I'm trying to implement these techniques into my program, and I can't seem to figure out the necessary method for implementing either of them.  I'm working on reducing a polygon mesh using OpenGL in Visual C++.  Any code that can be provided, just something simple, would be helpful.  Just so I get the basic idea of how both the edge-collapse algorithm and the triangle-collapse algorithm work.\nThanks.

float ComputeEdgeCollapseCost(Vertex *u,Vertex *v)\n{\n   // if we collapse edge uv by moving u to v then how\n   // much different will the model change, i.e. the\n   // "error".\n   float edgelength = magnitude(v->position - u->position);\n   float curvature=0;\n   // find the "sides" triangles that are on the edge uv\n   List<Triangle *> sides;\n   for(i=0;i<u->face.num;i++)\n   {\n      if(u->face[i]->HasVertex(v))\n      {\n         sides.Add(u->face[i]);\n      }\n   }\n   // use the triangle facing most away from the sides\n   // to determine our curvature term\n   for(i=0;i<u->face.num;i++)\n   {\n      float mincurv=1;\n      for(int j=0;j < sides.num;j++)\n      {\n         // use dot product of face normals.\n         float dotprod = \n            u->face[i]->normal ^   sides[j]->normal;\n         mincurv = min(mincurv,(1-dotprod)/2.0f);\n      }\n      curvature = max(curvature,mincurv);\n   }\n   return edgelength * curvature;\n}\n\nvoid ComputeEdgeCostAtVertex(Vertex *v)\n{\n   if(v->neighbor.num==0)\n   {\n      v->collapse=NULL;\n      v->cost=-0.01f;\n      return;\n   }\n   v->cost = 1000000;\n   v->collapse=NULL;\n   // search all neighboring edges for Òleast costÓ edge\n   for(int i=0;i < v->neighbor.num;i++)\n   {\n      float c;\n      c = ComputeEdgeCollapseCost(v,v->neighbor[i]);\n      if(c < v->cost)\n      {\n         v->collapse=v-neighbor[i];\n         v->cost=c;\n      }\n   }\n}\n\nvoid Collapse(Vertex *u,Vertex *v)\n{\n   // Collapse the edge uv by moving vertex u onto v\n   if(!v)\n   {\n      // u is a vertex all by itself so just delete it\n      delete u;\n      return;\n   }\n   int i;\n   List<Vertex *>tmp;\n   // make tmp a list of all the neighbors of u\n   for(i=0;i<u->neighbor.num;i++)\n   {\n      tmp.Add(u->neighbor[i]);\n   }\n   // delete triangles on edge uv:\n   for(i=u->face.num-1;i>=0;i--)\n   {\n      if(u->face[i]->HasVertex(v))\n      {\n         delete(u->face[i]);\n      }\n   }\n   // update remaining triangles to have v instead of u\n   for(i=u->face.num-1;i>=0;i--)\n   {\n      u->face[i]->ReplaceVertex(u,v);\n   }\n   delete u;\n   // recompute the edge collapse costs in neighborhood\n   for(i=0;i<tmp.num;i++)\n   {\n      ComputeEdgeCostAtVertex(tmp[i]);\n   }\n}

I had other terrorists "Bring it on" during October 1968. That day I earned the DSC. Not for eliminating 40 enemy personnel but assisting in saving the lives of three Americans and about 60 strikers. I just wish that an old man like me would be allowed to go and fight now. Hell! I've done things that most people read about or watch on TV or in the movies. I've lived my life and I am ready. You can't be afraid to get hurt or killed because that's when you do(in combat). Yep! Bring it on. Casualities will occur but I believe that they are getting the worst of it.


I'm 5'5 and a half ish, and I'm only 12. Am I tall? My mom is short and so is everyone else in  my family so I'm taller then all of them. But really, am I tall?

Nope, I was 5'6 when I was 12. Now, I am almost 5'9. But, yeah on the averages, you are taller than most people your age. I am only 13 going on 14 and I am almost 5'9. Just talk to me if you feel uncomfortable, cuz chick I know all about that.

Indians have been migrating overseas since centuries. They are hardworking, successful and have made a mark in lands they settled.

In most cases Indian have a high rate of college graduates,or post graduates (because of free education in there country)many of them CPA,CPT ,MBA, BA holders, they are good at math, IT...etc.\nFor this group is very easy to find a job overseas compare to there western competition to the lower pays they accept, still this low wages count as very high wages in there home country(example Indian ex patriots in GCC country's like UAE).\nAlso for unskilled labor force is cheaper to hire Indian or Pakistanis compare to other nationalities, due to the lower wages they will accept.

A man comes from Africa, unable to speak a word of english, he looks for jobs, the only one he can get is selling oranges on the side of the road.\n\nHe is taught by his boss there are only 3 questions customers ask, he learns the answers, and starts selling oranges.\n\nAn old lady walks up to him and asks "How much?"\n"e 5 cents" he answers.\n\n"Where they from?" She asks\n"The beste froom englaand" he answers in his accent.\n\n"It's ok, I don't feel like buying oranges anyways" she says as she's walking away, he understands this as she doesn't want to buy and responds "If youdon't, somebody else will"\n\nThe lady turns around, chuckles and buys a couple oranges.\n\nHe's sitting there for a while a biker asks him "Hey you, whats the time?"\n"e 5 cents" he replies\n\n"Where you from answering like that"the biker asks\n"The best from england" he answers\n\n"so tell me what the time is or I'll kick ur ass" he says, turning to his bike.\nThe guy answers "if you don't, somebody else will"

I am 71kg,164cm tall sometime when I see myself in the mirror I always see my myself as a fat person I am wearing wrong clothes or something.

it is all mental. likely your image of what is "fat" and "skinny" is skewed by magazines and tv and other media. it has made you think that "normal" is the new "fat" and "skinny as a flag pole" is the new "normal".\n\nand not to say you have it or insult you, but you may want to talk to a counsoler or some kind of professional. from psychology classes, i've learned that anorexic people literally see themselves as fat, even when they are beyond thin. they did a study where they used a special lense that makes people look fatter and used a normal lense that makes people look normal. when shown the two pictures, anorexic people always chose the one that made them look fat. so...maybe it is time to talk to someone before something serious happens.


I was never one to listen to really loud music, but I did work at a factory for awhile that had some pretty loud machines.  I also used headphones to fall asleep when I worked the graveyard shift; but not all that loud.... What can I do???  I have about 6 tones going in each ear!

Many people experience an occasional ringing (or roaring, hissing, buzzing, or tinkling) in their ears (see an illustration of the ear). The sound usually lasts only a few minutes. If it becomes persistent, you may have tinnitus. Tinnitus is most common in people over age 40. It affects men more often than women.\n\nThere are two main types of tinnitus:\n\nVibratory tinnitus is often caused by mechanical sounds created by muscle contractions near the ear, changes in the ear canal, or blood flow (vascular) problems involving the face or neck. You may hear sounds such as your own pulse or the contractions of your muscles. \nNonvibratory tinnitus is caused by problems in the central or peripheral nerves involved with hearing. You may hear sounds in one or both ears. Sometimes this type of tinnitus is described as coming from inside the head. \n\nTinnitus is usually caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise (acoustic trauma), which damages to the nerves in the inner ear. However, tinnitus can occur with all types of hearing loss and may be a symptom of almost any ear disorder. Other possible causes of tinnitus include:\n\nA buildup of earwax. \nMedications, especially antibiotics or large amounts of aspirin. \nDrinking an excessive amount of alcohol or caffeinated beverages. \nHearing loss that may accompany aging (presbycusis). \nEar infections or eardrum rupture. \nDental or other problems affecting the mouth, such as temporomandibular (TM) problems. \nInjuries, such as whiplash or a direct blow to the ear or head. \nInjury to the inner ear following surgery or radiation therapy to the head or neck. \nA rapid change in environmental pressure (barotrauma). \nSevere weight loss from malnutrition or excessive dieting. \nRepeated exercise with the neck in a hyperextended position, such as when bicycle riding. \nBlood flow (vascular) problems, such as carotid atherosclerosis, AV malformations, and high blood pressure (hypertension). \nNerve problems (neurologic disorders), such as multiple sclerosis or migraine headache. \nOther diseases. These may include: \nAcoustic neuroma.\nAnemia.\nLabyrinthitis.\nMénière's disease.\nOtosclerosis.\nThyroid disease.\nMost tinnitus that comes and goes (intermittent) does not require medical treatment. However, if tinnitus is accompanied by other symptoms, becomes persistent, or starts to localize to one ear, a visit to a health professional usually is needed. Often there is no cure for tinnitus, but your health professional can help you learn how to live with the problem.


