you will get from Santana and Berkman --two top tier players.  Bonds is extremely high risk.  Visquel is good but not a great offensive player, and he hits in a pitching friendly BP.  You gotta take this trade!\n\nAll in all, you gave 4 for 2--you get to pick up two players, a 2B, and SS.  Take a chance on the waiver wire, maybe a guy like Jack Wilson, Jose Lopez, or Ian Kinsler is avail.


Even if daughter of a friend, I'd think people would get the same impression I'm having.  Am I wrong to suspect this isn't normal or is he just being careless?

Most 15 year olds do not have friends in their 40's, nor would any normal 40 year old even want to be friends with a 15 year old, as they should have absolutely nothing in common. I would take charge of that situation. Good luck to you.


Ok, this is your chance.  Give me the best you've got.  I have no religion really right now.  Should I convert to your religion?  Why?  Please don't give me something not well-thought out, like "JUst go read the bible and you'll see."  Give me something I can really chew over.

I find that mildly insulting, since "Just read the Bible for yourself and you'll see" *is* my religious practice.  I use many translations in an attempt to understand the context and meaning of the original words, and take timeout to actually *experience* God in my life as well, through prayer and observation.\n\nPoint 1)\nJesus said "you are not to be called teacher. There is only one Teacher, and all of you are brothers.  Do not call any man here on earth your father. There is only one Father and He is in heaven.  You are not to be called leader. There is only one Leader and He is Christ." \n\nSo if we only have One teacher, and He isn't obviously visible or tangible to everyone, it's going to take a change in our perception to find Him.  Following any leader, any church, any teacher traps us.\n\nPoint 2)\nJesus said "The holy nation (kingdom) of God is not coming in such a way that can be seen with the eyes. It will not be said, 'See, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For the holy nation of God is in you."\n\nAs we respond to our internal reactions to the scriptures, we will find Christ at work in it.\n\nPoint 3)\nRomans 1:19-20 Paul is saying:\nMen know about God. He has made it plain to them. Men cannot say they do not know about God. From the beginning of the world, men could see what God is like through the things He has made.This shows His power that lasts forever. It shows that He is God.\n\nWe also react to the world around us, but it is the internal reaction which reveals God at work in our hearts.  This works even if you don't read scripture.\n\nPoint 4)\nBut Jesus said, "It must be done, because we must do everything that is right." So then John baptized him.\n\nJesus did things that weren't even necessary for Him to do.  Being baptized for example, was a way for a Gentile (non-Jew) to become "grafted" to Judaism.  So we see Jesus being observant in all the ways a person can be observant.\n\nI try to act in a way that reveals God's presence and love to all people, Jews first, but also Christians, Muslims, Pagans, Wiccans, Hindus, and Native Americans especially, since I am living in their space and I am in part descended from them, Mexicans, Canadians, anyone stigmatized, homosexuals, the handicapped, the homeless, and that really annoying guy at work.\n\nThis brings me to\nMy final Point)\nGod is Love 1 John 4:8,16\n\nIf you learn anything on the way that leads you to act hatefully, you weren't learning that from Jesus.\n\nI'm sorry if you expected more.  I hope you weren't expecting me to point you in a church you never noticed, sitting right there on your corner, with white doves perched on a running fountain.  But fortunately, the religion I'm talking about is open to everyone, and not just the literate, not just the social, not just the convicted, but also the conversational, the solitary, and the skeptical.  You seek God with all your heart and ability and He Himself teaches you.

Also why hasn't the FIT FOR LIFE Diet being used for the schools that cater for the children & in school tuck shops. Has it been charcterised on TV like the ATKINS diet? I bet it will come out positive compared to any othe diet out there? Could I be involved if you are going to put a TV doco on this subject out there, as I have studied FILM & TV, but not much chance to practice it here in my town here in NEW ZEALAND. Also why hasn't Bill Watterson of "Calvin & Hobbes" put his cartoons into a film, like alot of animation films now days, I ask his publishing company, but they never got back to me. I would like to be involved in the making of that film also.

