is it true that if you have had cervical cancer your chances for having a baby is pretty slim.. i have had it but a mild case of it to a point that it has gone away after 1 1/2yrs... my friend has it and hers is more serious she said that her doctor said when you have had cervical cancer your least likely to bear a child.. im just curious and want to find out.. thanks!

Well when I wa 19 I had ovarian cancer.  They said that I couldnt have kids.  Now 8 years later I have three beautiful children.  You have to belive that miracles can and do happen.  Best of luck to you.


(1) Waving back at someone only to find out they weren't  \n    waving at you\n(2) Waving at someone who turned out to be a complete \n    stranger\n\ngive reasons if u like   :)

i think 2. because if you wave at a complete stranger, they might think u r a little wierd. but if you wave at sum 1 that didnt wave at you, at least its probibally some 1 u no. so they will wave back.


it pretty much rocks. if you like asking/answering questions go there


I mean, the client is sometimes so irritating and stuborn, but this use to happen sometimes with the relation with your boss. \nSo, who have you feel is more dificult to deal with?\n\n(I'm not that person who is always complaining, believe me.\nIs just that rigth now i'm kind of bored of both.)

The boss is worse, because the client may not know about your industry and will have misinformed or ignorant requests.\n\nHowever the boss is supossed to know what you are working with, and if he is bad, then you are condemned to suffer...

About how long can i expect to form an LLC in NY?\n\nDo you think you made the right decision as opposed to inc?\n\nAny good advice when starting one?\n\nThe bussness would be either 1 or 2 owners with possible employees.

The difference between an LLC and Inc (Corporation) are actually legal differences and you won't really know if you made a right decision unless you get sued :-) \n\nI would talk with a CPA about Incorporating or forming an LLC. They would be able to explain not only the states definition but also if you need to file an Entity Election and possible a Sub-S Election with the IRS. Don't forget that even when you form an LLC or Corporation with the state you may still be taxed as a Sole Proprietor by the IRS unless you file to correct elections, meaning you are liable for taxes as the person, not as a corporation. With more than one owner... trust me that could get a little hairy.

I was at a concert tonight at a church we used to go to, so I missed American Idol tonight.  I know that Kenny Rogers was supposed to perform, and obviously someone was voted off tonight, but that is all I know about tonight's episode.  I am a HUGE American Idol fan, so I just have to know what happened tonight.

Kenny Rogers sang his new song.  Mandisa was voted off.  Bottom three were Mandisa, Elliott, and Paris.  I love McFever, Kellie Pickler and Chris.


Me and this girl we got so close and started calling each other sister. but we were'nt. we ended up in an arguement over something really stupid. we were cussin each other out and everything. it was so crazy. i messed up her website and stuff like that and she got really mad. she got all up in my face and tried to tell me off in front of everybody, she wanted to fight me, she tried to steal my boyfriend, she tried to make everybody turn against me because she didnt like me, and she didnt like any of my friends. we didnt talk to each other for a long long time. nobody likes her and her so called best friend is movin and they almost got to fightin today. now she came crawling back to me and wants me to be her friend. what should i do?? please help me.

Disconnect from her. She isn't healthy to be around. Some people are like a fungus and grow from the damp rank odors of drama and hurt feelings.\n\nPlease don't make yourself a victim of stupidity and high school drama. Tell her you have things to do and that you might consider being her friend again, but you need time to think.\n\nLet her know that you mean business. If she messes up again, there will BE NO TALKING. Forgiveness can go as far as you want it to - reconstruction of a relationship: Well, that is a whole 'nother story.

I'm writing a Comparision/Contrast essay on traditional classes vs. online classes can anyone give me some ideas one this?

Some of the differences I myself have found between the two kinds of classes are these;\n\n1. In traditional classes you have the interaction with other classmates and your teacher that you don't get online. I always really, TRULY enjoyed being able to drop by my teachers' offices and discuss subjects with them and this is something you just can't do online. \n2. Study groups aren't available to you online like you can get together with in a traditional classroom setting. Being able to share ideas and compare thoughts and theories with other people who are going thru the same materials as yourself really can be a great help in grasping concepts .\n3. Not being able to participate in open classroom discussions is a big loss with online learning tht is a big bonus in  open classrooms. Like mentioned earlier, others' insights can be of great benefit when study difficult concepts.  Others' feedback is important too.


I have heard of this product called Juice Plus.  I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried it and if you have is it any good?

It’s the one recommendation in almost every diet plan, every guide to nutrition, every fitness book. Even organizations such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the World Health Organization, the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the American Heart Association, and the American Cancer Society agree. But as much as it’s preached, most people still don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables every day.


I need this information to be added into my chemo diary, and published soon.  Anyone that answer the question are highly appreciated.

As far as a blood test determining triglyceride levels is concerned, for 12 to 14 hours before the test, only water is permitted.\n\nOvernight fasting is essential for an accurate measurement of blood triglycerides!\n\nIn addition, alcohol should not be consumed for the 24 hours just before the test.\n\nYou are also not supposed to take any vitamin supplements 24 hours prior to your fasting blood work. If you are currently on antihistamines, antibiotics or cortisone treatment only, you need to call the lab or your doctor for more information on how to proceed.\n\nAnything taken in, other than water, during that time can elevate the blood triglycerides as they change dramatically in response to meals. Without the proper fasting, they can easily be high enough to prompt your doctor to prescribe drugs.\n\nHowever, even fasting levels may vary considerably day to day. Therefore modest changes in fasting triglycerides measured on different days are not considered to be abnormal.\n\n(Note:  Researchers from Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Missouri have found that high triglycerides block leptin - a hormone secreted by our fat cells - from getting into the brain by impairing its transportation system (Diabetes, 2004: May).\n\nAs a result, leptin cannot do its work in turning off feeding and burning calories.\n\nIn other words, high triglycerides make the brain "think" the body is starving so we keep eating and... gaining weight. This is probably one of the reasons why so many people are becoming obese.\n\nBy lowering triglycerides then, we could help the body's own leptin to work better so we could get skinnier avoiding heart problems, cancer and diabetes - common chronic diseases linked to obesity.)

We both didnt plan on this i never thought i would lik him this way.2 months ago my bf broke up with me bc he was tired of fighting. so i agreed but he wanted me back the next day, I said no bc it wasnt the first time we brokeup. & im tired of the fights etc. He told me he would change & he has but i cant be with him bc i cant forget the past,& i like his friend and want 2 give him a chance.My ex bf found out about him liking me & hasnt talked 2 him since.He says he wont til his friend says he wants nothing with me.

i told my boyfriend i love him and he said ok.i know he loves me but i think he either afraid kor not ready to say it so wat to do.i really hate waiting to hear it.

Ask him how he feels about you and think about how long yall been dating. Think about why you love him cuz alot of ppl be sayin they love somebody and cant back it up with the reason why they love that person. Think about all the things yall have done together and do yall enjoy each. Think about your relationship structure and have you ever been in a relationship with somebody that you said you loved before and what was their outcome. Ask him how he felt about you saying that to him and why he said ok instead of saying it back. Ask him about his past and has he ever been heart by someone who he thought he loved.\n\nThats it my wrist is gettin tired but good luck though.


