Is it true that the American government, when it was first formed, deliberately changed the spelling of words (like taking the U out of words like Colour) because it wanted to be different from the Brits?

I think it was Noah Webster who when writing his dictionary decided to simplify several spellings in the English Language.  \nSome took, some didn't.  Some even changed the way Brits and Canadians and Aussies spell the word (musick is now music for instance).  \n\nI have never heard of a concentrated effort by the American Government to differentiate their language from British English and it doesn't sound like something that a limited federal government (pre-civil war) would really want to do.     More likely, English, given its ability to evolve quickly branched off because people liked the spelling in the US and a different spelling in the UK.


I am a gun supporter and i am a large fan of teh 2nd amendment, yet there are alot of cons to having them in the country. They way i look at it is, "i would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6." \nHow do u guys see this?

Gun control is all about hitting the target.


state what u would like your man to have anything is possible but plz remain realistic...

"I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life. \n\nI am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man.\n\nI am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.\n\nI need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden.\n\nI am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.\n\nI am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive... he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a help-mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."\n\nThis was in an e-mail that I recieved. I think it pretty much sums it up for me.


its armenians made genocide in city Hojali aganist azeri civil people with the help of soviet soldiers

You would not expect the Armenians to come out and say yes we killed a bunch of Azerbajanis because we don't like them.  Just like the Turks won't say they killed Armenians because they don't like them.  The whole area is made up of violent groups from each country, and they are xenophobic and hate the other ethnic groups.  The governments all support the violent people hoping that they will be able to gain more power and land.


Well the things I need are stated in the question.  Please send my internet adresses or just information, thanks, its for a reaserch paper!!

Check out the source, below, I hope I have helped.


Hips.  Oh, man, hips.  I want a girl that looks like a girl, not a 12-year-old boy.\nA smile.  A smile that is never very far away.\nA little bit of a tomboy.  They know what guys like.\nIntellect.  Converse nimbly.  Don't let me get away with comments that we'll both be ashamed of.\nOh, yeah... be very interested and proficient at sex.  VERY!\nInitiate foreplay every once in a while.


They already broke the laws of the land, my coming here illegal. Then demand rights when they are not citizens. Even if they are good workers still doesn't justify they are criminals. If other people wanted to come here legally and were turn down. Why should illegals have special treatment?\n\nJohn 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the DOOR into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a THIEF and a ROBBER.

Illegals should not be allowed to stay.  I do not know anything about the bible but I do know about taxes, our welfare system, our criminal justice system, lack of jobs, abuse of our social services  and that people in this country need to speak our English language.  They should not be allowed to stay, they certainly should not have special treatment.


My husband and I want to do something different for our 6 year anniversary, something different and alot of fun.

Rent a hotel room, order room service, light some candles, play soft music, give  each other massages and go from there.\nJust enjoy the peace and quite of being together, away from home.\nOh, yeah - turn the damn cellphone off, too.


I know what it is and all. But I'm debating if I should see a dermatologist or just try shampooing, as I've been doing, but not correctly.If you've had it, how did you get rid of it?

I had to go to a dermatologist. I had it ever since I was a young teenager (was 30 years old when finally saw dermatologist) and he helped me with it. They can give you a prescription medication to help it. It eventually made mine go away.


I am really Confused About my future. I will be graduated In 1.5 Month as a "Dentist" and i have to possibility, go to Canada, spend another 4years for dental bord and complementary courses and when i am 29-30years old I start Working and i know that I have to spend A lot till then, OR  I go to England and Work and live there as A dentist and start another step of my life from Now when I am 25!

Lemme see, rush to begin a long working life of dealing with people's bad teeth, or put that off for a while and remain a stoodent.... Hmmmm.... a tough one! lol!\n\nI say forget Canada, there is a shortage of Dentists in England.  You sound ready to start that new chapter, and it's better and easier to make a fresh start when you are younger.    What an adventure -- so far away and so within your grasp!  You will be young enough to make a success of it and young enough to be able to quit and go home and still be able to make a good life for yourself.\n\nYou know in your heart that you're done with the formal student aspect, the rising debt and the lost time.  When will you start making money -- when you have paid back all your debt aged 45?  That sucks badly.  You will be wanting by that age to have a large German Car, wife, couple of kids, big house in a leafy suburb and maybe a yacht too (to get away from the large German wife, lol!).\n\nEngland is getting into cosmetic dentistry in a BIG way due to TV makeover shows.  Even just teeth whitening in England will make you rich beyond averice.  You will retire young.\n\nCome on, 25 is ready.  You are ready.  Your life awaits! Time to get your teeth into something (!)


I am a 15 yo boy he is 16. I dont want to lose him as a friend, but I love him and want more too.

Tell him camly. Don't rush through it. But first tell him how you want to be friends no matter what. Then try and be relaxed and just tell him straight forward. It's risky b/c you might lose your friend but that's a chance you've got to take.Good luck


A guy travels from Manchester to Bristol, a distance of 160 miles. He estimates that his average speed will be 50 mph.\n\nAt what time should this guy leave manchester to arrive in bristol at 11:30 a.m.?\n(BTW I know the answer, but do u?)

distance = 160miles\nave. speed = 50mph\n\n160/50 = 3.2 hours or 3hours and 12 minutes\n\nfor the guy to arrive at exactly 11:30am\n\n(11:30) - (3hours12minutes) = 8:18am\n\nANSWER: 8:18am


Well I was on depo for going on 8 years b4 the Dr. Said anything to me about bone loss.  That was in 2005. I was still taking the shot with a calcium supplement.  I just recently decided to stop my injections.  I just think 9 years is just to long for a drug that could damage my body in the long run.  I am now looking for a new birth control and being very careful...NOT HAVING SEX...Until then\n\nIf you are on the shot be sure to take Calcium Supplement.  More so after the age 25!!!!  Be sure to check with your Dr.


I've taken phentermine before, it works great except I have insomnia and eventually the fatigue and headaches get the best of me.  Ofcourse I know nothing replaces exercise and healthy eating, i'm really trying.  and I do know when I get off them i run the risk of regaing the weight....would hoodia be safer and not cause the insomnia and other side effects of phentermine?

There's no regulation for Hoodia, no proof that you're getting the part of the plant which actually causes weight loss, or that it's prepared the proper way. And only ONE company owns the patent on the ingredient and on the ways to extract it from the plant.\n"All natural" is a bogus marketing term with absolutely no meaning or revelevance.  Nightshade is all natural and it's poisonous. Mud is all natural too.  So is dog poop.  (Silly examples just to get the point across.)\nMore on Hoodia:\n"Phytopharm has spent more than $20 million on hoodia research. (They own the patent on P57, the active ingredient in hoodia.) "Eventually pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (makers of Viagra) caught wind of hoodia and became interested in developing a hoodia drug. In 1998, Phytopharm sub-licensed the rights to develop p57 to Pfizer for $21 million." (And Pfizer walked away from it without developing a useful drug--that should tell you something.)\n"Only Phytopharm and its partners can use methods to specifically extract p57 from hoodia or make hoodia pills." \n\nPhentermine is an FDA approved weight loss aid which is prescribed by doctors, and while taking it you are monitored to be sure there are no adverse effects.   There are also other prescription weight loss drugs; one of those might be better for you--ask your doctor.


