You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.\n\nEvery day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.\n\nExplain how the tractor got there?

It was driven across the lake while the water was frozen.


I have never learned any crafts and hence unable to spend my time.I am also desperate to find some work but am unable to do that b'coz there is no cretche in my area.I own a teaching degree and am a commerce graduate and have basic knowledge of microsoft office.I want to earn money as well as take care of my child.Since I am unable to find any ways I am really in a lot of depression so much that I do not take care of my child, home and even me.I have also put on a lot of weight lately.and have also developed backache.Can you please help me?My husband is supportive but unable to help me.

Your husband can pay the bills. You can work on your illness and seek a professional there. You need to meet others who are mentally ill in therapy groups to understand better what skills you need for life. Depression is created in our own mind when you use expectations that are hollow. Your brain will return real pain to you until you change your expectations for love and life.

I got a boy friend living in another country. Last time, he said that wanna marriage and come to visit me soon. Of course, I replied that it is great for us both. But since then, he was silent!!! \nWhat happens to him? What should I think?

I think he's changed his mind and gotten cold feet. Ask him about it and if he's still not civing you a clear answer, then maybe you should re-examine at your feelings for him. Good luck.


Chic i think is interested in me (im interested in her) is always grabbing my upper arm and squeezing it a few times, or giving me a little punch or slap if i do a mean flirty joke to her.\n\nShe has a boyfriend that she doesnt see hardly at all\n\nAm i looking into this body contact too much?? no other girls i talk to or even half joke flirt with do this \n\nPlus i swear ive seen her staring at me from time to time. Or at least glancing at me.\n\nAlso is this friendly flirting or i like you flirting

I bet you and I know that no one can give a definite answer to your question since not all girls think alike. It all comes down to what kind of person she is, how long have you known her, etc.\n\nYou need to know her well to determine whether she does have feelings for you or was her advances towards you merely shows that she's being friendly or otherwise. Is she a social kind of person? Does she have a lot of admires? Is she the shy type of girl? Have she ever done this towards her other male friends? All these you need to take into evaluation.\n\nHow often does she sees her boyfriend? Is there any rift going on between them? Does she seem to have any problem with him? Would her advances towards you mean she's regarding you as her platonic boyfriend? You need to know her well in order to understand this body contact you've experienced with her.\n\nI admit that I've done those kind of advances towards my male friends before but only to those whom I regard as close friends and those whom I acknowledge like a brother to me however, I take care not to give them any wrong impression. On the other hand, there were those who regarded my advances as interest. For your information, I've done that to my boyfriend as well.\n\nAs I have said earlier, it is hard to tell whether her advances signifies her interest in you. Try evaluating the questions I gave you. They might clear up your dilemma.\n\nHope you'll find your answer soon.

im open around some guys but around really HOT guys like the one i like i cant seem to get a conversation going can any one tell me what to do?????

Sometimes I have trouble like you...what I do is I go up to the guy I say Hello to them.Then ask what have you been up to.Ask a couple of questions to get to know him.Then start a conversation with him...but nothin really dumb.Sorry to say.


if it has a thumb knot. start at thumb. wrap around hand first time around. go down to wrist, back up to thumb, wrap around thunb, around hand, back to wrist, start lacing around fingers. then wrap around hand, back to wrist. to hand. it should end around the wrist. (just don't do it too tight. your hand will turn red, and feel numb)

I mean, ive always wanted them to be together, but in every episode it seems like something happens, and either lorelais avoiding luke, or lukes avoiding lorelai. Do you think they WILL actually ever get married?

depends- maybe its meant to be like that so the watcher/viewer  always thinks about it? i always wonder the same thing


Tonight I am going to ask this guy to prom however I do not know how he will react because it is only 4 days before but I thought that I couldn't get a ticket because they stopped selling them a month before howevever a friend of mine just told me that her sisters friend has an extra ticket. How will he react how would you react? what should I be prepared to hear? etc.

make it so that it is a very casual thing when you are asking him.  You are writing as if you are nervous.  Tell him you just got an extra ticket and you need a date and you picked him.  He might just surprise you.


mine is Saved by the Bell...its so old and funny!\naaanywho...tell me for a survey\nthanks guys!

I like The O.C, Lost, Allias, Prizon Break, American Idol.. lol.. there is too many to count.


1> How port scan be done ?\n2> What are the data that could be collected by port surfing >

To know what services are running on the OS, like Web Servers, and try to find a way to enter. You can collect information about the service, what program is running, the OS (Win, Lin, ..) but thinking more. and other data....\n\nYou can scan with NMAP, one of the best program for that, it is free and its available for multiples platforms.\n\nYou can solve the problem installing a good firewall, making a good configuration of the OS and applications.


Can anyone give me the correct OSD settings as my screen is completely hay-wire.

u should b able to reset to defaults look for it in the monitor controls


I have a myspace profile and I have only recently discovered that people can right click and save my profile pics!! this bothers me, the thought that people may be saving me on their computer - come on, thats weird right? - so is there a way I can stop it?

there is no way other then changing your age to 14


MY B/F AND I HAVEN'T BEEN TALKIN AND I DONT KNOW WHY ITS STUFF AND REALLY NOW HE SAYS THAT SOMETHING IS DYING BETWEEN US. I REALLY LOVE HIM AND HE SAYS THE SAME THING, BUT I DONT KNOW WHATS GOIN ON. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

i think u should talk and resolve the problem...and if it still doesn't work...then its probably time to move on...


up to 600 BILLION $ a year from tax payer's money to american defense budget, and over 16,000 children dying yearly from hunger, this doesn't include adults, or children dying from other causes like disease, this means a child dies every 5 seconds, means the time it took u to read this 6 children has died cause there's nothing to eat\n\ndon't u think developed countries should invest even half the money they spend on military, on food or project development in poor countries\n\nsome nerve when bush says how rightous he is by freeing poor countries!