Many of the questions in here have gone along the lines of: 'what are the chances of conditions on earth having come to be suitable for life?  They're so infintesimally small that there's no way it could have come about "by chance"!'  The same argument (along with diversions about things like watch makers) is frequently made about evolution.\n\nFor the moment, I'll set aside anthropic bias, an over-emphasis on the importance of genetic mutation in later evolution, the (frankly rather strange one) about the continued presence of apes in the world, and the bit about how micro-evolution is a completely different ball-game. There will be plenty of future questions to look at these.\n\nWhat puzzles me is that, if one believes that the theories of evolution, and of the formation of the universe that provided the conditions in which it took place, are too unlikely to be credible, doesn't the existence of an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, intelligent being seem like a bit of a long shot?

there is evidence of God. look at some of the crazy things that happen that just don't seem possible. and what about the Bible? If you can't believe a Book that is the Word of God, how can you believe anything? even science, since man came up with it and man is not perfect? if there is a God (and I believe there is) than it only makes sense that He be perfect. but man is not. I personally would trust God any day.


My friend said if I go out with her ex boyfriend she wont talk to me any more,,,but i realy like this guy but I dont wanna loose her as a friend what do I do...?

that depends on how much you value the friendship , and yes she could let it go if the friendship was important to her . so from a woman's perspective (been there , and done that) i say that friends are forever and guys aren't worth it . i now have a rule that i won't date anyone that has dated someone i know . (even if it has been years)

The insurance co. that i was doing business with has changed hands about 3 times, and my policy paid for itself when I set it up.After 5 yrs. if the file is not active, it goes into archives, still nothing, tried to back track it through pay outs after my wife was shot and killed, and those only go back 10 yrs., so bottom line they said I don't exist, after all this time thinking that I was insured and my two daughters would be taken care, they get nothing! Is this normal practice, or is this outfit trying to pull a fast one?? What can I do?

Since the policy was paid up, it is still valid.  Unless the company that sold it ended up in the hands of an insolvent insurer (which is very highly unlikely) there is a successor company out there somewhere.  \nThe best place to find out is the state insurance trade association of your state.  Their member insurance companies will likely know who the successor company is.  And, if that company refuses to pay out, you should contact the insurance department in your state.  They will contact the successor and force them to pay the policy.

why in an old episode of the simpsons did homer refer to the dallas cowboys as americas team and frown on getting the broncos?

the simpson's epsidode was in the early 1990s, shortly after dallas had won two superbowls.  at the time, the broncos had lost 4 superbowls, each by more points than the last.  \n\npersonally, i hate both teams, but i hate the broncos more.

and that he also slew his father.  Are we learning from Gods mistakes when he says not to do things like that in his ten commandments?  Is God the ultimate hypocrite?

I would say no.  First look at the source of the text.  All texts are set down by humans and therefore even if divinely inspired are subject to human fault. \n\n Then take into account which texts you are mixing.  You have the 10 commandments which are a pretty good guide to running a community or nation, simple compact given at one point in time.  Then other texts that are from different time periods, and different writers.  Even if inspired by God is it really likely that God has a brother and sister, or are these just negative examples given for human learning?\n\nEven so, does it make someone hypocritical to as another to learn from his/her mistakes.  A hypocrite in my definition is one who continues to do an action he/she thinks is negative.  If it was once done and not repeated it is simply good advice.  Not hypocritical.\n\nAnd Moe, if he is talking of earlier scriptures that would be referring to old testament and before, which has nothing to do with Jesus.  Jesus actually had many brothers and sisters from Mary and Joseph.

i am looking for historic data on the relationship of home purchase price vs interest rates

I agree with VATreasuries, whom I will say has a very appropriate user name.\n\nHigher interest rates affect the monthly amount of money that people need to debt service a property.  Essentially, if money costs more... their costs are higher accordingly.\n\nOther factors like taxes & hazard insurance have similar effects (we Floridians know this all to well) restricting value.  Herein Monthly Costs.\n\nWhen these Monthly Costs exceed pace of income growth to where they become a higher ratio of gross income needed to service monthly... property values tend to recede.\n\nThese past years have arguably been an anomoly... largely because of an influx of investment dollars into real estate holdings.

Which of these steps are appropriate in the procedure for giving iron dextran injection (Imferon)?

THE Z-TRACK METHOD of I.M. injection prevents leakage of irritating and discoloring medications (such as iron dextran) into the subcutaneous tissue. It also may be used in elderly patients who have decreased muscle mass. Lateral displacement of the skin during the injection helps seal the drug in the muscle. \n\nWhen preparing to give a medication using this method, make sure the needle you're using is long enough to reach the muscle. As a rule, you'll need to use a 2-inch needle for a 200-lb (91-kg) patient, and a 1 1/4-inch to 1 1/2-inch needle for a 100-lb (45-kg) patient. \n\nGather the equipment you'll need, verify the order on the patient's medication administration record (MAR) by checking it against the prescriber's order, wash your hands, and follow these steps: \n\n* Attach one needle to the syringe and draw up the prescribed medication. Remove the first needle and attach the second to prevent tracking the medication through the subcutaneous tissue as you insert the needle. \n\n* Confirm the patient's identity, explain the procedure, and provide privacy. \n\n* Place the patient in the lateral position, exposing the gluteal muscle to be used as the injection site. \n\n* Put on gloves and displace the skin laterally by pulling it away from the injection site. (See Figure 1.) \n\n* Clean an area on the upper outer quadrant of the patient's buttocks with an alcohol pad and let it dry. \n\n* Insert the needle into the muscle at a 90-degree angle and aspirate for blood return. (See Figure 2.) If none appears, inject the drug slowly. If blood appears, withdraw the needle and start the procedure over with a new syringe and needle at a different site. \n\n* Wait 10 seconds, withdraw the needle slowly, and release the displaced skin and subcutaneous tissue to seal the needle track. (See Figure 3.) Don't massage the site or let the patient wear a tightfitting garment over it because that could force the medication into subcutaneous tissue. Encourage him to walk or move about in bed to facilitate absorption of the drug from the injection site. \n\n* Discard the needle and syringe in an appropriate sharps container. \n\n* Remove and discard your gloves. \n\nPractice pointers \n\n* Never inject more than 5 ml of solution into a single site. If the patient needs repeated injections, alternate gluteal sites. \n\n* Intramuscular injections can cause elevated serum enzyme levels. If measuring enzyme levels is important, suggest that the prescriber switch to LV. administration and adjust dosages accordingly.\n\n* Document the injection: Record the medication, dosage, date, time, and site on the patient's MAR. Include the patient's response to the injected drug.

we will also live on earth for 1000 years while He rules, His kingdom. Does that mean we have two homes, as Christians? What did He mean?

Heaven is actually a temporary place where for Christians to dwell in. In the book of Revelation it says that there will be a new heaven and a new earth. There is a city of God in heaven, the new Jerusalem, that will come down to the new earth where all belivers will eventually live forever. See Rev chapter 21. you don't hear most preachers tell you this but there it is in the scriptures. Remember that the current heaven has been corrupted by satan and his angels and the current earth is under the curse from the fall of Adam and Eve. When all things have been restored as God intended then the New Jerusalem comes in to the picture.


