First of all I am a Christian, I turned to Christianity 2.5 years ago, when I stopped drinking.  Yes, I am a recoveriing alcoholic.  The problem is...I had an affair for 5 years prior to accepting Christ.  I did see this woman a few times after and felt guilty and terrible for obvious reasons.  My wife and I have moved to another state about a year ago.  I was hoping for a fresh start and to get this other woman off/out of my mind...the problem is I can not, satan will not let me forget her and she is continually in my thoughts.  I really want my marraige to improve, but I do not have a shot with this other woman on my mind.  I do got to church services regularly and Bible Study, I am always trying to do the right thing, but satan is always on my should talking in my ear....I need to get rid of the thoughts and memories of this other woman.  Please help...PLEASE...

You will *not* be able to get rid of the thoughts and memories of the other woman. Accept that they are there and that is nothing you can do about it. Don't beat yourself up about it. What you do have a choice about, however, is acting out on those thoughts.\n\nWhen the thoughts do come into your mind, stop and ask yourself what benefits having those thoughts will bring to you. The answer is none - a big zero.\n\nIn time, with prayer and focusing on your current woman (i.e., your wife), the thoughts will slowly recede. But they may never completely disappear, so don't expect them to.\n\nOh, and do NOT share this with your wife - do not make your burden her burden as well. However, you can share it with a trusted friend or advisor.

in that last game he really let me down  he addressed it on tv or something but i missed what he said. anyone?

If you are a basketball fan, you will like this answer, if you are a Kobe fan you will not.\n\nKobe has issues.  His passes don't hit the recipient in an optimal position and are miss-timed.  His team mates don't know when he's going to pass, usually he passes out of frustration.  Magic's team mates never knew when he was going to pass but they were always ready and he'd hit them in rhythm and in stride which lead to good shots and a lot of assists.  Kobe's team mates are used to watching him because he wants EVERYONE to watch him.  Watch his passes hit his team mates at their waists, it takes them longer to get the shot up and they miss because that's just enough time for defenders to get into position.  Kobe needs to see a shrink.  He also needs a consist ant three point shooter and a more athletic 4.  A man looks inward first.  A child looks to blame others first.  He got what he wanted but like they say , "I can give it to ya but what ya gonna do with it?"\nKobe suffers from "why isn't everyone as good as I am" disease.\n\nAlthough Kobe is more athletic, five magics would beat five Kobe's because five magics would only care about winning.\nAs would five Nash's or five LeBrons or five Stocktons...\nThe Kobe's would be competing with each other instead of the other team.

How would you go to the toilet if you already defecated in your pants?How what you do if you're wearing a thong and defecated?What would be the best underwear to use if you have diarrhea?

I work at a healthclub and you would never guess how often this happens. People push themselves too far and that is the result. She should try to go to the bathroom before she goes to the gym and take restroom breaks in between strong workout sessions.

I am doing an ECR about the book and the question ask the mother and daughter relationship affect their culture, society and time. Um...yeah, how does it affect those three? I have an answer, but I'm not sure if it is right.

Chinese Culture- in the Joy Luck Club, there are four daughters and four mothers. The daughters were raised in the US while the mothers were from China. I believe the mothers pressed upon the daughters the importance to succeed. There was more opportunity for them. The mothers in China experienced oppression from their previous husbands, stepfathers, mother in laws and the war with Japan. They had to work with the situation they were placed in - one woman was sold as a bride to a horrible mean family as a young girl, another was married to a philandering husband and she ended up letting her baby die, and another had to leave her babies behind in a forest because she thought she was dying as she escaped the war. The mothers are all trying to impart on their daughters their hard life situations so that the daughters wouldnt have to go through the same. The daughters cannot appreciate or understand the ease of womens life in the present day time setting. the daughters, need to hear firsthand from their mothers to appreciate and use those lessons and apply them to their seemingly hard issues they face in modern times.

so that they get to have sex with 72 virgins?is it true? what about the female suicide bombers; what do they get?

First of all, the true members of the Muslim religion condemn these acts. They are not smiled upon.\n\nSecond, most suicide bombers are pretty brainwashed. They are told that they will live an exuberant life in heaven with a bunch of virgins. The suicide bombers actions are of greed not faith.\n\nThird, remember that, no matter what, suicide is the greatest act of selfishness that one can act upon. All of the religions I have studied teach this in one way or another. Fanatics always twist religion to their own purpose.\n\nSo, while it is true that people blow themselves up to kill others, it is far from true that it is a noble act, rewarded in Heaven. It is more a damnable act to be rewarded in Hell.

My own people bad mouth me because I choose to speak english

No. Those of our people are ignorant because they will not learn the language of the country they choose to live in. I have the same problem.

Keep on talking maybe they will learn some thing.

I like this boy name "Alex'' and he likes me but my cousin used to date him and she wants me to go with him so that I can brake up with him but it just wouldn’t be right. So I called his brother up today and asked him why "Alex" told me not to call him ever again last night even though he did not. And when his brother put "Alex" on the phone I hanged up twice then when I talked to him he ask me why I was lying and told me to get his voice straight and I told him since I don’t know his voice I need not be talking to you and he said ok and that was the end of the conversation but now I want to talk to him and I want to call him. So what should I do?

i think u should tell him the truth cuz if he does like u then he will listen and try

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50441\n\nDon't hold your breath.  But I am sure that Chulapanama, and Answr3r3 and Panch, and the rest of the criminal protectors will call me a turn-back, an arrepentido, and self-hater.  Oh well.\n\nFor those of you who don't want to click on the link, here's a snippet:\nSchurman-Kauflin concluded that, based on a figure of 12 million illegal immigrants and the fact that more of this population is male than average, sex offenders among illegals make up a higher percentage than offenders in the general population. \n\nShe arrives at the figure of 240,000 offenders – a conservative estimate, she says – through public records showing about 2 percent of illegals apprehended are sex offenders. \n\n"This translates to 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sexual offenders coming across U.S. borders illegally per day," she says. \n\nShe points out the 1,500 offenders in her study had a total of 5,999 victims.

We are way too easy on those who decise to abuse children. Here is my answer to these people who abuse our loved ones\nSex Offender Legislation “Wish List” \n1-GPS and lifetime supervision/treatment Law The failure of today's solutions regarding sexual offenders is because we are stuck in the strategy of “public notification” rather than “controlling offenders”. The current model puts the burden on parents rather than offenders, and makes the wrong people work to prevent abuse. Remotely (GPS) knowing where an offender is at all times throughout his lifetime can help to prevent that offender from creating new cases of sexual abuse.\n2-Include all known offenders in the management plan-for life. It is wrong to include just those under supervision since the Meagan’s Law was written. People do not ever age out of this behavior so why an old is charge less important than a new charge. Sexual offences are the most under reported crimes (according to the FBI). The fact that a molester has not been arrested recently does not necessarily means he has not offended.  In my opinion all offenders should be included in any plan, regardless of when their offense occurred. I believe some states have done this already. \n3-Put all offenders , levels I, II or III on the website . I believe Florida does this. The leveling tool is very poor and pedophiles often end up with only a level I because they did not use force, and they superficially complied  with treatment. The way the leveling system works pedophilic “groomers” who do not use force (and are the most busy of all offenders with hundreds of victims) are often not level III’s and therefore are able to have their offense relatively unknown. In New York for example offenders can lawyer up and reduce the “level” they get at their hearing. Molesters can assert they are “non violent”, “sober”, ect, and get the “points” reduced or get the judge to “override” the scale. Currently the public notification system is failing. All offenders of all levels should be on the website. \n4- “Victim Shield Law”.  As you know one of the few protections we offer rape victims is “Rape shield laws”, in order to at least try and prevent a rape victim’s sexual history from being put on trial rather than the rapist. In child sexual abuse cases there are no “Rape shield laws” to prevent the victim, or the victim’s family (often the mother) from being made the center of negative attention. In the past defense lawyers for rapists would portray rape victims as promiscuous, today child molester’s lawyers portray victims and victim’s mothers as manipulative, litigious, unreliable, angry, mentally ill, sociopathic, medicated, or undedicated. Because we as a society love to blame women, especially mothers, molesters have been able to harness the misogyny in our culture in order to escape responsibility for their offences. Like the old rape cases that would revolve around the victims sexual past, today molester cases revolve around a child or a mother’s real or fictional problems instead of the focus of attention being the sexual abuse committed by the offender. I do not know if there can ever be a “victim shield law” to prevent the victim/victim’s mother being put on trial rather than the molester, but I know it would help victims avoid being re-traumatized in the system and help society hold sexual offenders accountable. One of the things to always remember with offenders is they are control seekers, and will take any opportunity to attack rather than just defend. They feel entitled to their behavior and see being held accountable as an injustice they are being forced to suffer, and they have zero guilt in harming any number of people (even their children) in order to escape the consequences they deserve.\n5-Plea deals down to “Endangering the welfare of a minor”. Despite the underlying behavior being the sexual abuse of children offenders are oft

I cant seem to get my left blade stuck into the ice so i can move my right foot to the other side.

