My husband's best friend is a female and I have major concerns about it. I have only met her once b/c we live in another state. I have seen his phone records and her number is on our phone statement twice as much as my number and not so short conversations either. I have even noticed where they have sent text messages back and forth for 2 hours at midnight sometimes later. I am never around when these calls are made. That's what makes me think more is to the story. He tells me I have nothing to be concerned about, b/c why is here and not there with her? Maybe I'm overreacting, but what do you all think?

I think it is possible to have friends of opposite sex, but what concernes me about your story is that he  is not open with you about this friendship. He should have no problem with you being present during his conversations with her. Another thing is after you get married, friends fade away a little and your spouse becomes a focus of your life, so it is unnatural to spend that much time even with your closest friend. If you have concerns about her, tell him about it, and if I was in this situation, I would insist that he only talks to her when I am around at least for a while so you could see for yourself that there is nothing more to the story. If she is just a friend as he claims she is, he won't have a problem with you being around while he is talking to her. But make sure you keep track of all the conversations you are aware of and see if those are the only ones that appear on the phone bill, but do it without him knowing that you are keeping track for two reasons: you won't come across as insecure and controlling and if he is doing something wrong it will be easier to catch him. I hope I'm making sense. Try not to accuse him of anything right away, just tell him that his relationship with that woman makes you unconfortable and you want to work out a situation that will work for both of you.


Enjole is not a word,at least not an English word.


To the ladies out there (but guys are welcome to comment, too): If you were on the market, and saw a nice looking single guy that you were attracted to, but later found out that he wore hearing aids, what is your first reaction? Be honest now.\nIs it a turn off? Is it a concern when reading and sizing him up?

i am 25 years old and here is my opinion...i don't think it would matter at all!! when i look for guys, i look for personality, confidence and respect. the fact that he has a hearing problem or some other type of physical "imperfection" does not turn me off. and i don't see it as anything to worry about at all. some girls may think so but, there are always those people. but they are narrow minded to pass you off for a reason like that.they are missing out on knowing a great person. it really is who you are inside and how comfortable you are with that. if you are comfortable with yourself, then others will be too.i like a guy who can be who he is because that is who he is. don't worry!


and both and women and the baby die, that person is charged with two accounts of murder????

I want to go visit a Japanese Garden near Balboa, and I want to get some personal feedback on what to expect when I get there.

I have been to several.  They are all different, but still invoke similar feelings.  Plan to spend some time there, don't just run through looking at the plants.  Sit on the benches, dwell on the bridges, watch the koi fish, relax.\nBring a camera if you want.  I usually do but soon forget that I have it.  The focus of the gardens is the observer, not the exhibits.  And you do not have to be a Zen Master to appreciate this.\nHave a great time.


Apparently, this new offshoot of the XBOX Live service (I'm not sure) is causing concern with parents because sex offenders are now using it.

No. Xbox and Playstations are not substitutes for spending time with your kids, nor are they virtual nannies. Instead, treat them as tools that would enable you to enjoy an activity together and buy games that you and your kids would have fun with playing competitively or cooperatively. Don't just hand it out on christmas and ignore them the rest of the year. There should be no reason sex offenders should even concern you if you exercise parental responsibility with regards to these consoles.

and is it normal as a begginner smoker to feel dizzy and my heart racing will my heartbeat ever go down wen i smoke correctly?or get used to it

Ha,ha,ha. Yeah, it's normal for you to feel dizzy. It may feel like your high for a couple of seconds. That happens to all begginer smokers. After a while, you'll get used to it and the dizzyness will stop. And the right way to smoke is to inhale, it's kind of hard to explain though. But just suck the smoke in (inhale the smoke). But you shouldn't smoke, it's a bad habbit.

I'm pretty sure you can't.  My Yahoo! uses RSS for some things but not all of them -- some appear to use a mechanism internal to Yahoo.\n\nYou can see which My Yahoo! items are RSS using the link below, which converts your subscriptions to more or less comprehensible OPML.  Note:  you have to be already logged in to Yahoo for the link to work.


I do not like the effexor side effects, and I need to switch medications but I am not sure which one I should suggest to my Doctor.

Do not be afraid to have a conversation about this with your doctor. Often he/she can discuss some more options. I have talked with some patients (I was on preceptorships) on switching to wellbutrin. Many of those said that wellbutrin has less side effects. I believe how ever wellbutrin is more expensive.(I'm not sure)\nHowever, everyone responds to meds different. Hope this helps.


im a scorpio/libra..(a cusp thing im still trying to figure that out) anyways, im thinking about dating this guy and hes a gemini. i dont run my life according to the horoscopes, but i'd like to know more about what a gemini is supposed to be like. thanx to all who answer!

I'm a Gemini. We are represented by the twins, so we are all a little two faced. Not necessarily in a dis-honest way. Geminis are charmers, usually full of this weird kind of energy that some find fun, and some think is too much. When I say two faced I don't mean bi-polar, that is a separate affliction. Geminis think very much about what others think of us, but we won't try to change to make others like us. We are articulate speakers, and good orators. We make people around us very comfortable, and tend to be able to blend in with any social situation. Umm, what else, I dunno, there is so much.

anti-personnel land mines made in Italy and the Chi-Com land mines used against American troops in Viet Nam?

I dont know any, Iraq equipments were mostly Russian specially it's Air Force which was mostly MIG-21 and MIG-25, Their Missle systems , Helicopters and light infantry equipments \n in the late years of war with Iran they used some europe made equipments.\nUSA only helped Iraq with some sattelite Information and in some cases prepared detailed battle planning on some of the best Iraqi military operations in Iran-Iraq war.\nAlso in some point in Iran-Iraq war US military helped Iraq in Persian Gulf.


ive never seen my cat laugh. what evolutionary purpose/advantage would it have?

I'm not sure why the ability is there; however, laughing does seem to cause the person to take in more oxygen and laughter does seem to also reduce stress.\n\nI see an advantage in both physiological aspects, but not how it translates to what caused the laughter directly.\n\nI've never seen my cat laugh either; I imagine the day I do see my cat laugh, I'll first look around for Rod Serling, then perhaps get the heck out of dodge.


i've tryed windows,but they tell me i have to buy the cd is that the turth?

You could probably download a trial version from the microsoft website. If you want to purchase it, don't do it directly from them, because you will pay top dollar. Do some research first and see who has the best price.