I believe in God and have been raised to follow his way, but for the past 5-7 yrs I have made so many wrong choices and lived life in a way that I know is horriably wrong. For the one good decision I would make...I would make 5 bad in return. I guess my question would be, will God accept a "so called christain" as "back-sliden" as I have been?  I have regressed to someone worse than I was before knowing God and I can not understand how or why I let this happen, but I want to be a better person and I don't want to live life like this.

I accepted Christ in junior high school and then spent about 6-8 years being the ultimate prodigal son. \n\nI did all the drugs possible, drank like a goldfish, swore like a sailor, and was generally a very nasty, ugly person.\n\nHowever, in my heart there was a void that could not be filled, despite all of my best attempts to fill it with things like drugs, sex, etc. That void was meant for God, and only He could fulfill me.\n\nMy answer is yes, God will take you back, no matter where you may have gone. I suggest you read Luke 15, and the three parables Jesus tells, just as a starting point.\n\nNo matter how far you try to run from God, you find out God runs pretty darn fast, and He doesn't get tired easily :)


I used to be an avid reader and in recent years (since finishing uni and starting full-time employment) have found it impossible to finish a book? I miss it.

Im gonna have it done under local anaesthesia and Im in terrible fear and panic! For those of u who had ur wisdom tooth removed, what can u do to ensure the procedure goes smoother? (Sedation and general are not available at my dentist, btw)

My problem is the sound of the tools, the drill, the water, the suction.  I hate the small talk they dentist have over you...so what I do is bring a CD/MP3 player.  That way I have music to calm me and I don't really hear with is going on around me....\n\nI was able to be put to sleep during the removal of my wisdom teeth so that was great for me!!!\n\nI hope all goes well!


Just yesterday my friend just asked me out. I don't know what to do. He's not the hottest but he's one of the nicest. My friends don't like him at all. He's now mad because I haven't answered. If I do say yes I don't know what to tell my friends. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's asked me out twice and I keep saying no.

well if you really like him does it matter what your friends think? just follow your heart and it will lead you down the right path. i hope you make the right decision because it sounds like this guy really likes you.  just try it!!!! nothing will happen and if you really and truly like him and you want to stay with him tell your "friends" that they should accept him and if they refuse tell them " hey f**k off!" and just ditch their assiz if they don't like him but you do and their willing to give you up for a reason like that their not true friends. hope you take my advice and god bless!

Do you believers agree that atheists should be persecuted?\ni mean if we are also human beings and if we r capable of respecting a believer can't you display tolerance towards us?

I'm British so maybe shouldn't get involved with your countrys politics, but as a believer, no I don't think atheists should be persecuted, or anyone for their beliefs. Most of my friends and family are not Christians and we respect each other's beliefs.


Thing is, I would have to drive for 1 hour to get to school and spend about $80 a week in gas... To YOU is it worth it? Should I do it?

You need to weigh what you have to do now against the result in the end.  Can you afford it?  Some people spend much more than that for college.  If that is what you want to do with your life, and you can afford it, go for it.  There is nothing like going to work and enjoying what you do, regardless of the pay.

The difference in us and uk gallons boils down to the pint, they are the same measurement, four quarts, eight pints, it's the basic pint that changes the measure. fluid ounces and dry ounces have the same basis and in both systems an ounce equates to 28.8 grammes or 28.8 ml Given the origin of the system in the uk it appears the U.S. adopted the original system and we altered ours. Americans use a 16oz pint and given that there are 16oz in a pound it would appear that the British pint increased in size at some point, when and why?

In England, the Winchester standards were used since the 15th Century. They were slowly modified, as usual: at the beginning of the 18th Century, we had a wine gallon containing 231 cubic inches, an ale gallon of 282 cubic inches and even a corn ("Winchester") gallon. The bushel was defined at a time as "any round measure with a plain and even bottom, being 18.5 inches wide throughout and 8 inches deep" (hence its official US definition : 2150.42 cu.in.)\n\nThe Weights and Measures Act of 1824 defined an Imperial British Gallon to replace all others : it was to contain 10 pounds of pure water at 62°F (possibly inspired by the decimal system) (= 4.54609 liters). \n\nAt the same time in the US, the old wine gallon (also called Queen Anne's gallon) just discarded in England became the new official US Gallon (= 3.785411784 liters).\n\nAt least in England, they had a common system for liquid and dry measures thereafter.\n\nIn the US, there are two systems : for liquid measures, the base is the US Gallon just mentioned. The dry measures are based on the old Winchester Gallon (= 4.404884 liters) or 268.8025 cubic inches.\n\nFYI, general measures of capacity:\n\n2 gills = 1 cup \n2 cups = 1 pint \n2 pints = 1 quart \n2 quarts = 1 pottle \n2 pottles = 1 gallon \n2 gallons = 1 peck \n4 pecks = 1 bushel \n3 bushels = 1 bag \n12 bags = 1 chauldron or chaldron


Non-believers state that Christians are intollerant, however for every Christian based question asked on the forum there are a thousand answers cursing or ridiculing the Christian thought. Who is intollerant of who?  It is obvious non-Christians are intollerant as they chose not to tolerate that belief of others. If you truly believe there is no God, why are you so angry at Christians. Leave us to our belief and ignore our questions or comments as they should not affect you the way they do, because according to you there is no God.  \n\nChristians get ridiculued for believing in Christ, however non-christians chose to belief they evolute from monkeys. Why didn't all the monkeys evolute then? Why aren't humans evolving into something else?\n\nLeave me to my Christian beliefs and I will leave you to yours, however ridiculous they might be. I will however pray that you get introduced to the power and love of Christ.

I agree. i think that they are mad at us christians b/c we preach to them, they get mad at me for saying this sometimes: I know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.c...


Spritual beliefs withstanding... how could a person be relatively sure suicide will end their suffering?

some people are in so much pain, either physical or emotional, that they think that anything would be different...\n\nsometimes people are not so much thinking about ending suffering, rather escaping from themselves.\n\ni've seen plenty of death in my time and as far as i'm concerned they're not suffering.  this is especially noticable if the person was in a lot of pain beforehand.

I want to tell my parents, but they are already p.o. at me, so i"m afraid. What should I do?

Glasses do break for whatever reason.  Your parents may be mad at you for something else, but unless you intentionally broke you glasses, accidents happen!  Obviously you need to get them fixed, don't be afraid to tell your parents!  They can't be that unreasonable!  Not wearing your glasses because they are broke is much worse for you than your fear of telling your parents, cause you can't replace your eye sight!

what the benefit of eating it , and if it has disadvantage,

If you're talking about the fruit "currant," why are you asking about it in the Physics section?  If you're talking about electric "current," I would suggest not eating it.


I'm looking for someone and they called from 479 251 8270.

The area code 479 came from Ft. Smith Arkansas.Other then that just call that number and see what you can find out.


If he was with someone he claimed he loved and she loved him back and they were in a 2-year relationship.

Unfortunately..not until she is gone. We all make that mistake. If you really love her and she still loves you...GO GET HER. You can work it out. The main thing is YOU LOVE EACH OTHER...everything else is 'details'...and details CAN be worked out. Just be glad you realized it now and may have a chance to fix things. What's the worse thing that could happen? She could say 'no'. I think it's a chance you have to take. Be honest with her...and yourself.


