There are big cats, like lions and tigers; and there are domesticated cats. Are there cats which are considered medium sized? Surely there must be some sort of common ancestor, otherwise what accounts for the size variations?

The caracal, the ocelot, the lynx, the puma, the African wildcat are all in between the big cats and the house cats (except the African wildcat which is similar in size to a house cat).  As far as common ancestry, many cat species are unrelated and follow lines back to their own common ancestor, but not to one common to all cats.  Darwin was wrong.


she woke up this morning and her eyes were all gooey and red and puffy. it hurts and she can hardly keep her eyes open. she doesn't have a fever but she has a cold. she tried putting a wet washcloth on them but it didn't really help. any ideas?? should we call a doctor?

You should call a doctor, but it sounds like conjunctivitis, more commonly known as pink eye.  It usually only pops up in one eye, but sometimes it will infect both at the same time.  For some reason I have gotten pink eye almost every year for the past 5 years in the summer to fall season change.  She could also have develped an allergy.  If she keeps a warm washcloth on them it should help, but definitely get to a doctor as they will prescribe eye drops that should clear it up in a few days.  Another tip to help so she does not get reinfected-wash towels, sheets, blankets or anything that her eyes, face or hands come in contact with daily.  The germs will stay on soft surfaces like that.  Good Luck!


about the safety precautions when swimming

if you are like chuck norris always make a finomonal entry by cannon balling in from the roof or by takeing sleeping pills i like taking the shock by putting my hairdryer in the water


some ppl here say (in there answers or qustions)that USA should nuke Iran so Iranians understand that they aren't suppose to have a nuclear bomb!

what about Korea & Russia? what makes the US goverment think it has the right to go into other countries and dictate how the country should be run. I thought the US was about democrocy and freedom of speech etc,but when it comes to other countries they seem to invade and dictate how the US wants it run, isn't that communisim


It's such a common thing now (e.g. 'Lewinskygate')

I suppose the first closest thing to Watergate (i.e. a REAL "-Gate", if you like) was Reagan's Iran-gate, "featuring/starring" Oliver North as the fall guy, etc. :-)

I discovered when I was a bit younger that I like a little anal stimulation  while having sex.  I've never tried anal sex...I'm afraid it may hurt.  But anyway...ever since the discovery and the break-up with the one that introduced me to this, I've been afraid to tell new lovers for fear that they may think it's "yucky".  So, do I, and if so, how, do I let my partner know that this is what I want?  Also, IS this "yucky" or are there others that do this too?  If there are others out there that that do this, please explain why it feels so damn good.  Is there anything wrong with me for liking this?

This is completely normal ...both straight men and women enjoy this.. It is important to be open and honest about your likes & dislikes with your partner in order to have a great sex life.


I have slight swelling of my right lower leg.  The endocrinologist discovered it today.  I asked her if it was caused by diabetes and she said, "Not diabetes per se."  That was all she said.  What condition might this be?  I'm going back in one month.

There are a number of conditions which may cause this aside from diabetes- Swelling and inflammation of the blood vessels, either surface (phlebitis) or deep (deep vein thrombosis) can cause swelling.  Hormonal changes may cause water retention which can collect in the legs, low blood pressure can cause blood pooling, and high blood pressure can cause edema.  Diabetes tends to exacerbate each of these conditions-in addition, it can cause nephritis, resulting in water retention, and it is associated with many vascular problems.  It isn't likely to be due to neuropathy because you have no pain or numbness in the limb.


The Higgs field is thought to be mediated by the theoretical Higgs Boson (a subatomic particle), which is believed to imbue mass (i.e. resistance to acceleration) to certain subatomic particles. Could anyone share their understanding of how the Higgs Boson, and/or the Higgs field actually work?

The Higgs boson is a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model of particle physics. It is the only Standard Model particle not yet observed, but plays a key role in explaining the origins of the mass of other elementary particles, in particular the difference between the massless photon and the very heavy W and Z bosons. Elementary particle masses, and the differences between electromagnetism (caused by the photon) and the weak force (caused by the W and Z bosons), are critical to many aspects of the structure of microscopic (and hence macroscopic) matter; thus if it exists, the Higgs boson has an enormous effect on the world around us.\n\nAs of 2006, no experiment has directly detected the existence of the Higgs boson, but there is some indirect evidence for it. The Higgs boson was first predicted in 1963 by the British physicist Peter Higgs, working from the ideas of Philip Anderson, and independently by others.\nThe particle called Higgs boson is in fact the quantum of one of the components of a Higgs field. In empty space, the Higgs field acquires a non-zero value, which permeates every place in the universe at all times. This vacuum expectation value (vev) of the Higgs field is constant and equal to 246 GeV. The existence of this non-zero vev plays a fundamental role: it gives mass to every elementary particle, including to the Higgs boson itself. In particular, the acquisition of a non-zero vev spontaneously breaks the electroweak gauge symmetry, a phenomenon known as the Higgs mechanism. This is the only known mechanism capable of giving mass to the gauge bosons that is also compatible with gauge theories.\n\nIn the Standard Model, the Higgs field consists of two neutral and two charged component fields. One of the neutral and the charged component fields are Goldstone bosons, which are massless and unphysical. They become the longitudinal third-polarization components of the massive W and Z bosons. The quantum of the remaining neutral component corresponds to the massive Higgs boson. Since the Higgs field is a scalar field, the Higgs boson has spin zero. This means that this particle has no intrinsic angular momentum and that a collection of Higgs bosons satisfies the Bose-Einstein statistics.\n\nThe Standard Model does not predict the value of the Higgs boson mass. It has been argued that if the mass of the Higgs boson lies between about 130 and 190 GeV, then the Standard Model can be valid at energy scales all the way up to the Planck scale (1016 TeV). However, most theorists expect new physics beyond the Standard Model to emerge at the TeV-scale, based on some unsatisfactory properties of the Standard Model. The highest possible mass scale allowed for the Higgs boson (or some other electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism) is around one TeV; beyond this point, the Standard Model becomes inconsistent without such a mechanism because unitarity is violated in certain scattering processes. Many models of Supersymmetry predict that the lightest Higgs boson (of several) will have a mass only slightly above the current experimental limits, at around 120 GeV or less.


All my friends say I treat all my boyfriends like total crap but they keep coming back.Why?

You should be careful, someday you might get lonely and then you would have found a real answer to your behaviour!


Im due to have an EEG on tues to check for Epilepsy, is there anything I should avoid to make sure the result is accurate?

it is importain to be sleep deprived for the test. everything else should be done as you normally would do. the things they do during the test could possibly cause you to have a seizure...for example you'll have to do a breathing excersise which is basically hyperventilation and you'll do that for approximately 3-5 mins. theyll ask you to take a nap and seizures and interictal activity may show up then as well also they will put a strobe light in front of your eyes and blink it at different frequencies.\n\nthis test is noninvasive and the only thing that may affect your test would be some drugs like barbituates and other street drugs...caffeine will increase your beta waves but nothing significant and prescriptions like prozac will make fast eye movements show up on the test but all of that can be differentiated from epileptic activity\n\nthe epileptic activity they would be looking for may or may not show up. that would depend on what area of the brain the originate from. if you have experienced seizures in the past it is very importain to describe in detail how it began...like an aura (strange smells, seeing lights, strange feelings like intense deja vu or being unable to talk; even embarrasing auras like sexual feelings right before a seizure) this information will help with determining the area of the brain that the seizure comes from.\n\nthe only bad part of the test is that there will be a little bit of paste left in your hair the good thing is though it washes right out\n\ni hope this helps


In 1705 Edmond Halley predicted, using Newton's newly formulated laws of motion, that the comet seen in 1531, 1607, and 1682 would return in 1758 (which was, alas, after his death). The comet did indeed return as predicted and was later named in his honor. \n\nThe average period of Halley's orbit is 76 years  but you cannot calculate the dates of its reappearances by simply subtracting multiples of 76 years from 1986. The gravitational pull of the major planets alters the orbital period from revolution to revolution. Nongravitational effects (such as the reaction from gasses boiled off during its passage near the Sun) also play an important, but smaller, role in altering the orbit. Between the years 239 BC and 1986 AD the orbital period has varied from 76.0 years (in 1986) to 79.3 years (in 451 and 1066). The closest perihelion passage to the time of Jesus are 11 BC and 66 AD; neither event took place in Jesus' lifetime. Its most famous appearance was in 1066 when it was seen at the Battle of Hastings, an event commemorated in the Bayeux Tapestry.


r their any electronics encyclopedia.\nif yes please inform me imediately.