The problem is big money as talked about in the books.  What would happen to the dairy industry, meat industry, drug industry.  You get too popular explaining what really happens to the body when this crap is ingested, these industries will spend millions of dollars to make you look like a fool to keep their billions rolling in.  Sad but true.  Changing individuals is hard enough.  It's like asking someone to change the beliefs they were raised with.          Become the model of extreme health, then people will listen to you more.  GOOD LUCK!


These protestors have been waving signs outside of military funerals that say "God hates f*gs". Also, what do you think about its relationship with the first amendment? \n\nhttp://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0604040156apr04,1,3821731.story?track=rss

I think that it was bound to happen.\n\nWhat you are seeing is a person pulling individuals further and further into a private cult.  Phelps (the leader of the cult) is using a tried and true method of forming a "splinter" cult.\n\nHow this works is this:  you take an established religion.  Acquire followers/believers from that religion... while preaching the same standard things.  As time goes by, you slowly alter your message.  You criticize how the original church has lost its way.  You point out facts/ideas that have been overlooked.  You slowly separate your believers from believing in the original church and make it sound as if you know the "truth".\n\nAs your followers slowly divorce themselves from their original church, you start to have them undertake actions that people would frown on... but "need to be done" (like gay bashing).  As your followers do these tasks, they are subjected to adverse stimuli from the original church and society... even further bringing them under your control.  You tell them... "See!  The church is siding with the evildoers!  Society is sick!  See how they treat you?!?  You know the truth and they attack you for being faithful!".\n\nAs your followers become further and further separated from their old church and the rest of society... they fall further into your clutches.\n\nWhy are christians protesting at funerals?  Because power-hungry people use religion and tactics such as those to acquire and consolidate their power.  It worked for Saul.  It worked for Reverend Moon.  It's working for Phelps.


I need some ideas of what to do after prom with my boyfriend. There are no movie theaters, bowling alleys, or late night resturants close by. Please give me ideas to make the night even more special.

If there is a post prom at your school I would recommend going. I went in high school and had a blast and won money also. If your school does not have a post prom maybe have a party at your house with a couple of friends or plan a romantic candlelight dinner for just you and your boyfriend. Curl up on the couch and watch movies.


It's english class and he constanly has us watch sports and read and watch stuff about the civil war and other wars. I'm the only girl in the class and get treated like crap. What should I do?

Take a trip to the Principal's office and ask why you are watching sports and learning about different wars in an English class and also mention that you are not treated well.


i have sent many e-mail leters to friends, only to see mailer daemon, bringing the message back to my box


Do you watch Passions? How long have you been watching it?\nWho is your favorite Passions Character? If you could be any character from passions, who would you be and why??

Yes, I love passions. I've been watching it since it started coming on in 1999. My favorite character would have to Theresa, and if i could be any character it would have to be her minus the whole desperate attempts to get ethan.


There was a song played on the HBO series The Sopranos.  In the episode when Tony is in Italy.  I believe it is an opera song by Bocelli.  Anyone know the name of it, or where I can find it?


I sing a pretty raspy, screaming sound for alot of my music.  I was wondering how do rock singer's such as Chris Cornell(Soundgarden/Audioslave), layne stayley(Alice in Chains), Travis Meeks(Days of the New) stop from getting nodules & damaging there vocal chords?

I don't believe they stop! Layne staley's voice was getting more drug-affected and lower with time, until he ODd and died, chris cornell cannot scream anymore in live shows, if u saw LIVE 8 i think u would have agreed! So...


As for me, I've done the more traditional stuff up until recently.  But nowadays, realizing that the dojo I practiced at did nothing but forms over and over, I decided to study kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and wrestling (similar to some of the fighting you'd see in either UFC or Pride Fighting).  How about you guys?

