This is by no means meant to be disrespectful. I am trying to imagine what it would be like to feel as you do.

Messiah does not mean messenger. I just love people who dont know Hebrew, dont know Judaism, writing as if they are experts.\n\nNo, there is no one that i have in mind who comes close to the description:::\n\nTHE MESSIAH IN JUDAISM:::\n\nHow have we Jews, who invented the term, always defined the term Messiah?\n\n1)The Messiah is born of two human parents, as we said.\n\n2)The Messiah must trace his lineage through his human biological father, back to King David (Isaiah 11:1,10; Jeremiah 23:5; Ezekiel 34:23-24; 37:21-28; Jeremiah 30:7-10; 33:14-16; and Hosea 3:4-5)\n3)The Messiah traces his lineage only through King Solomon, and cannot be adopted into the Royal line (II Samuel 7:12-17; I Chronicles 22:9-10)\n\n4)The Messiah can not trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17; Jeremiah 22:18,30).\n\nFurthermore, according to the Jewish definition of the term, the Real Messiah will make changes in the real world, changes that one can see and perceive and be able to prove because these changes take place in the real world. It is for this task that the real messiah has been anointed in the first place, hence the term, messiah -- one who is anointed. These changes, that one will be able to see and perceive in the real world, include:\n\n1)The Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6)\n\n2)The Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14)\n\n3)The Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9)\n\n4)The Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16)\n\n5)The Messiah brings about an end to all forms of idolatry (Zechariah 13:2);\n\n6)The Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of Gd is Gd (Isaiah 11:9)\n\n7)The Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9)\n\n8)The Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24)\n\n9)The Messiah rebuilds The Temple (Isaiah 2:2; Ezekiel 37:26-28)\n\n10)There will be no more famine (Ezekiel 36:29-30)\n\n11)After the Messiah comes, death will eventually cease (Isaiah 25:8)\n\n12)Eventually the dead will be resurrected (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; Ezekiel 37:12-13; Isaiah 43:5-6);\n\n13)The nations of the earth will help the Jews, materially (Isaiah 60:5-6; 60:10-12;\n\n14)The Jews will be sought out for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23);\n\n15)All weapons will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9,12);\n\n16)The Nile will run dry (Isaiah 11:15)\n\n17)Monthly, the trees of Israel will yield their fruit (Ezekiel 47:12);\n\n18)Each tribe of Israel will receive and settle their inherited land (Ezekiel 47:13-13);\n\n19)The nations of the earth will recognize that they have been wrong, that the Jews have been right, and that the sins of the Gentile nations, their persecutions and the murders they committed, have been borne by the Jewish people (Isaiah 53)\n\nThese Biblically based changes in the world are very real, very perceivable, very noticeable, and knowable. The changes made by the Messiah according to Judaism are very provable.\n\nThe changes made by the Messiah according to Judaism as read in the Bible have not happened yet. \n\nQuite simply, we Jews invented the term, “messiah.” When someone starts doing ALL of these things, then we will have someone in mind.............

Does anyone know where I can find a medical records release form that can be used with a Doctor's office?

Your doctor's office should have one. Otherwise, you could just write on a piece of paper that you authorize your (or your child's) medical records to be released to so-and-so, then sign and date it.


Me and my husband been together for a while and he cheated, and i feel it's because i didn't do things to satisfy him in the bedroom. Like i always thought going down was bad so i done it like 5 times and we been together 4 years. He wants to do it every way i never heard of and i don't because i feel it's to freaky. I've always felt even though you do all that men still cheat so why do it. Then thinking about how many people they may have done and how many people done them makes me sick to my stomache to even go down there and make a fool out myself. But sometime I wonder if i give that would he stay and be content with me and only me. What should i do?

NO I don't think it's anything you did.  If he loved you he wouldn't have cheated on you no matter what!  If I were you I would make him kiss you rear and do everything in his power to make it up to you!  In no way do I feel you should do anything more for him!  You don't deserve to be cheated on, no matter what his excuses are!


I want to view an html document I am typing in windows xp notepad on the browser window.

Best way to view the html is to save the text file as .htm or .html.  The new file can be opened with the browser.  However, to just get a blank browser page you can type about:blank or in internet explorer go into the options and choose "use blank" button.


If you truly believe that anything is possible consider this:\nIf anything is possible then is it possible for absolutely nothing to possible?

Only in as much as it is possible that everything we think is possible is only an lliusion anyway.


Why does my car go 125 miles on the first quarter tank, 100 on the second and third quarter, and only 75 on the last one. Every car I have had is like this. If we can go to the moon, have the vastness of the internet, replace body parts, why not have a useful and accurate gas gauge?

Car manufacturers also own the towing services that come and take us to the nearest gas stations that OH, incidentally, the car manufacturers own too. So with this monopoly going on they gouge us with the gauge since we over estimate how long we can go especially on that last quarter of a tank of gas. So in short......it's a racket. A gauge gouging racket. :D


its a toshiba and i think i tried everything

it's pretty difficult to help on such a vague question. give a short history\n- when did you hear the speakers for the last time?\n- what did you do in the mean time? (did you install any obscure programs)\n- always helpful is to mention what operating system you use (Windows, Linux etc.)\n\nedit:\nthanks for the response. It seems like an issue with the amplifier. What's up with headphones or external speakers, did you already try that? In case this doesn't work, you have to go to the vendor with your laptop.

To be a trinomial it needs 3 terms.  To be degree 5 the biggest exponent should be 5.\n\nSo x^5 + x + 3.  2x^5 - 5x^3 + x.  and so on.


On the surface my brother's fiancee is a good person. You know, she does all the socially right things (like immediate thank you notes, volunteering to cook on family holidays, sending flowers when people have had a rough week- that type of stuff). But she's not a genuinely nice person, and I feel as though my (smart, down-to-earth, easy-going)brother is 1) being mildly controlled by this woman,2) Isn't nearly as happy as he used to be, and 3) is blind to many of her very annoying shortcomings (like the fact that she is controlling & judgemental).I feel as though I can't say anything to my brother because they are engaged; and my remarks (if not delicately phrased) could end up being a permanent scar in what may turn out to be a life-long relationship with this woman (who is petty enough to hold eternal grudges)... anyhow to say something or not to say anything- that is the question.

I would only say something if you really feel the need to stand up for your brother, I would do it with them both standing right there so that way there is no he said she said crap going on between them talking about you. I would only do that under extreme cercumstances though. It matters how close you are over all to your brother, I mean if you can talk to him about anything i would definitally say something to him in private, something like dude is it just me or do you seem unhappy here lately, not really blameing her but if it is because of her he will come out and say so, if he asks you what you think i would go ahead and tell him but in the long and short of it if she makes him eat dog food on the floor every night for dinner and he still loves her, support him in his pick for a future wife. You might not like how she treats him over all but it looks like he does, maybe you havent gotten to know her well enough yet, Or maybe he hasnt, who knows. But i would definitally deal with this in a tender way, maybe your mom or dad can say something to him, or you can go to them and voice your concerns, they could probably get away with saying something to him easier then you could. I dont know ive never really been in that situation but i can see it going bad easily if its not delt with care :) I hope that helps


Further, with the serise of animals above, which ones were the first to have the following characteristics; Bony Skeleton, Opposable Thumbs, Birth to Living Young, Endotherm, Feed Young Milk, Four Chamber Heart, Lungs.

That is not a good question. A cladogram expresses the ancestor-descendant relationships by means of _branches_, not by means of an ascending or ordered system. Thus, a goldfish would not come "before" a horse, nor a lamprey before a platypus. All the animals in your list do not even belong to a single nested group of taxa.\nThe sparrow is more related to the crocodile, the horse with the human and they in turn with the platypus, but all them, as well as lampreys, frogs, goldfish,  have their own evolutionary histories and their phylogenetic relationships are more complex than that.\nTell that to your teacher!


c'mon,  don't be mean to me, and help me out!

Specific gravity.\n\nPure water has a density of 1 (the mass of 1 cubic centimetre of pure water is precisely 1 gramme), if something was twice as heavy as water (i.e. it has twice the mass) it would have a specific gravity of 2, 6 times as heavy and the SG would be 6.  If something was half as light as water it's SG would be 0.5 and so on.

