what scences in the movie break the laws of physics?

one is the frictionless ship. being entirely frictionless is physically impossible, at least on earth. another would be the improbability drive. you cannot travel thru space on pure improbability. another scientific problen is the fact that almost every planet is inhabited by an alien species, and that most are humanoids. a formula developed by a scientist named frank drake. it is an equation for the probability of alien civilizations in this galaxy with intelligences like or above ours. N = N* fp ne fl fi fc fL. each variable is explained thus:The equation can really be looked at as a number of questions:\n\nN* represents the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy \nQuestion: How many stars are in the Milky Way Galaxy? \nAnswer: Current estimates are 100 billion. \nfp is the fraction of stars that have planets around them \nQuestion: What percentage of stars have planetary systems? \nAnswer: Current estimates range from 20% to 50%. \nne is the number of planets per star that are capable of sustaining life \nQuestion: For each star that does have a planetary system, how many planets are capable of sustaining life? \nAnswer: Current estimates range from 1 to 5. \nfl is the fraction of planets in ne where life evolves \nQuestion: On what percentage of the planets that are capable of sustaining life does life actually evolve? \nAnswer: Current estimates range from 100% (where life can evolve it will) down to close to 0%. \nfi is the fraction of fl where intelligent life evolves \nQuestion: On the planets where life does evolve, what percentage evolves intelligent life? \nAnswer: Estimates range from 100% (intelligence is such a survival advantage that it will certainly evolve) down to near 0%. \nfc is the fraction of fi that communicate \nQuestion: What percentage of intelligent races have the means and the desire to communicate? \nAnswer: 10% to 20% \nfL is fraction of the planet's life during which the communicating civilizations live \nQuestion: For each civilization that does communicate, for what fraction of the planet's life does the civilization survive? \nAnswer: This is the toughest of the questions. If we take Earth as an example, the expected lifetime of our Sun and the Earth is roughly 10 billion years. So far we've been communicating with radio waves for less than 100 years. How long will our civilization survive? Will we destroy ourselves in a few years like some predict or will we overcome our problems and survive for millennia? If we were destroyed tomorrow the answer to this question would be 1/100,000,000th. If we survive for 10,000 years the answer will be 1/1,000,000th. \nWhen all of these variables are multiplied together when come up with: \nN, the number of communicating civilizations in the galaxy. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nThe real value of the Drake Equation is not in the answer itself, but the questions that are prompted when attempting to come up with an answer. Obviously there is a tremendous amount of guess work involved when filling in the variables. As we learn more from astronomy, biology, and other sciences, we'll be able to better estimate the answers to the above questions. Many of these questions will be addressed in depth in future issues of Enigma.


wouldnt tell me who he was. he said he wasnt in our grade and that all he remembers is that he was popular and thinks he moved away. does this sound fishy? is it really him who likes me?

Sounds like a hoax.  I know someone who gives her heart to the first guy who was rumored to like her, then finds out it was either a sick joke or a mistake.  Just trying to keep you from becoming a crazy cat lady in later years!


I looked at that video frame by frame and I saw no 253,000 pound 757. I did see a metallic looking object about the size of a cruise missle. It also looked like one!

There is no wing shaped damage to the right and left of the hole...  Since the Pentagon is built very strongly, It seems to me that the wings would have sheared off upon impact and there would be many pieces lying in front of the building on either side of the hole.  There isn't.  Commercial jet liners don't 'vaporize'... That's preposterous.  Water vaporizes.  Liquid nitrogen vaporizes.  Aluminum and titanium do not.  They eventually will melt, but due to the quick response of the firefighters, I doubt the fire got hot enough for long enough to melt an entire plane.  Even then, there would be many tons of melted metal to pick up.  I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I'm no idiot either.  There is something wrong with the government's version of what happened at the Pentagon.


Will you have enough money saved or will you have to work until you drop dead.This is serious folks Think about it.

I will guarantee that you will receive social security, because the government will not take it away (it would be bad policy, looks bad).  However, it will not be enough for any person to live on.  It is barely enough by today's standards.  So I believe it will exist, but it will be more of a nod to the elderly and the poor, but will not be any real assistance.  So I suggest to everyone invest, put money into your 401K, and try to save as much as you can.\n\nFor the guy who said he'll take care of himself. Good for you, but if I put you in a minimum wage job, lets see how well you do.  This program was instituted as a promise by our government to workers.  I find it cruel to say "oh yeah never mind should have saved".


If some of you read my questions more carefully, you would have noticed that I didn't say that God wants us to hate gays, I didn't say that all Christians hate gays, I didn't say that I don't believe in God.  And just because I don't like George Dubya doesn't mean I should live with terrorists.  That's just an ignorant comment.  I accept gays completely, and I believe in the lessons the Bible teaches us, but it is just a story.  Maybe some, or most of it is true but do you really think that Moses freed all the slaves by parting the water when there are no written documents in heiroglyphics of it ever happened.  Do you really think that a senior citizen gathered two of every animal in the world and started a whole population?  Be a little realistic please.

Lev.18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Lev.18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

My husband cheated on me on the first week of our marriage, He told me he was traveling while he went to sleep in hotel with his ex-girlfriend. When I found out, he said that they did not have sex together. that he invited her to settlle with her and to let her know that he is now married. Since then I never trusted him.

Give him a second chance since you are married to him.  Marriage is actually a life long forgiving and acceptance cycle.  Remember, none of us are perfect and all of us can falter in one way or another.  Try to find other good qualities in him which you may miss if you keep reminding yourself of this one incident. God bless!


will c. mears make it on the fule he has left


me and my boyfrien have been going out for almost  five yrs and our sex life used to be great then he got kicked out of his apartment and he really has no place to go when we have money we stay in a hotel i still live with my mother and she dosent really like him wehave had sex this month aout 4 times what can i do to spice it up and let him kbow that i am still attracted to him. i tell him we can do it in my car because we have before but he always says no i dont understand please help us.

if your mom is a decent woman, she probably has good reason to not like him. be more open to her opinions.

Every time a True Christian calls a JW or Mormon a cult member they always answer back by giving us the definition of what a cult is. It is true this definition entails all religious beliefs but this is too broad a definition since it doesn't sufficiently address the issue of true and false religious systems.\nWe should just call them Christian cults.  This term is used by Christian ministries and theologians.  A Christian Cult is a group that may or may not include the Bible in its set of authoritative scriptures. If it does include the Bible, it distorts the true biblical doctrines that effect salvation sufficiently so as to void salvation

There are certainly enough cults that claim to be Christian, including all of fundamentalism in my opinion.  \n\nI think we are far too shy about using the word "cult" when its appropriate.  For a group of people to consider themselves Christians when they accept the verbal inspiration of the Bible is a joke, whether they are Jehovah's Witnesses or Southern Baptists.  The book speaks for itself and clearly establishes itself as a book of myths, lies, and fairy tales.  \n\nChristianity relates to the worship of Jesus Christ as the son-of-god and Saviour -- not to biblio-idolatry.\n\nThank you for pointing it out, whether or not inadvertently.\n\nRegards,\n\nReynolds C.

i keep getten these headaches its coming from the same area behind my ear every time i get it, ive took painkiller and they dont work and its realllly sore i hate getten it during the day cause i cant have any noise and my poor kids have to put up with me wingen at them to keep the noise down,

smoking, stimulants (caffine), and lots of sugar can cause headaches.  Drinking alot of water and exercise regularly can help your body get rid of those extra toxins.\n\nIf it is really serious GOTO A DOCTOR.  if its not, try exercising and eating healthier


We were a little drunk and fooling around and when i was playing with his balls he asked me to shove my fingers in his ass and kept saying to hit his prostate. It was kind of weird and now he doesn't want to talk about it. Could this be a sign he is bisexual?