I started studying Yamamorri Ryu when I was 4. (Black Belt Level - 15 years studying)\nThis are includes: Hand-to-hand combat (Tai-jutsu) \n                                    Sword Skills (Ken-jutsu & iai-jutsu)\n                                    Staff Skil;s (Bo-jutsi & Jo-Jutsu)\n                                    And other basic Japanese military arts.\nWhen I was 16 I started Lung-Feng Chuan Kung Fu. (Instructor Level - 10 years studying)\nWhen I was 20, I started Tea Kwon Do. (Black Belt Level 5 years studying)\nWhen I was 24 I started Wing Chun Kung Fu. (Assistant Instructor Level)\nWhen I was 30 I started Taijiquan\nAt 34 I started Xingyiquan \n\nWhat's next, I have NO IDEA!


i really like this girl that i have known since preeschool and she has a boyfriend and says that she does not like me.What should i do to change her mind about her boyfriend and make her like me.

dude you cant change her mind. if she doesnt like you then she doesnt like.  only time will tell what can happen but you cant change her heart.

I was so confused on House last night. What eventually happened to the 15 year old? Was he not holy at all but lying? I was so confused. And how come out of nowhere, Wilson was sleeping with his patient? How did House know? Wilson wasnt even acting suspicious around her.

No, the boy was not holy, nor was he lying.  He had delusions caused by brain tumors, and his "healing" of the cancer patient was a medical fluke related to his encephalitic herpes.\n\nHouse "knew" Wilson was sleeping with Grace because that was supposedly the only way she might have known about the card game, which she could then tell the boy.  I thought that was a bit of a stretch, too ;)  He may also have been able to read something in Wilson, but that was never explained.


This boy I really like at school really likes me too...he was going to ask me out yesterday but his friends got to him and he didn't...he is afraid that when he gets to high school things won't be the same and that people will make fun of him because of the one year age difference between us...what should I tell him that will change his mind and make him see that it doesn't matter and that some people would be jealous of him?...I love him like I have never loved anyone in my life...and he is the same way with me. Should I call him or what?...and if you think I should call what should I say...I need some help...we really like each other and I want to make him see that we were meant to be...ANYTHING to help will be well appreciated!

Hi\n\n  The only thing that I would have to suggest is to just try and talk to him and tell him how you really feel. If he is mature about the situation tell him it should not matter what his friends think if he really likes you. I know it is hard because everyone wants almost everyone to like them when your in high school and you don't want to appear different. In the end it is his choice and I hope all works out for you both. I hope I helped!


I will be moving to Michigan soon, and am not sure if buying is better than renting. I will be 62 at the time I move, and plan to retire and work part-time

Owning a house is the best from an investment standpoint. Condos are pretty good too although the market is different. They don't increase in value as much, you have to pay an extra monthly fee but you don't have to worry about taking care of the outside. Renting is money out the window but you may want to consider it first so that you can really take your time and look over the housing market in the area you will be going.


School districts in New York or PA who pay-off student loans

If you are a teacher in a low-income school district, your student loans may be forgiven....\n\nIf you received a Stafford Loan on or after October 1, 1998, and you teach full time for five consecutive years in a designated low-income school. (This applies to FFEL Stafford Loans, Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, and in some cases, Consolidation Loans.)\n\nIf you have a loan from the Federal Perkins Loan Program, you might be eligible for loan cancellation for full-time teaching at a designated low-income school or teaching in certain subject areas. You can view the list of teacher shortage areas here: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/pol/tsa.pdf\n\nAs far as which schools qualify, well, there are too many schools to list here. To search the database of schools that qualify for the forgiveness, try this site: https://www.tcli.ed.gov/CBSWebApp/tcli/TCLIPubSchoolSearch.jsp\n\nOnce you know that you meet the criteria, you can complete a Stafford \nor Direct loan cancellation form here: http://www.dlssonline.com/tools/show-pdf.asp\n\nIf you meet the criteria for Perkins cancellation, you will need to speak to the school(s) from which you received the loan(s).