Ok you have to LEAN darling and make sure your arms are in the right place. If you're going anti-clockwise around a circle put your right hand infront of you at 12 o'clock and your left hand at 6 o'clock. \nPush with your right foot from the ball of your foot while concentrating your weight on the left foot. Then when you come to cross your right over your left, bring that right foot infront to place on the inside (of your circle) push slightly out with your left foot to make room for the right. And place the right down where the left was.\nThen start again. Your posture during the cross overs is gonna make or break it. Practice in a small circle (About 1.6 yards) and consciously lean your body toward the centre of your circle - this will make your blade 'stick'. (p.s. check if your blades are sharp enough too)\n\nYou're gonna look like a little bit of a dork the first few times till you get the hang of it, but once you get it, you're gonna look fab!\nAlso these skating skills are the most important to get right now, because they are the building blocks of all other skating elements.\n\nPractice sweety!


I met a good guy when I went abroad last November.  He is a real gentleman, a good conversationalist, and I think a sincere person as well.  We became good friends in a span of two weeks. When we both went back to our countries, we continued chatting, sending messages thru the cellphone, or calling each other.  We even planned to have a business together.  In our chatting, he would always tell me that he likes me or that he finds me pretty and one time he even said he finds me sexy.  I would think of that as flirting.  I was actually surprised with his words cause I know people from his country are very conservative and they don't talk that way unless they are really interested with the person.  I should know, I've been working with them for several years now.  So, I really thought he was interested in me, until I told him that I am getting attracted with him and he kinda backed off by telling me he doesn't feel the same.  I mean why sould he say those things if he doesn't mean it?

It is common for men to flirt with their female platonic friends. But it seems like at first this guy was taking it a bit farther, in my opinion he is either already married or in another committed relationship, and he wanted to see how far he could take it before you responded. In some way he also wanted to see if he was still desirable to the opposite sex. So he's either a big jerk or he's afraid of letting you get to close, because of your locations. I hope this helps.

How would I do this math word problem? \nI need help on how to write this out and solve. Thanks in advance if you can help. Coming from Portland, Oregon area here is the problem:\n\nOn vacation you plan to visit Sutter’s Fort in Sacramento, CA. How long will the 481-mile trip take if you follow the 65 mph speed limit in Oregon, and 70 mph speed limit in California? (Get out the maps or look it up on the internet.)

As you can tell, there's not really enough info within the problem itself to solve it.  You'll need to get a map, atlas, or some internet source to determine how much of the 481 miles will be driven in Oregon, and how much in California.  I won't look that up for you, but let's pretend that it's 121 miles in Oregon, and the other 481-121=360 miles in Cali.\n\nAssuming you constantly maintain the speeds indicated, you can calculate the time it takes you for each leg of the trip by using the formula:\n\n   distance = speed x time\n\nOr, equivalently,\n\n   time = distance / speed\n\nSo, for the 121 miles in Oregon, over which you will be traveling 65 mph,\n\n   time = 121 miles / 65 mph = (approximately) 1.86 hours\n\nand for the 360 miles in California, over which you will be traveling 70 mph,\n\n   time = 360 miles / 70 mph = (approx.) 5.14 hours\n\nAltogether, then, you'd be traveling 1.86 + 5.14 = (approx.) 7.00 hours.\n\nIf you want to write that out as one long problem, you could write it this way:\n\nTotal Time = Time1 + Time 2\n           = Dist1/Speed1 + Dist2/Speed2\n           = 121 mi/65 mph + 360 mi/70 mph\n           ~ 1.86 hr + 5.14 hr\n           ~ 7.00 hr\n\nNow, don't forget, I picked the distance values, 121 and 360 miles, out of thin air.  You'll need to look them up and do the problem yourself.  But hopefully that should give you an idea of how.  Good luck!

How can we help to save precious creatures from dying out, like the Siberian Tigers, the kiwi, etc.?

1.

Stop the hunting of the endangered animal, by men and introduced predator species.\n3. Limit the number of competitors for the same resources of the endangered animal.\n4.  Find ways to improve genetic diversity in limited populations.


Simple. What do you think of the rights of immigrants in America. I'm not taking sides here, but remeber, if they want rights, they should get them all, not a select few good ones. Including taxes!!!!!

Legal immigrants should have all the rights of a natural born citizen. Illegal immigrants should not.Think of it this way. The immigration office that an immigrant goes to when they first come here is like a military issue facility. They get issued their green card, their other papers, and their rights. People who bypass that facility, get none of these.


I live in CA. My brother just died in March.  He left about $30,000 in debts and has a house and property worth about $10,000.  It's a huge mess.  Even after spending every weekend there for months, it's still a mess.  There are cars to be towed off, etc.  There is only me and my mom and we don't want anything from it, just want to *hand it over* to the state and be done with it.  We know he owes a lot in debts and quite frankly don't want to deal with creditors since they weren't *our* debts.  Is there a way to just let the state take over?  My mom and I don't want to be his executor of estate, and therefore be responsible for having to sell his property.  Can we just leave it be?  I never even gave any of his creditors my name or phone number and they are harassing me to pay his debts even though we have done nothing so far except send out copies of his death certificates and cancel credit cards.  Thanks for any help.

All his assets are part of the estate.  If you abandon it, the state has laws that determine who "takes" and in what order, and those will be applied in the same manner as bankruptcy.  For instance, the mortgage company is the first taker on the property.  Why?  B/c they are 'secured' having filed a document with the state that 'secures' the debt.  that is why you will hear credit cards referred to as 'unsecured debt' - b/c no asset secures the debt.  If you want to abandon it, go ahead.  But, having visited his property, you might have problems with creditors saying you took assets away.\nAnd no, you do not need to have a lawyer to clean up the mess.  I do not know how exactly to deal with all of that, but I would at least send copies of the certificate to the credit reporting agencies (addresses available at the FTC's website).\nIf you are named executor in his will, you can refuse, but you might need to file an appearance with a local probate court - though note that 'an appearance' means filing a document, not actually appearing.  I would check with a lawyer on this brief matter, b/c that might make you open to personal jurisdiction, which you don't want.

Please anser ito volume. \nBy oxygen - i mean the amount of oxygen in regular "air" - that we breath.  I think there is 20% oxygen in the air we breath? So how much of that is burnt up by a candle in say a minute?  ANd does the flame burn any other of the gasses in regular "air"?   Once it is "burnt" what does it turn into?