A homosexual man is a man who finds other men sexually attractive, and wants to have intimate sexual relations with them. \n\nA bisexual man is a man who finds both men and women sexually attractive and wants to have intimate sexual relations with either sex. \n\nA homosexual female (lesbian) is a lady who finds other ladies sexually attractive and wants to have intimate sexual relations with them. \n\nWhat your boyfriend asked you to do, is to put your finger in his rear, you are a girl, so there was nothing remotely homosexual about this request. \n\nThe similar assumption to make would be that when (if) you ask him to perform cunnilingus (kissing and licking your vagina)  on you, because you find this sexually stimulation and pleasant, that you are a lesbian; as this is what a lesbian would do to you during love making.   Of course you are not a lesbian because of this, because you have asked your BF to do it because you find HIM sexually attractive. \n\nHe probably does not want to talk about it because he knows that you are thinking these things.  If you love him and care about him, you will reassure him that you have no questions about his sexuality because of this, and that you are willing to do it as you care about him and his needs.  Your relationship will become much closer as you are trusting each other and communicating your needs and wants which is always a good thing.

I CHOOSE to worship God.Not because I am afraid of hell fire but because I love him.I choose to trust in my God not because of my upbringing or because somebody told me too but because I trust and have love and faith in my Lord.I claim him,love him,receive him,and there is no other before him.

I can!\n\nNo one ever "taught" me about God. \nI have never once in my live ever doubted his existence or his love for me and all of his children.\n\nGod Bless.

And PLEASE I would like some decent answers, don't give me the anorexic bullshit, drugs and throwing up. Answer if you reall y know what it's all about. I'd really appreciate it.

She was in a British mag this week (Heat)admitting that she has an eating disorder and is really unhappy with her size. She would like to go back to the size she was a bout a year ago but became addicted to losing weight. Most eating disorders are neither anorexia or bulemia but a mix of both- I suspect that Nicole is suffering from a mix of both.


so lately I have been gaining weight...like a month ago i started working at a food restauarant..and I have gained like 5 lbs since then! and it sucks soo bad..I need to know a good way to get rid of this fat..but the thing is nothing ever works..the fat is ONLY around my belly button and kinda lower!..it seems like the fat that kinda sticks out ya know never goes down even a little like it use to!..I need help..b/c I hate looking like this! and summer is coming soon! HELP!!!!!!

Ok it's pretty obvious that you must be eating too much white starchy breads, and drop the sugary stuff!\n\nalrite :) now to loose it\n\nOnly eat fruits for breakfast, try some green tea ( it is a good antioxidant.. just a little beauty bonus, or some warm lemon water) \nCitrus fruits: vitamin C good for skin\npears: for shiney glossy hair\n\n\n\nLunch: only have a few veggies, carrots, peppers, lettuce, whatever you like.\n\nDinner: small portion... but ur veggies should have the most, then meat , then patatoes. \n\nDrink alot of water and no snacking\n\nTo form your stomach sutff you can do is just practice belly dancing and shaking those hip to your fave music.. it's quite a workout..\n\nsitups, hovering, and more situps, curls and crunches\n\nhave good posture and sumtimes when standing just flex ur tummy and keep it tight.\n\ngood luck!

I practice a Path I call Shamanic Wicca and have spoken with many different Dieties.  Most often, however, I have called on Yemaya and Brigit, the Triple Goddess.  (By the way, Triple Goddes is the orginal source of the Trinity.  Like most things, xtians have coopted and changed it into one of their things.)

I'm Wiccan.  I've had a relationship with Artemis since before I understood that there were other religions besides Christianity.  I first learned about Her when I was in sixth grade during a section in Social Studies on mythology.  I drew a picture of her that I still have to this day, and it's my Goddess image!  I feel closest to her, although I'm no longer a virgin.  I called upon Her during my childbirth, and I think She helped to the point where the doctor told me that I was "made just perfectly to have babies" during delivery, which was a real shock to someone who had barely weighed over 100 lbs and had absolutely no hips for most of her adult life until that point!  I think She helped to spread my hips farther than they were naturally designed to go because none of my female relatives have had it as easy with their first as I did!\n\nOther than Her, I've always felt closest to the Celtic Deities.  Cernunnos and Brigit are my especial favorites.\n\nSpeaking of, you mentioned Christians coopting the idea for a trinity?  Well, look at most of the Catholic saints and you will find old pagan Deities!  Go figure, huh?  Gotta placate the masses you want to convert by letting them keep their old traditions and gods, just in a slightly different form.


Hello everybody.I  just wanted  to ask one quest:This month  when I received my credit card invoice at the end of the month I couldn't believe my eyes.There was 500 dollar bill which I hadn't spent..Now I don't know what to do..It seems that somebody must have stoloen my credit card info. and thus used it  to spend my money from..So I wanna ask you,if I inform this to my bank can they identify and spot where and by whom my credit card was used?Is it possible to detect somehow?What should I do?Is it possible to hunt with the information on the invoice?or with the Ref no?Actually just explain what can be obtained from the invoice?

When you call the bank, they will reverse the charge and issue you a new card. You'll never know who used the card. These things happen so often that they won't really do anything for $500.

A PC restore will take your system back to the factory settings. During the PC restore all the information on your hard-drive will be erased, so it is essential that you get any of your important information backed up onto external media such as CD, memory key, or a zip drive.\n\nOnce you have all you data backed up you can continue with the PC \nrestore.\nTo run a PC restore please follow the below steps.\n\n1. Turn your system off. \n2. Remove all the cables from the desktop apart from the power lead, keyboard, mouse and monitor.\n3. Turn the system back on and as soon as you turn it on hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and as you are holding it down start tapping the F11 key along the top of the keyboard once every two seconds.\n4. This will lead you to a screen with two options, one for restore and one or reboot. You click on restore,\n5. You will notice a progress bar at the bottom of the screen counting up from 0% to 100% this is the process wiping all the data on the drive. When this process has finished it will then take you through the windows set up procedure.\n6. During the windows set up you follow the on screen instructions. It will ask you for some basic information such as setting the time and the date, picking a country and a language, giving you computer a name and a company name (you can give it any name you want). It will also ask \nyou if you want to set up an Internet connection (It is recommended that you select no at this point and do it later).\n7. When the procedure is finished it will leave you back at your Windows desktop and hopefully every thing will work as normal. You can then go ahead and install any of you own software or hardware.

i'm intending to spend 3 month in the USA next summer. i haven't know which state yet.\n\ncan you tell me some states that are cheap and safe to live?\n\nhow much will i probably have to pay for food per month there?\n\nand the cost of hostel?

I live in the south, South Carolina to be exact.  Its about the cheapest place, and about the safest too.\n\nWe don't have hostels.  You would have to get an apartment or hotel.  You can get a hotel for between $130 and $250/wk depending on where you stay. You could get an apartment for anywhere between $350-$550, but then you still have to pay the bills.  Hotels tend to be a better deal.  They have long-term stay discounts you can get.\n\nFood can be as cheap as you want it to be.  Our state mandated daily food reembursement (the amount of money employees can receive for food each day if they are out of town for work) is $32, and that's more than enough money.  Just depends on what you want to spend.  And most people don't need 3 meals a day either.  For a month, if you bought groceries to keep in your hotel, you could make it off $200. (I don't know what the guy that answered earlier is eating for $60/month.  My dog eats more than that.)


should i invite my boyfriend over to my house or no?i am 13 and i really really like him. and if he does come over, how do i tell him that i love him? also, how do i ask him to come over, cuz i am love shy? and also, should I make out with him?

your going way too fast. Your only 13. And you don't want to get labled as the neighborhood slut. Tell him you like him and would like to become better friends. But if you do invite hiom over to your house make sure your parents are around.


