i mean what is the first impression they create in ur mind..India as a country and Indians as its citizens..???

by indians do you mean arabs or just the people from india if your talking about people from india then i think indian women at least the ones in america that i have come in contact with everyday are some of the most beautiful women i have ever seen in my life.and as far as the countrie goes i really dont know that much but they are people just like me and i will never judge someone i dont know and also who cares what stupid people think,if someone just see's you as a gas station attendant over here in america than thats their loss not yours.and as far as the arabs go they or at least some of them need to live in america first before they go off at the mouth spitting hatred for america.and i would never go to the middle east without a gun,because things are crazy over there with all the islamic extremist over there.notice i did not say muslims,i just said the extremist.and the mental picture in my mind is someone from a different place than me that is wise and can teach me about the world,but i look at everyone the same.its just naturall to me to acept that we are all human no better no worse than any other.


I saw some bright light in Egypt and I don't know what it is. It is faster than any airplanes. It just flew fast.

I saw one about 10 feet over my house, so yes


Im just curious, I know where i stand, but where do you all stand?

I believe Bush should be impeached immediately. You want to know why I think that? Watch this film on 9-11:\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nAnd then write your congressman and tell him you want Bush impeached! Everyone must do this or it will never happen and he will get away with god-only-knows how many other crimes.\n\n\nPeace

She already allowed $100 dollar decrease in my rent last month and stated that we would discuss the other difference when the bill came in.I told her that I would "eat" $100 of it, but now she is refusing to pay the other $200 stating that dec was the coldest month of the winter. Do I have basis to take her to small claims?

There is no way to go back and measure how much gas was used in the screw-up, so there is no way to figure out her liability.  A judge might go 50/50.

Also, any children's books on this topic would be helpful!

Curious George would be good books for this topic. They have many books from a fireman to construction worker. \nYou could always talk with the local fire department and see if they would bring a firetruck for the kids to see and explore. Also try the police department about bringing a police car or even a police dog. Take a tour of the school visit the principal, secretary, v.principal, cafeteria cooks, the custodians, the librarian, and see if the school can have a bus driver come in. I think the tour of the school is a great idea(they do this in my son's class), this is a good way for the children to get to know their school and also be subjected to many jobs. After the tour my son's class had to write about their favorite job(with help of course), or if they were unable to write they colored pictures of bus drivers or painted pictures of the different jobs.


The station that I listen to, has a short jingle that I want to save.

you can get a program called Asolute Recorder - it will record off your pc and save as mp3 or wav file.  There should be a free version available, you can do a search for it.


i have been on alot a pills due to 2 hurt wrists but now nothing is working and i think i need to just stop takeing everything and wait tell it is out of my system i wanted to know if stuff like golden seal or something like will help it go faster

Oh, it isn't easy.  Drink a lot of water, exercise, & get plenty of rest. Talk to your doctor if you need. I was addicted to prescription drugs and it is rough getting off.  Sometimes getting a different prescription for a week or so will help...but just temporary!  Will power and inner strength...you can do it!

Refiner of Silver!!\n \nSubject: Malachi 3:3\n \n\nMalachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."\n \nThis verse puzzled some women in a Bible study And they wondered what\nthis statement meant About the character and nature of God.\n \nOne of the women offered to find out the Process of refining silver and\nget back to the Group at their next Bible Study.\n \nThat week, the woman called a silversmith and Made an appointment to\nwatch him at work. She didn't Mention anything about the reason for her\ninterest Beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.\n \nAs she watched the silversmith, he held a Piece of silver over the fire\nand Let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, One needed to\nhold the silver in the middle of the Fire where the flames were hottest\nas! to burn away all The impurities.\n \nThe woman thought about God holding us in Such a hot spot; then she\nthought again About the verse that says:\n \n"He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."\n \nShe asked the silversmith if it was true that He had to sit there in\nfront of the fire the Whole time the silver was being refined. The man\nAnswered that yes, he not only had to sit there Holding the silver, but\nhe had to keep his eyes on the Silver the entire time it was in the\nfire. If the Silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it Would\nbe destroyed.\n \nThe woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the Silversmith, "How\ndo you know when the silver is fully refined?"\n \n\nHe smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image \nin it"\n \nIf today you are feeling the heat of the fire, Re! member that God has \nhis eye on you and will keep Watching you until He sees His image in\nyou.\n \nPass this on right now. This very moment, someone Needs to know that God\n\nis watching over them.\n \nAnd, whatever they're going through, They'll be a better person in the\nend.\n \n"Life is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but You can only \nspend it once."

All I can say is: THANK YOU for the inspiration! I need to be reminded that life is not meant to be a picnic. It is for the purpose of testing and trial, to grow towards the "be ye therefore perfect" that comes so slowly. You can't sympathize with others' trials if you've never suffered yourself.

Soon, with quantum computers, we will be able to create virtual reality so real that you will not be able to tell that it is virtual reality. So maybe when we do, the whole world will be in a new level of reality. So could we possibly be in virtual reality right now?

Yes, we are. That is what the senses are. There are no real things out there, there are just clouds of possibilities. Quantum physicists are finding out the universe is much more complicated and unbelievable than once thought. Our perceptions actually modify reality.. that means there could be a universe out there for every potential choice we make in our lives... it's a mind boggling concept, but people are realizing theres more to this world than meets the eye, so to speak.


In general u wont see a girl hanging out with a guy shorter than her.Unfortunete that at first sight wht impresses a girl is the height and look of a guy...so it doesn`t matter whether the guy is good or not.The girl is impressed with his outlook..not the real he.Even if a guy manages somehow to gain the faith of a girl who is taller than him...the question arises..whether he`ll be able to satisfy her only with his heart..


i heard it on sister sister Tamera dances with jordan to it he is singing with a girl i really like this song please help me find it

yes there is. its called slow jam. its #4 on his "my way" cd. duet with monica


When I was single, I never got many dates. Now that I'm married and wearing a ring, many women hit on me. Two women have even propositioned me for sex. I'm no better looking or richer now, but its unbelievable how much (unwanted) female attention I'm getting. I'll always be faithful, but I'm curious why women are so attracted to a married guy.

Its because women dont see a married man as off limits, they see him as a challenge.  A women would so call "take" a off limits man in a heart beat for the satisfaction that they won.  Women are down right disrespectful to eachother.  Its sick.

I work for a non-profit that is tax exempt. I'm trying to figure out if we have to pay tax on two water coolers we purchased.

Are you state/local tax exempt or are you federal tax exempt?  If you're only federal exempt then you might have to pay the sales tax.  Sales tax is typically a state level or local thing.


How Can ont stop a cheat in an online game?\nWhat if he or shes comes back with a better cheat?\nWhat if she or he comes back with a trainer for the game?\nHow can you stop he or she from entering your server in a game without banning this from the game?\nWhat do cheaters get from cheating all the time?\nDo they get money or do they get gold or maybe a new car, what do they get from cheating?

people usually think that i'm a A)snob B)dumb (as in they tell me to just smile and be 'cute'!!! how insulting!) the truth is, i'm just quiet and shy... what can i do to overcome this?

omg I'm quiet and shy too! People think I'm a snob and that I think I'm too good for them. One of the reasons they do that is because I dont smile. I know its hard, people tell shy people to just go up and talk to someone but its not that easy. I would try talking more to your friends (that would help you not to be as quiet and show people that you can talk to other people as well) thats what I am working on now. Good Luck!

what contributes to indiscipline in schools

I would have to contribute this partly to the parents.  These days, parents are not as involved in their children's education as they once were.  Also, there is a growing number of parents who condone WHATEVER it is that their child is doing (even if it is the wrong thing).  The parents will always come to the child's defense and blame everyone else.  Additionally, there is a lack of discipline in the homes because parents are afraid to firmly (spanking) discipline their children because of legal retort.  And last, I will have to say that the government is doing very little to support educators (teachers and instructors).