I am tired of shutting it down manually.  If I to to shutdown it gets hung and never shuts down.\nThanks for your time if you know how to help me.

i want to know like what they are, like is it silk or rice or whatever.

China is one of the world's major mineral-producing countries. Coal is the most abundant mineral (China ranks first in coal production); high-quality, easily mined coal is found throughout the country, but especially in the north and northeast. There are also extensive iron-ore deposits; the largest mines are at Anshan and Benxi, in Liaoning province. Oil fields discovered in the 1960s and after made China a net exporter, and by the early 1990s, China was the world's fifth-ranked oil producer. Growing domestic demand beginning in the mid-1990s, however, has forced the nation to import increasing quantities of petroleum. Offshore exploration has become important to meeting domestic needs; massive deposits off the coasts are believed to exceed all the world's known oil reserves.\n\nChina's leading export minerals are tungsten, antimony, tin, magnesium, molybdenum, mercury, manganese, barite, and salt. China is among the world's four top producers of antimony, magnesium, tin, tungsten, and zinc, and ranks second (after the United States) in the production of salt, sixth in gold, and eighth in lead ore. There are large deposits of uranium in the northwest, especially in Xinjiang; there are also mines in Jiangxi and Guangdong provs. Alumina is found in many parts of the country; China is one of world's largest producers of aluminum. There are also deposits of vanadium, magnetite, copper, fluorite, nickel, asbestos, phosphate rock, pyrite, and sulfur.\n\nExports:$583.1 billion f.o.b. (2004 est.)\nExports - commodities:machinery and equipment, plastics, optical and medical equipment, iron and steel\nExports - partners:US 22.8%, Hong Kong 16.2%, Japan 12.4%, South Korea 4.4%, Germany 4% (2004)\nImports:$552.4 billion f.o.b. (2004 est.)\nImports - commodities:machinery and equipment, oil and mineral fuels, plastics, optical and medical equipment, organic chemicals, iron and steel\nImports - partners:Japan 16.1%, Taiwan 10.9%, South Korea 10.4%, US 7.7%, Hong Kong 7.4%, Germany 5.4% (2004)\n\nGood luck!

I say YES, in many districts they had more votes than voters.\nOhio was given to Bu$h by 136,483 votes. 110,000 votes were thrown out by Blackwell's office. I see this case headed for Court as Election Fraud. All total their were 247,672 votes not counted at all.\n    *  Ohio-based Diebold’s former chairman pledged to deliver victory for President Bush in Ohio in 2004\n    * Blackwell buys almost $10,000 shares of Diebold stock.\n    * Blackwell issued a directive saying all Ohio counties must have Diebold machines.  He says his office had negotiated a great deal for the new Diebold touch-screens.\n    * Diebold makes $50,000 donation to Blackwell’s political interests.

Fixed, cemented, and sealed all in one foul swoop!!! We have not had a democracy for a very long time...if ever, and the people with money have the power. I disagree with the person that said we live in a communist state...We are living in a feudalistic state!!!


My ex wants me to pay her lawyer's bill when I believe that we could have worked things out without the court or with mediation. Her lawyer charges about $200 an hour and I just can not afford it. What type of motion or entry to the court should I make.

It's up to her to prove her entitlement to the payment, so you need to answer her pleading.  File an answer to her request for attorneys' fees and request a hearing from the Court.


Where's my mystic crystal revelations I was promised?\n\nFifth Dimension you lied to me!

Did you miss the bowl of acid when they passed it around?\nHere, have one of mine!


Have hired a CNA which has let her licence expire; needs to renew same but having difficulty in finding a phone no,email, fax no or anything to do this!!!!

Most professional licenses are regulated by the state. from your hairdresser to your realtor to your nurse so I would go to your state's website and see if you can find their office of professional licensure. good luck.


Why does it seem like anytime someone mentions racism it's about African Americans?  I have a hard time finding books on racism in other races.  Why does it seem like everyone is ok with racism against Asians?  I found this to be the order of biggest racist offenses to the smallest=>black/latino/asian/white  Shouldn't all racism be bad? (I'm asian, and nobody seems to care if i am called a gook/chink)

The reason it is so is very simple.  There is no So-called Asian community leader with a mouth as big as loud as Jessie Jackson and/or Al Sharpton.  These two jackasses exploit black people and use every event to cry racism.  Just get you a couple of those and you will be set...


thanx in advance!!\n\nspecially acidified KMnO4

You don't have to 'get' equivalent weights of substances, its very simple to calculate them.\n\nFirst of all, you need to calculate the molecular wt or know the atomic wt of the compound or element you're dealing with.\n\nThe general formula for the equivalent wt of a compound is \n\nEquivalent weight = Atomic or molecular wt/ x\n\nx has different definitions in different contexts:\n\nIf for an element, x is the valency\n\nEg- E.W. of magnesium = 24/2 = 12\n\nIf for an ion, x is the number of units of charge\n\nEg- E.W. of Al+3 ion = 27/3 = 9\n\nIf for a compund, x is the total amount of formal charge present on the cation/anion, i.e. the number of ions multiplied by the charge on each radical.\n\nEg- For NaCl, the value of x would be 1\n    For MgSO4, the value of x would be 2\n    For AlCl3, the value of x would be 3\n    For Ba3(PO4)2, it would be 6,...\n\nIf for an acid, x is the basicity(no. of ionizable H+ ions)\n\nEg - 1 for HCl, 2 for H2SO4,..\n\nThe same applies for a base, x is the no. of ionizable OH- ions.\n\nNow for KMnO4 (acidified or not),\n\nThe molecular wt is 39+55+64 = 158\n\nThe value of x is 1\nSo the E.W. is 158/1 = 158\n\nHowever, if you are interested in the E.W. of Mn in KMnO4, which is more relevant in redox reactions(using acidified KMnO4), calculate the oxidation state of Mn first. It comes out to be +7.\n\nSo the E.W. is 55/7


AI- artificial intelligence or cyborgs . I mean there are strange strange people everyday,everywhere you go ... but does anyone truley believe or open to the thought of such as being reality and daily occurance?? If so - what area do u live in? Also how can you distinguish between the 'humans' humanoids, aliens,cyborgs or whatever the title or category name is for that species or kind....And if you have had contact do you let them know u know or vise versa- oh yeah- hybrids' i think is the latest terminolgy- if u do believe or experienced  such is there a "message"!??Also if u have any links that are not all dostored up and phoney- to which u believe somewhat validates your experience please let me know. THANK YOU!!!

There is a theory that the human race was "seeded" by a race from another galaxy.  In fact, there is controversy surrounding the use of the name "elohim" in the old bible, which some claim is the name of the race that fathered us, and not one of the first names given to God by man.\n\nIf this is true, then we are all "aliens".  how cool is that?!


I received my 4 year degree (graduating Magna Cum Laude) in Interpersonal Communications in December of 04 (I am 24 now) which leads you into a Human Resource position,  but I am finding that NO ONE wants to hire someone without experience. I have gotten close a few times, ok, once, but they wanted someone with experience. How can you get exerpience without someone letting you earn it? I am at my wits end. I am now in purchasing, which is ok, but its not my first choice. What do I do to get companies interested in hiring me?