Ok iam looking to talk to people that are married to someone in the army or someone getting married into the military. I get married Sept.2nd,2006 and he leaves for basic june 13th this summer and he will be back at the end of Aug. So Iam wanting to make some military friends that I can talk to and understand what I will be going through.

It is an interesting experience. My husband and I have been together for only 3 years and we are on our second deployment. He is currently serving in Iraq. Be proud because your husband is doing something truly great. Feel free to contact me if you want to talk.


it is becoming more and more annoying everyday. i shouldnt have to refresh my browser about 20 times for a link to yahoo sports (for example) to show up, or even for yahoo as my homepage to show up. it's pretty sad and pathetic really. remind me again why i use yahoo as my homepage?

◙ yahoo works perfectly everytime i go to use it. turn off your computer and restart it. this fixes many many offline and online computer problems.


he just retired from the Navy after20 yrs. 3 tours to iraq\nHell lets give everyone enlisted an atta boy/girl

HELL YEAH!  ATTA BOY AND ATTA GIRL!  Give him a great big hug and tell him "Thanks!"  My enthusiasm is tempered somewhat by a heavy heart as I remember all those who have sacrificed life, limb, innocence, and peace of mind to fight for our country, right or wrong.  Without their answering the call to duty, you and I would not enjoy the freedom to mess around on this site.\nSHALL THEY NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND ALWAYS FONDLY REMEMBERED!!!

Can it beat a 370 Hp gas hemi Dodge Ram in a drag race?

If the 370hp Ram is rated at 370 at the motor and not the wheels then yes, if the hp is rated at the wheels then again it's gonna be close, as both trucks are heavy anyway.\n\nWhere are you at, I know of a certain 2002 Chevy that would put some $$$$ on the line, it's just a lil' ol' VORTEC; ) surely no match for the big bad HEMI.  If you're close to Ark. give me a holler, it can be arranged.


if you were given the values for y and z write out in words the steps you would go through to find the value for x\na. x = yz\nb. x = y^2z\nc. x = yz^2\nd. x = y^2 z+y\nf. x^2=y (3y - 2z)

a. multiply y and z to get x\nb. mulitply y and y and z to get x\nc. multiply y and z and z to get x\nd. multiply y and y and z and add y to get x.\nf. multiply y by the quantity of 3 times y minus 2 times y.  Then take the square root of that answer to get x.


LOL (also spelled lol) is a TLA, the abbreviation for "laughing out loud", "laugh out loud", or less commonly "lots of laughs". LOL is a common element of Internet slang used, historically, on Usenet.\n\n\nAnalysis\nMany people are critical of "LOL" and its related acronyms and there is widespread controversy over their use. Some message boards ban the usage of "LOL". Most people seem to use "LOL" as a filler in a message instead of actually "laughing out loud," for example, someone may say "lol I don't know" despite the fact that "lol" does not necessarily mean the person is laughing out loud. "LOL" can also be used to mean 'lots of love', however, those who use it in this form are clearly stretching it. The abbreivation LOL, lol, LoL, etc... is not case sensitive. As part of Internet Jargon language, it is commonly linked with leet.\n\nIt should be noted that the word 'lol' is Dutch for 'fun'. It is however unclear if the abbreviation of LOL came from this word.

specifically northern california where all the rains has brought about the worst allergy season ever. my poor cat won't stop sneezing. what is it ?

If it is allergens the vet has something for that. And from what I have heard its not expensive. But it could be another health issue Kitty is suffering with, he could have a respiratory infection, since cats rarely suffer from allergies (not to say they don't because they do) As for the pollen count go to your local favorite news site , in the weather section they will have the pollen count and hazard rating of the air quality for your area. Where as most people on-line won't have the accurate information for your county.


What are some good arm strengthening exercises

you should definately consider getting a membership at the gym if you dont have a weight set at home. just doing pushups and pullups just doesnt cut it. if u do have a membership and weights, you wanna create a weekly 4 day split.\n\nmonday= chest (incline, decline, and flat bench)\ntuesday= back (pullups, reverse curls, pulldowns, rows)\nwed=rest\nthurs= legs (squats, leg press, extensions, curls, calve raises)\nfriday= shoulders and arms (military press, lateral and front raises, bicep curls, dips, tricep pushdowns)\n\neat calorie dense foods and a lot of protein. for a lot more info than i can give you here, read some articles on www.bodybuilding.com good luck.

okay one of my guys friends hooked me up with one of his friends we ended up going a little to far and i ended up liking this guy but this guy does not talk to me anymore? And my ex of 4 years on and off!! Has a baby from his other ex on one of the times we borke up and now he wants me back?? i am so confused????

As long as your ex didn't cheat on you while you were together. Then the decision on that one. Merely, depends on whether you want him back.  If you do take him back. You just have to realize that a little baby comes along for the ride.  Now with getting set up with a friend of a friend. Well, if he is not talking to you anymore. Just let it be. You deserve more than that.  Just make sure to tell your friend. (Just so he can realize what kind of friend he has)

my regular server is aol. when i search for yahoo and it opens the opening page shows 4/24 as the date under news and has been doing so since that day.  when i log on at work it always shows the current date.

Its Groundhog Day !!!!!!!\n\n(sorry, that means I don't know, lol)


me and the guy i like have known each other for almost a year. i like him alot. we talk but i'm not one of his closest friends in my opinion. i want to go out with him but i don't know how to ask him and i don't know if he likes me back. i think that if i ask him and if he says no politely i hope that it won't make things awkward between us. how do i ask him out with these problems to think about?

You could go and ask one of his guy friends that you can trust.


In my dream, I can see my eye but in different shape, it was not the usual shape i've seen.  What would this mean?  Is there gonna be something wrong?

I don't think your dream really means anything. Sometimes God tries to talk to people through dreams so you might want to ask Him what he wants you to do.


with the provider i'm dealing with i have 2 lans 192.168.1.0 & 192.168.4.0 with respectively wan ips 172.16.1.1 & 172.16.1.13, they told me that i must disable nat to have lan-to-lan access (in previous application i did so and it worked) but here when i disable nat i loose the ability to ping or connect any wan ip (not only the remote lan ip), i'm using an SHDSL modem/router billion 8500 ( i already used in my previous application) what can i do or what i must tell the isp people to do to solve this problem mainly getting access with nat disabled?

If you disable NAT then you give up DCHP with allocates LAN IP addresses. You will have to setup a static IP address.\nWhat you may have to do is set one router as "Gateway" and the second router as to "Router". The down side is your second router will have to access the internet thru the Gateway router. On the positive side you could then save the cost of one ADSL, Cable, or T-1 connection.


i do shave but have considered what would happen if i didn't. in a feminist approach, i'd say women have been made to THINK what all the other posters above me have answered, that's it's "gross", that women "aren't supposed to be hairy", etc. But if we were not made to have hair, then why does it grow at all?\nI think the media has portrayed women to be perfect in every way, and hairless is just another way to make us obsess over perfection, spend money becoming hair-less etc.\nIn France, women didn't used to shave at all, that's because it was looked at as something normal, so you see, the Media has created this image for us.\nIf you don't shave, you have my admiration.