Been having some pain in my rectual area as well, although not as much.  Sounds like colon cancer but I'm not sure. If it is it must be advanced.  I'm 29 yrs old, at this point if it is colon cancer...do I have realistic chance of beating it?  Please Help!

SEE A DOCTOR! And yes I was shouting!  This not the place to ask serious medical questions.  Take care.


I heard it's when you don't hit the ball past the lady's tee, you have to play the rest of the round with your 'dick out'. Anyone else out there hear of this?

Yes.  If you don't hit your drive past the womens tee you have to "prove your manhood".


i am getting over 50 spams a day is there a way to stop this so i dont have to delete them all the time.

Yes I do.  I have it set on high. The ones that do get through go to my bulk mail and stay there for a week and then are automatically deleted.  That gives me time to look themover and see if I want any of them.  I can set it to delete them automatically without looking at them.


I don't know...  Opinions always change! :o(

If the baby seal wiggles too much, it is kind of difficult to get the skin off without poking a whole in it. They bop then on the head first. Whether that only knocks them out our kills them, I do not know for sure. Anyway it makes them hold still while they are relieved of their skin, so nice rich women can have a nice seal skin coat.


Without God's Law, there is no Grace to Save - it is His lifestyle instructions which convict His people that they are sinful & cannot save themselves (i.e. we all deserve damnation) - we need the free gift of God's Salvation. His faithful believers seek to do His will "on earth as it is in heaven." Those who ignore His Law, those who rebel against His Law, those who ~try~ to make changes to His Law, those who look for shortcuts & loopholes in His Law... are lost - they have chosen "Graceless" paths to follow.\n\nWe can't follow His law perfectly - if we could, we could qualify ourselves for acceptance into heaven; those who love God & love His Law faithfully will be imputed with the Righteousness of the Son of God, perfected, and will receive the unmerited "Pass Damnation" into eternal life in Paradise with the Creator of the Universe.\n\nHallelujah!

It makes sense, but what about the Old Testament times when there was no Grace (in the sense of Christ)?\n\nThose people couldn't follow His law perfectly, either. The Old Testament speaks of those who were considered righteous by God because they believed. Not necessarily because they did the right things all the time. Look at David - he broke every one of the 10 Commandments! Saving grace wasn't part of the equation then - at least not the way we understand it from the Gospels. \n\nBut since God still loved the righteous (believers), I suppose you could consider that Grace. It becomes a matter of semantics. It just makes me wonder why - if He intended to provide saving grace from His law - He couldn't have just explained the gospel of grace to those people?


Am a female aged 26. Last year my mum was diagonised with cancer. we have no money for proper treatment.Am doing my masters degree with the little money i had saved in my vac.\nGetting this masters means a good job and good money to look after my family. We are too poor without a home but just renting. what can i do? No father and no one to give us a hand. please advice

I think you need to continue with school for your future.  I'm sure your mother would agree with that.  As for no money for treatment, etc., check for social agencies, hospices, churches, support groups (check with the hospital oncology department), etc. to see if they can help.  Sorry for your situation and may God bless and comfort you and your mother during this difficult time.


From watching the latest interviews about the next upcoming film, Harrison Ford is getting kinda elderly to be playing in another Jones movie, you be the judge.

Yep. looks for the release in 07. \n\nGeorge Lucas confirmed in April 2005 at the Star Wars Celebration III that he is in the process of finishing the script for the film.\n\nThis film will be the final film in the series, as Lucas stated in the May 2005 issue of Time magazine that he doesn't plan to make any more Indiana Jones films after this one. Steven Spielberg has stated that, in addition to the regular theatrical run, Lucas intends to release Indiana Jones IV in 3D simultaneously.\n\nAs for being too old, I don’t know. I guess that depends on the script. Besides, He isn't as old as Sean Connery was when he as in the last film and he did a great job.\n\nAge is all in the mind.

LET ME KNOW...NOW...MUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!WHAT'S HIS EMAIL IS WHAT I MEAN...MUWHAHAHAHAHA


Ex boyfriend is being weird.  He flirts constantly, brings up our past relationships and when i was sitting close to him today he was taking pictures of me and only me with his camera on his phone.  I said something about it and he got rather defensive.  What does that mean,  and what should i do????

Just ignore him.  He is being childish and playing games with you.  If he wants something from you then he needs to be man enough to come right out and talk to you.  If he can't then he isn't worth your time.

have had braces for about 1 year and almost every time i go to the orthodontist they say i need to brush my teeth better.

You really need to make sure you are brushing your teeth properly while you have braces.  Take your time while you are brushing your teeth and make sure you don't miss any areas.  Also, in addition to brushing... make sure you are flossing at least once a day by using a floss threader.

"A generation is often defined by its times. People who came of age during World War II are often called the 'Greatest Generation' because of the sacrifices they made to win the war. Those born during the period of high birthrates after World War II are often called 'Baby Boomers'. The prosperous 1990s saw the rise of 'Generation X'. What characteristics define Generation X? And explain why Generation X is unique."

no generation can be defined until that generation is old enough to define itself.  The "Greatest Generation" childern named that themselves after looking back and seeing what they achieved, likewise with the "babyboomers."  However, Generation X is still too young to see were they are and what they will achieve.  All born in 1990s are 16 or younger and cannot yet see what will bc/m of themselves.  Until then the generation will go unnamed, hence the X


i got bitchy friend, we used 2 b gr8 last year but ever since we made more friends she is so mean she keeps callin me stupid, tool, useless etc. and keeps hitting me, in the start she always bitched about the other girls who i get on gr8 with, the situation is really stressin me out big time, im physically sick and hav failed my music junior practical, i want to say something but am afraid of confrontation, sounds stupid i know...

Don't be afraid of confrontation. Just tell her that you don't appreciate how she b*tches about everything. In fact, tell those girls what she says about then and you can all confront her at the same time.

Find '' network.http.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n2. Find '' network.http.proxy.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n3. Find '' network.http.pipelining.maxrequests'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to 20.\n4. Find '' browser.turbo.enabled'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n5. Find '' network.dns.disableIPv6'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n6. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''nglayout.initialpaint.delay'' Then set its value to 0.\n7. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''browser.cache.memory.capacity'' and set a value that suits you for a cache size for this browser, I do reccomend setting a lower amount than 50mb as this will increase computer performance.E.g 16mb ( 16000). <- keep this higher  if you want to concentrate on browser performance.