I told my brother that the egg came first because of the evolution theory. He says he doesnt belief in that theory how can i explain to him which one came first?

There were eggs long before chickens.\n\nDinosaurs laid eggs, for example, and birds evolved from dinosaurs.\n\nGuess what, a chicken is a bird.\n\nWhatever bird chickens evolved from laid eggs, so wherever you draw the line in the sand and say "here was the first chicken", well, that chicken had a mother who laid the egg.\n\nEggs came before chickens.


I'm trying to ouput a simple string "hello world" to the terminal.  The program compiles and links with no errors, but when I run it there is no output. It's as if the standard output for 'cout' is not the terminal, but I don't know how to change it.

I am not sure what program you tried, but here is one that should work on borlands compiler.\n\n#include <iostream>\n\nint main() {\n\n    std::cout<<"Hello, world!\n";\n}\n\nI have included the 'std::' namespace in front of the cout.\n\n<Edit>\nAre you running the program from the command line, or just clicking on the exe?\nIf clicking on the exe, a command line will pop up, then disappear after displaying hello world.\nYou need to run it from the command line.


Right now, I'm hanging out with this really cool person.  She's the kind of "hyper and 'wild'" type of girl and likes hanging out a lot.  I'm really trying to do something that would give me the "edge" which would state I'm really into her and want to take this relationship a little further.  A couple weeks ago, however, she seemed somewhat depressed and I did my best to help her through her situation (which she later thanked me for).  Her birthday is coming up in late June and I already have a present for her (it’s a genuine pearl necklace with a real amethyst gem [very small] and 18K chain).  I already told her about this and she’s just dying to know and keeps nagging me about it.\n\nProblem is, I’m the type of “laid back” person and am pretty reserved and quiet, so just going up to her and saying something like “I love you, let’s go out” would be pretty weird on both ends.  Is there something that I can do to help take things a little further without her really becoming surprised?

i love the gift, its very sweet\n\nwhat i think you ought to do is just tell her\n\nshe's going to expect you to ask her directly, anyway, because of the hanging out ya'll do anyway....just say something like "can we turn this hangin we do into something more meaningful?"\n\ngood luck!


I have Internet Explorer and have noticed it is getting slower than usuallly and i have DSL

try firefox or opera they are pretty good alternative and more secure too....also download ad-aware by lavasoft its free just search the net...your computer is loaded already with spywares due to internet explorer's security vulnerabilities


I found the scale where i work.It is a steel manufactoring plant .It is appx 20 inches high and 16 inches wide.It has ounces and pounds on horizontal slides.I'm thinking,earley 40's

I found a couple. Go to Yahoo search and click on "images" and type in "Howe Scale" (without the quotes of course lol) and you will get a few pics. Good luck.


*Describe a rule by which we can tell if a fraction repeats. Apply your rule to the following fractions 1/160,1/82,1/303. Calculate the decimal representation to confirm you rule.\n*How do I change decimals into fractions? e.g 0.888888888888, 0.18181818181818181818 and 0.272727272727

I don't know the rule... I don't even think there is one you jsut divide the fraction and see if it repeats... But to change a decimal into a fraction (if you can round the fraction to the hundreths-the first 2 numbers after the decimal-) but multiply the decimal by onehundred and then try to reduce...


At trial,in the closing argument,the prosecutor instructed the jury that reasonable doubt,meant that they could have doubt as to my guilt,and it was still their duty to find me guilty.She then went to A chalk board at the front of the court room and drew A circle,then she cut it in half, then quarters.She shaded in one quarter,and told the jury that this was their room for doubt,they could have this much doubt and still find me guilty. Research indicates to me,that had our fore fathers wanted A percentage attached to beyond A reasonable doubt,they would have written it that way. Any one out their who has any knolage on the subject please advise,

It sounds like she has a very twisted understanding of "reasonable doubt".  The phrase, as you mentioned, is "beyond a reasonable doubt", which means that prudent/reasonable men, after evaluating all the evidence presented, are clearly, entirely, and morally convinced of the guilt or innocence of the defendant.  It is, in effect, saying "there is no doubt", but since we all make mistakes, we can only say we are convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt".  The evidence either adds up to guilt or innocence, or does not.  A jury can not imagine evidence to find a person guilty if there was not enough evidence to support a guilty verdict.  That's what the prosecutor is doing here, if what you say is true and I understand it correctly.  "Reasonable doubt" is a standard that suggests evidence is lacking to convict or acquit -- NOT that reasonable persons can have it (doubt) and convict or acquit anyway.  (That is, if a jury does not have sufficient evidence to convict a defendant, they can not imagine evidence to convict.  If there was not enough evidence to find the defendant guilty, the defendant is innocent/acquitted.)\n\n\n"Reasonable doubt.  If, upon proof, there is reasonable doubt remaining, the accused is entitled to the benefit of it." -- Black's Law Dictionary, 6th ed.  It is not "okay" to have doubt and convict anyway -- which is what the prosecutor is trying to claim, it seems.\n\nLawyers can say almost anything they want in closing arguments.  The defense should correct this misunderstanding in its closing argument.  The judge, in delivering instructions to the jury, should define reasonable doubt and beyond reasonable doubt.  The defense should (have) requested this.\n\nIf you want legal definitions, e-mail me & I can type them out for you.\n\nIf an Appeal is made, you can mention all these concerns - whether it is with your present attorney or another.  Try to be sure, the judge instructs the jury properly.\n\n\nNOTE:  I am NOT a lawyer.\n\n(I hope this is understandable - I'm pretty tired.)\nE-mail me if I can help in any way.\n\nPeace.\n\nP.S.  The circle with the quarter shaded in sounds like an argument for the defense.  If I were the defense attorney, I might use it [repetition] and say "here's your doubt!  And if there is that much doubt, you can not convict!"  (And of course, mention the evidence lacking or against prosecution.)


seometimes when i stare at something, I see moving spots/particles/fuzziness.  It's like the object is made of millions of little fuzzy particles that are moving around rapidly.  Is this my eyes, or the object itself that I'm seeing.  This really sounds weirder than it is, so I hope someone else has noticed the same thing.  Can you explain it?   Thanks.  If you need more details just ask!

I get that sometimes too. I have hypoglycemia. I also take a medicine for depresseion called Welbutrin which I have taken for 4 years now. Also I have reached the ripe age of 41!  I think all these things combined is what causes my spots, blurryness and shadows. I was told by my eye doc that the floating spots that move are age spots that most people get with age (over 40). They are protien fillers that build up. The sugar imbalance cause the color spots. Eating more protien in my diet and less fats/carbs helps me.


Do you think we you think we are evoling in the tense what we have more answers to life and that we have more mecidenice and factacl and icelect ideas (not because of publisely and not how we'll taught or are coutry in genarrly but how fare ahead we are) that are ancestors?

We evoling in tense but mecidenice is not factaci in coutry genarrly. That's because we publisely far ahead we'll taught.

Has the USA lost it's power, is it no longer a threat?

Iran has successfully out-manouvred the US at every stage of this developing crisis. They've done so through skillful diplomacy, using rhetoric aimed more at their allies than at the West, thus building a huge Worldwide backing, not out of support for Iran, but out of common hatred for the bully boy tactics of Bush America. \n\nAmerica has no answer to the Iranians because it understands  only one response to its belligerence. America expects States to roll over and surrender to its might. When this doesn't happen America can't cope. Iran knows this and is having enormous fun making America look ridiculous. Its all a game and America is losing every move.\n\nIran also knows America is not a serious military threat. America would be taken apart if it tried to take on Iran because the whole Islamic World would be aligned with Iran in a flash. So what does America have to do? It can do only one thing: Start treating Iran with respect and negotiate a settlement as a partner in this little World instead of acting the bully boy.