The "burn rate" of a candle depends on the type of wax (or other material being burned, e.g., "gel candles"), the type of wick, the geometry of the candle and wick, etc.  In general, though, burn rates for typical candles are on the order of 2-8 grams of paraffin/hour.\n\nParaffin wax is composed of straight-chain hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2, where n is greater than 20.  As the size of paraffin molecules increases, the carbon content approaches the limiting value of 85.7 percent asymptotically. For the sake of argument, let's say the wax in a candle is 85% carbon by weight (the rest is hydrogen).  This corresponds to a hydrocarbon chain containing about 20 carbons.\n\nIf the wax is burned completely, the overall chemical reaction involved is:\n\n  30.5*O2 + C20H42 -> 21*H2O + 20*CO2\n\nor, for each molecule of C20H42 burned, one needs 30.5 molecules of O2 gas.  For each atom of carbon in the wax that is burned, one needs 30.5/20 = about 1.5 atoms of oxygen gas.\n\nOxygen is the only gas in air that is consumed by the reaction, and if the candle burns prefectly cleanly, the only things produced are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.  In reality, candles don't burn perfectly, and they produce some unburned hydrocarbons, soot, and carbon monoxide.  In addition, candles commonly have additives, such as colorants and fragrances, that are released.\n\nA candle that burns at a rate of 5 grams of paraffin per hour releases about 5*0.85 = 4.25 grams of garbon/hour (85% of the total mass).  The atomic weight of carbon is 12 grams/mole, so 4.25 grams/hour = 0.354 moles C/hour.  \n\nEach mole of carbon needs 1.5 times as many moles of O2 gas, so oxygen is consumed at a rate of 0.531 moles/hour.\n\nAt room temperature and pressure, a mole of gas occupies about 22.4 liters, so the candle uses up 11.9 liters of O2/hour.  As you point out, air is only 20% oxygen, so this is the oxygen contained in 11.9/.2 = 59.5 liters of air.  \n\n59.5 liters air/hour = (approximately) 1 liter air/minute.


Whenever one of my employees quits I take the payments for advertising for the position in the newspaper out of their paycheck.  I feel like they are screwing me over.  I have been threatened but I feel like they are mean people.

I think that is unprofessional, they earned those wages. They should follow through on their threats.


Britain has always been America's staunchest ally. But to the Brits it seems America turned its back when Britain was forced to defend a few hundred of its subjects half a World away, from an unprovoked Argentine invasion of the Falklands.\n\nTo this day many British are bitter about the way that America refused to help, not even allowing British ships to dock in US territory (an action that would have saved the lives of many British sailors, lost because their ships and tankers became sitting ducks to the superb Argentine Air Force).\n\nThe Brits remember ther American abandonment with a bitter taste and it makes them wonder about their role in support of America in Iraq today.

The people of Britain were staggered when America refused to help. Even more so because the Americans were seen to be siding with the pretty sordid dictatorship of General Galtieri. America sent the message loud and clear - stuff you Britain, we prefer the dictators on our doorstep. \n\nBritain went to the Falklands not just to defend its territory, but to defend its citizens there, who were now the prisoners of the Argentine forces. This was an honourable cause. \n\nThe Brits proved themselves still capable of amazing military logistics in delivering its Forces so fast and so massively into the South Atlantic way beyond the normal operating range of British air and sea power. That they did this without the help of their fairweather 'friends' the Americans, made the feat still more extraordinary. They even turned the ocean liners Canberra and QEII into fighting ships in a matter of days! They got short range Vulcan bombers (veterans of the 1950's) out of mothballs, patched them up and somehow got them in the air all the way, to accurately obliterate the runway in Port Stanley, denying the Argentine Air Force a landing strip and seriously compromising its capability - vital because the AAF was the only really effective element of the Argentine Armed Forces. \n\nAll this was done while the Americans sidled up to the despotic General and the French sold the Argentines the Exocet missiles that did such deadly damage to the Royal Navy.\n\nThis war is remembered with pride in the UK. The British Armed Forces proved once again they're the best. They proved it in the fighting and they proved it in the way they overcame the sheer enormity of the task of delivering a huge military force across the largest expanse of open sea without any friendly harbour or airport along the way - thanks to the Yanks.\n\nThe answer to your question is Yes - the Americans did abandon their greatest ally at a time when Britain truly needed them. Worse, they abandoned the Brits in favour of a a pretty gruesome Dictatorship .... and the British people, who are strong on loyalty and friendship, have harbourred the grievance ever since. America should bear that in mind.


ok im doing a project and i am doing it on book burning, i cant find anything on google so heres the question, Why were books burned instead of torn up or thrown away?


I have an appointment with a psychiatrist, and in the yellow pages his ad says Hermitage Psychiatry underneath his name. It then says, Treating mind, soul and body.

Think of it as a holistic medicine psychologist.


im a 14 yr. old girl and im the oldest of my syblings...i have a friend that is 17 years old and she's the yougest of her sibs. and she's a girl too. i dont know what it is about her she is amazing and i love her so much.people often say im obssessed cus i talk about her so much..i dont want her in a sexual way but it feels like im in love with her. i know im not a lesbian, because im not attracted to her, im kinda confused....why do i feel this way about her.

lol  The platonic girl crush.  We've all had them.  Chances are, you're feeling uncomfortable and unconfident in yourself.  You see yourself as someone who hasn't yet grown into everything you want yourself to be.  This girl is who you want to be.  You look up to her and idolize her.  It's normal.  Don't get too obsessive.  It freaks some people out, but rest assured, this is normal.  Eventually, it'll pass and you'll be okay.  You just need to grow out of it.  Good luck!


i just want my sister to have a email adress how can thatt be done,she has a computer,but not internet,

I'm revising the neural correlates of consciousness- fun!\n\nI have written down that blindsighted people have low awareness (they don't 'see' anything in their scotoma) but high performance (they are able to unconsciously and indirectly perform or discriminate some movement or objects)...\n\nI then have written down that other people have low performance and high awareness... I have scribbed 'bias' next to that- but not sure what that is referring to!\n\nAny ideas?\n\np.s. I understand blindsight and its effect on consciousness fine...\np.p.s. ignore any grammer/spelling mistakes please, it's 2am here and I'm burnt out from revising! lol\n\nThanks!!!

Technically, schizophrenics.  The problem is they cannot filter out signals.  There is too much hitting their brain, and they cannot decide between signal and noise.\n\nThey are aware of everything around them, and cannot deal with it.  high awareness + low perfomance defined.


You cvan use any sort of math to put the two's together, but you can only use five two's and the answer must be five.\nNote** There is more than one way to do this.


for a late 20's woman, small framed, about how many days after the first day of her period will a girl be ready for sex again. Also, when during the month is she most horny? I think her period only lasts like 3 days.

Women are really horny during their periods actually. And you should wait 2 days after she has finished her period so about 5-7 days after it's started.


I wouldn't even change my name to go into the witness protection program.  My family name traces its roots to the Vikings who settled Southwest Germany.  My middle name is third generation, and I hope to have a son someday to carry them both on.


what guestions will you asks that person. about 13 questions.

Good question. Im assuming this person has to be alive?\n\nI would interview Bill Gates.\n1) How did you get so wealthy?\n2) Who was your mentor?\n3) Do you have enemies?\n4) Did the success just happen or did you have to sacrifice anything?\n5) How much is your house? (I saw it on cribs!)\n6) Is it true you live in a house where everything is computerized?\n7) What was your biggest inspiration?\n8) Do people recognize you right away when youre in a public place?\n9) How many houses do you have?\n10) How does it feel to be one of the richest man in the US?\n11) Can I get filthy rich like you?\n12) What operating system is on your most used computer right now?\n13)How much do you have in your wallet right now?


my husband thanks i shouldnt get a job because i have a job raise three kids

yes its ok, in most family's both parents work. I bet there is some time when you don't need to be in the house and you could get a job. do it if you need the money or if its something you want to do. your happiness should be one of his highest priorities.

I am an Indian and i am proud to be one.\n\nMovies like Rang De Basanti, Lakshya, Haqeeqat have evoked patriotic feelings in many people and often a revoultionary one. in fact the effects of the film Rang De Basanti can be seen today in India with the youth revolting against the unfair reservation sysytem being introduced by the corrupt politicians.


now he only calls me if i call him and sayd ill call you "when i can" :-( i miss him... it happened two days ago..