Is there any way to remove those marks/scars? Such as surgery or anything

I think everyone has these who have vaccinated.  The skin really shouldn't look deformed more like a very small crater.


to what kind of person u can call friend, and a true friend and with what kind of person at what time u do friendship

a friend is someone u can trust someone u can hang out with. a true friend is someone u can trust, relate to, someone who likes u for who u are. someone that u can always be honest with. a friend that never lys and is always faithful and loyal 2 u. a friend that is always there for u everytime, everymoment, every second in your life. someone who can comfort you at times when your sad or upset. someone u can always talk to and never have to act like somone ur not bacuz they like u for who u r. someone u can always have fun with no matter what it is. a friend always knows the right things to say to u. there r somany qualities in an true friend id get real tired of typing. a friendship is where nothing/no one can destroy what u and that person have. where u always care about onanother. not the love way but the friend way. you and that person are always together and u just cant be apart. its like a... like somekinda food that is combined with 2 delisious things that r so good together tht u hate them apart. something like that. youll know when its a friendship because you feel like that person is your best friend. a sister or brother thjat cares so much about u and u always have fun together. u will feel like u never wanna depart from that person because u can always relate to them and u always enjoy being with that person. its kinda like when your in love. youll know because u feel u can always tell that person evrything. no matter how personal it is. u feel so comfortable. u wont feel like u love LOVE that person. just as a friend. a sister or brother, a best friend and u know that noone or nuthin can break u2 apart because u wont let it because wthiout eachother your miserable because there is no other person who isnt into shopping, or football, or skateboarding or talking on the phone like how u and that person r. i havent found that true friend yet but im gettin there.if u havent found one i wouldnt worry because evryone finds a true friend because no one can live without one. its like a medicine that keeps u living. so anyways thats my ideal of a true friend a friend and a friendship. i hope i answered ur question. :)


You guessed it!  This is sarcasm!  Sorta.  See it seems that if you stick up for securing America and not allowing millions to flow in undocumented then you are racist (oooooohh..)  But if you stick up for the millions that ARE flowing in undocumented and draining the system, then you are nobel and "progressive".  What's the real deal?  My girlfriend and her family moved here from Korea and are spending thousands just to get their green cards, let alone citizenship, and have waited years.  Yet if you bring that point up to illegal immigrant supporters, they don't care.  I have no idea where else this is going.  I'm just looking for input.

----Actually to all those that call you a jerk, they clearly don't know what they are talking about...more ignorant folks than you can shake a stick at.  When one marries an alien, they don't become a citizen automatically and it certainly ain't free.  It is also fraud to marry someone just so they can get a green card.\n\nI'm not really sure what the question is here, but I will try to comment on what you wrote.\n\nFirst of all, not many Americans (including those that work in the immigration system for a living) understand the phenomenon of immigration in the United States very well.  So don't feel badly.\n\nThere is a myth perpetuated in American schools that the United States is special somehow because it is a "country of immigrants."  This is a real fallacy.  Most countries are countries of immigrants...everyone had to come from somewhere.  I'll bet most of the population in the United States has already been there for many generations.  However, this creates the expectation among many Americans that immigration of any kind is perfectly acceptable and even wonderful somehow.\n\nThere are many ways of looking at the phenomenon: political, sociological, administrative, etc.  A lot of Americans don't give it a lot of thought at all, assuming that things will just take care of themselves like they always have.  Some Americans see immigration as a constant source of cheap labor, easily exploitable, whether legal of illegal.  Politicians, understanding that everyone in their precinct eventually will probably be a voter, are not really in a hurry to be anti-immigrant, and will even interfere with Executive Branch processes on the behalf of illegal aliens residing in their districts in hope of getting their votes in the future.  Other folks don't like the idea of people breaking the law to get benefits for which they don't contribute.  And still others have a mix of sentiments.\n\nHere is the scoop.  There are two general types of immigrants: those who enter the United States legally with the permission of the Government; and those who don't.  The latter category include those who defraud or violate status once they are in, in addition to those who walk across the border or are otherwise trafficked across. In my experience, legal immigrants resent illegals because they didn't bother to go to the trouble that they went to.\n\nPeople want to improve their lives.  It is a basic fact that distinguishes man from animals.  You can hardly blame a guy for wanting to do that.  However, crossing the border without the permission of that country is a violation of the sovereignty of that nation.  That is hard to explain to guy living on beans and tortillas, and it is a rather thin distinction when his family is starving.  One illegal hardly hurts anyone, right?  \n\nHowever, a flood of aliens puts a strain on a country's financial resources.  Also, turning a blind eye to illegal entry also helps criminals make a profit from facilitation.  People in the destination country are not always nice and will often exploit an illegal worker.   Therefore, a country puts up controls to try and responsibly manage immigration. \n\nThis allows people from all countries, including many refugees, to seek a better life in the United States in a manner which protects them from exploitation and gives them the means to start productive lives, paying back into the tax base which supports schools, public services, etc.  there are many ways this happens through the Department of State and Department of Homeland Security (formerly INS).  Through the use of immigrant visas, the Department of State seeks to reunify families which have already immigrated to the US, allow new immigrants to immigrate, and permit talented professionals to enter to pursue their professions.  The Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also issue refugee documents allowing thousands of