I am against the government - it does more harm than good. However, since there has to be a government, I think it should be helping out more and that seems more liberal. I am for the death penalty in all cases but I'm also pro-choice. I think homosexuals should be given equal rights. I do not agree with President Bush on almost everything(I especially don't agree with the war) and enjoy watching liberal media such as the Daily Show. I support the troops. I don't think John Kerry was a sufficient candidate for the election but would have voted for him if I was old enough. Some of my views seem very conservative but I like to consider myself a liberal. What do you think?

Do yourself a favor and don't take the red pill or the blue pill. Study the issues and make your own decisions and when you vote, vote for the best candidate, not the best Democrat or the best Republican.

Considering the weight of the outcome of the conflict, and the likely opression if it had turned out diffrently, I ask that we consider a day to remember these Soldiers Sailor and Airmen. The contributions of those who served go farther than the conflict itself, they returned to rebuild a nation that was still feeling the effects of market collapse. However the ultimate victory can be narrowed to a single day. A day that turned the tide of spreading hatred back onto itself. 6 June 1944 afforded the world a chance to pervent future tyrants so powerful. The Normandy landings opened they way to defeat of one enemy and allowed the re-direction of our resources to defeat a second. With these in Mind I ask if there is any reason NOT to honor these men and women.

Name a man or woman in our society who fits that definition. Explain your reasoning.

Mae Jemison is a true renaissance woman.  After conquering poverty and getting all she could from the Chicago public school system, Dr. Jemison went on to earn degrees in chemical engineering and African Studies from Stanford University.  She earned her medical degree from Cornell.  She then decided to pursue her interests in Space travel and became an astronaut.  She loves acting, so she followed that dream and did some guest appearances on Star Trek Next Generation (of course!). After her time at NASA, she founded a research company, pursuing her entrepreneurial goals.  \n\nHer bio lists her personal interests as:  traveling, graphic arts, photography, sewing, skiing, collecting African Art, languages (Russian, Swahili, Japanese), weight training, has an extensive dance and exercise background and is an avid reader.\n\nIf this is not a renaissance woman, I cannot imagine who is!!


It means the obvious, but first go back to 24:9. The next step  is for believers to be rounded up and some killed. Note!

I do not go by "Christian" I am a member of the Messiah's flock. I hear his voice and to a stranger I will not listen


i'll be visiting Poland next month, i wanna know if i can go to berlin with no need of german visa.\nthx 4 help!

OK..You have had some silly answers here..so to set the record straight....\n\nYES!! OF COURSE YOU CAN VISIT GERMANY WITHOUT A VISA!\nPoland is a member of the EU :-) No passport holder of a European Union country needs a visa to visit Germany (which is also a EU member state)...\n\nThough you will need a visa (for the moment) if you want to work there. Unfortunately Germany along with a number of other EU states has been very protectionist in it's employment policies. And has placed restrictions on citizens of newer EU member states such as Poland....however if you want , there are no such restrictions in UK, Ireland or Sweden :-)\n\n\n\nHere are some websites for you to check further details...

I would like to start investing in stocks. I need to select an online broker. Which one do you think is the best, according to your experience?. Etrade, AmerTrade, Socttrade, ...?

I say go with Scottrade.  I have been taking a look at the different online brokers and have recently decided to go with Scottrade myself.  They have lower fees and require a lower balance to open an account ($500).  Also they have many offices around the country that are there if you want to meet with someone in person.\n\nTake a look at this link, it compares the online services of different brokers:\n\nhttp://www.scottrade.com/frame_brokers.asp

i want to open a room on yahoo to dj but i don't know how to create a room on yahoo can someone help me out.

Mom has for twenty years been contributing to many charitable organizations...World Wildlife Fund, Paralyzed Vets, Children's Hospitals, Humane Society, Indian Reservations, etc. She sat writing on the requests this week "Please remove from mailing list - "Due to gas prices, I can no longer afford to make donations. When prices go back down to $1.25, put me back on your list".  She said she hates to do it but maybe if enough people did the same, the organizations would lobby the government with the little people to bring down prices.  Would this work??

Hrm... sounds like your mom is picking a whipping boy.  Oil companies are responsible for the price of oil.  Punishing charities for high gas prices is like beating your kids because your neighbors kids stole your mailbox.  \n\nOnly two ways I can think of for consumers to affect to price of oil:\n\n1)  Quit using so much.  When the demand goes down, so will the price.  Oil conservation and alternative fuel sources can do a lot to lessen the price at the pump.\n\n2)  Selective boycotting.  Boycotting is the consumer's most effective method of getting what they want out of the corporations that serve them.  Unfortunately, few boycots accomplish anything.  Much like a labor strike, a boycot must be well organized, direct, and limited.  For instance, a consumer protection union could organize its members to boycot one particular gasoline provider in a local area.  If they made it clear to the gasoline company exactly how much money they would lose, the company could be induced to offer a discount to union members.  This works out for both parties.  The union members get cheaper gas from a particular company, which gives them a reason to ALWAYS buy their gas from that company.  In this way, the company reduces it's margin but increases it's sales (including sales of drinks, beef jerky, cheap sunglasses, cigarettes, and all the other crap that gas stations make money on).  \n\nSlightly off topic, a few points to consider for those adherents of Marketpressurism who maintain that the federal government has no control over the price of oil:\n\nThe US federal government is the world's largest consumer of petroleum products.  Simply by increasing their consumption (such as by sending thousands of tons of people, vehicles, military and construction equipment, etc. halfway across the world) they can have a significant effect on global demand.\n\nThe US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the largest government-owned emergency oil stockpile on earth.  By varying the rate at which we fill the Reserve or by okaying the release of some Reserve stock into the circulating supply, the executive branch of government can have a very direct effect on oil prices.\n\nSince the majority of oil consumed in America is produced abroad, the price of oil is very dependant on how much oil foreign countries are willing to sell to the US.  By pressuring or working out deals with foreign governments that supply oil, the federal government can have a large influence on the available supply, thus lowering prices.\n\nIf a government heavily funds and supports alternative fuel development and conservation measures, they can actively reduce oil consumption throughout the country.

"y pueden dios bendecir América"\nThat's actually a very incorrect literal translarion of "May God Bless America"\n\nPuede = May or Can (As in: He can, He may)\n\nThat's poorly written.


I want to take a women on my ski & fish runabout.\nDo I need to get a port-a-potty or something?

Depending where you are. If we're out in the bay and there is no one around, you just hang over the edge. However if the water is choppy you have to be a little more careful. If there are other people around, you can get into the water, or complain to your husband that he need to get a port-a-potty. But these are not feasible on a smaller boat as they tend to spill out, and anyone can see you drop you drawers anyway...if she is shy tell her to get in the water. But you need to go over all of this with her before you take her out there.


If you had plans to do something with a friend tonight, and they just call you around lunch time to tell you they're gonna do domething with someone else - but you can do something tomorrow, would you be upset? The idiot doesn't understand why I'm upset.

Yes, this kind of thing upsets me, too.  Ticks me right off!!  I think who ever you had plans with first, is the one you should stick with!


as of now it may seem that its going great, but with the lack of senior players n expertise, they r not gonna get too far... young talent is a must but the real test will be when they play outside the subcontinent n on some real bouncy tracks... the management shud realise the urgency of experienced players in the team... else in the long run, its not gonna get far..


If it doesn't then is there any situation (as far fetched as it may seem) in which sound could induce noise in any circuit..

