My blood pressure runs 145/80 to 175/90.

Wow.  That is pretty high.  You can lower your blood pressure by:\n\n1.  Losing weight. \n2.  Exercising.\n3.  Eating the right foods.\n\n\nHowever, with BP as high as that, you're probably stuck on the meds.  Sorry.

They say Jesus gave his life for our sins. But he died on Good Friday and was resurrected Easter Sunday. So didn't He really just give up a weekend for our sins?

Yes, and so much more.  He gave His place at the right hand of God, would you?\n\nWould you give your life?  Would you give your own Sons life?  doubtful.


like manure?  I'm trying to understand idol-worship practices of my gf without asking her, because I don't want to ruffle feathers.

“In India, in particular, a symbolic image represents one or another of the ‘divine attributes’, which is called pratika, for it is neither an ‘idol’, nor does it take on any qualities from that thing which it really is, an aid to meditation and a supplementary means toward realization".\n                   -René Guénon (1886-1951)\n\nHuston Smith has said: " It is obtuse to confuse Hinduism’s images with idolatry, and their multiplicity with polytheism. They are 'runways' from which the sense-laden human spirit can rise for its "flight of the alone to the Alone". Even village priest will frequently open their temple ceremonies with the following beloved invocation:\n\n   O Lord, forgive three sins that are due to my human limitations:\n   Thou art everywhere, but I worship you here;\n   Thou art without form, but I worship you in these forms;\n   Thou needest no praise, yet I offer you these prayers and salutations,\n   Lord, forgive three sins that are due to my human limitations.    \n\n(source: The World's Religions - By Huston Smith p. 34).\n\nDiane L. Eck observes: "Hinduism is an imaginative, an "image-making, religious tradition in which the sacred is seen   as present in the visible world – the world we see in multiple images and deities, in sacred  places, and in people. The notion of darsan call attention as students of Hinduism, to the fact that India is a visual and visionary culture. God is eminently visible, although human beings have not always had the refinement of sight to see. Furthermore, the divine is visible not only in temple and shrine, bit also in the whole continuum of life – in nature, in people, in birth and growth and death.\n\nIts all together wrong to think that the images are idols as though the statue itself is being worshipped – they are reminders that the God who dwells in the depth of our souls. Wherever an alter is raised, there is the center of the universe. The world’s axis passes through it, yet no visible alter is no more than a symbol for the one time alter – the human heart and to say the cosmic axis pierces it is to say that it is in direct touch with the infinite. \n\n\nBy the way on what basis western religions including Islam believes god made man in it own image? hinduism declares god has no form so he is every form. but they seem to think god looks like humans .\n\nAdded:\n\n someone  below is trying to convert you now thats funny. \n\njust wanted to tell him i find that story of moses plus other stories too primitive. ya ya heard about him. the man who claimed god gave him messeges. i wonder why god was so shy that he talked to moses only. Why did god not address everybody.  why idolise  dead persons and indulge in social idolatery when you claim to be agaist idols..

If you do or now where I can find a movie Theater for sale put it in your answer.

I don't own a movie theatre, but I worked as a projectionist  for 6 years. I also used to set up 16mm film nights at various locales. And yes, it's a lot of work. It's also getting harder and harder to make a profit in that business.\n\nMost movie theatres are owned by large chains (AMC, UA, etc.) and they work closely with the major movie corporations and tend to focus on the big blockbusters etc. If you own an independent movie theatre you really can't hope to compete with them, so it's better to go into the "art house" cinema. Running old movies, foreign films, and art house films that the larger cinemas ignore.\n\nTheatre's are also changing as they start to change over to digital projection, so it may not be the best time to get into the cinema business as if you purchase one and set up a 35mm projector (very big and costly, but still the format of choice) in a few years you may find yourself having to shell out even more money to change over to digital projection (the format of the future, probably be standard in about 10 years).\n\nAnyway, once you get a building and set up your projection, etc. You'll then need to get in contact with a distribution house for prints to show, a distributor for concessions (snacks, drinks, etc. - where most of your money is made), and you'll need to start advertising. Show movies that people want to see, and they'll come. \n\nThe old Centre Theatre in downtown Jacksonville,FL used to be for sale (this was many years ago). It was lovely building, but it needed a lot of restoration work. Have no idea if it's been torn down, bought out, or what.\n\nIf you have any questions, feel free to send me a mail. (just click on my picture and use the contact button.) \n\nGood luck!


do you think mexicans give a flying f**&&^%&*&^^ about you,wake up they are out for themselves and their intrest not yours.damm so people are stupid.go and spend sometime in mexico open your eyes idiot.

I agree they will say and do anything to get what they want. it wouldn't be a problem if they allowed a small amount of immigrants a year, But 11 million that demand rights when they are not even legal.\n\nAvari you can't blame Mexico problems on someone else. just because a country have more than anothers does mean others are entiled to it. It would be difference if they ask to come here. If you go and still something that don't belong to you then your a robber, in this case land. Just because someone is poor doesn't mean Bill Gates should give money to them. because it his money and if he don't offer it then you can't have it. The US is not the place to start sending people because they are poor.


Seriously... who is better do you think?... Pele or Diego.

Maradona was great but Pele has no equal. Pele led Brazil to a World Cup title when he was 17, that is amazing and will never be equalled. There may be other young players to play in the World Cup but to lead the team to a title is another thing altogether. Pele won three World Cups and Maradona only one.The only thing Maradona had over Pele was that he played in Europe for 12 years.


Idoubt whether Indian Constitution permits such sectarian and exclusive agendas which wound the feelings of others.I strongly feel that the Election Commission should de-recognise such parties.

Goran Pandev. He is a striker and is currently the best Macedonian soccer player and along with Goce Sedloski, Petar Milosevski and Artim Sakiri, one of the rotating capitans of the national team.\n\nAs a youngster he was snapped up by Italian club Internazionale (Inter Milan), who loaned him out to Spezia and Ancona. In 2004, he moved to SS Lazio to play in the Serie A.

There are several things you can do.\n\n1.  Subscribe to MLB Extra Innings through your cable service.\n2.  You can subscribe to the MLB TVand view any and all games online with a high speed connection.  I did this last year and it was great.  There are lots of extras.\n3.  If you have digital cable, they have different packages for Fox Sports.  They may have one that will give you the Fox Sports Bay Area affiliate that carries the Giants.

The earth spins toward the east but the weather comes from the west and moves east at a faster speed. If you answer "the upper winds" then why do "they" go faster.

I guess you don't know how fast the Earth spins.\n\nFind that out and you will have a different question.\n\nHOW FAST IS THE EARTH SPINNING AROUND ITS AXIS?\nThe Earth is spinning around its axis. At the equator, the Earth's surface moves 40,000 kilometers in 24 hours. That is a speed of about 1040 miles/hr (1670 km/hr or 0.5 km/sec). This is calculated by dividing the circumference of the Earth at the equator (about 24,900 miles or 40,070 km) by the number of hours in a day (24). As you move toward either pole, this speed decreases to almost zero (since the circumference of the spinning circle at the extreme latitudes approaches zero).