This is a serious question.  Think about it for a minute.  Are people in your life laughing with you, at you or just plain near you?  Because let me tell ya something...not everyone can be a wit, just like not all people have good taste.  So be honest with yourself and share with us, are you a wit, or are you witless?\n\nFYI...I'm a nefarious and narcissitic wit.   :-)

I had to sit on the witless stand in a courtroom once. Does that count? \n\n(now you tell ME...did you laugh with me or at me or neat me? I rest my case. Which is exactly what the prosecuter said when he saw me on the stand)


There is this guy that I think I am going to end up with. He loves me and I love him... and he really cares about me. The thing is I am very insecure about myself... and I'm afraid to let him know that I have panik attacks. I can usually control them, but sometimes I have to take medication to calm them down. I'm a really normal person.. I've just been "blessed" with these horrible attacks. Do you think that if I tell him, he will understand? I want to be with him.. but I don't want him thinking I'm strange because of this. It's really been bothering me.. and I will tell him... soon.. just not yet. I'm not ready. I know this seems like a silly question.. but do people view you as mental if you have panik attacks?

They absolutely do NOT "view you as a mental if you have panic attacks."  If you think you are going to end up with him, then by all means tell him.  I would be willing to bet you that he will understand and probably look out for you. :)  Don't be afraid. By the way, being afraid of telling him this will probably cause you to have a panic attack!  Go with the fear, fear is NOTHING. only what you make it.  Good luck to you.


I can't help it I gotta drive 40 miles to get there!

Yes, but it depends on the teacher. I would be careful about that. When I was going to school there were these two guys that would show up about 15 minutes late everyday and my teacher at first didn't say anything until one day he asked them "why are you two late to my class everyday" they shrugged their shoulders like they didn't know and all of a sudden my teacher screamed "get the hell out of my class!". That was funny but I sure wouldn't want to be in there shoes. I would try to make it on time.

stop getting high off glue and acid and the dream should leave


If you haven't heard, a Colorado high school geography teacher named Jay Bennish was recently suspended for comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler and has been all over the news about it.  \n\nI would like to know what everyone thinks about him teaching such a topic to the students.  I would like opinions from both Bush supports and non-supports alike, and I promise to keep an open-mind about it even though most would call me a non-support.  I just want to know what people think of him teaching it to a high school class.  \n\nHere's the link if you want more info: \nhttp://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?g=171e1b99-c974-4a26-acad-a3f88dc107f1&f=00\n\n(Please don't give your personal opinions of how Bush may or may not be similiar to Hitler.  That is not my question.)

No, abosultely not. The classroom is not an individual's political platform. If a teacher wants to express his or her opinion, he should think twice about the consequences, and carefully explain that it's just that, opinion. The honorable thing to do might be to say that "there are a lot of people with a lot of strong opinions about Bush" and leave it at that. It might be worthwhile to present a balanced picture of the "for" and "against" camps, or even have a moderated classroom debate about it, but preaching and using inflammatory rhetoric is beyond the pale, in my book.


is it because there is too much blood rushing to the brain?

I have been told that when you get upset or nervous more blood does go tot he brain and cause the areas to swell with all that extra blood and it causes pressure in the brain and pushes on the nerves and gives you a headache\n\nso try to calm yourself down and relax, put a clod compress on your forehead and neck and relax.\n\ngood luck\nI hope this helps


I AM HAVING A COUPLES NIGHT AND NEED SOME HELP COMING UP WITH QUESTIONS FOR THE NEWLYWED GAME. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Since I used to watch this show for a few years, I'm aware of the types of questions that will really make for an interesting night, plus teach something to the couples.\n\nWhat was the day that you first met each other?\nWhat is your favorite dessert? Veggie? Drink? Meat? \nWhere was your wife's/husband's mom born? Dad?\nWhat kind of socks does your hubby wear? Underwear? \nWhat kind of car did your hubby/wife first own?\nIf you could live anywhere, where would it be?\nHow many children are you planning on having?\nWhat kind of laundry detergent is used at your home?\nDo you still have any reminders of past relationships?\nWhat is your wife's favorite flower? Perfume?\nWhat is the color of the carpet in your bedroom?\nWhich drawer does your spouse put their underwear in?\nWhere was your spouse born? Raised? Schools?\nWhen was the last time the sheets on your bed were changed?\nHow much does your spouse weigh? How tall?\n\nI'm sure you can come up with more on your own, just using the ones suggested. Just remember that the questions are doing several purposes. To have fun, to be entertained, to learn about your friends and to realize you don't know everything, and probably never will. Hopefully, your couples will be light-hearted through it all and not get overly upset about their answers. Hope you all have a great time. <*)))><

treatment of cervical cancer removal of the ovaries at age 25 after chemoradiation therapy

I suggest having a talk with a few doctors about this.  It is always good to get a second and sometimes a third opinion regarding matters such as these.  I don't know much about cancer, but I feel for you having such a large decision to make at such a young age.  DO the research on survival rates after both types of surgery, talk to a few doctors, and go with your gut decision.  Good luck.

President Bush is supposedly well educated,reasonably intelligent,and the leader of the greatest and most powerful country on the planet.\nEvery time I hear him use the word "NUKULAR",it makes me want to scream and throw myself off of the Statue of Liberty!\nWhat is the deal?!\nDoes he not know that he is wrong?!\nWill no one in his administration,the press corp,or anyone else in the world tell him that he makes himself sound like a complete idiot every single time he says this in public?!\nIt makes me wonder how he spells it when he is made to write it down.\nIt just goes on and on.I keep expecting to hear the word used correctly every time I hear him speak.I think to myself;\n"Surely someone has said something to him in the last few days".\nIt never comes.It's maddening!\nSo,what do you guys think? Should we all send messages to the White House telling the emperor about his new wardrobe,or am I the only one affected?

I thought you left, you devil.\n\nWhat is it that you do?


Does laxative pills help in dieting?  Meaning, does it help clean out your system to get rid of all the 'junk'?

Laxatives are used to treat constipation-the passage of small amounts of hard, dry stools, usually fewer than three times a week.  They do not help you lose weight.


When little kids let go of their ballons outside and they fly up up up. When the helium finally runs out where does the ballon go? Would it fall back down? Why do we not see deflated ballons falling? How high do they get before falling?

More than likely the ballon will rise until the air pressure is so low that the ballon pops.  I think the reason we don't see the ballons on the ground is that there just arent enough released to show up easily.  Just a guess.


Its ruining my life. My boyfriend is going to start resenting me because his schedule has to revolve around taking me to work, to the store or wherever I need to go. I'm not sure where this fear came from...\nI'm only 22... no drivers license and have only driven a handful of times. I wasn't bad at it... but I'm still terrified and the thought of driving sends my stress level through the roof. I need to drive! How can I get over this?? \nI don't think its the fear of hurting myself or others I honestly think its the fear of screwing up and being embarassed.

What you are describing sounds like a driving phobia. You can try and do what other people her are suggesting: practice. If you are going to take this problem on without professional help, let me suggest you do this gradually and not all at once. First, begin driving in low traffic situations. Note your anxiety at the beginning of the practice time (rate it 0-100). Then practice until you reach at least 50% less anxiety. Slow increase the intensity of the driving situation, and each time keep driving in that situation until you have at least a 50% decrease in anxiety. Once you have reached the most anxiety provoking driving situation try to continuously drive in that situation until you feel little anxiety (maybe a rating of 15 or 20). The continue to practice. The more you avoid this problem the greater it will become. If you can't do this on your own, you need to find a psychologist does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Though stress management and exposure therapy, you'll over come this problem. CBT is a time limited therapy and will directly address this problem (as opposed to exploring your childhood). If you need to find a psychologist search the websites below.


