they speak of a "relationship" with a corpse\n\nthey practice canibalism\n\nsomething that a witch would never do\n\nthis is indeed a sick religion to follow\n\nif you are in it\n\nget out\n\nfast\n\nor they will force you eat a corpse\n\nin order to steal your soul

If people claimed you flew around on brooms and turned into toads, it wouldn't make it true, and it wouldn't be fair to your religion.  Don't do the same to mine.


My husband will be doing a fellowship at UCSD which will involve rotations mostly at a hospital at Hillcrest plus some rotations in the UCSD area and I will go to University of San Diego.

I grew up in San Diego!  Don't live there now, but I have much to say on the matter.\n\nDepends on how much you want to spend.  San Diego is not cheap.  Don't live farther south than Chula Vista unless you don't mind illegal aliens running around your property.  National City is a no-no unless you don't mind a little gang activity.  Stay away from the Navy bases, bad influences abound outside the gates of military bases.\n\nI would consider a gated community in the Mission Valley area or go north towards La Jolla/Del Mar area.  Of course, that will cost you a pretty penny.  \n\nBe wary of the traffic and factor that into your commute.  Lots of beautiful and safe places but they're generally farther away.


also is it safe to give your credit card number and trust that they will not charge your card if you cancel before the free trial is over. example on line surveys that require you to do a free trial in order to get paid and they ask for your credit card info

Stay away from online surveys that ask you for your credit card number and charge you.\n\nLegitimate market research companies DO NOT CHARGE their respondents. In fact, they pay the respondents. Part of the costing that these market research companies send to their clients is the fees they will pay respondents. So if you pay instead of them paying you, don't give them your credit card as that is not a legitimate market research company.\n\nI suggest you read the article "Earning Money From Online Surveys"  http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol121/onlinesurvey.htm


I mean if you think you are beautiful tell me why \nand if possible leave a link of your photo ( if you don’t want public leave the link for me (personal message))

Dare anyone answer you! LOL When I saw your question it took me back to Jr. High..and I will not say how long ago that was. There was this georgous girl in 8th grade. She walked like she was a princess and her face was like an angel. ( no I am not a guy, go with me here) Everyone was speechless around her because her beauty was unreal. I can see her face like it was yesterday. Well, as this beauties personality came to bloom in front of us over time she became very ugly. She had a cold heart, was completely self-centered, had a foul mouth and very unpleasant to be around. Sure she had boyfriends but they were for very short terms and they never went back. I felt sad for her, it was as if her beauty was.... deceiving.... her. In conlusion, I will say that, as for myself I do not think I am ugly, I FEEL beautiful at times, but my body will become very wrinkled and probably arthritic someday with those age spots too, the only beauty worth noting comes from inside. I know it sounds cliche or idealistic but I think it is so true. The personality, character, and SOUL is what makes someone beautiful.

Is that the main reason why the US is making problems for them, ....or is it something else?\nI want honest answers!

If iran is heading for Nuclear power,then the reason is basically to start thinking of ways to produce alternate energy.They know it very well that Oil is not gonna stay there forever and now is the time,though already late but not too late,to start initiating a different source.And,its also to notice that<u just cant use the nuclear energy instantly,u have go through all the tests that goes on for years finally b4 you are actually using the product commercially.US has its own reserve of oil which is biiiig as well,but they prefer to finish off the reserve of the rest of the world first with its monopoly themes and will start rigging full fledged then.Imposing a threat alarm on Iran is nothing but gathering the world opinion to go for a war and start selling stock pile of new weapons and buying oil from Iran with lower price when UN imposes sanction after the first stage of battle finishes.US has created the environment just like the british did when they were the masters of the universe.

... gaining distance from the earth in every direction? The logical conclusion is that the universe is expanding, right? And if you track that movement back in time don't you come to a point where all matter was lumped together? No weary God-did-it answers, please. This is the astronomy section not religion.

I can't say i'm a supporter of either UNS / BigB theories coz both isn't convincing enough to me. Your point here is exactly why i don't believe in UNS, as for BigB, yes your argument does suggest that everything starts from a singularity.. then what is that singularity? Can universe be considered started because of the big bang then? or was that singularity was actually been part of the universe all along? if you think from here further.. don't you think UNS sounds more logical?\n\nall and all.. they're all theories, and believes.. just like we can't prove the theories about Multiverse.

An average human consumes 200 kg paper per year. 20% of it is recycled so *newly* created paper is around 160 kg per year. A kg of paper requires around 3.5 kg wood from a paper tree. Thus per year 560 kg wood is consumed by me just on paper. How many (paper)trees do I consume per year?

Banana paper is 100% recycled and the factoids on the inside cover state that every ton, 2,000 U.S. pounds (not sure about kilograms) saves 17 to 20 trees. It's cut from 20 pounds so every time one uses 100 of these 70 sheet notebooks one saves 17 to 20 trees.  Let's say in one year you use 10 of these notebooks you saved about two trees.

A few yrs ago a friend told another friend her baby wasn't cute.

on valentines day we got into a fight and since then she hasn't called me. i called her two days ago becuase she is sometimes stubborn. She was nice to me and we talked for half an hour. now when i called her yesterday, she had a attiutde for no reason. she says that why we not together anymore. what do i do?

a relationship this long should not end with a break up . Just communicate with her .. see what and how  she feels and what went wrong and try find solutions for it 2gether.

When I am playing Diablo II online, pop-ups get in the way and make it lag, or worse. I need some kind of program that I can turn on before I start playing it that will block internet explorers like pop-ups and such. Just as long as it does not run on Flash, I can probably use it. Thank you for your time.

If you are getting popups while you are playing a game, not while you are actually surfing the web, you may have some spyware that is causing the popups.  While the Popup Blockers mention do a good job blocking web popups, it wont stop the ones that spyware will make.  Some spyware actually opens IE windows for their popups, so I ask this question; Are you surfing while you play Diablo?\n\nIf not, get a good spyware tool such as Ad-Aware from LavaSoft http://www.lavasoft.com/ and get Hi-Jack This to remove the spyware from your computer.

can i change my browser settings so that when i open msn messenger or yahoo messenger...and see my mail by clicking the link there, it opens in firefox whereas all other internet sites open using internet explorer?

Yes you can if you have another type of web browser installed on your computer here is how to set it up.  on the start button of windows right click select properties, this should open up a window with 2 tabs at the top you want the start menu tab, click start menu and click on customize.  This will bring up another window select the General Tab and where it says "Show on Start menu", you will see 2 option one for internet and one for email, you want the internet one make sure it is checked and change the setting to whichever webbrowser you want as your default. Click "OK" and your done.

it's easy to create an IRC channel, just /join a channel that doesn't exsist.  You may have to talk to the people that run the IRC network if you want to make it permenate though.\n\nTo create a server you will need to download the server software.\n\nFor Windows you can find a few server packages here:\n\nhttp://www.tusafe.com/nonags/servd32.html\n\n\nAnd for Linux:\n\nhttp://www.tucows.com/Linux/IS-IT/Servers/IRC/\n\n\nThough, if you are going to run your own server, I would reccomend that you read up on it.  The fist place I would look would be the documentation on the various IRC server package homepages.  Then do a yahoo search for more info


I'm trying to find out how to live cheaply on a low income with a family of 6.

I have been struggling with this for a while now.  My husband keeps telling me to spend less.  Well he went in the kitchen and fixed him a sandwich and decided I could buy Miracle Whip instead of the store brand.  Then he wanted bacon and I passed that up in the store trying to cut corners.  Can't do that any more.  The price of things just keep escalating, I am ready to give up.


I know that there is plenty of organizations willing to send me a bible for free. Does anyone know of any?

It won't be easy understanding Revelations without taking account of the rest of the Bible.  There are many prophecies in the other books of the Bible that tie in to Revelations.  Isaiah has plenty.  \n\nBut the most revealing ones of all, i.e, the most direct and descriptive, are Jesus' own predictions of the end times.  He mentioned this several times in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.\n\nMany of the prophecies written in the books other than Revelations actually explain what Revelations truly meant because some prophecies in the previous books are repeated in Revelations.\n\nGo to www.biblegateway.com for a free, online bible.