HI, i relli need help. i want to know about the bio economical costs and benefits of recycling and waste disposal industries

What is the solid waste management hierarchy?\n\nPyramid depicting the solid waste management hierarchy. Source reduction is at the top, followed by Reuse, then Recycling/Composting, then Incineration, then Landfilling.The solid waste management hierarchy (shown in the pyramid below) ranks the most preferable ways to address solid waste. Source reduction or waste prevention, which includes reuse, is the best approach, followed by recycling. Waste that cannot be prevented or recycled can be incinerated or landfilled according to proper regulations.\n\nWhy is source reduction at the top of the hierarchy? Because the best approach to managing solid waste is to avoid creating it in the first place. This means reducing the amount of trash you discard and reusing containers and products instead of throwing them away.\n\nOnce waste is created, recycling, which includes composting, is one of the most effective methods of reducing the amount of material in the waste stream. If waste cannot be recycled, incineration or sanitary landfilling are the next preferred methods of treatment.\n\nIs recycling worthwhile?\n\nRecycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century. Recycling, which includes composting, diverted over 72 million tons of material away from landfills and incinerators in 2003, up from 34 million tons in 1990—doubling in just 10 years. Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. As a matter of fact, collecting recyclable materials is just the first step in a series of actions that generate a host of financial, environmental, and societal returns. There are several key benefits to recycling. Recycling:\n\n    * Protects and expands U.S. manufacturing jobs and increases U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace.\n    * Reduces the need for landfilling and incineration.\n    * Saves energy and prevents pollution caused by the extraction and processing of virgin materials and the manufacture of products using virgin materials.\n    * Decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.\n    * Conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.\n    * Helps sustain the environment for future generations.\n\nClick here to learn more about the benefits of recycling.\n\nRecycling not only makes sense from an environmental standpoint, but also makes good financial sense. For example, creating aluminum cans from recycled aluminum is far less energy-intensive, and less costly, than mining the raw materials and manufacturing new cans from scratch.\n\nBecause recycling is clearly good for human health, the nation's economy, and the environment, many people wonder why the federal government does not simply mandate recycling. The primary reason is that recycling is a local issue—the success and viability of recycling depends on a community's resources and structure. A community must consider the costs of a recycling program, as well as the availability of markets for its recovered materials. In some areas, not enough resources exist to make recycling an economically feasible option. State governments can assess local conditions and set appropriate recycling mandates. For information about recycling in your state, contact your EPA regional office, or your state agency.\n\nWhat costs my community more—recycling or throwing trash away?\n\nImage of garbage can and recycling bin, with dollar signs floating above themThe answer to this question will vary depending on where you live, and comparing recycling program and waste disposal costs is a complex undertaking. Disposal fees for landfills, waste transfer stations, and incinerators vary across the country, but in many areas, particularly on the heavily populated East Coast, they are significant expenses. Costs and returns for recycling programs also vary greatly, depending on the local resources and demand for the recovered materials.\n\nRecycling does cost mone


If I'm not mistaken, heroin is not legal in any form;  unlike medical marijuana or other legal forms of illegal drugs.

There is a happy mix for dying patients..Brompton cocktail.\n\nIt is a mix of morphine, cocaine and alcohol.  I have been around a few terminally ill patients.  I do not know the amounts I just know of it.  There is also morphine and the patch of phentalol (I think), spelled wrong.   Here it is:  transdermal phentanol patch.  But the first one is probably what you are looking for.  \n\nMy 99 year old grandma got the morphine (sublingual) and the patch.  I don't know if it helped her but it helped me to sleep.  SHe screamed all night from either pain or fear, I will never know.\n\nI do not think heroin is a good choice for anything.


The past two months my period was heavy for two days and then just stopped.  Usually it would last 4-7 days.  I haven't been on birth control for about 2 months.  Could it be a side effect of that or is there a possibility that I am pregnant?

Your body may be adjusting to being off of b.c. pills. Usually that would mean irregular bleeding and longer periods. Hope your are ready for motherhood because that sure is a big possibility with the sign and symptoms you have given.

I've found the following information online which to me suggests that a no contest plea does not constitute a conviction.\n\nConvict - to find or prove to be guilty;\n\nA "no-contest" plea — also known as "nolo contendere" — admits no guilt but acknowledges there is enough evidence to result in conviction. \n\nA traditional nolo contendere plea is a refusal to admit guilt;\n\nIn law, a conviction is the verdict which results when a court of law finds a defendant guilty of committing a crime.\n\nA no contest plea can be entered by criminal defendants facing a realistic prospect of conviction, who do not wish to undergo a trial, and yet are not willing to admit to the offense charged.

Your answers are correct. It simply means, sentence me as though I am guilty but I am not admitting I am guilty. And yes, its a conviction on your record.


Please give me some examples [or better, even stories] to support it because I am going to use this topic for a DEBATE =] Thank You!

Wow, dude, you expect a lot. Ever heard of research?\n\nA few ideas:\n\n1. Given that it's virtually impossible to control the movements of all the people all of the time, you have to provide them with a certain degree of freedom anyway. True, if you kept someone in a box for the rest of their life, it's pretty safe to say he won't be committing any atrocities or breaking any laws. But since that in and of itself would be immoral, there has to be some degree of freedom.\n\n2. If people are allowed to make decisions about the direction of their own lives and are allowed to pursue happiness, they will usually be less likely to break laws or try to hurt others.\n\n3. An example: a child who is never allowed to make choices for himself never learns to make them and grows up to be a problem. A child who is brought up lovingly, rewarded for good choices, educated, and slowly but surely given the freedom to make its own choices usually makes much better moral choices.\n\n4. Societies with less personal freedom do not necessarily enjoy a clear moral advantage. For example, in certain areas of Pakistan (which is a conservative Muslim country), there is less promiscuity because the laws against promiscuity are so harsh and personal freedoms are so limited, especially for women. On the other hand, particularly violent crimes are often directed against women. Mukhtaran Bibi was gang-raped in a conservative Pakistani village as retribution for a crime her younger brother never committed. In fact, her brother was sexually molested by three men himself. (See link before for more info). It's not uncommon in societies with strict moral codes and corporal punishment for the weakest members of the society (women, the poor, etc...) to be the victim of oppression, crime, and torture.\n\n5. Sometimes a society that reacts too strongly against a certain behavior actually encourages it. When something is forbidden, some people will naturally find it that more compelling.\n\n6. Some people have a tendency to come down very hard when it comes to OTHER peoples' sins but not on their own. For example, although the Bible comes down way harder on divorce and remarriage than on homosexuality, most Christians openly despise homosexuals but don't criticize divorced people at all. When you couple this hypocrisy with a society that has highly repressive moral standard, the result is often violence: for example, men who may (or may not) have repressed feelings of homosexuality beating an openly gay man to death. An example of this is in Wyoming when Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten and left for dead by two homophobic men who, feeling themselves "morally superior" to a homosexual, committed a particularly vile crime. More info on Matthew Shepard below (or you can google him yourself.)\n\nWell, that's a few ideas. Hope that helps.


Im taking a Biology class in Spanish and need help translating this word to English.... Also it would be really helpfull if you could tell me where can i find a drawing of it with its parts?? Thank you...

English term or phrase: stomates \nThe parts of a typical leaf include the upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll, the vascular bundle(s) (veins), and the stomates.  \nAs for pictures this is all I found:\nhttp://www.ftexploring.com/photosyn/chloroplast.html


I am 13. When I was young I got sexually harassed all of the time by my bio. father. At 5, I got taken away from him. At 6, my mom got married. She had another baby. My new dad was the best for about 4 years. Then, he started to hang out with his buddies at work. They started to go to the bar and he got addicted to alcohol. Now at 13, he won't even talk to me anymore. I feel like nothing to him. \nWhat do I do?