One summer, a plant with red flowers was crossed with the same kind of plant that had white flowers. the seeds were collected and planted the next summer; 110 plants had red flowers and 135 had white flowers.  Give an explanation for each summer's results reguarding flower color

You need another generation to figure much out.  The ratio there is about 50:50.  What I'd assume is that you're looking at one plant being homozygous for a recessive gene (aa) and another that is heterozygous for the dominant gene (Aa).  You can't know what color causes which gene from first principles, but the 50/50 split suggests this aa/Aa.  The punnett square for that cross would give half aa and half Aa.  Those with one copy of the dominant phenotype will express the dominant phenotype, and those with the double recessive will express the recessive trait.  It is the same genotype in the plants of a given color in each summer.\n\nSince the likely cause is that the recessive gene is one that fails to make the red pigment, the odds are that white is recessive and red is dominant, but from first principles, you can't know that.  What I'd suggest was necessary is to then do two sets of crosses, independent of one another, using the plants from the second generation.  In one, cross two white plants, and in the other, cross two red plants.  If white is recessive and red dominant, we'd expect the white/white crosses to yield 100% white flowers, while the red/red crosses should yield a quarter of the plants white and 3/4 red.  If red is recessive, then we should see the white/white cross giving 3/4 white and 1/4 red, while the red/red cross should give 100% red flowers.


Just became a diabetic, was caused by my weight, only been diabetic now for 2 months, before then my sugar count was normal. Doctors say that when I had my surgery on my hernia, the anestetics could have triggered it. In any case Im a diabetic now. Help me find recipes.PLEASE

I am curious as to why you are resistent to seeing a registered dietician? I know that it can be a bit expensive but this IS your health. I have my MSc in Human Health and Nutrition and would very HIGHLY recommend dieticians because they can help you manage your diabetes and have the most reputable cookbooks and resources.\n\nIf that fails, try looking up websites for various diabetes societies and check out their resource pages for cookbook suggestions. Here is a good link to many Diabetes Organizations:\nhttp://www.diabetes.ca/Section_Main/links.asp\n\nOr try Amazon.com for some great cookbooks:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764552309/102-9168389-2086538?v=glance&n=283155\n\nGood luck and take care!

and told the soldier's relatives that the soldier deserved to die?? \n\nThat's an outrage! The Basptist people claimed that the soldiers died to protect a 'pervert nation' because we allow homosexuality. They showed up with signs and everything! (Signs that said 'God hates fags' and stuff like that)\n\nThey yelled that the soldier wasn't a hero. I think that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

They aren't Baptists, they're their own little Christian cult, mostly made up of the children and relatives of a serious nutjob named Fred Phelps. He's been doing this shit for well over a decade.

i need to make a song into an instrumental? HOW?

Vocal removal is a very inexact science.  It is very difficult to completely remove vocals from a song. However, with many songs, and the latest technology, it is possible to do a decent job when it comes to removing vocals from a recording.


There have been a lot of askers and answerers on here describing themselves as "spiritual" but not "religious".  For those who do so, what do the words mean to you?  Do you believe in intelligent creation, and/or the existence of a supreme being (or beings)?  Do you believe in an afterlife?  What form does that take?  Do you believe in a set of universal ethics?\n\nIs the only difference between spiritualism and religion that spiritualism does not necessarily mean subscribing to an organised religion?  If so, what practical impact does your faith have on your everyday life?

Since I fit into the category of non-religious, but feel I'm more spiritual, I'll describe my feelings on it. The words to me mean that Spirituality has substance to me, but religion tends to put people against each other, always each person trying to be "Right'...it divides, doesn't unite people, in my opinion.I do believe in intelligent creation, that God created everything. God is the supreme being. I believe in the afterlife, definitely...but in the sense that we were all put here to learn to be more Christ like, and we will be judged by God someday, and those who didn't do better with what they knew at the time, will be given another opportunity to learn God's way...They won't go immediately to the so called "Hell!" God is a loving God, and wants us all to share eternity with God!\nAs for universal ethics, if you mean the Golden rule or the 10 Commandments, or just a right way of living. live and let live, etc...YES!\nThere may be more to Spirituality  being different than religion, in that I do not subscribe to an organized religion. I feel that the greatest difference for me is that I have felt the presence of God's spirit and closeness to Christ, more so, than any religion I was ever in. \nThe practical impact that my faith has on my everyday life, is that I've learned that allowing God and Jesus (to take the wheel, as it's been said) to be to be in charge of what I do, and how I think and pray, and how I learn from my experiences, and many other applications, influences the outcomes and perspectives of the kind of person I've become.\nSuch an interesting and well though out question!


My mind is always thinking about something.Some times,you know kind of zone out..why it is happening

It could be anything from stress to lack of sleep to depression to ADHA to bipolar disorder. It could even be because you're bored. The point is--if you're worried enough about it to ask it aloud, go ahead and talk to your doctor. Like one answerer said, you may be able to fix your problem with some meditation. OR, you could need medication. It's something you should seek professional help about though, because it's obviously bothering you! Good luck!


My boyfriend is a nice sweet guy, & like everytime somebody talks bad about me & or if a guy says that he wants to sleep w/ me he gets mad at the people that talks bad about me & etc. He's a real good country boy he used to coon hunt & he loves to fish

How does what you just said have anything to do with him cheating? You gave no evidence nor suspicion if he had even a fleeting chance of him cheating on you. People can be very busy in college, probably depends on which one he is going to and if he is a hard worker or a party kinda guy.


My son is mental retarded (mild)the transit bus company where we live said he can not have a discount bus fare because, as one lady put he you can walk to catch the bus. Or because he does not look like he is. So they say he has to pay the full fare.  Now the vehicle code to my question is P.U.C.99206.5 This is what it says. any individual who by reason of illness, injury, age, congenital malfunction, or othe permanent or temporary incapacity or disability, including but not limited to, any individual confined to a wheelchair, is unable, without special facilities or special planning or design, to utilize public transportation facilities and services as effectively as a person who is not so affected. Now am I wrong in think my son should beable to receive the discount fare? My son also get SSI. Thank you

I think he should get a discount for sure..what is happening to this world....retardation is a handicap mild or not...fight for this so they don't think they can get away with this....if we keep doing nothing about these kinda things what will become of this world?

My aunt is addicted to prescription drugs and has been for a while.  She also has an eating disorder.  She only drinks water and never eats.  She is also addicted to smoking.  She takes pain killers and morophene patches constantly.  She doesn't even need them but one doctor she goes to continues to prescribe them.  He even knows whats going on.  She gets so high on the pain killers sometimes she passes out in bed with a cigerette lit and she has almost burnt herself up multiple times.  She gets so bad she can't walk or talk she is so high on them.  She don't even know where she is and what day it is.  I have suggested to my other aunts that we should do something but they say that the only person that can do anything about it is her son and husband (that is is seperated from).  Her son is an alcoholic and doesn't care and her husband would never say anything about what she is doing.  I fear I am the only one that can help.  Is there anything I can do to help her?