We were married in Feb. and my husband wants us to keep our seperate checking accounts. He says it is not an issue of trust, he just thinks since we have always handled our money seperately we should continue that way.  It still makes me feel like he is afraid I am going to spend all of his money. We both pay different bills each month for the house. Am I being to sensative about the situation??

After just being married, I'm sure that your mindset is that EVERYTHING should be together.  Seperate accounts is what he is used to at the moment.  This is all new for the both of you.  Give him a little time.  As time goes on, I am willing to bet the accounts will merge.  This is what happened to me.  I'm speaking from experience.  Don't push too much right now.  Lay low on this and see where it goes.


I can plug my PS2 straight into my tv using the red-white and yellow inputs on the front of my tv. I know that is the normal thing to do. I also have red-white and yellow inputs on the front of my PC. I can watch tv on my computer via an indoor Digital antenna. When I plug my PS2 into the computer I can hear the audio from the game but there are no visuals. Am I just thick because you cannot view PS2 on a computer screen, or am I missing something. I have asked at the store I bought the computer from, and was told it is not advisible to try. I have since met someone who says that he plays his PS2 games on his monitor through his PC. He is a serious gamer and I only met him briefly so cant ask him how he does it.Is he winding me up to make me look an idiot. I am new to gaming so please anybody with the Wisdom-Help.

No, No emulators exist for Windows based pc's its to hard to emulate a RISC cpu on a x86cpu, but if your trying to just view it, get a video capture card or as it seems your computer has the port, so go to START>Run and type in MOVIEMK then select import video from the menu and thas should be about it.


how do frisbees stay up in the air? i know it has to do with gravity and such but wats teh real scientific wa of explaining it..... or do u just have no clue?

The same reason airplanes do. Its a matter of lift and drag, based on the shape of the wing. A frisbee is just a circular wing.


.study longer or what at least i try? u know they push u soooo hard it's just confusing!!!!

If i were you, I would try to review as much as possible the night before. In my psychology class last semester, we learned that if you study the night before a test, you actually retain more information because your brain has had a chance to store it away into long-term memory. Then, the next morning, you just need to review and you'll be fine!...I like to use my notes to study, and index cards for terms. Also, find some people in your class to study with. It always helps!


Do you have any links to the websites that have the paperwork, any tips or suggestions, pitfalls, or any notes of experience on how hard or easy this is, how long the process takes, and cost...thanks for any advice or help.

Forming a limited liability company (LLC) is easy. Here are the steps you need to take to make your LLC a legal reality.\n\n1.Choose an available business name that complies with your state's LLC rules. \n2. File formal paperwork, usually called articles of organization, and pay the filing fee (ranging from $40 to $900, depending on the state). \n3. Create an LLC operating agreement, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the LLC members. \n4. Publish a notice of your intent to form an LLC (required in only a few states). \n5. Obtain licenses and permits that may be required for your business. \n\nChoosing a Name for Your LLC\n---------------------------------------\nThe name of your LLC must comply with the rules of your state's LLC division. (Typically, this office is combined with the corporations division, and is part of the department or secretary of state's office.) While requirements differ from state to state, generally:\n\n---the name cannot be the same as the name of another LLC on file with the LLC office \n---the name must end with an LLC designator, such as "Limited Liability Company" or "Limited Company," or an abbreviation of one of these phrases (such as "LLC," "L.L.C.," or "Ltd. Liability Co.")\n---the name cannot include certain words prohibited by the state, such as Bank, Insurance, Corporation or City (states differ widely on prohibited terms). \n\nYour state's LLC office can tell you how to check if your proposed name is available for your use. Often, for a small fee, you can reserve your LLC name for a short period of time until you file your articles of organization.\n\nBesides following your state's LLC naming rules, you must make sure your name won't violate another company's trademark.\n\nOnce you've found a legal and available name, you don't usually need to register it with your state. When you file your articles of organization, your business name will be automatically registered.\n\nFiling Articles of Organization\n-----------------------------------------\nAfter settling on a name, you must prepare and file "articles of organization" with your state's LLC filing office. While most states use the term "articles of organization" to refer to the basic document creating an LLC, some states (including Delaware, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Washington) use the term "certificate of formation." Two other states (Massachusetts and Pennsylvania) call the document a "certificate of organization."\n\nFiling Fees:\nOne disadvantage of forming an LLC instead of a partnership or a sole proprietorship is that you'll have to pay a filing fee when you submit your articles of organization. In most states, the fees are modest -- typically around $100. In a few others, they take a bigger bite: consider California ($70, plus an $800 annual tax), Illinois ($500), and Massachusetts ($500).\n\nRequired Information:\nArticles of organization are short, simple documents. In fact, you can usually prepare your own in just a few minutes by filling in the blanks and checking the boxes on a form provided by your state's filing office. Typically, you must provide only your LLC's name, its address, and sometimes the names of all of the owners -- called members. Generally, all of the LLC owners may prepare and sign the articles, or they can appoint just one person to do so.\n\nRegistered Agent:\nYou will probably also be required to list the name and address of a person -- usually one of the LLC members -- who will act as your LLC's "registered agent," or "agent for service of process." Your agent is the person who will receive legal papers in any future lawsuit involving your LLC.\n\nCreating an LLC Operating Agreement\n----------------------------------------\nEven though operating agreements need not be filed with the LLC filing office and

Am I getting fat or am I still evolving into a womanly shape?

I know that my chest didn't stop growing until I was 20 or so.  So you shouldn't be worried about it :)  However, if it seems like it's getting out of hand, then you should look at your habits and see what you can change (but most likely you're just getting more curves naturally).


i love him and i would die without him.. i waited 3 months for him to come back last time..now that we are together agagin its weird.what do you think i should do???

Leave his @ss...if it's weird and doesn't feel right, then that's not a relationship you need to be in. Just because you've been together for 2 years doesn't mean you have to stay together for old times sake. If he keeps leaving, this time you be the strong woman and walk away. Trust me, Honey, I know. I did it and I am much better for it. You may love him, but he obviously is not treating you the way you deserve to be treated and you need to cut your losses and get out.

Trying to lose weight for health reasons; I don't use pills or fad diets, just regular diet & exercise and I'm trying to gear my diet toward a higher protein, moderate carb, low fat style.  Also would like to know which cardio exercises are the best at weight loss (I currently work on ellipticals, treadmill and stationary bike-not spinning).  Goal weight: 163lbs. Currently: ~200lbs.  Any/all tips appreciated :D !!

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what's best for you. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.


Can anyone tell me the difference in wheel offset on chevy rally wheels on a 15"x7' and a 15"x 8"? I know common knowlege would say one inch but I'm not sur and don't know which to buy for a 99 S-10 Blazer 2WD. I want them to stick out a little farther than the stock wheels about even with the outside of the fenderwell. Thanks

You're right the the 15x8 would stick out further


I'm Lutheran, but I don't hold any hostility toward Catholics. I do worry that certain practices have crept into the church that Christ wouldn't have approved of (praying to Mary and the saints, for example). Still, your beliefs are a lot closer to mine than many other Protestant groups are, so I think we ought to be able to get along just fine. :)


To what extent is my privacy protected? Does the service provider still have a record of the sites visited even if all private info is cleared on the computer?

Yes.  Your IP and MAC addresses can be logged by the service provider.  This is generally used to track your surfing habits so that online retailers and such can provide more accurate advertising for sales.  It is also used as study for some to provide better services.  They cannot use this information against you in any way unless you have been caught engaging in illegal activity over the internet such as hacking or building child porn sites and such.  It is possible for all ISPs to track surfing habits, but not all do (unless asked to by law enforcement).  Check your service provider's privacy policy to get more specific information.

I want to give my friend the best gift possible for when we leave to go to college.  She loves indie films and wants to make her own.  She already has a camera and an tripod.  I want to give her something she'll really love.  Got any suggestions?