I get nearly 20 missed calls a day.  Many times I will intentionally fill up my voice mailbox so not another person can leave me a message asking me to do something for them! People get so offended when I don't return a phone call or pick up my cell- am I under some kind of moral obligation to do so? Am i being rude?

That does seem very high volume (20 missed calls), but it depends on what its for. If these are just friends being needy then ignoring them will probably drive them away pretty quick and solve the problem. \n\nThere's no moral obligation to pick up your phone but if they are valid questions which are your responsiblity to handle then yes it is rude to not ever call them back.\n\nSince you say they're friends and family, then no, absolutely not. Change your message to say, if you're not in the emergency room or on the side of the road don't expect a call back unless you make it worth my while. Maybe if you can keep it light and have a sense of humor about it you can put them off without offending anybody.

Im not sure if I spely nuropathy right, but it has to do with the nerves in your legs dying. I think its along the same lines as MS. Its been in my fathers side of the family for many generations. My grandmother, her kids and now Im begening to feel the effects. Any oyther info would be great thanx.

Neuropathy is just a general medical term for any condition that affects the nervous system.\n\n"Peripheral neuropathy" is any condition affecting the peripheral nerves, such as in the legs.  A common cause of peripheral neuropathy is Diabetes.  Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause it.  Both can 'run in families'.\n\nWhat has your doctor told you about this 'family' condition?\n\nI can't really offer much more than this. \n\nBest wishes.


Do you have to serve the whole time that the courts give you, or can you get out before, on a minor offense.

Most times they will let you out early for good behavior (depending on the crime) If it was a federal charge then you will serve day for day.

Okay I'm so stupid. I'm on my period right now and I just found my old pack of pills on the floor and I forgot to take the last pill in the cycle. I'm like days into my period. \n\nSo do I\n\na. Continue on with the period and start the next pack on the regular day (Wed)\nb. Continue on with the period and start the next back a day earlier because I ended a day earlier (Tues)\n\nOr does it not really matter one way or the other. I'm not having sex. But I do need to get a Pap done in the first week that I'm on the new pack.

Well if you are haveing sex then take them but if you are not you should start on a regular day


had a lawyer on contingency, then he decided he was to busy to take case on. I already have filed with the labor board,\nreally would like representation, due to former employer is a jerk, have all documentation to back my statements up. please help

There are a couple of ways to get a lawyer to assist you for little or no up front payment.  First, contact the state bar association in your state.  The bar association can put you in touch with lawyers who will do pro-bono work.  You can find them in the yellow pages or just go to:  www.superpages.com  and type in Bar Association in the Company Name field and then enter your city and state to find their address and phone number.  If there isn’t one in your city, type in a nearby city until you locate one convenient to you.\n\nAlso, if you live near a major university that has a law school, they have law clinics that may represent you.  You would be represented by senior law students under the guidance of licensed attorneys.   Either of these should help you locate a lawyer to assist you. \n\nGood Luck


Cause its spring, do they come back in July, or June, or May, or later on this month, or are they already back?

It depends on where you live.  Here in SE Michigan, we start seeing them in early May.  I always put my hummingbird feeder out on May 1 in case any come back early, especially if it is a mild spring.


I live in Buffalo NY.  Everyone thinks we have nothing but snow, why is that?  We had a very mild winter with just cold and very little snow this year.  We also have very warm Summers.  Today it was 70 degrees.

Well, would you settle on one out of three?


Could you provide me with passages directly from the Bible, that pertain to homosexuality and same sex marriages

Lev.18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Lev.18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Lev.18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: \n\nLev.20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.\n\nAbomination (Hebrew, toebah) disgusting morally, an abhorrence.\n\nAbhorrence, a feeling of repugnance or loathing.\n\nDeut.23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Deut. 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.\n\nSodomite (Hebrew, qadesh) male prostitute, licentious, unclean.\nDog (Hebrew, keleb) male prostitute, (dog) position.\n\nJob 36:14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. \n\nUnclean (Hebrew, qadesh) male prostitute, licentious.\n\nLicentious, lacking moral discipline especially in sekual conduct. \n\nRom.1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. \n\nBecame vain (Greek, mataioo) foolish, morally wicked.\n\nRom.1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, \n\nBecame fools (Greek, moraino) literally were fooled by their perverted mind.\n\nRom.1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: \n\nUncleanness (Greek, akatharsia) impurity, physically or morally\n\nRom.1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: \n\nVile affections (Greek, atimia) passions of infamy (disgrace).\n\nRom.1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. \n\nUnseemly (Greek, aschemosune) indecency, shame.\n\nRom.1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; \n\nReprobate (Greek, adokimos) rejected, worthless, castaway.\n  \nRom.1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. \n\nI Cor.6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,  I Cor.6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. \n\nEffeminate, having qualities or characteristics more often associated with women than men.\n\nNor abusers of themselves with mankind (Greek, arsenokoites) sodomite.\n\nI Tim.1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;\n\nDefile themselves with mankind (Greek, arsenokoites) sodomite.

My grandfather was adopted either in CO or NM.  Is there a way I can access adoption records to locate biological family members?  I know nothing (as well as other family members) about his biological parents, siblings, etc.  I was told there are sealed record laws in some states and wonder if there is a time limit this applies to?

Adoption records are sealed in most states and only specific persons can receive copies of adoption records, most of the time you can get non identifying information. Below are some useful links for adoption searches. My suggestion is that you apply for whatever you can apply for from both states, then armed with the information you get join some search and reunion groups on yahoo. also go to www.adoptionregistrymagazine.com


I mean, we've all heard about the virgins for men and all that but what is supposed to happen to the women? Seriously, I'm really curious.

Actually, there's nothing in the Quran that speaks of any number of virgins in heaven, that is just a stereotypical rumor that some have decided to spread against Islam.\n\nIt DOES however, mention a great ammount of "houris" which is a non-gendered creature of light and beauty (no mention of any sexual nature), and is meant for both the men AND the women. No one is certain what their purpose is, we can only speculate.\n\nTo further answer your question, the descriptions of heaven aren't meant only for a man or woman, but both genders enjoy all of it's bounties. What few descriptions are given aren't necessarily and exact of heaven itself, but merely the best representation that can be given to us at this time. God tells us that even our greatest imaginations of the beauty and bounties of heaven cannot compare to the real thing, as it is beyond our understanding. So when the Quran describes heaven as "gardens beneath which rivers flow" it is simply giving us a small explanation in the best way that we can understand. The holy lands rest in the mostly barren deserts, so to describe that the heavens will consist of gardens and springs ("beneath which rivers flow") is showing the desert folk just how rewarding it can be, so that they will work for it, making the best of this life in preparation for the next.\nI hope this helped you.


I will be using it with Microsoft Streets and Trips

I would make sure whatever you buy supports SiRF III and WAAS, which will give you stronger Satellite reception and more accurate positioning. As long as the unit you purchase has windows drivers and is compatible with NMEA v2.2 it will work with Streets and Trips.\n\nI would actually recommend looking into a bluetooth GPS for around $20 more than wired USB + the cost of a bluetooth adapter. Bluetooth is much more convenient if you'll be using the GPS frequently, simply not having to deal with one more wire in the car would be worth it alone.\n\nhttp://www.semsons.com is a good spot to look / buy USB or Bluetooth GPS's.\n\nCraig\nwww.pcdirect.com

I am a part of a family where my mother is a devoute Roman Catholic, my bilogical father is non-practicing traditional Southern Baptist, my step father is agnostic, and all of my siblings claim no particular faith but believe in God.  I am a Baptist who is very serious about my religious practice.  Although all of us belive in the Lord (assuming my stepdad does too), we tend to bump heads about theology and practices.  Any suggestions or care to share your experiences?