Your aunt sounds like what I use to be and I will tell you this much untill she is ready to change she will not. I didnt change until I got pregnant. I break-up split my heart and soul down the middle. I still am not the same person i was before the break up. I had eating disorder and was addicted to pain pills AND SLEEPING pills. So, I guess one thing that you could do is present to her all the things that she has to lose by doing these drugs, you being one of those things. You know you will always be there for her but it never hurts to put a little fright in someone and make them think you wont. DONT LET HER CALL YOUR BLUFF.. Dont show her that you will always be there for her other wise she will always be who she is untill something happenes to change her life and by then it may be to late.

when u fall in love, do you just decide to feel this for that person and stop when ever you want to or is this a feeling that comes within inside that u just have no saying at

It comes from inside with no warning. You can not just tell your self to love a person. It doesn't work that way


On a Beretta 92F Handgun, there are two cocking positions for the hammer. When the slide is retracted all the way and the gun is cocked, the hammer goes into the far back position. I'd like to know what the 1st position is for.

I THINK I AM ANSWERING THIS RIGHT . WITH THE HAMMER ALL THE WAY DOWN AND PULL BACK THE HAMMER TO THE FIRST CLICK IT IS A SAFETY POSITION TO KEEP THE HAMMER OFF OF THE FIRING PIN, PULL THE HAMMER ALL THE WAY BACK AND IT IS IN THE FIRING POSITION. IF YOU PULL THE SLIDE BACK TO PUT A ROUND INTO THE CHAMBER THE HAMMER WILL STAY ALL OF THE WAY BACK, WHEN YOU USE THE DECOCKING LEAVER ON THE SIDE OF THE 92 THE HAMMER WILL COME DOWN TO THE FIRST POSITION...


Theres enough equity in the house to be able to live for at least 5 years at a comfortable level. I would be able live my dream of going to college, attend classes fulltime, concentrate on aviation school and get my degree within 2 years. I would graduate with a commercial pilots license but am uncertain as to what my salary or job prospects would be. I live in a hot housing market where I can no longer afford to buy a house thus my question.

You definitely need to get more information.  You say that you'll finish the degree in 2 years.  Will this be an associate's or bachelor's degree?  (The airlines are preferring the bachelor's.)  You say that you'll finish with a Commercial certificate; how many hours will you have at that point?  If you have minimum hours, just about the only available job will be as a flight instructor.  Generally, you can't make enough as an instructor to live on.  How far have you gone with aviation already?  Do you know you'll like it?  Do you know you'll qualify medically?  You wouldn't want to make big changes only to find out you also didn't like the new situation, or that you couldn't follow through.\n\nYour question makes sense, but the details definitely reveal that you shouldn't make the decision without getting more information first.\n\nYou might also consider other possibilities such as keeping the house and taking an equity loan, or taking out edcational loans once you're in school.\n\nBest of luck.


A new web site was created but my friend in the Midwest is seeing the new web site while I'm still seeing the old web site on the East Coast.  How do web sites propagate?  Do they move geographically, such as west to east?  Do they move from the server that they started at and go from there?  I know it usually takes 2-3 days for them to get all over the world, but I was wondering how it basically works.  Thanks!

Normally it's about 24 hours to propagate across the US.   \nonce the DNS is Set for the domain, that is 'fired' off to other DNS servers, that branch out to others servers, etc until everyone is update with the new location.

I've seen all 3 films, and really liked them all, and will see his latest soon.  Except that he's English, and as someone else said, this was his first major gig at movies, and he's only 14 years old, there's not much I can say about him.  I like his partner in crime, Emma Wasson though.  I believe she's a better actor/actress than Radcliffe and might go father in future films than he does.  Even when they are together in a certain scene, she seems to direct the movie, and Radcliffe follows her directions.  Of course, both at 14, this could change soon.  Most child actors don't make it in the adult world of movies, but there are exceptions.

In the past I used to drink alot, the erosion from vomiting did a lot of damage, is there any way to get my voice too sound better?

vocal eases. most of the sound comes from the diapraghm (99%) and 1 percent from the throat. if you do vocal eases, it help warm up the sound. don't press the sound and don't let air out . the diapraghm is your support system. lift the sound instead of pressing it. take easy on your voice. make the sound spin, meaning make it go somewhere. if you have any questions Klm4k8@umkc.edu


I was just curious about this question.  I saw a lot of people currently asking about meditation.  I was just wondering how do you meditate?

I was taught to sit in a comfortable crosslegged posture with a straight spine (Head, neck and trunk straight, sitting on a cushion if necessary..). Then to observe the breath flowing deeply and evenly with full exhalations, eliminating all pauses and jerks in the breath. \n\nThen the trick was to observe the flow of your thoughts and be aware that you are not the thoughts but merely an observer. These techniques should enable the meditator to quiet the mind and reach a deeper state.\n\nSome like to concentrate on the syllable "so" on the inhalation and "hum" on the exhalation at the point between the eyebrows. Be careful not to be too swept away by your thoughts. Always remind yourself "I am not the thoughts" and return to being the observer.\n\nI hope this is helpful, Goodluck!

You can not generate true "white" light with a laser.  Lasers are sources of coherent light.  This implies that they are monochromatic (single wavelength or color).  In order to generate white light, you need a broad spectrum (many wavelengths), so you can not use a laser.  However, our eyes can perceive the color white with just a combination of a few colors (red, blue, green).  So a laser system that combines a red, green and blue laser will give you the impression that it is a white laser.

I am wanting to start a low carb diet, and I understand that I basically can eat anyhting as long as it has low carbs.  How many Grams of carbs per day is considered low carbs.  I love 2% milk, and drink it with almost every meal.  What could I drink in lew of this milk, if it is bad?

20 grams or less.  And forget about milk ... too much sugar there.  One thing though with a low carb diet is that you can subtract grams of fiber from the total grams of carbs since the body can't metabolize the fiber very well and has to utilize energy in order to do so.  So fiberous veggies like broccoli or cauliflower are great on low carb diets.


Why does this occur? I have been experiencing an odd twitch in the same area of my face for a couple of days now...should I be worried? Please back your answer with scientific data(if possible)...best answer will be chosen on facts and not opinions. Thanks!

A fasciculation (or "muscle twitching") is a small, local, involuntary muscle contraction (twitching) visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibres. Fasciculations have a variety of cause, the majority of which are benign.\n\nConditions\nThe most common cause of persistent fasciculations is benign fasciculation syndrome. \nWerdnig-Hoffman disease \npoisoning by organophosphates \n\nMedications\nOther risk factors may include the use of anticholinergic drugs over long periods—in particular, ethanolamines such as Benadryl, used as an antihistamine and sleep aid, and Dramamine for nausea and motion sickness. Persons with BFS may experience paraesthesia shortly after taking such medication, then hours later as it wears off (especially upon awaking), fasciculation episodes begin.\n\nStimulants can cause fasciculations directly. These include caffeine, pseudoephedrine (Sudafed®), and albuterol/salbutamol (Proventil®, Combivent®, Ventolin®). Medications used to treat attention deficit disorder often contain stimulants as well, and are common causes of benign fasciculations.\n\nTreatment\nInadequate magnesium intake can cause fasciculations, especially after a magnesium loss due to severe diarrhea. Over-exertion is another risk factor for magnesium loss. As many as 80% of the population does not get the recommended daily amount of magnesium; this may be a common cause. Treatment is with supplements or increased intake of foods rich in magnesium, especially almonds and other nuts, and bananas. Ironically, magnesium supplements may result in diarrhea and more magnesium loss.\n\n---------\n\nOccasionally, your eyelid may twitch at random. This involuntary twitching of the eyelid muscle usually lasts less than a minute. But it can be bothersome. The cause of eyelid twitching isn't known. However, it's often associated with fatigue and stress. You may be able to relieve the twitching by gently massaging the affected eyelid.\n\nAn eyelid twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disease. But if that is the case, it's usually accompanied by other symptoms.