Well a good indie film maker needs a good place to jot down ideas. My suggestion would be to get her a really cool notebook (journal) and pen so this can be accomplished. Second - she'll need a cool place to think of these ideas for her films so you better get her a gift card to Starbucks. Dang...I wish someone would get ME this kind of gift. he he.\n\nSimple, possibly inexpensive, but full of meaning and usefulness.

For several years I've had really bad check out line karma.  I can't ever go shopping when I'm in a hurry because I almost always get in the line that has a major problem.  I've been very nice to the check out clerks in hopes of improving my karma.  Lately I think it has actually been working. . .

"We suffer when there is a gap between our imaginations and reality. The larger the gap, the more we suffer. By our imaginations I mean our expectations, having things go the way we want them, getting our way." -Sri Paramhamsa Nithyananda Swamiji\n\nLetting go is often the hardest thing. Karma yoga says that if we perform all actions as something sacred and holy...give to the Divine...that we then release ourselves from its attachment. We still get the results, but we are not focused on having things turn out a certain way (Bhagavad Gita Chapters 3 and 4 elaborate on Karma Yoga). \n\nI find that if I go into a store, buy something, and then walk up to a line without even looking to find which one is longer or shorter...and not caring either...and then stand there and wait patiently (often just chanting my mantra silently to myself), that often times I either don't notice the pace of the line (it may be a long line, but sometimes each person has only a few items so it goes quickly, or some other scenario) or that another clerk will notice me waiting with my few items (actually I'm pretty bad about going shopping and buying only what I need for that day and the next day, but not shopping for like weeks or months...which means much more trips to the stores obviously...I'm working on trying to change this perhaps), but a clerk who is not busy will find me and ask if they can help me at their register. That's just one of several scenarios and truly I don't know if I'm in the longest line or not (like I said I don't compare, I just get in line and wait my turn).\n\nNow, did this happen over night? Are you kidding?!?!?! No, it took time and some pain getting myself to actually do it (old habits die hard, eh?!). The karma you are experiencing is definately related to your calm in the situation, by embracing the situation and giving up your attachment to trying to control the situation and have it manifest your way and thereby causing you to suffer. Keep it up and I know it will keep on improving. Afterall, karma in Sanskrit just means "action" and we can all control our actions (physical and mental).\n\nPeace.

When I copy my whole CD to my hard drive this take long time about 10 minutes, Can I found software (program) increase the speed of this process (decrease the time needed for this process ). Like Internet download manager in the Internet. Please.

Like Ubergeek said, this probably is not a software issue.  You can copy things faster if you do not use windows explorer, but use a command prompt and do an Xcopy, but you will still see the hardware limitation from your CD drive.  You can also add more system memory which will increase your copying speed.


Storage space, you can have pets, you can have a garden, you can let your kids play in the yard, you can dry your laundry on a clothesline if you like, you can have a washer and drier, You can go outside and still be on your own property.


Re-certs regarding loan appraisals & inspections

just do the job you are paid to do.does someone have to be watching you every minute?\nand we wonder why the companies are going elsewhere where people give 70 cents work for 70 cents pay.i wonder if they make special effort to cheat their boss? probably not.


After years of using Google as my search engine, it just stopped working last week.  I had run Spybot and Ad-Aware before it stopped working, but I have run those programs many times prior to this.  Any ideas? I have a secured wireless setup using broadband connection.  Also using Mozilla Firefox 5.0.  Tried it in IE 6.0 with the same results.

Try turning off all spyware and antivirus protection and see if you can get to the Google website.  If that does not work, then shut down the modem, the router and then reboot the PC. Wait about 60 seconds and turn things back on in the same sequence so they all clear themselves and reset.\nCheck to see if you "blocked" Google in IE 6.0 as well.


I am not against her having black friends, but why can't she just accept that she is white and they will like her for who she is.

Its probably not that she wants to be black, but that she loves the culture.  I have noticed teens from many different races that admire black culture. If you are really concerned it may just be a phase. However, if she is in fact not proud of the skin shes in, just let her know to love herself and explain to her that she can be just as cool as her friends are being herself.

All websites do not allow you to use any clipart for commercial use and if you do use hem its like $$$$$$$$$$$$ per picture, does anyone know a way around this or a cheap method? thanks!

Istockphot is the best place I have found so far. It's free to join, then you buy according to what you need.  $1 for a small web ready shot or $10 for a larger one etc.  They have some amazing photographs by some very talented people.\n\nGood Luck


you may wanna do a little research before you speak.

Because it's in the dictionary.\n\nMost dictionaries aren't static - they change as the vernacular does.  Enough people started using 'irregardless' over a long enough period of time and Merriam-Webster, at least, finally gave in.\n\nI know it's a double negative, and it irritates me too, but what can you do?  They've even put DOH! in the dictionary.  (i.e. Homer Simpson)


I'm looking for serious answers only, please...

Conservative and Liberal are terms only describing your tendency towards one side or another on certain issues.  It really has nothing to do with party affiliation.  There are a number of conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans, but the majority of Republicans tend to be more conservative and the majority of Democrats tend to be more liberal, which is how the words have come to be used as pseudo-insults from one party to the other.


and she's cool with it i also told ma big brother and hes ok with is as well

OK everbody knows, does the one losing the interest know everybody know's. Ask for your best friends advice on her brother and see what she says.


My daughter received a violent threat on her life in her MSN messenger.  Police will not handle it due to lack of technology. Is there something I can do to trace where it came from?  I am contacting FBI to report also.  Thanks

No, there is not.\n\nI also suggest you take it easy.  I can't even begin to count how many peoples lives I have threatened over MSN messenger.


The Bible states quite frequently that "ALL" who believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ will make it into heaven. So it is rather hard to give you a number. I just know that one day when I am in heaven I will be able to find out. Read John 3:16


I think I should go and dance off in the dance

Depends - What are you most passionate about, chances are if you love something, you will give it your best shot and may come through more naturally.\nAnother thing maybe to rekindle what memories the old school had for you and others. That way people participate alongside with you. In any case have fun


i donot know why i get head ache when i learn theory answers continuosly for more than 2 hours with 5 munites gap in between,  due to head ache my whole plans get spoilt and i end up getiing addicted to internet movies , songs, yahoo answers etc, i like the theory and subject still i dont know why, but when i practise accounts or maths i have more stamina like more than 4 hours, some one give me study tips to improve my stamina for more than 14 hours gradually , i have time i want to learn slowly , any one out there with proven strategies answer me, THANX A MILLION.

When you know that you are going to study for such a lengthy period of time, take two tylenols and extend your break to thirty minutes. Fourteen hours is a long time though. Don't cram.


I thought I heard they did when the registration was taking place,The poll workers weren't allowed to ask their nationality.I May be wrong though.Really just don't know.

The poll worker doesn't ask for nationality. The voter does have to be registered and registered in the precinct they are attempting to vote in. Any US citizen over 18 can register to vote as long as their rights have not been rescinded due to a felony conviction. I don't think that non US citizens can vote. I also don't think that there is such a thing as a undocumented resident being legal unless they are a citizen, and most of us have some form of documentation.


CBS stated he used his last year to promote Sirius to jack up his stock in Sirius.\nHoward says that CBS didn't object to what he was doing until now and made there money while he was on the air that last year.

I think that too much ends up in court these days.  CBS is just showing their sour grapes and the reason that the radio side of their business is hurting (and they couldnt replace howard with anyone better than David Lee Roth -- who is really bad by the way)

as far as the english language goes, who said, we'll call this a nose or this grass & that goes for every word that is in the dictionary

All of this has evolved over the centuries. It is correct to say that English has its roots in Sanskrit, or at least in some kind of proto-European language. The main thing, however, is that ever since language evolved, conventions have been formed by which we live today. A nose is not a "nose" through any natural law, but through an agreement within a society.


I would only find statistics for modern racers...maybe these links will help!


why is that when you have a friend and he wont tell u that he likes he he wont front it to you

Some guys will,but others are too "shy" to do so. They are afraid of rejection or seeming weak because they admitted their feelings. It makes them vulnerable and they don't like it.


religion has got its own specific categories , use it . lets keep some lightness and fun in the other areas

I'm totally fine with religion in the Religion & Spirituality section. But every day I see people in the Science & Mathematics section trying to answer questions with God. Keep it in the category.


okay my exboyfriend found out i have a boyfriend and so called loves me still. but i have a boyfriend. and i still love him a little bit to. but he has a baby now and it waz born on my b-day. u think i should leave him alone or still stay friends with him?