Remember religion or denominations do not save people ... Jesus is the object of our faith.\n\nJesus gave two simple commands that contain ALL the law of God.  Love Him with all your heart and soul; And, treat others as you would be treated.\n\nTo love as Jesus loves is to put others first.  Not necessarily their wants but their needs.  If you can do that you are the best witness to your whole family no matter what denomination they are.\n\nJesus put us first by sacrificing himself.  There is no greater love than one be willing to lay down their life for another.  It does not necessarily mean death; it means that you put their needs first because you love them.


People say human beings are egoist, mean... But it is also said we are good by nature, we have rationality, able to have faith....etc. What do you value most as a human being and what do you think is the worst thing a man can ever do (or think)

We're given the capability to learn behaviour and probably inherit behaviour to some extent.  The worst behaved people can have the best intentions and just not know any better, depend on how their lives have been lived up to that point.\n\nI would say the worst behaviour happens when a person is aware that what they are doing is morally wrong but do it anyway to satisfy some urge.  We tend not to blame people who are actually unaware they are doing something wrong.\n\nConversely, the best things come about when we fight our strongest urges and do what we think is the most morally acceptable thing.  We are just human and our most basic instinct is to please ourselves, so usually the actions we hold in the highest regard morally are those that help people and somehow sacrifice our own needs.\n\nThat being said, I think intentionally making other people suffer, lying and killing are about as bad as it gets.


im having friendship problems at school... and i need to know if it would be a good idea if i called the person that im having problems with and try to mend things and make things better, even though i've never called this person and i've only talked to them in school. or should i just wait till i have a minute with them and talk to them then? it's been bothering me for a while now and i need advice on what to do.

On one hand I think you should wait for the opportune time , but on the other hand it might be better if you approach this situation head on.\n\nConsider this : if you do either one that person may instantly become defensive or offended which may make matters even worst and consequently nothing is accomplished. \n\nSo what is it worth to you ? Will waiting causes feeling of stress and/anxiety ?\n\nIs this something you can ignore ? \n\nIn the end writing a note expressing your feeling might be the best solution also in the note  give your friend the option to get together and discuss the matter

I like to go with an extanche to milken L.A., I have everything; I have good references, etc., but to go you need 8.0 or more of your promedio grades, bu I have 7.95, I have to talk to the teacher and I don't know what to say.\n\nPlaese help me!!!

Wow.  You have everything?  Except the .05 for your grades.  Guess what, I got into college with lower than a 2.0 before.  You just need to talk to the teacher and say something like: I really want to go, but will I be able to even though I am .05 below the 8.0 grade scale?  I could boost this up if given the opportunity, but to prevent me from going because of a minor thing such as .05 which is not much compared to 1.0  which is not as close as 7.95 as it is exactly 8.0, so if you are as confused as me, would you consider a solution to this problem because I am so close to having an 8.0.  Do I have to go to summer school to improve that by .05 points in order to go?  Is there something I can do to ensure I can go?  Will I be allowed to go even if I do not meet 8.0?  And out of how many others have perfect scores and are allowed to go?  "Just because something or somebody tells you that you cannot, or you will not do this or that, then you must step up and say how come?  Why?  Then after they answer, do you easily give up?  No, you fight back with your words because you really want to go to L.A.  So, do as I have suggested, stay calm and collected and speak softly, but carry a big stick, that is your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth shall stick to them faster if you go over it like a rational adult without arguing or complaining.  So, be brave, be courageous and when you are ready to speak, let your heart do the talking for you.  Believe it or not, I have always gotten farther with a positive attitude.  But this nation is so accustomed to complainers and whiners that they easily quit on what they really want to do.  No wonder we have psychology!  So, you really do know what to say now, don't you?  Remember the last time you got what you wanted without asking for it first?  Who hands out anything on a silver platter here?  I work hard and earn everything just like you.  So, having a physical disability didn't keep me from acheiving my goals or accomplishing my dreams.  But others who wouldn't allow me to do these did, and they got the wake up call when I spoke from my heart's content, that they were so touched they just had to give me what I wanted because God did the talking for me.  I am just a vessel He uses to get what He wants for me, believe this and you will not need to know what to say when He speaks through your mouth and out comes the words, and it makes you happy because you gained more bravery.  Or you can accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior since He died for your sins, man.  That we are brothers no matter what anyone else may say or do, and it is because God answered your question through me.  No one in their right mind can reject Him.  Hence the words: Right mind.  That means: Free from stress and disappointment in yourself, as well as others.  And I am not a preacher, yet I preach the message as it is universal understanding of getting from one point to another.  You have the help you require when you help yourself first.  Help yourself by speaking and verbalizing your concerns to the teacher, to the administration, to even the president of the United States, but who is going to listen unless you do something out of the ordinary.  Remember, you are like a stranger in a country of your own.  You speak the language differently now.  You should love yourself, so you may do what you really like, then you can use this to help others love themselves so the entire world will love one another, even their enemies and strangers they do not know.  This is the message and it has never changed.  Do you believe it?  Do you want it?  You have to want it more than going to L.A. in order to get to L.A. for those who trust in Jesus get what they need, and even what they want.  And those who do not, I tell you, are suffering needlessly.


Seriously.  Disease, Crime, Disasters.....\n\nChances are so slim that anything could happen to us, but people continue to lock their doors, buy security systems, get vaccinated, and drink bottled water.\n\nI either think it's marketing or the mass-media, because people just don't take the time to look up the numbers for themselves and realize there's nothing to be worried about.\n\nFor example, I leave my car running when I go inside the convenience store and people think I'm nuts.\n\nI'm not scared of anything, am I crazy?

Fear seems to be our default position; it takes education and a bit of nerve to switch over to the confident / generally fearless position.

I used to think god spoke to me directly, I heard her(yes her). It comforted me, it helped me deal with the madness around me. I felt "protected". I was horribly abused, sexually and physically, I had a refuge, I felt safe. My body hurt, but my soul flew free, I was a bird soaring on a warm desert wind. I was a flaming dolphin swimming in a sea of glass. I was complete.\nThree years ago, I made the mistake of telling my doctor about my "condition". I was medicated and went "nuts". I could no longer deal with stress. I no longer felt safe.\nI ended up in hospital. I almost died.  I got better really fast. My god came back. I was safe again.\nMaybe it is a delusion, but it keeps the child in me, safe, I feel whole. Should I tell anyone, my voice came back  I still take my meds. I am a good boy. So what if you think I am nuts. I feel good and I take care of my self and my responsibilities.

No worries, my friend. We're all crazy. I know I am!\n\nBesides, you're right. It matters not what the world thinks of you. It only matters what you think of yourself...and what God thinks. \n\nMoreover, you are very poetic! I liked some of the visions you explained- like the bird flying on the winds of the desert. It kind of alludes to the existential isolation that we all must bear in this indifferent universe.\n\nMaybe the voice was God- maybe it wasn't. But he does exist, and he does speak to us.\n\nYou lived on for a reason. Maybe sometime, a revelation will emerge forth, and you will understand why you haven't completed your mission in life just yet.\n\nI almost died at least on one occasion, myself- life is sacred to me now, and although life is painful, it's worth living.\n\nMark my words- you are okay in my book. The truly sick people are out in the streets, my friend- they don't even know that they are sick. They are the ones that belong in a hospital.


here is link :this is for all people who want to know where their state stands on this issue some  peopleon here  who know where i stand this for you to so everyone can be informed \nhttp://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13155.