Cheat on him for real... That'll even the score... and do it with his brother if he has any... That'll get him back even more!!!!


Please also state your Religious belief or lack there of.

everyone will stop trippin' over their religious differences and judgin people and just live in peace and help out their neighbor no matter their faith. ...people well stop preaching too. \n\nall this is the only way we'll have peace in the world...oh and quit buying overly processed foods and not realizing that unconscious choices as consumers contribute to the exploitation of many people in the world.


I`m a 22 yr old my uncle had a 24 year old wife and they have 2 childrens now but i`m in love with her and i think she feels that sometime so what can i do?

There are so many gaps on so many levels so let me lay out  your options:\n1)let's say you end up with her in the end - you will destroy relationship with your uncle forever. She may betray you the same way she is betraying her husband at present once she gets bored with you (betraying in this case is defined as giving you hints that she is interested in pursuing some kind of physical relationship with you)\n2)you end up with her in the end, and because she chose to leave her husband, children will probably stay with him. She will never forgive herself for making that mistake and will secretly blame YOU later for all her misery (give or take 5-7 years later) - not sure if you are willing to carry that burden in years to come.\n3) you look in the other direction and realize that she is older than you and probably wants to experience the years she's missed while busy with family and children (assume she married young and had her children quickly). you will be much happier later and other opportunities will come your way trust me. on the other hand, you may choose to have a one time fling with her and both of you move on with your lives (this way she would regain her sense of reality and you will just get lucky :). The question is how are you going to look at each other during family gatherings later on...\n4) not sure about her husband, but if he's violent type, family betrayal could justify some of the worst consequences. \n5) my advice, you have seen nothing yet. Life is just coming at your full force and please do not close the doors when it knocks. Acknowledge your feelings, we all feel tempted at some point in our lives but you need to carefully consider all options (including feelings of other individuals who would be directly or indirectly affected by your decision to make a move in this case), before you take action.\nGOod luck and hope you keep us updated.


Should I donate my brain to scientology for further research?

Can I have it? I love to collect unique specimens. I'll keep it in a jar on my desk at school and you can be our "class brain." *shrugs* Hey..it's one way to be the teacher's pet. :D


Having a hard time finding this information. Thanks

Besides slavery, rape, the senseless and sadistic murder of a natives for fun, and genocide, I'm sure there is a longer list.


A UK hacker is currently resisting extradition to the USA by the UK government even though his action took place in the UK. The US government does not extradite US nationals to other countries AND if a US serviceman commits a crime in the UK the arrangement is for him to be returned and tried in the USA. Why do we tolerate such a one sided arrangement and who agreed to it?

The USA is a good elder brother of the UK...


Because there are times that I wanted to keep the computer on because I am listening music to my mp3's. But I am not using the monitor anymore, so only monitor that I shut off, I am confuse, does it still using the same energy? \n\nmany says you can save by shutting the monitor off when u dont use it. \n\n\nplease help me! thanks

surprisingly enough, the monitor actually draws more electricity than a running computer, so if a computer tower and a monitor were the only things on your electricity bill, and you started turning off your monitor more often (such as when you fall asleep to your music...i do the same =P), you'd see a dramatic drop on your next electricity bill =)


yes i am interesting pls check my profile


I think it is absolutely wonderful that we are celebrating all the men and women that fought for this country this Memorial Day weekend.  And what better way to celebrate than to go to the sales!  I would like to thank all the fallen soldiers for giving me the freedom to get great deals on all sorts of things.  It moves me to tears just thinking about that set of patio furniture that is marked 25% off this weekend.  Will you all please join me.  I am having a moment of silence at 7:59 A.M. on Saturday to commemorate the occasion. (After all..the store opens at 8!)  \n\nGod bless them..every one\n\n:-)

HAS THE U.S. HAD ENOUGH OF THE OIL HOARDS AND WAR LORDS?.IT IS TIME FOR THE BUSH PRICKS TO STEP DOWN FOR EVER.I WONDER JUST HOW STUPID THEY THINK WE REALLY ARE.

Oh yeah there has been no attacks but you wait it will happen again.  We are no safer now than pre 9/11 and we have this stupid war that has pissed off the entire world.  If something does happen again, we will not get the same sympathy from other countries.\nI would vote for Hilliary but I don't think she would make it.  The democrats (and republicans) need somebodymore in the middle.  Somebody that will make everyone happy.  Clinto was like that, Reagan was like that but the Bushs' just want to please themselves.

I LOVE U\n\nFirst line:\n= I [ (L+N)² - N(2L+N) ] O / L\n= I [ L² + 2LN + N² ) - ( 2LN + N² ) ] O / L\n= I [ L² ] O / L\n= I L O\n\nSecond line:\n= [(v+r)(v-r)][E/V(U³/U²)]  (Note: that is U^3/U^2)\n= [v² - r²] [E/V(U)]\n\nNow we know that we "r" (are) nothing without each other, so r = 0\n\n= [V²] [E/V(U)]\n= V E U\n\nAll together our equation is I LOVE U


My dad thinks I should enlist and be a corpwave - that's a female medic. that I'd work in a big hospital in a big city and they give me extra money for rent and food. Would I be harrassed? Raped? What's it like?

I'm in the Navy and I enjoy my job.  After 15 years I'm still here and haven't been harrassed nor raped.  I personally believe that you're more likely to be raped/harrassed outside the military than in it.  I enjoy my job, and my friends that are female corpsman also like thier work.  Within the military medical field there are many sub-specialties, like lab tech, pharmacy, enviromental, etc.  I would think your biggest concern right now would be the current war.\nI have traveled all over the world lived in countries that I've always wanted to explore.  Yes there are stresses but that is with any job.  \n\nGood luck

pressure up thru the center.the xray shows no cavity,dont need a root canal and the filling is perfect.wot could be causing this? it always feels 'heavy',if that makes sense?

I'm a dentist.\n\nAssuming that the tooth hasn't moved, your bite hasn't shifted causing the filling to be hit harder, or the filling isn't high, it could be that you cracked the tooth.  Does it hurt when you bite?  And if it does, does it hurt when you bite down, when you release the bite, or both?  Any hot/cold sensitivity?\n\nSee your dentist.


No Kidding.  I know if we have a good job many of us get half-way decent health care in the US.  But wow. In today's environment who can ensure that the company they go to work for today will be around tomorrow.  How does one emmigrate to other countries from the US?  Is it difficult? Are there enough benefits of living in Canada or Australia that make that a more desirable location. I just read statistics where in the US only 15% percent of the folks are happy with the health care and 25% In England.  Not great numbers for England but better than the US.  I am trying to think outside the box!

I feel your pain...I retired to Canada (partially for that reason) a number of years ago and was quite pleased with the health care......a family doctor in Canada is very versatile and can treat a number of ailments including minor outpatient surgery in his/her office...other side of the coin..if you have to go into a hospital, more often than not, unless it is a life or death emergency, you will face a lengthy (several months) wait....now, there IS more to the story....I was able to do this, because at the time, I was married to a Canadian citizen...after a minimum of paper work I was granted health care priviledges...what you would have to do as a non-Canadian citizen to be granted residence in Canada, I'm not sure.........and of course, in this world there is no free lunch, income taxes were considerably higher; and there is/was a modest monthly cost for health care premiums....this was in 1998....if there have been changes since that time, I am not aware of them...........also, I mentioned that was only one of the reasons I moved to Canada...I was living in Victoria, Vancouver Island and it's one of the most beautiful places on earth..the Canadians are great people...ALSO, the U.S. dollar was was about 30 to 40% higher than the Canadian $.....not so now; and it's dropping....so, you've much to consider......good luck!!

ok...if you are catholic, you are assumed to go to heaven if you are a good person generally.....but if you are from a different land, its natural to believe in different things because that is your culture....you could be the most generous person in the world, but according to the bible (which is very picky) you would not be on the same level as a catholic/christian correct? i am catholic, and have basically learned that cathlics are "above" other religions and are closest to God, which i feel is "BS". what do you all think about this? In the bible's eyes, i'd go to heaven before a generous hindu man right?