There is one sentence following: \nThe accent in Johor is very different to that of the people of Kelantan, near the Thai border.\n\nProblem 1: if "that of" is omitted, what will be wrong?\n\nproblem 2: the people of Kelantan: why I cannot use the "in" or "at"\n\nproblem 3: "Near Thai border" modifies "Johor" or "kalantan"???? Why? How can I never ask the problem again????? My grammar is too bad...\n\n\nProblem 4: Do u think the grammar book is really helpful for me?? Every time I read it, I almost fall asleep. Could you introduce me some best grammar book?\n\nBTW,sometimes I hear of "each and every day".... but I don't know what's the different between "each" and "every".... \n\nPls help me!!! Thank you!!!

first of all, i don't know.  if it was me, i would say "the accent in johor is very different FROM that of the people of kelantan, near the thai border."  however, i am american and i think your version may be more correct in the UK style of english, which is probably what you learn in malaysia.\n\n1.  the subject of the sentence is "the accent", so when you say it is very different, you should be talking about the people's accent, not the people.  if you leave out "that of" then you are comparing the accent to the people, which doesn't make sense.\n\n2.  usually, "in" is used for cities, but "of" is used for provinces, regions or countries.  although "of" could also be used for cities, too.  it's only a very small difference in meaning, though.\n\n3.  "near the thai border" modifies kelantan, because it comes directly after kelantan.  if the sentence was "the accent in johor, near the singapore border, is very different to that of the people of kelantan." then the phrase modifies johor.\n\n4.  no, most grammar books are horrible, even for people who like grammar.  the best way to learn grammar is to just use the language a lot - speak with people and practice.  you should pick it up quickly if you pay attention to the patterns.  \n\nthere are some funny grammar books out there, but they are only funny if you already know the language very well, because they make fun of common mistakes that people make.\n\n"each and every day" doesn't directly mean anything different from "every day", but it has a slight difference.   people sometimes say "every day" even though they only mean "often" or "sometimes" .. it's a way of exaggerating to make a point.  so sometimes people say "each and every day" to specify that they really do mean EVERY day.  however, lately this gets overused too in the same way as "every day" and before long we'll have to make up some new phrase.\n\none last thought - the grammar on these yahoo chat rooms and yahoo answers is, in general, terrible.  don't pick up the bad habits that are a fact of life around here.


Who are the highest paid police officers?

Working secury in Iraq. Really - $400 to $600 a day. There is a risk knowing that everone will hate you and want to slit your neck.\nOtherwise you have to write a book, say, "The Mushroom Field". Besure you have enough graft, sex, violence and maybe some kind of moral.

Every day someone asks whether the end is near.\n\nAmong the answers there are numerous posts that seem to think that the end times are upon us. That is to be expected. What makes me wonder is why so many of them seem so joyful about it.\n\nSome of you seem to be tapping your fingers in anticipation. Why? Can anyone explain this to me?

Well for a Christian this simply means that the Long awaited Days of Total Peace and Joy and the end of all sorrows is comming soon. They will get to be with Jesus their savior. The one who they live their lives here on earth for. Kinda like Stepping out of a Filthy nasty sewer that they have been trapped in forever and into clean fresh running water never to see or smell the sewer again.


it dosent matter,  both can be great and awful, the size is just a topic for girl talk but it really matters very little when it comes down getting a good feeling.

The judge made a statement during my defense that was bias and a personnal opinion that was the bases of his dececion. He did not even let me finish or even take my defense under consideration at all. In fact he was writing his decesion while I was talking.

Yes, you could probably appeal the judgment, but this may be a time consuming and costly process.


It sounds to me like you suffer from anxiety attacks, which is very common.  It is usually an inherited condition.  I have it and so do members of my family.  Your best course of action is to STOP living in fear!  When I first had a panic/anxiety attack, I thought I was dying!  I went right to a doctor and told him what my symptoms were: sweaty palms, heart beating very fast, shortness of breath, a fear of dying right then and there when I had the attack (which, by the way, was on an uncrowded bus on a beautiful summer day with all the windows open, so it wasn't due to claustrophobia).  He put me on a very low dose of medication that stops the attacks before they start.  It helped me tremendously!  So much so, that after awhile, when the attack would start to creep up on me, instead of taking a pill, I would identify what it was and that I was NOT dying or having a heart attack, and I would talk myself out of it.  Now I have been "attack free" for 5 years!  But please get to a doctor and get checked out.  This is a VERY treatable and curable disorder.

Love is the only Authentic comunication and all other acts people call personalities are elborate dramas based on the idea nobody loves them. I'd love to meet more people who know that and can afford to come to Belize for a visit. Especially if it's a Hottie Super Model with Daddy Issues.

Possibly. You know, Fred Flintstone could communicate, but then, he never wore shoes, either.

with some serious scaring.  It's a pretty sizeable amount of money that he can only get when he is 18, is there a good way to invest this money so that it will make him money it's just going to sit in an account for the next 8 years the way it is now.

Yahoo! is good for some answers, not for others. Ask your lawyer to recommend a stockbroker or financial advisor, and ask him/her this question.\n\nThere is a thing called risk-return ratio. The more you risk, the higher the (possible) return. If you put the money in a CD, it will get 3% - 5% and be as safe as you can get. Other investment have higher risks. To take an extreme example, if you put $1,000 into a one-year CD at 4%, at the end of the year you'd have $1,004, unless the US Government collapsed. \n\nIf, on the other hand, you flew to Las Vegas and put your $1,000 on "Red" at a roulette table, at the end of 45 seconds you'd have either $2,000 or nothing. Roulette carries a lot of risk, but the returns are high.\n\nStocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate partnerships, rare coins and stamps, uncut diamonds, race horses, classic muscle cars, old paintings - there are risks and possible returns with all of them. You have to decide how much risk you are comfortable with. Any banker, stockbroker or financial advisor worthy of the name will tell you the same thing. \n\nLong-term CD's are guaranteed by the FDIC; they almost always have the highest return for virtually no risk. 1-year CD's are running about 4.12% today (see link).\n\nIf the finacial advisor you go to has a sure-fire way to get over 8% a year, with NO risk, put one hand onyour wallet and walk away, slowly, never taking your eyes off his hands.\n\nThere are ways to get a 10%, 20% or 30% return on your money. They all carry some amount of risk of a 10%, 50% or 100% loss. The higher the potential return, the higher the potential risk.


I have a big mole near the front of my nose and it really bothers me alot. Some people critisize me for it.,I felt so dis-beauty and I want it to be remove.

Maybe you should work on your unseen attributes before you worry about how you look on the outside. Read a dictionary.


I am using someone else's computer.  Trying to set up seperate access, in each one I want to set up the Outlook program to come up at start up.  My mail account is through yahoo, the other person has theirs through the ISP.

You'll need something called POP3 access. I think Yahoo! Mail use to give you this access for free but have since closed it off for only Yahoo! Mail Plus users (requires $20/year fee).\n\nI needed to access Yahoo! Mail within Outlook as well and found a great solution. It's called FreePOPs (see link below). It's a free, tiny program that runs on the computer and allows you access to Yahoo! Mail (as well as many other web-based emails like Hotmail).\n\nThe only negatives I can see with the program are, you have to run the program whenever you check mail with outlook. For me, that means having it run all the time. Second, for some reason it doesn't pull junk mails. I normally wouldn't care about junk mail but if an email mistakenly gets filtered as junk, I'd like to know and be able to move it back to inbox.


my son was arrested for walking accross the railroad tracks when no train was coming and the arms were not down.

Well surely laws from city to city, and state to state vary, but the fact that he did it where there were arms would imply that it was on a road. If there was a sidewalk on either side of the tracks especially this would be even more ridiculous. The railroad will go in either direction long enough to make walking over it the only option short of hitching a ride for 12 feet, heh.\n\nI would contact an attorney before making any further actions, because you may have a wrongful arrest case, if the laws are the same where you are as everywhere else I've ever heard of. \n\nA simple answer is that atleast in Washington state it is legal to walk accross tracks if there is no warning of a train or train coming. If you go sit on the tracks, I can see, but crossing over, no.