At least twice each week I read the rant of another angry American who declares that Bush is an idiot, but if they're just figuring that out now, they're throwing stones from a glass house. Of course he's an idiot. They needed an idiot. If the man displayed any signs of intelligence, evil actions couldn't be  passed off as "failures" or "bungling." If the president were intelligent and scholarly, people would question why he's completely incompetent, \nbut because he's an obvious buffoon, many people accept that as the reason everything's \ngoing horribly wrong. It's also a lot less distressing to believe that your government is incompetent rather than know that they're evil, and most people will cling to that comfort.\n\n               The real problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's  too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,  he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\n               Of course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, \nwhy is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \nThe questioner makes the  assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as \nmuch cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. If you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.\n\n             Freedom and justice are fading memories, the U.S. Constitution is "just a goddamn piece of paper," and the election process has been undermined. The jobs have been shipped overseas, the economy is hopeless, the environment is being raped, the Army is "broken," the infrastructure is crumbling, our borders are being dissolved, and every dollar or gold nugget that was subject to being looted, is already gone. With the entire nation and its population deep in debt, crashing the economy is a simple matter of raising interest rates, which will allow the bankers to once again scoop up all mortgaged property, and force its inhabitants out into the street. Instead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a foreign invasion, because the consequences of this invasion are as terminal to our freedoms and to our way of life as any act of terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS.  \n\n             The American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by Mexico! Yes, Martha, you had better believe it. \nThe Mexican government is deliberately and systematically working to destabilize and undermine the very fabric and framework of American society. \n             And President George W. Bush and Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) ar

im looking for a new good skateboard that i can buy

I would have to say boardhouse or mongoose but there really is a matter of preffrence in finding a good board like some ppl like 1 sk8board while otheres like another hope my answer helped


i have already had my period in the beginning of this month that is why i'm worried

It's probably a urinary tract infection. It could involve your bladder, kidneys, etc... You do not want to let this go untreated. If your kidneys are involved, it could theoretically be life threatening. Even if they're not, you need antibiotics. Call and schedule an appointment with your doctor a.s.a.p., and in the meantime, drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, take cranberry pills, and avoid sugar. \n\nIncidentally, cranberry pills are better than cranberry juice because the juice has too much sugar in it, and sugar can aggravate a urinary tract infection. You can get cranberry pills in the section where vitamins are sold.


I think a CD-RW of mine with files on it is corrupted. It says: "CD-RW with unrecognised data. This disc can be formatted for read and write access." All the files on it are gone and the only 2 files on the CD I can see are Autorun.inf and udfrinst.exe. Is it possible to recover the data?

Sometimes utility programs can do a good job recovering the data.\n\nbad copy pro works well for me


Sonicare instructs to replace brush after use into charger & states the brush will keep a charge for a week (sounds somewhat conflicting/contradictory to me).    \n\nAn Amazon user says he:  Unplugs his brush between full charges & runs it down to complete discharge. Even though rechargeable battery technology has reached the point where the "memory effect" we used to experience with the old Ni-Cad batteries isn't much of an issue anymore, I think this approach tends to keep the batteries conditioned & gets you a bit more mileage out of your brush handle. The sacrifice you make with this approach is that last brushing as the batteries drain to empty will likely be incomplete. So trot out the old manual standby to finish and then plug in the Sonicare to charge up. With my new Essence, I find I can go about a week this way, brushing twice a day. \n\nYour best advice between the two?

Just stick it on the charger.  How long do you think it is going to last anyway?  The batteries will keep it going fine like that for 5 years.  \n\nWhat does it matter if it lasts a week or 10 mins when you only brush your teeth for 2 min?


I am a die hard Pro Evo player!! Pro Evo is the footballers football game and Fifa is for the amatuers. There is no skill involved in Fifa and its a rubbish game. Anyone beg to differ?

I'm with you fella Pro evo all the way, I've had them all on the ps2 and they only get better, who gives a fcuk if they ain't got all the sponsors or correct names you buy it for the game play and the sheer realism of football. Can u imagine what the next ones gonna be like on the PlayStation 3....role on! Pro evo rules


How come I never had any cavities when I was a kid, but now (23) I get them all the time? At last dentist visit, another 3 new ones to add to my many existing fillings. I don't brush any less than I did when I was younger, and I NEVER flossed as a kid, yet still never had any cavities, so why am I getting them now???

Prob becuase we tend to eat more rubbish with more sugar etc as we get older. I have weak teeth too so i have to brush them at least three or four times a day.


From seeing a slow movement to muzzle our politicians who are\nnow looking like weak lambs under their leaders demands, I can see the news media cowering scared ahead. Button your lips fellows...you may get fired.

Yes and it is I who will control the north lands ! USA, USA, USA !!!

adult education ESL programe.\nthis is my projact to write searching in English 101 at college. thank you to help me.

What you would be wise to do is to ask permission to either sit in on an ESL class or interview students or former students about their experiences.  If they are speaking English and able to work, make purchases, deal with paperwork, then the success is evident.\n\nI believe that in order to teach ESL an instructor must participate in training and be certified to teach.\n\nBut the answers to your questions like with the students who took the course - can they speak English to their own satisfaction?  If they are not able to do so, what prevented them from reaching their goal of learning to speak English?


Have you ever walk in a room and saw the man or woman of your dreams and you start to believe that you being struck by love, but then you think is just lust. Does anybody know the difference? Do people actually fall in love or that is juat lust?

i think it might be very rare to actually fall in love at first sight but it can happen. now, if you see someone and all you think about is "wow, they must be great in bed" that would definitly be lust. but if you feel like you really want to get to know them then yes, i would say it was love. only because that has happened to me. when i first saw my boyfriend (we both met at church) i totally knew that i cared for him. but caring is not the same as love. but it did turn into that. so it is a long process, sure there was attraction but also a deep mutal respect and care for that person as well. sorry if this is confusing but love is sometimes a confusing thing.


They have to be a 173 cm Burton Triumph (board), Large white Burton Cartel (bindings), and White size 12 Burton Hail (boots). I also have a tight budget, about $500

If you have a tight budget, maybe consider getting a setup that's not ALL burton stuff.

have seen the south park episode about mormonism?  after i saw it, i decided to do some research, mostly on the lds website to see how acurate it was.  i was pretty shocked to see that it was incredibly acurate.  they didn't have anything about joe's helper losing the plates, but it did say that some plates were lost so joe wasn't allowed to read from them again.  and it never said anything about him reading them out of a hat.  \n\nso, is this episode offensive or are you able to laugh at yourself/your religion sometimes?

Everyone should be able to laugh at their own religion.

Where is paradise (according to the Bible), the actual location is what I am looking for?

when Jesus said "today, you will be with me in paradise"\nhe meant in the place called Sheol(in the original text) it is in the center of the earth and is divived in two. hell on one side, paradise on the other. the word Sheol is always translated as hell or hades. now if you are talking about the garden of eden read in the Bible Genisis 2:10-14

AHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm so nervous. Pre-Calc and English tomorrow..crap...

I was the same way- I kind of waited til the last minute to study- even for finals, but yet, somehow I ended up a doctor- I'd go somewhere - not a library- but somewhere you are comfortable- I chose a late night cafe when it wasn't crowded or a super market that had a dining area that wasn't crowded - you have everything at your disposal but the distractions are much less- I even studied for my boards the same- I know its not too specific- but I hope it helps!\nThere's not too much you can do at this point but go over notes or study the books, but this is the best advice I've got!

im scared of mayonaise its not funny but it just freaks me out to be around it!


definately depends on the guy...its like any other thing, likes and dislikes are personal.


It seems that most women will say that they want a nice, sweet guy with a good sense of humour who will love them for who they are, blah blah blah.\n\nIn actuality, it seems that they want someone who will ignore them and make them worry and generally treat them like rubbish.\n\nI'm not even going to speculate as to why a woman would stay with a man who beats her.\n\nWhy is this?

Well, speaking from experience, my husband started out like a dream and a few years later ended up a nightmare.  I can't speak for all women, however, sometimes we are blind to many things because of love, fear and insecurities.

I have some dumbells, a bench along with the thing that has bicycle like handlebars that you pull down for your back and other things.  How can I use this stuff for larger triceps?

Tricep Dumbbell Extensions \n\nThis exercise works the triceps, particularly the long inner head of the triceps. \n\nGrab a light dumbbell with one hand. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Lift the dumbbell so that it is at arms length straight above you shoulder. Keep a slight bend in your knees to take pressure off the lower back. \n\nSlowly lower the dumbbell in an arc motion behind your head until your elbow is at a 90-degree angle. Slowly lift the dumbbell in an arc motion back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of reps. Do the same for the other arm. \n\nTip - You can do this exercise with both arms at the same time by using a barbell, two dumbbells, or holding 1 dumbbell with two hands.


If we look at the consequences that such act may lead to serious/fatal reaction when it is handle personally. Do authority view such matter as personal or potential homocide instigation?