Vatican II (Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, 1962-1965) broadened previous views of the Roman Catholic Church regarding salvation outside the church for non-Roman Catholic Christians as well as non-Christians.\n\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/rcc_salv.htm\n\nAlthough, within the past couple decades, somee Roman Catholic theolgians have redefined the language of Vatican II's "Lumen Gentium" (a document released in 1964 by the Council) in a more conservative light, some more liberal R.C. theologians still believe that this document states that salvation is not limited to Roman Catholics or even members of Christianity but to all humans of good will who seek the truth.... a big step for any religious body.


Okay I have an ipod that has 150 songs on it but I only want like 50 songs on it right now but my itunes has 150 songs on it too. what I am asking is how do I take songs off my ipod without deleting them on itunes?

In iTunes click in the box next to the name of the song you want removing and remove the tick. When you next connect your iPod to iTunes the song will be removed from your pod. If you want to add the song back to your iPod you can just tick the box again


i had a baby last august, and i've only had a period once. is there something wrong with me? should i be worried

You should go to your OBGYN.\nIt could be that something is wrong! \nPerhaps your hormones are off balance. \nSome birth control has this effect on women.  I had the shot variety birth control 1x after delivering my son.  I spotted daily for about 4 months then I did not get a period for 3 years.


It involved me being in a bright White House. Thousands of men running around with bombs strapped to their waists. They repeated the same phrase over and over again "GOO GOO UM GOO GOO UM" this repeatedly went on for 5 mins then stopped. Then all I saw was red and yellow and thick black smoke. On the floor lay a burning flag.\n\nStrange eh? what does ita all mean?

i dont know. maybe you are worried about people bombing the white house. you must want WORLD PEACE!!! =)

I have offered help to students and recent graduates doing research and clerical services for about 4 years, I am ready to take my little business online but am not sure what to call it. I type papers, dissertations, help research and apply to grad school and masters programs, make resumes and do background and statistical research to choose where to apply and assist in the interview process and also do custom orders for business cards stationary graduation notices etc basically everything you need clerical and document wise if you are a student or recent graduate entering the workforce

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance. \n\nThe name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your product or business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future. \n\nSince any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...\n\nI suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. \n\nThere are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!


are males naturally more dependant on the mother than females?  i have noticed some evidence of this

totally, and mothers are so stupid when it comes to their sons.  They baby them to death and then we wonder why very few males ever get to be real men instead of babies.

When asked yesterday at his joint news conference with Tony Blair if he (Bush) regrets ANYTHING about the unjust Iraqi invasion, Bush replied that he used the phraseology "Bring it On". Of ALL things to cite as regrettable, Bush cites "Bring it on". I believe he is dumber than we all previously thought. What do you think? Thx.

... I'm really not trying to estimate how "dumb" he is anymore... he continually surprises me every time I think I have an idea of how dumb he is... constantly finds a way to make me go "wow... I didn't even think he was that dumb".... \n\nhe's like some sort of "dumbness magician" and he keeps on pulling more "dumb" out of his pocket, just when you think he can't possibly do anything more to prove his lack of intellect... it's really almost impressive at times...


I want to know if I how many notes per yr extra, applied to principle, will make the interest drop off fast. Thanks so much.

That depends on if the bank you got your loan through will penalize you if you pay it off faster- sadly a lot of banks do that. Try calling the bank, explain you have a loan through them, and ask them if you can pay extra on your principle amount each month. If they say yes, then when you write your check for the payments, make sure to include an extra note which says, "Please apply any extra amount to my principle".\n\nIt also matters on how big your payments are- how much you can afford to pay per month.

All i could find was Adderall, maybe you mispelled if not sorry for long answer\n\nAdderall is a mixture of several different stimulants and is very effective in treating ADHD\n\nWhat side effects may I notice from taking amphetamine-dextroamphetamine?\nSide effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:\n•anxiety, or severe nervousness\n•changes in mood or behavior, including seeing or hearing things that are not really there or over-focused, staring-type behavior\n•chest pain, fast or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)\n•fever, or hot, dry skin\n•increased blood pressure\n•muscle twitching\n•skin rash and itching (hives)\n•uncontrollable head, mouth, neck, arm, or leg movements\n\nSide effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):\nLess Common or Rare:\n•a sense of well being\n•blurred vision\n•changes in sexual ability or desire (adults and teenagers)\n•constipation or diarrhea\n•dizziness or lightheadedness\n•increased sweating\n•nausea, vomiting\n•stomach cramps\nMore Common, especially in the first few weeks of treatment:\n•decreased appetite or loss of appetite\n•headache\n•mild stomach upset\n•nervousness, restlessness, or difficulty sleeping\n•weight loss


I'm 13, 5'5-5'6 (somewhere in there), 203 lbs. (but honestly big boned so I just naturally have a bigger build, but still a bit chubby), aside from being a bit chubby though I'm not an unattractive person. I can be fun and bubbley w/ my friends, but around guys I like and even my one guy friend I'm awkward and a bit quiet. I'm just really afraid I'll say something stupid (I usually do and I just can't help it). I am so totally into a couple of guys though, but I know I don't think I have a chance with them. Is there anything I might be able to do or so w/o being totally bold that might make them take a second look at me? It's a tiny school (49 ppl in my grade and both guys are in at least 3 of my classes) so I know that they know me. Just how can I get up the courage to talk to them? Don't say lose weight (I'm trying!), or do something sexual (so not cool dude), or that I'm too young because I'm not and if you think I am then don't answer. Thanx in advance for those that answer!!!

you are in for a rough time..  but  that is somehting everybody goes thru .. dont let morons get you down :kicks mr boo boo up there: be yourself.. go up and say hi make alittle small talk   give him your number(if your parents let you) then dont obcess over it. go out and live your life.  if he calls  he calls  if he dont   he dont  your 13 boys will come and go  dont live life form one boy to the next.. thats a habit many adult women still havent broken , you do not need a boyfreind to define yourselfor   to be cool   learn who you are and what you like, before you go tryin to figure out some boy  once boy hits puberity  theres just only one track on his mind. you will get sick of his whining to do it  you will either give in or break up with him


I'd choose Carmen Electra because she is so freaking hot and has a good personality.

That is a tough one between Carmen Electra and Jessica Alba.  Both are amazingly hot.. hmm.. I can't pick lol :)


What can you so with a BA in Social Science? I can't decide what I should major in and summer classes are starting up in less than a month...

In my experience, a BA in Social Science isn't useful on it's own, except for a school teacher.  You would need a Master's degree in something more specific (Clinical Psychology, Counseling, Social Work) to really get anywhere.\n\nI recommend doing a career counseling program.  A good one involves psychological tests, lots of reading and studying about potential careers, and answering hard questions about yourself.  That will help with future plans.


I got a sliver in my thumb... any ideas? its in too far 4 tweezers and its reely small but incredibly painful.

like a Motorola SLVR (Sliver)?\n\nJk...take a needle like the ones you use for sewing and stick in the stove flame for a few minutes to kill all the germs on it.\n\nThen use it to go layer by layer into your skin until you reach the thing. Then just do watever it takes it to get it out.\n\nIt might be painful but its worth it.


I cannot believe that Argentina is not bringing him to the World Cup. He is such a wonderful player... I support Bayern Munich, he is my favorite player there. I saw his quote in the paper today that he is devestated - I want to show him my support - anyone know of a fan site where I can leave a message that he will get? Thanks!