Spiritually, never put all your faith in another person, may it be your parents or friends. Instead focus on God, He will never fail you. If you believe in another world better than this one you are in, and that you will go there someday, you will learn to let go of your dark past and move on doing beautiful things in life.\n\nPractically, you need to confide in your mum and ask her to talk to your dad. He may need professional counselling. This is a adult-to-adult problem, it is way beyond your comprehension and control. Meanwhile, be patient and concentrate on your studies instead.

I dont care about losing weight. What I want to do is get into better shape. My endurence level is like at negative 100. I am limited to stay at home so any good exercises to do at home?

Try yoga at first to limber up and then move on to include step exercises.  Go for a brisk walk too after a few weeks of building your stamina.  If you have not been active in a while and if you are over weight - do things slowly so you don't burden your heart with undue stress.\n\nModify your diet!  i cut out refined sugar in my coffee....4 cups with 2 teaspoons a day was a lot and now a month later I am alittle nicer to be around says my family.

i just need to lose a little fast. a month or 2 is good uhhh ya i dont really want to like buy an online thing or pay for a place that gives you food just something i can do easily

If you contact me with your email address, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.


stop eating fatty foods and cut your portions in half it works


All my friends hate this guy and so if they know that I love him, i will be exiled from our group. So what do I do? Even if I talk to him, people will suspect something. And so, I need something that I can give to him wihtout anyone thinking about anything. Help me please!!

If you truly love him, what other people think shouldn't matter.\n\nSounds like you care more about what your 'group' thinks than you do him.\n\nThat isn't love.


its from my religion class. from christinity religion. from the book experiencing the world religion.

Let me give you a bit of background that - although is controversial - is accepted to some extent.\n\nThe first 5 books of the Bible known as the Penteteuch - were "compiled" by Moses - however, I don't agree that he wrote them all. What's accepted is that the Levites and the tribes of Israel wrote different portions - however many Biblical classes will accept that Moses "wrote" them. \n\nThey used Hebrew - in fact, most of the OT is written in Hebrew sans a few written in Aramaic. (I know Daneil was written in Aramaic)\n\nAs for where it was written - this is total conjecture and speculation. \n\nThe NT was written by the apostles - and the latter chapters following the gospel were mostly written by Paul, some Peter with the help of other apostles. \n\nThe Epistles for most part were written by Paul - and when he wrote them is pretty clear - around 50 AD. Revelation is written near 100 AD by John who wrote it on Patmos. \n\nThe NT was written in Greek. \n\nHope that helps.

Are you afraid to eat?  Genetically modified foods have indeed been available for 10 years, but children in the US are still starving.  This is not to mention all the other countries where children dying from starvation is daily reality.  The US has not used these foods to help anyone!  Why do they have to be so sneaky?  Why are not GMF's labeled as such here?  Oh wait, then perhaps consumers would not purchase the bundles of hormones and pesticides that pass as vegetables and fuit and grains.  Over the past 10 years the US government has been buying up all the seed companies.  Believe 4 companies now own about 85% of all the seeds produced in the US.  These companies have gentically modified all of the seeds they own.  A majority of the food in the US is already modified, and nobody has a choice!  These seeds not only pose a health risk to humans, they kill every living thing in their path!  That's right folks, killer seeds! PLEASE GET INFORMED!  JUST SAY NO TO GM SEEDS AND FOODS!

If you want to control a people, then control their food. They will get compliant, real quick.

i know that the value of pie is 3.14 but i need the explanation on how it arrives that value.

By definition, pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi is always the same number, no matter which circle you use to compute it. \nFor the sake of usefulness people often need to approximate pi. For many purposes you can use 3.14159, which is really pretty good, but if you want a better approximation you can use a computer to get it. Here's pi to many more digits: 3.14159265358979323846.

this guy i like who likes me says i am too young for him.when he found out i liked him he stopped talking to me,his friend said he was too shy and was afraid to talk to me.he is 17 and i am 15,do you think he really cares about our age differnce,or is it just an excuse for him to use instead of just saying he's scared to face me?

17 and 15 is ok. two years is nothing. im thinking maybe there is some peer pressure there, maybe its his friends that think your to young. my daughter had the same problem and i can tell ya..... there is plenty more guys out there that would love to call you there own. good luck sweetheart


My gf and I havent been talkin alot but me and my friend do wat me and my gf should be doin.Wel my gf and I dont really talk but I kind of like my friend mor than my gf and I wanna kinda break up wit her but she dont wanna break up cause she says she luvs me but we dont really talk so I cant go wit some 1 that wont talk wit me that much and I hate 2 b in a relationship were we never talk.So how should I break the bad news 2 my gf?and how can I ask my friend out?Help me out plzzz

First of all, your gf has to realize you can't make someone stay in a relationship the other person doesn't want to be in or love you if they don't. And if your feelings aren't there for her, there aren't there.  If you would like to save your relationship with your gf, then you probably need to cut all ties with your friend because your relationship with your friend will only get more serious.  I hope this helps!  Best regards.


just kidding...but now that you are here....how are ya doing?

I used to think that's what the Black Crowes were singing about:  "That ain't nothin' but back door lovin.'"  Turns out all the lyrics sites say it was "drugstore lovin.'"  Not quite the same thing.\n\nBut, to the topic, everything's fine here.  Hope you're well.


It really annoys me. I've been on medication several times but once I stop the heartburn recur. Endoscopy revealed that my stomach and oesophagus are good. What can I do?

I get heartburn easily too. Eat smaller meals, and eat less spicey or fried foods. Take soda (carbonated water, not Coke or Pepsi) with your meal. \n\nKeep a box of acid-relief tablets in your car in case your need them after dining out.\n\nIf this is a problem that occurs mostly at night then eat early. Give your body time to digest food before you go to bed. Also try tilting your bed upwards by placing a brick under each leg on the end that you have your head. This keeps the content of your stomach away from your oesophagus.

WARNING: many of the "get rich quick in Real Estate" deals (scams) are centered around buying tax forfeited properties. The taxing authority (the county) used to sell these properties for the amount of taxes owed, but many counties have begun selling them either at "fair market value" or by auction to the highest bidder.

I am filing jointly married. My income was $25,000 for 2005. I claimed 1 for federal. I'm in TX with no state income tax. My employer witheld $1,600. Shouldn't they have witheld something more along the lines of $2,000? What did they do, or what did I do to end up not witholding enough?  My spouse did not make much this year so ended up helping the situation, so it's nothing they did to make it bad or worse.

First of all, the "marriage penalty" is actually a married benefit now.  The tax rates are different for married couples in a positive way, as you can tell by looking at pages 65-76 of the 1040 instructions (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf).  \n\nSecond, I'm surprised that $1,600 didn't cover your taxes.  \n\nLooking up your tax in the tax table (assuming you took the standard deduction of $10,000 and the two personal exemptions you were allowed adding up to $6,400) for married filing jointly) the tax on the $8,600 of taxable income would be just $863, which is far less than the $1,600 that you say was withheld.  \n\nAnd yes, as previous answerers have mentioned, it is true that you can claim a zero on your W4, which would have given you withholding of somewhere between $1,850 and $2,000.  \n\nHowever, I think that I have proved that your empoyer did in fact pull out enough money to cover your income tax on the income you received from that employer.\n\nUnless your wife's income and other income in the return totaled over $7000 and you had no additional withholding, you should have got a refund this year.