If your PCB has a hairline crack and conducting path is intermittent. A sound that is converted into a vibration can cause induced interference at the hairline crack.\n\nBut this is via a transducer (hairline crack), not directly from sound to electrical. This principle was used in the early days on the carbon microphone for the telephone mouth piece.


Why is it that in safety evaluations of products the leakage current testing is only conducted on cord connected products, why not fixed/permanently connected equipment.  The ground is still usually connected to the enclosure and is a potential of electric shock to the user.

Cord connected products are likely to be suspect to a higher failure rate of the grounding system, or circumvention of the grounding lead.  This can be through normal use as the appliance is moved around, the cord is flexed, and the plug is repeatedly inserted and removed from the socket through its service life.\n\nSecondly, corded products, particularly powered hand tools are more often in contact with the operator, so they present a greater a shock hazard in that respect.\n\nThird, corded products tend to see more abuse (dropping, etc.) than something that's positioned in a fixed manner.\n\nFourth, a fixed installation usually has more than one path to ground available.  While a single grounding lead is essential, the conduit also provides a grounding path.  This makes checking the ground path a little more involved as it could be achieving an earth ground through several or more paths, one of which should be the grounding wire.


only thing i can think of is someone was sending porn and smut to me then denied it but only after i had sent a complaint to yahoo i sent all the letters tothis person to show what was sent to me from there address so now iv lost all the letters cus my account is closed and i now cant send it to local police to deal with dko you think this is why they closed my account and is there a way to ger it back flaim now flaem

first you should know that all the yahoo mail boxes linked to the automatic machine and this is because of to many mails they are receiving, so the machine configured that  whenever it notice any abnormal things (i.e. Porno, sexy words, virus ) it automatically eliminate the message mail as well as the concened account. you can send another complaint mail to yahoo administration but without those pics from another account, and beside that you should request the reopening of your account too.


so i meet this guy,really cute down to earth just chill so ne ways he calls everyday wants to hang out i meet all his friends go to his fav spots go watch his band practice etc. spend the night but i didnt give it up....well we had some fun  btw he tells me how into me he is hows hes never dated agirl like me etc. this al takes place in a week which i know is a little sudden but we clicked or so i though now heres the problem....one day he doesnt call its now been 5 days since ive talked to him icalled but was forced to leave a message still no word i cant figure out wht happened &its driving me crazy whats a girl to do or think?

He gave you a week to put out, since you didn't he didn't want to waste any more time with you.\n\nHe isn't worth your time.  Congratulations for keeping your senses and not giving in to him.  You now see his true colors.\n\nIt's hard to read a guy's intentions.  He probably isn't wanting in the girl department so, he wanted to move along to the next girl.  You will come across these every now and then.\n\nHopefully you'll get good at sniffing them out.


Im only in Middle school so 50-ish dollars is still alot to spend on spikes!

I used to get all of my track spikes from Eastbay.com. They usually have pretty good sales and basic spikes for under $50. Also you can subscribe to the catalog for free. That way you'll be in on the sales next year and be ready before the season starts.

My life became quite stressful a year ago when my newborn daughter suffered a stroke.  She is fine now but I have been struggling with some painful and scary symptoms.  When she was about 4 months old I had a dental filling put in.  The dentist used a horrible dental dam contraption on a metal frame that really wrenched my mouth open.  From that point on I have had face pain and noticed a swollen gland in my neck.  I was very tense from the problems with my daughter and I notice even now that I hold my jaw tensley and sometimes clench my teeth.   I believe that the stupid dental thing in my mouth injured the muscles/tendons in the tmj area and exacerbated any tension I already had in that area.  Now I have alot of the typical teeth clenching/tmj symptoms such as occassional ear pain, head and neck pain and tightness down that side of my head, neck, and back, AND I still have swollen glands in my neck on that side.  Has anyone else experienced swollen neck glands with TMJ and clenching?

You know what really sucks about that, is that you don't know whether to go to a dentist or a doctor.  I had pain in that area for two years and spent thousands of dollars.  \n\nHonestly, I think, a combo of your sinuses, ear infection and perhaps your bite.  Go to a new dentist and get them to check your bite.  Then go get some ear drops.  Better yet, get some antibiotics if you can persuade your doctor.  He'll say, I can't see any evidence of an ear infection.  No, but beg him anyways.  At least get the ear drops from him.  Get some sinus spray from him too.  Get a sinus X-ray, although they are not accurate.  Sinuses can play a real havoc on your face and your jaw I think.\n\nSuck on a candy to relax your jaw and produce saliva.  It'll keep your teeth from hurting too maybe.


she is barley making it through it happend less than two weeks ago and i dont know how to give her any useful help and it makes me feel like a bad friend

Just be there for her.  She is going to feel guilty and sad and angry all at the same time and really there is nothing you can say to help but just being there as a shoulder to cry on when she wants will be a help.  Don't try and cheer her up but at some point it will be good for her to talk to some professional counselor.  Don't push it be if she brings it up then encourage her gently.


i am going to highschool (one that is not really good) can plz someone tell me what happens in HS.

this is what happens. you have 4 years to find out who you really are, you get peer pressured into drugs possibly, you get in more fights possible, and every year youll get a new set of best friends.


if your tryin to build muscle then only work out 2 or 3 days of the week because what you are doing when weight training is riping your muscle and then you need time for it to heal and build (hope that makes sense and helps)

Can incense get you high, even if you inhale only a whiff or so of the actual smoke? Assuming it had no hash or crack in it? Sorry - I'm just very paranoid. I accidentally inhaled some of the visible smoke for a few seconds.

Incense cannot get you high. The reason incense is associated with drugs is because it is often used to cover up the smell of marajuana smoke.\n\nI burn incense all the time to try and keep my house from smelling lke mold and I can assure you it is perfectly harmless.


i want to save up romantic poems to put in a big journal but so far i cant find romantic and love poems 4 teens.

Help me to know the entire working of the Internet for every situation ie how does the transfer of packet takes place in a org using private IPs or NATTING . for regional ISPs and considering ETHERNET communication as well as WIRELESS comm. at every layer of the OSI/TCPIP model.

the packet went through many routers. each routher has a dynamic table (yeah..some are statics, but very rare). every packet will be routed to the next router, for example went to want to send a packet to Yahoo! answers, it went through your LAN router, the routher check the receiver address and decide that it's not for a local host (it doesn't care if it for Yahoo! or Yeeha! whatsoever, as long it's not local), it will routed to the AP. the AP then do the same checking, whether it's local to the AP or not. and this process keeps going on until it reaches Yahoo!\nduring the process, the receiver and the sender IPs will be changed according to which network the packet is in. for example, the packet from Yahoo! to your PC will have the IP of your AP as the receiver, than at the AP it will betranlated into the router's IP, then at the router it will be translated to your IP.\n\nthe MAC address will never changed since it's about your physical address, not logical...

If you want to be here 1 follow the rights steps no bull sh 2 learn our language 3 sing the national anthem in English 4 we should not have to learn theres or get inerpreters if i apply for a job and i am told that i have all of the skills that they are looking for but they cannot hire me because i am not bilingual well that is the biggest crock of ##### i could go on all day i know i cant be the only one that is infuriated by this i say kick them all out they get caught here ileagally and we want to charge them with a felony and they say that is not right wel that just goes to shows how out of tune with reallity they are the last that i check if you do the crime you pay the time you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar well you cant get out of that one  again let me know if i am the only one that feels this way. oh and when they were all marching all over the place on monday waving there home countrys flags that a crock to if there country so great then why come here!!!