Seriously, I ended up with his ashes. He made no requests to dispose of them in any particular manner. I think it would be nice to spread them at the park down the block from my house, my buddy says I can get busted for this.\nAny ideas what I can do and still respect my Pappy.

I think if you could find a body of water that has fish you cuold sprinkle them in the water and enjoy watching the fish come and feed on them. It would be espicially beautiful if it were a koi pond.\n\nNo koi don't bite. They are giant goldfish. I do think he will be watching what you do with them. I personally as a Buddhist just love the idea of feeding them to living things. I find that so much more meaningful than just throwing them in a park. IF he had a favorite place you cuold scatter them there. My daddy loved the race track and we scattered his ashes there.\n\nThey CAN eat, silly. They will not bite your finger if you put it in the water but they consider the ashes of a dead person fair game.


Actually I think you need to look a little further than the shores of the USA, if your asking the WORLDS richest. The article below tells Manchester United Football Club (Soccer) as the worlds richest sports club, since this article they have been overtaken by Real Madrid (Soccer)\n\nCBC SPORTS ONLINE - Not even the New York Yankees can touch the financial juggernaut that is Manchester United. \n\nAccording to figures released by sports business group Deloitte & Touche, the English soccer giants topped the list of the world's richest sports franchises for 2002-03. \n\n\nRELATED: \nCBC Sports Online Soccer Tracker\nThe figures ranked the top 20 soccer franchises in the world and compared those figures with the top 10 teams from other pro sports. \n\nManchester United, the reigning champions of the English Premiership, posted revenues of $413.3 million for the 2002-03 season. \n\nBy comparison, the Yankees (the top money money-earner in the U.S.) hauled in $400.8 million in revenue, while the NFL's Washington Redskins (2nd overall in the U.S.) earned $325 million. \n\nThe soccer club's fortune was built on its overwhelming success in domestic competition (they've won nine of the last 12 league championships) and selling out their 67,000-capacity Old Trafford Stadium for each of their home games. \n\nAccording to the report, 40 per cent of the club's revenue came from the gate, 33 per cent from broadcasting rights and the remaining 27 per cent from commercial ventures. \n\nThe club sold more than 2.5 million replica shirts during the year, with 40 per cent of those sales coming outside the United Kingdom, a testament to how much of a global marketing phenomenon the soccer club really is.


Yes they would.  You'll just want to make sure you have documentation of having taken the classes.


I would like to hear more about Yogananda's group.

Paramahansa Yogananda founded it.  \nYogananda's life story, Autobiography of a Yogi, was published in 1946 and expanded by him in subsequent editions. A perennial best seller, the book has been in continuous publication since it first appeared and has been translated into 18 languages. It is widely regarded as a modern spiritual classic.\n\nIn 1920, Yogananda was invited to serve as India's delegate to an international congress of religious leaders convening in Boston. His address to the congress, on "The Science of Religion," was enthusiastically received. That same year he founded Self-Realization Fellowship to disseminate worldwide his teachings on India's ancient science and philosophy of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation.\n\nFor the next several years, he lectured and taught on the East coast and in 1924 embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. The following year, he established in Los Angeles an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, which became the spiritual and administrative heart of his growing work.\n\nThere is a course you can take to learn his meditation techniques.  It's a very accepting group.  I once belonged, when I was interested in learning more about that form of yoga and meditation.


ONE OF MY FRIENDS TRIED 2 JOIN A MONEY PYRMID IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY ONE WAS WINNING UNTIL IT CAME AROUND TO HIM THEN EVERY BODY QUIT RIGHT BEFORE HE WON. WHAT U THINK HE SHOULD DO?

It is not only with poor people getting scammed, but with the rich also because most people are out to make a quick buck and are not really reading the fine lines and investigating the situation more clearly.

my husbands ex. says now that we are married, that creditor can harrass me and get money from me too. She says im responsible, i wasnt in his life then. how can i be responsible for there debts.

It depends on how your 'Community Property' laws in your state work.\nYou might want to retain a financial lawyer, or at least hunt around for a decent one experienced with financial matters.\nI would suggest you keep your finances separate, too. Stuff only in your name and such.\nOn a side note...even if it is illegal, creditors will say anything and everything to get money out of you. \nIf they've already discharged the bankruptcy, creditors cannot bother you anymore unless you fail to pay on agreed terms setup in the bankruptcy. We only had a couple of issues with creditors, but, as soon as you say it was discharged and give them the doc-number,they'll usually leave you alone.

by people who critique at your level so whether you're a veteran writer or a teenager expressing

This is going to sound a bit snarky, but it sounds like your writing needs a good critique.  Your question is basically incomprehensible.  The first thing a writer should do is make his point clear.


A radioactive element has a half life of 40 days. What percentage of the original sample is left after 48 days?

theres some  decay equation, i think. \nyou know that   the element   will have half the original after 40 days. so its like F = I (1/2)^d/40    i think. so d is the number of dayz and I is the initial.  so if d=40 dayz  youll have half  the original. \nanyways i might be wrong so sorry if i am but if im right, then u would put 100 for I (100%) and then put d=48 and find F.\nF = 100 (1/2)^(48/40)\nF = 100 (1/2)^1.2\nF = 43.52........   % of the original left after 48 days


How do I find out if this person has a bachelor degree or not. what info do I need from him to find out?

If you know the name of the school the person graduated from, call the Registrar/Records office and ask.\n\nSchools are allowed to release the following information about students:  Name, telephone number, e-mail address, major, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and enrollment status (full- or part-time).\n\nYou may not be able to get this information if the person has requested that it not be released.


Lately everytime I sign on I get a box that says AOL has encountered a problem and needs to close. Can you please tell me how to fix the problem so that I can sign on without getting this? Thanks.

A couple of things. You're probably running an out of date version of AIM. You also might be running a problem that perhaps may be incompatible with AIM. For example, if you another messenger system, this may slow down / disconnect you from one of them. Yet another answer could be that you have an "AIM Virus" so perhaps one day a friend of yours may have inadvertantly sent you a link - you clicked, you thought it was nothing and it lead you to a blank page. That blank page uploaded a virus that would shut down the AIM processor periodically.  \n\nIf all these fail. Delete your current AIM. (Don't worry, your buddy list will be saved) and reinstall it. www.aim.com - that should fix it. If it STILL has problems. I suggest you start talking to your friends on MSN and/or reformat your computer THEN reinstall AIM.


it has a code that allows you to put it on your profile, but i don't want it on there. i see some people have it as there main picture does anybody know how to do this??

you'll want to download an animated gif. Save the gif to your hard drive, and the upload it on the myspace home page where it prompts you to upload a picture for your profile. Dont use the code on the site, just download it to your hard drive.\n\nThat way, you can have it for a profile pic.


She is taking blood thinning medication. How long does it take for it to go back to normal?

Is it actually the white bit of her eye?  I think this can be quite common and looks alot more serious than it actually is, however because your grandmother is on the medication I think it's important she goes to see her gp, especially if this happens to her often


Fish. My mom called me at 6:45am to ask if my sister was pregnant. She's on the pill so then she asks if I was pregnant?\n\nShe had a dream about a giant fish. Then she saw one of her friends of thirty years that is unable to have children with a newborn in a bassinette. The bassinette also had dolls inside of it.\n\nWhat do you think?

It's so funny, because dreaming of fish is a cross-cultural old wives tale associated with pregnancy!  Many women I have talked to believe that dreaming of fish indicates an impending pregnancy.\n\nI guess only time can tell if the fish dream holds up!


How many ways can a word be spelled from top to bottom for example:\nB\nAA\nT      \n bat can be spelled 2 ways\n\nwhat if the word is really long? what's the formula to find the number of possible ways it can be spelled?

do you know pascal's triangle?  this is done the same way.\n\nsay the word is:\n\nGAME\n\n\nG\nAA\nMMM\nXE\n\nthe X is a space.\n\nso you start putting 1 on G\n\n1\nAA\nMMM\nXE\n\nthen you go down.  there is one from from G to either A's\n\n1\n11\nMMM\nXE\n\nnow the first and last M can be arrived from first and last A's respectively.  So we get\n\n1\n11\n1M1\nXE\n\nthe middle M can be arrived from either A's, so we add 1+1=2\n\n1\n11\n121\nXE\n\nas you may have noticed, this is first three rows of pascal's triangle.\n\nthe last E can be arrived from either of the M's, so we do 1+2+1=4\n\nso there are 4 ways.