Trust me, the US space program was not a farce. You may have seen the old movie Capricorn 1 but that much could not have been faked. We can barely simulate weighlessness with airplane flight for a minute or two--there is no way we could simulate it lasting for days, weeks, and months. There is no way to fake the changes on the human body from prolonged weightlessness.

I started with a temp agency. The job market is calling for people with experience. As soon I worked for a temp for a few months I had a few job offers on my plate.

Most of the time I just figure they are preoccupied, but sometimes I say "YOUR WELCOME"

I asked this question here, I was told it was rude of me to expect a thank you by a lot of posters.  I still think it's not me who is rude...and I still say "You're welcome" to these people to try and get them to remember what we all learned in preschool--say thank you when someone does something nice for you.


see when my class went on a 2 day filed trip i hung out with him alot and by time it was over i felt like i never wanted to leave him , but he has a girlfriend and i am too scared to tell him that i like him.


If it were to become regulated, how would you feel about it?

shet what makes you think there not now they do everything else in there own little sneaky way....


If so, then we should do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.

I don't know that I quite understand you're question, but whether or not humans are mammals, I believe that is correct.  All animals with hair are mammals of some sort so are animals who produce "milk".  So if we aren't mammals exactly what do you think we are?

I am running XP . can you tell me what I/O errors means and how can I get rid of them ??? Thanks Tony

I/O stands for Input/Output I do believe this is to do with data flowing around your computer mainly I could be a problem with hard drive cables but I could be wrong so don't hold me to that you may need a new hard drive cable.\n\nI was talking rubbish:-( Dont listen


It normally happens on Microsoft programs.

An error report sends information about the circumstances in which a particular error occurred. The error reports get saved into Microsoft's databases and they get ranked based on the number of occurrences and the impact of the error. The issues are then looked at accordingly.


i want to be able to disable any windows xp function that would allow a user to save anything whatsoever to the desktop. and looking for a way to stop a user from saving a pic as wallpaper, an xp limited user can still change the wallpaper!!!

1) If they are limited users, and the Desktop folder in on a NTFS volume, change the security access of their folder to READ and EXECUTE only.\n\n2) Consider a) a local policy that disallows wallpaper changes or b) a login script / scheduled task at login / startup command that changes the wall paper back to the default.


hi all,\ni had suffered TB around 2 yrs ago (treatment ended 1 yr ago). i am in love with a girl who doesnt (rather no1 knows) about my disease. i recently gave pre-employment test and was NOT found TB +ve in blood test, X ray. now that im already cured i would like to know if there is a chance of my girlfriend getting infected from me via close contacts,kisses hugs or anyhow.\nshould i back off my plans 2 propose this girl ?\nco-incidently today is world TB day.\nalso off topic i'd like to knwo how many of u (females) reading this would accept some1 who's HAD TB but now is cured as their life partners.\nne doctor's / real life cases are most welcome\nthnks n regards

I don't think it would make any more difference to anyone than if you had a flu.  It is a disease.  You get it, you take antibiotics (yes for awhile), you get over it, and you go on to live a healthy life.  If you don't have it any more, you can not pass it on.  I don't understand why you are worried.  Any doctor would have explained the disease to you when he treated you.  And if you are so insecure about your girl friend's love, I would wait a bit anyway.


It is roller-blade hockey, and the age range is supposed to be 5-7, but it is obviously a relaxed range cause he is 4 and at least one kid I know is 8 (will be 9 this year).  Can my son lift his stick (as long as he keeps it below his shoulders), with both hands, and form a "barrier", sort of shield for himself from the bigger kids if they come flying his way?  Or does he have to learn to use his shoulders, hips/body to do it?  I never played the sport and do not know all the rules/  Thanks in advance. g.

At his age, checking shouldn't be allowed, period. Youth Hockey leagues don't allow checking until PeeWee level (ages 11-12). At age 4, your son should be enrolled in the Instructional Program. At that level, they should be focusing mostly on developing skating skills and very little if at all on actually playing games. At the Mite level (ages 7-8) is when the kids start playing actual games against other teams. I started youth hockey when I was five, but I don't remember having to worry about getting run down by older kids. If this is happening to your son, you should definitely talk to the coaches or consider enrolling him in a different league.


In malay it is called persatuan pemuda pemudi melayu - 4pm

I think you mean the Persatuan Persuratan Pemuda Pemudi Melayu (4PM).  Translated into English, it is: Malay Youth Literary Association.


I just don't want to go out there and fall flat on my ass...And which are the best blades for females??

Things have changed a lot since rollerblades were first introduced, but I still only use the first pair I ever owned!\n\nI bought a pair of Real RollerBlades.  Now they have a lot of knockoffs, real cheap, and don't roll very well.\n\nI recommend laceup, if you can find them, because they are much more flexible as to how tight you want them to be.  And they hold to your foot from the bottom of the laces up.  Some are just buckles in three places, but they can be too loose in places.\n\nFirst, practice with protective gear.  Especially wrist guards and elbow guards.  I've seen people wear knee pads, but I've never managed to fall forward on rollerblades, so I don't wear them!\n\nI have broken my wrists, so I especially recommend the wrist guards.  If you are VERY clumsy, a helmet might be a good idea, too.\n\nSecondly, just practice rolling back and forth in a small area, until you are fairly certain you can stay vertical.  The movement on rollerblades is a bit different than skates, but you are going to push off with one foot while rolling on the other, just like skates.  \n\nOne very big difference:  With skates, the balance is more precarious from front to back.  With Blades, the tendancy is to tip from side to side.  \n\nBe prepared for a couple falls, but don't let that bother you or get you down. Just brush yourself off, and get back up!\n\nAs for the very best blades?  Go to a sporting goods store (ie NOT one of those super size discount stores) and try on all the different styles you might like.  Pay attention to comfort, just like buying shoes.  If they hurt your feet or are too hard to put on in the store, you won't be happy with them, and won't want to skate, when you get home.\n\nHappy shopping and have a great time.


Its a new song. Its not Jaya or chicago. it has a male and female singing it. its like a rap song.

I feel like going to the beach today and the forecast for water is 70 degrees farenheit , is that cold ,warm,or hot?

Considering body temp is 98 degrees normally, 70 degree water would be cold or cool depending your preference.\n\nLittle science experiment--If you want to test it out fill a basin with water that is 70 degrees (use a thermometer to check it) and stick your feet in it.  Then you'll know if you think 70 degrees is cold for the beach or not.


when your love can't be comfort with your family...and your family can't be a parents for your love?do i have to leave my love?why????or i should leave my parents,is it possible??????

for love to replace family it has to include all the neccessary things that family provides for us to survive(sometimes we don't notice them until they are missing). Unless you are already not getting along with family for other reasons, there are too many fish in the sea to pick one that cost you such a high price.  if you don't know this i'll tell you, it's harder to find another family like yours than another partner.  too, it's impossible to find the unconditional love they give.\nthere are several people for every person that needs a match, but not enough parents to go around!\nlike kojak says "who loves you baby?"


Do we need to return to the concept of the Renaissance Man (person)? My view is that interdisciplinary connections often allow quantum jumps in knowledge vis a vis super specialized approaches. I have undergraduate degrees in Science, Humanities and Business and a post grad degree in Business. I do not feel that another Masters or Doctorate would make me more ïntellectual though some of my PhD friends disagree.