Assess your emotions first, who do you love more? Who treats you better? Do you really think your ex still loves you or does he just want someone to help him with his baby? \n\nAnd before you do anything with your ex, talk with your current boyfriend.\n\nDon't just follow your heart, use your head as well.


Wow, I'm really sorry. You have a sister?


i want to execute ms-dos program in c++ code. how?\n(i uses Visual studio 2005 - VC++)

Well in reports I don't want like student made reports I mean reports like say a teen killed themselves 2 nights ago and on the title it would say "Teen committed suicide on Sunday." Like a public report to everyone. I keep looking for them but I'm always getting "Suicide Prevention" I want details on TEEN SUICIDE, when,where,why,how and all that. So if anyone knows where I can get these pleease tell me thanks.

the library has excellent book on suicide . i have read some before . good luck !


I think they should be test every ten games.

It should be once a month randomly.  That would be every 25 - 30 games.


Because his version of Johnny Cash, "walk the line" has already been done by the band Live, 5 yrs ago. Every rock song he hass done, such as that Stevie Wonder song, was also done by Chili peppers....he sang their version.....he as no original versions of his own........

I agree with Elizabeth.  This "controversy" has been completely blown out of proportion.  Chris is original in this competition, and he doesn't compromise on who he is as a performer no matter what genre is selected.  Chris never once said that version was his arrangement, and don't you think if it were, the producers would have hyped that up so much that no one would have had any doubt!?  They would have shown him working on it and collaborating with the band etc.  There was none of that.  I never assumed for a moment that it was Chris' own work.  By the way, not one of the others has done any original versions of their songs either so why single Chris out for that purpose?  I personally don't think they have enough time to actually come up with an original arrangement in the short time they have to prepare for their next performance.

We are not the supreme creation of God, Creation is the supreme act of God. We are still evolving, humans today are much different from thoase that were around even 200 years past. Those of you who reject science for God, humble yourselves. Science is man seeking understanding of God. Those who reject God for science, humble yourselves and your knowledge will grow by the grace of God. "A man without humility is a man who cannot learn", "The view from the center of your universe is the most severe form of tunnel vision" Leonard Begy

Well, I've never heard of Leonard Begy before, but he certainly has a point.  God and Science, or religion and science, are two different viewpoints on much of the same phenomena.  Science is necessarily materialistic in approach; God and religion are primarily non-materialistic.  Therefore, while they may be describing similar or even the same phenomena, they do so in different ways.  One is not more or less true than the other; they are not comparable.


We fight a lot. He's recently started a new job that consumes his six days of the week and the seventh day, he cant see me. I dont kno what to do.

well, A good thing to do is to talk. Communication is a great thing, both tell eachother how you feel, etc. Not only does it let it off your chests, but the other then knows whats going on and can react accordingly. The other thing I suggest is to make the precious time that you have count. Try not to argue, because he won't want to spend any extra time with you if thats what you do. Do something special, go out to dinner, have a bottle of wine and watch a film...something intimate and worthwhile, so that you both enjoy the time you spend together.


In some societies and Religions they do this five times a day.

What are lebows, and isn't a feat something you do?  How can you wash it?\n\nI shower once a day,(covering all of the above) wash my hands to the wrist/forearm whenever I use the bathroom,(sometimes more then 5 times a day if it's hot and I'm drinking lots of water) and that's about it.


in afganistan the government has put a individual on trial for changing his religion, they want to put this man to death, personally i think it is an outrage, whats your thoughts,

Yes is is totally disgusting and makes us look dumb too because we spent out money and blood to set that government up. They better do something to get that poor guy out of there!


put it in upside down! lol\n\nseriously, I dunno if it can be done from CD without expensive specialist decks, but if you rip a track to mp3 (or other format), most sound editors have a facility to reverse the track - I use soundforge, but free sound editing software is available. If you want to play it from CD, you could burn the reversed track(s) to a CD.

afterwards they never follow up with what they say?

Because we know what you guys are thinking, and we know it gets you off to hear us say it, but we don't want to actually DO whatever kinky thing you're talking about.  We want to please you, and frankly, if we were in the throes of passion, and we said, "heck, no, I don't want to do that!", it would kinda ruin the mood.  \n\nTalk with her honestly (if you REALLY want to know) sometime when you're NOT having sex.


i like a guy name jerrot and he is fine and cute soo i really like him but how can i tell him his girlfriend left and i really wanna take  her place well actually im not that mean i love him...

definitions, information, and your reaction regarding the topic are really in need.

Many colleges have placement services that help their students apply for jobs.  They might have job fairs on a regular basis, or offer space so that employers can interview potential employees.  Many placement services also help job seekers complile a file of documents that would help in the job search.  The file might contain reference letters, test scores, transcripts, as well as other documents.


Guys, my objective here is to edit this movie clip. The movie file is actually playable as long as i click the "select the program from the list" button whenever i open this file but the problem is in editing the movie. The movie editing software that i got (windows movie maker, pinnacle studio) doesnt recognize the file. I hope you guys can help. Thanks!!

I suggest right clicking the name of the file you want to change\n\nthan choose 'rename'\n\nthen type ."format" , ie. .wma .mpg etc after the file name  <-- which ever format you want to change it to.\n\nI changed a weird file format into a .iso image which could be burned onto cd once and it worked.\n\ngood luck


Afer 2 yrs of seperation she wants to get back together.  This is confusing the **** outa me

2yrs is a long time if you decide to get back together its like starting a new relationship except the fact you have been broken before. A relationship should not be brain surgery but in your case you should understand that some woman have to go to the bottom to realize that you were the best out there I will lie if i  was to say you can gain trust because now not only you don't trust her every argument is going to pop up about the fact that she left. Think about yourself a little think what do you want... whats gonna make you happy...she tested the water and now she want you ...you got to realize the importance of trust is in the relationship without it you wont be happy.....if you still love her you got to let the past go and expect it can happen again..........but you cant let it effect you....


I received an email and need to know how to verify if the source is legitimate.  Yahoo is unable to do this for me.  I am unable to send a reply, as they will not respond to correspondence. When I did reply, I got no response.\n\nThere is an attachment to a web interview system - "corporateoverview.com" . I am not certain this is for real, since I cannot verify the originating source.  \n\nIf this is all trusting, I need to get in on the web interview.  I just cannot seem to verify the source, and do not want to expose myself to a scam.  Even the sender's return address is ---@247interview.com.  Just seems a bit fishy to me.\n\nI have attempted to research the person (Mr. Vice Pres.) who sent the email, as well as the interviewing system company, but have had no luck.  \n\nAny tricks to detecting a phony email by viewing headers or whatever?  \n\nYour advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Its a spoof for sure. \nBecause the website does not look legitamate at any cost. There is no link on that website that says "who those people are"\n\nif you visit any legitimate website, then there is always a like that says "About..." \n\nI could also not find their information on any whois websites, which means that those websites i.e corporateinternview.com  and 247interview.com are all registered under some hidden domain.. which is totally fishy..\n\ni would say, do not trust it.


Here is my sentence:  I would like to revisit this community, my home town, this time fulfilling the role of teacher/therapist rather than student, in order to make my education an experience that comes full-circle.  \n\nDo I say "comes full-cirle" or do I say "a ful-circle experience"?  Any other suggestions??

full circle\nadv.\nBack to one's starting point: We've come full circle from wealth to poverty to wealth again.

I'm heading toward the end of my first year and feel like I'm one of the worst doctors in the world -and that I'm in the wrong business. My mountain of debt is the main motivator right now to keep trucking... can't take this stress forever... any input???!?