This is my biology writing assignment.  Since water makes iron rust, and there is water and iron in the blood, Why doesn't blood rust?

Blood does not contain enough iron to rust (rust is FeO2).  Rust is caused by the synthesis reaction:\n\n             Fe  +  O2 -------> FeO2\n\nWithout the right circumstances this will not happen, the right circumstances being that there be enough iron there for the reaction to occur.


I understand that using acronyms, short hand, or abbreviations help to get your message written out quicker, but that is no reason to exclude punctuation and grammar.  When did it become ok to sound like a moron?  And this happens with spelling too!  People don’t even try to hide it.  I’ll admit, I’m not the best speller, but to avoid embarrassment, I use a spell checker to make sure I’m not coming across as stupid.  Even Yahoo Answers has a spell checker!  Unfortunately, there isn’t an option for punctuation and grammar yet.  Your thoughts?

It's your basic apathy and ignorance. To most people it's just not important any more - even schools don't rate spelling and grammar. Ignorance is said to be bliss and unfortunately people accept that.


please don't say e-bay! i've looked-constantly!

Click on that link, takes you to eBay, where it's for sale under the title "Manchester United-The Treble"\n\nMight be something I'll look into getting too! Let me know what you think!\n\nAnd yes, I said the "bad" word (eBay)...but it IS there, on DVD as you requested..just gotta know how to look for it.  Chalk my experience up to my daughter wanting DVD's from England!  I think the last one we bought, was The Canterville Ghost starring Patrick Stewart...and to order it FROM England, took 21 days to get here, but worth it for her! :)


Is this a cop thing?  My hubby a few times a month, doesnt wear his vest to work!  We argue everytime about that when he doesnt wear it!  We aren't mad at each other when he leaves for work (ya never know)  but i worry about him soo much when he doesnt have his vest on!  It only takes that one time!  When he has it on I am fine with him workin, and dont worry as much!  Is it right for me to yell at him when he doesnt wear it?  Or do all cops do this and if so what do their spouses think?

I'm a cop. I never wear my badge without my vest. I sweat all day in Texas but it's a necessary evil.


The personal mail that goes to my old address he is opening.  Including mail from my personal physician.  I have given everyone my new address but they are slow in getting it actually changed.

Ok...Here is the best answer. Stop all your mail going to the old address and have the post office hold it. That way you can pick it up at the Post Office in person, show your ID and be the only person to get it. Also, immediately give all your medical Dr's. your new address.


Why is easy for married ppl to fall out of love with their spouse and fall for someone else?