Go Away, there are kids in here. Are you ill?


Generally two types of group in office, one is who work hard and others are work hardly. And the hardly workers always show that they are doing hard. Some time they take the credit, how much they will success in there life?

I can't take up a lot of sources to back my argument here, but from my own experience and that is that those who "hardly" work will eventually get their due. \n\nIt's not going to be always the case that they will have someone to back them up and eventually the bosses that have been misguided by their "hard work" will see the truth. \n\nSo my advice to those that do work "hard", to keep doing so, but also to not shy away from showing they work hard.  This takes confidence and you will feel it if you truly work "hard".


If you need to gain 30 pounds just keep eating. Also, you can just stop walking and exercising. You might as well hire a butler to bring you your food all the time and just sit on the sofa and do nothing. You should do this for about two or three weeks.Maybe even a month.


Let's face it!  We pander to the kids.  We're afraid to hurt their feelings.  We don't allow them to "fail."  We defend the child, and curse the teacher.  We don't allow students to experience rough and tough realities of life.\n\nYes, we should teach kids about traffic dangers, talking to strangers, and that sort of thing.  But, what I'm asking about amounts to this:  Are we leading/preparing the kids for the rough, tough, and often indifferent realities of life, or are we providing false senses of security, or whatever???

I totally agree with you.  I am getting a degree in ECE (early childhood education, K-3) and have decided against student teaching because honestly I do not want to be a teacher anymore. \n\n The things I have witnessed has deterred me from teaching because of the restrictions put on teachers.  Educators are not allowed to explain the realities of situations.  They cannot even go off topic to discuss anything aside from the assigned curriculum. \n\n The No Child Left Behind Act has created chaos due to its focus solely on standardized tests.  Children need to learn and discuss skills in school and not worry about passing a standardized test, which many students fail, only to reflect negatively on the school and its teachers.  To discuss the realities of Hurricane Katrina or whatever main event gong on in the world would be to go off track of the curriculum and thus would not allow the teacher to complete the days math lesson... \n\nI believe the students need to understand that the world does not owe them anything and that they must make their own way to become successful adults.  There is too much of a focus on what the student needs, and in the real world it is the utilitarian view, and not the view of how things will work out best for each individual.  \n\nOnly when we as educators and parents allow students to see the realities of the world and the fact that they must do their own good to make it in the world, will the students of today not feel as though they are owed something.


Is there a way to remove resolved questions and answers from "My Q&A" lists? I have noticed that some of the resolved questions have been removed and I would like to be able to remove all of them from my lists so I don't have to scroll through all the resolved questions and answers to get to the open ones. Thank you! =-)

Well Angel Heart, that makes the 4 of us who want the same thing!!\n\nFood for thought: If you were able to delete resolved questions, how could you go to my question about the fetish I have (which we both know, and you pointed out so well). Simply, if that question was deleted, you would not be able to get to it now and read my comment in reply to yours ;)


I am a chinese and from non-christian background. I learnt to know Lord Jesus Christ even when I am at a young age. My mother did not stop me from going to Carpenter class. Somehow, I lost touch with Him until about 05 - 06 years ago, I have family problem and come back to Him again and I decided to accept Him official as my personal Saviour. But what happen is my parents in law which they are anti Christ. So, I have to leave with it secretly. My husband is supporting me quitely as he do not to offend his parents. But if they would like me to pray in their idols, can I just do it for the sick to pleased them? What I can do now is to pray for the Lord to open their spiritual eye to see that he is a true living GOD. So, am I sinful?

Our God is a wonderful savior who knows our predicaments and our shortcomings.He also is loving and kind. We need to in sincerity turn to Him in our times of trouble and He will help us. Yes worshiping idols is a sin and God forbids us to do so. Sincerely pray to God and ask Him to help you in your situation and God will open a way for you. Slowly open up to your in-laws and show then Gods love and pray for them that they would know Jesus Christ in a personal way. Keep loving them and this way God would touch the hearts of your in-laws and also of your husband. Gods understands our situations and He gives us time to set our life right. Pray sincerely join some church or fellowship and above all start having family prayers every morning and at night apart from the quiet time that you can have with God alone. God will set you free from this Sin and problem. Trust God to help you. You have made the right decision by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. You can never lose. Trust God. We too shall be praying for you sister. If there is anything more to know please leave a note here and I will add to it. God Bless you sister.


I tried OTC acid treatments that attempt to burn them off. That seemed to make them worse, and it hurt. I also tried filing them with a pumice stone, and got the same result. The best thing so far is baby oil followed by lotion. Is there an oil that will soften them more than baby oil?

you can get a cream called heal balm. it really helps. keep using that pumice stone!!!!


I bought this thing on eBay and it hasn't come in 3 weeks, and it was the entire Season 1 and 2 of a certain TV show. Is there any store or place where you can get entire seasons of TV shows?

Please check http://tvshowsondvd.com to check and season if a show has been released on DVD.  BE CAREFUL!!!!! eBay sells DVD's of a lot TV shows that haven't been released yet, if it sounds to good to be true it prob is an illegal copy. These people record them off of TV or other DVD's and burn them onto blank DVD's.


"There are several suggestions for the origin of the name of Iraq; one dates back to the Sumerian city of Uruk (or Erech). Another suggestion is that Iraq comes from the Aramaic language, meaning "the land along the banks of the rivers."\n\nUnder the Sassanid dynasty, there was a region called "Iraq Arabi" which referred to the southern part of modern Iraq. Al-Iraq was the name used by the Arabs themselves for the land since the 6th century"


i was told i can have name approved online. i just want to know how to do it. what site do i go to?

Don't know what state you are in, but you can go directly to your State's Division of Corporations/State Records website and follow the links.\n\nIf you want to start and register a new business, best place to start is the Small Business Administration website at http://www.sba.gov - they have links to all the required documents and to the official state websites for registration.\n\ngood luck


With its history of some of the world’s most splendid civilizations—Egypt, Mali, Ghana, and others—what does Africa have to teach modern Western civilization?

Some curriculums teach that Africa was the\nprimary influence in the knowledge that we\nhave today.  Certainly Egypt had an impact\non civilization, but the Greeks developed an\namazing society, some of which was lost in\nthe rise of the Roman empire and later during\nthe dark ages.  The Renaissance or rediscovering\ncentered around the Greek civilizatin instead of\nEgypt.  Much of Africa has always consisted mostly of\nscattered peoples with little widespread influence.

I smoke 5-8 paralament lights per day, how much would my cances for contracting lung cancer go up if i started to smoke 10? 15? or decreased to 5? 3?. Is there a % value for the increased risk per ciggarate daily? If i switched to my alternate brand Nat Sherman lights, would that help to decrease my risk. I plan to quit when I hit summer vacation in May, but for now I wish to limit my risk. I dont know if total time being a smoker matters; but I have been smoking for 2 years now. 1.5 of those years paralament light, .2 benson and hedges light, and .3 Nat Sherman light. Thanks.

You really need to stop all together to make any difference.  Finding rationalizations and excuses isn't helping.  I quit a few years ago, and it was really hard, but so worth it!  I found the answer was to find the will power deep down and go for it.  YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

I'm majoring in mechanical engineering.  The class I have to take for this major are pure torture.  I was wondering if the actual jobs in industry will be as much hell as are the classes I am taking for it.  I am starting to wonder if all this pain is worth it.

No, you can be confident that the information you are learning will be totally useless when you graduate and get a job.  Instead you will be required to use common sense, a course that cannot be taught.  The secret to being a good Engineer, is knowing what is important info, and what is clutter dream up by academics (this especially applies to Engineering Math - all you will actually have to use is simple operators, percentages and other stuff every 17 year old will know - all Engineers I have spoken to have done no calculus since graduation).