You should write him to the website of Bayer Munich, he will be able to read your message from there


If you could look like any celebrity who would it be?


tell me my future for real no stupid answers. My name is Kendra Smith i am from Indiana and i was born in Ocean Springs,Mississippi who will i marry/be with for the rest of my life(whats his/her name)how many kids will i have and what will i look like.

The future is about possibilities, not certainty. Know what you want and create it. Be open to opportunity and seize it.


can u solve the silly mystery...what's the question???\nBE DECENT.


I am having a problem with the school and there title/chapter classes.  The school states they do not need to notify the parent when they take the child out of the regular classroom and put them in "special" classes.  Also they are sending freshman on field trips without needing a parents consent and I just have a had time believing the school has that much power and the parent has none.  This Wisconsin school states they do not need to contact the parent for much of anything.  The kids are picking there own classes for next year and the parent again has no say.  Where can a parent find Wisconsin Public school policies, either Federal or State or?  I have tried emailing CESA 10 and have yet to receive a response.


I don't have any experience either. I want it to be something special and fun for both of us.

CONDOM!! lots of lubricant, very very slowly...and bottle of hard liquer!\n\nas a follow up, I'm a girl and I love it...but it does take some getting used to (and alcohol eases the pain the first few times) Oh, and don't get carried away...remember that it DOES hurt-badly and if you mess up and get too into it it may be your first and last time.


Hi,  I am a foreign student from S. Korea and I lived in the US for about 4 years.  With few exceptions, I do not have any problem communicating with other people, but I want to speak English more fluently without much accent so people can understand me better.\n\nDo you have any suggestion?  I am considering studying myself with a book or CD set.  Do you have any suggestion for such product?

There are classes that my father took to reduce his accent. They are called "Accent reduction classes". Hence the name. Another way is to practice are tongue twisters, or any reading out loud while recording yourself, then playing it back. Try to see what words or phrases or letter you see that give you the most difficulty. Also, singing helps. Helps improve your diction.


i need a workout song..Hips dont lie is the only thing that makes me dance.Any similiar music?

drop it on me, ricky martin and daddy yanke\n\nculo by pitbull\n\ngasolina- daddy yankee,\n  rompe remix, \nrokata- wisin yandel,\n hmm hmm-beenie man,\nbonanza (  belly dancer )- akon,\n burn it up- r kelly,\n tempted to touch- Rupee, \nturn me on- kevin lyttle, \noye me canto- nina sky,\n king of the dancehall- beenie man,


is there anything that helps with the occasional bad breath?

They are called Tonsillar Crypts. \ntonsils have crypts which increase their surface area - their function is significant in the first few months of life and then this tissue tends to regress\nhowever, in some cases, tissue regression does not occur and these crypts may become quite deep and allow food and bacterial debris to collect\nThere isn't really anything you can do just gargle with mouthwash. When I would get them I would pick them out.


Somewhere in America, a family sits down to a Memorial Day dinner. The weather is warm, Dad has been busy on the barbeque. The table is groaning under the traditional holiday fare: Ribs, chops, burgers, hot dogs, Mom’s homemade cole slaw and potato salad. Icy pitchers of lemonade and iced tea are at hand.\nAll are seated. They take each others’ hands as they prepare to say grace, bounded in a circle of love. The father looks so much older now even though it’s been just a year since they last observed this day devoted to the heroes who have given their lives that we might enjoy our freedoms; dark circles surround his eyes, his wrinkles are deeper and their is obviously more gray in his hair. His shoulders almost seem bent down from some inner burden. \nHe looks around the table at his lovely family, then says quietly, "let us pray." Before bowing their heads, each looks sadly at the empty chair missing their son who died in a war that was based on lies. We will love him forever...

Is this family heartbroken? \nSomewhere in Iraq, a family sits down to a Id al-Fitr dinner. The weather is warm, Dad has been busy cooking. People exchange cards and give food and money to the needy. Children wear new clothes, girls decorate their feet and hands with henna, and families and friends exchange visits All are seated. They take each others’ hands as they worry when the next air strike might occur, bounded in a circle of love. The father looks so much older now even though it’s been just a year since they last observed this day devoted to Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Issac. The  dark circles surround his eyes, his wrinkles are deeper and their is obviously more gray in his hair. His shoulders almost seem bent down from some inner burden. \nHe looks around the table at his lovely family. Each looks sadly at the empty chair missing their loved ones who died in a war that was illegal and unjust. 9-year-old Eman Walid tells story about when the Marines burst into the home where most of her terrified family--including her mother, grandfather, grandmother, two brothers, two aunts and two uncles--was huddled together in the living room in their nightclothes.“First, they went into my father’s room, where he was reading the Koran,” she said, “and we heard shots.” Then, she said, the soldiers came back into the living room. “I couldn’t see their faces very well--only their guns sticking into the doorway. I watched them shoot my grandfather, first in the chest and then in the head. Then they killed my granny.” The Marines, she says, began firing into the corner of the room while the adults tried to shield her and her 8-year-old brother. Seven adults were killed, her brother was shot in the shoulder, and she suffered a shrapnel wound to her leg. “We were lying there, bleeding, and it hurt so much,” she says. “Afterward, some Iraqi soldiers came. They carried us in their arms. I was crying, shouting, ‘Why did you do this to our family?’ And one Iraqi soldier tells me, ‘We didn’t do it. The Americans did.’” In this day of remembering loved ones, we will love them forever...


This is based on World View Geography about Russia's climate zones and I want to know which climate and/or vegetation zone produce the most arable land and why!

Information on this is a bit spotty. Here is what I have found but it is 10 years old:\n\nClimatic and geographic factors limit Russia's agricultural activity to about 10 percent of the country's total land area. Of that amount, about 60 percent is used for crops, the remainder for pasture and meadow (see table 15, Appendix). \n\nIn the European part of Russia, the most productive land is in the Central Chernozem Economic Region and the Volga Economic Region, which occupy the grasslands between Ukraine and Kazakstan. More than 65 percent of the land in those regions is devoted to agriculture. \n\nIn Siberia and the Far East, the most productive areas are the southernmost regions. Fodder crops dominate in the colder regions, and intensity of cultivation generally is higher in European Russia. The last expansion of cultivated land occurred in the late 1950s and early 1960s, when the Virgin Lands program of Nikita Khrushchev opened land in southwestern Siberia (and neighboring Kazakstan) for cultivation. \n\nIn the mid-1990s, about 15 percent of the working population was occupied in agriculture, with the proportion dropping slowly as the younger population left rural areas to seek economic opportunities elsewhere (see Rural Life, ch. 5).


Your clothes are completely removed and passion is building within you but you are scared.  Do you give in to your desires or do you try to figure out a way out of a situation that yoou wanted to happen weeks earlier?

Obviously love is blind , \n And when your blindfolded through love your soul have to follow concequess of love and not your disire anymore\n Also ,can't figure out the situation as always you want things to happen\n  Thus why love is blind


DR. JEPTHA COLE FROM LAKELAND FACIAL & PLASTIC SURGERY

go to the board of plastic surgery and look them up :)


I am very sensitive, and there's a situation that hurts my feeling very bad these days. And I still have to deal with it on occations. It would make me cry for several hours and maybe during couple of days, and each time I can't sleep feeling hurt, then have big headache after getting up and waste a lot of time to try to get back to normal. This may have to happen again tomorrow to me.\nIs there any drug over the counter that can help to control strong emotion like this, to calm myself down and going through it more easily ... ?\n(I know there are more than one kind in Europe, including herbal one. Are there any kind here in the US ?)

Yes, its name is:  Pray.\n\nTalk to Him, and ask for serenity.\n\nRemember, God is always with you.