What does this phrase mean exactly? \n\nI take it to mean 'I like you' as in a boy likes a girl. Or does it mean more like 'I love you'? \n\nI've translated it as 'I want you' and I believe I understand the superficial meaning but was wondering about the deeper, full meaning of the phrase

The usage of the language is quite different according to the part of Italy you're in. In the North it means I love you - man to woman -, as you go down South it shifts the meaning to I am fond of you  - brother to sister, father to son.


what is the angle between the bar and the level surface?

If I told you, you would get the answer correct, but would not have learned your trig assignment.\n\nHint:  Those tables in the back of the book are there for a reason!


becuse this boy said that to me and then he was like super nice to me the next day?

Sounds to me like a maturity issue.  He probably attacked you at first because he was intimidated that you would reject him.  By first rejecting you, he feels powerful and in control, taking his focus off his own fears.\n\nTread lightly and try being friends with him and see what his true intentions are.\n\nGood luck

I feel islam interferes with daily living too much..as in restrictions on food, and that too food that has been prayed on.., inability to work friday afternoons....\n\n\nI feel that these invasions into the normal life, along with the "battering of principles" into  young minds by Big mullahs/religious leaders makes muslim people EASIER TO END UP IN FANATICISM.......\n\nsomething about the way islam is taught or battered in, makes muslims drag god into everything...Terrorists have been there in all religions i agree, but only terrorists in muslim religion kill and shout God/allah...\n\n(P.S i am not muslim, i have good friends who are muslims, and i wont tolerate rubbish accusations of racism)

I really didnt get your point, i think you want to attack Islam more than you want a reasonable explaination.\n\nIslam does interfere our daily life? no it does'nt\n\nIslam is strongly related to our daily life, but it was never meant to interfere with it!\n\nall Islam teachings either from the Holy Quran or prophet Muhammad(PBUH) is great and with excellent goals and objectives.\n\nrestrictions on food like pork and wine? thats it? \ntrust me i am very satisfied by this, because i dont eat rubbish or drink what makes me look stupid by doing stupid things and saying stupid stuff.\n\nfood that is prayed on? i really didnt understand what you mean\n\nbefore we eat we just say a short sentence for the glory of al mighty Allah\nand nothing else, i wonder why you made it look like a struggle!\n\nwe dont work on friday thats right, but we have a goal behind this to worship God on this day and do good to all people.\n\n"O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): that is best for you if ye but knew!" \n\nHoly Qur'an \nAl-Jumu'a 62 9 \n\nRemembrance of Allah is the goal behind this day, and not to disable us from working.\n\ni dont take my teachings from Mullah as you said, i dont really care.\ni care for only one great teacher he is prophet Muhammad(PBUH) that taught us and taught us really well how to deal in everything in daily life and many things more, he teached us peace and wisdom too, so i take my lessons there not from mullah's class room.\n\nyou can never say only muslims in the muslim religon kill because thats not true, the most people that are being killed is from the muslim religon either dying in Iraq or Afganistan, and being killed by military, so its not important what religon you are or what type of weapon you are using, the most important thing is that you are killing people and its always bad.\n\nwe beleive in peace if our enemy gave us peace just like it said in the Holy Qur'an\n\n"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is the One that Heareth and Knoweth (all things)."\n\nAl-Anfal 8 61

get when they lose a large amount of weight? I see a lot of people that lose 100+ lbs and end up with lose, saggy skin that they have to have surgically removed. I want to try to avoid that.

I have a friend who lost 100+ pounds and her doctor had told her the way to prevent the loose skin is to lose the weight slowly and exercise.  You probably aren't going to prevent it in the lower belly area though.....that's the only place she has sagging skin....and it still doesn't look THAT bad.\n\nNicole


Elated?    Proud?  Boosts your self esteem?  Confident?   Smug?  Powerful?    In control?   Boosts your ego?  etc?

Well, I have had both kind of situations, when I got lotsa good replies to my questions, and when I did not get any answers to serious questions. \n\nI feel generally happy about getting good answers, and that tells me that some serious business is indeed getting done at this site, and not everything is crap! Not to mean that I dont like most of what is happening, but in some categories, the questiosn and answers are just too bad. \n\nSo, getting good answers tell you that its not that bad.\nSo you also feel happy about being able to ask a question that people in general have liked and answered seriously. \n\nYou also try to analyze what kind of question really get good answers, though i would admit i have not been able to reach to a conclusion. That is also because at time, some of my question have not got answers when i thought these would be good questions and will get lotsa answers.


Someone I know went to court for an OVI suspension, and one of the rulings from the court says OAL for 2 years, would like to know what this means, also what is an OVI suspension. Thank You

OVI = Operating a Vehicle while under the Influence\n\nI can't find OAL in any of my legal dictionaries or references, but I suspect it means he cannot operating any vehicle for two years. THe only thing I can find is OAL is the Office of Administrative Law?


I do not mean bands like My Chemical Romance or The Used or Senses Fail, these bands are pop-rock.  I mean the real good old-fashioned emo, like Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, or Rites of Spring.  Anyway, which one was first?

when did they get there? when did they leave?

live in Europe and never really thought we were involved in this so called 'war on terror' but then I thought about it last night and realised that we sort of are, or some countries are, so maybe we are a target. So, do you think the attack will be in Europe or America, and can you explain the reason for your answer rather than just naming one or other?\n\nThanks!

There is no easy answer to your question.  Bil Laden was trained by the CIA to fight off the Soviets when they invaded Afghanistan, so he is one tricky bastard.  Expect the unexpected.  Personally, I think its highly possible for him to his the US, the UK, a continental european city, and an asian city (think Tokyo) simultaneously, targeting financial centers (NYC, London, Paris, etc.)  \n\nPersonally, I think that he is wanting to come back to the USA, since he has not been able to touch us here since 9/11/01.  The only thing that will stop that is our security forces...if he is having logistical troubles hitting the US directly, he may well go after any nation that is participating on the war on terror.  If he chooses to go after a US Ally, think UK, as the English have been so supportive of the war on terror.\n\nOr, since he is a fanatic, he honestly could go anywhere that is not ruled by a strict Muslim government and call it a success, and keep the entire world a little paranoid....thats what a terrorist does.


Ok my ex girlfriend broke up with me and she said she wants to get back with me. Now she has done things in the past not so good for our relationship.\nShould i take her back  because i do love her, but i do not want o get hurt if i do. What shall i do?

It is easy to forgive and hard to forget, but if in the past relationship wit this chic, if she made the same mistake more than once than don't go back to her, because who is to say she won't do it again. So, if you don't want to get hurt leave her alone.But ,if ya'll situation ain't so bad off then give it a shot and try to make it work.


Can anyone tell me how I can create a backup disk for my \nHard disk drive before I do a disk clean-up using one of\nthe CleanUp software for hard disk drive.

go to start, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup.\n\nI also like the program crap cleaner to clean the harddrive. you can find it at filehippo.com. \nAlso to backup your harddrive, you need a dvdrw drive or an external hard drive or cdrw drive to copy your files to another storage space. i recommend the dvds or another hard drive because you'll need a lot of cds! then just burn your files like you would a music cd/dvd.


how do adson tv and Billboards effect are mind in a bad way

The Holiday ads on TV where the cartoon house is all glittering with lights, dark outside and ground covered in snow. As a car pulls up and people get out of the car and enter the house the spokesman is telling the story of the gifts they bring to the celebration (holiday turkey, $28), next car pulls in and some other gift and the amount it costs is announced. After four to five cars the announcer says, "A house full of good friends and family -- priceless." And it's an add for MasterCard. Then the ad tells you for every dollar you spend/borrow on your MasterCard you are eligible to win a house in the drawing. That's horrible! Encouraging people to take on debt and putting the carrot on the stick, not only to purposefully ruin you financially, but a gambler edge too? Disgusting. They have a law in the U.S. and at MasterCard that you can’t use your credit card for gambling. Shysters!