I'm doing a research paper and the only valid informational site is "They Drew Fire." Any other suggestions in order to find more information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a link of Army art. dig aroun there and other links and you may find some info. I am sure the other branches have somthing like this. I went on a tour of the pentagon years ago as a kid and they had an art gallery of famous combat art,, like the " 1000 Yard Stare" Good Luck


During the 1870s, which ties did people wear the most. which were popular.


First, please define perfect. Then, explain how God can be perfect if he created such an imperfect universe. And can God create a rock that he can't lift? Is God really omnipotent? Is God really perfect?

I hate to smash peoples faith, but the definition of perfect doesn't fit their god. I don't believe that any entity can create such a universe, so diverse and large. While only inputting one form of intelligent life. Besides, haven't we already deduced (using scientific data) the creation of the solar system is due to something else entirely? Truth is, we have no way to completely explain anyone's faith. That's why you simply have to accept everything based on faith. I however, would place my faith in the repeatable, and accurate, scientific method.


I believe it is our jobs as christians to talk about Jesus and to spread His words across the lands Act 1:8. And I do belief that even through this forum, it brings glory to Him.

According to my christian faith, if i die today, i would go to heaven, we are saved just by grace through faith in Christ, Ephesians 2:8-9


my bf is always lokoing at girls .  even at home when we watch TV he will stare at the girls .. and only have his eyes on the girl on tv and when shes not on tv anymore he will go back to what he was doing.. like looking on the internet at stuff. and when he hears a girls voice on TV...... he turns his head so fast to see. WHY? is he overly HORNY? EWWWW.

If he is the type to face the crowd in the restaurant, he is not ready to be faithful. He still needs to explore. Like many of us, he loves women in general.\nOr, and I hate to assume this and by no means does it reflect negatively toward you, you just don't hold his attention, he still desires more.


tree business working in florida alabama louisiana and mississippi with no license or insurance and is ripping off customers by collecting half of the total of the job and never returning to the site.

Better Business Bureau cannot really help you - that organization does not have any teeth. All they will do is for you to fill up a complaint form. That's it.\n\nFirst you need to collect proof and hard evidence. Be prepared to do a LOT of follow ups.


I guess it could be -1 as we approach the limits of the two infinities (not sure that makes sense!).\nOr could be undefined.\nOr could be indeterminate.\nDoes anyone know the answer to this one.

The only way to get the expression infinity/-infinity is through a limiting process in the real numbers, so I'll assume you're talking about limits. In that case the form above is indeterminate, meaning that it depends on the functional forms in the limit. \nSuppose you have f(x) and g(x) such that lim [f(x)/g(x)] = infty/-infty. Consider the equivalent expression lim [f(x)/g(x)] = lim [(1/g(x))/(1/f(x))] which approaches the form 0/0. This allows the use of L'Hospital's rule to evaluate the limit, which we know from experience can be anything.


hey, my Grandpa died suddenly last week. \nI'm helping my Grandma and Mom out and I have finals in one week.\nis there any good reason to inform my professors of my situation?  or will it look like i"m just looking for sympathy.  Several of my professors know me by name, so I'm not just an anonymous student.  I would love to hear anyone's opinions, especially those who have gone through a death while in school and from some instructors.\nThanks!

My granda passed the day before i had to take a NY Regent, so i know how your situationm is. 99% of teachers will tell you  that you can get a make-up. At least those with any sympathy or souls will. You should call up the school or the teachers at their homes and explain to them your situation in a respectful manner. You should have no problem. Besides, you have nothing to lose by trying ;-)+

I would love to work at a foreign embassy of the United States, or something similar but I don't know what kind of educational background I should have and where I should start

First and foremost a college degree is a must.  What you decided to major in should deal with something related to international relations, a foreign language, international economics, political science, etc.  A bachelors degree is usually a requirement.  Advanced degrees increase your chances or being hired and increase your pay grade level.  Beyond the education of a university, I would say that international experience is also a must.  This can include living in a another country or studying abroad.  Try to enjoy another country as a native would, and not as a tourist.  The U.S. Dept. of State's website is a great start to a possible career as a foreign service officer or whatever is your heart's desire.  Check http://careers.state.gov/, it seems to be a very knowledgeable website on this matter.  I believe it even has a step-by-step listing of "To Do's"... such as requirements, studying for the Foreign Service test, etc.  Hope this helps and best of luck!


Basically, I have heard there is a company that will move multiple people in one truck to minimize moving expenses.

Yes, I think they all do.  In college I used to drive a truck for NorthAmerican Van Lines.  And we'd always have more than one persons property on our truck at a time.  Typically 2 or 3 houses on a truck.\nThey'd be happy to charge you some money to ship it for you.  They'll just want to know the size and weight.

My cousin has developed a wierd stalker situation on Myspace - some random person is using her picture with fake information to start trouble... my "fake" cousin is using really really old pictures, so we're assuming that it's someone that she knows, but, when she reported it to tom, he responded that he was going to delete both of thier accounts because he couldn't figure out which was the real girl.\n\nis there a way to find out the email used to access the account or the real person or IP of the user? any information that you think would benefit in the search of this pathetic loser would be appreciated.

to the person above.  you can not change your age to 14 without risking your profile getting deleted [this was a warning given out by mygen myspace editor, because a lot of people were getting their pages delete for that very reason].  i would tell your cousin to let tom's team [not really tom] to delete both accounts.  making a new one would be easy + she can make sure that her profile is more safe.


My roommate from college is a naval aviator in the USN.  Is there a 'standard' email address for all servicepeople?  Like maybe one they are issued or something?  For instance, is it lastname.firstname@usn.gov?  Or maybe lastname.middleinitial.firstname@usn.gov?  I'm trying to get back in touch with him and I have never known his family.  Thanks in advance.

usually its their name (last.first, or first.last)  and then @navy.mil\n\nIt varies for how long they've been in.  The convention in the Army is firstname.lastname@us.army.mil\n\nBut that is just the Army.  If you want, look at http://www.navy.mil under a contact section and you will see the Navy Online email addresses.


the colour change on plants when it experiences short days and long night

yes. It is due to the number of hours of daylight or darkness. During spring, plants flower because there is so many hours of daylight


i've been dating this great guy for 7 months. next week we are flying to L.A. for his sister's wedding. (i live in new york city) i will stay with his family for 1 week. i haven't met any of them. i would like to make a good impression. what is the proper etiquette for bringing a gift for them? should i bring food? they are jewish, keep kosher, and persian. i am jewish and russian.\nthank you for your help! :)

Ask your boyfriend what kind of wine they might like.  Bring two bottles.  Maybe pick up a cheese tray and some crackers.  Or even baked goods to have with coffee.  Is there a no fail recipe you have that's your families favorite?  Flowers are good too.  While you are there just be sure to treat your boyfriend with love and respect.  His mom will definitely be watching to see how you treat her baby.  And try to be helpful without being asked, but don't over do it.  Find out ahead of time what their hobbies/interests are and maybe do a little reading up on it before going.  That way you have good topics for conversation with them that they will be interested in.  You'll make a great impression!  Good luck


i get random headachs and end up throughing up? how do i avoid them?

Tie a tourniquette around your neck next time you get a headache, OR you could go to the hospital or doctors office and tell them you have migraines( which you do, by the way) and get PROPER medical advice and attention, rather than ask a bunch of smartasses for advice.

I put my Husband on 5 everyday... Every prayer I have received has helped Thank You

yes i would say it is . every time you request prayer for you husband that shows you have faith that God will answer. i have read your other  questions and I will keep you in my prayers, and know that you are not going through this alone. God Bless and keep the Faith.


We were asked to take a survey 80% of the people wants to go to heaven but don't want to die.20% of the people don't believe in heaven.\nDo you have a clue whatsoever why these people have different opinions.