My husband and I start to go to counseling 2 weeks ago. Sometimes I feel like I really want this to work we have a 2-year old and I really want a family but other times I feel like I just can't stand him and I don't even want to try. I've been really trying with the counseling. How long does it usally take for a couple to see any changes in the relationship? One of our issue is that he doenst want sex. We are 28 years old and in the last year we have had sex maybe 3 times. I ask him but its alway a difft reason why. Main reason is b/c he has a bad back and it hurts to have sex but he will not go to the doctor to try to fix his back.  I'm scare that I'm losing or lost interest in having sex with my husband b/c he is always saying NO to me. I don't have that feeling you get when you just want to take off someones clothes. I scare that now I'm at the point were I dont want to have sex.  I don't know if I still want to go to counseling or just call it a day with our marriage. Help!?!

Hello Lisa, my wife and I went to counsleing for several years. We had only one problem in our marriage. I wanted sex more than she did. We were great in every other way.\nWe tried 3 different counsleors and what happened to us was after a few sessions, the counselor seemed to side with one of us and then the other person felt like they were being picked on by the counselor and our spouse. We gave up with them and started e-mailing each other! We both literally spilled our guts. We were very open with our feelings and the e-mail allowed us to say what we wanted without the other person interrupting! It took a few months of doing this but within about 2 weeks, we both felt that we were on to something! We both agreed to be more positive about things in general. If one of us was down, the other person picked them up. We both made efforts to do things the other person enjoyed. We started having more sex but I was no longer pressuring her to do this. Without the pressure from me, her desire picked back up! Now after almost 11 years of marriage, we go at it like two teenagers! I am not saying that counselling won't work for the two of you but you could try what worked for us. Talk to your husband and see if he is willing. It does take time but it sounds like you still love him and you have a beautiful 2 year old child who I know would enjoy having two happy parents!\nI will keep an eye on this question and if you want to discuss this more, let me know.\nI wish you and your family the very best of luck!


I'm not to sure of this ,but I think I once read somewhere\nabout bomber crews of the R.A.F. and the U.S.A.A.F.(as it was then)reporting strange looking aircraft that they saw in European skies,try the reference library,a fascinating subject,best of luck with it


As noted before, it appears that you may have an overheating issue.  This is especially likely if your system has been overclocked.  The first thing to check is that there is no dust on the CPU heatsink fins or the chipset heatsink fins.  If there is no dust, then you night consider upgrading the CPU heatsink/fan.  \n\nPrices for these vary, as does performance.  For the highest performance, look for an all-copper cooling system (eitther heatsink/fan or water cooling system).  Heatsink/fan air cooling systems cost as little as $10 for probably about what you have, or as much as $500 for a high-end water cooled case.  Air cooled systems are traditional, and will work for most people most of the time, but water cooling systems will keep the processor (and chipset, if that is part of the system) cooler, which is better for the computer.\n\nYou might also check into RAM coolers, which do the same thing for your memory.\n\nMicroCenter (listed in the sources) has options for all the suggestions I listed above.  NewEgg is also a highly reliable retailer for computer equipment.\n\nUnfortunatetly, if this has happened several times, there may be irreparable damage to the chipset/CPU, and improving the cooling will only delay the failure of the system.


if u sleep with way more girls than guys, are u still considerd a slut?

Why does the American Public seem to look down on homosexual/bisexual people as opposed to heterosexuals?? I am bi and proud of it

For me anything a couple does inside four walls ,which doesnt hurt anyone ,is thier business...me or any other person doesnt and shouldnt have any right to say or pass judgements on it..PERIOD.\nSexual preferences and religion is something that should be left to the individual.\nTHe people who talk abnout it are either trying to come under media limelight or are plain idiots..


This is just an arguement i'm having with my wife,(bought on while watching big brother by the way),  i basically think that a high proportion (probably 90%) of transgender and transexuals (but not crossdressers)would be gay, my wife obviously does not, who is correct!    Cheers.

The wife's instinct is closer to correct.  I married a man, who was and is a straight man, but wished to become a woman.  If/when he does that, he will be a lesbian--still attracted to women.


The guy that killed my brother is in there and I want to know if this place is hardcore. I would also like to know if it is considered a prison?

yeah, my dad is an electrician who worked there. he said the only ppl he saw there were shackled and accompanied by guards. i dont know what constitutes a "prison" technically, but i'm pretty damn sure that if you're there, you're not having a good time. for a LONG time.


If you think about it, that is a hell of a big cup.

Edmonton dude, they are the most phyical team in hockey right now and with Pronger, Symth, Samsonov, Pisani, Torres, and most of all Horcoff, unstoppable.


The left advocates for intervention, without removing the Fascist government in Khartoum, which is no solution. In the case of the Marsh Arabs and the Kurds, they are no longer being massacred. Could you enlightened Liberals educate me about this double standard?

Don't fall for the standard Liberal crap. They are nothing but COWARDS! They don't have the manhood to stand up for what they claim to believe, so they get on TV and try to make everyoneelse feel guilty. This way they get others to do it and then they sit back and take the credit.\n\nYes, I said they are COWARDS!! George Clooney wouldn't fight to save the life of a family member. He would try to find a reporter and do a broadcast. This way someone would save his family member and he would brag that he saved him.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I'm not saying the Libs like Clooney have a YELLOW STREAK. I'm saying they are YELLOW from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet.\n\nThe way I look at it is, if he is so comitted to the cause, then put on some Camo's and get a rifle and get his sorry butt over their and start fighting for them.


im in desparate need of a simple explanitory topic related to science.  Help please?  Thankies!  :)

Discovery of the 10th planet!  Recent discovery.  Not much info. yet so no one can say if you are wrong on any point!


a) Dr. Phil b) Suzy Ormon c) What Not To Wear. All three offer a sense of self-help. However all three are VERY different in their individual ways. Thanks for taking the poll !


Go to this link.. tell me what you think!! Its funny\n\nhttp://www.ebaumsworld.com/flash/flashloops-fatdick.html


Thats the only thing my husband has did since hes been back could he choose to go to rehab and fix his drug problem or will they just send him back for violation? He went before the board of parole for it and he passed a drug tests for them on the 11 or 12th of april and then on the 21st of april they violated him for failing and picked him with a warrant on sunday do you think there was a mistake? we have been 2gether 5 years and I am pregnant an he is my only hope if anyone knows any kind of info. about this kind of stuff please help me! Thanks

The rules on what can or can not be done vary from state to state, and sometimes from court to court within a state.  The only way to get a real answer is to contact an attorney who does criminal law in your city/county.  \n\nYour husband may be entitled to a public defender on the parole violation.  Check with the public defender's office.\n\nContact the attorney he had at his criminal case.\n\nCall the local county bar association and ask if they have a referral service for criminal cases.


It happens about two to three times every month, I think it may be dehydration but am not sure. He is very skinny, he only weighs 71 lbs but he is also, 4' 9".

Plese have a Dr. or pediatrician check him out immediately. The vomiting itsel can cause dehydration. As others have said there could be any number of things that can cause a child to vomit like that. Have your Dr. do a complete blood workup on him, including looking for proper electrolyte balances of chemicals in bodies. If necessary take him to a gastrenterologist and have him put to sleep and have him check out his esophagus and stomach and possibly his colon. Plus have work to find any infections or viruses and types of food poisonindMight have an allergist test him too and a test 9blood work can show whether or not he has celiac disease or sprue. Don't wait and good luck


I'm glad we have "hot and cold" on this ol' planet. I like both types of weather and related sports.\n\nHowever, if I had to go with one, it's SUN!