It was named after Buckminster Fuller who invented the geodesic dome, and it's somewhat of a ball based on sixty coordinates all based on phi.


and so when I called each month they told me it was 80 but when I got the bill it would be 120 to 150 which I couldn't afford the bill.  So i guess the question is that I felt they broke their contract with me cause it was never under 100 for 6 months, so I discontinue service with them and they keep harrassing me, so I need some help on getting them to quit calling me and yesterday they called me at work is there not some law that they are not to call you at work\nThanks

Yes, you need someplace to host your webpages so that others can view them.  The domain name is merely a friendly address people can use to get to your site.\n\nI use and suggest Dreamhost for hosting.

From your perspective that may be true but from a guys perspective it isn't right in front of him because guys think differently than girls and interpret words and behaviors differently.

Judge Scalia recently commented that he does not believe the constitution is robust or complete enough to avoid legislating from the bench, and that legislating from the bench has taken place for decades to the betterment of America.\n\nThis flys in the face of constructionists like Alito, doesn't it?

This is the best case I can think of to prove "Judge not, least ye be judged."


I know this question was asked before but now its not there.

A ROM is, as indicated before, a Read Only Memory, most often a single chip or integrated circuit (IC).\n\nA Flash Drive (sometimes called pen drives, thumb drives, memory sticks, etc), is a collection of chips, that contains a flash memory chip or IC, most often an EEPROM (Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and a small integrated USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface electronics.\n\nThe difference between the flash drive's EEPROM and a regular ROM is that a vanilla ROM is usually "written to" at a manufacturing plant and it cannot be changed.  An EEPROM can be erased and re-written electronically, for example through the USB, which supplies the power to the flash drive.\n\nFlash drives can and do fail after certain amount of "flashes", or re-writing.

do it hurt on the first time you have sex. im 14 and thinking about doing it

I wouldn't do it either...I'm 14 too and I'm definitely waiting to get married first.  Also, I think it just depends on who you are if it will hurt or not, that's what I heard.


ppl being interviewed were asked this question. out of the 5,893 asked, only 1 person got it right!! here it is:\n\n your driving down a country road in your two seated car in a bad rain storm. as you approach a bus stop just outside the city ur stopping at, you reach a bus stop.  you see 3 ppl. the 1st is an old woman who seems to get to a hospital quickly, 2nd an old childhood friend that once saved ur life, and the 3rd is the woman/man of ur dreams. and there is only room for one person. WHAT DO YOU DO??

Get out of the way so the bus can pick them up?

I have been thinking very seriously about a career in firefighting and am trying to gather all the information I can.  Anything given would be helpful.

Most firefighters in the country work 24 hours on 48 hours off.  They also have a set day off that they will never work. These are called "Kelly Day"\n\nExample\n\nMonTueWedThurFriSatSun\nONOFFOFFONOFFOFFON\nOFFOFFONOFFOFFONOFF\nOFFONOFFOFFKELLYOFFOFF\n\n\nMedian hourly earnings of fire fighters were $18.43 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $13.65 and $24.14. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $9.71, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $29.21. Median hourly earnings were $18.78 in local government, $17.34 in the Federal Government, and $14.94 in State government.\n\nMedian annual earnings of first-line supervisors/managers of fire fighting and prevention workers were $58,920 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $46,880 and $72,600. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $36,800, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $90,860. First-line supervisors/managers of fire fighting and prevention workers employed in local government earned about $60,800 a year.\n\nMedian annual earnings of fire inspectors and investigators were $46,340 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $36,030 and $58,260 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $28,420, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $71,490. Fire inspectors and investigators employed in local government earned about $48,020 a year.\n\nAccording to the International City-County Management Association, average salaries in 2004 for sworn full-time positions were as follows:\n\n  Minimum annual base salary Maximum annual base salary \n      \nFire chief $68,701 $89,928 \nDeputy chief 63,899 79,803 \nAssistant fire chief 57,860 73,713 \nBattalion chief 58,338 73,487 \nFire captain 49,108 59,374 \nFire lietenant 44,963 53,179 \nFire prevention/code inspector 43,297 54,712 \nEngineer 41,294 52,461 \n\nFire fighters who average more than a certain number of hours a week are required to be paid overtime. The hours threshold is determined by the department during the fire fighter’s work period, which ranges from 7 to 28 days. Fire fighters often earn overtime for working extra shifts to maintain minimum staffing levels or for special emergencies.\n\nFire fighters receive benefits that usually include medical and liability insurance, vacation and sick leave, and some paid holidays. Almost all fire departments provide protective clothing (helmets, boots, and coats) and breathing apparatus, and many also provide dress uniforms. Fire fighters generally are covered by pension plans, often providing retirement at half pay after 25 years of service or if the individual is disabled in the line of duty.


Have you heard about being able to use your computers during tests in school? I don't know where. But it some where.

I've never seen this, but I imagine it is like my professor who used to give us open book exams. We were even allowed to make up several pages of 'cheat sheets' to use during the test. It never helped. The tests were SO hard if you didn't KNOW the answers cold you would never have time to look them up.


I can give domains for USD 7.00 per year and webhosting 10mb USD 6.00 per year.

That’s means you can bring 200 visitors for less then Rs. 100/-


hes on the basketball team but he isnt one of those obnoxious jocks he is probably the nicest on the team. he just seems so incredibly nice and i never had a real boyfriend before but i think he is perfect for me.

well if u like him, go 4 it!!! since u say he's so nice, wat is there 4 u 2 worry about?? the worst that can happen is that he says something like "i dont kno u". just walk rite up 2 him and introduce urself! if u think that's "not ur thing", then go 2 one of his basketball games or something, then after the game, tell him what a great player he is!! that would be ur chance 2 introduce urself!!! u say he's perfect 4 u. well, if thats true, u have 2 c wat happens. but make the move first, especially if he doesnt know u!!!! id love 2 hear how it goes, u can email me if u want. i kno exactly how u feel, cuz the advice i just told u is wat i did, and now i have a great boyfriend who seems like the rite 1 4 me, just like urs. so go 4 it!!!! u never know wat'll happen 'til u try!!! good luck!


i really like this but sometime i act to scared to talk to hin and i dont if i should ask out

You need to get up early one morning, get yourself lookin' right, go in there with confidence, act like you dont NEED him to go with you, and ask him.  I have learned that confidence is very attractive to men.


so, what event would that be?  With the advancement of technoglogy surging in the past few years, I won't be suprise if time traveling will be possible in the very very near future!!  I just wanted to find out people's opinion.  So would you or would you not want to go back? \n\nLooking forward to hearing your replies.  Please no jokes.  Serious responses only.

No. Past experiences (good and bad) make us who we are. People need those experiences to grow from. They shape and mold who a person is.


They want him to spend the night 2-3 nights a week so the lady he is babysitting for can work a second job being a black jack dealer. She also has an unruly son that has anger problems. I think this will interfer with his school and sleep. What do u think? Open to all suggestions. I really am not cool with it.