I believe God gives us the desire to live, or wouldn't we all be committing suicide just to get to Heaven? I am not afraid of death, although I do enjoy my family and want to stay here as long as the Lord will let me.  I have faith in Jesus as my Savior. He paid for my sins with His blood and my faith in what He did for me at Calvary gets me to Heaven. Nothing that I can do - could do that.


do you feel like prophecy is being fulfilled so to speak,do you really think we are in the end times.sorry to be such a downer i know.

it's really easy to ignore and actually despise religion considering what men have used it as an excuse to do, but the answer is to focus on the original message and not those who try to change it to suit their purpose...but to answer your question read 2Timothy 3:1-5 = it's like reading the new york times' headlines but it's not all gloom Rev 21:3,4 says what happens after....not one fullfiled bible prophecy has been proven wrong yet and there are unfulfilled ones to go....just a thought

Here's a link about the Alexander Technique. From what I can tell, it doesn't have much to do with Plato.


so that i can transfer others points to my account.\nhehehe

See its very simple. All you have to do is put a "dummy" question and attract the ones with lotsa points. \n\nThen when they answer that question, they will fall through the dummy question into a pit full of questions and will be lost answering them all. At that right moment you can grab their points and run far far far away... \n\nSee soooo simple.........zzzZZzzzzzzzZZzzzzzz.....


be honest.. just the ones you know. if i use the words "I LOVE YOU", you can just simply seach the net.. lets make it difficult!

Hi I'm writng a c++ program using classes to write a tic tac toe program ( actually it's a Gomoku game, same thing except five in a row instead of 3).  I have the board constructed using a 2 D vector, but now I need to come up with a function (isWinner) that will tell me if a player has five in a row, column or diagonal. Does anyone have a suggestion?   The header file looks like this:\n\nclass Gomoku\n{\nprivate: \nvector<vector<int> > board;//sets up multi D vector\nint size;\npublic:\nGomoku();\nGomoku(int h);//Constructor, takes one integer.\nvoid draw(int);//Draws present board position;takes no argument; no return.\nbool place (int a, int b, int c);//a=player,b=row,c=column\n//puts players stone on board\n//returns true/falsebased on whether move was legal or not.\nbool isWinner (int d, int e);//d=row, e=column; returns boolean indicating if postion is a winn

Well Ill answer this for tic tac toe, and you can extract what I say to fit your Gomoku game.\n\nBecause the state space (the possible winning situations) is small in number when it comes to tic tac toe we can compare the current situation against all the possible winning situations.\n\nsupposing you represent a X by the integer 1, a O by the integer 0 and a not played yet by -1 then you will have some kind of vector that has some configuration of 1's 0's and -1's in it.\n\nThere are 8 possible winning situations for each player (in tic tac toe) for example for player X (or 1) we can compare against:\n\n ((1,-,-),(-,1,-),(-,-,1)) -- horizontal\n ((1,-,-),(1,-,-),(1,-,-)) -- left column\n ((-,1,-),(-,1,-),(-,1,-)) -- middle column\n ((-,-,1),(-,-,1),(-,-,1)) -- right column\n ((1,1,1),(-,-,-),(-,-,-)) -- top row\n ((-,-,-),(1,1,1),(-,-,-)) -- middle row\n ((-,-,-),(-,-,-),(1,1,1)) -- bottom row\n ((-,-,1),(-,1,-),(1,-,-)) -- other horizontal\n\nwhere eash - is a dont care position (that is we dont care what is in it).  You would have the same comparisons against the O player except using 0's instead of 1's.  For more complex games this state space can become too large to be effective but for your question it will work effectively and quickly.\n\ngood luck.


who wants to go out with a hot blond girl

hey sand person don't be rude to my friend Tia


I am for the war. I support our troops. I think that I am the only one that does support the war. I don't like Bush, but i do agree that for what those people did to us they deserve everything that they are getting.

You know it always amazes me when people talk sh*t about the military. They only see the bad things that go on in Iraq and never the good things because they far outnumber the bad. many of the Iraqi people wanted us there and they supported us. Granted we should now pull our troops out  and let the people of Iraq finish getting their country back up and running. Bush did not go into Iraq for oil. I really have no idea where everybody gets that from. Oil was not even thought about when we went into Iraq. \n  for those people who are bashing the military are a bunch of cowards that do not have the guts to serve their own country. Anybody can sit at home and talk shit about how the country is going and about the miltary. So if you really cared about waht is going on then get off you a** and do something otherwise just shut the f**k up. we serve our country becasue we have honor and courage. every man and women in the military know what our ultimate sacrifce can be by serving our country. Beleive me the men and women who have died serving did so doing what they wanted and did so in honor and courage. For some people to talk bad about the military and our country are just a bunch of cowards who have no balls to do something themself. All they know how to is just open their mouths. I think that Bush is overstepping his boundaries but he is doing what he feels is right for us and the iraqi people. If you think that you can do better then get up off your sorry a** and run for president


I've been on it for perhaps 8 months now.

Wellbutrin is a Godsend drug if it's the right one for you.As far as losing its effectiveness, I'm not sure. What I do know is, your chemistry may need an increased dose. Also, you have to consider which one to take; SR or XL. One of the differences in these two is the way they are released. Over 8 hours or over 24, respectively. The best advise I would give is one, be very careful when it comes to just any doctor prescribing this. It can be a dangerous drug. A history of seizures is a big reason not to take it, as an example. You also need to know your depression.(if your taking this for a smoking sessation reasons, it's a whole different ball game except for the medical warnings). A psychiatrist should determine this, in my opinion. There is no stigma in this. You are not crazy. This is a chemical imbalance. The best thing you can do  is educate yourself. You should never take any drug because someone prescribed it. This could be the wrong drug for your depression. You may need to try several to get the results that decrease your symptoms. Take charge of your body. I'ts your responsibility too; not just your doctors. Good luck.


Since there are so many derivative products from stocks and many invest in them believing they are safer than investing in stocks, should it be considered a better investment or an additional investment for someone who wants to diversify their portfolio?\n\n Also, can you insure these investments from depreciating drastically?\n\n  What are some investments that carry a safety net, e.g. does not go down more than X% and still X% above initial purchase value?\n\n Can you provide an example how an initial investment of $22 Mil yield an annual return of $10 Mil pre tax?

I would use derivatives as an insurance policy to have a good night sleep, because derivatives can limit your potential loss, although it does not come without a price (like insurance premium). For example, you invest in Google shares, but you're afraid that the stock price might suddenly go down. To hedge this risk, you buy a put option, which will give you the right to sell the stock at a predetermined price (so called strike price). So, you will limit the loss to a fixed %. The price you have to pay for it is the price of the put option. So, even if you buy "at the money" (strike=current stock price ) or "in the money" (strike > current price) put, you still can suffer a potential loss on your total investment, because you paid for the put. But you will know for sure the minimum return you will get. A combination of a put and a call, or shorting some of the derivatives will allow you to limit both upside and downside. A guaranteed no-loss investment will a have very limited upside potential. Why not to buy Government securities instead?\n\nIn your example you are asking for 45% annual return. Portfolio with such expected return will carry a lot of risk.


It comes from the TV show Eat My Shorts on Nickelodeon, but I can't remember the rest of the lyrics.  I don't think I spelled the camp name right either.

Prefer total free weights, more free weights than machines, machines more or nearly always stick with the machines? I understand different choices must be out of different needs, please share with us. For myself 70% free weights, 30% with the machines of which nearly half is using cables. Also I am interested in how you guys plan your weight, rep, set and rest time.

I prefer free weights because then I know both side of my body are working equally, plus they allows for more natural movement than machines.

Does anyone know the origin of these words and their uses?

I don't know about you, but I park on the driveway because my garage needs cleaning.\n\nPark, like many English words, has several synonyms.  The verb "park" means to put your car in a place where it can stay for extended period of time.\n\nThe noun "park" however, usually means an area of land set aside for public use.\n\nIn both words, "way" means a road used mainly for access - the you drive on the parkway to get to the park.  Of course, then you drive on the driveway to get to the .....  garage.  But the main point of the driveway is for driving.

You want more out of this relationship than he does and he's already getting from you want he wants. Do you understand?

my bf loves the fact that he has a huge penis.  it makes me wonder if he wants to go show it off to girls and cheat on me cuz he is always lookin at girls.  but hes with me.. so that makes me happy.