I'm sure your not the only one but u are talking about two kind of people which are very different from each other: \n\n1. people who can't learn English . so i wonder why would anyone feel bothered by people who can not learn??? do u also feel annoyed by people who can't learn other things??? well i know a person mentally not capable of learning another language and can't even formulate a sentence making  sense in his own language . should i feel bothered by this person or should i feel sorry for him and try to help him not because of his incapacity but because he is a human being?? .\n\n2. people who choose not to learn English . well about this kind of people i think this people are making a huge mistake . the English language is the most important language in the world just like Spanish is the second most important . in my opinion anyone who chooses not to learn any of the two having the capacity to do it  is making a huge mistake . \n\nabout people looking for a job and not finding it because they do not speak spanish , perhaps they were not hired because of their bad grammar and not because of they not speaking another language .


somewhere in my computer there are pics that get downloaded that i did not want to.  Is like every thing you look at get put in your computer. is there a way i can pull them up and get rid of them

Yes, if you have Windows XP you open up Start>>all programs>>Accessories>>system tools>>Disc cleanup\n\nwhen that opens up it will show you everything you can get rid of. You will want to get rid of the temporary internet files. You can view them before you delete them if you like.

What is the composition of a methanol (CH3OH)-propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) soln that has a vapor pressure of 174 torr at 40 degrees c? @ 40 degrees, the vaopr pressures of pure methanol and pure propanol are 303 and 44.6 torr respectively assume the soln is ideal.

The total vapor pressure of the solution is equal to the sum of the two partial pressures of the components of the solution.\n\nUsing the mole fraction of the solution, find the conbination of methanol and propanol which will give you the desired vapor pressure.\n\npartial pressure of methanol  = vapor pressure of methanol  * mole fraction of methanol\npartial pressure of propanol = Mole fraction of propanol * vapor pressure of propanol\n\npartial pressure of propanol + partial pressure of methanol = total solution vapor pressure


I am dating 4 men at the moment and it's great- my sister reckons her limit would be 2, but apparently read a statistic somewhere that the most people a person acn date at one time is 11, as the brain can't cope with anymore detail after that!

That's bull.  You can date as many guys as you can handle.  My friend used to date as many as 8 guys and even squeeze in an extra 5 if space permitted in her calendar.


My love living in America...i tryed to live there but i can't. First of all coz so many diffrences in the culture - in the people.

And I can't let him live in my country coz for him it's not safety. He is black and in my country - attitude about black people very bad. But also I know - i will not be able to live ithout him. What to do and where to live. help me guys!

Go to CANADA, you won't have to worry there about anything.


I think that US should take a two year break from charity. Within those two years we could fix all of our problems in our country. We then could continue to aid other countries.\n\nThis is just an idea I got. What do you all think?

Okay, first about the comment above mine about Bush. It is mainly not Bush's fault that this country is in such a mess. It is our own personal doing, we are just too irresponsible to accept that. So don't give me that bull about Bush. You try running a country. Okay. Now to answer the question.\n\nI think that the problems in the US are a whole lot bigger than just money. Yeah, the first step is having money to help, but what we really need is a change on our general outlook on life. We Americans are for the most part very selfish, self centered, and ignorant. If somehow we could somehow all change our values and not consider worldly possesions of so much importance, then we could change the country and make a larger change than money could do. However, since it is technically impossible to do so, if you really want a change, focus on how you bring your children up. My parents did an excellent job bringing me up. Not having a TV, I have grown up entertaining myself by reading and inventing games in my spare time. They have influenced me with the best of their own personal values, which helped me stay out of a lot of the trouble kids got into when I was younger. That is what I think should be done.


Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration

What is the general opinion of the DaVinci Code, book, movie, Theory.

*sigh* Its not all lies.  The history is about 50% true, 40% theory-assumption, and 10% just plain wrong.  The book was very one sided, but more exciting.  I felt the movie was much clearer about what was true and what was theory, therefore being more fair to Christianity.


I believed I knew him well enough to marry him so I said "yes", almost a year ago. But every day, I find out something new (from HIS past life) and I have problems dealing with that. I can't forget thinking about it, because it's really, really dirty. I don't know him and YET, I married him. My english sucks...sorry.

it will be best for you to leave him now as you dont have kids


I crave sugar every day, all day. It's pretty much the only thing I want to eat. My blood sugar level has never been high. Is this normal?

Some people do have a craving such as this with little effect. You must have several blood sugar levels done to rule out diabetes. Glucose tolerance test. \n\nIf you don't have this problem, then not a big deal. Unless there are an adverse effects on you in some way to your health. I hope you are getting the other nutrition as you should to balance some of this.


sadly the Katherine Harris of Ohio, Secretary of State and co-chair of the Bush campaign who we so fondly refer to here at ground zero (Ohio) as J Kenneth Hackwell (Blackwell) received round one of his payback bonus for rigging the election by winning the republican nomination in the primary last night despite the republicans here endorsing the other republican candidate for governor.Round two will come when he wins the governorship (despite them saying the democrat (Strickland) will beat either of the republicans)..mark my words--Blackwell will "win" it..It's depressing...and it got me wondering if people know what happened here since it received next to no coverage nationally.  See Conyers report or  www.freepress.com  (election coverage)and fairnessbybeckerman.blogspot.com \nWhat do you think of vote fraud? Would you like to see hand counted (at precinct) paper ballots? Do you see anyway for citizens to fix it(no--paper trails won't especially if recounts rigged like they were here)

I'm from youngstown Oh residing in Cols Oh now.My mom told me last year that the voting machine during the election were rigged to do the opposite ,pick kerry you get bush vote...she said the screen froze on her and it was stuck displaying bush vote after she hit kerry...and they quickly came and took the machine out....many others had a similar outcome.


I have had two children soes that have something to do with it

not pure sugar, but you can mix the sugar with a potassium powder and put that into model rocket engines and it will launch if you mixed it right.


I have a bachelor of general studies degree with a minor in economics, and concentrations in education and communications.  I spent 6 years working in a classroom with "special needs" children, and have spent the last few years in banking and mortgage lending.  Currently I'm a "Home Loan Advisor" for a nationwide lender.  However, I hate writing loans.  I would really love to find a job where I can use my knowledge and talents to help people.  I was married about a year and a half ago, and have a 9 month old son, so I have to make a decent living.  Does anyone have any ideas?  \nThe other major problem is that I live in the suburbs north of Detroit Michigan...the job market around here is VERY tough...mostly reliant on the auto industry.  \nI would like to get into working for an organization that is dedicated to helping people, but am open to all suggestions.

Why not start up your own website, you work from home but could travel to those who need your skills. Start as a freelance teacher then as you become more successful you could employ more careing people like yourself. Post you service's in local shops, health centers, Local phone books etc.


i hear black people,mexicans,asians,exc... always saying how they are proud to be whatever color they are...and not be called racist...but when a white person says it we are considered racist! if im saying i am better than another color then that is racist,but if im simply saying i am proud to be white/caucasian then that is not!\ni was told earlier by "hunter" that i was racist for having the nickname "proudcaucasion" (and i know its spelled wrong so no grammer police)\nyour thoughts!

HELL NO!!!!  BE PROUD OF WHAT COLOR YOU ARE...YOU HAVENT TRIED TO PUT OTHER RACES DOWN...YOU HAVENT SAID YOU WERE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE...BUT THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME AND DONT GET CALLED RACIST!   THEY ARE MORE RACIST THAN ANY WHITE PERSON (EXCLUDING KKK)    HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN A BUNCH OF WHITE KIDS JUMPING ON A BLACK KID?  NONE!\nHOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN A BUNCH OF BLACK KIDS JUMPING ON ONE WHITE KID?  A BUNCH\nAND THEY CALL US "CRACKERS" AND "GRINGOS OR WEDOS" BUT IF WE SAY NIGGER THEN OOOOHHH NOOOO! ITS ONLY OK IF THEY SAY IT AND NOT US,HUH?\nSO YOU TELL ME WHO IS THE RACIST ONES?


Religous people understand god/allah as a male, which has given men the power to carry out crimes against humanity, women and animals. now what happens if this god /allah reveals itself as a woman ? do you think that our world will then be a gentle and humane place?