Hi bellbree,\n\n I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church. I was somewhat acquainted with the structure as it was always mentioned in the newspaper's community section. Known as "The loft," folks would gather there on Thursday evenings for poetry readings. \nHowever, this day happened to be a Saturday afternoon and a pair of gentlemen greeted me as I walked by. They invited me inside to sample an hour of their presentation. Ok, I went inside and found myself to be a prospective new recruit for their brand of religion. \n\nMost of the pews were filled with hooded monks chanting a haunting rhythm. There were others who like me, were wearing their regular denims. The service began like most other church-goers would be familiar with. A grand master of ceremonies led the group through some songs and gave a sermon. Near the end of the hour it was time for their ritual of "laying on of the hands." Some of the parishioners would come forward and ask for prayers for their ailments or for a sick grand mum who fell down in the tub. All the hooded dudes whose faces could not readily be seen would all place a hand on the person and their combined energies were presumed to have a strength and expedite a solution to the problem. \n\nOK now, there was another new guy in the pews who was watching eagerly. I recognized Mark W. Reinhold from the wanted poster at the post office. When he saw a chance, he approached the ring of conspirators and described how he was never able to settle down. The hooded goons closed in upon him, all to make a physical connection. The master of ceremonies began a prayer, a dogmatic mix of logic and pure hocus-pocus. I immediately saw the effects as the tension went out of Mark's body. When the beseeching was near an end, the master asked, "Are the brothers ready?" \n\nA suspenseful few moments passed until he almost shouted, "NOW!" \n\nOn that cue, the brothers began to pummel their hapless victim. Continually delivering blows over head and to the solar plexus until Mark was down on the floor getting stomped. After another minute, the grand Pooh-Bah decided the treatment administered was sufficient to induce a relaxing calm that would assuage the nervousness in Mark for a long, long time. \n\nI can't say for certain that Mark W. Reinhold was apprehended and locked up because, I had a loaf of bread to buy and some other errands to do that day. I hope for you bellbree, that you find a sense of closure to this bad episode of life. \n\n-Bryce

The platypus and echidna both lay eggs and secrete milk-like nutrience from the skin sans nipples. They are both found in Australia.


Haven't people realized that his faults (which overall were few in comparison) are long past and have NOTHING to do with the current state of affairs?

Good Question !\nNot ALL republicans do however. Sweeping generalizations will not help us unit our country.\n\nTo be totally fair - every past president has something to do with our current state of affairs.\nThat being said, most of the past presidents were GOP : Reagan - Bush - My favorite Liberal - bush jr.


Seems if nearly every oz of energy were extracted from gasoline, the power would be immense and the range a car could drive on a gallon of gas would be much, much greater.\n\nIs Detroit supressing a revolution in fuel efficiency or is it just impossible to extract that energy with today's technology?

It isn't impossible to extract that energy, but it's impossible to use all of it for forward motion of a vehicle.\n\nAny transfer of energy into work in a practical machine will involve some losses. Heat, friction and so on. Could they make better use of the energy available? Depends on what the public would put up with. You know that a skateboard with a decent gas powered model car engine would get something on the order of 100 miles per gallon. But it is unlikely that the public would want to travel this way. On the other hand, a modern tank uses gallons per mile as a measure, and most of us wouldn't want to travel that way either. \n\nSo, to just look at milage is to miss the reasons we have cars in the first place, which is a complicated question of not just economics, but ego and lifestyle.\n\nThe compromise we have between mpg and the cars we drive is only one of many answers. You can look to other countries and other vehicles to get an idea of what other societies will accept in their cultures.\n\nFinally, consider your feet. Unlimited miles per gallon. And as a form of human transportation it's still one of the best and used in many parts of the world.


(Did you use a headset or standard microphone computer?) And if you've used Sony's Digital Voice Recorder with the software, does it work well when used at a distance from the speaker? Why would it or would it NOT be good for recording interviews?\n\nMuch thanks~

Dragon is one of the leading providers of dictation software.  Microsoft is another contender in this market.  Microsoft's voice and speech recognition will be built into their operating system (called Vista).  A good speech application based on Microsoft's speech engine is e-Speaking.  \n\nBut none of these systems would be good for recording interviews because they are all speaker dependent (i.e., the recognition that occurs is based on the computer's understanding of the particular speaker's speech patterns).  In an interview, there may be more than one speaker and so the software would have a difficult time distinguishing between them to perform the recognition.


Use the substitution x = tan(y) => x^2 +1 = sec^2(y) and\ndx = sec^2(y) dy.  After making the substitutions, you get \ntan^2(y)sec^2(y) dy in the numerator and\n[sec^2(y)]^3 = sec^6(y) in the denominator.\nCancel the sec^2(y) term and you are left with tan^2(y)dy in the numerator and sec^4(y) in the denominator.  Now, change the numerator to sec^2(y) - 1.  After that, break it up into two fractions, the first being sec^2(y)/sec^4(y) = 1/sec^2(y) = cos^2(y) and the second being 1/sec^4(y) = cos^4(y).\n\nSo, all you have to integrate is cos^2(y) - cos^4(y).  The easiest way is to factor out a cos^2(y) from both and rewriting it as cos^2(y)[1-cos^2(y)] = cos^2(y)sin^2(y) = 1/4[4cos^2(y)sin^2(y)] = 1/4[2sinycosy]^2 = 1/4[sin^2(y)].  Now, since sin^2(y) does not have an antiderivative, you must use the fact that sin^2(y) = 1/2{1-cos2y}.  Now, our integral becomes (1/4)(1/2)[1-cos4y]dy and we can integrate this to be 1/8 y - 1/8 [sin4y/4} = 1/8 y - 1/32 sin4y. Now, let's rewrite sin4y so that we can convert back to our original variable, x.  Using the double angle formula for sin, we have sin4y = 4sinycos^3(y) - 4sin^3(y)cos(y).  Now, we can rewrite this in terms of x as:\n\n1/8 y - 1/32{4[sinycos^3(y) - sin^3(y)cosy]} =\n1/8 arctanx -1/8[x/(x^2 + 1)^2 - x^3/[x^2 + 1]^2 + C.\nLet me know if you need further help.


I've been wearing contacts for about 3 months now, until I noticed my eyes got red. I went to the dr. and he says it's an allergy but that's impossible, since I didn't have any complaints about an allergy before.

how should debt relief fund be utilize in nigeria,how should debt relief funds be utilize in the educational system in nigeria

What really is "debt relief"? Think about it. The government is giving the big banks money that they might otherwise not get from the overloaded debtor nation. So, it's the G7 giving billions to their biggest banks.\n\nThis takes the load off the corrupt 3rd world governments who will either (a) spend their money wisely now or (b) pocket the extra cash, run up more debts, and put themselves back in the same boat. \n\nPick one.\n\nNigeria???? It's one of the biggest oil producers in the world. The last thing it should need is more money shovelled at it.\n\nMaybe what the bankrupt nations of the world need is to go into receivership, and have some outside group come over and run their country for them. (I think that's called "colonialism"). Someone who's more interested in developing roads, electrical systems, phones, education, clean water- all the things needed for a country to get on its feet. Unless that's what the money is for, it's wasted either way.


I do not think there is true love in the world ,or I do not know what love is,for I do not know who is my only love.So many people all around the world ,But I can not understandthem,even I

you cant force someone to love you.. every love is true, no such thing as false love for loving someone is as natural as breathing


I don't mean, it means it is not likely to rain.  I mean, where does the actual number come from.

matthew 30 % + 60 % does not equal 100 % also it means that there is a 3/10 chance of rain


what led you to believe Jesus was the Christ ?

this 1 prophecy in Isaiah\n\nIsa 53:12 Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.\n\nim more sure that Jesus is the messiah than im sure that i am sitting in front a computer.


kids litter on the highways and plant tree's that have been cut down to build all these huge Churches that steal more land for the balance of nature,  Would you give to a health care fund for the poor, My sanctuary is my land I have made beautiful by doing all this so why do you need these elaborite churches to pray. God doesn't care where you pray so if gas was 5.00 a gallon and you had only 50.00 dollars would you buy groceries or fill your tank to go to Church. Can you answer in a cival way?

I would buy groceries. It's clear God doesn't care if you go to church or not. He doesn't feed you.

to lose more, all you have to do is stay active...instead of sitting on the couch watching tv..do laundry or clean your house, take a walk.....and remember not to deprive yourself of certain things you crave, or it will all catch up with you and  you will eat everyhting in sight...if you want chocolate have a little sugar free choc pudding or something...just a little though...your on the right track...good luck