Boy, you hit that nail on the head. Once a guy gets that feeling he will go for it as often as possible. It has been said that a woman needs a reason to have sex, a guy just needs a place. You are going to have to get over him. Get to know yourself better and get the most out of life. Sex is the one percent of life. This guy is making the one percent into the ninety-nine percent, ultimately it will get him into trouble. You don't want to be a part of that.

What type does she normally choose? That and blood/gore don't mix well with dating, and that is the basis of the only horror movies in theaters now. I suggest a comedy, maybe "Failure to Launch" or "She's the Man".


We'll me and my boyfriend have been goin ouut for 3 months now but we fight all the time....We don't realy trust eachother as much as we should but we love eachother very much but sometimes i just don't feel that strong love feeling i use to feel..I can't figure out if his just not the one or if were just having tough love...This might sound complacated but if u can help please e-mail me back! Thanks...*L*

without trust you have nothing.  So figure it out sweety.  It is not worth it to argue with someone.  Relationships are based on happiness.  Yes, there will be fights but not all the time.  I think it is more that you are not compatible.


I heard a person was joking using the above phrase. What exactly he meant?

You shouln'd be talking about sex in here... this is a serious community...


Girls always say the want the nice guy, that theres none left, however they go for the ones that treat them bad, why is this? I used to be a nice guys until I noticed thats not what girls want, whats going on?

Not even. I think the mistake is guys mistake being 'bad' as the same thing as being aggresive. If you know what you want, and you make it clear you want her but won't compromise yourself to have her, she'll respect that. And if she respects you, she's more likely to develp feelings for you.


if any event being organised, then where and whom to contact?

We're trying to get him to move here, but want to avoid getting married for the wrong reasons.  How can be apply for a greencard?

As a British citizen now in the US here is my two pence. Some options - (1) He can come as a tourist for six months at a time. He cannot legally work when he is here. Don't know your financial situation. (2) He can get a H1. He will need to have a degree and some experience and get a company in the US to sponsor him. If he has a IT / technical background and/or a Masters this is easier. (3) There are many Visa options based on his skill set eg- Highly educated and skilled or some very specialized skill. the USCI site has information on it. (4) Invest money in a US based business, employ people and get a visa to operate the business.\n\nSo the only real options is coming over is a temporary tourist or some kind of professional route.


I just turned 18 last month. My friends call me "Baby Girl" because I'm being treated like a baby by my mama. And the worst part about it is that I barely see my boyfriend because of her. Now, he's saying that if we barely see each other what's the point of being together? HELLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!

The only thing you have to consider is where you are living.  Yes, you're 18 and an adult but if you are still living under your mother's roof then you need to follow her rules.  Still, there's no reason that you can't talk to her like an adult and explain that you would like some more freedom.  The biggest part of this is how much she trusts you.  If you've given her reasons to think that you can make good decisions then you're likely to get what you're looking for.  If you've shown her you can't, she's likely as not to tell you to follow her rules.

Who is Jesus Christ? Unlike the question, "Does God exist?", very few people have questioned whether Jesus Christ existed. It is generally accepted that Jesus was truly a man who walked on the earth in Israel almost 2000 years ago. The debate begins when the subject of Jesus' full identity is discussed. Almost every major religion teaches that Jesus was a prophet, or a good teacher, or a godly man. The problem is, the Bible tells us that Jesus was infinitely more than a prophet, a good teacher, or a godly man.\n\n \n\nC.S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity writes the following: "I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [Jesus Christ]: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on a level with a man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse .... You can shut him up for fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any  patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that option open to us. He did not intend to.”\n\n \n\n      So, who did Jesus claim to be? Who does the Bible say He was? First, let's look at Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” At first glance, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. However, look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement, “We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood Jesus’ statement to be a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). John 8:58 is another example. Jesus proclaimed, “I tell you the truth, Jesus answered, before Abraham was born, I am!” Again, in response, the Jews take up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Jesus announcing His identity as “I am” is a direct application of the Old Testament name for God (Exodus 3:14). Why would the Jews again want to stone Jesus if He hadn’t said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God?\n\n \n\nJohn 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Thomas the disciple declared to Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. The Apostle Paul describes Him as, “…our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). The Apostle Peter says the same, “…our God and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1). God the Father is witness of Jesus’ full identity as well, “But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.” Old Testament prophecies of Christ announce His deity, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”\n\n \n\nSo, as C.S. Lewis argued, believing Jesus to be a good teacher is not an option. Jesus clearly and undeniably claimed to be God. If He is not God, then He is a liar, and therefore not a prophet, good teacher, or godly man. In attempts to explain the words of Jesus away, modern “scholars” claim the “true historical Jesus” did not say many of the things the Bible attributes to Him. Who are we to argue with God’s Word concern

Jesus Christ WILL SAVE.\n\nWhether we CHOOSE to acknowledge him or ignore him is our own business.\n\nI prefer to acknowledge him myself :)


i just called them and they offered unlimited internet access for 49.99, with speed up to 56k, is that equivalent to old dial-up? how is it compared to other providers, like verizon? thanks!

I am trying to install A Dlink USb adapter DWL-G122 to my laptop. I keep getting runtime error 10 after installing all the software & drivers. I have completely reinstalled windows xp pro with all updates after a fresh formating of the hardrive. The computer does not recongize the device when I plug it into the usb. It does when I plug any other device in...I spoke with Dlink & they said it is my computer that's the problem. I have run registry programs to fix any errors that might have been on the drive. This did work on this computer when I first got it. I turned the computer off one day & restarted it was not there? So, I decided to refresh the computer with the format & fresh install of windows figuring that would fix it...NOPE!!! Can anyone help?

When you plug a USB device into a USB port it will try and detect it...The fact that you plug it in and do not see the Windows has detected new hardware tells you that the device is defective...assuming that when plug another USB device into the same port that it does detect the device...


Nice guys finish last because they are smarter. A good thing is always worth waiting for. They usually are more humble than most and have no need for the 'glory'of being first. Trust me humility makes you a better man and a better lover.


We were best friends before, he loves me and he told me too, but the day he told me, we stopped talking because I didnt reply. He thought I didnt love him and so did I, But now I think I love him. How do I say this to him? He still loves me but I feel odd to tell him? what do you thik is the best way to let him know?

Give the best you can. give him the most precious thing.  Try not to be artificial. Be rather real. Appriciate him whatever he does. \nHold on to his hands, hug him Tight in your arm. \nDo not try to make him jelous.\nShow his importance in your life. \nKeep him above your frnds.


How does that work? Some soap is made from olive oil yet removes oil.\n\nThanks.

Hi there,\n\nSoap is able to remove oil from our skin because while you've rightly pointed out soap is made from oil, its chemical and molecular structure consists of 2 main parts that are attracted to oily substances (known as the hydrophobic part) and a part that is attracted to water-based or aqueous substances (known as the hydrophilic part). Because of this property, soap can break up the oil on our skin and bind it to the water- Allowing us to remove the oil from our skin.  As an aside, you should know that normally Water and Oil dont mix at all- If you add some some liquid soap to a mixture of water and oil you will notice that the oil and water will mix togther!! This is how the soap works to remove the oil from our skin by allowing the water you apply during a shower to mix and "wash" away the oil+soap mixture from our skin.  I hope that answers your question :-)


i am just wondering, what were the prosecution's weak points, and did the defense (micheal jackson) find any loopholes in the system that helped him win his case? Was there any lack of admissable evidence?  I find this case very interesting.  I was so sure that Jackson would be convicted.

Jacko's smart enough to pick victims with built-in credibility issues (all from single-parent homes), and the defense did a masterful job picking apart the whack-job mother, Janet Arvizo. There was some evidence that wasn't allowed in to court because of defense fears of the jury being "prejudiced" by it - I'm sure some of this information is found in the links others have provided.\n\nWhat's interesting about all these molestations is that the one kid (Jordie Chandler) who could describe Jacko's privates (and have police photos corroborate his descriptions) got $15-20 million in hu$h money, whereas other victims received lesser sums. The Arvizos got spa treatments and shopping sprees - I guess that investment was cheaper than another $20+ million, though, huh? Then again, California Civil Code 1669.5, brought about because of Jacko's hu$h money payoff to the Chandlers, prevents such hu$h money payoffs as being contrary to public policy. See the first link below for the law's exact text.\n\nThe second link is a page a friend of mine put together some time ago and is rather informative - and you simply *must* read the "Apologist's Creed." : D

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11567350/site/newsweek/\n\nRead the link first please!  \nNow, does this make no sense?  Aren't these the people complaining about violence on TV and in games?  How does killing even in the name of God make it any better than any other game?