Well, as far as I am concerned, God is an idea. The idea of an ideal solution or situation or scenario that is used to prevent us from making any mistakes or commit any sins. God is something or someone symbolising perfectness, merely an idea to keep us fallible humans under check.

Can it be because the Male Lion has more testoserone than the male tiger ??

The lion's sperm is damaged somehow during fertilization and that a growth-inhibiting gene is typically destroyed. Female tigons and female ligers both possess a tiger X chromosome and a lion X chromosome, yet only the female ligers will grow large, which suggests that either something happens to alter the genes or the cause of the growth dysplasia lies at least partially outside of genetics.


help i really need to learn one of these language badly

I believe in God, I pray and I try to be the best person and Mother I can be. I ask for forgivness everynight and talk to God during my day. I am thankful for all I have........BUT I DO curse more than i should, I smoke and I sin. I do not understand why it is fair for me to go to hell with Hitler, child killers/rapist, and evil people. I don't deserve to be put in a catagory with them! Any christians? Please only serious answers. I know this is a dumb question but I've seen worse!!Thanks

WARNING: This is a long response, but you asked for a serious answer. To me serious means long! I hope you are as serious in reading it; and NO it is not a dumb question. First, you did not say that you were a Born again Christian, just that you believe in God. The Apostle James said " Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." So a belief in God is no big deal. I guess you might ask does Christ believe in you? Does He live in union with your spirit and you in Him? For that is all that counts in the end. For many shall come to Him at the end and say Lord, Lord didn't we do all these wonderful things in your name and He will say to them depart from me you evil doers for I never KNEW you. From your letter it appears that you believe you are hell bound rather than heaven bound, which kinda answers my first question as to your being Born again; as Christ promised that no believer will be cast into the lake of fire. No believer (and unfortunately, most non-believers) think that hell is their ultimate destiny. One major difference between the two groups is that believers know they DESERVE the wrath of hell, while unbelievers don't think they do-or don't believe in hell, or think God wouldn't send them to such a terrible place, or many other such erroneous, but hopeful, ideas.\n\nAs regarding the smoking and cursing, they may not be as big of issues as you may think-IMHO, yes,they may be bad habits, but not all bad habits are sin-again IMHO; but you said you sin, without saying what-not that we need to know or want to know, but the point is you recognize your behavior as a falling short of the mark and offending a Holy God. The recognition of that is a good thing. It means you at least have an active conscience and an awareness of your shortcomings, which many lack or fail to acknowledge. That is the main reason for the Law in the Old Testament-to show us that no matter how hard we try, no matter how good we try to be, we cannot please God by our own own self effort. Only one man was able to do so completely and His name is Jesus. Of course, the Romans and the Jews crucified Him, but death could not keep Him in it's grip because it had no right to do so; for the wages of sin is death, He didn't sin -so death had no legal claim on Him. Yet He did die--not for Himself or for any other reason than to atone(cover) for our sins (by His Holy Blood). He died in our place,as it were. And to prove that the Father accepted His atonement and sacrifice He raised Him from the dead after 3 days for all to see. And not only that, but He then  received Him into heaven and seated Him on the highest throne with Himself and gave Him power over all men, angels, demons, life and death. SO, the whole point of that is this: You don't have to go to hell and you don't have to keep any law-thou shall not smoke, thou shall not curse,etc. in order to escape the wrath of God. Christ did it all for you-and everyone else- He paid the penality for your sins-past, present and future. His Blood is sufficient to cover each and every sin that mortal beings could ever conceive and commit; but in order to receive that forgiveness and receive  a new heart and spirit you have to believe in Him, but not just believe in Him acknowledging His existence, but rather  believe INTO Him. (it is the same Greek word-in and into) That's one thing the devils, James referred to, could not do and cannot do; they could believe in Him and in doing so they trembled, but they are not given the opportunity that you and I have to believe INTO Him. To become one with Him- a union like unto marriage, where two become one flesh, but in this case we become one spirit with Him. 1 Corinthians 6:17  "But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit". And all it takes is simple faith-a childlike faith. Romans 10:9  "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believ

These terms were used in A Brief History Of Time so I  don’t know if their just used in that book or in common usage. \nSo, quarks are always joined in sets of three (red, blue and green) via gluons unless it’s a red/anti-red etc.. but I was wondering \n1: is there a difference between a red and blue quark or are they just arbitrary terms for the same thing?\n2: can they be in the form quark gluon gluon quark or is it always quark gluon quark?\n3: does the order matter and is there a set order, so is red-blue-green == red-green-blue?\n4: are the in open or closed strings

In order:\n\n1) Red, blue, and green colour charges are distinct, but arbitrary, exactly like + and - electrical charges.  There is a difference between something positively charged and something negatively charged.  With quarks, it's simply that there are three different kinds of charge, instead of just two for electromagnetism.\n2) Because gluons are, themselves, influenced by the strong force, a correct description of the quantum force diagrams (penguin diagrams, if you know that term) must necessarily include higher order interactions than simply quark <-> gluon <-> quark.  The one you propose is, I believe, possible by the rules governing the quantum behaviour of quarks and gluons, as are many, many more distinct diagrams.\n3) There is no meaningful order.  RBG and RGB are both "colourless".\n4) String theory is outside of my area of expertise, I don't think I can address this issue in any meaningful way.


I have Mixed race freinds a few dont care but the most ive met cosider themselves black and not white and dont think about the white part of them,For example-i watched a show on Genes,where people from all walks of lifes get there genes tested to see about their Ancestory,this British Black dude was hoping to find out about his African past,when the docters tested his Genes they found out he had White European ancestry and he was well pissed off.I think they think it is cool to be deemed black due to the cool black people about and modern music trends,What do you think????P.S it is just what ive witnessed,dont take offence.

I think a big part of it is because back when racism was still an accepted thing by most people and segregation was all over legally if you had a baby that had even one drop of "black blood" in it that baby was legally clasified as black.


I read that from somewhere. If that's true, Da Vinci code and Holy Blood, Holy Grail become lies.

nobody knows what mary was really like. the church slandered her by calling her a prostitute, and sum say she was 12 years younger than jesus. she cud have been wealthy, and she could have been poor. we dont know, and there was no record of her being a poor woman, and just because sum1 says she was rich or poor doesnt make her rich or poor. and if she was, so wat? thats not that big a deal back then. now it wud be disgusting, because so many people are perverts, or just shallow, and cant accept that sum1 may love some1 else who is many years older than them...


why is it when someone starts liking someone..... they always try to take a pic. of the other person or ask for a picture of them?? \n\ni see they guy everyday for 3 hours... but he still wants a pic.? why? he just says because... (and we are "just friends")

Men are visual creatures.  When we have your picture, we feel that we can keep a little part of you with us, even if you are not interested romantically.

My grandma married this man when me and my sister were little. We've never called him grandpa or even gotten really close to him. Now his grandson has got a crush on my little sister. She's weirded out b/c she thinks we're kinda related. No blood relation but is it still considered incest if they get together?

I don't think I would date someone that closely related to me. But it's perfectly legal and moral.


A couple of the joints to my toes on my left foot making popping sounds when I walk. It only seems to happen when I'm barefoot or wearing sandles (or maybe I just can't hear it when I've got sneakers on). It doesn't hurt, it's just real loud. It's really embarrassing when I'm walking through a silent hallway or library and there's a loud popping sound on every other step. I'm young and in good health. Why do my toes pop?

They are out of line go to a chiropractor and have him work on those toes! If u were older i would say it might be u lost the cartilage in your toe joints.