I have been at my job for 4 years and it seems like the damn place is getting worse and i cant take it no more.we have new workers comeing in all the time and think they can take over and i am damn sick of it.The people I take care of are sick of it to.I work at Jerseyville Manor her in Illionis and i hate to say it but I wouldnt reaccomend nobody to work there.It is crazy were I work.Yah I love Working in the nursing home but iHate all the bosses on the front and ihate almost all of my co_workers except for five of them.It is pretty bad when the whole shift whants to quit.Even the addministratior is terrible.She aint even A nurse nor has she ever worked as an aid on the floor.So really I don't feel she should even wok there.She is 25 and has no knowledge of really what her job is.She has no compassion for any of the residents or anything and i think that is wrong of her.So really is worth the stress.

Hi I've worked as a CNA in a nursing home in Texas.I have been doin this kind of work since the summer of '92.Yes it is very stressful.When I first started reading your post I thought you were going 2 complain about the residents you take care of .Because to me that can sometimes be stressful as well.But it can be hard to do this kind of work when there are people constantly bugging u about how to do this or that. if you really feel that these "bosses" are not qualified to do the job you can call an agent for the elderly in your state or town.Or even go so far as to call state.because one mistake by these people could cause harm to an elderly person.this call is completely anonymous.This way people can come in and check the credentials of everybody that works there.I know that this is a hard job and that we are greatly under appreciated.But you sound like you have alot of compassion for the work you are trying to do.If you don't want to call state then I suggest you find another home to work at because from what I've seen dedication to the elderly is hard to find. Good luck!!!!


friend diagnosed withit but swears she nor her husband has cheated? they have been married for 8 years and she was recently diagnosed.

It's absolutely possible.  Most women who are infected with Gonorrhea do not show symptoms & may never know they have it until permenant damage is done to the reproductive system, or happen to get tested for it.  Men tend to show symptoms more than women, but it's also entirely possible that a man also would be symptomless.  \n\nWith that said - symptoms will not just "pop" up after being infected for a long time.  If you're going to have symptoms - it will happen with 2 to 10 days after infection.\n\nShe and her husband absolutely must be treated - it's easy to get rid of with antibiotics.


WHAT'S THE BEST OPTION WITH GREAT  CREDIT SCORE?\nMORTGAGE BANKER VERSE BANKS  WHERE TO GO

I would have to say mortgage brokers. Mortgage brokers have a choice in many mortgage companies and a lot of them offer special deals for loans due to the competition whereas banks usually offer just a few types of loans.\n\nOne of the biggest mistakes that homeowners make is not researching and checking around before deciding on a loan. I would go to several banks and mortgage brokers and tell them what I need, then compare the loans offered. (Be sure to get a copy of the credit report if a bank pulls one. Multiple inquiries into your credit can make your credit lower.)\n\nBefore you go to a bank or mortgage broker though, research types of loans and the current interest rate for that day. Interest rates change alot and its important info to know. Do you want a 30 yr fixed or 15 fixed? This can also effect the interest rate you get. Since you have a good credit score, you should be able to get a pretty good interest rate. Also ask about special programs or promotions. Some mortgage companies offer special promotions such as lower closing costs and etc.. Don't forget to ask the fees that banks and mortgage brokers tack onto your loan. Paper fees and etc can be waived if you make a big fuss over it.

I've been running for a while now, but the more I run, the more difficulty i have with my right hip.  The first 10 - 20 steps are agony, then it settles down.  Its on the outside of my right leg about even with my glutes ( ie. its not actually the hip bone, its kind of at the top of my leg )  and sometimes depending on how I stand or stretch I can feel it pop back and forth over the bone.  The reason i think its hamstring is because I have knee problems with the patella pulling to the side cause my quads are stronger than the inner thigh muscles and I think it might be related.  Can't seem to find something that will stretch the outside enough though. Any ideas?

Try these before you run:\n\n1. Do a forward lunge as far as you can go. Be sure to keep the heel down on the leg in back. Keep the toes down as you bend the leg in front. When you feel the stretch, hold for at least 10 seconds, then switch legs. \n\n2. Lay down on your back. Pull one leg across the other until it faces out from your torso (or as far as it can go) So one leg is sticking out and one is down like normal. You might feel a little tingle in yur foot at first. Hold this position for at least ten seconds, then swap legs.\n\n3. I call this reverse lunge:\nBend the knee in back and stick the one leg out as far as you can like you are taking a giant step, being sure to keep your toes down. Hold for 10 seconds. Now shift your weight forward, bending the front leg but not the back, until you are doing a lunge like in #1. Hold fr 10 seconds. Switch back, then switch legs and repeat.\n\n4. Sit on floor or mat with knees straight. Reach toward or beyond toes or bring torso toward legs. Hold stretch for atleast 10 seconds. Spine should be kept straight. Keep knees straight by tensing Quadriceps. \n\n5. Lie down with one leg straight up in the air, the other bent with foot flat on the ground. Loop a towel over the arch of the lifted foot, and gently pull on the towel as you push against it with your foot. Push only to the point where your muscles contract. Stretch both legs for at least 10 seconds each (as usual)\n\nHope this helps!\n\np.s. if the first steps are agony, try walking to warm up and gradually increasing speed unti you are running -OR- lungewalking the first steps

Very frustrating.  He always come in a close second.\n\nAny info or feedback would be great!!

He can apply for civil service accounting jobs with the federal government and state and local governments. The more there is on the application, the greater the chance of getting a job as they rank on the qualifications\nDoes his resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what he wants to do. An objective of finding an interesting job in management goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding an accounting job where I can utilize my strong _______  gets kicked over to the accounting dept. Some depts like purchasing also use accountants. Is he only looking at ads or is he taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if he can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Has he told everyone he knows that he is looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know.

I've been in my studio for almost 1 year. My lease ends in July and I love my current apartment and the realtor that rents it, but I think I should get a 1-bedroom. Is it too soon to ask? When should I and how do I pose this question to the real estate agency?

Ask now. Why wait? Get your name in first. I did the same thing in my old building (went from a studio to a one bedroom). The circumstances were slightly different, but it was no big deal. Call them today and set it up. If you've been a good tenant, there should be no problem and they'll be glad to rent it to someone already there.


Please, serious, informed answers only. Thank you.


I fell last week at the local Winn Dixie store into a display of gazebos.  My husband took pictures because they had so many products and machines stacked into a small area.  He thought they should pay our medical bills.  The Risk Department called me yesterday and told me that they do not have medical insurance (they are self insured) and are therefore not responsible for any of my bills, but they will contact the store to see if the store can pay any out of pocket expenses.  It appears I have hurt my rotator cuff and hip but cannot receive treatement until after the baby is born. My doctor told me that unless something is black and falling off they can't do a thing for me until August.   Has anyone else ever heard of a business not having coverage for medial expenses?

It doesn't matter.\nThey are self-insured and since they are you can sue them for any negligence.\nFirst of all, you need to contact a personal injury attorney and tell them your story.\nYou are likely going to have to pay all of your medical bills for right now and probably have a very good case to make a recovery at some point, but it may take some time.\nYou really need to gather up and preserve as much evidence as you can.\nYou may need to find out if the area in the store was covered by a security camera.  You may need to preserve that right away, so you may need a subpoena, which means you need legal help on that soon.\nDon't delay.

Last time I had my period was exactly two months ago. My period has always been unsteady, since I was 13. I always use a condom, but just for caution I made a pregancy test. So no need to worry right?