Some people are addicted to the initial hormonal rush that comes from falling in love.  It only lasts for about a year, and after it wears off, they start detoxing and looking for a new love to get the hormones going again.  For this reason, some people shouldn't get married.


The American president is poking his nose in the private matters of India and Iran, who are developing naitons. Bush boes not want them to progress at all and thinks if Iran and India become nuclear powers, it will be a problem for the US and give further rise to terrorism.

The concern, and it's a fairly legitimate one, is that a nation like Iran, which has had strong ties to organizations that advocate violence against the US in the past, might be willing to supply radioactive materials or nuclear weapons to such organizations in the future.\n\nIndia already has nuclear technology, but refuses to allow international agencies to monitor it's programs, which is a bit curious.\n\n"Developing nations" sometimes cause concern because of the potential to sell radioactive material or even nuclear weapons to radicalists.  And there is also concern that such a nation would build nuclear weapons and possibly use them against a rival nation.  (Pakistan and India are a perfect example of this)\n\nThe bottom line is this: nuclear weapons = trouble.  If more countries have them, there is a greater potential, not only for a nuclear war, but also accidents, contamination, leaking of nuclear secrets and the secret sale of dangerous weapons and materials.\n\nThe potential for all of these is much higher in a country that does not yet have strict environmental and safety regulations and global economic interests that would be badly damaged by international sanctions.

I been with him for a while and he has a lot of money that he inheritated from his dad. And now people think I want him for his money but I wanted him before that as well but didn't know how to tell him. He is the only man who want's me for who I really am and I love that about him. But when I need something I ask him when I work myself but I don't make enough money to provide for myself, I think I kind of take advantage of the fact that I can ask him for things though. Am I really in it for the money?

not to worry.  you wont be the first and you certainly wont be the last.  enjoy it

Deforestation raises the important issue of conservation vs. economic development. Explore the different debates sorrounding the issue of deforestation in the tropics. The effects of deforestation in the sorrounding areas. will deforestation go against economic developmet. What will happen to the development of the economi. Do you think conserving the environment will be affectet by deforestation.Then if you think so, how, conservation will be affected by deforestation.

There's entirely too much information available on this subject.  I suggest you start with a simple internet search with using words or phrases like 'tropical deforestation issues' or 'impact of tropical deforestation'.  There's a ton of info to find.  Also try your local library.  I'm sure there are tons of magazine and journal articles written on the subject.

He said he is from a larger city in our area, and that he has "done a killing".  I have went to the local police, but I would really like to find some information about them to see if there is anything else I should do.  I thought about notifying the school, but I would like to be able to give them some information if I can.

Your daughter does not need to be talking to this wierdo.I've never heard of this particular gang but have seen a few like them.This guy probably needs attention that he's not getting at home.Unfortunately,some of these gangs will take advantage of that.KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR DAUGHTER!!!Yes I believe you should notify the school that a teenage boy talking about gang activity has approached your child.That way they can keep an eye on other students.


I'm not saying I live in Bevelry Hills, but why do some people act ghetto when they live in the best place ever, like Malibu?

i think your refering to bored little rich white Kids. Typically rich white kids act ghetto in order to get attention. They aren't getting it from mommy and daddy so they try to get it from society. It is negative attention but its still attention.


these are the facts: im goin to midwood and i need to fill out a music/art survey. now i got the art thing done. im taking video production. now for the music i guess i will be doin piano. the problem is that i dont know which music class to take. here are the choices. can someone please tell me which class u reccomend? thanx a lot... Beginning String Class, Orchestra, Beginner's Band, Jazz Band, Concert Band, Percussion, Marching Band, Guitar Class, Mixed Chorus, and Girl's Chorus (i think that last one is a definite no cuz im a guy ^.^)

Your best guess would be Jazz Class, it is very heavy on Piano improvisation.