I felt the same way after my first year.  It truly shows you how little you know and that the learning process continues forever.  Residency is a time to learn your limits, gain exposure to as much as possible, and carry that experience forward into practice.\n\nFor me, after I got over the pain of my first two years, the overall experience is one that I would do over and over again.  Greatest time of my life - even the first two years.\n\nJust knowing that you can improve, being humbled by the amount to learn as well as the privilige to care for other people means you are one of the good ones.\n\nAs far as keeping with it - the rewards of medicine are not monetary, nor do they relate to power or standing of any sort. If you seek these things - you wont be satisfied.  the owrk you do has to be the reward.  If you don't think that is the case - do something else.  I am certain you can.  Doctors are the brightest and best - not just in medicine - I beleive any god doc can put the same intensity and effort into any pursuit and achieve greatness.  Don't forget that.\n\nAs one of my mentors said "Have some respect for self for God's sake.  You're a surgeon!"\n\nWhen you are done with residency, ask me about practice.


I lent money to a friend over 6 months ago and the debt has not been repaid at the agreed upon time frame. No contract was signed and I want to know if I can take legal matters to get my money back.

Judge Joe Brown would love for you to give him a call.  LOL, but if not, Small Claims Court is definately the way to go.  It helps if you have documentation that you actually gave them the money (such as a cancelled check).  But the odds are your friend wont show up for court anyway, and you'll just get a default judgement for the $$.  Of course, collecting the $$ after that can be a whole new challenge.


Okay so there is a really hot girl at my school. I dont know if i should ask her out. cause i dont really know if she likes me back. I dont want to ask here because i dont know what she will say, i dont want her to say no so what should i do.

ASK HER. ALL SHE CAN SAY IS NO. AND THEN IT'S HER LOST. IF YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON.


Will it be a "big" name or a rising star?

Indiana will be desperate to get a name the boosters and fans already know and love.  I can almost guarantee that they'll try to woo Steve Alford away from Iowa.


He was suspended for point gaming, specifically asking polling questions.  For some reason I am having a hard time understanding how it is points gaming, because you lose points when you ask questions...I guess I am missing something somewhere.  Now the Answers team is saying that they are willing to talk with him, he is saying that it isn't true.  Who really know, I'm staying out of it.\nAs far as the answer from Miss D about rating answers all day, that is completely wrong.  You can rate answers all the live long day if you want, there is nothing wrong with it.  You certainly shouldn't be suspended for it.  Personally, I think it would be quite boring, but, hey, whatever.  If they didn't want you to do it, they certainly wouldn't give you points for it.


If he left on parole vs. being released after his time maxxed out, you can contact Parole and ask his parole officer to forward him a letter from you, or to his last known address if he has been released from parole.

getting ready to take a trip, visiting many race teams in the mooresville, nc area.  would really like to visit the grave of the late great dale earnhardt.  problem is, i can't seem to get any clear answers as to where his burial site really is.  does anybody know?

Dale Earnhardt is buried in Mooresvillle, NC, specifically behind the main building at Dale Earnhardt Incorporated. I have seen an overhead photo of his grave, which is, as best as I can recall, a large mausoleum-type of grave. Across the top, outlined in marble, in the name Earnhardt.


Canada is one of those Countries that everyone points out as an example. Is it really? I heard Latin children are discriminated in school, and imigrants in general are treated as second class citizens.And let's not forget the anual seal slaughter tradition...

Trust me Canada is a lot less racist than the US. I have never heard of Latin kids being discriminated against. We have our moments of stupidity,like the kirpan thing,but no in general we are pretty reasonable. You find racists in every society by the way. We know that we are all from some where else anyway.\nForget the seal thing btw. It is overblown and poorly reported. It sounds like we all go out and whack seals over the head and skin them alive. Not true, the majority of seals are shot. It isn't nice to shoot animals of course but it is a hunt. Did you know that the cod levels have suffered since it was decided not to hunt as many seals.

in oracle; functions can return values, and st. procedures cant. is that the only difference? what ever i can do with st. procedures i can implement with functions. so why shud i need st. procedures ?

For what you are doing, there is no practical difference.\n\nThere are differences in terms of complex database activities, such as using triggers; changing server variables on the database server; error handling; the nature of the way data is returned, and other very complex, vary narrow semantics.

We've been together for 6 months and I belive hat his past relations have made him incapable of loving me. I've been in that same boat, but I try to learn from that and trust others. I don't know if I should stay with him and wait for God knows how long for him to trust his heart and know that he can trust me to by his side no matter what.

Six months seems like a long time.  Usually after just a couple of dates you start to know if you love someone.  After six months you should pretty much know if this relationship is going to be long term and the word love should be something easily given.  Maybe I'm just quicker to love than some but six months seems like forever.\n\nIt is obvious how important those three little words are to you, and I agree.  I think you are at a place where all you can do is sit him down and talk to him.  Ending a relationship is always hard and before reaching that point I think it is important to make sure you know absolutely from the other person their feelings on the issue.  Then you can honestly make your choice without having made an assumption.

when they dont know anything about Iraq? And why didnt they get rid of Saddam if they knew and cared?

Islam itself is an aggressive religion. It feeds on anger and percieved injustice. The only thing it has any respect for is strength. That is why we need to support our President and show Islam that American has some real teeth and we will smoke you if you mess with us.


i was told i had anxiety after 2 years of been treated for depression, but what i want to know is that i kind of get all weird when i taking an attack, it usually happens when something i have planned did not happen or when husband to be springs something on me to go somewhere, my heart gets fast, i get all agressive, i feel like i want to hit something or someone and have done, i cry and i give out and it takes about an hour to calm down after it, and then i get this guilty feeling that comes over me for what i was after doing, is this normal for anxiety sufferers,

If you have Anxiety/Panic Disorder, yes this is normal....BUT you must see a Doctor/Psychiatrist (if you are not already) to get this under control.  I also have this problem but there are different levels of Anxiety Disorder.  You need to discuss this with your Doctor so he can determine treatment/medication for you.  I take medication which helps me tremendously.  You can also try meditating when you feel the anxiety coming on.

I'm 20, I'd like to get a masters in elementary education, and I have no way of paying for it. Information or links on scholarships and grants would be helpful. Also, I was wondering if the gov. still offered programs where one could help teach overseas and get a partial tuition discount. Ty!

Here's a place to start: http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/index.jsp\\nalso, if you are getting it at a Public University, you have more funds available. There aren't a whole lot of resources for Post Grad education but there are some! Also, most schools have a Federal Perkins Loan program. I STRONGLY recommend you contact the Financial Aid dept at the school where you will get your Master's. If you haven't decided on a school yet, call one of your potentials or look at their website, there should be a resources page. GOOD LUCK!!!!

COULD ANYONE POINT ME TO A WEB DESIGNER WHO WOULD ONLY CHARGE ME INEXPENSIVE


I got a massage that I won some $ from Yahoo Birthday Prize ... and asking me to pay 5% advance.... ???

There's a NEW IDIOT here about every 15 seconds with this question...


i bite my nails,the skin around my nails,the inside of my cheek......if there is a peice of skin on my fingers like hanging there or peeled off i will cut it off or bite it off  its so annoying i cant stop does anyone know how i can stop this?i know its probably caused by stress.anyways,any ideas?

Try chewing gum or suckings.  If you change your habit, it may help.  Try to pay attention to when you are doing it too!  If you are doing it when you are bored, try finding activities, such as cleaning, going for a walk or some hobby.  If you are doing it when you are nervous, try breathing exercises.


Got CPu on cable and need to set up to coincide with this device.

depends on your connection type.\nif you are a dhcp (obtain ip automatically) you should just plug the ethernet cable from your modem into the linksys into the lan or internet port. Then another ethernet from E1 into your computer. From here you should just unplug your modem and linksys for 30 seconds. plug in modem first until you get all of your normal lights, then plug in linksys. When linksys stops flashing you should have internet access.\nIf you have a pppoe connection you have to open internet explorer. in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and click go\nit will ask you for user name and password and it is "admin" in both boxes. inside linksys page go to setup tab. for internet connection type put in pppoe. a box will appear below asking for your user name and password (everything else can be blank) click on save at the bottom. Then go to the status tab at the top and click on connect.\nHopefully this works for you, if not call linksys at  18003267114 and as long as you understand broken english they can assist you further.


i need to do a report in my english class on my heritage but i can't find anything

Don't know, the one in Australia looks nice...\n\nhttp://www.skp.com.au/memorials/pages/20776.htm


It's spelled structure.  It's how data are organized.