A bathtub can be filled by the cold water faucet in 9 minutes and by the hot water faucet in 10 minutes.  The drain can empty the tub in 5 minutes.  Can the tub be filled if both faucets and the drain are open?

cold water fills 1/9 a minute\nhot water fills 1/10 a minute\n\ndrain empties 1/5 a minute\n\nAssume X is number of minutes to fill the tub.  When the tub is filled, it's 1.  So the equation will look like this.\n(1/9 + 1/10 - 1/5) * x = 1\n\nThen, solve for x,\n\n(10/90 + 9/90 - 18/90) * x = 1\n1/90 * x = 1,\n\nx = 90 minutes

i need to get my marriage terminated so that way i dont have to go through a divorce   we have only been together for three months

The Ohio annulment statute is found in Ohio Revised Code Sections 3105.31 through 3105.34.  Section 3105.31 outlines six specific circumstances under which an annulment will be granted, the least complicated of which is 3105.31(F).  This states that a marriage may be annulled if the parties have not consummated the marriage, meaning they have never had sex.  If your situation fits into any one the specific circumstances, you may file a complaint for annulment in the appropriate county.  You will want to speak with an attorney to help you file the appropriate papers.  If you are not able to file a complaint for an annulment, you may be able to file a petition for dissolution.  This is an expedited "divorce" proceeding if the parties agree on the separation of property.


alright, so my birthday is coming up and i have this complex.. there's a girl and a guy i want to invite, but the girl disgustingly throws herself on the guy (needless to say, i'm going to have to invite one or the other). i have decided on the guy- he's much better company and doesn't get other people mad at him in 3 seconds flat. my problem is that alot of people that i'm inviting are many mutual friends of ours (mine and the girl's). i don't want her there.. but i don't want to hurt her feelings. how do i do this? telling the others who were invited to keep quiet is a little obnoxious on my part. please help me if you've ever gone through this before. or even if you haven't. thanks.

You should just pull her aside by herself and be very honest with her.  If you don't, you are going to have a lot of unnecessary drama and I'm assuming that that's probably the last thing that you need or want on your birthday.  She will probably get her feelings hurt (think about how you would feel) but she will probably appreciate it a lot more coming from you instead of someone else.  Heard of the game telephone?  By the time it gets back to her it may become a situation that is totally blown out of proportion.  If she is a close friend of yours, I do like the idea of going out with her seperately, maybe with a couple other friends without the guy that way you can have the best of both worlds.  Good luck!!!

or what is eightyeight percent of twohundred and thirtyfivethousand dollars?  putting an offer in on a home but the offer 210 thousand must be less than the apraised value of 235 thousand dollars.  whom ever gives me the correct answer and explains their process so i can understand it best is the winner.

200,000 is 88% of 227,272.\n\n(100 divided by 88) then multiplied by 200,000.\n\n\nAlso,\n88% of 235,000 is 206,800\n\n(235,000 multiplied by 0.88)\n\n\nRIGHT THEN. (your amendment...)\n210,000 is 88% of 238,636\n(100 divided by 88) then multiplied by 200,000\n\nA lot of people are falling into the trap of confusing their net figures and their gross figures.  A lot of other people are just plain wrong!


Two men were drinking in a pub. Not long afterwards, 2 women walked in. The first man said, " i have 2 go.My wife and daughter are here.\nThe second man turned around and said, " I have 2 go too. My wife n daughter just arrived as well." How is this possible?

each one married the other one's daughter!


i was a atheist when i was a teenager and my aunt told me that because i said everything about God was fake that i can not be saved now do you think she is right

Jesus said no man (or woman) can come to me except my Father draw him. John 6:44. If God is calling you then you can repent. Blasphemy of the holy spirit won't be forgiven. God would respect someone who questioned His existence but then proved it more so then someone who just say they believe it just cause they were taught it. Hang in there your on the right track!


VPN is Virtual Private Network. I need all information about VPN. Just send the basic configurations and commands and with scenarios.

(VPN) The use of encryption in the lower protocol layers to provide a secure connection through an otherwise insecure network, typically the Internet. VPNs are generally cheaper than real private networks using private lines but rely on having the same encryption system at both ends. The encryption may be performed by firewall software or possibly by routers.\n\nLink-level (layer 2 and 3) encryption provides extra protection by encrypting all of each datagram except the link-level information. This prevents a listener from obtaining information about network structure. While link-level encryption prevents traffic analysis (a form of attack), it must encrypt/decrypt on every hop and every path.\n\nProtocol-level encryption (layer 3 and 4) encryption encrypts protocol data but leaves protocol and link headers clear. While protocol-level encryption requires you to encrypt/decrypt data only once, and it encrypts/decrypts only those sessions that need it, headers are sent as clear text, allowing traffic analysis.\n\nApplication (layer 5 up) encryption is based on a particular application and requires that the application be modified to incorporate encryption.


I am at a pivotal point in my relationship with the father of my child.  We had a major fight.  I want to contact him, but something holds me back.  I am always the one to initiate contact after a fight and it has become a point of contention for me.  I feel like the weight of our relationship rests all on my shoulders and that if I do not initiiate and do not step up, he never will.  I don't like playing games and I am the type of person to wear my heart on my sleeve and to be emotional, but this behaviour doesn't seem to be working for mE because he still does not treat me with the respect I feel that I deserve.  I think that maybe it is because I have made it too easy for him and have been the aggressor.  Am just needing advice on holding out or not.  We have a daughter together but aren't married and I feel like if he's willing to let me go, then I should stop fighting for us to be together. AND I HAVE FOUGHT A LOT.

i think HE should take the initiative...you need to know that he needs you as much as you THINK you need him....if he doesnt call or get in contact with you you will realize that he isnt what you expected....and a complete jerk....do what you feel will be good for yourself...

I hear women say that older guys are so great. Can you tell me why?

I always loved older men. Men get better as they age. Like a fine wine.  A little grey in there hair and some wrinkles around the eyes. Beautiful.  When men hit fourty look out there hitting there peak! I have always been told that girls mature faster than boys so i think that is why older men are attractive because by the time they reach fourty they have finally become mature and refined. Not all, some.


I have a storage building that i built a door/ramp to get my lawn mower out.  the bottom half of the door swings down to form the ramp, the top half of the door hinges up to stay out of the way.  the two doors are approximately the same wieght, and I want to design pulleys or similar so that the doors open/counterbalance each other.  when openening, the lower doors weight should raise the top half, and when closing, I want to be able to raise the bottom door with the top providing lift assistance as gravity lowers the top door.  I hope this isn't too confusing, i have been trying to figure it out for a while.  If anyone knows of any graphics/designs on the web, it would be great.  any help would be appreciated.

I can think of two ways. First is with counterbalence weights with the doors balanced seperatly. For the bottom door think drawbridge with weight(2x door mass)  attached to pulley to get more travel in door.Same for top. depending on space limitations several pulleys might be needed to keep weights where they can moove. \nYou might try garage door springs. look at the pulley setup for single garage door with old pulley/ spring setup instead of the new torsion spring.\nSecond way is harder to describe. Starting at the top hinge create an attachment point 90 deg from door same distance as door length. Imagine a big carpenters speed square bolted to the upper doorwith 90 deg. angle(pivot point) at top hinge. Now with both doors closed, working from inside, make a connection with a stiff rod, angle iron, from furtherest point of speed square on top door to top edge of bottom door. When the top door is pulled up the rod pushes the bottom door down with equal force and distance.