Many things can contribute to irregular cycles. Stress, high levels of emotion, physical activities such as sports, and yes pregnancy. If you are sexually active there is always that possibility; so yes a pregnancy test would be prudent in finding out.  I would also suggest a visit to your GYN Dr.  They can help determine what causes this with you, and steps to take to help you become regular.

im an actor, sort of film maker, a poet, a writer and a graphic web designer

Vassar's theatre and film department is absolutely fantastic.  So is their English department.  The creative writing courses are extremely hard to get into, though.  You have to submit a portfolio, and the professors choose the students with the most talent.\n\nHampshire differs in that it is very small and self-directed.  At Hampshire, you are often doing independent study rather than attending formal classes.  It's very interdisciplinary, though.\n\nIf you would benefit from a bit more structure, choose Vassar.  But keep in mind that at Vassar, you can also design your own major, and do independent studies as you choose.\n\nI went to Vassar, and recommend it without reservation.  It was the best decision I could have made. \n\nOh, and quite a few of my Vassar classmates from '84 and '85 are now respected actors and filmmakers.\n\nHere's the last bit of advice you'll need: Check out \nhttp://www.collegeconfidential.com\nand search for both Vassar and Hampshire.  You'll find great discussion groups for both, and lots of current students willing to give advice.

I am 41. I have a good paying job. Single and good looking, Go to school part time and am having a 200+ home built. I can't seem to find a beautiful, patient, available, and truthful woman.

True Love ....\n\nIt's as mysterious as the stars it was written on, as elusive. It is everything it's hyped about to be. It's worth taking every risk, it's worth fighting for, and the problem is if you don't risk all then you risk even more. Love is kind of an elixir that lures us out of reality and into the realm of fantasy. It's like a drug creating an altered state of consciousness.\n\nLove is the moment when an unfavorable act becomes favorable, when you make excuses for some one else's mistakes, when you learn to tolerate, when you learn acceptance, when sacrificing becomes the beauty of life. \n\nIt's the courage to tell the truth especially when you believe its unspeakable.\n\nIt's the time when seeing some one, being seen by some one and thinking about some one feels good, when you learn to find happiness in the smallest of moments.\n\nThat's love--when you learn to put down your ego and love some one more than that.\n\nLove is forgetting your self and remembering some one else. \n\nLove is choosing your partner exactly as he is, and supporting him in his choices. It's honoring your partner's truth and wanting best for him.\n\nIt's not controlling or possessing but rather respecting and trusting.\n\nIt does not mean owning some one, getting some one, rather it means being happy in your loved one's happiness.\n\nLove means living without judgments. It means treasuring your beloved and never taking him for granted. \n\nLove means being able to forgive and learning to give more then you get. It means reaching out when you don't want to, communicating rather than assuming and asking questions rather than jumping to conclusions.\n\nIt means working things out rather than fighting, fighting rather than leaving, and staying through the hurts and disappointments, knowing that through commitment all can be healed. \n\nFalling in love is like being enveloped in a magical cloud. The air feels fresher, the flowers smell sweeter, food tastes more delectable, and the stars shine more brightly at night. You feel light and lofty as though you are floating through life, and your problems and challenges suddenly seem insignificant and easily surmountable. Your body feels alive, your skin tingles and you awaken in the morning with a smile on your face. You are suspended in a state of supreme delight.\n\nLove is a feeling and an action that arises from the most primal place within us. Making a relationship however, is a process that is learned. A relationship is the vessel that carries the precious cargo of love through time.\n\nRelationships are like a precious antique lamp; it takes a little polish and some effort to restore it to its valuable condition. A relationships love and luster will only improve with age if you continually give it the care that keeps it beautiful. But once you uncover its essential beauty it will bring you joy for years to come.\n\nAfter having said all this I want to say that you have to make the decision on your own, on one hand love is magic, on the other it's time tested relationship worked hard and furiously at.


they always tend to look over the ball for about 5 seconds, throw it back and then run to the dugout

the folks who said they're checking for scuff marks are correct.  Players don't mind if THEIR pitcher uses a scuffed ball, but they don't want the other team's pitcher to have that opportunity. So if the ball is scuffed, they'll toss it into the stands when the inning is over so that the umpire will be forced to supply a clean ball for the team coming up to bat.

my mother had custody of my niece because my sister dident want her when she was born, my mom was in the middle of adopting her so she could leave her to my husband and I, but passed away from brain cancer before the adoption was legal. the day we came down to get her my sister told us she wanted her back,we talked about it but since I had no legal ground to take my niece she went to live with her mom. my niece was in tears when I told her, she still begs me everytime I visit to take her with me, I if I could I would, my mom passed away the next day, and the day after that my grandfather, I felt like I lost everything, I think of her as my daughter,&she calls me mom, I know most people think the parents should have their kids, but her mom is unfit to raise her daughter, she leaves dirty diapers around the house for weeks at a time on the floor when she has her son, and food rotting on counters in the kitchen & bathroom, &worse stuff. what age can she leave home without mom's permision?

It depends on what state you live in. call social services if you're that worried. You may not get her but she'd be safer.

I need to connect multiple displays to a single PC. Each display will show different information. Think of it as something like flight arrival displays you would see in an airport

I'd read somewhere, can't place the source, that 8 monitors is the limit on a deskop pc. That is subject to you getting 4 display card's each supporting 2 monitors.


Do you think that a person should go to college as soon and they grad. highschool? Please answer honestly and from your own personal experences! In todays world most women are looked down on if she does not go to a college..but I just dont feel like the Lord is leading me to go..for not at least. What do you think I should do? Should I just try to find a good job for now? Or should I go and try it out?\n\n\nPlease and Thankyou.

I was in the same situation as you..\nat the end of high school I had a million people telling me I had all the potential, and where was I going to college? \nI had mixed feelings about all this..  should I just go to make every one else happy? or what?  ..\n I decided that college wasn't the right thing for right away.. mostly because I didn't have any money and I was afraid of spending money on something I wasn't really sure I wanted to do anyway...\nIt took me one year out of High school to realize how much I missed being in school and missed the interaction with peers and all that...\n I also came to a realization that I really did have a passion in life and I finally decided to peruse it regardless of what other people told me about women in the profession... I moved 3000 miles to the other side of the country.. I took a huge risk in asking my BF of 4 years at that point to come with me or loose me... and I am now in my 3rd out of 5 yrs in architecture school and I am actually ranked 1st in my class.....\nmy point in telling my "life story" is that some times you just need some time to yourself to step back and reflect on where and who you are..  I know it sounds cheesy but during that year off I learned  a llot about "the real world" and myself and knew that I could do better than $8.25/hr at my local retail store ...  good luck.. you sound like an intelligent girl, trying to make the right decision...\nmy advice is talk to your parents but don't feel as though you are disappointing them if you don't want the same thing as them.. look into some colleges or even some certificate programs.. like massage therapy and other one year programs.. most community colleges have them...  see if you are finding anything you are interested in... if not there is nothing wrong with taking a year off.. and besides that year will be a good time to save money if you do decide to go to college....but like I said you are an intelligent person.. you just have to find "your thing"    good luck in life :)\n but like the other girl said ..  college is a great experience and you don't want to regret never going... or at least trying :)


In Smallville, season 5, the episode called "void" (april 6,2006) Lex Luther died and saw his mother in the afterlife.  His mother was playing this song in when Lex first sees her.  Later on, Lex is playing this song when Lana walks in.  I missed the title.