Determine the integer n for which there is  x,y in Z/nZ satisfy  the pair of equestions x+y=2,2x-3y=2

The previous poster didn't see the whole problem. This is a question about modular arithmetic, not standard algebra. The equations are to be done modulo n and the solutions are to be integers.\n\nBy adding 3 times the first to the second, we need 5x=8. By subtracting twice the first from the second, we get -5y=-2, so 5y=2. So all that is required is that 5 be invertible modulo n, i.e., that 5 does not divide n. For example, if n=4, x=0 and y=2 works.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder that causes tingling, pulling, creeping or painful sensations in the legs at night. This sensation is brought on by lying down in bed or sitting for prolonged periods, such as while driving or at a theatre. RLS typically occurs in the evening, making it difficult to fall asleep. Often, people with RLS want to walk around and shake their legs to help relieve the uncomfortable sensation.\n\nWhat Are the Symptoms of RLS? \nRLS symptoms include uncomfortable leg sensations like cramping or tingling generally in the calf region of the leg. When RLS is advanced, a person may feel these symptoms in the hands and arms. Unusual sensations typically surface at nighttime and at rest. Often, sensations can be reduced or eliminated by stretching, walking, or exercising the affected muscles. As a result of these symptoms, people with RLS often have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.\n\nWhat Causes RLS? \nThe exact cause of RLS is unknown; however, stress appears to make the condition worse. Pregnancy can also bring on the syndrome, as can anemia (particularly due to low iron levels), kidney problems, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Caffeine and some prescription medications contribute to the development of RLS in some cases. In addition, RLS has been found to be a genetic syndrome, as parents with RLS can pass it down to their children.\n\nThere is evidence that RLS, like Parkinson's disease, has been found to be accompanied by a selective destruction of dopamine neurons (nerve cells) in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. The destruction of these neurons affects motor control in the body and can contribute to leg discomfort at night in cases of RLS. Other studies showed that there may be a deficiency in specific receptors in the brain that regulate iron in those that suffer from RLS. Research is actively being conducted to further investigate these relationships.\n\nHow Is RLS Diagnosed? \nYour doctor may ask you questions about your family health history (for example, if you have any family members with RLS) and will take note of symptoms like sleepiness or insomniainsomnia. Additionally, your doctor will conduct a full physical and neurological exam to check for nerve damage or blood vessel problems and may order a series or blood tests to rule out medical disorders associated with RLS. However, there are no tests designed specifically for diagnosing RLS.\n\nWho Gets RLS? \nPeople of any age, including children, can get RLS. It may affect women slightly more than men and typically strikes older adults with an increased severity. Young people who have RLS or who show the symptoms of RLS are usually dismissed as having growing pains or are considered to be overexerting themselves during physical activity. About 5% to 10% of the U.S. population suffers from RLS.\n\nHow Is RLS Treated? \nRLS is treated in different ways, depending on the intensity of the symptoms. Using an ice pack or heating pad, taking a warm bath, exercising, or lowering caffeine intake will sometimes alleviate the problem. For more severe symptoms, medications are often prescribed. These medications may include dopamine drugs, which often are prescribed to help Parkinson's disease patients. Dopamine drugs stimulate dopamine activity and have been found very helpful in easing RLS pain. Other medications that may be helpful to control the symptoms of RLS are sleeping pills, pain medication or medicines commonly used to treat epilepsy (recurrent seizures).\n\nTips to Control RLS Symptoms \nAvoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco. \nMassage the calf and legs regularly. \nStretch your legs at the beginning and end of each day. \nExercise. Some people with RLS find that running in place for a short period of time alleviates the symptoms of RLS. \nMaintain a regular sleep schedule since fatigue may worsen symptoms. \nIf your symptoms are so severe that exercising or stretching the legs becomes painful, it is b


i am 5 weeks pregnant and i got exposed to insecticides on my first week because i didnt know that im pregnant at that time.

Damage to Fetus Can Happen in Early Pregnancy \n\nCommon lawn care products can cause developmental problems in early pregnancy -- just days after conception, new research shows. \n\nExposure to newly treated lawns and golf courses -- before the recommended waiting period is over -- could harm the developing embryo, researchers say. Weed-B-Gon, Scott's 4XD, and Atrazine are just three products found to cause harm. \n\n'Even extremely low concentrations of these pesticides -- concentrations thought to not cause any harm if the person ingests it -- could interfere with both conception and an embryo's implantation in the uterusStudies have detected these pesticides in human ovarian fluid, fluid from semen, human amniotic fluid, and even in fluids that surround the human newborn,  In a previous two-year study, Greenlee investigated effects of pesticides and fungicides in women who mix and apply these chemicals. She found that women doing this kind of work were 27 times more likely to have fertility problems compared with pregnant women who didn't work with these chemicals.Pyrethrums are chrysanthemum-derived insecticides found in antilice treatments. They do not appear to have significant toxicity, but they have not been well studied in humans. \n\nArbuckle and Sever reviewed epidemiological studies of numerous individual pesticides and pesticide combinations. Overall, their review involved hundreds of thousands of individuals. Their data suggest an increased risk of fetal death associated with pesticides in general and with maternal employment in agricultural industries.


or can they bring past up when it had nothing to do with his claim?

It probably goes to the individual's character and believability.

my SIL had a hissy fit because my bro ex came to my grandma funeral because we are still really close even though my bro and her broke up and we wrote each other a few nasty letters and she thinks she has the right to act this way because she is a spoiled princess who didn't get her way. My argument is,that wasn't and appropriate way to act on such a stressful time.My bro wasn't even allowed to talk to me that day.She hasn't talked to me since,she tried to tell me not to go to her wedding(it was out of town and everything had already been arranged)Her and my brother have family dinners and the only one not invited is me and they even did that on mothers day.My family allows all of this and say it is my fault that it is not resolved because I have not tried to be her friend.In the beginning of their relationship,she casually asked me about his ex and then ran to him crying saying I was trying to breakthem up, he didn't talk to me for months.I did like her at 1st even forgave her forthat

leave them for a while... soon they will realize what they are doing.... and after you compose yourself try to talk to them... gud luck...


The amount of attending guests will be between 100 - 200, and I am not asking for prices including catering.  Just the bare price for renting the two buildings separately.  Thanks for the help!!

Stop looking at prices and start looking at venues. \n\nVenue 1 might be £800 but it doesn't offer what you are looking for whilst venue 2 may be only 25 quid but has what you want!\n\nList what you DO want and then start looking, and while you're checking out venues refer to your list often. \n\nDon't be sidetracked by fancy lighting or the offer of free balloons or other such trivia that isn't even on your list!\n\nFocus on what you want - and don't be afraid to negotiate. Owner may well say they want more money than they are actually prepared to accept!\n\nIn the end - get the closest to your ideal venue for the closest to you ideal price - and have a wonderful wedding day.


Do you think that, if lands have been forcefully stolen from their indigenous population, then the United Nations should DEMAND that those lands should be returned to the people from whom they were stolen, AND that they should further demand that FULL compensation should be made for any and all damage done that has been done to those lands? \nIf so, the how soon should Turtle Island be returned to "The people", and how much compensation is due to them? \nFor those that do not know, the "modern" name for "The People", is ... \nNative North Americans.