I'm a Christian and all but, that's just plain...idiotic I would never play something like that. What's the point? \n\nAnd no, it makes absolutely no sense. These people are simply stupid and hypocritical. God, or any other religion for that matter shouldn't promote killing in the name of God--in the name of anything. \n\nSheesh, these are the type of people that make Christians look bad. They aren't true Christians. They are deluded morons who are so stuck in their saintly appearances to the point of figuring out ways of entertaining fellow Christians through crazy games. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But, you're right. It's stupid. And sort of spoof like. I would imagine South Park doing something like that.\n\nLol. If you think that's bad check this guy out:\nhttp://www.truechristian.com/ \n\nHe's clearly lost his marbles.


I don't like this and it creeps me out.\nIf they were honestly 'good christians'  wouldn't they just keep that to themselves?  Or are they  just trying to look good in front of others?If I was a satanist and told them I would pray for them (or whatever the equivalent wood be)  wouldn't they be greatly offended?\n\n\n\nI find it quite offensive to be told someone is going to pray for me,  I have my reasons for not believing and they are valid.\nI don't need to pretend anyone other than myself is responsible for my life.\n\n\nIF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO PREACH GO ANSWER ANOTHER QUESTION!!\nThat is why this was not put in the religion section!\nThanx in advance.

You will be in my prayers my son.\n\nI have a small shrine in my basement. It is adorned with images of all kinds of religious deities, including pez dispensers, effigies of our lord saviour jesus christ, slurpee wrappers and empty (but washed) beer bottles.\n\nYour problem will be discussed with all of the gods tonight and you will feel blessed relief by morning. \n\nOr at least I will when I get out my "hustler god" later on.


plz plz help! i’m really stuck and i’ve spent the whole day looking for a program which will play the file. [.torrent] i’ve tried Windows Media Player and a few other stuff but they don’t seem to work.

a .torrent ifle is not something you play, \ninstead what you can do is use a pgoram like bittorrent or bitcomet to run the file. This will download the file you are looking for.


What do you do when your a 16 yr. old high school female who feels weighed down by school, the pressures of skipping w/ friends && fitting in, talking to guys, AND balancing a part time job on the side....not to mention, your home life isnt the greatest either....I'm not contemplating suicide or anything crazi like that, jus feelin kinda....depressed i guess...what do u guys do when things become too much to handle?

Take it from someone who has been there and who is now about 15 years older, slow down and enjoy being young. Concentrate hard on school, getting good grades, and definately try to go to college. You definately need your education to suceed in life. Employers will pass you up for the good jobs and promotions without it, no matter how hard you work and dedicate yourself to your job. I am now trying to go back and further my education. Please don't skip school! I wish I would not have. When it is to late you can't turn back the clock. People told me this and I ignored them, Please take my advice!!

Lets just say that "A FRIEND of MINE" is having some problems with a certain "LITTLE BROTHER". should I, (i mean "SHE") kill him or just lock him in the closet fore three days until they're parents come home?

no, sit down and have a n conversation and if her gets two out of control then call up a reltive and tell them to take him for three days.. don't lock him in the closet because he will tell and you will get grounded for a couple months!!\ni kno i have tryied!!


i filed online, my state return was here quickly but i dont know where my federal is!!! Both me and my wife filed on the same day and she has gotten both returns over 3 weeks ago. Is there a website i can check the status of my return or a phone # i can call?

go to www.irs.gov and click on where is my refund.  They can give you the status, or if there is a problem with your return, they can give you a number to call. If you owe any back child support or taxes, they can take your refund toward any past due amounts, including student loans.  Good luck to you.


It is late at night, a cop on patrol sees a pickup truck speeding. He turns on his lights to pull the driver over, but driver does not stop. The driver even turns off his vehicles lights while driving. Driver finally pulls off the road into a subdivision, but not pulling over to the side of the road. Instead pulls into someone's driveway (driver does NOT know the people and has no reason to be there). Cop has continued to follow, with lights going. Cop tells driver several times to get out of the vehicle. The vehicle is a newer model, extended cab, with dark windows that can't be seen through. After several times of telling the driver to get out, the cop starts to approch the truck. The truck starts coming back towards the cop, at that point the cop fears for his life and that the driver is trying to run him down. He shoots through the window in area of where the driver is. Driver and a passenger right behind him is killed. They are in their 20, have 4 underage teens in the vehicle.

I am probably in the same camp as everyone else, but would want some clarification.\n\nMust people here seem to have taken the position the truck was being backed towards the officer, but that's not what was stated in the question.  The question says the truck "starts coming back towards the cop," which does not necessarily imply that it was being *driven* back...it might have been rolling because the drunk took his foot off the brake.  I don't know that I think it makes a difference, though...it just would be nice if we knew that the truck was indeed being intentionally used as a dangerous weapon (like maybe the engine racing, the backup lights coming on, etc).\n\nAnd I wonder if you're curious about the innocent passenger who was killed, also.  Was his death justified?  No.  But it was accidental, and I don't think what I've read here makes me think it was criminally negligent. \n\nAn interesting question.  I wonder what makes you ask?\n\nEdit 3.20.06:\n\nFor those who say the cop should have (basically) run away, or cowered and waited for backup, here's the law in California, and I'd guess in most states:\n\n835a.  Any peace officer who has reasonable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has committed a public offense may use reasonable force to effect the arrest, to prevent escape or to overcome resistance.\n   A peace officer who makes or attempts to make an arrest need not retreat or desist from his efforts by reason of the resistance or threatened resistance of the person being arrested; nor shall such officer be deemed an aggressor or lose his right to self-defense by the use of reasonable force to effect the arrest or to prevent escape or to overcome resistance.\n\nI still have my concerns with the whole thing, but to suggest the police should have to run (or hide) from criminals is just plain ridiculous.  You don't want to live in a society that tells its cops they have to back off when they're trying to do their job.

why do some women have pink nipples and some have brown colored nipples?  for example, i have red hair and mine are pink, but my friend who has black hair, hers are brown.  does anyone know what makes all the difference in the color?

Its all just genetics, the more dominant genes define what colour shape and size of everything about you is.

It seems to me that since crossing the border illegaly is a crime, those who do it should at least be deported, but they're given driver's licences and allowed to work. What is the point of having immigration laws if you're not going to enforce them?

Because they serve a purpose; they do work that no one else wants to do, and for little money at that.  Also, many have citizen children once they get here, and that complicates things.  However, shipping out all the immigrants just isn't feasible, nor will it solve America's problems.


Iam a lady aged 27 yrs married for 7 yrs.My husband is the youngest in their family followed by 2 elder sisters.The problem is Iam over possessive towards my hubby.Whenever we go to his sister's houses my husband is looked after well,he enjoys being with them.They tease me and make fun of me.I become sad and cry within my self.My sisterinlaw(first one)chidren are living with us and we dont have any privacy between us.This makes me irritated,nd my hubby always has affection towards his sister"s family.I have a daughter age 4,My sisterinlaws love my daughter,and they in mind to get my daughter married to thier son who is in 7th std latter when they grow up.IO feel very depressed when my husband talks to his sisters or their children.I even went to the stage of mixing (hit cockroach spray)along with tea and drank it. Nothing happened to me .I want death and iam trying my level best to die.but god somehow helps me.