I believe you're referring to Impromptu by Franz Schubert; unfortunately, they didn't mention the title at all in the episode, and only a small portion of the piece was played.


I am writing an essay, and i can't find how it "changed the future of Oppenheim forever". Please help!

When matter is converted into energy, what happens to the gravity it was emitting? Is the sun constantly losing gravity?

During fusion hydrogen is converted into helium and the mass does NOT stay the same.  A small fraction of the mass is lost to energy, and this how the sun produces all its energy.  So yes the sun is losing mass and the force of gravity is decreasing but the fraction of the mass that it is losing is negligible.


I have 4 movie files, 1 and a half hours each and would like to burn them all onto one DVD disc. Is there a program that will allow me to do that? Would Nero work? If there is a program, please provide steps of the process. \n\nThank you in advance.

It mainly depends on how much storage space each file is.  As long as they all ad up to less than 4.7 Gigabytes, it can fit on one disc.  if not, you'll need multiple discs.  And, yes, Nero should work for that.\n\n-Nick\n\n(a DVD's capacity is 4.7 GB, or about 5 CD's)

Ive been reading around, and well theres just so much ignorance and hate out there. Why? Of course the question is self explanatory, ignorance breeds ignorance, but still id like some comments.

Probably because there are some ignorant people out there.  There are some people who genuinely come to "Y Answers", looking for serious answers.  While others view it as an opportunity to ask irrelevant or sometimes disgusting questions.  Therefore, when you have a good number of people being silly and derogatory in their questions, you'll get silly and derogatory responses, and at times those people will spill over onto questions that are quite sincere.  I'm not trying to excuse anyone's behavior. I'm just thinking maybe that's the reason why so many people act so immature on here.  I must admit, though, that it doesn't bother me as much anymore because there are 10 responsible, fun and respectful people for every one of those ignorant ones.


Now i lost my mind,wonder where that is.Where do you think it is

don't worry about it man, it will turn up eventually.\njust relax and watch a dvd.


Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved?  It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life, and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you. And that prince who, relying entirely on their promises, has neglected other precautions, is ruined; because friendships that are obtained by payments, and not by greatness or nobility of mind, may indeed be earned, but they are not secured, and in time of need cannot be relied upon; and men have less scruple in offending one who is beloved than one who is feared...

Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince".\n\nIt's a good read.\n\nEDIT: Anyways, I feel it is better to be feared. Like Machiavelli said, love is too easily discarded to rely on it.

Problem #1: Population \n\nThe first problem I see with the current state of the immigration laws is the significant rise in population that has, and will, continue to occur over the next fifty years. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an estimated 1.1 million immigrants, both legal and illegal, enter the United States every year. 700,000 of these are legal immigrants; 120,000 are refugees, and between 250,000 to 300,000 are undocumented or illegal “aliens” ( Baldwin, 1995). The United States population at the moment is roughly 288 million people. If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold? \n\nProblem #2: Benefits Illegal Aliens Recieve \n\nCurrently, under federal law, undocumented foreign citizens are eligible for emergency healthcare, free schooling from kindergarten through high school, and W.I.C. or Woman, Infants, and Children nutritional program ( Baldwin, 1995). This is important to note because there are currently between eight and ten million aliens currently living illegally in the United States. An estimated 2.5 million of these illegal aliens currently reside in the state of California alone, due to the agricultural jobs that are readily available for cheap labor (Kadetsky, 102). It should not be surprising then that the residents of California were outraged over the amount of money that they were being forced to spend, and the amount of resources that were being used to support aliens that are not “allowed” to be in the United States in the first place. \n\n \n\nProblem #3: Homeland Security\n\nIn the Fiscal year of 2002, which runs October 1 through September 30, the United States Coast Guard, which is the country’s primary maritime, or sea going, law enforcement agency, intercepted 4104 immigrants from various South American countries (USCG, Para 2). Since then, the numbers of immigrants intercepted by the Coast Guard, has continued to climb at an alarming rate; jumping to almost 11,000 in 2004, 9,500 in 2005, and currently with less than two months into the 2006 physical year, there have already been 1,000 migrants accounted for and processed through the Coast Guard (USCG, Para 1). Illegal immigration can potentially cost American tax payers billions of dollars a year. The United States Coast Guard, whose primary obligation is to prevent the loss of life at sea, can not stop this problem by its self, it is mearly the first line of defense. It is up to the rest of America to join the fight and help put an end to this awful practice.\n\n\nthanks cherokee rose i put my signature on  petition you rock

The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that but they then show the most rapid improvement. \nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html...\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html...\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtool...\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/ns/xx/nsxx7l...\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.


My cat had breast cancer, We took her to the Vet to have the tumor removed. We wrote them a check. And that check has never been cashed. We ask our bank and they confirm it. We called the Vet and they swear up and down they got the money from it. What would you do?\n\nPut a stop payment on it and say oh well Vet.. Thanks for the free services?\n\nOr prove to the Vet the check was never cashed, Have them pay half of the stop payment fee and write a new check?\n\nOr some other solution?

well i hope your cat is better..but honesty is the BEST policy...the vet saved your cat, but if the vet says the bill is paid that means that they credited your account with someone elses money or the check got dropped in the trash after they credited your account..so its tough to answer this question...you can resend them a check and then you will have a credit i am sure or you can show the vet that they didnt receive the money or you can DONATE the money that the vet charged you and say you have paid, to the local animal shelter..good luck!


Fifteen rowing teams entered a regatta. First, Second, and third places will be given to the three fastest teams. how many arrangements of first, second and third are possible?

15! gives you the answer to how many combinations of placings you can get for all 15 teams.  That's not what you want.  You're just looking at the top three.  The answer is 15x14x13. Why? There are 15 possible teams that could get 1st place. Pick one. That leaves 14 possible teams that could get 2nd. Pick one. That leaves 13 possible teams that could get third. The number of possible combinations of this is then equal to 15x14x13.


I've heard of this alleged place on the outskirts of Tokyo called the Himikyru Mansion. Supposedly, its the heart of an urban legend that has to do with a haunted mansion and a series of murders that took place there around 1900.\n\nHas anyone heard of this before?\nIs it true?

i HAVE HEARD IT. FROM A FRIEND IN TOKYO. tHERE IS SOME TRUTH TO IT


and if he doesnt feel the same way even though youre not sure would you ruin the relationship or carry on with platonic love ?

alright hun obviously there is something going on within your present relationship that has you wanting this other man. But even if there is a man's best friend is a subject YOU BETTER BE PREPARED TO TACKLE IF YOU PERSUE. Because like the saying goes, girlfriends and boyfriends come and go, but a best friend last forever. They've known each other longer than you and trust me from experience they will turn on you. I lost a good man at that time because i persued his best friend. Hun, unless you can deal with the consequences, back off and let him come to you if he feels the same way. If he doesn't then you have your answer and accept it. But if u feel u need to know go for it, but be prepared for what comes down the road


It was in the Treaty of Verdun where the three sons of Louis the Pios (who has succeeded Charlemagne and inherited his kingdom) divided the Carloingian Empire into three parts. Though often presented as the beginning of a devolution or dissolution of Charlemagne's unitary empire, it in fact reflected the continued adherence to the Frankish idea of a partible or divisible inheritance rather than primogeniture where only the eldest son inherits.


i have to move becuz there is bad stuff going on by my house.