Hi Caspersweetpea! Sean here (the guy you sent an MSN Messenger Live Beta invitation to but at the wrong address :). This situation invites a lot of problems. If that was my kid, I would tell her employer this is not good for my son since he is only 15. The kid your son is babysitting needs special care that only an adult can give specially with his anger problem. If something bad happens to the kid he is babysitting, your son will carry a lot of psychological burden for the rest of his life. If something bad happens to your kid, are you willing to take that risk?


My Dimension 4600 won't see my 120gb SATA hard drive I am trying to install. I currently have a 40gb Maxtor UMDA hard drive, but I am trying to install a 120gb Maxtor SATA hard drive so I can transfer the OS and all files to it from the 40gb Drive. Unfortunately though I have 2 on board SATA inputs my computer is not seeing the drive.  Any ideas would be great!

Make sure SATA is enabled in the BIOS.  Make sure that the jumper settings on your drives are all right.  Make sure that everything is powered correctly and connected securely.


this isnt for a job but for schol. i dont know wut should i put for objective. and should i put where i went to elemntry school and middle. or just high school

First of all, make sure you are spelling correctly. It is very important because it will be the first impression of the person reading it. The main parts of a resume are your name, address, and phone number or email, your work history with dates and job duties, educational background (nothing before high school), and references if necessary. You can state that references are available on request. I have seen a lot of resumes and they are all a little different. There are several good websites with free resume examples. Here is a link to get you started. http://www.collegegrad.com/jobsearch/3-3.shtml

I met this guy and i know he loves me but am not sure how i feel about him but i want my love for him to grow.advise

If you are not sure how you feel about him, how can you say you want your love, for him, to grow? First and foremost, you need to KNOW how you feel before you do anything at all. Let nature take its course.


hi i am eddie and i need help asking a girl out her name is carla i really really like her please help me\niam 12 and she is 12i never had gone out with a girl\nand please no bad things.

Simple. Works everytime if she is interested.\n\nGo up and introduce yourself and ask her if she would like to go out. Have an idea what you want to do. Like movies, dinner or hang gliding.


Ok i like this girl since the ninth grade. We started to talk for a little in the 10th and then broke up. Now here we are in the 12th grade my friends tell me she likes me but i just don't know what to say to her. Im not usually like this with other girls though. Any suggestions

u have to follow the Dale Carnegie rules\n\n1. u have to use her name -- don't just say "wut about da movies chik?" -- say "Yolanda (I have always liked that name did you know it means the queen of Norway) wut movie would YOU like to see wit me myself and I and why?"\n\n2. u have to learn what da gurl likez. CLUE CLUE CLUE do not ask her friendz they will LIE LIE LIE. instead casually scope out wut magazines OTHER girls are reading like when they are hanging out or ask a totally different girl. Then THIS IS SO HARD TO EVEN TYPE u have to go to a different neighborhood and secretly buy those magazines and read them. I saw Clint Eastwood do this man, so be a man and do it. \nRead all that girly stuff about advice and relationships. Then tear out a couples quiz and tell her your cousin in Seatlle mailed it to you and sit down and take it with her.\n\n4. Find out her birthday and OH THIS IS SO TOTALLY PAINFUL you have to buy the little astrology book at the grocery store checkout line (go to a store in another town man) and read it. Astrology is such a good way to open up, because you can say "Yolanda, we can NEVER be together because yo Virgo and I am LEO what say you wench?" Try to be like shakespearean and pose like an ACtor. Humor is good.\n\n6. Go to the DOLLAR store and buy silly silly stuff like  toy boats and say "Yolanda would you come play puddle boats wit me in the big puddle in the soccer field? I PROMISE I will hold the umbrella  tight!"\n\nSo you see it is all about RELAX and get where you can be stupid and silly and just hang out and all the rest is following - do you follow me? Do you? Send me a signal dude, this is YOUR happ;iness.

Discovery channel mentioned not once but many times that the break of the tactonic plates happened in the Indian ocean.  They also said that America could be the next country, after Somalia, to get hit with the same Tsunami.  How is it possible. We are nowhere close to the Indian ocean?\nI also know that before the Tsunami stops it circles the globe 9 times. But it looses the power that it has. When it first hit.

If tectonic plates move underwater it is possible to get a Tsunami (Means harbour Wave in Japanese) anywhere assuming the conditions are right.\nGenerally Tectonic plate shifts have to occur in the up/down motion (Regional uplift or subsidence) to cause a Tsunami. Once the underwater wave hits shallow water it will raise the sealevel due to the force of the underwater wave causing a Tsunami.\n\nThe West coast of the US would be at most risk from a Tsunami due to the Pacific rim being a hot bed of Tectonic  plate activity, in fact they already have a Pacific Tsunami early warning system (USGS).\n\nI am no expert but have seen countless documentaries and read books on the subject.


I know what makes a voice loud, that is caused by the force and how much air is escaping through the larynx. What I am wondering is what makes a voice carry? Because some voices are not loud but they can be heard from far away.

The angle that they project it. They project it to a farther place and then it carries.


why does earth have greater gravity than the moon

The amount of matter in an object is called its mass. The force of gravity is dependent on the amount of mass a body has. That means that the gravity on the Earth is greater than the gravity on the Moon, since the Earth has much more matter or mass than the Moon.


I heard that there's more than one solar system. Is it true? If possible, please name one other solar system besides "The Solar System."

Yes, other stars with orbiting planets have been discovered. One is Upsilon Andromedae.


I have 2 daughters and we would love to webcam all togther.  One big problem: One has WIN98SE and so far can't find a suitable webcam communication software that supports both WINXP and WIN98SE.

If you download the newest version of yahoo chat, Yahoo chat with voice, it has a feature called conferencing. You can all chat at once and view each others webcams in separate windows. The webcams also move faster when they are in super web cam mode, it is only available if you have high speed internet access.


i hate my parents a lot i dont want to live with them. i just feel like running away from them. they dont treat me as there daughter. just to show off i am there daughter. if my bro makes a mistake they would scold me.i mean my bro has cultivated bad habits( smoking & drinking) they cant scold him so they scold me. there r so many problems like this but i cant sayall those things . plz suggest wht to do?

I'm sorry all these things are happening. But, the answer to your question is: No, it's not good to hate your parents. It's also not good to treat a daughter as they have been treating her. \n\nWhat would be good in this case is for you and your parents to go to a family counseling service and get these issues out in the open. I hope they find out how you are feeling before too much more time passes. And, good luck to you.


this is a psychology question, i need it answered by tuesday.

Mind is Reconstructive:\nEvents are imperfectly remembered. Many events are not remembered at all. Some events are remembered initially but later gradually forgotten. \n\nA trigger (e.g. an article in a newspaper, a photograph of a friend etc) might bring back a recently forgotten memory. However, most events eventually become permanently lost and can never be retrieved. \n\nIt is impossible for the brain to store complete details of every event. It simply does not have the storage capacity to hold that amount of data. Rather, only a minimal amount of information is actually stored in the brain. \n\nWhen we recall a memory, our mind will automatically "flesh out" the recollection by inventing details of the event, based on previous similar experiences. This process is largely unconscious; we are not generally aware of it happening. \n\nOne interesting phenomenon can occur when the memory is being recalled as a result of questions by a therapist or interrogator. Their suggestive questions can distort this "fleshing out" process. The mind can add new components to the memory that are unrelated to the original event. Even more interestingly, these distortions will later re-enter the client's memory, and will probably emerge during subsequent recalls.