Depressive disorders make one feel exhausted, worthless, helpless, and hopeless. Such negative thoughts and feelings make some people feel like giving up. It is important to realize that these negative views are part of the depression and typically do not accurately reflect the situation. Negative thinking fades as treatment begins to take effect. In the meantime: \nSet realistic goals and assume a reasonable amount of responsibility. \nBreak large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can.\nTry to be with other people and to confide in someone; it is usually better than being alone and secretive.\nParticipate in activities that may make you feel better.\nMild exercise, going to a movie, a ballgame, or participating in religious, social, or other activities may help. \nExpect your mood to improve gradually, not immediately. Feeling better takes time. \nIt is advisable to postpone important decisions until the depression has lifted. Before deciding to make a significant transition--change jobs, get married or divorced--discuss it with others who know you well and have a more objective view of your situation. \nPeople rarely "snap out of" a depression. But they can feel a little better day by day.\nRemember, positive thinking will replace the negative thinking that is part of the depression and will disappear as your depression responds to treatment.\nLet your family and friends help you. \n\nSelf help for depression\n\nEffective therapy needs to incorporate everything that works in lifting depression. You may be able to help yourself effectively, although often it is useful to get the help of a professional.\n\nHere we'll go through what you can do, as well as what you should look for in any therapy you choose to undergo.\nWhat you can do to help yourself\n\n1) Know about your condition - what you know about your depression has been shown to have an effect on well you respond to treatment. Take the Depression Learning Path - it's the best way to start helping yourself.\n\n2) Cut down on rumination. Do whatever you can to decrease the amount of rumination you are doing. (Ruminating is 'chewing over' emotional issues in your mind without coming to any decision to act.)\n\nIf possible, decide to put off difficult decisions for 1 or 2 weeks while you get your energy back.\n\nWays to cut down rumination are to:\n\na) Stop yourself when you spot yourself doing 'all or nothing' thinking. (See thinking styles)\nb) Read novels when you have nothing to do, to occupy your mind. (Make them exciting novels, not romance or self help books!)\nc) Do exercise (see 5)\nd) Work if you can\ne) Keep yourself occupied as much as possible in ways that stop you thinking too much!\n\n3) Find ways to assess and monitor your depressive episodes - The way depression makes us adopt all or nothing thinking is a unique and crucial part of understanding depression. The way depression makes us generate seemingly hopeless outcomes to our situation can make it almost impossible to see a way out of it. \n\nFinding ways to gauge your depression can help to show the shades of gray, that will ultimately defeat the black and white thinking on which depression thrives. This is often done in the form of a diary, where you grade how bad your days have been on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best. Then, after 2 weeks or so, you can look back and see how things have varied over that time. \n\n4) Lower your emotional arousal levels calming down emotions such as anxiety and anger helps your brain function more subtly and decreases the amount of catastrophising you do. Along with getting proper rest, being able to relax is incredibly important.\n\nRelaxation therapies are effective in overcoming some of the other issues that can co-occur with depression. The effects of panic attacks, anxiety and anger, etc can be lessened and overcome with the ability to relax properly and deeply. Physi


I cant decide which of two schools I want to attend. One is 16 hours from my longterm boyfriend and one is only a few hours. Of course I would love to say we'll be together forever, but I dont know that. Would it be ok to allow the boyfriend to be a small factor in my choice? If we ever broke up we'd be far enough away, but I dont know if Im just maing excuses. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As long as the choice between the two schools is honestly equal in terms of your future and what you want then I see no reason why being closer to your boyfriend wouldn't be a legitimate tie breaker.


I was just thinking about this & ppl say tht rape has 2 do with mental issues or control. however i think its just a hate crime. so what have we done to annoy yall so much

It has nothing to do with the woman.  The man has power issues--he wants control in an unhealthy way.


....they tend to wander downstairs to the family room to watch videos or chat online, and ignore their own kids ages 2, 3 & 6.  Hubby suffering from cancer & chemo, and we have a 6-year-old boy.  That leaves me (not their biological grandmother) wondering if I should just go ahead and watch/entertain all 4 of them, or make an issue out of the inconsideration of the parents just abandoning them and assuming that "somebody" will watch them.  I run a business out of my home and usually have either desk work or household chores to get done, and frankly don't enjoy babysitting kids at all.  I do enjoy cooking big meals for the gang.  I prefer not to make a huge deal out of it, and I especially don't want to be seen as selfish with my time or uncaring of my "grandkids."  But it's getting so that their visits, usually once every month or two, are something I dread entirely, while my husband is very excited to seem them all, as much as possible, but he can't really tend to the young ones.

I have a problem similar to yours. However, my step children don't visit often, and they are teenagers. My husband gets excited when they are coming, but when they get here, it's like they do whatever they want to do. If I try to set them straight, it causes problems between my husband and me. The best thing you can do is sit your husbands kids down and have a heart to heart talk with them. You have a life too, which includes more than just your step children. Tell them that they need to try and help out with the grandchildren when they are there. If they respect you enough, they will listen and not be upset with you. Good Luck!


For some strange reason I wasn't they made me feel right at home and 10yrs later they still do =-)

for the 1st time i was but no for the 2nd and the 3rd so please wish me luck for the 4th and years after that...\n\nfor your case, i think you are very lucky, it means your mate's family is the nice one (like mine =) ) good luck then...


i mean, they're good, but PLEASE! just make a question search and you will find green day mentioned TONS of times! the same questions are asked, over and over and over again, and it bugs people who listen to real music, not just mass produced top-40s stuff. am i right or am i right?

Amen. No one wants to hear the same stuff a million times.


these days IRAN has done alot to make a good affects. they allowthe others to go there and check their powerplanet as much as they want. and they coudent find any thing. I myself think they have right to use peaceful nuclear energy. america,isreal and many other countries have atomic bomb. why they can not even use this energy?????

Iran has NOT allowed the IAEA inspectors to do their jobs. If Iran's intentions were as they say, they should have no problem with the Russian offer to have the enrichment facilities in Russia.\n\nGiven the Iranian government's statements regarding Israel and "causing harm and pain" to the US because they got referred to the UN Security Council, how can we think for one minute that their efforts are peaceful. Their rhetoric sounds like it could have very easily come from Bin Laden or another Islamo-fascist zealot bent on murdering anyone whose views differ from their own.\n\nThe asker asks why Iran cannot use nuclear energy. The world has no issue with this. Iran is welcome to use nuclear energy to bring electricity to its people. You can be damn sure, however, that the world isn't going to turn a blind eye while a fundamentalist state enriches uranium against UN and IAEA requests.


I often see unmarked planes that don't fly in commercial airpaths that leave trails in the sky, sometimes up to a dozen of them at a time, sometimes parallel to each other, and sometime perpendicular.  After a while, these clouds spread out and either become a haze or become "clouds" and when the sun passes behind them there is usually a rainbow of pink and yellow, and sometimes green, definately not normal. \n \nI know all about water vapor trails (con-trails) but those dissipate rather quickly (usually within a few minutes), but these clouds stay all day and end up creating weird colors and patterns in the sky.\n\nPlease visit my gallery of pictures I took at http://weathermodification.shutterfly.com to see what I'm talking about if you don't already know what I mean.

You are referring to "Chem-trails." Supposedly the government or some shadow agency is testing various chemicals on the environment or American citizens (depend on which "investigator" you talk to). Chem-trails are usually distinguished by heavy air traffic in an area, often times forming a criss-cross patterns. Such reports are also often accompanied by unexplained sickness or asthma. On occasion, someone also claims that the chemicals will produce odd substances on the ground the next morning (sometimes described as a crystalline structure, other times spider-webby).\n\nYour pictures, however, only show one trail (which appears to be a con-trail) and some pretty clouds (probably the result of pollution, though other natural explanations are available as well). In all likelihood, your pictures are nothing more than scenic.\n\nAs to if chem-trails are real, I've never seen a reliable source report them, nor have I ever seen any compelling evidence put forth.


mine is johnny depp and reese witherspoon

Johnny Depp is one of the most under rated actors at the minute and I think it's because he has a face of an angel! But poor Johnny tries to escape this so much by taking roles that allow him to experiment with his acting abilities- Willy Wonka, The Secret Window,The Ninth Gate and nearly every other film he's done. And good for him not to take the typical pretty boy roles. ALL HAIL JOHNNY!!!\nOh and I think Susan Surrandon (dunno if I spelt that right!) Sean Penn and Edward Norton are great actors too.