If you have to move to stay safe, then get yourself going. Don't worry about the new school you'll be attending. It only takes a couple of weeks to get used to anything new, and I'm sure you'll make a couple of friends by then. I had to move a lot when I was young and I really hated it. Just when I got used to things, my parents would tell me to pack my stuff and we'd move again...six months here, a year there. I went to 5 different schools. But, I do have to say that the last move I made was for the best. We lived on the south side of Chicago and things were getting really bad. I'm so very glad we moved, moving over 200 miles north. It made me relax quite a bit, and I even did better in school, not having to worry about anyone hassling me after school. So, don't worry, little one, things will work out. Especially since it seems your family wants a better life than what they have in your current neighborhood. These things have a way of turning out much better than you could ever imagine. <*)))><

This is legislation from South Africa, and I am specifically looking for the contents of Chapter 2 of this Act called "Tissue, Blood and Gametes of Living Persons, and Blood Products" which covers sections 18 - 23 of this Act.

I have been working in Higher Education for quite some time and I have a little money built up in my TIAA-CREF account (403b account).  If I were to ever leave Higher Education, what would happen to that money?  Could I roll it over to an IRA or ROTH IRA?  The money in the account is 100% employer contributed - I have no contributed anything to it.\n\nAny help would be appreciated.

The answer to this question depends on the plan documents that created the plan. Typically an employee can keep accumulated balances in a 403(b)when leaving employment with a qualified employer. However since all the funds are employer contributions you should check the plan document to see what the vesting rules are, if any. Since you say that you have been employed in Higher Ed for a quite some time its likely that you have satisfied any vesting requirements. Your employer can also give you this information.  \n\nRollovers of 403(b) contributions are usually governed by the plan documents that created the 403(b). It can be difficult to roll the funds over into another qualified 403(b) plan. You cannot roll a 403(b) in an IRA or a Roth IRA.


my bite is fine. its just that i have space in my front teeth. braces could close them but its expensive and takes a long time. veneers would be instant but im afraid that it would look fake. what should i get?

You are still young, get braces b/c they will also aid in repelling any future perio dz and be easier to clean throughout your life.  Also, for veneers to be applied, tooth structure needs to be taken away and it also gives plaque a place to hide out at the gumline leading to perio disease. I had braces at 17...not as bad as it sounds just remember to wear your retainer at night always!!!

I have been trying to find a job for the longest. I don't really have the type of experience that most employers look for. When I apply for jobs, I go for those that I know I can do. I have alot of gaps within the dates on my resume. I've only worked 2 jobs and I'm 25 now. I do plan on going back to school but I want to work as well. For a little over a year, I didn't work cause I took care of my mom while she was sick. Now that she has gone on with the Lord, I have nothing but time. I'm ready to work now. Would like to hear from someone.

There are many creative way to overcome gaps in employment and/or lack of exp. It would take entire page to name them all. Find a friend in mangement ask him what he looks for. Another tool is ask a recruiter or employment counselor what these tools are. You will find you do have exp you didnt know you had that can go on your resume.

I recently dated a man that was in Iraq for a year and he came back with a totally different outlook on life, and love. Was it something I did wrong that caused us to break up or was it something that changed in him?

He has seen things and probably had to do things that you couldn't understand. We live in a fake world from what is going on in the rest of the world. I think a change in out look is to be expected. I don't think the break up was anyone's fault. He may just need more time to adjust to being back.

It's a really mellow song with only a woman singing over a melody. A techno beat comes into it for a little bit, but not for long.

I've checked the website already, but they're not too keen on e-mails sent to them. Also, I'd feel like a loser if I asked a sales associate in the store...what do ya think?


i have a couple of laptop  , which is better usb wireless or pc card  and which brand, for internet access at home \n\nmy home desktop ahs a wireless router

From my experience most brands all work about the same, usb or pci card too.  USB can sometimes get a bit better signal if they have a cord to go with them because you can better adjust it's location to receive the signal better.  But other than that they work the same.  The only variance with brands is usually the support.  Go with a name brand like Linksys for good support to go along with it.

A close relative has had a large brain tumour removed measuring 5cm by 4cm deep. Symptoms were, speech alteration, losing control of the left side of the body, changes in character.  Are there alternative remedies out there and what are the chances of the tumour recurring.  Any info would be gratfully received.

Try following the doctors recommendations but also don't worry about getting a second opinion. Ask around in your community for a homeopathic doctor (I am going to see one in my community soon) and just call and ask, an appointment might not even be necessary.  Also anything that is high in antioxidants will help.

How do i get a background on mine\nsee for yourself. I have no background\nWWW.MYSPACE.COM/STEPHENEDWARD \nI want too fix this problem. help me and get 10 points

the website below gives you the option to customize your myspace page and add pictures.


1....What does the universe look like beyond the limits to our visible universe? To answer this question, we would have to be able to 'see' to distances farther than light has been able to travel since the Big Bang. Big Bang theory and general relativity say that their is a lot more space beyond the 15 billion light years horizon limit, but we will never be able to see if the same kinds of galaxies as those around us exist 'out there'.\n\n2...What were the conditions in the universe like at a time less than one second after the Big Bang?. Right now, we can use the COBE and WMAP data to examine how lumpy the universe was at about 300,000 years after the Big Bang, but we will not be able to directly explore what the universe was like earlier than about one second until we can use neutrinos, and they are very hard to detect in large enough numbers to form an 'image'.\n\n3...What was the state of the universe like 'prior' to the Big Bang? The only known way to probe these conditions is to have at hand a 'Theory of Everything' that combines gravity with the rest of the forces we know about into a single mathematically rigorous description. To test this theory to make certain it is consistent with the way the physical world operates, we need to perform experiments at energies trillions of times higher than any technology can now imagine providing under laboratory conditions. Even so, we cannot really directly explore the cosmological conditions except by trying to re-create them in the laboratory, and from this assuming that the Big Bang worked the same way.