I'm doing a paper on this case for my Law and Society class and it's been extremely hard for me to find any information on this case. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks you

"Penry held that the applicaiton of the death penalty to persons who are metnally retarded but not legally insane does not violate the Eighth Amendment against cruel and unusual punishments."\n\nThis decision was later overturned by Atkins v.

If the last presidential election was held again today, who would you vote for?

Since the question only allows for either Bush or Kerry - I'd have to say Kerry.\n\nBush has proven that he disdains the trust of the American people and seems hell-bent on dismantling the civil rights fought for by our forefathers. We are slipping towards a police state without anyone applying the brakes. \n\nWe are being sold on the belief that we should give up our freedoms in order to be more secure. But it seems to me - when we give up personal freedoms for security - all we have done is just given up those freedoms. Security cannot be bought with the loss of civil rights.


I worked for the government during the reign of Reagan, and there were rumors of pictures of a young Reagan engaged in a homosexual act and that he was being blackmailed.

Ronald Reagan was never a Freemason.  He did recieve a certificate of commendation from the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, but they can't make anyone a Freemason.  \n\nThe last Freemason who was President was Brother Gerald Ford.


My boyfriend of a 1 1/2 years has this "friend" that lives in Poland. He used to live in Germany and had a sexual relationship with this girl while he was there and it continued on up until we got together.  I had been told that they were just friends and nothing more was wanted from either one of them. I just recently discovered that wasn't true. He flew her down here to see him right after we first started dating. Even though we weren't "exclusive", he told me he wasn't seeing anyone else.  They slept together during that time as well.  He was also sleeping with me! We broke up shortly after that for a few months and during that time he flew her out here again. Shortly after she went back home we got back together and have been together since. (1 yr)  He told me he stopped talking to her. I just found out that they've still been talking, she's actually in love with him, and she had been trying to convince him to dump me. He's NOW ended it with her. How do I trust him now? It hurts!!!

1) He lied to you more than once.\n\n2) He is stringing along two women.\n\nThere is an old saying that goes, \n\n"Fool me once, shame on you.\nFool me twice, shame on me."\n\nLove is hard, but it becomes even harder when sex clouds your judgement. Only you can really know what is best for you. If it were me, I would let him go. Obviously he needs to get something out of his system. WHile he is doing so though, he is also putting you at risk for a broken heart and possibly an STD. Perhaps he needs to see what life would be like without you. I would not exactly be sitting by the phone while he took the time to find out what he wanted out of life either. It is true, maybe now he is ready to change.

Thales (in Greek: Θαλής) of Miletus (ca. 635 BC-543 BC), also known as Thales the Milesian, was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Many regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition as well as the father of science.\n\nGeometry\nThales is credited with first popularizing geometry in ancient Greek culture, mainly that of spatial relationships. He is the first one who separated trigonometry as an independent branch of mathematics, to become one of the four basic "elements" of geometry. The other three elements of geometry are about the length, square and cube of an object.\n\nIn geometry, Thales' theorem (named after Thales of Miletus) states that if A, B and C are points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter of the circle, then the angle ABC is a right angle.\n\nWe use the following facts: the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to two right angles and that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.\n\nLet O be the center of the circle. Since OA = OB = OC, OAB and OBC are isosceles triangles, and by the equality of the base angles of an isosceles triangle, OBC = OCB and BAO = ABO. Let γ = BAO and δ = OBC.\n\nSince the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles, we have\n\n2γ + γ ′ = 180° \nand\n\n2δ + δ ′ = 180° \nWe also know that\n\nγ ′ + δ ′ = 180° \nAdding the first two equations and subtracting the third, we obtain\n\n2γ + γ ′ + 2δ + δ ′ − (γ ′ + δ ′) = 180° \nwhich, after cancelling γ ′ and δ ′, implies that\n\nγ + δ = 90° \n\nThe converse of Thales' theorem is also valid, which states that a right triangle's hypotenuse is a diameter of its circumcircle.\n\nThe theorem and its converse can be expressed as follows:\n\nThe center of the circumcircle of a triangle lies on one of the triangle's sides if and only if the triangle is a right triangle. \n\nProof of the converse\nThe proof utilises the fact that directional vectors of two lines form right angles if and only if the dot product is zero. Let there be a right angle ABC and circle M with AC as a diameter. Let M's center lie on the origin, for easier calculation. Then the dot product of AB and BC is\n\n(A − B) · (B − C) = (A − B) · (B + A) = |A|2 − |B|2 = 0. \nHence:\n\n|A| = |B|. \nA and B are also equidistant from the circle's center, hence M is the triangle's circumcenter.\n\nThe Theorems Attributed to Thales\n\nFive Euclidean theorems have been explicitly attributed to Thales, and the testimony is that Thales successfully applied two theorems to the solution of practical problems. \n\nThales did not formulate proofs in the formal sense. What Thales did was to put forward certain propositions which, it seems, he could have 'proven' by induction: he observed the similar results of his calculations: he showed by repeated experiment that his propositions and theorems were correct, and if none of his calculations resulted in contrary outcomes, he probably felt justified in accepting his results as proof. Thalean 'proof' was often really inductive demonstration. The process Thales used was the method of exhaustion. This seems to be the evidence from Proclus who declared that Thales 'attacked some problems in a general way and others more empirically'. \n\nDEFINITION I.17: A diameter of the circle is a straight line drawn through the centre and terminated in both directions by the circumference of the circle; and such a straight line also bisects the circle (Proclus, 124). > \n\nPROPOSITION I.5: In isosceles triangles the angles at the base are equal; and if the equal straight lines are produced further, the angles under the base will be equal (Proclus, 244). It seems that Thales discovered only the first part of this theorem for Proclus reported: We are indebted to old Thales for the discovery of this and many other theorems. For he, it is said, was the first to n

It used to be that I would just be up super late naturally. But lately, its progressed to full on insomnia. I cant sleep. Any suggestions?

If you can't fall asleep, try to reset your circadian rhythm.  Get some sunshine early in the morning and take a walk to get some exercise.  Then, at night, set up a routine for going to bed - sort of like training Pavlov's dog to salivate when the bell rang.  Perhaps - get dressed for bed, brush your teeth, turn on some quiet music, journal for 10 minutes, turn off the lights and get into bed.  The same thing every night, so when you start your evening ritual, your body knows it's time to start shutting down and going to sleep.


If someone is not your best friend anymore that means that either you or he/she or both have changed (assuming there is not a discussion that has made your relationship to grow apart).So if now you have different interests, or have that sharing time with other friends is more amusing, then try to feed those friendships. If you really feel like you still want this friend to be a very close friend, talk it out and see why youa re becoming distant from one the other. Sometimes friends dont keep in touch for a while, but usually they come back when they realize they feel comfortable around.


Preferrably a stretchy material. Not reflective as in safety wear but more like a mirror, like harem pants or stripper outfits would be made from.

There is a white strechy material called tree-co used in the entertainment industry that when a light hits it it glows and becomes illuminated.


i got an interview for a job i'm really excited about. i'm pretty nervous, can you offer some advice?