In comp sci., do we study about Internet or webpage design?? If anyone knows, please give me the answer...\n\nThanks.

All depents on the University or College u are applying to, get their program and course descriptions.\nGenerally speaking Comp Sci is all about code and programming where copm Eng is heavily dased on more problem solving using comp languages.\nFor webdesign you would probably need niether of them.


If anyone is done with their account and it is in good standing, I'd be interested

you feel really insecure and know you have a good personality but when people are around you clam up

some people feel if you talk to yourself in the mirror or read out loud, you get more comfortable with people. because your used to talking and listening.


i love jesus christ but something that i dont like is the whole concept of rotting in hell if ur not a believer. if god loved he would not condemn us to hell simply for not being christian. it doesnt make sense. someone please explain, what happens when u die??

Do yourself a favor and wake up.  Religion was invented by men.  You are basing your life on something dreamed up thousands of years ago by ignorant people and passed on from generation to generation as fact.  You're expected to just believe it and without any possible way of getting confirmation until you are already dead.  You want to spend this existence worrying about invisible beings that someone else told you about?  Get a grip!


'To those it may concern' I will be 23yrs 2morrow(5th April)i'm pleading with u to send me some sweet words just to make my day.

I've read through some of the answers that you've provided to others in need.  You seem to genuinely care for people, and have a sincere desire to help.  Those qualities are special and rare.  And, no doubt they will be rewarded.\n\nSo, smile on Your Special Day.  For, although there may be some sadness in your heart, that heart is big.  Big enough to hold great love, which will find you in due time.\n\nProse written as a gift to you, in honor of your 23rd Anniversary on Earth: \n\nThrough the mist, \njust out of reach,\nA figure looms.\n\nMirroring my movement.\nWatching.\nForever attentive.\n\nWho lies within the shadows, \nshimmering, in the mist?\nDo you mock me?\n\nRemove this veil. Come forth,\nand break your silence.\nReveal yourself.\n\n"Oh, it is you.  You are me!\nConcealing your nature.\nWhy do you hide?"\n\n" I am you on the 'morrow.\nThat which you'll become.\nPatiently guiding."\n\n"Fear not. I am always here,\nwith love in my heart.\nReady to help you grow.\n\nSeek me out. In times of \nsorrow and strife.\nI will comfort you.\n\nFor, none knows you better.\nNone could ... \nlove you more.


i really like this guy but, he's such a flirt! I cant tell if he just wants to be friends or if he really is interested.

guys are basically stupid. my gf told me that I flirted with her all time  before we were together and I had no clue. I guess I  wasn't trying so I didn't think I was.


Do you think the government should fund a very expensive and risky trip to Mars?

Humanities future may be in the outer space at some time in the future. It is quite possible earth may become unsuitable for living due to our own making (like nuclear war or green house effects etc.)\nTrips to mars are perhaps a step towards finding a suitable place where mankind could survive and continue to prosper.\nThis research must go on even though expensive.


im in the army and i even think he is an ignorANUS sorry idiot is just to kind to describe him


I am trying to grow spiritually and just don't know where to look for guidance..I am also trying to help a dear friend who has lost faith and is filled with confussison, he is so desperately searching for enlightment and the darkness has taken over

Dear One,\n\nHere are some places you can start off with:\n\nMeditation technics (Either TM or The No Seed Meditation)\n\nReiki (Energy Therapy)\n\nAfter you start with any of the aforementioned you can start a vast study of religions although you might get in touch with them even before you start your research.\n\nFor more information you can write to me at my e-mail addr.


He and I are totally different, yet totally alike. He used to talk to me, but now he's just completely ignoring me. Help!

Give it time, but I'm afraid that completely ignoring someone is not very encouraging.  Don't tie you boat to a sinking ship.


I talk to this boy! My cousin introduce me to him and he was cool at first but then he went crazy! he said he love me after only a week in a half of talking. We get into to arguements almost every night because be both grew up different places and we have diffferent point-of-views about things. What should I do when I've already told him the way I feel? I just want him as a friend? I even told his cousin but it's no hope! Please tell me what I should do?

Nobody wants to hear this but...talk to your parents...they should be able to put a stop to this before it turns dangerous and life threatening.  NO Joke!  This boy has a stalking problem and if it is not nipped in the bud you could get hurt. Talk to an adult if you can't your parents...but ask someone you know to help...a restraining order may be the right answer.....

If the USA is so superior, then why are the people in Louisiana still not back on their feet? Why hasn't Bush stepped in the help those people? Why does the rest of the world come before his own country? To answer your question, the USA in not superior.


I would like to access my desktop at work using VNC. But it is behind a cisco NAT Router. ofcourse the router has a primary ip and 5 other public ips for NATTING. how do i access my pc from outside into that LAN to my pc?

pretty simple actually, the command would be:\n\nip nat inside source static tcp <PRIVATE_IP> 5900 <PUBLIC_IP> 5900\n\nIf using VNC with web browser:\n\nip nat inside source static tcp <PRIVATE_IP> 5900 <PUBLIC_IP> 5900\nip nat inside source static tcp <PRIVATE_IP> 5800 <PUBLIC_IP> 5800

I have a credit card that I went to court for with a hechts account. The judgement was for $858 in Jan/2004. The total chargeoff amount showing on my credit report is now $1146 as of Apr/2006. After trying to dispute this account, the credit bureaus recently updated this account as charged off in Dec 2002 and Apr 2006. This same account was originally 180 days past due in Dec 2002. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this and student loan lates off my credit report?

It sounds like they are bumping your reporting dates.  The law says the reports can only be on your history for 7 years, beginning the date of default.\n\nIf you have anything to show this, send the credit reporting agency a letter to protest it and have the listing corrected or removed.\n\nAlso send a letter to the creditor demanding that the "Validate" the debt.  That means that they must supply you with contracts, bills, recepts, and everything that was used to calculate what they claim you owe.  If they can't produce this information, the listing must come off.  Otherwise you can sue them for violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.\n\nRead the link below, along with a sample letter.\n\nAs for your student loan, it's not likely you can fight it, especially if it's a government backed loan.  It will drop off after 7 years.


what is the y intercept of x to the second + 6x -3?

It is -3.\nAt y intercept, x=0, so y =(0x0) + (6x0) -3


why does your voice sound different from when its recorded and from the voice you hear when you speak?

Because the voice you hear when you speak is largely through bone conduction (your vocal cords vibrating your neck and skull, which transmits directly to your inner ear).  The voice you hear in a recording (or over a microphone) is the voice other people hear.