1 and 3 cant be answered other than by speculation\n\n2-According to current theory, the first physically distinct period in the Universe lasted from "time zero" (the Big Bang itself) to 10-43 second later, when the universe was about 100 million trillion times smaller than a proton and had a temperature of 1034 K. During this so-called Planck era, quantum gravitational effects dominated and there was no distinction between (what would later be) the four fundamental forces of nature – gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force, and the weak force. Gravity was the first to split away, at the end of the Planck era, which marks the earliest point at which present science has any real understanding. Physicists have successfully developed a theory that unifies the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, called the Grand Unified Theory (GUT). The GUT era lasted until about 10-38 second after the Big Bang, at which point the strong force broke away from the others, releasing, in the process, a vast amount of energy that, it is believed, caused the Universe to expand at an extraordinary rate. In the brief ensuing interval of so-called inflation, the Universe grew by a factor of 1035 (100 billion trillion trillion) in 10-32 seconds, from being unimaginably smaller than a subatomic particle to about the size of a grapefruit.\n\nPostulating this burst of exponential growth helps remove two major problems in cosmology: the horizon problem and the flatness problem. The horizon problem is to explain how the cosmic microwave background – a kind of residual glow of the Big Bang from all parts of the sky – is very nearly isotropic despite the fact that the observable universe isn't yet old enough for light, or any other kind of signal, to have traveled from one side of it to the other. The flatness problem is to explain why space, on a cosmic scale, seems to be almost exactly flat, leaving the universe effectively teetering on a knife-edge between eternal expansion and eventual collapse. Both near-isotropy and near-flatness follow directly from the inflationary scenario.\n\n\nElectroweak Era (10-38 to 10-10 second)\n\nAt the end of inflationary epoch, the so-called vacuum energy of space underwent a phase transition (similar to when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses as water droplets in a cloud) suddenly giving rise to a seething soup of elementary particles, including photons, gluons, and quarks. At the same time, the expansion of the universe dramatically slowed to the "normal" rate governed by the Hubble law. At about 10-10 seconds, the electroweak force separated into the electromagnetic and weak forces, establishing a universe in which the physical laws and the four distinct forces of nature were as we now experience them.\n\n\nParticle Era (10-10 to 1 second)\n\nThe biggest chunks of matter, as the Universe ended its first trillionth of a second or so, were individual quarks and their antiparticles, antiquarks – the underlying particles out of which future atoms, asteroids, and astronomers would be made. As time went on, quarks and anti-quarks annihilated each other. However, either because of a slight asymmetry in the behavior of the particles or a slight initial excess of particles over antiparticles, the mutual destruction ended with a surplus of quarks. Only because of this (relatively minor) discrepancy do stars, planets, and human beings exist today.\n\nBetween 10-6 and 10-5 second after the beginning of the Universe, when the ambient cosmic temperature had fallen to a balmy 1015 K, quarks began to combine to form a variety of hadrons. All of the short-lived hadrons quickly decayed leaving only the familiar protons and neutrons of which the nuclei of atoms-to-come would be made. This hadron era was followed by the lepton era, during which most of the matter in the Universe consisted of leptons and their antiparticles. The lepton era drew to a close when the majority of leptons and antilepton


do you prefer the open air of an outdoor venue, or do you think the confinement works better for sound?

To get the best sound at a concert, an outdoor venue is usually best. The free airspace means you only get the direct sound from the speakers. You don't have all the phase cancellations that you would get from an indoor venue. Unless you have a venue that is acoustically treated very well; the sound from an outdoor venue is typically unmatched. \n\nWhen you are inside a confined venue (anything with walls) you will always have some natural reverberation from the acoustics of the room. The problem with this is that it causes the sound to be continued longer than it was supposed to which can cause a "muddiness" in the sound. Also when you are inside a venue you typically hear a lot of the stage volume, instead of the engineered sound coming through the PA. \n\nThings like the guitar amps on stage, stage monitors for the artist onstage typically don't sound very good and can seem overpowering when standing in the front row. For example when you are right in front of the stage and on the side of the guitar player and he has his amp turned up all the way you will typically hear his guitar more than anything else, and likewise for the bass player. When you are at an outdoor venue the stage is typically larger and you are further away from the sound coming from the stage.\n\nI'm not saying that all outdoor venues sound good, you have to be at a venue that is designed well. Typically outdoor venues the audience is on a inclined surface made out of cement. Which can cause a "slap back" effect. Which basically means you hear the sound 2 times, once from the speaker and the second sound from the reflection off the cement surface. But this is greatly reduced when the venue is filled with people, they usually soak up the reflected sound. The Best scenario would be an outdoor venue that has a grass field on an incline, instead of cement. \n\nTo hear the concert best you would want to be right in front or behind the sound guy because he is what is changing the sound to make it sound best, and is constantly compensating for the sound coming from the stage.


After me and my bf are done having sex he likes to turn over...the problem is I like to hold him or have him hold me but he always says he is hot so he lays infront of the fan. After 10 mins I try to put my arm around him he says I want to go to bed now ok and gives me a kiss goodnight. What shoudl I tell him?

Most guys do that, but i think you should at least try to talk to hime about it. Maybe if you let him know how you feel he might try to change. If he doesn't care well then he shouldn't be your boyfriend.


I only asked one person and i'd like to hear more opinions on this matter, and of course what the use of names might be and if you think their purpose is understandable. I have no idea about this and I am rather curious. I'd also like to know if names are used in afterlife in other religions beside Christianity. Thanx for ur answers :)

"Hell" is the common grave of mankind, so everyone who dies goes there to await resurrection on the last day. They don't need a name while they are in the grave.\n\n(Acts 24:15) there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous\n\n(John 11:24) Martha said to him [Jesus]: “I know he [my brother] will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”


Ive kown this really attractive woman for a while now and when i first met her a while ago i made the mistake of coming on to strong time has past since and i guess it just bin swept under the carpet anyway while i was out last night with people i over hurd a conversation with too lads and one of them is gona ask her out some time, petty i know but just kinda got me messed up inside.\ni might be goin out with her 2night (as firends)\n\nhelp on my situation plz..

If it got you messed up then it sounds like you're still into her? Does she give you signs that make you think she likes you? What is your heart telling you to do? You only have one life and you have to make the most of it, please bear that in mind. Also, how good is your friendship? Are you settling for friendship, because you couldn't go out with her originally, or do you truly care about her as a friend? Try to establish what it is you do feel, then act upon it. Or are you messed up cos u think these guys may try to use her, and as a mate you're looking out for her?


My bf enjoys sex topic but I'm shy to react and share my thoughts because he might misinterpret me for being a flirt or for being not sincere with him. He asks me questions regarding sex too.  I'm shy, should I open up or what?

You don't seem comfortable with your bf. If you are still shy with him, ask yourself why? Why can't you open up with him? Better know yourself before you proceed. \nCommunication will be a good way to let him know how you feel, if this is just your nature even with intimate partner. If he can understand your apprehension, he make try to change his conversation with you.\nBest for you two will be to be comfortable with each other, where there is no barrier too what you both can do. Remove any possible misunderstanding in your relation and talk.


On Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be:\n\n01:02:03 04/05/06.

Whoopee.  And next year an 02:03:04 on 05/06/07 a similar magical occasion will occur.  And Ill sleep right through them both.


where can i find the schedule of Indonesia national Football for 2007?

I can't find anything for 2007 - have a look at the FIFA link below for 2 forthcoming friendlies in 2006. The other link is to the Indonesian football ferderation and may well have what you want (if you can read it - I can't!)

hello i want to ask that is dsl fast or it is slow what is the real average speed on net ? can i connect two or three computers at a time to the net from one dsl connection \n\nwhat things are required to connect two or three pcs at a time

if you are using SBC Yahoo DSL, it has 3 speeds, Express (up to 1.5M download, 312k upload) Pro (Guaranteed 1.5M down going up to 3M down, by 512k up) then Expert (guaranteed 3M download, up to 6M down and 608k upload).  they have different prices, but the cheapest is $12.99 a month.  Most users will never notice the difference between the speeds because the Internet doesn't usually take that much bandwidth yet.  I really like the Pro speed and i use a lot of bandwidth.  that is what i recommend.  I think you really have to be using the Internet a lot to justify the Export package.  seems like overkill to me.\n\nAs far as your phone line being busy, DSL does not tie up the line like a dial up plan works.  DSL is constantly on and runs along your telephone lines.  The DSL signal happens above the human hearing range (like where dogs can hear but we cant) and you put a filter on your telephone line to separate the DSL from your regular conversations so you can talk all you want while surfing the Internet at the same time.  \n\nI hope that answers your questions\nJx3


Why not leave things alone? Why are they panicking? Now that the President needs them they run. Why? We need to stick together!!