This is a very difficult questions.\n\nSuch a great band, so many excellent songs.\n\nit´s impossible for me to narrow it down to a single song.\nMy favorite SP song depends on the mood and moment of life i am in.\n\nIt has happened that i´ve hated some SP songs. When i first herd Machina I, i didn´t like the album very much. But a while later in my life, things changed and all of a sudden, i loved machina. And precisely that my friend is what i like most about the pumpkins. They are always one step ahead of the fans.\n\nThe same thing happened with Adore. Nobody understood it, it didn´t get the best reviews, but when your life catches up to billies notions, concepts and perspectives, it totally makes sense. adore is an awesome album.\n\nof course i cannot forget Siamease dream and mellon collie.\n\nit´s all good

in terms of having a good career and if not what feilds will i be able to go into and have a career in

Having a felony conviction on your record will no doubt make it harder to get many jobs - particularly in large companies with strict human resouces policies and procedures.  And you have almost no chance at jobs that require a license (like a lawyer) or bonding (like a banker).  But there are many other fields dominated by smaller companies that may never even ask the question and even if they do may not care as much after you've proven yourself somewhat by getting your degree.  Plus there are really good reasons for going to college - like making yourself a better person and able to live a fuller life - other than just having a good career.  And there's always the chance you'll fall in love at school, get married and stay home and raise the kids while your spouse goes out and makes the money!


I inherited a wretched devilspawn machine - sorry, I mean a Mac computer - from my predecessor at work. It has iTunes on it, which is cool. What I can't figure out for the life of me is how to make it play every tune TO THE END, rather than fading out. This is never usually a problem, except when you play comedy or spoken word files, when it starts to get really irritating. Can you help me with this?

Probably cross-fade playback.  Under iTunes in the menu, go to Preferences... Then under the Playback tab, you will see the cross-playback option with a slider.\n\nTo prevent this from happening on certain material, while importing new CDs, highlight the tracks, and under the Advanced menu, select Join CD Tracks.  This combines tracks from a CD so you don[t get the cross playback.

My relationships (i have been in 2so far) always effect my studies.My 1st boyfriend was very selfish n i thot may be dat's y i cud'nt concentrate but even dis time wen i have an awesome guy i again flunked a few papers.me n my guy did face some problem in the beging n dat was also da time i gave my exams. Now it's really important dat i clear all my papers within this year so as a precaution,even though it hurt me a lot i requested my guy to put this relationship on hold.\nHe said he'd do it if that wud make me happy but asked me \n"r u sure u'd be able to concentrate after i move out of ur life?"\n\nnow i am totally confused. My boy friend is bit more pushy dan i'd like,he told me in da beging of the relationship dat he dint believe in going around n dat he'd want to marry me. he gave me a ring 3weeks after we got together n one day he even introduced with few of his coworkers as his "fiance"! i cudnt get a chance to stop him or talk to him bout it.these probs apart i really love him!

I am in the early stages of starting with someone in your position, she told me that she wanted to wait untill she finished her exams. Becasue I want it to work with her I accept this and am happy to wait. Talk to him, if he cant accept that your exams are important hes not worth your effort.

Avoiding the phrase “I don’t have time...”, will soon help you to realize that you do have the time needed for just about anything you choose to accomplish in life.


O.k I am in love with this boy and last year I broke his heart by breaking up with him too go with his cousin. But I said I was sorry and we ended up getting back together after 7 month's. And we was so in love he told me he loved me so much he can't explain and that he wouldn't do nothing stupid. But he felt like he should get me back from the past. So Monday he went to the church with his cousin's and this gurl I DO NOT LIKE AT ALL was there.So my friend and her was hanging around at the church and she said who sexy boy over there an my friend said oh that's Queisha boyfriend and she said well forget her I fina get him. So she went up there and started flurting with him and he so call got attracted to it. So as they was on the church bus going home he felt he should call me on speaker phone and break up with me in front of everybody even that trick.so his cousin called me and he telling me how much he sorry he just wanted me to fell his pain.If you want to no the rest anwser me.

Drop him like a lost cause.\n\nPeople make mistakes and are forgiven.  You made a mistake and apologized.  He forgave you and that should have been the end of it.\n\nI bet that he just used what you did with his cousin as an excuse for his behavior.  It likely was not planned out but he needed to blame it on you and could not accept responsibility for his own actions.\n\nDo away with him.


If so do u use a face mask or mouth piece how often do u use it and have u ever stopped breathing from a asthma attack

Yes, I have used it both at home and at the hospital. I haven't used it in about 4 months, I only use it when I do get a bad asthma attack that can't be controlled by my inhaler. When that happens, my lungs are usually weak and I have to keep using it around every 8 hours for a couple of days. I've used both the mouth piece and the mask...the mask is much more comfortable, I can fall asleep with it :P\n\nI have never completely stopped breathing, but have been pretty close to, to the point that I've turned blueish and my nails turned purple. I'm old enough now to not let it go to those extremes (I can breathe again right after using the nebulizer), but when I was a kid it happened a couple of times.


this world is not our home we are just visitors, we are all going to die and if we want to be rich because of our children we are just making them lazy it is enough to educate them and not to experience things that is already wants not needs.

u speak this way bcs u are not rich and don't think u can become. \nyes i want to be rich!\ni want to have best life and for that u need money! lots of money!!!!\ni also want to do many good things with the money, like help in Africa, like support poor people and help them get up on there feet. \nit's true we are just visitors and with money we can only buy material things which we cant take with us, and still, now I'm here and as long as I'm here i want the best i can get and give for me and for as many people as possible.


Anybody out there who regret voting for Bush? Who voted for Bush because there were slim pickings on who to elect?\nNot that I hate Bush, but I think he is doing this country more bad than good. Everybody was upset that Clinton had an affair, but at the rate that Bush is going, I think Clinton's affair was trivial compared to what Bush is doing. CLinton didn't hurt my finances by getting some on the side, (I am sure he is not the only President who has had an affair), but Bush is murdering my pocket.

THANKFULLY I DON'T HAVE THAT ON MY CONSCIENCE.\n\nI VOTED FOR AL GORE AND JOHN KERRY.


when you still had a job, were not seriously looking, did not apply for truly career specific postings, or some similar situation?  I am thinking I may need to find another job (my company may close) bt don't want to just jump ship.  I'm curious how well it works to use online job finder sites and just let them match up and forward resumes.  Anyone had any experience, and specifically luck with this?  I'd appreciate any stories you have.

It's definitely a good idea to send out resumes as early as possible, it allows you to get a better feel of the job market and what your value is in that market.  Out of my last six jobs (ranging from $30K to $90k/year), I found four through head-hunters and internal references, two from Internet websites.  In general, the higher up you go, the less likely you'll find the job on line.  One nice feature is that most job websites will allow you to filter out certain companies from seeing your resume which will conceal your job-search activities.  \n\nWhile most larger companies have their own internal job posting websites, more and more companies are utilizing Internet websites such as Monster.com, Hotjobs.com, Dice.com, Craigslist.com given the low transaction costs.  But they get inundated with resumes and cover letters so it's difficult to make yourself stand out.  \n\nMy recommendation is that if you're serious about looking, do a more active and targeted search.  That means trying to find internal references (or use a service such as Linkedin.com) that will hopefully make your resume stand out a bit more.  My thought is that any job you take is a substantial commitment so you need to take an active role, even if the job search is just exploratory.  \n\nChecking company websites for job postings is sometimes a better solution than relying on Monster.com, etc...  It shows you did some research on the company and have an active interest.  Plopping your resume on Monster and waiting for responses is pretty passive and companies normally prefer more motivated candidates.  Also make sure to send out a cover letter with company specific reasons as to why they should hire you.  \n\nThe job market is improving for job-seekers but if you want to land the RIGHT job (as opposed to any job), you'll need to actively do some work to make yourself stand out.  Like most things in life, the results depend on how much effort you put into the task.\n-------------------------------------\nIf you have concerns that your resume doesn't represent you well enough, that's where your cover letter comes into play.    The cover letter is your opportunity to tell about the person behind the resume, why you're the right person for the job and why they should hire you.  As someone changing careers or industries, you need to actively sell that message which is why I don't recommend just passively posting your resume.  The cover letter and taking initiative to find the right company will help with that transition.  Good luck!