The average age of onset for OCD varies among men and women. Men may experience childhood onset, between ages 6 and 15, while women typically experience adult onset, between ages 20 and 30. Two-thirds of all adults with OCD had symptoms before age 15, 80% of whom also had symptoms of depression. Given the likelihood of early onset, it is alarming that the average age that a person seeks treatment is 27\n\nAlthough OCD usually develops gradually, psychosocial stressors like changes in living situations, relationship problems, or work problems can cause sudden onset. About 70% of people experience a chronic and lifelong course, with worsening and improving symptoms. About 5% have episodic symptoms with partial or complete remission between episodes.\n\nRegardless of a person’s age at onset, the content of obsessions does not determine prognosis. The factors associated with a good prognosis include the following:\n\nMilder symptoms\nBrief duration of symptoms\nGood functioning before full onset\nSome people have only the obsessions part of OCD and do not behave compulsively. These people may attempt to suppress their disturbing, intrusive, or inappropriate thoughts by thinking healthy thoughts. This may lead to mental exhaustion, distraction, or concentration problems.\n\nComplications common to OCD include anxiety (see also generalized anxiety disorder) with panic symptoms (see panic disorder), depression, and suicidal thoughts. Roughly 80% of people who suffer from OCD experience depression. These people typically have a hard time maintaining relationships, do not marry as often as others, and have occupational and school problems. Though suicidal obsessions are common in OCD, less than 1% of people with OCD kill themselves. In fact, people with OCD rarely become completely incapacitated.\n\nadvertisement\n\n\nOCD is associated with other disorders that often involve excessive attention to the body and distorted perceptions of it. About 13% of people with OCD suffer from eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Slightly more, about 15%, suffer from trichotillomania, which is the irresistible urge to pull out one’s own scalp, facial, or body hair. Between 10% and 15% experience Tourette’s syndrome, which causes involuntary muscle movements and tics, and repetitive uncontrollable speech that is often disruptive and profane. Tics are apparent in some people, especially during childhood, before OCD is diagnosed. Although its prevalence is not known, some people are affected by body dysmorphic disorder, in which they fear a certain body part is abnormal or misshapen, regardless of what others tell them.

Hi I have just received an e-mail today from Scoop Lotto\nstating that an e-mail address drawing was done and that \nI have won a large amount of money. No they did not ask for a bank account I have not answered them yet and I also have been searching for the company My gut feeling is that it is a scam.


We want to sell them :fishing for them is cool, but i was thinking about taking the barb off a long shank hook, I dont know but cast nets wont work because they scoot under hence the name scooters help.

you could catch them with your hands, just wear rubber gloves so that they will not slip from your hand so easy, but maybe you should try your idea first


in light of new evidence, does anyone think that judas was just fulfilling his part as much as jesus was..

Jesuit scholar says Gospel of Judas does not merit name 'Gospel'\n\nBy Cindy Wooden\nCatholic News Service\n\nROME (CNS) -- The Gospel of Judas was unimportant to most Christians when it was written hundreds of years ago and it is unimportant today, said a Jesuit professor who has convoked a series of ecumenical studies of the historical Jesus. \n\nJesuit Father Gerald O'Collins, a longtime professor of Christology at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University, said the text, like the gospels of Mary Magdalene and Philip, "does not merit the name 'Gospel.'" \n\nThe National Geographic Society unveiled the document April 6, posting a copy of it on the society's Web site, www.nationalgeographic.com, and releasing English translations of portions of the text.\n\n"A 'Gospel' is a literary genre -- established by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -- focusing on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus," Father O'Collins said. \n\nWhile including events supposedly related to the life of Jesus, the Gospel of Judas and the others really are texts "attempting to bolster the importance" of the personalities they are named after, not of Jesus, the priest said. \n\n"They are not summaries of the good news," he said.\n\nThe texts come from the gnostic tradition, a religious-philosophical current popular in the second, third and fourth centuries. The gnostics claimed to have secret knowledge unavailable to the vast majority of people and focused so strongly on the spiritual and intellectual that they despised material creation, including the human body. \n\nIn the year 180, St. Irenaeus condemned the gnostics, mentioning particularly a Gospel of Judas.\n\nFather O'Collins said the most important thing about the text released in early April is that "it shows just how right Irenaeus was in saying the gnostics were against mainstream Christianity and Judaism, they were against our God." \n\n"To give Judas greater credit," the Jesuit said, the gnostics "portray Jesus giving him secret knowledge. It was a nice try," but there is no evidence to support the claim.\n\n"It was junk then and it is junk now," he said .\n\nFather O'Collins, who between 1996 and 2003 convoked a series of ecumenical, interdisciplinary summits for scholars on the historical Jesus, said it was "ridiculous" for anyone to claim publication of the Gospel of Judas will challenge mainstream Christianity. \n\nEND

Eczema! I get it all over my body. Go to a dermatologist and she will prescribe you some cream to put on it. But before you get a chance, try using iodine. That worked on me too.

My husband and I bought plane tickets to go to his stepbrother's wedding. Now the wedding is a month away and we haven't received an invitation. I have a new dress and still have to buy my hubby a suit. We see the step brother 1 or 2 times a year. and I don't know if we should go. We can still use the plane tickets so that is no loss. To me it's like when someone says they are coming to a wedding but don't send an RSVP no matter how many times they say they are coming, they aren't. I had 20 people, 2 empty tables that I paid for at my wedding. If they don't send an RSVP they aren't coming.\nSo, if you don't get an invitation to a wedding, even if the groom says you're invited, do you go or cut your losses?

I would call the groom and ask him if you are still invited. It is possible the invitation got lost in the mail or that it was just an oversight. If you don't want to do that, than I wouldn't go to the wedding. If they have not planned for you to be there it could be a very uncomfortable situation. Another option would be to attend the wedding but not the reception since there would be no seating or food planned for you and your husband. \n\nA.H.

Not usually. I live in Florida and I have gotten a D.U.I. and I did not get jail time, but I got a lot of community service, lots of classes, 1 year of probation, and lots of money. IT WAS HELL, and i will never drink and drive AGAIN. I learned my lesson. Hopefully after it's all finished you'll never do it again either. Good luck.


An active metal releases _________ from an acid.

H2, or hydrogen gas.\n\nFor example, take magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid.\n\nMg + 2HCl -> H2 + MgCl2\n\nThis is a displacement reaction, in which a free element (Mg) breaks the bond between a compound (HCl) and then bonds to the ion with the opposite charge (Cl-) forming a new compound (MgCl2).  The ion left over (H+) loses its charge and becomes a pure element (H2).

i am muslim and i am reading the Bible and man is it just confuesing? the more i read in the Bible the more i believe in Islam its true. it's like several people with different opinions are writing the Bible\n\ni believe someone need to rewrite the Bible again using all the information of the Aramanic langauge carefuly and write everything in the best details. i have doubt toward the word "son" and children" those two words have been misunderstood by many and i am very sure the word son means something else. \n\ni know that because when i read the original langauge of the Quran and compare it to the translation, what matter the prefect translation can be it will never be exactly accurate as to the level of accurates as the Quran. the original langauge in the Quran more strong, more deep meaning, more balance, and more accurates word.

The bible was written over thousands of years, most of the Old Testament in Hebrew (parts in Aramaic), and the New Testament written in Greek. \nThe problem is that languages change with time and misuse, so old books need retranslating to maintain accuracy (i.e. does the translation mean to a modern reader in the translated language what it did to a contemporary reader in the ancient language).\nModern Greek is different from 1st century Greek. Modern Hebrew is different from ancient Hebrew. US English is different from UK English. Egyptian arabic is different from Modern Standard Arabic.\nwww.biblegateway.com has 19 English translations plus lots of other languages, including Arabic. Most translators work from the oldest texts available in the original languages. Some of these are very, very old.\nFor a demo of some of the difficulties translators face, paste a paragraph into http://babel.altavista.com/tr, ask it to translate it into a different language, then cut & paste it back in to translate it back into the start language and see what you get.\nThere is some useful stuff about bible translation on www.ibs.org.\nIn the 2nd letter from the apostle Paul to Timothy chapter 3 he wrote:-\n    14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,\n    15 and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.\n    16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,\n    17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.\n\nFind an up to date translation (e.g. NIV or NKJV in English) or Arabic if you find it easier, read it with an open mind and you will be blessed.\n\nShukran for your question.