Technically, an affair 'outside the confines of a state sanctioned marriage' is a tort HOWEVER, sex between consenting adults WHO are not married is considered fornication and there are still quite a few states that maintain laws against such behavior.  As far a a tort, the offending spouse and paramour can be sued for divorce and alienation of affection (respectively) in many states that require 'cause' for divorce.  As far as a circumstance for 'excusing' murder, I have seen it used as an affirmative defense, it historically was referred to as 'provocation'  (see this link as it gives a pretty good history/description of the concept http://www.zerotolerance.ca/2_provocation_def.htm)  However, this doesn't fly much anymore with juries primarily, since women aren't considered 'property' as they once were!\n\nYou might find the study by a UT prof interesting... "In Buss’s sample of 429,729 homicide FBI files, 13,670 were cases in which a husband killed his wife. A husband discovering his wife having an extramarital affair is one of the leading causes of women being murdered, particularly when the woman is dramatically younger than her husband. This leads to a disturbing theory—the more good-looking, healthy and fertile the woman, the more motivated the man will be to kill her upon discovering a sexual infidelity."

i liked this guy and i ended it and well i didnt relly noe him then and now i relly like him and i dont know if he'll like me again...I need some tips from some real guys to a girl..plez

If he really likes you, he'll go out with you. Just be sweet and talk to him about it. But do not get the wrong impression. Some guys will go out with a girl JUST because he cant get any other girl, even if hes good looking. He might just want one so will take any girl whose willing to take him. Be careful and pray about it. Talk to him about it and do not rush into anything cause there may be a better guy right under your nose you just do not see. =]\n-Brad

Is it possible to use lightning to power homes/industry at the moment (Never say never!) and if not why not?

No it is not possible at this time and I doubt anyone will ever attempt it for a couple of reasons.  From NASA's webpage you can read the rest by clicking on my sources link\n\n1. Most of the power in lightning is dissipated as thunder and light, which cannot be easily harnessed to generate electric power.\n2. However, even just the electrical current of lightning is considerable -- 20,000 amps on average, the same as 100 steel welders. But the power is on for only a brief fraction of a second, so the total power is actually small, only enough to power a 100-watt light bulb for six months.\n3. The huge surge of electrical current over very brief times makes storing the energy impractical.\n4. Lightning strikes to specific locations are infrequent and inconsistent. This makes scheduling power availability impractical.\n5. Lightning can be very damaging. The collection systems have to be incredibly robust, which would drive up costs. Lightning is also very dangerous, making it tough on the collection system workers.\n6. Lightning would have to be collected over a huge area, making the system impractically expensive.\n\n#3 Its saying that lightning comes with an extreme burst of energy in a very short amount of time.  When it comes to electricity it takes awhile to build up, electricity created by a damn for example is created by the water and the turbines, it builds up slowly and is put into its reserve where ppl then draw from it.  If there was to be a massive spike were the water all of a sudden speed up to even 100mph the turbines would overheat and become useless.  Imagine charging a battery, instead of putting it on a charger and gradually letting it build up you just zapped it with a tazer or something.  Its not going to charge its going to explode.  Therefore it is impractical to store it becuase we have nothing that could take such a massive amount of energy in such a short time

whta is it that they do that makes HIV so contractable between them, and less so for heteros?

Actually it is easier to contract HIV, and any other STD for that matter, through an-al sex, however that has nothing to do with a person's sexual preference. Straight people who engage in an-al sex are more likely to transmit diseases than through vag-inal sex. No matter how you choose to enter, don't take your soldier to war without his helmet :)


DOes anyone watch the show Flavor of Love? well it already finished but i was wondering why everyone hates New York...shes bad ass and is my favorite. when she got on the show she was on there for one purpose and one purpose only...for flavor flave. she wasnt there to find friendships and she keeped to herself unlike Red Oyster who was all telling everyones secrets. New York's honest and well tell you straight out if she has beef with you or not. and she can so kick pumpkins butt. pumpkin's all scared..its actually funny. my favorite part of the reunion is when New YOrk goes up to Pumpkin and is like "look I aint goin spit in yo face cause i got way more mother fuckin class then you do, i am however gonna bitch slap you" and new york tries to attack her. they should let her, VH1 could have gotten better ratings.i hope she comes back for the second season.

I'm not totally sure what you're saying but you believe that everyone hates New York based on something some people said in a show? There are tons of people that really like the city so I really don't know what you're talking about.


N.W. Avalanche Semi-Pro Football Team is a Blend of both. They are great, fun Team  of misfits, characters and kind hearted thugs that are 3-1 and playing well,based in Bellingham Washington State.\n\n GO AVZ!!!!!!!!

Neither...I go with Remember the Titans or Radio. These are both very good movies about football where it really counts...in high school before players are corrupted by money. High school football is when everyone who plays and watches really loves the game, and you gotta respect that.


i'm currently working on a screenplay/tv series that is going to use songs from a bunch of different artists? How willing are most artists (besides the money factor) to have their song be put on a tv series (Not just as background music but the actual intro)? I've got like 20-40 different artists and they are all the inspiration for my tv series. I can't imagine my tv series without them!! BTW these are mainstream artists (Bon Jovi, Nickelback, Linkin Park, Enya, etc.).

Can you get the rights? Usually. Will the producers have to pay? Absolutely. Is the rights price negotiable? Often but once you determine a price for one chances are they will all want the same amount. Good luck.


i was shocked that colorado and montreal could win the first games of the series.  i was not surprised with jersey winning against new york becuz new york was not doing good with and without jagr.  i thought dallas would be mad losing the 1st game and come out playing better but they fell short again.  carolina just does not have enough gas in the tank to defeat the canadiens.  will these two top teams go down?  or will they come back?  the stats for teams that are behind in 2 games usually end up losing.  just want some insight on this question.

If Carolina would stop making up excuses why they lost and concentrate on playing better they could probably come back.\nMontreal is a team you don't want to play in the first round as over the years they have beaten a lot of the better teams. Especially Boston.


I live in Okla and rec SS/Dis check, wanting to reloc to Tx will my check amount stay the same or go up/down? Since Okla is the third poorest state and Texas cost of living is higher.

Social Security is a federal program so your benefit amount will not change. However, if for some reason you receive Medicaid in addition to Medicare, the quality and standards could be different.  Also consider cost of living (your check may stretch farther in some areas) and access and quality of support services.  I have heard horror stories from out of state clients about their former support services and they think I'm a hero for returning their phone calls!


My son is going to be staying with friends parents while I go up north...I need to give them temp custody....

I would not use a temporary custody form if I were you. By doing that they have control over everything that has to do with your child, and that is like handing them over to someone else and when you try to get them back they can fight you for it. \n\nWhat you need is a form for temporary guardianship of your minor child and agreement that you will pay all the child's expenses and what-not while you are away. \n\nI would not hand them over like that without a signed agreement in writing from an attorney is your best thing. But if you can not afford that then at least get something done up and notarized by someone at your county or government office.\n\nTry this link: http://www.nolo.com/\n\nAnd what you are looking for is the eform for 9.99 that is called Temporary Guardianship for Care of Minor. \n\nThis is what the Summary of the eform says:\n\nIf you’re going to leave your child in the care of another adult, you should give that person permission to authorize medical care and make other important decisions on your child’s behalf.  This includes school-related decisions such as permission for a field trip, or who can pick up your child if he or she becomes ill. \n\nUse this form to establish a temporary “informal guardianship,” which is different from a formal, court-approved guardianship.\n\nImportant to Know:\n\nWhile this form will give an adult permission to authorize medical treatment to your child, you should consider using "Authorization for Minor's Medical Treatment" as well, because it lets you cover your child's medical needs and history in depth. \n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This is my first year in Vancouver!!! I am soo excited but am a bit worried about what my host family will be like. Is the whole thing fun?!

Ive heard nothing but positive things about it, but obviously it depends on your host family and also what you make of it!


do you think time is tangible?? or is it just our perception as humans??

Time is, therefore we measure it.  So it is natural,  Humans quantify it.  \n\nIt is a funny thing.  Time to us is a way that we can judge when an object reaches it's destination.  In sports, we think of the amazing athletes that "see things just a bit quicker" than the rest of us.  (All hail Wayne Gretzky!)  In law enforcement it is a measure to inflict speeding tickets.  All of these facets of time are quantified by human measures.  However time exists regardless of the existence of humans.


Do you feel you have adequate control of your manlyhood?\n\nYou know what I mean. How long on average do you last?\n\nBecause you know that it is the most complained about thing from women!!!