My girlfriend is majoring in Psychology and can get internships in HR at many different places. So that's one way you could rack up experience. \n\nOther than that, I'm sure if you worked your way up through purchasing, or through another position at a different job, you could possibly transfer to HR after you have tenure.\n\nJust some thoughts...


I've long been bugged by this,\n\nIs it correct to say that if i want an image with 500dots per inch quality.\n\nAnd at the same time, i also want an image size to be 416 x 416 pixels.\n\nDoes it mean that one pixel is equivalent to one dot? Is it mandatory?\n\nDoes this means that i will get an image with physical size in respect to inches as 416/500 = 0.832 inch.\n\nI'm in a dilemma because of this, can somebody help me, because i need to crop this image from a paper scan, the region 08 0.832 inch will be too small to fit a fingerprint image in it.\n\nWhat is dithering, can i apply that in my solution?

It's just simple: Dot Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement for printer while Pixels Per Inch (PPI) is measurement for Video Output (Monitor). They are used for different purpose.\n\nAs for printing a 416x416 pixels picture in 500 DPI, it is not affecting the image physical size itself. It will still print image with the size of 416x416 physically\n\n\n>Is it correct to say that if i want an image with 500dots \n>per inch quality. And at the same time, i also want an \n>image size to be 416 x 416 pixels.\n\nYes, there is no fault in it. You just reques the image to be printed in a certain size and certain resolution, they aren't related to each other.\n\n\n>Does it mean that one pixel is equivalent to one dot? \n>Is it mandatory?\nNo, it is not. One pixel does not equal to one dot that way. If you request an image with (One inch in pixel) DPI, you'll get one dot per one pixels.\na 500 DPI image just means that in each one physical inch size of them, there is 500 dots that make the pictures up.\n\nPixel is not equal to dot. Pixel is value of the height and/or width of one tiny thing in the monitor screen, while dot is one tiny thing in Printed image.\n\n>What is dithering\nDithering is the combining of the limited pallete color to  visually produce colors that is not in the pallete. For example, most Printer only have four colors  that is black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. If the printer is told to print color that is not in that base color, they will need to combine several different color in a pattern so that human eyes distinguish it as the wanted color. For more info, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither (tips: you may want to jump directly to the bottom, to the image dithering section and skip the voice dither)\n\n>can i apply that in my solution?\nYes, in fact, all printers use dithering even if we don't tell them to. If they are forced to not use dithering, their image quality would be horrible since they can then only use  four color. Imagine seeing a picture that consist of BCMY colors only, they're horrible.

also, what about the inverted pink triangle to lesbians?

For lesbians, it's actually a black triangle...gay men are the pink triangle.\n\n"The Black Triangle was used to identify "socially unacceptable" women in concentration camps by the Nazis. Lesbians were included in this classification. Since then lesbians have appropriated the Black Triangle as a symbol of defiance against repression and discrimination as gay men have similarly appropriated the Pink triangle."\n\nThe first rainbow flag was used in 1978 and actually had 8 stripes, as opposed to the present day one which uses 6. The colors were assigned specific meaning:\n\nred - life \norange - healing \nyellow - sunlight \ngreen - nature \nblue - serenity \nviolet - spirit \n\nSometimes, a black stripe is added symbolizing those in the community that have died from AIDS.\n\nUsing a rainbow makes sense because the rainbow is a symbol of diversity.\n\n"The use of rainbow flags has a long tradition; they are displayed in many cultures around the world as a sign of diversity and inclusiveness, of hope and of yearning. This denotation goes back to the rainbow as a symbol of biblical promise, and the use of all the colours of the rainbow symbolises all flags in one."

when there is an annihilation of an electron by a positron, two gamma photons are created.\ndo the electron and positron cease to exist?, and if so, doesn't that interfere with the law of the conservation of matter???

Electron-positron annihilation is the process that occurs when an electron (which is matter) and a positron (which is antimatter) collide. If they are both relatively at rest (which happens in an exotic but not uncommon form of matter called positronium), they destroy each other upon contact, and produce two gamma ray photons of 511 keV each which are emitted in opposite directions. If they are moving at different relative velocities, the energies of the photons emitted will be higher, in accordance with the conservation of momentum. [At higher relative velocities, other particle-antiparticle pairs can also be produced, since there is enough kinetic energy in the relative velocities to provide for the masses of those particles. At much higher relative velocities, there may be enough energy to produce a single neutral Z-boson. The opposite process is known as pair production or matter creation.]\n\nOf course, both the electron and the positron cease to exist, as their masses are converted to energy (E = mc^2), which is the energy of the two resultant photons.\n\nThere is no separate law of conservation of matter (or, mass). Actually, it goes together with the law of conservation of energy, under the name 'mass-energy conservation'. And this conservation of mass-energy, as well as the conservation of momentum, both hold during the process of annihiltion.

Americans are not only prejudiced and arrogant to foreigners, but they are also against each other for example black and white. Why do prejudism and discrimination still exist in America?

I don't think this is a strictly american syndrome, and i hold no hatred twoards foreigners. We have social programs specifically help minorities/ ie affirmative action NAACP etc. And we are teh only superpower so I think that the superiority complex is innate. As far as discrimination and predjudice, I was in france and had a discussion with some french dude about why they all hate blacks, who moved to france from french colonies in africa. Also, look at Iraq, Sudan, and who can forget slobodan milosevic, in serbia...where not only do they hate ethnic groups but they assasinate them. So I guess in conclusion it is not a American issue but a human issue and I am farily certain it occurs in all racially diverse countries. Maybe the majority/ruling party likes using minorities as scape goats. Anyways dont hate on Americans, at least we try.


I've been looking in my history books for the place where I read one of the writers of the Constitution was part of a group called the Philosophes.  \n\nThe philosophes reasoned you did not have to believe in God in order to be morally good, or something like that.  Anyway, I was trying to pinpoint whether or not Christianity was the governing religion in that group of writers, or were there other religions represented by the writers of the Constitution.

De Jaucourt, Denis Diderot... loads of others -- they wrote the world's first Encyclopedia during the Englightenment period (rather than having exactly the same philosophy).  They were supported by Catherine The Great and Frederick the Great among others.\n\nAround the year 1000 there was the Third crusade and the Schism.  Eastern Orthodox Christianity broke with Rome and the Pope, leaving two super religions -- Islam and Roman Christianity.... and so it remained until the 1500s, when there was a second schism -- the Protestant Reformation.\n\nThere was throughout, a feeling of confidence that the Eastern Orthodox Church was a temporary schism, and there was no particular ill-feeling or bad-blood.  The easterners were a small minor group in comparison.  Despite the Crusades and wars between Moslems and Roman Christians, they were united in hatred and suppression of the Jews, and most of the time the two co-existed.\n\nThe biggest event was the Protestant Reformation, this was earth-shattering, and caused a lot of bloodshed and ill-feeling that remains to this day.  The Puritan Pilgrim Fathers that sailed to North America is a perfect example of religious intolerance and persecution that resulted in the catacombs, priest holdes, Huguenots and ripped through mainland European Politics like nothing before or since.\n\nSome believe that THE PROTESTANT V CATHOLIC situation WAS SO BAD that the RESULT WAS to avoid it all and get involved in the SCIENCES and new Philosophies - "The Best of All Possible Worlds" in the age of Reason/ the Enlightenment/ the beginnings of the Scientific Age and The Industrial Revolution/ British Empire of the 1700s.\n\nThis is also the period in which you seem to have an interest -- the Constitution of the United States of America.  \n\nI can assert with some confidence that there would be no Eastern Orthodox Christianity nor Islam involved in this, despite it being based on the Declaration of Arbroath -- a letter to the Pope -- the United States' Constitution is firmly a PROTESTANT form of Christianity, affected to a certain extent (but not as big as you might have thought) by the modern ideas of the Philosophes from France -- religious tolerance, morality over all, reason over all and so forth!\n\nHope this help!