Why are the only responces to those who are against ILLEGAL immigration (as I am) are 1."You Racists" and 2."This country was built on immigrants"? \n 1. Just because you are against illigal immigration does not mean you are a racist. I am againt illigal immigration and I have Mexican friends.\n2. I realize that this country was built on LEGAL IMMIGRATION. That argument doesn't give others the right to illigally flood our country.

The reason those are the only other responses are simple:  They can't argue there point with logic so they go with an emotional response.  They don't want a debate because they know their arguments for illegals are weak and they would lose an intellectual debate based on the law and facts.  So they resort to name calling and race baiting.  They hope if we are called enough names that we'll feel ashamed for picking on the poor illegals and go away.  \n\nIn a debate you know who has the weaker hand when the only arguement they have is to call someone else names.\n\nTo mendi8a: thats the only response because how do you defend yourself against a charge like that?  you cant, once the race card has been thrown no matter what you say your guilty of it in the mind of the one who puts it out on the table.  I really dont care if someone calls me a racist.  You know why because I know the truth and I sleep well at night.


I remember from 20 years ago (or more) when I was a highschool student that there was no geometrical method to divide an arbitrary angle into any arbitrary integer diviosions, except 2-powered numbers and some special cases like 3 which had a complicated solution. However, I've heard months ago that somebody invented a geometrical tools which can divide angles of an arbitrary value into arbitrary divisions. Is it true? What's its mechanism?

It is impossible to trisect an arbitrary angle using only compass and straightedge (but bisection is possible). No there is no mathematical technique (i.e a theoretical construction technique to do so, even if impractical). It cannot be done exactly. The best that can be done is approximation. One can imagine, I suppose, a radial arm (our radius rotating about a fixed  point) whose rotation speed was controlled very precisely by a computer and the speed could be extremely slow and a laser could be used with a super accurate quartz timer to 'print' a dot at fixed intervals thus dividing an arbitrary angle as desired. Certainly, technologically feasible, but I haven't heard anything about it, and it would be a technological technique, not a mathematical "breakthrough".

Why do men take things serious such as if you were to go hang out with another guy as a friend?


target or wallmart to buy a dvd... are they real or fake??

why would you even question if they are real? was it the walmart out of the back of some guy's van at the flea market? was he wearing a blue apron and no nametag? was the bull's eyes orange instead of red? \n\nseriously, stores can't sell the illegal stuff. they are too high profile. if you think you got a fake, do some investigation. you might get a whole lot of people in trouble and what could be more fun?


Well, I imagine both of them were, actually.  I can only assume that they were both voted "most likely" to do everything.  But the one thing that separates them would be the whole prom king/queen selection.\n\nWhereas Jack Bauer was obviously prom king... I think Chuck Norris was probably both king and queen.  While this may be construed as an extra feather in Chuck's cap, I imagine Jack Bauer could have done both, but he figured being prom queen was just plain gay.\n\nIt's been said that if Jack Bauer was homosexual, his name would be Chuck Norris.

Just a little while ago i went to go see Scary Movie 4 with my friend and his parents. We got a little while into the movie and they made us leave because it is to inappropriate. that was OK but then they were putting it all on me. They were saying, "Nice pick of movie" or "great choice". This made me feel real upset. Do you think i should still hang out with my friend. He is being mean to my brothers to. Please answer my question!!!

His parents sound pretty immature and pointlessly mean, if they weren't kidding around. It also sounds like he's picking up on their behavior and imitating it. But his parents' behavior is not as important as his, since he is the one who is your friend. You can confront him about it, if you choose, or you can decide whether his friendship is still valuable to you. Everyone has little things that will annoy us, whether it's friends or family, and you just have to decide whether hanging out with them is worth putting up with them. If his only bad trait is that he occasionally teases your brothers, you might just simply want to ask him to stop.


As a country do we have the right to decide how and why we set the rules for immigrants to enter our country?

The media is focused on this issue as a civil rights movement.  I just can't see it and yes I think the media is trying to confuse, or distract us.  With the African American movement, the protests were about making the playing field equal.  But they protested for the right to do everything, they even fought to be seen as equals in patriotism, outshining alot of the majority.  The illegals are disrespectful, demanding and trying to threaten our economy so we'll give in to them.  I think if you're going to protest in America you should at least write your sign in English.  Don't worry though, I think the media may be switching sides.  At least they are here.  Last night they praised an immigrant that fired all of her services that employed mexicans because she didn't know how to tell which ones were legal.  She fought hard to become a citizen and she didn't think anyone should demand special treatment.


JAKE IS NOT ALL THAT HOT BUT ERIN AND EMILY P. THINK SO. HIS FACE HAS WEIRD FRECKLES. HE'S A TOTAL MAMA'S BOY, SO CONCEITED AND OBSESSED WITH HIS iPOD AND SPORTS. BUT HE IS PART OF THE "COOL GROUP" BUT I REALLY THINK HE'S A DORK. SO WHY WHY WHY DOES EVERYONE LIKE HIM SO MUCH?!?!?!?!

HHMMMM, Sounds like a soap opera I used to watch


"Find all the zeros of f(x), if f(x)=x^5-14x^3+49x, and then sketch." HUH?!

Real zeros means where the graph touches the x axis.  It's values for x that make the answer, f(x) [which is replaced with y on a graph], come out zero.\n\nFor this example, use distributive property to factor out x:\nx(x^4 - 14x^2 + 49)\n\nThen factor by FOIL: x(x^2 -7)(x^2 - 7)\n\nIf this = 0, then either x = 0 or x = sqrt 7 or x = - sqrt 7.  Those are your three real zeros.  The last two occur twice so they have what's called multiplicity 2.  \n\nUse the zeros to help sketch.  Then put in numbers for x to complete the sketch.


well i had a bf but he cheated on me\ni want one who luvs me 9-10 years old

I'm doing a research paper on Nursing Shortages and I need some information or if anybody knows a good website or book that will refer me to better information?

Yes, there is a nursing shortage in general. Nurses are in high demand. Even if there are hospital beds available, if there are not enough nurses to staff them, they will not be available.\nHere are two links to nursing association websites:\nhttp://www.nursingworld.org/\nhttp://www.ena.org/


I have posted questions to this prior situation, but i dont know what to do. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. My bf cheated, I cheated. I stopped it after the first time. He continued, and lied for the years that we have been together, but i cant find it in my heart to break up with him. I cant let go. What should i do??? Please help!

Neither of you love each other since you both cheated, whether it was for plasure or revenge it doesnt matter. This is a mentally dangerous situation as that he has become a habit. Habits are hard to break especially the ones that last for years. You have been doing this for so long that you cant remember what life was like before him. You deserve better. Unfortunately you cant listen to your heart on this one. Leave. Does it feel good knowing he might have been inside another woman hours earlier without protection then inside you? Do you always want to have that feeling? Search your soul and find your courage to whats right for your emotional and mental future.


Why do they bow down to the statues of them aswel, surely thats worshiping of an idol or idols?