I know how to change the font color on size, but everyone else has suck cool backgrounds and i'm stuck with the plain white I started with. Any suggestions?

if you go to someones myspace and you see a background you like, there will most likely be a link that goes to the page where you get the backgrounds.. then you copy the code and paste it at the bottom of you about me section.. if you ever feel like changing it again, paste the new code at the bottom of the about me section and it will display instead of the other one


2.A simple medium access control protocol would be to use a fixed assignment Time Division Multiplexing  (TDM) scheme. Each station is assigned one time slot per cycle for transmission. For the bus, the length of each slot is the time to transmit 1000 bits plus the end-to-end propagation delay. Stations monitor all time slots for reception. Assume a propagation time of  200000000 m/s. For N stations, what is the throughput per station for \na.A 10-km, 100-Mbps baseband bus?\nb.Compute the throughput for 100, 1000 stations.


I hate my living situation.\nI am in a dorm with a person I cant stand.\nI constantly feel a need to be friends with my roomies friends even after she ratted out a very personal conversation I had with her. I am no saint either, it was an AIM conversation and I just kept feeling like she was talking about me so I snooped on her computer. Low and behold, the entire AIM conversation about my weight, fears, problems, etc was on the computer and she sent it to a person that I am trying to be friends with but lately have been very distant with. She said she doesnt like my "attitude" and that it can just be up and fixed. I am mad at them, but they dont know that I am aware of what they shared. I am beggining to hate myslef. I have so many problems here....It's not classes, it just people! I was an only child so Im not used to socializing.Not used to random people, not used to this $h!t   !!!! the school year is almost over. but  I am stressed, I am only typing htis because my roomie wants to

Please girl snap out of it. If your living arrangements suck then find somewhere else to live. As far as these so called friends you'll be lucky if you have one true friend for the remaining of your life. And when you find that 1 true friend you'll know; and please by all means hold on to it. I am most concerned about your health u must luv yourself before u can luv anyone else or before anyone else may luv u. when u don't love yourself most people can tell and they will use that to their advantage to miss use u and to make your life as misreable as possible.


is it necessary 2 get baptised in water once again before i get baptised with the holyspirit.

Baptism is an outward sign of the New Birth you have experienced. It is not necessary for salvation. It was originally a Jewish Rite called a "mikvah" the ceremonialy clensing before being declared "Clean." Apostle Paul said, "I'm glad I baptised none of you, except Crispus & Gaious and a few others. For God sent me not to baptise but to preach the Gosple." If Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles felt it's not necessary to baptise Gentile converts, then it is good enough for me. It doesn't hurt any if you do have it done, but not necessary to salvation.


Some people think that the psychological phenomenon is responsible to all distraction which human made on earth. Therefore, it works against the evolution theory.\nWhat do you think?

No, the psychological phenomena are also in accordance with Darwin's theory. The theory of natural selection states that the fit variety shall survive, and the unfit shall become extinct.  Thus, only the psychologically compatible will be able to survive, and the psychologicaly distracted will be removed.  This is what happens.. the mentally ill don't develop enough in society, and are eliminated.  The result is a psychologically more compatible species of homo sapiens.


i am looking to move to another town in new jersey, maybe even a different county is there any websites that i can go to that will give me general information of different towns including owns in other counties

"American FactFinder" (see the link below) is a service of the U.S. Census Bureau. Visitors to that site can view all kinds of information about just about any city or town in the country, including population, economics, housing, etc. You can also check out the latest estimate of the US population there - as of the moment I'm writing this, the estimated population of the United States is 298,315,058.\n\n(Look for the QuickFacts page for major cities - most of what you're looking for would probably be easily found there)\n\nAnother good site, but non-government affiliated is ePodunk, which offers profiles of some 46,000 cities, villages and communities across the US.\n\nThere are actually quite a few other, similar sites - but I think you'll find what you're looking for at one of these. \n\nHope it helps!


is there a kit for the front motor mount. i know i seen this engine in a merc in amgazine years ago.

That one will take a lot of fabrication.  Once built, you can useSemi trailer mud flaps, cut to fit for the "absorber".  That is what I use to do with my 64 Dart with a 396 CuIn.

Fill the tin with a small amount of water (approx 1 cup)\nHeat over a bunsen burner until water is boiling well.\nuse two fingers (inside a GLOVE) to screw the lid on the tin.\n\nPlace the tin in cold water, picking it up with 2 fingers..\nThe Steam from the water boiling displaces the air inside the tin, when you cap the tin and place it in cool water, the steam condenses back to water, a reduction in volume of 1725 times. This creates a vacuum inside the tin, and air pressure, 14.7 pounds per square inch, CRUSHES the tin


I have not dloaded it yet (I understand there are some issues about rolling it back) so wanted to ask if you nice folks *sweet smile* could tell me whether the CSS support has actually improved yet.\n\nCan anyone check http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/ and let us know if the spaceman scrolls with the page or if the page scrolls past the spaceman.\n\nIm wondering if the fixed positioning has been corrected.

Yep the space man stays where he is suposed to. My IE6 was broken so i didn't think twice before upgrading.  It is very much imporved.  I'd even go as far as saying that in many ways it is better than firefox (which i have used and loved for the last two years).


Not much other than a very clean intestine and perhaps some diarrhea.


I'm trying to plan a trip to STL to see the cardinal play the dodgers, but apparently there are only 'STANDING ROOM' and single seat tickets available.  Is anyone familiar with how this works.. Where would you stand, is it a good view?  I'm use to dodger stadium so this is a lil strange for me! Anyhelp is much appreciated

Not sure about the new Busch Stadium, but in the old park you would stand in open concourse areas behind the main seating (with ushers making sure you don't obstruct pedestrian traffic). If you can find a good spot, view will be pretty good, but make sure you wear comfy shoes as Cardinal fans are extremely loyal and there probably won't be many no-shows where you might be able to slip in and grab the open seats.


My college of choice says that it has ethernet in all the dorm rooms in one building and high-speed internet in another building. I want to be able to chat and messenger people but which one will allow that?

Ethernet is a type of connection avalilable only for wireless network cards. This type of connection is ususally very fast! You'll be able to chat with them, share files with them and vice versa! No problem!


I have seen this question asked on here before but they had such lame answers. I am looking for examples or hypotheticals. Please be literate before answering. \n\nI also saw a lot of "Christians" answering this. I am embarrassed to say I am a Christian after reading your judgemental answers about gays. \n\nWhat is funny is they say the Constitution is outdated because it is over 200 years old... but the Bible is thousands of years old.

Neither.\n\nThe genius of the founding fathers of the United States was not that they knew everything, but that they understood that they could not know everything. With that humble attitude, they included in the Constitution a feature which allows future generations to update the Constitution to fit the changing times.\n\nLook at all the amendments which have been added to the Constitution. Every amendment is a slight change to the Constitution to keep it updated with the times. \n\nThe 18th and 21st amendments are a perfect example. The 18th amendment was the prohibition of alcohol because people at that time thought that alcohol would destroy the country.\n\nWhen the people finally realized that the prohibition of alcohol gave rise to an even greater threat (gangsters like Al Capone), they decided to undo the 18th amendment with the 21st amendment. That's the Constitution changing with the times.


my son son has the sickle cell trait. I am doing research on this and have read that it could cause splenic infarction. I do not understand what this is. Does anyone know?

Splenic infarction is blockage of the spleen by the damaged blood cells.  The sickle cells, which are still produced with sickle cell trait, are sequestered and degraded by the spleen.  Unfortunately around half of the red blood cells in your son's body prodcued are sickle cells so the spleen is being over worked trying to take all of these cells out of the bloodstream, which will possibly cause and infarction.  Infarction is the fancy medical term for blockage of a vessel.  You have probably heard of a heart attack, which is just a myocardial infartion(a blockage of a heart vessel).  So splenic infarction would be a blockage of a splenic vessel, the problem is that it can cause necrosis(tissue death) in the spleen, lead to splenomegaly(enlarging of the spleen) and may have to be treated by removing the spleen.  I hope this helps a little.