This a very good question, and one for men not boys.... I'm 32 and feel I do have control over my manlyhood, I'm just a far more controlled and experianced lover, I have developed and now can pretty much last as long as i like, but these days i do generally know when to stop and when to carry on.... I think this happens to most of us as we turn from boys into men and discover what ladies really want rather than simply what we want...

I also have PCOS and I highly recommend the SugarBusters diet.  It helped immensely.  I've lost about 25 lbs on it.


For example, when players are suspended for technicals or fighting, they are often suspened without pay.  Does the team owner just get to keep the money.  If that's the case it wouldn't seem right if it were a team enforced violation. Like when players skip practice or do things that are "detrimental" to the team.  Anybody know the answer to this????

I just quit smoking recently, but I noticed that my throat was hurting and I found a patch of what looks like leukoplakia at the top of my throat, but i do not know how to treat it, it seems to be getting better, but it is still bothering me.  What can i use to make it go away quicker?

You cannot speed up the healing time without seeing you doctor. \nA small percentage of leukoplakic patches show early signs of cancer, and many cancers of the mouth (oral cancers) occur next to areas of leukoplakia. For that reason, it's best to see your dentist if you have unusual changes in your mouth lasting longer than a week.\n\nwell done for quiting smoking!


Going camping, slight chance of pop up t'storm.  Is it safe to hide in the tent while this goes on?  Seen it in movies but that is a movie! Just generally thinking, metal poles, electricity, I am just not sure.  If you say yea it's ok please tell me why. thanks

Actually, in the great outdoors, it doesn't really matter where you are.  You may be sheltered from the rain, but lightning is always another factor.  Though the chances of you (yourself) being struck by lightning is very slim to none...you can't rule out the possibility of it striking a tree, for example, and running through the ground and hitting you that way.\n\nThey say that the best thing to do while camping and sheltering in a tent is NOT to lay down to avoid exposure to ground currents.  You also want to be away from the tallest things around you, however, you do not want to be the tallest thing around.  If you are in an exposed site (i.e.no trees)that would make your tent probably the tallest thing around you.  In which case you should abandon everything and get somewhere (such as your car) that provides better shelter.

I'm 14. my height is 5'8 and I weigh around 245, I was woundering if anyone can tell a me a good effective and fast way to lose weight? I eat semi healthy,I don't eat at fast food places too much and when I do I usually go to subway.  I try not to eat meat or anything that is high in fat. I don't do much excerise though, which I know would help. But so far I've not gained much if any weight.  I would also like it if you can give me like a plan or something, tell me what would be good to eat and what should I do everday.  Email or IM me at Maddenman2000@yahoo.com if you want to talk further. Thank You

Well, you're never gonna be scrawny, but I don't think it'd take much to get you in shape. You could lay off the carbs (bread, pasta, etc..) but starvation is DEFINITELY not the answer for you, especially at your age. The less you eat, the more you teach your body to get more nutrition out of less food, and then you have to starve yourself for the rest of your life. \n\nI think exercise would be best. Start with jogging in place, maybe jumping rope, move on to pushups, sit-ups and chin-ups. Jumping rope, for anybody that's capable of it, is a really good exercise. \n\nIf you don't want to get too much attention, try exercising in the basement or garage. Harder to hear feet hitting the floor if the floor's made of concrete, and sometimes you just don't want parents involved in your personal decisions (I have daughter that's 14).\n\nYou may need motivation. You're a guy, right? Take off your shirt and take a picture of yourself. Tape it up on the inside of your bedroom door. That way whoever comes in never sees it, unless they close the door behind them. If you share a bedroom with someone, maybe tape it inside a folder or book, or something.\n\nI'm not a big fan of going to the gym. Too many people looking down their noses at me. Right now I have a job that keeps me in shape, because when I get home I'm just lazy. When I was your age I had a paper route, and was on the swim team.\n\nAnd of course, the thing I say to everybody that's unhappy with their weight:\n\nDon't look at the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat. If you can feel good about yourself when you look in the mirror, you've reached your goal.


I'm sure this one has been asked already, but I wanna know.  Also, why is it your favorite?  If it is cuz of an actor/actress, what other good movies are they in?

Raising Arizona... If you have seen it, you understand.


Does anyone know if there are any websites or hotlines out there to report ur boss if he humiliated, embarrassed, or treated you unfairly (for no reason at all)????? & if there are any, what are they????? I really appreciate your help :)

Are you in the United States? because every country is different usually you can go to the Human Resource Department to report this behavior depending on where you work at or go over his head and report him unless he owns the company himself there's usually somebody above him and if this continue to happen i suggest looking for a different employer that would treat their employees better, try looking at the links below.\nhttp://www.workplacefairness.org/sc/protections.php\nhttp://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/adb/ll_adb.nsf/pages/adb_how_to_deal\n\nYou can also contact the U.S. Department of Labor if this is in the United States .

i am 13 and i like this guy who's about 3 inches shorter than me and people say that it's weird and he would never go out with me. he still has time to grow though, right?! ;) anyways, this question is mostly directed to short guys. do you think its weird to date a taller girl?

those short little animals are good some honey...have fun with him...teach him how to be nice....\none of my maties is a little shorte than me....I love him.


Human beings.  Most destructive force on earth - they drain wetlands, flood dry lands, stomp out vegetation with their cattle, cut down whole forests, dump their toxic garbage into streams and rivers and the ground, deplete the sea of fishes  and mammals, fill the air with noxious fumes, etc...they poison the world.


Let's begin by acknowledging all the Biblical stuff of a Virgin birth, etc.  \nNow, I understand it that virgin births have been scientifically documented in occurence.  But in these cases, the animal in question had special traits like the ability to alter their gender (some aquatic, amphibious and reptilian creatures possess this ability as I have heard) or have both male and female reporductive organs.  But in all the documented cases, the offspring was "hatched" from an egg and they were always female.  Outside of the miracle of Immaculate Conception, what would be the Biological requirements of a human to reproduce in such a fashion and how would it be possible?  Thanks. Rob

There are explicit references to the virgin birth in only two places in the New Testament: the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which are believed to be amongst the latest written parts of the New Testament. The apparently older Gospel of Mark, on which Matthew and Luke are believed to be partly based (see Markan priority), does not mention the virgin birth, and some scholars also argue from lexicon and style that the first two chapters of Luke, describing the virgin birth, were a later addition to the Gospel, which may originally have begun at 3:1.\n\nSkeptics argue that like the resurrection appearances, the virgin birth may be an example of the gradual supernaturalization of the Christian story. Some scholars have argued that early Christians did not claim that Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus. They point to the geneaologies in Matthew 1-2, and Luke 1-2, which use descent through Joseph to demonstrate that Jesus was the heir to King David. Moreover, the Ebionites (a group of Palestinian Judeo-Christians rejected by Gentile Christians as heretics) maintained that Jesus was naturally conceived.


My wife is suffering from AVN desease on her hip bone, According to the doctor she can have a hip bone replacement surgery but the replaced hip bone can only last for 10 to 15 years due to wear and tears. She is on 35 years old so if she go for this option she will have to go through surgery table for approximately 3 times by the time she is 65 years old. So can anyone out there suggest any other ways to treat this desease?

Successful treatment of AVN requires early diagnosis, prevention of articular deformity, and control of pain secondary to the associated inflammatory reaction present. Most cases of AVN in adults come to either joint replacement or arthrodesis to achieve pain reduction and restoration of hip function. The current technology for hip replacement surgery is such that the joint needs to be replaced after 10 to 15 years. However research is continuing to try to make a more durable product that will last longer. In 15 years time newer technology could easily mean that the replacement will last longer. I would not advise leaving the problem any longer then neccessary without surgery as this will increase the risk of chronic pain and disability.

I know that my !update.exe file in temp folder is a virus.  Is  there any way of searching where it came (and is coming) from.  My AVG recognizes it as a Trojan Generic TUC , my Sophos doesn;t even recognize it... so can someone tell me what that is and where it came from ...