Catholics don't worship or adore Mary. We venerate her, and call her blessed, just as Scripture shows. (Luke 1:48). \n\nCatholics request Mary's intercession because the fervant prayer of a righteous person is very powerful. (James 5:16). It's hard to find someone who fits this description more than Mary. This is not asking Mary to mediate (Jesus Christ is the only one with that role (Tim 2:5)), merely to intercede. It's similar to St. Paul asking fellow believers to pray for him. (Romans 15:30, Col 4:3, and other verses).\n\nNeither do Catholics practice idolatry, because they do not worship statues, or anything else created. Exodus 20:4-5 prohibits the making of images for the purpose of worshiping the image, but does not prohibit image-making altogether. (In Exodus 25:18-19, G-d commands Moses to make statues of cherubim.) Statues and other images are used as an aid to faith by helping to call to mind that which they represent, but the image itself is not worshipped.


I am scared for the person who answered your question "i've been bulimic for years" - dont ever be cheery about having a disease - get yourself help because otherwise you will never be able to properly nourish a child while in the womb - you will probably freak out and become suicidal when you see your belly start to swell and arent well enough to be responsible for another life.


I'm a very good looking and easy to go kinda guy... and i'm searching for a really good looking girl of my age. The prob is that girls in India r just to shy...

(Don't listen to to all of them answers. Some of these folks are morons)\nBut it sounds like Indian boys and girls are both shy. I'm Black and I dated an Indian girl. They're just like other girls. Actually, they're closer to white American girls from suburbia.\nBasically, all you need to do is show confidence and honesty. Women love that. Girls don't. If you're looking for a girl, try to impress her, but don't try too hard. Try something like compliment her hair or eyes to let her know you notice her. Spark a convo by using your surroundings. Like if she's looking at a painting, or watching an activity, or her even her accessories.\n*What ever you do, don't studder. haha

I was helping my neighbours 2 childrens with their homework while the youngest boy 6yrs old!told me that if he was bigger he would haved wanted me to be his girlfriend because he finds me very SEXY ,i just laughed it off said thanks but added that he should not be saying or thinking of stuffs like that at his age.He got really upset and locked himself in his room.What did i say wrong?

You did nothing wrong. He just is hurt because he apparantly likes you. But he really shouldn't have that stuff on his mind.


James 4:8 says "draw close to God, and he will draw close to you."  This is the best example of intimacy with God that we can show.  But how can we draw close to God?\n\n1) We must show God that we love him.  Ps. 97:10 says those who Love God "Hate what is bad."  So in addition to showing personal expressions of love to God, we must hate what he considers detestable.  Examples like what is listed at Collosians 3:5, Galatians 5:19-21, and Revelation 21:8 are things that God is going to do away with, things he hates.  By hating such practices ourselves, and not practicing them, we show we love God and want to draw close to him.\n\n2) Take in an ACCURATE knowledge of God.\nRomans 10:13 says "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved (KJV).  What is the name of the LORD, or God as the greek word used there translates to?  It's important to know.  How can you be intimate with a God you don't know the name of?  Psalms 83:18 puts it beautifully.  "You, whose name is JEHOVAH, you alone are the most high over all the earth."  By taking in an accurate knowledge of Jehovah God, using his name in our personal lives, we show we love him and want to draw close to him.  John 17:3 states that this could me our everlasting lives.\n\n3) Take time to Read the Bible.  The Bible can be confusing and hard to understand.  Some religions MAKE it hard to understand, contradicting themselves or the Bible itself.  But the Bible clearly states at Joshua 1:8 that the "book of the law" must be read, as the verse brings out "day and night".  But benefits come from reading it.  Our way will be successful the verse concludes.  Proverbs 2:5 says that we will find the very knowledge of God by reading the Bible.  Indeed, nothing, not church, not motivational books, NOTHING replaces reading the Bible daily.\n\nTo be intimate with God means to know God.  To love God.  To want to worship God.  It is encouraged that everyone want to build a relationship with God.

"vamos vamos que si se puede!" (i dont know if there are accents over the i and e in si and se). i'm not a native speaker, though i know what all the words me seperately, im not entirely sure what they are together. also, doesnt "arriba" mean up? why is it used as like an exclamation? (like in that same song, where the previous line is from, the next line is "arriba arriba que si se puede) thanks!

Arriba is sometimes used like a cheer sometimes at games or in songs. If that's from a song then it's like they're saying "Come on come on you can do it" or something like that.

I guessed my ex-husband's messenger/email password and obtained crucial information that i would like to use in court for our custody case. Did I do anything illegal and are the emails admissable in court? According to the emails, he has manipulated the court system and perpetrated mail fraud and identity theft(against our children).Although we have shared parental rights and responsibilities, he has relocated 1800 miles away. If it were not for my dumb-luck in guessing his password, I would not know where my children are. Also dumb-luck, he saved all of his emails where he wrote all of his new information and details about how he would get away without me knowing and have it be "legal" in the courts eyes, based on the information that they had presented to them. Without these emails to prove what really happened, I have no recourse. I would like to go to court and be able to be honest about how I obtained this evidence, or have I, myself broken the law. I cannot find such a law.

Definitely talk to your lawyer. It is illegal to take someone elses mail from their mailbox, so there may very well be a law about emails as well.


In the movie "Cadence" with Charlie Sheen, the military prisoners are examined every morning and if something is not up to regulation, the head honcho gives them a "gig".  I was just wondering what a gig is and what happens as a result.

It's a demerit one receives, usually during an inspection, for not having something prepared the way it should be (as defined by regulations)..

My girlfriend and i need have problems communicating. Thats a reason we fight so much. any ideas on ways to communicate.

Well, after about 4 years of therapy and couples therapy with some amazing, top therapists in Los Angeles, I'm happy to say that I've learned incredible tools on communicating and I was amazed at how hard it is and how many people don't know how to do it.  We really should be teaching this in schools.  Anyhow- most people vent and don;t really listen.  When one has an issue, you take it up in a three part communication: what, why and what you want.  So 1) start by saying something positive that relates to the issue, 2) bring up your feelings (which does NOT imply that you are correct or that the other has to agree) and 3) what you want from the outcome.  Example-let's say you get jealous or she gets jealous alot: "honey, listen, I know you're an attractive girl and guys are gonna check you out and i don't blame them but, i feel threatened or jealous when they do cause it just  i feel insecure.  I want you to try and be considerate of my feelings and try to  be cool talking to guys in bars".  The key issues to communication is first of all, NO ONE MAKES you feel anything, people are going to feel what they're going to feel so you can't accuse someone of making you feel a certain way.  This is huge so make sure you understand that.  It's the number one common mistake.  Second is when you or she speaks your feelings, the other just needs to acknowlege and be empathetic.  It does not mean you have to agree with what they're saying but you need to understand "I understand what you're saying and I can appreciate the way you feel" is not saying"I agree with you and i accept blame".  Thirdly, be specific and consistent and most of all. be clear on your boundaries.  Many fights start because boundaries aren't clear and when they're crossed, people get pissed.  Boundaries are things like "don't kiss other dudes, don't flirt, don't bad mouth me, whatever.    if you want more specifics, feel free to write specific issues.  :))  plus, be prepared, it takes a lot of practice.  I meant email me.  I am happy to share my knowledge. God knows I spent a fortune for it!!!!  But it is life changing.  And the best part is that it gives you such great control over your own life.  It's very empowering to communicate effectively.


the police ran after him for two miles then when they handcuffed him one of the them punched him in the stoamach the other(S) punched him in the back 2 times FOR NO REASON is this rigth in your opinion the man did not bother those men

well, i don't know what they were arresting him for (if they were chasing him for 2 miles, they had to have a good reason)\n\nhe was resisting arrest, so I see why they would feel it neccecsary to do that, maybe they thought he was a danger to them\n\nwe need to know why he was being arrested....