I certainly agree that educated people, or intellectuals, need to have a broad education across many fields.  More than that, they need to have the strength of mind to be able to process that information, connect it to each other and share it with others.  People who specialize I don't think have the right to be called educated.  Skilled, yes, but not educated.  An educated person should be able to talk about a wide variety of subjects intelligently and be able to at least ask intelligent questions about the rest.


I keep seeing the same songs in my searches (just the way you look tonight, what a wonderful world, sunrise/sunset). Looking for recent songs, nothing cheesy! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Daddy's Hands for a father/daughter dance


The lyrics are----\n You will never love me\n and this I can't forgive \n that you will never love me \n as long as I will live.

Why so sad, Tell her how you feel and if she doesn't feel the same way, you have lost nothing.  Then you can go on with your life with no regrets.

Jeopardy. Millionare you only get one chance at and Deal or No Deal is too random.


first advice, don't take medicines by yourself\n-if you're not tired/exhausted enough, do sth physical\n-if you're too nervous & sth that keeps on your mind, try relax by aromatherapy thingy/milk/hot bath etc\n-if you're insomnia is prolonged, see a doc instead


i know that villanova was an 8 seed back in 86 but and this year george mason is an 11 seed, so i was just wondering if there ever was a lower seed than g. mason's #11??

LSU was #11 in 1986, they are now tied for the lowest seed ever in the final four.


I just scratched mine and I got this nasty yellowish junk in my nails.

Where do you live ? If it's not because of environment's dirt's color, you must get consultance about your head's skin. \nMine itches sometimes, but when I scratch, there come dead skin with its natural white color.\n\nThere was a the time I rode Motocycle (without helmet) daily in a tropical and poor living condition environment, it came to dark color when my head's dirty and itched - the color of dirt around the town.

He's not fussed, but I'm sure a few of us will be disappointed if we don't!

Depends what your agenda is. Just looking or up for something more?\nThink about it this way....\nWould you go to a restaurant to just only look at the menu??? \nOr would you have them serve everything, look at it all, choose something "with the lot and added extras" only to find it wasn't as tasty as it looked because you realise LOTS of other people had already taken a taste of it before you!!!! URRGGGHHHH\nA group of my friends recently went to a strip club for a stag night - one of the best in town. Most of the guys said "Yeah, the girls were really hot, but they had no personality and if you looked at the girls eyes as she lap danced - you so way knew she just did not wanna be there. Their hearts just weren't in it". Which, they all agreed was a turn off.\nUp to you guys - It's a lot of money to spend.\nGo play paintball or race cars or go deep sea fishing or something. Most of all have FUN!!! :)


If a lender does a no documentation loan with an applicant and grants an approval with prior knowledge that the applicant cannot meet the payments, what are the ramifications to the lender. Do they not have a legal obligation that if the applicant advsies the lender that they cannot meet those payments, to isse a denial

i work in finance, dealing mainly in lending. lenders are legally bound to follow certain rules. one of those is that they cannot lend money to customers that cannot afford to make the repayments. there is a little grey area, as different companies have different criteria. if you are in the uk, this is all covered by the consumer credit act 1998, and i would recommend that you contact the Financial Services Authority. this is the governing body for all financial companies in the uk. they will investigate, and will remain impartial. they will be able to give you better advice for the specific problem you are facing, though i have to say it's not very sensible to take out a loan when you know yourself that you cannot pay it back. having said that, they still have responsibilities, and i'd definitely check into that if i were you.


With a description of what they champion?

Although most charities are legitimate, there are quite a few charity scams. And you certainly don't want to give your money to scammers!\n\nHere are nine tips to ensure your money goes to worthy causes:\n\n1. Do some research on the charity. If you're trying to figure out whether or not some particular US charity is worthy of support, check out:\n\n==> http://www.give.org/reports/index.asp\n\nThey publish their standards for rating charities, and then rate over hundreds of different charities using these standards.\n\n2. Don't give to charities where most of the money goes to executive salaries, administrative costs and fundraising. The website we just recommended, Give.org, presents a pie chart that shows the percentage of money going to programs vs. administration and fundraising.\n\n3. Always find out the exact name of the charity before you send a check. Many fraudulent organizations select names that sound very similar to a legitimate charity.\n\n4. Make sure the charity is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (again, for US subscribers). Otherwise, you won't be able to deduct your contributions on income taxes.\n\n5. Never donate if the caller uses high-pressure tactics or insists you donate now.\n\n6. Always ignore phone calls, letters and emails telling you that you won money or a prize from a charity, unless you specifically entered a contest. These are almost always fraudulent.\n\n7. Avoid charities that won't send you written material before you donate because it's 'too costly.' If an organization has something to hide, it's very likely fraudulent.\n\n8. Don't give cash donations, especially to door-to-door solicitors. If you know the charity and want to contribute, never write a check made out to 'cash.' Always make sure the check is payable to the full name of the charity -- that way it can be cancelled if you suspect fraud.\n\n9. Never give your credit card number to door-to-door solicitors, or in response to a bulk email. In fact, don't give your credit card number unless you are completely confident about the authenticity and good intentions of the charity. Otherwise, you may find yourself the victim of credit card fraud -- or even worse -- identity fraud.


if YOU THINK THAT YOUR FRIENDS WILL TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY ( AS IN NEGATIVELY) BECAUSE YOU TELL THEM SOMETHING LIKE THIS I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE WISE. HOWEVER ON THE CONTRARY IF YOU THINK THEY WILL ACCEPT IT THEN TELL THEM IF YOU ARE READY FOR WHAT IS TO COME.


For me it is a very stressful time of year!!! I dread it.

why are there so many sayings about salt?

Me and to of my best friends are fighting b/c one friends boyfriend called talking shit about my two guy friends i really like and u said you can not call me house talking shit about my people and she got mad at me and now i can't go to her b-day party.What should i do ?Should i buy her something 4 her b-day?The other one is fighting with me b/c one of her friends told her i callerd her a hoe biut i didn't i hang out with her all the time and stuff if she  is a hoe then that makes me a hoe,right?What should i do about her?

suck it up, get her a present for her b-day (she is your friend , right!)and dont worry about what others are saying, what matters is she didnt say it and you didnt say it , so what if others did say it , as you mature you will find out that gossip and rumours are mostly jealousy actions.


Would women like to see a guy in a thong? Because I wear them and girls I know at school don't seem to mind me wearing a thong. See I bought them at K-Mart and yes they do design them to fit the male below the wasit.

i would love to see my guy in a thong!!!!!  it is awesome that you are into it.  i love it that my boyfriend is so comfortable with himself.  he looks great and you prob do too!!


occupations earnings education and training strenghts,abilities and talents

Your training should have  covered  most of  that--how  about talking  with  other, older  teachers  and  maybe  they will  share  their personal  pearls of  wisdom.\n\nBUT , as  an educator, it is  also  your  responsibility to LISTEN to  what  the  students say,  no matter how  far- fetched it may be.Get  to  know  your  students and  gain their  trust-you  may be the first one  to notice continuing abuse  or  neglect of the lil  ones !


I love this Tracy Chapman song and I was wondering if anyone could help me by telling who else has remade the song...thanks!