There is this guy @ my church,I've liked him for at least 7-8 monthst now, and he's just now noticing me,and that I like him.Im also really jealous of my lil' sis, in 5th grde.and she's had BF's since kindergarten,and also kissed a guy in kindergarten,andI've never kiised a guy.Wat should I do to get to go out with this guy?ANd how do I get over all my jealousy?

looks like you are asking this question a lot, but i'll give you a simple answer.  don't be jealous of your lil' sis.  who cares?  i didn't kiss a girl until i was in 11th grade, and i was a popular athlete in school.  just didn't really care about what everyone thinks you should do.  i'm married now to a wonderful woman and am very thankful i wasn't a wild child, sleeping with 100's of women before i got married. and no, it has nothing to do with religion.  \n\nas for your crush, JUST TALK TO HIM!  go up and say hello and be yourself.  you will sit around your entire life and wish you had talked to him if you don't.  what's the worst that can happen?  he says to go away and you go back to where you were, not talking to him.  at least then you know you tried and there is nothing you can do, then you move on.  good luck.


(x+2)(x-1)(x-5)less than or equal to 0\n\nPlease show how did the problem

actually, you slolve each of the three parenthesis and that tells you when the equation equals zero...\n\nX=-2, x=1 and x=5.\n\nNow look at each interval to determine whether the curve is greater than or less than zero in that interval.  For example, \nless than -2: x=-3 is less than -2.  So substitute x=-3 and solve... (-1)(-4)(-8)=-24 which is less than 0.\nbetween -2 and 1: x=0 is between these numbers.  So substitute x=0 and solve...(2)(-1)(-5)=+10 which is greater than 0.\nbetween 1 and 5: x=2 is between these numbers.  So substitute x=2 and solve....(4)(1)(-3)=-12 which is less than 0. \ngreater than 5: use x=6: (8)(5)(1)=+40\n\nSo the number line should show an open circle at -2 and an arrow pointing left, and open circles at 1 and 5 with a line connecting the two circles at 1 and 5.


this actually happened to my cousin and sinse ever his wife told him that he is so depressed. I told him that she is only frustrated,because she lost her job. but he is thinking of A divorce..how can I ease HIS pain?? is it sensible to ask for a divorce for that??what would you do if you were in his place

I feel that luck is created.What would I do if spouse told me that? I'd tell him See Ya,and I'd go buy him a rabbits foot,some four leaf clovers and serve that on his dinner plate.That's mean I know,but that was rude what the wife told him.


The benefits can be real rewarding and fullfilling if you have the right partner.  Financially, you can combine your assets and apply them toward loans and investments at great rates, insurance goes down, can get auto's at better rates, you can have children and get the benefits, someone to be there through all the good and bad times.  Someone you can get freaky with the rest of your life and explore your sexxusallity with, fun and lots of fun.  You are never to young "if" you are really in love and that person is in love with you.  The biggest thing is that you become one person and that other person is just as important as you.  The benefits are great and if you think you are not ready or just to young than take the time to investigate what your heart is telling you.  DO you pray?


does anyone know how to do scale factors?

It's difficult to know from your question what exactly it is you've been asked to do, but here goes...\n\nA scale factor can be expressed as a ratio between two things e.g if the scale factor is two, then the ratio beteween the two things you are comparing is 2:1 meaning that the bigger thing is twice the size of the smaller.  Thinking of it in this way can help you to reverse a scale more easily e.g. if you're told a length has been enlarged by a factor of 2 and that the new length is 4cm, you can see from the ratio that rather than multiplying by 2 you need to multiply by 1/2 to find the answer this time.  It helps if you line up your ratios:\nold : new\n  1  :  2\n  ?  :  4\n\nIf you are trying to produce an enlargement by a scale factor, you will need to follow a line from your centre of enlargement to each point on your shape.  You need to measure the length of each of these lines and then extend it in the same direction.  To find where the corresponding point on your enlarged shape is, you will need to multiply the distance from the centre to the original point by the scale factor.  This will give you the distance along the line from the centre that you need to draw the new point.\n\nIf you are working on squared/graph paper, then you can count the number of squares across and then up/down from the centre to each point on the original shape and multiply these distances by the scale factor to find out how to get from the centre of enlargement to the corresponding point on the new shape.  e.g. if you go 3 squares right and 1 square down to get to a point from the centre of enlargement, and the scale factor is 3, to find the new point you will need to go 9 squares right and 3 squares down.\n\nIf you are working with lengths, areas and volumes, you must remember that if a length increases by 3 times its original value the areas which correspond to it will increase by 9 times (3 squared) and the volume by 27 times (3 cubed).  If you get stuck, look at the units in the question.  If you're asked to find a volume if an area increases, for example, then square root the scale factor to take it back to a length factor before cubing it to get the volume factor (this is the same as raising the area factor to the power of 3/2).  Similarly if you start with a volume you will need to take the cube root to find the length scale factor.\n\nWithout knowing more about what you're looking for, that's the best information I can give you.

Ask a teacher for help, or ask a guidance counselor at your school.

I am getting ready to go on terminal leave in about 2 month ( from USMC) dose anybody know a web site, that will in detail describe what steps I need to take to get my terminal leave, money for separation etc. situated? I attained Transition Assistance Program but all they talk about is how to get a job, and I want to make sure all my paperwork is good before I get out, and I can get all my benefits.\nIf anybody can help I would really appreciate that.

Have you talked to anyone in your shop?  There is always someone getting out a month ahead of you that knows a bit.  The SNCO's have delt with people getting out often and should know.  I still got a year, so I'm just starting to listen, but I do know that you've got to get to the VA 60 days out, so you will have to hurry on that.  Ask around.  There should be plenty of people that can not only give you the basics, but be able to tell you where to go and who to talk to.

I admit it.  I bought a bunch of Christmas music from iTunes music store last December.  And now that those songs are in my computer's music library, they keep popping up when I use the Party Shuffle function.\n\nIs there a way to set a rule to keep certain songs out of that rotation?  I don't want to be listening to "Joy to the World" in April!\n\nI have all of these songs labeled as "holiday" genre - and would love to just be able to tell my computer not to include "holiday" songs when it's selecting what to play next.\n\nDoes anyone know how to do this?  I'm running OSX Tiger with the latest version of iTunes.

If you "uncheck" the songs you don't want to listen to in the main library, they shouldn't play or show up in a downloaded mix on your IPOD.