(1)\nA couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?" \n(2)\nSherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. \nSome hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." \n"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes" replies Watson. \n"And what do you deduce from that?" \nWatson ponders for a minute. \n"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?" \nHolmes is silent for a moment.

well, that of course depends on what the parents themselves will allow if watching that influences the kids' behavior, because many kids WILL imitate what they see. if the parents want to better control all the ruckus that kids will most likey be demonstrating, then maybe WWE shouldn't be something that should be viewed. of course, WWE is not the only thing that kids might want to imitate.. there is also other shows, video games, daddy's beer induced rage...


The whole point of an assignment like this is to strengthen your skills at research, interpretation, analysis and reasoning.  If someone gave you this information, they would only be doing you a dis-service in your education.  I think that is perhaps why you did not get any responses.

goldie bell! Thats meant to be your porn name or something isnt it?


which chemicals give stain resistant properties to a paint?The desired paint should not permanantly combine with stains.It should be easily washable,with out peeling the paint film off & this paint should have good stain resistant properties against shoe polish,lipstick,tea stains & crayons.what are the binders that can be used for water based paints, best suits for this purpose?

You can use acrylics which are naturally stain resistant or add a finish such as scotchguard or other flurocarbon polymers.


Do have something against exposed celebrities?

No, I am not disturbed that someone like you would want to know something about me.  So go ahead, expose me to yourself and I will forgive you.


My daughter is joining the Air force, she can't do regular pushups only the ones on her knees.....will this fly or will she have to gain that upper body strength to pass boot?

I am a FORMER Marine. The physical fitness regs are not the same as for male recruits. The USMC does recognize that there are REAL differences in physiology in males and females and cannot expect the same results to the same physical tasks. If the Corps sees this, I know the USAF does.Don't fret, Mom, they'll get her up to speed.

I've noticed recent flash ads with clean edges when everlayed over the content of a site. How is this done?

You need to get a PaintShop program to create those kind of transparent images. \n\nI recommend Paintshop Pro or Ulead Cool 3D for text images.

(Don't Fear) The Reaper... by Blue Oyster Cult.


Some set of questions are as follows. \n\nA). Are there any thoeries that support how gravity evolved or came into existence?\n\nB). WHy all the heavenly bodies "spin" - self-rotation? \n\nC). Even if we find extra-terrestrial living entities elsewhere, do you think we will ever visit them and live with them and "expand" our "living space"?

A.) In his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein developed a mathematical description of gravity—one that links space to time and mass to energy in a fundamentally geometrical fashion. In other words, mass(-energy) shapes space(-time) instead of acting like a “force” in the traditional Newtonian sense.  (Thus, in Newton’s description of gravity, one would say that all bodies exert an attractive gravitational force on one another. In Einstein’s conception, one would say that all bodies change the underlying geometry of space-time in a way that causes them to be attracted to one another.)  Thus, our best understanding of gravity is that it’s a fundamental property of space-time to be “warped” by the presence of mass(-energy). So gravity is simply a property of space-time, and most likely, it came into existence at the same time.  (One caveat: curvature or warping really only provides an analogy to what the equations tell us. If you want to imagine the effects of an object on its surrounding space-time, then you can think of it as changing the shape of space-time in its vicinity. The distortion is real—we can measure its effects—but the images that are often presented of flexible sheets of space-time with bowling balls or marbles rolling around on them, for example, simply present analogous situations.)\n\nB.)  Spinning is a common attribute of objects in the Universe because the way things form virtually always leaves them in rotation, and once things get started rotating, it’s hard to make them stop.  It’s not intuitively obvious, but if you take, say, a cloud of gas and dust collapsing to form a planetary system, then averaging all the random motions of the particles will leave you with some tiny element of rotation.  As the collapse takes place, any rotation will be magnified, so you end up with planets revolving around their parent stars, and planets themselves rotating on their axes.\n\nC.)  It’s doubtful that we’ll ever acquire much in the way of interstellar real estate, simply because the distances involved are so great.  Our best hope is to carry on radio communication with them, but even at the speed of light, it would take decades or centuries for radio signals to travel between us and the stars currently within our range of communication.\n\n\nRyan Wyatt\nRose Center for Earth & Space\nNew York, New York

A friend had Hodgkins in the 80s and now has breast cancer.  She was told at one time that she wouldn't be able to have radiation again... can she?

Yes, but I would not. Radiation will just cause more pain and suffering, there are better alternatives. For more information on better cures visit the site below.


I've got a fairly recent laptop with a 100 gig 4200 RPM drive and an external 250 gig 7200 RPM drive. Both came preformatted in FAT32. From what I've read, FAT32 is older and slower technology though. Is it worth converting?\n\nWhat would be the pros and cons?\n\nThanks!

FATxx is an old file system that is simple, well-documented, readable from a large number of OSs, and supported by a wide range of tools.\n\nNTFS is a newer file system that is feature-rich, proprietary, undocumented at the raw bytes level, and subject to change - even within Service Packs of the same OS version.  \n\n\nNTFS may be faster...\n   - smaller RAM footprint as avoids large FAT held in RAM\n   - indexed design more efficient for many files per directory\n   - small file data embedded in dir level, avoids seek to data chain\n   - above factors make fragmentation less onerous than for FATxx\n   - 4k cluster size matches processor's natural paging size\n...or slower...\n   - extra overhead of security checks, compression, encryption\n   - small clusters may fragment data cluster chains\n\nNTFS may be safer...\n   - transaction rollback cleanly undoes interrupted operations\n   - file-level permissions can protect data against malware etc.\n   - automatically "fixes" failing clusters on the fly (controversial)\n...or more at risk...\n   - no interactive file system checker (a la Scandisk) for NTFS\n   - no maintenance OS for NTFS\n   - malware can drill right through NTFS protection, e.g. Witty\n   - transaction rollback does not preserve user data\n   - transaction rollback does not help other causes of corruption\n   - more limited range of maintenance tools\n   - automatically "fixes" failing clusters on the fly (controversial)\n\nNTFS may be more space-efficient...\n   - smaller cluster size than FAT32 above 8G\n   - may include data of small files within the directory level\n   - NTFS's bitmap structure is smaller than FAT32's dual FAT\n   - sparse files and compression can reduce data space usage\n...or less so...\n   - NTFS has large MFT structure\n   - larger per-file directory metadata space\n\n\nYou are obliged to use FATxx if you need access from DOS mode or Win9x, e.g. in a dual-boot scenario.\n\nYou are obliged to use NTFS if you need support for files over 4G in size, hard drives over 137G in size, and/or you need to implement some of NT's security management that devolves down to NTFS.

Dude, this ain't no classified personal ad agency. Get yourself out and about. Internet will not be the best and smart choice to find a bride. \nIt's dumb idian men like you that are suffering from what I would like to call the repercussions of killing innocent baby girls. Your society in India deserves this hardship of finding a girl, so like instead of asking online, why don't you hike up to Mount Everest and make yourself into a media icon, then the girls will come loser.


Some answers are not correct and are then thrown to the community for endorsement,can we  have a better system to verify the accuracy of the answer.It now appeared that answers are simply given for the sake of 2 points at time without any relavent.\nPlease do not allow the system to deteriorate!!!