Take a look at this website:\n\nhttp://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-48164-Updateexe-Trojan.html\n\nI suggest you run your antivirus software in windows safe mode. Also in cases of trojan generic downloaders you might have to delete all your system restore points. To do that go to My Computer (right click)> Properties > System Restore.\n\nYou might still have to delete some registry entries manually and I would recommend that you use Hijack This and post the log it generates on some Tech Forum and I believe there will be plenty of people who will help you out.\n\nGood Luck

I am so confused as to the intended purpose of this policy. While any historic revelations are not 100% accurate, I do understand what happened in this Nations past regarding slavery. I hope and pray that it will never be repeated. It is the most horrible thing to place on any race. I know that many African's were captured agaist their will and brought to America but many were sold by their own people for a price. So, the way I see it the African people are just as guilty in this ordeal. Regardless of how African's or anyone else for that matter, got to America, isn't their race much better off today than they would have been staying there in Africa or any other Country? It's terrible that anyone had to come to America as slaves but I think one should relish in what they have rather than what they don't have. I am part Native American Indian. Stop and think what happened to my people. My people were almost wiped out years ago. My people were slaves also, in most cases they still are!

It seems as though America has too many types of individuals to cry discriminaton. Think about it? They should remove the word from all languages. It is not only ratial, but anyone can cry the word. I am disabled, so I can cry, my neighbor is add, so she can cry, another is quadrualpolegent and can cry, another is Mexican,another is Indian and the list goes on. Why can't people be adults and work hard for their positions? They should do away with it all together!!!!!!!! IT MAKES ME MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!


.......putting some cotton in my ear, since the music comes out from a very close distance from my ear and it is loud.

If you feel more comfortable that way, why not? I recommend you get some earplugs instead of cotton -- they will work better and are safer. You can buy them at big drugstores, in the safety equipment section. They are cheap.


an athletic with 1/70 m tall wants to throw a ball to the basket from penalty spot (in basket ball). indicate under which angle and which speed this ball can go to the basket .(x= 5/80)  (h= 3/05)\n(x= the distance between spot penalty till basket)  (h= the distance between ground till basket)

there would be many answers. a lot of combination of speeds and angles are possible to put the ball in the basket.

I just read on CNN that the Catholic church is pushing for the Pro-Immigration Rallies for May 1st. http://money.cnn.com/2006/04/27/news/immigration_boycott.reut/index.htm

The REASON The Church Is In It Is Because There Is A Provision In HR4437 That States\n\nAnyone or any organization who “assists” an individual without documentation “to reside in or remain” in the United States knowingly or with “reckless disregard” as to the individual’s legal status would be liable for criminal penalties and five years in prison.   This could include church personnel who provide shelter or other basic needs assistance to an undocumented individual.   Property used in this act would be subject to seizure and forfeiture. \n\nMany Illegal Immigrants Rely On The Generousity Of The Church


Has anyone had this done?  What was it like?  Did it resolve your pain?

I have heard of it and considered it. But I'm not doing it because I'm too young to get the procedure.


But when Sarah envied Hagar and driven Hagar out,God`s angel helped her.Ishmail was thus the father of all Muslims.Were Abraham and Sarah fair?Are they not the cause of Islam?How can Christians despise Muslims? Genesis 16:3-10

Abraham is one of the best prophets and he was ordered by God to keep Hajar in that particular place. Truly, God ask abraham to do that is the best action by him. \nChristians only see Isaac sons Jewish but for Muslim believe they deny Ishmail sons. A great nation will come from Ishmail that is in the Old Testament>


Use your index finger and place it over all of the strings on the fifth fret, but do not press down.  Just lay your finger on that fret.  Then use your middle finger on the 6 and your pinky on the 8---press down on those two strings only.\n\nWith your index finger just laying on the fifth fret you will get a dead sound, thus only getting the true notes out of the two strings your fingers are pressing.\n\nHappy playing...


im not seeming to be raceist but why is it that balck people can have black pride, but if i were to say that i had white pride i would be looked at like some member of the kkk??? personally i dont think that black people should be able to say they have black pride and i dont think white  people should be able to say they have white pride. its ok to have pride in you heritige but i think we should all be past the color part of it????

I believe everyone should have pride in their background, culture, and heritage and I don't believe it should be limited to only females, chicanos, blacks, etc.....  The only way to learn is to communicate, as someone else mentioned in their answer, and by learning to communicate we can learn to understand why someone feels pride in their heritage. I am proud of my "white" heritage, English, Irish and German.  If you mean, proud of BEING "white" that is a different story, therein lies the communication problem.


hi, does anyone know how those shocking pens,lighters, etc....products are made, and what causes the jolt of?\nof electricity. like thoses pens that are used to shock your friends since they think its actually a real pen... how are thoses made and what causes them to work???\n\nthanks

It's spelled piezo.\n\nA material which exhibits the piezo-electric effect produces a voltage across one axis when struck or flexed in another axis.  \n\nIn gas stove and barbecue lighters and the pens which you speak of the resultant voltage is stepped up via a transfomer.\n\nThe same effect is used in "crystal" microphones and was used in crystal pick-up cartridges.


The percentages fluctuate, as life ebbs and flows.  On balance \n\nHappiness 97% or above\nPain       2% or less\nDespair    1% or less\n\nI allow myself occasional time on the pity pot, I grieve at the death of someone close, I get off track and get frustrated before shifting my focus from time to time.\n\nHappiness - all it takes for me is to list 5 things I am grateful for every day.  In this scary world, I have a roof over my head, a healthy body, marketable skills, access to resources, and people who love me.


My Husband is retiring from the Air Force after 20 years of service.  He was in Desert Storm/Desert Shield during his enlistment.  I am sending out retirement announcements and can't get the right words on paper.  I'd appreciate serious responses.  This is a big deal for him.  Thanks ahead of time for your help.

There once was a man in the Air Force\nwho finished his 20 years\nNow he'll cruisin' the golf course\nafter he buys you all beers\n\nI'm writting to let you all know\nhis time in the service is done\nwe thank you for helping us though\nnow he'd rather have fun


I am using MS Visual Studio.NET.  How do I keep the command prompt from closing when I run a console app?  I have Windows XP media edition.

Blood rolling down my face, he held me and talked me through my fears, smiled at me. I smiled back at those bright eyes. And then he was gone, add my natural stupidity... I forgot to thank him. I tried everywhere I can think of Ambulance & Police Headquarters, Hospitals... I just need to let him know that he's my Hero and thank him for all... I'm so desperate I keep bursting to tears, I can't help not crying -even in public... I need to let him know... thx.

Sure there is...just contact the service he works for. Tell them his name, where and what time the incident took place and they'll put you in touch with him.\n I worked as a Paramedic for 20 years and can assure you thanks are far and few between, he'll appreciate it. Hell, I appreciate it even though I don't know you or him just to know that somewhere out there there's a thanks floating around for one of us.


I know Christians believe in Christ, but He is the Son of God and isn't THAT God the same as the Islamic God??

Because Christianity, Judaism and Islam all stem from Abraham, yes, we believe in the same God.


And whats in your oppinion the best way to stay in control over yourself when the mainipulation and double talk starts.

Well, I was married to a narcissist so I can tell you exactly what to do.  First, remember that they will always want to have the last word.  So give it to them.  You can answer for them before they get the chance- that really throws them off.  \n\nEx.  "Yes, I know, you're the best tennis player that ever existed on the planet."  Yes, I'm aware of the fact that you're smarter than everyone else around."  "Yes, I know that your opinions about everything are always the most true and correct."  After you say something like this you should laugh out loud, look them directly in the eye, smile and shake head.  Not only does this take the wind out of their enormous sail, but sometimes it even makes them embarrassed!\n\nAs far as the manipulation goes, don't react to their bullshit.  Look them in the eye and listen intently and when they're all finished yelling, lying, or what ever their pleasure.  Say, "Well, that was entertaining, now, back to the real world...."  And stay very calm.  \n\nThe best thing you can do to stay in control is to remember that this person is sick.  Don't take their behavior personally.  This is not about you- this is about their illness.  Don't let them see you get upset because this is exactly what they want.  If you need anymore help, send me an e-mail.


which school do i go to how much do  they cost in dollars? how long does it take?