Hahaha! Well theres ALLISON ROAD, PAPERTHORN? and WHAT NOW?! Haha, but the best one is my band - ALICE BAND - My friend Carmen plays guitar, Bronwyn sings lead, and I play the fool :) heeheehee!

Mine was an IBM PS/2 model 30.  I had alot of fun with that old machine.  It is still in our basement, have no idea if it will boot.  That was around 1990 or 1991.   I played the old commander keen series games, the old sierra role playing games, and the old dukne nukem games on it.

IBM clone 8088 with 64k mem, 20MB HD, 31/2 and 5.25 floppies, 15" color mon and a 9 pin color printer for just under 4,000.00 What a great unit when 286 was top of the line!!


ok my grandpa killed himself befor i was born but i didnt know until last summer, it dont seem fair that i never got to meet him cuz i do!! and i dont know what tro do cuz i so sick from thinking about it!!plz help!

if you're thinking of it as unfair that you only got to know about it last summer, maybe ur parents just don't want you to feel how they feel while you're still young.\nif you're sick from thinking about ur grandpa's incident.. don't. its not your fault.\nfinally if you think its unfair that u never get to know ur grandpa.. you can still catch up by talking about it with ur parents.. just as long as its not hurtful to your parents.


Well this makes two of us from england (Manchester)!


What kind of routine would i need to do when i go to the gym to swim? \nHow long should i swim? \nHow many laps should i do? \nDoes it matter if i do laps above or below the water? \nShould i drink water before or during my swim? \nOr should i take breaks?

Great exercise and therapy:\n\n Swimming can be very demanding for the beginner. Exercise at a comfortable pace and periodically check your heart rate to make sure you're staying in your training range. It is recommended that beginners swim 12-20 minutes, building endurance with time. As you progress, you'll be able to swim farther and faster at each workout, and the efficiency of your strokes will improve. Intermediate swimmers should swim 20-30 minutes and advanced swimmers 30-60 minutes. The freestyle, or crawl, is the most efficient and strenuous stroke. A 150 pound person burns about 8.5 calories, a minute, swimming freestyle. \n\n If you get tired, switch to a less strenuous stroke, such as the sidestroke or breaststroke, or swim a few laps with a kickboard. Swimming in sets - 4 laps freestyle, 4 laps breaststroke, 4 laps backstroke, for example - will make your workout more interesting and will exercise more muscles\n\nSimple Water Exercises:\n\n Kick with a kickboard or holding on to the side of the pool to tone legs, back and stomach. \n\n Leg lifts also condition legs, back and stomach. \n\n Holding on to the side of the pool, lift each leg 10 times in front of you, behind you and to each side. \n\n Running in the water increases your heart rate just as swimming does. Many people who can't run on land can run in the water without a problem. Because of the water's resistance, the impact on your body is far less. In chest-high water, begin by running with your hands on your head, and as you become more fit, paddle with your arms. You can alternate running with skipping, hopping, or even dancing in the water.\n\n Bobbing up and down in the water improves breathing and muscle tone. \n\n Treading in the water improves arm and leg strength. Whatever your level of ability, remember to cool down afterwards with water or stretching exercises


i've got a report to submit on the above topic.....\nplz help me by either telling me where to look for info or any other way possible

Lab's are getting out of fashion. I don't think they are getting very effective Why don't you make some extra research on the only advanced bilingual college program in the US? www.suagm.edu/orlando This will be an excellent add-on to your conclusions in the project.


Two years ago, we had two beautiful twin boys.  Ever since it seems the romance has disappeared.  All he wants me for is to satisfy him which results in no sex drive for me.  How do I get him to be more romantic and to enjoy our relationship again?

When you have kids, that can really take a toll on your relationship. Try arranging date nites. No matter what comes up. designate a specific evening of the week (month)...how ever you choose and use that as your "date nite". Get the in-laws or your parents to watch the kids and treat yourself and hubby to a romantic evening.


Is she right, or should I try to correct her elitist worldveiw?

I read in some books about a theory, that states that every time we get into a problem with more than one possible outcomes like the tossing of a coin, the universe splits into as many times as there are solutions, each universe contining one of the possible solutions. Thus, for the tossing of the coin, the universe may be split into two, one universe with the coind landing heads up, the other with the coin landing tails up.\n   But I have been wondering, is there really radomness. I mean, if we know the precise conditions that the coin was tossed in, e.g. the speed with it was spinned, thrown in to the air, the gravity at various heights, the windspeed, etc, we can put all this into some formulas and get back the result of the tossing without actually performing it.\n   So, I guess my question is, is there really something like randomness, or is it just because of our inability to measure things correctly that we call things random?

There are randomness in independent events. But there is no randomness in a set of data. Chaos theory suggests that every random or chaotic set of data is actually in some order. If you are trying to pick a bead from a bag that contains 6 different colors of beads, you can say that the color you pick is random. But if you do it 100 times, then you can say that there is an order and the set of data is not completely random.


Its soooo odd in this country... people over simplify things... if you hate Bush, they call you a liberal?  \n\nGuess what folks, there's more than 2 sides to an issue!  Is it THAT hard to figure out, that our lives are more complex than Right and Left??\n\nBy now, FINALLY, 68% of American people are against Bush.  And man, I was against him in the summer of 2000 when he called McCain a racist and said that he was a tratior when he was A PRISONER OF WAR.\n\nAnyway, just looking for someone to shed some light on the simplemindedness of the people of our country.\n\nI almost think we should start fining people who don't vote.  That happens in other countries.\n\nBut first, we need more than 2 political parties.  George Washington warned against the dangers of a 2 party system, and I feel that these dangers are rampant in our country today.  \n\nAnd much more frightening than terrorism.

Please read the last few lines after you read through this for a probable answer. (Thanks for reading me)\n\nThe US is undergoing some kind of a morality trauma. There are one or two issues which are the undercurrent in present US politics which are overtaking economic issues like unemployment or war on terror. \n\nThis is my opinion and I could be wrong.\n\n1. Anti Morality and Gay sentiments- The "good old" Amercians are shocked by the way amercian soceity is going and want to stop this trend. There are excesses on the moral front- like gay marriages issue. The Democrats seem to support gay marriages. They are the "Liberals" liberal to social issues of homosexuality, drugs, abortion. \n\nRecently, Arnold the Governator made a brilliant statement and cleverly avoided controversy and supported the conservatives on gay marriages. \n\n2. some recent court judgements on "secularism" The US public are getting alarmed by so called "secular trends" happening in US. For example the judgement on "Ten Commandments" by a US court. The conservatve American is aghast that Christian values are getting diluted. The Republican President George Bush represents a Church going- Christian of stable character, or thats the image he has. So when it comes to ballot, average American PERHAPS trusts George Bush rather than gay- sympathiser, "secular" democrats. \n\nSo as Bush put it in his speech, "If you are not with us, you are against us!"  So if you are not with Bush, you must be a Liberal!


it has to have some good stuff,lots of money on it, and be like 50+

Howdy, I used to play runescape quite a bit, I'de be more than glad to give you a hand.\n\n<OPINION>Welcome to RuneScape, or MMORPG's for that matter.  RuneScape isn't the sort of game where the community will be dieing to help you.  Demographics have shown at earlier times that RuneScape is mostly pre-teen males.  According to my knowledge, it is still that way now.\n\nAlso RuneScape is not 'intellectually' challenging -- Just time-consuming. \n\nThink of it this way... Children, playing a game, on the internet...  It's a cocktail for disaster.  The community is arrogant, rude, and self-centered.  The chances of you finding altruistic/selfless people to help you in this game are slim to none.\n\nPeople will insult you, ignore you, make fun of you, scam you, lie to you, all with litter remorse.  Why?  It's the internet, and they are mean kids.  They don't care.  Half of them can't even spell correctly for goodness sakes.</OPINION>\n\nSo you want wealth and fame in the world of runescape?  I can still help you, right now.\n\nIn my own opinion, RuneScape is not 'intellectually' challenging -- Just time-consuming.  Your best bet it to work in one trade skill and specialize, just to make money, then "play the market". Buy low, sell high. You could end up buying and item for 100k, selling for 110k, and making 10k profit.\n\nIn the mean time, I can give you a link which will provide a handful of helpful tutorials to help you out.  This GameFAQs link should cover your beginner-to-advanced trade skills and combat skills.  (trade skills are how you make money in RuneScape).\n\nTrade skills, such as clafting, smithing, mining, fletching, etc. are the ways you can make money in RuneScape.  At the end of the day, items and money aren't the main part of runescape, ANYONE can easily die and lose everything.  Your main goal of upkeep is your character's skills (be it fighting or trade).\n\n\nhttp://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/online/game/562728.html


I am not a virgin at all but my new boyfriend always hurts when we have sex. Its like he is hitting a bone or nerve and it causes me abdominal pain.