I want to be able to have a 7, 14, & 30 day Average of my Blood Glucose Levels. I measure it between 1 & 6 times every day. These averages will help me monitor the BG levels and help to maintain a healthy ave.\nDoes anybody out there in cyberland have a solution for me?\nI am using excel 2003.\nThanks In Advance

appologies in advance for a lengthy description of the solution.\nYou can use the builtin Excel "Analysis Toolpak" to solve this problem. However since the calculation is fairly simple, so I would recommend you to setup a spreadsheet yourself.\nThe issue is that you want to calculate daily averages, but you have multiple data points per day (and no. of data points can vary everyday). So first you have to calculate a particular days average and then use these averages to calculate your required moving averages.\nFollow these steps.\n1)Allocate first column to enter dates\n2)allocate second column to 7th column for your readings (assuming the maximum no. of readings per day are 6..  you need 6 columns for readings)\n3)Allocate 8th column for that day's average (the formula would be AVERAGE(B*:G*) where *denotes the row no\n\nafter step 3 you have a spread sheet which calculates average reading for wach day\n\n4)Column I will be allocated for 7 day moving average. The first reading in this column will at the seventh day. So in Column I, calculate average for day1 to day 7. and then you can copy the formula all the way down.\n\n5)Calculate 14 day average and 30 day average in Column J & K respectively in pretty much the same way as in STEP 4


I want to attend a local college at home but i cant because of incomplete olevel results and not so good enough first college results am so worried am lagging behind the over see course am doing is so expensive

I noticed this year that in Fort Worth, Texas, the leaves just barely started to peak out on March 1st. By April First the whole places was decked out in green and looked like summer. I was wondering when The leaves just barely start to come out in the Austin / San Antonio area, and then when they appear to be 'fully out'.

As a wildlife specialist with the Austin Nature and Science Center, I can tell you with great confidence there is little if any derivation in time between the DFW and Austin/San Antonio spring foliage.

Apparently Mexico does on its southern border what it does not want the US to do on its southern border.  Mexico's stance is two-faced. What the US needs is a policy that mandates shooting anyone attempting to enter the US illegally.

Weed grows naturally. The only processing it needs is a little drying out. Unlike chemicals, marijuana users are for the most part peaceful, and the side effects are minimal. Paranoia is caused by the laws against weed- not weed itself, and the financial cost of the drug war would be minimalized easing the tremendous expense. Of course, then, they couldn't take advantage of the relatively calm marijuana users, who'd rather make love than war. \n\nAlcohol has it's place, but there is the blinding innebriation, shakiness,liver damage, stomach damage, kidney damage etc. What happens when you drink too much ?

Actually, first came the rooster and the chicken. A chicken alone cannot lay fertilized eggs. It takes fertilized eggs to have more chickens and roosters.\n\nIf the egg came first, it would have died. There would have been no one to fertilize it, lay it, or hatch it. If a lone chicken, by some miracle had hatched from said egg, there would have been no roosters to fertilize more eggs, thus no more chickens or eggs.\n\nIf it is true that such an egg existed, that needed no care, fertilization, or hatching, we are degenerating rather than progressing. Our eggs are highly dependent in order to be of any use.

This Country was built on seperation of politics & religion. Is it really necessary to be applied these days.

Well first of all, this country was not built on separation of politics & religion. It was built on : no state sponsered religion and equality of all religions. If you look at our founding fathers, they incorporated thier religious beliefs into many aspects of government and politics.\nSo in my opinion , on the religious and political front, our country is out of step with what the framers of the Constitution intended it to be.


If you have the requisite skills and the capabilities, then one should certainly aspire to be an officer. In addition to being able to do everything an enlisted man does, an officer has to demonstrate leadership qualities. He is a role-model and is there to be mentor, guide, friend and commander of the men under him. An officer wears multiple hats and has to be an all-rounder.\nSince men will only obey once they are convinced of your leadership skills, you are constantly forced to give it your very best!\nIn the army's officer cadre, one usually starts off as a Lieutenant (depending on which army) and can go all the way upto General or Field Marshall. Similarly, you start off as Sub Lieutenant in the Navy and can reach Admiral or Admiral of the Fleet. In the Air Force, you would start off as a Flying Officer and could go upto an Air Chief Marshall or Marshall of the Air Force\n** Please note, these ranks are for the Indian Armed Forces. Field Marshal, Admiral of the Fleet and Marshall of the Air Force are largely ceremonial ranks bestowed on certain people for outstanding service. They hold these ranks until death.


If you have every seen the Perfect Score, you'll know what I mean.  High School Students around the U.S. are taught the same things and learn the same things, but at the end everyone takes a test to determine what they’ll be able to be in the future.  How do you feel about this? Is this fair to you, does it makes you feel intelligent or really feel dim-witted.

Tests, any of them, does not portray one's intelligence correctly or fairly at all. Any test that can possibly cover all areas of any type of intelligence (there are many different areas of intelligence) fairly with all the factors taken in it would take too long to take and score and even then, there would be a 98% chance that it is not accurate.

Annual return is the profit a company makes for a given year.  In its simplest form, annual return is calculated by taking a companies total sales(revenues) and subtracting business costs(expenses).  Another common name for annual return is net income.  EG. In 2005 XYZ company had a net income of one million dollars.\n\nSometimes companies measure annual return by looking at the profits from continuing operations, the return before interest and taxes, etc.  But in everyday language, an annual return, as I said before, means simply bottom line profit also known as net income.  \n\nCompanies use annual return figures to measure performance. The objective of any sober business is to maximize the annual return.  If the return is considered too low, a business will take steps to increase it.  This includes cost cutting, improving product quality through innvoation, and expanding into new markets(selling a product in a new places).\n\nDoes this help?

Can I initiate direct deposit from one bank to the other if I have two bank accounts at separate institutions?


I have 3 credit cards. My COMBINED balances make up 24% of my COMBINED credit limits. In terms of a credit score increase, is it better to transfer those balances to the card with the most room? I have one card with a $7K limit and a $0 balance. This is also the newest (less than 2 mos. old) The balances on the other two (older) cards are closer to their limits. One has a $1k limit with a $800 balance, the other has a $3k limit with a $2k balance. I've heard that not being very close to your limit can increase your credit score. But, I don't know if this formula considers each account separately or if it looks at the combined balances vs. the combined limits. Please help.

The formula you are talking about looks at the combined balance.  Basically they look at all of your credit limits combined.  You don't want to be using too high of a percentage of this total balance, but I'd say 24% is perfectly fine.  Your limit on individual cards is not really a factor.  Also, having too many credit cards can negatively affect your credit score.  Typically you want to limit your number of credit cards to 2-3.


maximum speed, say (200mph). If you had sea beneath you and landed feet first remaining vertical having made yourself rigid for the impact.......Would\na) You survive the initial impact of hitting the water in this fashion as presumably it would be just like jumping into a swimming pool but alot faster?\nb) If you survived (a) what depth would you go to and is it likely that you would go that deep you would drown or not?

The water tension would kill you.  You cannot break the water tension fast enough to allow you to enter unscathed.  This was tested on Mythbusters.  They even tried to break the water tension ahead of them by dropping a hammer into the water just before impact.  The water ripped the legs off the test dummy.