1. Learn how to drive.\n2. Practice driving.\n3. Try karting (like Michael Schumacher did).\n4. Try driving a taxi cab or similar PUV (like Mika Hakkinen did).\n5. Try to slim down.\n6. Try to become smaller.\n7. Enter a racing school, preferably F1 racing schools.\n8. Earn a racing license, I don't know if F1 has different racing licenses.\n9. Look for smaller tourneys like F2's, F3's and the like and try to be the best (like Juan Pablo Montoya).\n10. Find an F1 racing team, preferably the low earners like the Jordan team that we used to have (remember how Karthikeyan tasted 1 F1 season?).\n11. Transfer to a more decent team in case opportunity arises (don't be like Takuma Sato, please).


i thought taco bell's was the worst i've gone in.

In Rome, a public restroom at the Roman Forum infromation booth was just a hole in the ground.  You have to squat over it to go.  And what a wonderful smell coming up from it!!!


My last question was about the Mayan Calendar.  I got some really good answers, and realized I'd made a mistake.  Our Gregorian Calendar is close, but one day is going to have to be omitted to realign, somewhere around 9200.  No leap year.  Am I close?

"Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year. \nBut every year divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year \nUnless the year is also divisible by 400, then it is still a leap year. "\nSo I think that's taken into account already.  More of this article at the below link.\nBut if you wanted to ask about leap years, why did you bring up the Mayan Calendar?


Do you think they are a stronger team than the 1998 world cup?

In case you don't know NED Vs.ARG is: \nmatch#= 37 \nDate= 21-Jun-06 \nLocation= Frankfurt   \nTime= 21:00

It is the most interesting group. Four team, Argentina, Holland, Cost of Marfil and Serbia y Montenegro have a lot of posibilities for go to the next round in Germany 2006. In My opinion Argentina and Holland have minimum adventaje over Cost of marfil and Serbia and Montenegro.


When he hands off propaganda videotapes to Aljazeera? Even if he doesn't report back to Osama then the person he reports to is reporting to someone who is reporting to Osama. Follow the trail already. Secondly why not just put some dynamite on all those hills?  There is no-one living there except al quaeda.

why dont they sprinkle Viagra all over where they think he is and just sit back and wait till the little prick pops up?


Alright, slow down and write down what it is that you did or you think you did. Then, write down what you should have done. If you did something bad then you need to ask for forgiveness. Communicate to your friend. Sometimes, we do stuff that is hard for someone to forgive. Your job is to ask for forgiveness. Don't expect forgiveness right away. If you care about the friendship then give it your best try. Wait, and then see what happens while taking care of yourself.\n\nOne of life's meanings is that you learn from your mistakes. You will grow from this if you choose to learn.


iam trying so many times to add my pic to the messenger..when iam start chat...by share my display my ima..by profil...but no won can see my pic..also me!!how i can add it??thank u

What do I do if my guys penis is bigger than my opening? If I try to push beyond what hurts I bleed. I'm only suppossed to bleed the first time, right?

try using some lubricant like KY Jelly, also have him only insert it a little at a time until you get used to it. Sometimes it takes a little stretching on your part. Once you have sex several times then you should be able to handle it, and it should not hurt any more. Good luck!


Do you make sure your donations are WELL spent, and not for the extras on Bingo night?

Yes it's well spent, honestly I believe that those who give are given back to by God. Not that thats a reason you should do it, but I often find little blessing in life when I give. \n\nI usually give $40/week and I make about $40k a year.


are they different from artificailly made diamonds? I saw a show on t.v. that showed a process that created a diamond from carbon that fused onto a diamond seed? I just want to know.

Artificial diamonds have the same chemical properties as real diamonds. The term artificial is misleading. But cubic zirconiums are not the same as the real thing.


people are teling me that they are not receiving my e-mails

If the person you are sending the email to is using an internet based mail (such as Yahoo, MSN, GMail, etc.) then there isn't anyway to check for this....although I do remember seeing something about requesting a return reciept. However, if they have a non-web based mail then you can usually check the status of the message, and see if they recieved it.


ok if you think you are going to start your period and you dont want to get it on your pants. SO you put a tampon up there even if your not on your period is that bad. Are you not supoose to do that or what. and why?

You shouldn't wear a tampon unless you are actually on your menses. The tampon absorbs fluid that you don't have extra, resulting in dryness which can lead to an imbalance of the natural bacteria and result in a yeast infection or other infections. Wear a panty liner or even a thin maxi pad when you are expecting your period and make sure that you keep a tampon in your pocket or purse and be ready to go to the bathroom whenever you feel the dampness.


How common is it to have orgasms during intercourse? Cuz (and don't talk s--t to me cuz sometimes u deal with it wen u lov someone) he's only given me two in three years (any other way besides intercourse is no prob). Also, wat positions are the best ones to orgasm while fu--ing?

well positions most women would say you on top is best for orgasm, because gravity helps the blood flow south. but me personally I like the different variations of missionary it helps when you put some pillows under your ass to tilt your pelvis upward.\n It sounds kind of weird but you have to stop concentrating on pleasing him and think about yourself for a min. I mean honestly you really can't climax if the only thing your thinken about is how he is feeling.concentrate on how good he feels to you if he gets you excited but just can't push you over the edge don't hesitate to reach your hand down there and help him out. I can almost guarantee that he will luv the result.


When is your birthday?\n\nWhat is your sign?\n\nDoes your zodiac sign fit you?


I've been having this problem ever since i had my first yearly exam, and it's embarrasing to me so please don't poke fun. I am always wet and oozing this kind of milky white cream even when i haven't had intercourse for a while. It has an odor, not a bad one but it's somewhat strong to be coming from there. I can't afford to see a doctor yet, and everytime i have intercourse it hurts like it's the first time. Any ideas on what i can do? or what it may be?

Me and my friend say you have BV bacterial Vaginois. Go get seen by a doctor there has to be some where in your town you can go that helps people with no insurance. The doctor will prescribe metro gel for you, but you will need a prescription for it. also try an over the counter anti fungal cream, like monastate 7.


Ever hear something so incredibly stupid it made your head turn

I ask about the sex of my high school teacher' unborn child and a classmate answered : "I believe is a boy or a girl", until now I do not believe that the dude was serious, however he was.


Whoever came up with that idea is a huge racist.

The same kind of people who feel the solution the the health issue of drug abuse is best handled by prisons...the same people who think that the US will bring democracy to other countries even if we have to kill all the "evil doers" to accomplish our goal.\n\nThere are real problems associated with illegal immigration, but it won't be solved by criminalizing the issue...that is how totalitarian regimes solve problems...hopefully the USA is better than that.


Depends of the manufacturer. With DELL you can do this quite nicely: www.dell.com.


erm i dont think this is the right category for this question 0_o

well you did not say if 1 was the worst or if 10 was? but anyway my answer is 5.


How much did you loose and how did you do it?

2 years ago, I weighed almost 350 lbs, I would lose my breath walking out to the car to go to work. I had to walk up 6 flights of stairs to get to my desk at work, and was thrilled when they installed an elevator. I knew that I had to do something to make my life better for me. Now, after 2 long years of hard work, I am proud to say that I have lost 70 lbs, taking me down to 280 lbs. I know that I have lost a lot of weight, but I know that I have a lot more to lose. Here is what I did to help myself lose the weight.\n\nI changed a good portion of my eating habits. I now eat lots of fruits and veggies, whereas before, the closest I ever came to fruit was cherry cheesecake. I also started drinking tons of water. On an average day, I drink 1 gallon of water before I allow myself any other drinks. At family get togethers, I always bring a couple of veggie trays. This way, I know that I will (more than likely) have left overs, and there will be something that I will eat without feeling bad. Just so I don't get to discouraged, I allow myself to have 1 bowl of  low fat, no sugar added, vanilla ice cream a month. \n\n\nAnother thing that I did is exercising. I had to start slow, by walking around the neighborhood twice a day, three days a week. Now, I jog around the neighborhood 2 miles twice a day, three days a week. On the days that it is to cold or rainy to go outside, I do one of my workout tapes. I alternate between pilates and tie bow (not sure on the spelling). I have also joined a gym so I can do strength training. I have also enlisted the help of my best friend. I have read many articles saying that a person is more motivated and likely to lose weight with the help of a workout partner.\n\nI also enjoy swimming as a form of cario activity.\n\nI hope this info helps, and good luck with your weight loss!!