I'm pretty sure you can't do this once the season starts. As commish, you can control the dead team, but nobody else can. You don't have many options short of killing the league and starting a new one. At least you won't have to re-draft.

Some people beleive that they are spirts.

I have heard they are caused by dust on the lens or water.  However, my daughter can't seem to have a pic taken of her without either orbs or long thin white smokey ribbons all around her.  Even though she is only 22, I call her an old soul.  She is a sensitive, meaning she can sense and feel things others can't.  I am the same way.  I believe these may be spirits around her.

I am a married women of 3 years i have 2 beautiful children. My husband can be real sweet sometime and good to me but most of the time he is mean and moody and we fight and talk about it but nothing ever changes. I am tired of it all. He has never hit me but he is always mad at me about something so little. I cant do it no more. What do i do? I have found another man behind his back that respects me and treats me the way i deserve but the only thing stopping us from being together and letting everyone know is i am married and i dont know what to do. Yes i have had relations with this other man a couple time but i am so confused i need your advice

you are in the wrong for starting an affair while you r still married. i think you and your husband need to go for marriage counselling. you should stop seeing this guy and stop using him as a fall out plan when things dont work out. marriage require a lot of work and commitment. you dont just go ouit  cause you found something easier to deal with...

They sound like there are seriously menatally ill and need professional help!\n\nI have to say your bf sounds lovely for taking care of you and being there for you, i would personally give him a hug if i saw him.\n\nHave you reported any of these incidents when you were younger to the NSPCC for example?\n\nYou are past 16 so therefore, intitiled legally to leave home and im sure the local council could set you up in a new estate away from your parents. However, although you are past the age of using childline and NSPCC you can always call the smaratins for more help and advice who could arrange your house setting and also prosecute those demon parents of your so you can get your just desserts.\n\nIf you ever wanna talk just email me or message me on madness17@hotmail.co.uk\n\ni sure hope things improve for you and best of luck for the future xxx\n:)


I beleve that Author Mark Twain(or Samuel Clemins)invented the characters of Tom and Huck,but how was that done?-EG

Read some biographies about Mark Twain. They may say where they came from in his mind. Most likely they were created from parts of his own personality, or from personalities of his friends when he was young.


Do you ever just break down and cry,and you dont know why? Were somthing just tears deep down inside?  I have.  If you have not hade this its not some thing that you want to expeircence. it has no name.  It can amoste make you go insane.  What is this emotions?  I think i will die.  Let me tel you how it  feels and maybe you will have a idea.  Crying for no reason,confouson. Dont want to live but scared to dye and you dont know why.  Scared of evryone afraied to trust, but seeking a friend. \nDeep down in side you love him, but dnye it to evryone even your self.  You pretend to hate him but cant help it.  If you dont have this emotion im glad you dont.  Beacas im now a living dead.  Evry thing is confusing nothing makes sense.  Im lying to myself  day and night.  I pray that you dont ever have this expeirance.

i do have this experience...it is not a good one... the only thing i  know to tell you is that you should try to talk to him about how you really feel. it worked for me...


This is really an ethical dillemma I've been facing... Well, not really.  When I leave work I have the option of driving 10 minutes to greet my son at home, or 30 minutes.  The answer to me seems obvious.  If the odds of getting caught or something like 1 in 100, then the expected cost each time I do it is around $2.81, which I can live with.  But I would love to hear others' perspectives, 'cause at time I feel a bit like I am freeloading on the rest of the poor masses who obey the law.

LMAO!!! That $2.81 qualification, is hilarious!!! Please, it's sooo not immoral, "just" illegal.  I say if you're bold enough to get over there and get your solitary carpool on, go for it.  LOL It's not going to bother me in the slightest if I'm in the carpool lane legally - do your thing if you don't mind the points on your license and the exorbitant fees!!! And you know if you get caught twice and/or three times, the penalties and fees get steeper and steeper, and the points on your license add up to higher car insurance rates... so you might want to recalculate that $2.81.  *shrug* Just a thought.