You might want to contact a local Realtor since they have access to the MLS and sometimes rentals are listed with an agent and not put into traditional rental sites or in the paper.  I am a Realtor in St. Charles and I can help you find an agent in Evanston if you don't know one you can trust.


I was going to get a new tennis racquet and was just wondering

Racquets are all different.  Even the same company makes a line of different racquets.  Your best bet is to go to a club and ask to demo a few.  Ask a local club pro to help you determine the best one for you.  See if they will go out and hit with you.  Just because I use a racquet does NOT mean it will do well for you.  The differing stiffnesses, weights and where the weight is located all effect how well a racquet plays.  If you get a head light racquet and you are a baseline player (seldom comes to the net) then you won't like the racquet.  If you are a net player then you don't want a racquet that is head heavy.  Take your time, demo a few and talk to a local pro about the specifics of your game before spending $100+ on a racquet you may not like.

Lately I've been eating more vegetables, fruits, and grains; drinking more water; exercising; and taking vitamins.  The past 2 days I've noticed that my uring has smelled metallic.  I've noticed that before in the past, however I have never been able to pin point the reason.  I cannot find anything on the web addressing this issue, so I thought I'd ask the question in case you can be of any help.  Thanks much!

It's the vitamins. When you take vitamins, your body will process the vitamins and minerals you need to extract from the pill(s), then you liver and kidneys will flush out the excess, and the end result is usually bright neon yellow urine, as well as a smell. If you are having any other symptoms, please see a doctor, it could be something other than your vitamins, and could be microscopically destroying your reproductive organs, or a bladder infection.


We are all dumber for reading all these idiotic questions that make NO sense.  WHYYYYY?

Know mudder ow heard eye tray, eye juiced canned spall co-rectly. Eye thynk sum-thang iz rong wit me. \n\nI think how someone spells and the grammar they use tells a lot about the individual. Sometimes it actually aides in answering their question. If you really want to answer something for someone, but see that they are having a difficult time even formulating the question or expressing it in a clear and concise manner, you know not to use too complicated of an explanation or to keep your vernacular and verbiage in check as to not confuse them.\n\nBut yes, some of the questions and answers in this place make me wonder if one thousand monkeys are not actually on one thousand typewriters (or computers in this case) trying to write the next great American novel.

You trust one to the end but she has never responded to you as more than just a friend and more like a work only friend. The other has a few stories about her but face to face is very sweet and kind. She is the oldest daughter of your neighbor and stops by the fence every now and then but never forgets a special occasion with a card or flower etc...\n\nHere is the catch. I have never really thought about dating either although you cannot ignore how beautiful they are when they are in a room. I travel a lot and live a low maintenance life style to keep from hereing your never home. Which i have been through and broke my heart like never before.\nWho do i choose? \nThe notes i have received from each are WOW type notes. The event is over $1000 per plate. And a foundation for children that i have supported for over 10 years so i am going either way.

go with the definite safe one, the friend.  this isn't a date, it's for a special cause, you can definitely have fun with the first girl but you may be too nervous to enjoy yourself with the second.  It's about the children not your date...just have fun and enjoy your friendship.

Your family's primary home shouldn't be included, but the value of any other home must be included on your FAFSA (value = current value minus debt).\n\nYour parents may not be reaping the benefits of this investment right now, but that doesn't mean it isn't an asset.  Think about it: the house is gaining in value; every day, the house is worth more than what they paid for it.\n\nRemember: Your school has the right to verify any of information that you provide on the FAFSA (technically, they can require whatever documentation it takes to resolve any discrepant information in your file).  If they ask you to submit a copy of your parents 1040, the house will appear as an investment -- in some form or another -- and your school will either (a) deny you aid if you have intentionally misrepresented your information or (b) correct your FAFSA to reflect the information that you withheld (more likely).


I was wondering where could I find online scans of all the Teen Titans comics?

DC Comics just released a 500 page SHOWCASE edition of the original TEEN TITANS (Robin, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Speedy). It's in black and white and rather pricey at $17, but it's still cool. And... not "Sooo last year." It's so late '60s/early '70s, with great Nick Cardy artwork.


Or could it just be kept between you and your counsellor?

It depends on the state.  Some states will require you to report it, but only if the victim is a child.  Other states will require you to only report it if you can identify the perpetrator by name (so CPS knows where to go).  I worked at an internship in MD last year.  The agency's (and state's) policy was to report all sexual abuse.  Regardless of the victim's age now and how long ago it happened.  I think the reasoning is that many sex offenders are repeat offenders- so even though you are over 18, it is possible the perpetrator is also abusing someone else.  For some reason, even if the perpetrator was dead, you still had to report it.  \nFor this reason, I always start out every session with the limits of confidentiality as it applies to the state law.  (so basically, I had to imply to people at my last internship- if you don't want sex abuse to be reported, don't tell me.)  But that way, there are no surprises when abuse has to be reported or when confidentiality has to be breached.


I lied to them saying that we used to go out which we never did and now that I'm in high school I started to like him when he started to talk to me.

quick, call him and ask him to go to a fun movie with you. Make the first move, and have fun. That way if you do go and its fun- might want to hang out again. And those lies will dissolve. If he's a bore- you know right off the track. And you don't have to talk about him ever again.


My friend used a guy (miguel) to get to another guy(nick) she liked. So when she got nick she broke miguels heart by breaking up with him. But nick now doens't like her cuz she's a slut cause she brokes his bestfriends heart. But later she told me she likes miguel. I feel really uncomfortable around her now. I also feel weird cuz she in regulars and I am in high honors magnet.  Do you think I shouldn't be her friends cuz she treats guys like toys or go along with her? And she like a million other guys. Is she messed up. Shes is nice and polite but she has got a serious problem.  I seriously don't want to be her friend but I don't to break her heart either. What should I do?

Your boyfriend is lucky to have someone like you, but I think that you really should not threaten him on anything.  You have to think about this carefully, are you going to leave him if he does not quit, if the answer is yes, then I think you should have a talk with him when he is sober, and let him know that you are supportive but if he is not going to quit, he will lose you and you mean it!  If your answer is no, you are just buffing him, then, I think that you have to rethink!  It is difficult to have a relationship with someone who has a bad habit but I agree that you have to try and help him before giving up!  Good Luck!


do you guys talk to your girlfriends about having kids, do you guys can send kisses over the phone, do you guys miss a lot your girlfriend if she is away, do you guys talk about marriage, or is just when you guys found the one?

I don't think guys do this with all their girlfriends... I think it's somethings we only do when we find the "one".  Because in general, guys don't like talking about mushy things like love and marriage and babies and crap like that... but when you're madly in love, and you know you've found the one woman you want to spend the rest of your life with - the crap just doesn't stop coming out of your mouth... we're just crazy like that :)


Ignore the fact that we will get stretched to spaghetti,before we get a chance to do so.

stephen hawking has said that balck holes indeed behave like black bodies, emitting some radiation, usually gamma and x rays. \nAlso, when matter falling into the black hole causes the black hole to spin. This creates a magnetic field like that of Earth's, emitting the high energy particles in the form of jets through the north and south poles of the rotating blackhole.\n\nSo, some kind of info might be released from a black hole, thats if the spaceship can detect these signs.