Read about interview adivces at monster.com


i'm in love with my boyfriend, i'm 15 years old and we are talking about geting married and having childeren, in the future.

I am glad you two found your love.  Remember that both of you should finish high school and complete at least two years of college.  This will help both of you have decent jobs and be able to support the family.\n\nUse protections and do not get pregnant until you are married.  If you have a child now, you will stop going to school and create a very hard life for both of you and the baby.\n\nIf you both love each other, work hard in school and college, so that you will have the money to support your family and be able to afford to do things together.\n\nBest of luck.

I think he is doing a great job better than Kerry would have done but honestly why does everyone hate him he's just acting on what he thinks should be done what's wrong with that?

Does ANYBODY notice that no matter WHAT a president does, the general public has a problem with it?  Bush is cleaning up the mess that Clinton started.  War with Iraq was imminent, meaning going to happen anyway.  Clinton, not having ANY military experience (He dodged the draft by going to Europe), wanted to stay away from war.  As far as the Katrina victims, they were told a week in advance to leave, that a Cat 5 hurricane would flood a city BUILT BELOW SEA LEVEL. Those who didn't leave are morons.  They got what they were stubborn enough to deserve.  Then they cry for help and shoot at the help?  I'm sorry, but a tv and nikes are not going to feed your family.  I feel he is doing all that ONE MAN can do.  You think all you complaining about everything is helping or making it easier?  1000 people died in Iraq...  In how long?  How long does it take 1000 people to die in America?  No one complains about that, now do they?


I want to install an anti-virus software(panda),but i'm told to uninstall my old program(symantic).Can i install it without remove my old program?

I assume you're using Windows. Using two anti-virus programs creates conflicts. For instance when you download a file both will try to scan it at the same time. The second program will cause an error because the file is already in use by the first program.\n\nOne top of that Windows now requires each anti-virus program to register with it so it can monitor weather it's enable or disabled. When there is two windows gets confused. \n\nPlus it uses up system resources. Just run on anti-virus application; keep it updated, run regular scans. \n\nI often uninstall one and install a differnt one just to make sure mine is doing it's job.\n\nI've included a link on this topic.


I just wanted to know what to expect when he first applies. Maybe how long it took anyone how to get their disability from their first time that they filed?

#1...persistence...never give up...\n#2 Documentation of problem...from the time it happened to present...gather all doctor's appointments and results of all tests...statement from doctor's that the disability was actually a service connected disability...also records from his military health records describing the problem...\n\nBoth are "most" important...if you have every record and medical info sheet that exists, then persistence is best.

My fiancee and I have been engaged for over a year now with no clear cut wedding date in sight. well yesterday i stepped up and picked out a wedding date for next year, him i would have been together for 3 years and engaged for 2 by that time. but when i told him this he started to act weird and get real quick and everytime i tried to talk about wedding plans he blew them off...so what does this mean? does he not want to marry me afterall? am i rushing things? i am so hurt and confused by this.

Find out how he feels.  Find a comfortable time for both of you to talk about your feelings.  If he is not interested in getting married, you will have to make a decision to wait for him (for years maybe) or find someone else.  My sister in law waited for 18 years before my brother proposed.  They got married in 9 months after the proposal.  Do you want to wait that long?


ok i was wondering if anybody knew where i could go on the internet to find out the amount of pollution in the air for the area that you live in. like a weather site? i am a runner for my high school and i really need to know of a site that tells me that info so i won't be hacking up my lungs and not be able to run.XD

Go to weather.com, where they have a pollution report.


I want to know what do others think about my country...

Let me begin by saying that my wife's cousin married an Iranian so I have nothing against anybody on an individual basis.  However, I take issue w/ the Iranian people for electing a rhetoric spewing, inflaming anti-semite for "President".  \n\nFurthermore, I cannot understand how the government of a country rich in petroleum oil would want to develop nuclear energy for "peaceful means" after announcing to the world that Israel should be "wiped off the map"?  This theocratic government w/ absolute power over its people needs to be "wiped off" from rule and its citizens re-educated on how to properly co-exist w/ the rest of the world in harmony.


One of the parents of my girlfriend just passed away recently. I stayed with her a few nights then headed back to my own place, I thought things were going well and she was coping pretty good. \n\nRecently I feel like things are really distant and that shes being short with me. It could be that Its finally really sinking in and shes all shook up but its got me going crazy too.\n\nDo I just keep my "just fare enough" distance and let her grieve and work her feelings out and hope for the best outcome, with things hitting some form of normallacy later? Or do I do something entirely differnt that I haven't thought of yet? Help, advice, experience from this situation is all appreciated.

Losing a close relative takes considerable time for the person to grieve and heal. Make sure she knows that you're there for her if she would like to talk, and call her or visit every so often ( twice a week sounds good ), just so she knows you're still her friend. Practice being a good listener, and never, ever tell her to "snap out of it." People grieve and heal at their own rates and cannot rush the process.

What situation is meant by the phrase:\n\nThe phone's been ring'n "off the hook"

On old-fashioned telephones, the receiver (the piece with the mouthpiece, later also the earpiece) rested on a hook-shaped switch when the phone was not in use.  When the hook was down, the phone was "hung up," ready to receive calls.  When the receiver was lifted, a spring lifted the hook so that the phone could be dialed and/or answered, considered "off-the-hook."\n\nThe phrase, which means that the phone has been ringing constantly, refers to the (tongue-in-cheek) notion that if the phone rings enough times, the receiver would vibrate off of the hook on its own.  In reality, this would almost never happen, due to the design of the phone, but it was just a saying.


One of my students came up to me this morning with tears in his eyes. He looked up at me and genuinely asked this.

Quitting doesn't make always make you a failure.  Sometime it is necessary to quite one course of action in order to continue with another.  Sometimes quitting can be a sign of strength.\n\nThe same can be said of failing.  If you try something and it doesn't work you failed, but your not a failure.  Nobody's perfect.  You can do everything right the first time.  The difference is a failure never tries again.


i need a definition and cant find it anywhere

Ad nauseam is a Latin term used to describe something that has been continuing "to the point of nausea." For example "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam": it has been discussed extensively and everyone has tired of it. It is a form of proof by assertion.


I thought it was October 30, 2012, but I have heard other dates.  Also, do you know where I can get one of those simple Mayan conversion charts?  Are there Mayan prophecies about the last day of the calendar?

I'm quite sure the last day of the Mayan calender is December 21, 2012.  This is the date of the alien invasion in X-Files canon.  You can find out more information by going to wikipedia.org and doing a search for '2012'.  However, it is more likely than not that the calendar 'ends' because this just happened to be the end of one of their large cycles, and not because they really thought the world was going to end at this time.

A platform that all candidates could run on and win with.