Sex should never be painful (unless you're into S&M or something like that). So, 1) is it painfully in certain positions? 2)just in one particular one? If its painful all the time its either a physical/medical problem. Now, I have heard from friends that the moment they said something to thier partner and their partner changed his position,force or ... it was no longer painful.


I have to do a powerpoint project on vietnamese immigration, and i need a whole slide on why they immigrated, but i can only come up with a few sentences...any help please share :D

They left Vietnam to escape the communist regime there. They also didn't want their songs to be taken for the military, or their daughters to be sold as prostitutes, etc. Opportunity is what it boils down to.


My mum was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I need to here anything good and bad.

The 5-year-survival rate is a statistical way of looking at the death rate in a cancer. It cannot tell you anything about your mother's individual chances since statistics only deal with groups. \nSome people can die from othe stage 2 cancer in 6 months, others will live with a stage 4 cancer for 10 years. As for survival rates at different stages, you can find them on many ovarian cancer websites, but don't get too discouraged by any low number or too overjoyed by a high one - statistics.\nYour best bet is an honest discussion with the oncologist but always keep in mind, noone can give you an absolute number. They just don't know.\nI wish you and your mother the very best of luck.\n\nMarch 4th, 8:43 pm: BEWARE!!!! This guy "tecuento 123" seems to be answering just about every question in Health with his sales pitch. He flogs it for MS, Cancer, Allergies and what-not. BEWARE!!!! Anyone in here who want to sell you something is probably a scammer, don't be taken! These people prey on the helpless and terrified!


I'm Trying to learn how to find the equation of a parabola.  I don't need an answer to this so much as an explination of how to do it and maybe why if you can explain that.  The problem is "Find the equation of a parabola with vertex at (0,0) and focus at (0,4) Find the equation of the directrix.

Things you need to know\n\nFormula for a parabola (with vertical symmetry): (x-h)^2 = 4a(y-k) where "h" and "k" are the x and y corrdinates of the vertex, and "a" is the distance from the vertex to the focus.\n\nCoordinates of the vertex: (h,k) - these tell you how far to shift your parabola from the origin.\nCoordinates of the focus: (h, k+a) - if a is the distance from vertex to focus, then k+a should give you the point of the focus\nFormula of the directrix: y = k-a -- the vertex lies halfway between the focus and directrix, so subtracting the distance from the vertex to the focus will give you the directrix.\n\nPlease ask your teacher if you do not understand the reasoning behind any of these formulas.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nNow, from what you are given, a vertex at (0,0) and a focus at (0,4) you can see that since the y coordinate is the one that changes, the focus lies above the vertex (not left or right) so it must be a vertically symmetrical parabola.  You can also tell that it opens upward, since the focus lies inside the parabola and it is above the vertex.  This means that the directrix is a flat line below the parabola.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nOn to solving your problem:\n\nVertex (h,k) = (0,0)\nFocus (h,k+a) = (0,4) so k+a = 4 -- from the vertex you know that k=0, so 0+a = 4, or a = 4\n\nRemember the formula for the directrix was y = k-a.  Plug in what you know and you get y = 0-4, or y = -4\n\nIf this still doesn't help, let me know and I'll try again :)  good luck!

An American aid worker taken hostage with three other peace activists was apparently tortured before he was shot in the head and chest and his body dumped near a railroad line in Baghdad, Iraqi police said Saturday. \n\nTom Fox, a 54-year-old member of Christian Peacemaker Teams from Clear Brook, Va., was the fifth American hostage killed in Iraq.\n\n-------------- (from Yahoo news) ---------\n\nI know we should OBVIOUSLY feel bad a life has been taken... but should we feel bad for Tom Fox specifically?  I mean, it's a tragedy and all, but he had no business being over there.  He learned that the terrorists over there don't care if you're anti-war, they want to kill you.  So I feel bad that someone has died, but I don't really feel BAD for Tom Fox, if that makes sense.... what do you think?

I have sorrow for those left behind to grieve his loss.  But I think, as a Christian, we should be proud of Tom Fox.  He did what so many of us are afraid to do.  He went to a dangerous place, aware of the risk, to do what he felt needed to be done.  He didn't go there to be killed.  He went there to help.  And I'm sure he made a difference.


What ways do your bf's show they own you and control you...how do they flirt with you...thanks

Hmmm....well when im with my boy and there are other guys around, he will keep me close to make sure they know im taken. he is so cute. hehehe.


I willing to spend up to $2,000.  Please tell me what options i should look for in a telescope and where i can get a really good one. tell me all you know.  i live in southeast michigan if that helps.

Ahhhhhhh...A fledgling Amateur Astronomer!!...WONDERFUL!!\n\nThe first and foremost thing to consider is APERTURE..This is the SIZE of the opening of the telescope...The reason is, except for the moon, astro objects are dim...the larger the aperture, the more LIGHT will be gathered and focused into your eyepiece, so the clearer the image and the higher magnification you can use without blurring.\n\nYou mention a price range of $2000...That much money will buy a GREAT telescope, however, I suggest you start with a less expensive Dobsonian telescope for your first purchase.\nThis will give you some experience, HOURS of enjoyment, and will let you see if you are REALLY interested enough to upgrade to a more expensive piece. Dobsonians ( or NEWTONIAN...Same principle, REFLECTORS ) of good quality can be purchased on E-bay for around $300-$500.\n\nIn the $2000 range, look for a 'Schmitt-Cassegrain' with ' Go-To' electronics...Readily available


i bought a custom shifter knob through ebay with no instructions.

they say you have to find heartache before happiness well i havent yet and ive had enough heart ache what next any successtion

If you have had enough of heartache, then why not just stop looking for love? I have this advice...just concentrate on yourself and be the person you've always wanted to be! take time to get to know yourself and what you really desire in a partner. Love will come looking when you least expect it! be patient and get ready for good things to come your way!


Keith Urban was born on October 26, 1967, making him 38 years old.


i have to submit a report on the above cited subject.please help me

mainly 3 benefits\n\n1>The govt employees get the golden handshake financial package and after early retirement can still work some where else and still get the pension after 58 years of age.\n\n2>Cleans the hierarchy built over seniority and reservations and makes room for the next generation who are waiting in the wings hoping some one up the pyramid retires.\n\n3>Government functioning  does become streamlined and is more efficient.


Y is it when you put something up for a vote (on yahoo) there is always one vote that has one point higher than the other votes. example: 4 people answered a question the asker put it up for a vote if one person voted for each question why is it if they have the same amount of votes there is always one answer that has a 1% higher vote. (33% 33% 33% 34%)

It is to make it 100% and it is normal to do it... and i think it is always the last one...


I just started to snowboard and i have no idea the type of board from all i've looked at..... i just need help!

Burton makes great women's boards.  K2's are supposed to be good as well, but I have a Burton and I love it.  And...they're great with their warranties.  Had troubles with my first board and they sent me a brand new one no questions asked.


The sole purpose of government is to control populations and gather power with which to further control their populations. In all of history, there has never been a government whose main interest was the benefit of the individual. Therefore, I subscribe to no political theory, because none actually work. I tolerate the government I live under because I, as an individual, have little choice.