I love both, but wouldn't care to be clubbed over my head and dragged to her cave.\nBut a lady that knows who she is, and can take care of herself, is good, as an equal partner.\nA submissive girl, also has it's share of pleasures, so it's all good.

i have had goldenish, smelly discharge for like a month and itching outside my vagina. no curdling though or painful urination.\n\nalso, when i had sex with my boyfriend, his penis was a little crusty and i know it must be related to this. and deeper in my vagina i had a few chunks of something.\n\ni've looked online and i can't seem to find out what it is. everything else seems to include painful urination or (for yeast infections:) curdling and white/milkish discharge, which i don't have.\n\ni recently had a plastic progestin IUD inserted in my uterus for birth control, i hope it isnt a side affect from that. i've always used condoms before him, since i recently got this inside of me, and i'm wondering if it could be related to some semen staying inside of me.\n\nwould buying a home yeast infection remedy from my local drugstore/grocer/walmart suffice to fix it? even though it may not be one?\ni tried to douche for the first time and that helped the smell for a few days, but now its back.\n\nit

without a clinical examination and given your description of symptoms and recent iud use, my first suspicion would be allergec reaction with no accompanying internal irritation. (i am assuming you would have mentioned persistent discomfort or pain) some type of contamination is also possible (fungal, bacterial, viral) but infections usually present with complaint of pain as well. your complaint of itching leads me to suspect some type of irritation. \nyou should get a physical examination by your primary care physician or a gynecologist. i would hold off on any over the counter treatment, including douching, until a doctor can physically examine you. most will also include baisc std testing as part of the exam.


So I was wondering since many people believe the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, what about all those poor bastards born in far away lands before Christianity and people now that have never heard of the bible or live in remote areas without Christianity, are they all going to hell, and why didn't god give them a chance?

No, they are not all going to Hell and God is giving them a chance.  Acts     17 :  30    And the times of this ignorance  God  winked  at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.  God will not hold anyone responsible for things they knew nothing about but only when you know and still do not do the right thing, then you will pay.  So God has and is giving them a chance as HE knows their heart and if they would have followed Him if they had known about Him.

Okay so I have one for you script writers/programmers out there.\nI have a Powermac that I often take overseas for work.  I would like to know how to have it secretly send a message to an email account, automatically and and random intervals.  It must do this in the background obviously as it would be useless if it just opened up mail automatically and sent the message in the open like that.  Anyhow, I appreciate your help.

Face it: if you're like us your laptop is more important than your car (especially since living in the city you don't even own a car). In an effort to cash in make users feel more safe carrying their investments, Absolute Software licensed the name LoJack to make a LoJack-like system for your portable. Apparently the software installs a silent agent into the machine's BIOS which sends a IP address or phone number upon Internet connection to help identify its physical location in case it should "go missing". (We're not really sure how it pulls the phone digits, though.) A bit different from SkyHook, but hey, LoJack even offers a $1,000 recovery guarantee for your machine so you feel that much more safe cruising around at night with your precious gear. Just don't forget to freaking back up and use decent passwords though, ok? Identity theft totally sucks, and you really don't want to have to get this guy on the case.

I am in the 10th grade and we read the abridged version of Romeo and Juliet and i have to do a power point presentation on a specific aspect of the play  What are some specific aspects tell me in detail

http://www.shakespeare-online.com\nhttp://members.aol.com/liadona2/shakespeare.html?f=fs\n\n\nThere are many factors causing the tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. The following areas may help you:\n\n    * The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets – we learn that this is an "ancient grudge". Tybalt acts because he says that "the honour of my kin" has been insulted. Romeo acts on the death of Mercutio according to the traditional revenge code.\n    * Romeo and Juliet’s love for one another – their passion means that they are only prepared to meet in death. Some argue that their youth makes them foolish and hasty in their actions.\n    * Does fate play a part? There are many references to the stars and fate in the play.\n    * Secrecy – the friar marries the pair in secret leading to dire consequences.\n    * Family will – Capulet wants Juliet to marry Paris "or else". He says:\n\n        …go with Paris to Saint Peter’s church\n        Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither\n\n \n\nIt is not possible to give one character responsibility for the tragedy alone.\n\nthis link will be useful... has a lot of points \nhttp://search.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?q=romeo+and+juliet&x=35&y=8&scope=ksenglish\n\nit depends on what your teacher wants ultimately... \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Classroom/3085/romandjul.html\nanother nice page that might be useful :)\ngood luck with your power point presentation :) cheers :)

The volume meter keeps popping up on the screen, the volume drains to nothing.  If I click to close it, it pops up again.  I keeps interupting when I try to play games like Sims 2.  I have a Dell Inspiron 9200.  It's about 2 and half years old.

I agree that the culprit may be a sticky subtance on the keys.  however, BAD IDEA to use water.  go to the pharmacy and grab the highest percent rubbing alchohol you can find.  the higher the better... it drys faster and if above 90% any charge carrying impurities wont be likely to do any damage if there are any at all.  swab off excess liquid from the Q-tip before applying... use liquid sparingly.\n\nif that doesnt work, try attaching an external keyboard.  Most laptops will disable the main keyboard if it finds that a second one is attached via USB or PS2 cable.  If attaching the keyboard does the trick than your laptop needs service and likely a replacement keyboard and/or cleaning.

I am being asked to save the input from the program as a text ascii file, separated by comma's. I'm lost on this one, please help if you have any suggestions

A comma delimited file, also sometimes called a .CSV file is way to export tablular data into other programs.  "ASCII" is a fancy way to say that the file is a regular txt file.  "comma delimited" means the data is written in a way that each item is seperated by commas\n\nThis is an example of what a comma delimited file might look like:\n\nFirst Name, Last Name, Phone\nJohn, Smith, 555-5555\nMary, Jane, 555-5555\n\nIf for example, the above text was imported into Microsoft Excel, Excel could recognise that the comma means "put this item in a new cell"\n\nhttp://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+comma+delimited&meta=

QURAN SPEAKS ABOUT THE BIRTH OF JESUS PBUH IN (Chapter 3: verse 45-47)\n\n"Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. \n "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." \nShe said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!"\n\n \n\n\nQuran says in chapter 3, verse 59\n"The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was."\n\n\n\n\nQURAN (5:75) "Christ the son of Mary was no more than an Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth.

Is it just me, or does it seam like atheists are a "cult" themselves? Why do they even care what I believe in? \n\nhttp://www.christiantoday.com/news/society/atheist.sues.catholic.church.in.challenge.to.christs.existence/654.htm

yes, atheist are the super power, the almighty, the great minds, the amazing lords, the Divine, the "I make my own path."\n\nIn case you don't know I'm being sarcastic just to prove my point. Look around you. True believers are just, compassionate, humble, and show this simply by doing what is right--yes you will say: who is to say what is right? when you have to hide anything you already know. So never be a liar in your belief as long as it is just, compassionate, humble and chances are you will be right. If not, just ask yourself, what would Jesus have done?\n\nSo, it's not only atheist but fake believers(and there are more of those than there are atheists) that have created this world, and don't blame G-- for it.

to using steroids and the fans love him for his honesty he still cheated to and bonds said he did not willing know giambi knew

First, until you can prove that Barry took steroids or until anyone for that matter comes up with concrete evidence, facts, receipts or whatever that he bought them and took them then get off his back.  Don't believe everything you read and I wouldn't take Jose Canseco's word if you paid me and I sure ain't going to believe what I read in a book with no factual evidence beyond someone heard this from someone else that he took steroids.  It hasn't been proven yet that Barry knowingly took steroids and he admitted to unknowingly taking the cream and the clear which was given to him in a flax seed oil bottle so he doesn't have a problem admitting something cause he admitted to doing that.  The problem is since he is not approachable that the public hates him, maybe he's a private person and wants to be left alone by the media cause he knows they twist everything, personally I like the guy and I'm pulling for him to break the records cause he's a great hitter with great reflexes, steroids don't improve your reflexes or your skill with the bat, just your strength so he's still a prolific hitter with amazing unheard of stats like OBP and slugging percentage.  Giambi, he was honest so that's that, he admitted to taking them and said he was sorry, doesn't forgive everything but I was never a fan of his back when he played with Oakland so it didn't matter to me either way.  But don't be hard on someone like Barry with no facts and then love someone who admitted to taking them and had facts to back it up in Giambi. Go Bonds!!