FEMA needs to be returned to being an Agency directly under the President. Away from Dept. Homeland Security. (At least the portion of FEMA that does disaster response and recovery.) Adding another entity between FEMA's ability to respond and the president has only created more red-tape. \n\nDHS is mostly concerned w/ terrorism (which is important) - but their focus has forced FEMA to not be able to focus on their mission of helping disaster victims.

new york is my subject but I don`t know what to write \nI tgought maybe the dark side of new your but I don`t have any litterature \nany help on picking the subject or finding litterature on it is welcome

how about concentrating on stories of the 'little people'.  ordinary, everyday folk who aren't famous or infamous, just folk doing what they know to do.  like a teacher, a baker, a grandmother, a street sweeper?   try to find beauty in the ordinaryness of life and tie it in with a faint reference to new york.  write your paper so that it is up to the reader to decide the 'value' of the life or dynamics of the person / place interface.  i think too many people are obsessed with ideas about ' dark', 'funniest', 'best', 'worst', . . . it is boring and meaningless.


I'm a finance major @ Wayne State University finishing this December.  I live near Detroit.  I want to know what experience is needed and if I can have some commercial loan officers tell me the pros n cons of the trade.  I also want to know how much do they and their peers earn.

I'm a residential LO.  Commercial is a lot like it.  You have to have good personal skills.  You must be friendly and able to get along with people.  On top of that, you must also have great sales skills.  Everyone in the business offers the same products from almost the same pool of money.  You're selling yourself more than the product.\n\nAs far as income from the job, everyone will tell you the same.  You can make anywhere from $0-$200,000+.  It just depends on how well you are at learning and how "get-go" you are.\n\nI also suggest getting with a large company.  Training is much more important than a good pay split early on.


this is kinda wierd i guess....\nmy mom says she aint had sex wit him yet so i donno wheather or not to believe her or not........ i really dont care if she did or not!!  i like james and ronnie so whitch one do i go after first?

Its really her business who she had sex with, and you dont care anyway, so dont discuss it with her if she is uncomfortable with it.  Go after both at the same time, and see which one acts better and makes you feel good-dont try to go after one and try to keep the other one on a leash.


I have to explain how prioritizing effects leadership in drill teams

well, I too am a JROTC cadet and when you prioritize things which means you put things in order of coarse. When your Drill team sees that the one put in charge is in control they are willing to work harder to acheive much more. "when they see your in control, they know their in control." leaders lead from example.

Are some people free from depression or can it be hidden. Is depression a form of mental illness?

Depression can be something short term caused by circumstances.  There is also Clinical Depression that is a chemical imbalance in the brain which can be considered a form of Mental Illness.  Clinical Depression is hereditary.\n\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/health/brain/depression/de.about.htm?s_kwcid=ContentNetwork|408524353\n\nHope this helps, God Bless!


My specs:AMD 64 bit athlon; asus k8s-mx motherboard; seagate 80 gb sata hdd; 256 mb ram;\ni have tried to install red hat linux ES 4 but it didn't detect my hdd.\nIf its possible please do mention a linux distro that suits me.

I think linux might detect SATA as a SCSI drive. On some motherboards, Windows does not recognize SATA either and needs the floppy disk with drivers. \nI think I had luck with Fedora Core 4 and SATA drives. Also try Xandros.


do those ppl who listen to heavy metal/rock songs really love the music? or is it just the way the rockers/metals dress up?

Everyone has their taste in music, but that question is sort-of slanted.  It would be like asking if everyone who listens to rap listens to it only for the gold chains and handguns, of people who listen to country do so because they like big hats and belts.  Not everyone who listens to a given genre is going to dress themselves like the musicians they listen to.  I know I don't.


you were left alone, only land seen and only vegatation is seen to exist on the island except for birds.what two articles would you desperatly need to have with you,now think also you can build things from the vegatation on the island. this question is usually a real kicker for the ladies

My son just turned one three weeks ago.  His father has never seen, spoke, or tried to contact him, ever.  I filed for a perternity test when he was a newborn and he's stll not been served for court.  That means, if he doesn't show up, it will just keep getting continued.  He also has been arrested 4 times in the same county for failure to appear to a probation hearing, among many other charges.  Somehow he always gets bailed out on a rediculously low amount of money.  He shouldn't even have a bail.  I just want the paperwork saying he is my son's father.  I don't want any money or him to see my son because he is an addict.

You need to first file for custody...Once you have custody file for child support. Child support enforcement will ask for father's name. Supply it and they will search for him and usually find him if he uses his social security # for work or perhaps anything else. When the state pays you money they get all fired up to get it back and try hard to find the father. If he doesn't pay child support, support enforcement will put the offender in jail in most states. then he is required to show up as he is in jail and has no choice whether he should show up or not. The reason you get custody first is so that he has to get a lawyer to counter file later. If he has documented drug or law trouble, the childs support caseworker will usually recommend no visitation or supervised visitation.


I had the stomahce flu three weeks ago and I was haunging out withe my friend last night he said his stomahce  started to hurt and it kind of felt he was going be sick. Then I called him today and he said he has the stomache flu. Can I get it again because I was with him last night?

It's possible, especially if he sneezed or coughed around you. Just because you recently had an illness doesn't mean that you can't get it again, even soon afterward. This is partly because there are many strains of viruses out there. Your body might have fought something very similar to what your friend got, but that doesn't mean you'll be immune.


I have a boyfriend and 2 kids...an 8 yr old daughter and a 3 month old son..I'm 33, cute and looking for some girls in the area to hang with....and even have a girl's nite out...I miss that

Im in the same situation, except I don't have a bf, never been married, and do not have kids!  If you are in Jax, good luck!  I have been here 2.5 yrs and can't wait to get out!


ok so my guy well has a sort of problem.... well he comes early! like 3-5 min. it that normal ? and what do i do to help him??? he says he is trying to think of other things when it is happening but that wont work and we have tried that pinched the head thing it just makes him go limp. what do i do??? help guys!

i myself use to have this problem with my girlfriend but i figured out what to do...tell him to masturbate at least 3-4 times a week using the stop and go technique...he masturbates till he almost cums then have him put his hands behind his back till he almost goes limp then start again do that for bout 5-6 times and also his orgasm will be very powerful to him when he does let himself cum thats always a plus :).....and also bout a hour before you guys have sex have him masturbate using that technique but only a few times like 2-3 then have him cum then make sure you guys have alot of foreplay so he can get hard again and get exited and just have slow sex and he would be able to last for a long time!!!.....also if you want to make your guy to really enjoy having sex with you and it would also be a plus for you while having sex have him do the technique but be careful after about the 2nd time he stops then starts again while having sex with you he will cum very fast and very powerful because he will be so excited\n\nguareenteed he will last for at least a hour or 2 if you have him do everything i told you


i was dating this girl for about 2 years and we broke up because she said she needed time to grow up (shes 18 im 19) this was about 6 months ago. we have talked a little and went out to eat to catch up a few months back... she is all i think about and i really dont know what to do i cant seem to get her off my mind my friend told me to put her away in my mind but i cant... we loved eachother and she needs time.... i really dont know what to do should i just go on or should i try to get her back?