I totally agree with you. Many a times, serious, genuine questions get no responses at all or get answers like 'sorry, I don't know'. Ask a silly question and within minutes you'll receive hords of silly answers.\nApparently, people are using this site, not for getting answers to questions, but to have some fun.\nMost of my questions do go unanswered. But, I wouldn't say the whole system has deteriorated as I'm still managing to get some decent, appropraite answers to some of my queries. I guess what has happened was inevitable.


i'm working on a college report about how does a split unit air conditioner unit works..so..i need to get more info on how it works.

Mr. Slim is a split-ductless air-conditioning system. If you are familiar with a central system, you have the basic idea of what a split system is: an outdoor condensing unit and an indoor evaporator unit. The basic difference between the two is that with the central system the evaporator unit is typically found in the attic and has ductwork branched off to the different rooms in your house. With Mr. Slim the evaporator is actually in the room being air-conditioned. The indoor unit has a quiet fan that blows across a cold aluminum coil while in the air-conditioning mode. The indoor unit is usually a wall-mounted type, and this unit is connected directly to the outdoor unit by copper tubing and control and power wiring. In the outdoor unit a compressor cycles refrigerant to and from the indoor and outdoor units, and the room air is cooled or heated based on the direction the refrigerant flows between the two.\n\nMore detailed explanation:\nMr. Slim employs the same mechanical components as any basic air-conditioning system whose interactions cause the process of evaporation to occur. Mr. Slim is a split-ductless design, which simply means the indoor unit is separated from the outdoor unit and is connected by a gas and a liquid refrigerant line. The outdoor unit is considered the hot-side during the air-conditioning process. The cold-side unit is located indoors. In the heating process the compressor reverses this operation, and the heat energy is evaporated in the outdoor unit. Then the indoor unit collects this heat energy while a fan blows air over the indoor coil and distributes the warm air into the room.\n\nAir-conditioning Basics:\nThe process of air-conditioning is dictated by simple physics. Through the evaporation process heat is absorbed by the aluminum fan coil in the indoor evaporator unit and is removed from the room by the gaseous refrigerant. The heated refrigerant (pressured by the compressor) flows into the outdoor unit’s aluminum coils. Here a large fan blows across this coil to discharge the heat energy. The liquid refrigerant is cooled by this process and is cycled back to the indoor unit where a fan blows across it and distributes the cool air into the room.\n\nMost air-conditioning systems have four mechanical components:\n1. a compressor\n2. an expansion valve or metering device\n3. an evaporator coil\n4. a blower\n5. a chemical refrigerant


as in he luvs me but he is taking the advice of his friends

You got away easy on this one. Find a new guy.


i diddnt get my period for two months now it came but there are big clogs coming out of me

Go see your doctor, that could be dangerous and compromise your health


Include ship class, speed, weaponry, any aircraft/troops carried, and all technology (e.g. sonar or whatever). Also include the ideal name for it.

With operated-gun turrets and man held machine guns like on the deck sort of like the ones in the movie Pearl Harbor that the African American used. You know, that guy who did the Radio movie as well. There should be at least two air craft even though its not a carrier and a battleship. Two mini man subs.... Sonar, radar, everything. missiles but why do you want to know? Hmm? I looked at your answering history and you're obsessed with war man. Of course the above is just something I made up.

my husband had a vesectamy on dec.23rd he took in his first sample in march it was neg. he took in the second one on may 16th it was negative...but i am still late?  i feel like i am going to start off and on but nothing happens? whats the problem?

well you are either more than 3 months pregnant or have been sleeping with someone else!\n\notherwise dont stress about it \n\nfor goodness sake get a pregnancy test and ease your mind!!!


It's been nine days. The first 3 it was just spotting, the next 2 days heavy like a normal period, and now spotting again. It is different from my period. My period is supposed to come yesterday but has yet to arrive in its normal form. I missed two dark blue 'active' pills in a row. I had sex on the days i missed the pill so I also want to know whats the best time to test. I had been feeling ill and when I went to the doctor's she took a blood test that came back negative, but that was only 2 days after i had sex without any protection so its possile to still be pregnant, right?

Yes its possible for you to still be pregnant but *very* unlikely. Please be careful with your pills, the second you start forgetting them, is the second your period starts messing up. I've had this happen alot. Soemtimes I will mess up my pills and my period will be almost nonexistent, or it will come grossly heavy for ***3 TIMES*** longer then it should. And thats never any fun for so many reasons.\n\nI would suggest you get back onto your pills and make sure you take them like you should be!!


He comes out every time and defends the Iraq War,he then makes excuses as to why we are there,then he talks about immigration and keeps repeating that it's not amnesty,it's the same speach he's been using,and no one believes him anymore,why do the TV networks carry such reruns?

No,i do NOT even believe MOST of what he says anymore,so WHY BOTHER!!! Just look at his so called,"guest worker" program!!! WHAT A CROCK!!!! Does he REALLY think people In the U.S. are THAT STUPID??!!!!"Guest worker" is just ANOTHER NAME FOR AMNESTY!!!!!!!!!


I am caring for the home that was built by my parents 40 years ago. There was NO neighborhood association when they bought the land and built the house. Dad participated in creating a "VOLUNTARY" group of neighbors that would help pay for snow removal, etc. Subsequently, a formalized neighborhood association was formed that has been mandating dues payment ( annual: $400); they are forming a new committee to RE-PLAT the neighborhood, and create rules that allow the association to put a lien on homes for which no dues are paid.  Since my family were original owners when the neighborhood was developed, and they were owners PRIOR TO any formal association was formed, CAN  the existing association force me to pay dues, and can they RE-CREATE the plat and force and ENforce dues payment?

It depends on the state laws; where are you?  \nDid they sign a contract when they joined the association?\nDid the assocation get included on the title of the house at some point?  \n\nYou may need to consult an attorney specializing in real estate law.


who cried in the last 5 mins last night, and what do you think will happen tonight..

I couldnt' stand what Izzy was doing!! There was Denny looking up at her like an adoring Saint Bernard dog, how sad...\n\nWell, I think Burk will live, but since he's the only heart surgeon that hospital has, Denny will die.\n\nI also think that McDreamy will tell Meredith he loves her, or she will tell him, and it will end there, with you left wondering if they get together or not...


I am looking for something funny, not harmful though or painful or anything that would make them mad.  Or practical jokes to play on college instructors, other family members too.  I am just in the mood to do something funny!  (hopefully without pissing anybody off.  lol)

1- Take their deodorant and roll it up, cut half of it off then roll it back down, fill it up with cream cheese. Remember to round off the top to make it look normal. \n2-If your sink has a spray nozzle then use a rubber band and strap the handle down then point the sprayer in the direction where they will be standing. When they turn on the faucet they will get soaked.


I have heard so much on the news that I am so curious to hear what people really think!!

yes I think that they should be able to. those who argue that it is not natural, look at dolphins. dolphins are bisexual. humans are not the only ones who are attracted to the same sex. if it makes the couple happy who is anyone else to say if it is right or wrong? and for those who argue with not being able to reproduce, think on this: there are thousands of men who donate to sperm banks each year. why not use some of it to artifically inseminate so that a lesbian couple can have children? and for a gay couple, why not adopt? there are so many children who need homes, let a gay couple adopt them and give them a home. and there is nothing that says that a gay or lesbian couple who has children will have gay or lesbian kids, or be bad parents. my parents are straight, and I am bisexual. if anything the child will have a better understanding of the gender of the parents. \nI think that people who oppose the idea of same sex marriges are just close minded and afraid. they will legalize it eventually. those who oppose it are just prolonging the inevitable. the gay and lesbian community is growing at such a rate that they will make it legal just to get votes. but I support the cause, and I think that it is natural.


i am a silly chinese guy\nam i better than japaness

yeah! i think you're better than japanese.