Love this song too, didn't realise there have been cover versions until I saw your question and did a search out of curiousity.\nWell according to Wikipedia, there are quite a few versions actually\n\n1) R.E.M.\n2) The Flying Pickets \n3) Hundred Reasons\n4) Xiu Xiu\n5) Vertical Horizon\n6) Even Nine\n7) Darwin's Waiting Room\n8) Jesse Janes\n9) The Love Project \n10) Kristian Leontiou\n11) David Usher \n12) Hitomi Yaida\n\nThat's crazy isn't it, I can't say I even recognize half those names but am real curious anyway how their versions ended up sounding.\n\nHope that helped!


I've only been on this site for a week and I cannot believe how bad the grammar, spelling, etc. are.  I know that I'm not the best writer or public speaker, and I realize this is a very informal setting, but at least I can put a sentence together when I need to.  Reading some of the posts on this site is like deciphering sanscrit.  Should we be concerned about this?

I share your concern. Although some people here are not native English speakers, many appear to be from the U.S. and appear unconcerned about the basic tenets of written communicattion. I wonder if writing in such an informal manner will impact the way they communicate when it's important -- like in school or the workplace. I believe you can only learn to write well by practicing writing well. I think some students are in for a big shock when they get to college or enter the workplace because the ability to express yourself correctly, clearly, and succinctly is a major factor in success.


So, your parents did an OK job of naming you, but you always felt that maybe you could have had a cooler name??\n\nWhat would you change your name to?? Would you give yourself a Superhero name? Or just something totally 'out there'??\n\nI think I should be Princess Yolanda the Magnificent... sounds like I could perform magical and wonderful things!! Alternativley 'Star' or 'Pricilla' would be nice!!!  \nBet i would have been the only 'Star' child on the register at school...\n\nTell me your best new or alternative name.... 10 big points to the most excellent!!

I sometmes wish my name was Layne.  But, I was named after my mom's mom and her fave aunt. So, I guess I got lucky.  But, my nickname at one point was The Rain.


They are more rational and realise its just an OPINION which people are entitled to, there have been protests but nothing violent because violence doesn't have any benefits.

mothers are a colossal pain in the bass, if he's such a wuss to let her run the show i'd be giving him the smack down, if i could.


I started exercising about three weeks ago. How can I effectively target my back mucles.

The best overall exercise is the barbell row, all kinds of rows are good.  For width do chins or pull-downs.  The deadlift is also exellent for overall development.  You don't need any fancy equipment, just good ol' free weights.


Much has been made of the fact that no WMD have being found in Iraq(I do believe Saddam had them- I think they are in Syria). But even if there weren't any WMD, Saddam did go to great lengths to make sure it looked like he had them. \n\nI live in Denver. Suppose (hypothetically) that I went to the 16th Street Mall with my "Toys r Us" special (my WMD if you will) and started waving it around or stuck it under my jacket in such a way that it looked like a real gun. Now, it wouldn't take long before the police would get there, ask me once to drop the gun and then shoot me. Shouldn't they be criticized ? After all, they could have demanded that I consent to inspectors coming over to see if the "gun" was real. And as it turned out, I really didn't have a "WMD" after all. Should we criticize the cops for shooting me ? They had no proof it was really a gun.\n\nThoughts ?

we cant win for losing. Had we not acted against Saddam wed have been criticized for not taking a stand. We acted and now we are criticized for having been too aggressive.


the volumes of iced tea in cans are normally distributed with a mean of 250ml and a standard deviation of 4ml. Determine the range to the nearest ml of the volumes of 88% of the cans

You'll use Z-scores and the Z-table. Z-scores convert deviations to standard deviation units. \n\nIn this case, you're looking for the range of scores that makes up the middle 88% of the distribution - 44% on either side of the mean. \n\nThe z-score is 1.56 (look in the table for the z-score that cuts off 44% of the distribution.) This tells you that 44% of the scores fall between the mean and 1.56 standard deviation units above the mean - and 44% of all scores fall between the mean and 1.56 standard deviation units below the mean. \n\nNow, since each standard deviation unit in this particular distribution is 4ml (as per your question), 1.56 standard deviation units is equal to 1.56 x 4, which is equal to 6.24ml.\n\nBack to the problem - your range is 6.24 ml above and below the mean - which is 250ml - therefore the range of volumes is from 6.24ml less than 250 to 6.24ml more than 250 - or in other words - 243.76ml to 256.24 ml.\n\nHope that helped!

And does any one know any good ways to get deep into meditation?

Slow your mind. Modern life tends to wind us up; literally speeding up our brainwave frequency. Normal daily, wide-awake, states of consciousness are Beta frequency 14 up to 20+ cycles per second. Beta level brainwave activity is too fast to allow psychic connections. Beta brain is a busy brain so the practice of meditation and relaxation methods you are comfortable with are the first steps to develop psychic ability.

Eg: wetting carbon black, mix oil and water,fire fighting (wet burning carbon surfaces ), emulsions for recycling of carbon & other materials, best dispersant properties, environmental friendly and very economical to produce.

Sounds like you are talking about an anionic surfacant(a substance that allows things to get wet) There is a very popular material that does this it is called soap.


I have independent studies and my subject is William Shakespeare and my project is a video.I've decided to do a scene from one of Shaespeare's plays but I have no idea which one . Any references anyone ?

For me its a toss up between the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet and the death scene in the same play.  Both show love's hold on the star-crossed lovers. For some reason Romeo's last line "And thus with a kiss I die" just stays with me. It may be easier to feign a tomb than make a balcony.


For example, to play a different team in the playoffs, to make a brother or sister happy, to win a bet, or because you just wanted to get home early that day.

Getting $100,000 is a huge fortune for many people living in poor countries and societies.

The formula is simple: CREATE SOMETHING OF VALUE THAT PEOPLE WILL WANT\n\nWhether you start an information website or create products or offer services, it has to have something that people would actually want.\n\nThe "best project" will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. \n\nThe key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.\n\nDan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:\n\n1. List 5 things you do best\n2. List how others would benefit from what you do best\n3. Find out how to give people what they want\n4. Learn the value of your services to others\n5. Find out who else offers similar services\n6. Learn from the successes of others\n7. Learn from the failures of others\n8. Plan your own success\n9. Make low cost mistakes\n10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it\n\nYou may find some business ideas here:\n\nTop 10 Home Businesses with Rapid Break-Even Time http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol33/breakeven.htm\n10 Profitable “Go-Out" Home Businesses http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol31/goout.htm\nLow Cost Startup Businesses http://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses/0,6617,,00.html

This is not a "guess my religion question" This is a: am I recognized as a member of any religious group question.\nI believe in g-d. I do NOT believe Jesus was the son of g-d. I follow Judaism as best I can. I keep kosher but not shabbat. My father is jewish. My mother is not. I am (because of mom) not jewish.\nI have been to temple and church. I have been to religious schools for jewish girls. I have tried officially converting to being a Jew (MANY problems resulted)\nAm I automatically a christian despite my lack of belief in Jesus? Do any religions pick up the stragglers like me? Is there default religion?\nPLEASE do not tell me to "take up jesus" He may have been a cool guy, but he is not my g-d. Respect this belief and answer the question dont tell me what religion I SHOULD believe in. I dont like being prostlatized to.

Given the information provided, I would think you'd be Jewish.  But you have to follow their rules/requirements/process to be "converted" or officially recognized as Jewish.\n\nBut I was under the impression that if one of your parents is Jewish - then you would be Jewish and not have to "convert".