Don't sit around waiting for her go live your life. If she comes back well then it was meant to be but for now LIVE....\nCan almost bet she is...


ten points for the first right answer, it's a famous quote

cogito ergo sum means "I am thinking, therefore I exist." By Descartes, who doubted everything but his own existence, since he knew that he could think.


My cousin is taking laxative so she does not  get fat.\n1- does it work?\n2- consequences on health?\n3- a doctor told her it is cancerogen. true?

It will work, if she cuts down on over-eating and gets off her fat ass, to do some basic exercise, like long walks. It has no serious effect on one's health, except that she should be ready to pop in the loo evry now and then.


You know how when you first meet someone, after that you start bumpin into them alot after words. Well i never see this girl i like around school. The only time i see her is in the class room and the class that she is in with me ended today. What do i do since i missed my chance to ask her out.

I can highlight the original email typing but cannot type anything in the block and can't delete anything either.

You will need to be much more specific about what is going on for us to be able to answer the question.  What email program are you using.  What computer operating system are you using?\n\nMy tought off the cuff without knowing anything is that is likely has to do with your email client.  My recommendation is to change the formatting of your reply email to "text format". It is likely set to "html format".\n\nIf you let me know what client you are using (outlook, hotmail, yahoo, outlook express, etc), I can follow up this response with client specific instructions.

I once heard a song of this Asian singer called "Chinky Eyes", the meaning was like about this guy who had "Chinky eyes" and the explaining was that "Chinky" means a person with only one eyelid like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people. I looked up the word "Chinky" in the dictionary but there wasnt any definition for it. So could "Chinky" be a slang word? Or is it really mean "one eyelid". What is the real definition for "Chinky"?

Chink and its derivations are derogatory terms in the U.S. for sure. I believe it was coined during WWI after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, though it may have arisen later. It was probably a shortened version of the word Chinese, but now generally describes the stereotypical small slanted eyes associated with anyone of Asian decent.


She usually says she needs money 4 something and I always say I got her,she said she asked her mom to 4 10 dollars to get an i.d and she said ask me and she said no she is not gonna keep askin me 4 money like I'm her boyfriend and cuz she dont wanna feel like she using me,i said u know i always got u,I said I treat u like a boyfriend plus better,she said like a bestfriend and I was like I'm like ya 3rd best friend she was like naw u the first boy bestfriend.

yes she probably is but she might still be ur best friend even if u werent bailling her out all the time try it and find out u might be surprised


please tell me the distinction between the spokepersons above-mentioned.what do they stand for respectively??

The White House spokesman directly relays any & all information the President wishes to give out.\n\nThe State Department spokesman releases information & press statements concerning the State Department only.


if someone is going through a really hurtful time and would normally express the hurt and pain they were feeling, would taking the tablets stop them being able to feel or express those emoptions? Can they render a person quite literally apathetic about everything?

Yes. Absolutely.\nAll "anti depressants" suppress negative emotions.\nThey do not get rid of them or help in anyway to discharge them.\nThis is why it is so difficult to come off them. When you "stop " taking them the "suppress" comes off , and all the negative emotions turn right back on again as tho' the painful experiences had just happened.\nThey also suppress positive emotion in the same way, hence the general apathy.\nThese drugs are not a solution to upset or depression, however once on them, you must not "suddenly" stop taking them, for the withdrawal period can be disasterous.\n\nSuggest if the person wants to come off this medication, they find a suitable medical Dr who is willing to very gradually withdraw the person by gradiently reducing the dose, and monitoring the individual.\n\nAlso recommend nutritional supplements to assist in this withdrawal.


...and where did you learn it?\nI was asked this at an international teachers conference, and discovered that NONE of the 110 teachers said .." at School" \nNow I have a chance to influence what is taught in schools...what SHOULD be top priority?!!

It sounds a bit of a cop out but I would have to say the most important thing I have learnt is how to learn.  That and making mistakes is OK and part of life.  No I didn't learn this at school which is why I have gone into teaching to try and bridge the gap


My pharmacy (which I no longer use) is about to transfer my case to a credit agency.  The amount is not much but I refuse to pay on principle, it was not my mistake.  I have spoken to 3 agents including one manager.  I feel as if I'm backed against a wall.  What recourse do I have?

Have you disputed the account with them in writing, by certified letter?  They have to legally provide with proof of the charges within 30 days & tell them if they do not comply with the Federal Equal Opportunity Act & the Consumer Protection Act then you will file a complaints against them with the (name of your) Attorney General's Office & The Federal Trade Commission.  If they no reply to you within 30 days, you need to send them another letter stating as they did not comply with federal law providing you the requested information pertaining to charges they claim you owe, they cannot further collect as they did not provide with proof.  I would CC this to the Attorney geenral in case they try to come back later again.


please tell me i would like to know about it

I'm looking for a career change...I would love to work in a day care but I am not looking to go back to school for another 4 years. What kind of certificates would be useful to get?

No need of certificate, unless you want to open a day-care in your house.\nYou don't need to go through another 4 year misery for permits. You just need 6 units of early childhood education (from most community colleges) to have a assistant teacher's permit. It's really easy.

Im kinda a shy guy and I have a hard time understanding the way girls say things and what they mean, can anyone shed any light on this for me and give me some helpful hints to know and relaize when a girl is flirting with me?? Thanks

When dealing with girls, it's best to focus on the emotions and "vibe" behind their actions and words, and not so much on the words themselves.\n\nSo if a girl says something to you, or does something, and she does it in a way that seems playful, or if she has a playful vibe about her when she's interacting with you, she's flirting.\n\nAlthough, just because she's flirting with you, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.\n\nYou have to look at the "vibe" behind it all.


Ex. i need it to be like 5 feet 7 inches with both feet and inches because when i divide the number by 12 im not sure how to do that. So i need my answer to be # feet # inches

Well, now dummy, let's think this one through.  First, let's divide the sucker by 12 and see what we get.\n\n495.923 / 12 = 41.3296 feet\n\nSo, we see it is 41 feet plus a tad more, almost a third of a foot as a matter of fact.\n\nNow how many inches is .3296 foot?\n\nWell, 1 inch divided by 12 = 0.0833, so each inch is .0833 of a foot.\n\nSo, .3296 / .0833 = 3.95 inches\n\nNow we have it narrowed down to 41 feet, 3.95 inches.\n\nYou should realize that 95/100 of an inch would be 19/20.\n\nSo if you want all fractions it is 41 feet 3 and 19/20 inches.\nThis is the same as 41 feet 3.95 inches\n\nThere is probably an easier way to figure this out but I just go through things logically.  You could figure this out too if you didn't spend so much time playing stupid video games.


I need to know what all it takes to get her a Visa to come back to the United States.

Depends on what your future plans entail. A visitors visa is going to be difficult because she is going to have to prove strong social and financial ties back to the country. If she is young...this is going to be hard to prove.  \n\nIf you plan on marrying her, then you are going to have to wait awhile to prove that this is a legit relationship and not file the I-129f premature. Although your application may make it through your CIS service center and the National Visa Center, I suspect that a consular officer will reject the petition based on the time you have known her.  Keep a good paper trail of all your contact (phone bills, emails, letters, airline tickets to Bulgaria, hotels in Bulgaria etc) with her.