I don't know anybody here and would like to go out meet people hang out mabe have some fun / or not??? Moved here from Daytona Beach Fl. don't know a soul around, like girls...

Someone told me that if you run the day after consuming copious amounts of alcohol the night before is really bad because it thins your blood down and makes your kidneys work too hard. Does anyone have any evidence to support this claim? Can it really be detrimental? Personally I feel so much better the morning after if I get out and do some exercise. Am I going to end up with kidney damage?

NO! You tend to feel much better when you do anything after a few drinks. I was told by a personal trainer that if he drinks too much he runs home afterwards cause it avoids a hangover.


ok, so i totally suck at math. i'm in college and taking elementry algebra-and failing. my professor said i must make at least a 81 to pass with a c. i know i won't-i don't understand the material. i've been to tutors and everything. well, my final is today and i can't figure out the first step in dividing polynomials or monomials or any thing. anyone know of a good website that will at least help me get one answer right. i've signed up for this course next fall but i want to work on it through the summer. so any ideas were to go would be helpful. or if you think you can explain it to me-wich i doubt. PLEASE HELP. if i can't figure it out over the summer tnen i'll never pass.

Ok its too late to help you with your finals but take a look at purplemath.com. Perhaps it may help you a bit. Alternately, I teach math online and if you are really interested in improving over the summer,we can work out something.\nAll the Best


I bought and pd for furniture that was a final sale.Owner told me it was in the store b/c I was taking it cash and carry. The owner did not have it in the store and called minutes after I left the store informing me that I would have to wait on it to be delivered. Pissed, because I felt I had no choice I waited. The day of delivery, I recieved no furniture.I called store and they informed me they were trying to buy it from another store or go out of town to get it. I stopped paymt on check, and days later when they showed up I refused delivery. My bank issued me a crdit due to situatuion. The store refunded $600 but kept 130 for restock fee. My bank is now chargeing me. I plan to sue! Do I hv a case, I feel the owner knew he didn't have the stuff in store but wanted to make the sale. Who can I reoprt this to, or get help. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM REST SHOPPE IN CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS!

You really wouldnt have a case.  Even though the manager didnt explain to you that there was a restocking fee, normally when you purchase something that big, they charge a 15% re-stocking fee.  Either because they will loose money from a future sale or because they have to pay overtime to someone who have to put it back.  Check the papers you signed for the furniture.  It should state in there that there is a 15% re-stocking fee for returned items.  If not, then you will have a case.


He threw it down in dampier's face game 5...and did it again in game six...finally he is starting to play like his days back in dallas

I was worried after not seeing the Finley of old when the playoffs first started but since the Dallas Fans disrespected him he has been on a tear.  Ginobili and Finley won game 6.  The spurs are sure to win game 7.  No more home losses now that they are warmed up.


i am 13 years old in the 7grade and my bolyfriend got into an fright i try to call him too see was he okay but he did not answer his phonce before ya say i am  to young to have an  ya need to be quiet cause ya not my mom ya dont tell me if i am too young to have a boyfriend my mom is the only one who can if i have any  promblem with that email me at brittneyjones15@yahoo.com and plus she said i can have an boyfriend.

loose a few pounds other then exercising? I need to loose just a few pounds in the course of the next few months.

1. Increase your water intake to at least 2liters a day\n2. Eat little or no meat\n3. Cut back on refined sugars\n4. Don't do the 3 big meals a day, try 4 or 5 small snack size meals, this will increase you metabolism and less fat will be stored from it.\n5. Take the stairs! Look for the little places in your life that can add calorie burn. Instead of an escalator or elevator, take the stairs. Don't drive through the bank, go in.l It actually makes a difference.\n6. Avoid fast and fried foods, anything with hydrogenated oils. \n7. When you have craving to crunch go for vegetables instead of chips. \n\nGood Luck!

I THINK ALCHEMY EXISTS BECAUSE I WATCH FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST ALOT AND ALSO THERE IS A SITE THAT SELLS ALCHEMY BOOKS!!!!!!\nBUT I CANT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE SITE.\nSORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!!!!!!!!

It does. Just not how you think.\nThere are two types of Alchemy, sometimes blended. Sometimes having nothing to do with each other.\n\n1:Spiritual Alchemy\nThose that practice this belive that they can do anything if they practice and do it right. They try to obtain inner peace and resort to "spells and charms" (what they call "nothing more than a prayer") to try to mold their spirit.\n\n2:Physical Alchemy\nThis is the steryotype alchemy. The old guy in the corner of the room surrounded by books and has a bunsen burner. But, this is not how it is. They belived that, if they obeyed the laws of the universe (Basics) that they could turn stuff into other things.\n\n3:Where they blend\nThey all belived in the same principles as "Equivalent Exchange (A real belief by them, FYI)" and "Knowledge is Power (The one with the most is the most powerful)." They also belived the same things, such as "Trying to see the world as God does."\n\nHope you got some info!\n-Hytegia

we'd lived together for 15 years, no kids, but when she filed a case against her boss for sexual harassment and acts of lasciviousness, she've changed, hating males including me. Our sex life ruined coz she felt harassed from my advances.I respect and honor her and never forced or obliged her.The most i see her naked is when she request a full body massage,but now she dont want it anylonger.I've read somewhere she might be suffering PSTD or post stress trauma disorder. I have suffered greatly but cant decide whether i abandon her plight by the divorce or not. Her relatives ask me not to.We work together in her sex harassment etc case.By now, we see its other like mere friends. She not involved with anyone, me neither.A professional counselor was recommended, but we cant afford the fee.

Maybe she just got bored. I know I already am

does prime time america.com supply information on purchasing of shares

The question has several answers depending on how it is interpreted. For example, mutual funds allow you to buy shares that track the S&P 500. One might consider buying shares in one of those mutal funds as buying shares on the stock market. Fidelity and Vanguard both sell these and others.\n\nIf on the other hand you are talking about an on line stock broker, there are quite a few. Again Fidelity which I think is excellent, TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, Scottrade, and  others.


like u could put people walk them into houses drive them aroud the block

y is that ques in this catagory how putting it in the games catagory it makes a lot of sense wen u think bout it its something we like to call common sense do u have it?


Here's what I'd like to do: I'm looking for about 400-500 people with different experience in the stock market. You will then be asked what stocks you are buying and selling. The results will be added and emailed to everyone. The goal is to see if the sample group follows what the market does. Tell me what you think and if your interested leave your email. Thanks

i don't buy stocks, i invest in mutual funds. more efficient that way.

How far does information of what is happening and what is going to happen helps in building better communities?

People were not meant to live in big cities, separated by the hum and buzz of running from here to there.  We were meant to live in small communities, helping one another, reaching out and becoming a family like institution.\n\nCommunication within the community is very important for it is in communication that we express our wants, needs, desires, and are reaching out to either help in the aid of this manifestation or for help in manifesting it into being.\n\nWorking together, creates an energy that, when strengthened by the ties of community is hard to break or to undo.\n\nPeople in small towns/communities, will often, even under the circumstances of some not liking others, pull together in the event of a need, putting aside all differences.


he 's talking wt me about the girl he love....i can't stand that & i can't say don't tell me abt her.....\ni really don't know what i have to do ?

Maybe you need to back away b/c your sense of judgement is clouded by feelings for him and you are not open to having just a friendship with him yet! You need to tell him how you feel and just back up


My professor asked for it.. And if i do him the favour i cud be rewarded... \nSo plz kinda hurry up