I met someone online and we've talked for a long time and I really feel love for him - and he says he feels love for me, too. I haven't met him in person yet - I've been putting it off - because I've gained weight since the pictures I sent him were taken. I went through a stressful time in my life which caused my weight to go up -it's fairly innoscent. He should understand (and I'm dieting to get back down to my skinny weight).\n\nIf he doesn't understand, then I don't want anything to do with him anyway. But my question is: should I tell him before I meet him that I gained weight or should I let him find out for himself when we meet this weekend?

40 year old fat guys who live in their mother's basement don't care about a few extra pounds.  Don't worry about it.  He's probably just planning to make a woman suit out of your skin anyway.

You will love Buckingham Nicks solo album. Buckingham Nicks was the self-titled 1973 album recorded by the duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, a few short years before they attained mega-stardom as members of Fleetwood Mac. They didn't know it at the time, but Buckingham Nicks served as their audition tape for the Mac.\n\nThere are copies for sale on eBay but they're rare. Stevie wants it re-released but Lindsey does not, which is weird because it's got great writing and guitar work by him on it. name some other great albums that didn't make it!

I agree that the Buckingham Nicks album is great, it has the original version of Crystal on it. However, the copies on eBay are COPIES! not originals. I bid on one and got a copy. So beware. I have the original vinyl. The LP was being used as the music to test out a studio that Mick Fleetwood was checking out. He liked the music and invited the duo to join up. Where did you find the info on the battle for a re-release of this title. It was originally on Polydor records.

the 1st qin [Qin]  dynasty ruler or the last Shang dynasty ruler or Wudi or Confucious? Daoism & confucianism shared an emphasis on [supernatural or life in this world or social structure or nature? Daoism emphasizes what? [respect for one's family,harmony between the individual/nature, finding the proper place in the social order

Using your words:\n\nDaoism is about nature & life in this world.  Confucious is about social structure.  Daoism emphasizes harmony, confucious one's family & finding proper place in social order.\n\nAnd sorry don't know about the weights


drinking alot of beer the past few years, I have stopped will the extra weight go away with eating right?

Alcohol has just empty calories with no nutritive value at all.  All of these calories add up and cause you to gain weight.  The goal is have a calorie deficit from what your body normailly has.  Eating right can help, but can take a long time, and you do not necessarily have the gratifaction of seeing the weight loss quickly.  A multiplier to your proper diet would be to at least walk (or any physical exercies) for 30 minutes to an hour every day which will help speed up your weight loss, and also just help out with your general health.


You're not a bad guy. You're a great guy if you have been given this great challenge to overcome. Get help, do your best, don't give up on yourself. You're not a bad guy. No matter how bad you feel, you're not a bad guy.

to find threads that lead to an earlier time BEFORE the big bang? Space was there before the big bang. Time does not go to the point of the big bang but bounces off in another direction, possibly to a contracting universe.

A complicated question for sure.  Nobody knows how quantum gravity works, or if it even exists.  Since nobody knows how it works for sure, there is no way to know.  I would expect that if gravity does work on more than 3 dimensions, this is a good way of finding out.  I believe this is a question that will be unanswered for a long time.\n\nPS. this has nothing to do with special relativity!! this is general relativity(not time travel)!!!

"A moon  for the misbegotten" is  a drama by E. O'Neill. There  are two  characters, Josie  and James,  that may  be  classed "misbegotten". The  title,  is  for  both  of  them?

Misbegotten is usually an adjective, and adjectives in English almost always work for both singular and plural, and never change form.\n\nHowever, in this case "misbegotten" is being used as a noun refering to misbegotten people. I'm not familiar with the play, but normally "the (adjective)" is in the plural. (Ex., the French, the disadvantaged) I would guess that the two of them are "the misbegotten".


anyone with this condition pleas give some answers

These are two different things, but both related to trauma, not tumor or neoplasm. Mucocele is when you bite your lip and damage a salivary gland duct of a minor salivary gland, and then the saliva can't get out.  It builds up and becomes a bubble, which is the mucocele.  \nAn oral fibroma is usually caused by biting the inside of the cheek, and the tissue responds by building thicker tissue, which is the fibroma.


What  does it take to work on a relationship that has been ruined by cheating? What does it take to repair love gone wrong? Most would say there isn't any hope for someone who has an affair on you but i tend to disagree. As a child of parents who have been married for 31 years , i realize there are always ups and downs, different to each couple depending on lifestyle. Have you ever cheated and lost someone because of cheating? And what would you do to have them back in your life, do you think it is a possibility?

Yes, I think there is always hope and a possibility, but that depends entirely on both people.  First, as hard as it may be, the first round is accepting what happened as real.  The second round is understanding what and why it happened.  More often than not the real reason one person cheated on another is due lack of attention, meaning the needs of one person were not being met by the other.  As busy as life gets in the world we live in today, there is often not enough time to pay attention to and meet the needs of a partner.  That is why it is said that the quality of time is more important than the quantity of time.  The third round is the hardest, but this is the process of forgiving.  The only way to start over or to repair any damage due to unfaithfulness or infidelity is to forgive.  There are couples that are willing to and able to forgive each other, but then that depends entirely on the two people involved.  Is that what they want?  What do they want? Etc...etc...etc...

so yea im being serious have anyone who wore a jockstrap  has it irratated you or given u  some kind of rash...

Sorry can't help you with that, I've never worn one, but I suggest using a new, sterile one, and getting that rash checked out.  Perhaps buy a smaller, or bigger, one so it doesn't rub or irritate the skin.  But what do I know, I'm a girl!

something that has meaning to it, where I could look at it and always remember you. For example, something that you made would be a great gift, because jewelry can be replaced but the fact that you made an effort for her cant and that means a lot more.


like the opeth or labonic art or ansteral or kromh


there is world citizen passport which can be issued to those who are facing political asylum

You are talking about Stateless Persons.  The international agreement realting to them is below.


Kelly, Justin, Rueben, Clay, Fantasia, Dianna, Carrie, Bo, Katherine, or Taylor..who would you want to see again? Of all of them who would win?

I think this is a great idea - but I'd rather see the 2nd and 3rd place winners, and maybe a few other favourites thrown in (like Chris Daughtrey)


I understand some settings need to be changed in the regisrty, but I don't know which ones.

Delete the Software Distribution Folder, then restart. \n\nTry again.


These politics from the Conservatives are another form of flip-flopping. They say the States are responcible for themselves with their own resources. Is this any different then the Government not helping with the Levies of New Orleans? Does anyone have any sense about this. I am serious, so no trash talk please.

Ho ho ho!  great question!  \n\nThe conservatives are backwards, they cry when they drop the ball, then they cry for help when they want a pass.


we want these questions to be original and fun - not the traditional how old, how far, etc.

I'm a little confused as I was watching TBN Church channel and I noticed that the Pastor said that Jesus is the Begotten Son and the He is GOd. What does the mean? Does it mean that Jesus is two things at once? Please explain your answer without being sarcastic and MUST have knowledge about the religion of Christianity. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, I appreciate it.

This is something that is causing great concern for me as a Pastor.\nThe concept of Jesus is God seems to me to be denying the Father.\nIf it is in reference to , Father, Son and Holy Ghost, saying it in that manner only serves to confuse the person you are talking to.\nAs a Pastor I worship God, the Father,  and serve HIS SON, Jesus Christ.