Yes! The democrats have to do something bold. There is no solid leadership in the party. Bush has given the democrats so many opportunities to capitalize on his failings, but all they do is whine. A bold, positive agenda for reform would be a fantastic way to get out of the doldrums the democratic party has been in these last few years. It seems all the democrats want to do is whine, but propose no real solutions. It turns people off to the democrats -- including me, and I am one. We need a positive action plan, not just criticism.

wondering since I hate wearing one every day

Necktie\nFrom Wikipedia\n\nA necktie (usually just called a tie) is a long piece of material worn around the neck and under a collar with a knot tied in front. The modern necktie's original name was the four-in-hand tie. The modern necktie, along with the ascot and the bow tie, are all descended from the cravat. They are mainly worn by men, though they are sometimes worn by women, either as fashionable dress wear or as part of a uniform.\n\nCravat\nA cravat is the neckband that was the forerunner of the modern tailored necktie. From the end of the 16th century, the term "band" applied to any long strip of cloth worn round the neck that was not a "ruff". The ruff itself had started its career in the earlier 16th century as a starched and pleated strip of white linen that could be freshly changed to keep the neck of a doublet from getting increasingly grimy, or for use as a bib or napkin. A "band" could indicate a plain, attached shirt collar or a detached "falling band" that draped over the doublet collar.\n\n \nNecktie fashions have changed over time. This 1818 pamphlet depicts various styles of tying a cravat.The modern form of the cravat originated in the 1630s. Like most male fashions between the 17th century and World War I, it had a military origin. During the reign of Louis XIII of France, Croatian mercenaries enlisted in a regiment that supported the King and Richelieu against the Duc de Guise and the Queen Mother, Marie de Medici. The traditional outfit of these Croats aroused curiosity in Paris on account of the unusual and picturesque scarves distinctively tied about their necks. The scarves were made of various cloths, ranging from coarse material for common soldiers, to fine linen and silk for officers. The word "cravat" comes from the French cravate, and many sources state that this is a corruption of "Croat" — Croatian "Hrvat". However there is evidence that the word was in use in France in the 14th century and in Italy in 16th century. In one of his ballads, the French writer Eustache Deschamps (c. 1340–1407), used the phrase "faites restraindre sa cravate" (pull his cravat tighter). Considering the interdependency of many European regions (particularly the French) with the Venetian Empire, and the fact that this empire at one time occupied the bulk of the Croatian coast, that type of cross-culturalization would not be unprecedented. Whatever the origin of the word the new form of dress became known as a cravate and the French were quite ready to give up the starched linen ruffs that they had been wearing and adopt the new fashion of loose cravates made of linen or muslin with broad edges of lace.\n\nOn his return to England from exile in 1660, Charles II brought with him this new word in fashion:\n\n"A cravatte is another kind of adornment for the neck being nothing else but a long towel put about the Collar, and so tyed before with a Bow Knott; this is the original of all such Wearings; but now by the Art and Inventions of the seamsters, there is so many new ways of making them, that it would be a task to name, much more to describe them". (Randle Holme, Academy of Armory and Blazon, 1688.) \nA gentleman's cravat would be made of fine lace. Grinling Gibbons the famous carver and sculptor, made a highly realistic one, carved out of a piece of white limewood.\n\nDuring the wars of Louis XIV of 1689–1697, the flowing cravat was replaced, except for court occasions, by the more current and equally military Steinkirk, named for the Battle of Flanders of 1692. The Steinkirk was a long narrow, plain or lightly trimmed neckcloth worn with military dress, wrapped just once about the neck in a loose knot, with a lace of fringed ends that were twisted together and tucked out of the way into the button-hole (of either a coat or a waistcoat) The steinkirk proved to be popular with both men and women until the 1720s.\n\nT

What are your three favorite Rush songs and why.

Something like a specific reason or opinion is fine.

As a neighbor he might not be a bad guy, I could see drinking a beer and watching a baseball game with him. However as a world leader he leaves quite a bit to be desired...the environmental problems have been mounting for years so the blame can't solely be his, my main beef with his 'regime' has been the fact that he condemns religious fanatasism (sp?) abroad and embraces it at home...


here are some of the letters:\n\nsupply:  V _ _ _ A _\n\nlicense:  _ I _ _ _ Z\n\nchance:  Z _ _ _ _ _\n\nmaybe that'll help...i think license is Lisenz or Licenz or something like that but it doesn't work on a translation site.  any help would be great!


my b/f is in some shit withj his father bcus 1 day he and his father went to the store and started arguing and his father threw a shopping cart at his bad knee and he punched his father in the face that was his reaction. another day which was new years day they seen each other but they didnt bother to tell each other happy new years to each other and now hes sayin that his father can kiss his ass but now hes sayin that he regrets sayin all that stuff to him bcus he forgot thathis father has a heart problem  shouldnt he apologize? bcus i tell him to stop sayin all those mean things to his father bcus he only has 1 but he dont wanna listen to nobody. but theres more he cusses out his grandmother but ill te;ll you about that 2morrow i have to go to cheerleading practice tryouts. peace babygirl

it's easy just to say the right thing to do is to apologize, which it is, but it's not that easy for someone with an abusive father like that. this all goes much deeper than any outsider looking in would see. so you can encourage him to say he's sorry, but as long as his Dad's not gonna change it may not do any good for their relationship. But deffinately encourage him to apologize. like you said, you only have one dad, and he could lose him at any time.


MINE IS LO QUE PASO PASO & ROMPE.\nI LUV DA BEAT & THE WAY HE SINGS IT.

I like Gasolina and Rompe. And he is soooo fine!!


(like the lost contiant antlis) it`s kinda like super breakout\n\nthanks,~*rashell*~


it is a big question for me that why if someone denies god didnot commite a crime but when he denies  holocaust he must go to jail .

"when he denies holocaust he must go to jail"\nCan you cite ANY examples of this? My heavens, you are much more likely to find yourself in hot water for criticizing the homosexual agenda in this country. The problem with Holocaust denial is twofold: one, factually speaking it's right up there with those who say the moon landing never occurred, and two, those who believe that in every case I have ever seen are racists of the most virulent sort. In the US, but biggest concentration of holocaust deniers can be found in universities. In Europe, it's the hoi poloi. Also, it can be found anywhere you find concentrations of Muslims. The head of Fatah wrote his dissertation on holocaust denial (he is a denier himself), the president of Iran has public questioned the Holocaust and called for the destruction of Israel. It is the talk amongst the conspiracy minded (that is almost all) in the middle east.


I need info on Surcan, an anti-oxident and electrolite formula....its reason for use, side effects and other helpful info....?...thanks

The nutrition2000 site makes it sound like surcan is good for side effects.\n\nSince the food and drug administration doesn't have it anywhere on their site, I don't know that it is an approved US drug.


they could run their own prision hard core offenders-with 2 life  sentences,serial killers etc-why should law-biding guards and other people have to pay for their care-sounds a little off the wall-would something like this work

The buildings of alacatraz are no longer sound. They are crumbling and no longer secure.


What is the best workout for abs for men?

For the best results you should incorporate cardiovascular exercise with weight training and abdominal work. Exercising aerobically burns fat and calories, and decreases the amount of fat that lies over the abdominal muscles. Many times people do hundreds of sit-ups and never see a change in their bellies – that’s because unless you reduce the fat that covers the muscles, you can’t see the definition underneath. Excellent choices for aerobic workouts are swimming, interval training, and speed walking. You should ideally work out four to five times during the week. Strength training is also important because you need strong muscles in order to power your aerobic training. Additionally muscle burns more calories than fat and takes up less space, too. The final part of your program is the abdominal work itself. Traditional sit-ups are fine but try moves with a twist for an extra boost in metabolism. Pilate’s moves are great for tightening abdominal muscles as is belly dancing. There are a variety of moves and routines you can incorporate into your schedule to move you closer to your ultimate goal of six-pack abs.\n\nDetailed article on building abs: http://www.newagey.com/physical-fitness/six-pack-abs-without-supplements/