Yes, the developed countries of the world have the resources to wipe out starvation all over the globe. Will it ever happen? I truly doubt it. You see, children have no money, they don't control any oil fields and  they can't keep the big corporations and weapons manufacturers in business. Children also have no political clout, they can't make things happen, they don't vote. In other words they aren't very useful to the politicians. Thats why they starve to death.


This is a complete urban myth, check snopes.com

Yes, it's a myth, but these days a lie can whiz around the world at Internet speed many, many times while the truth is still putting on its running shoes.  Besides, the creationists will say anything.  \n\nIf I were one of Charles Darwin's descendants (there must be a few around), I'd sue for defamation of character.  It probably wouldn't get very far in the courts but at least it would get a few headlines, so there would be at least a chance to tell the real story.

In addition, we describe the precise relation between SVD analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) when PCA is calculated using the covariance matrix, enabling our descriptions to apply equally well to either method.

Introduction\nOne of the challenges of bioinformatics is to develop effective ways to analyze global gene expression data. A rigorous approach to gene expression analysis must involve an up-front characterization of the structure of the data. In addition to a broader utility in analysis methods, singular value decomposition (SVD) and principal component analysis (PCA) can be valuable tools in obtaining such a characterization. SVD and PCA are common techniques for analysis of multivariate data, and gene expression data are well suited to analysis using SVD/PCA. A single microarray  For simplicity, we use the term microarray to refer to all varieties of global gene expression technologies.\n\n\nClose experiment can generate measurements for thousands, or even tens of thousands of genes. Present experiments typically consist of less than ten assays, but can consist of hundreds (Hughes et al., 2000). Gene expression data are currently rather noisy, and SVD can detect and extract small signals from noisy data. \nThe goal of this chapter is to provide precise explanations of the use of SVD and PCA for gene expression analysis, illustrating methods using simple examples. We describe SVD methods for visualization of gene expression data, representation of the data using a smaller number of variables, and detection of patterns in noisy gene expression data. In addition, we describe the mathematical relation between SVD analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) when PCA is calculated using the covariance matrix, enabling our descriptions to apply equally well to either method. Our aims are 1) to provide descriptions and examples of the application of SVD methods and interpretation of their results; 2) to establish a foundation for understanding previous applications of SVD to gene expression analysis; and 3) to provide interpretations and references to related work that may inspire new advances.\n\nIn section 1, the SVD is defined, with associations to other methods described. A summary of previous applications is presented in order to suggest directions for SVD analysis of gene expression data. In section 2 we discuss applications of SVD to gene expression analysis, including specific methods for SVD-based visualization of gene expression data, and use of SVD in detection of weak expression patterns. Some examples are given of previous applica


i am wanting to take a sexy portrait for me and my hubbys anniversary.either lingeire or costumes no nude dont wanna scare the photographer.........ty

I am a professional photographer and have done this type of work in the past. I no longer do this type of work but there are reputable professionals who will do a great job. Still I would not want my wife to use one of them. Too many sick people out there and it could end up on the web or somewhere else.\n\nLet me make a suggestion, do it yourself. It will be fun for both of you, you can save money and it’s not that hard. You will be amazed; you can make a beautiful professional looking image that will probably be even better than you would get at a studio. This is because you will be more comfortable and relaxed and you will spend more time than a studio photographer would. Here’s how, please spend the time to read and consider it.\n\nHere is what you do, order Victoria’s Secret’s magazine. Sounds funny but they have some of the best boudoir style photographers around. Choose something you and your husband will like and order it, several different outfits if you can afford it. While your husband is at work get a large mirror, try on your new items, get your copy of your Victoria’s Secret’s magazine, look at how the girls are posed and try them out, use your bed, couches, chairs and just experiment. Try different poses until you find out what you think looks best. Look closely at your Victoria’s Secret magazine and the way they pose the curves of the body, hands, fingers, legs, feet and the way they use their eyes and tilt their head. Remember, curves are nice. Now experiment with makeup, often less is best. Give special attention to the eyes, a little extra eye liner and mascara. You will need a good digital camera (own, buy or borrow), any good one will work but one with an off camera flash is best. Make sure you have plenty of batteries. If you want a really large print like 16”x20” you will need a 6 – 8 mega-pixel camera. Now you are ready. Make sure the two of you will be alone, have a nice meal, and explain to him that you have something special for him. Now you will have to tell him what you planned so he doesn’t get the right idea at the wrong time (that’s for later). Now go get dressed and made up. The trick to getting that one really great shot is taking lots and lots of pictures in lots and lots of poses in many locations. On ever pose do a close-up, a ¾ and a full length from several different angles. Try tilting the camera a little on some of the shots and do both horizontal and vertical shots. If you spend less than an hour you quit to soon. Next, hook the camera to a computer, download and make sure you got what you want. For 8”x10” prints or smaller you can use a regular photo printer, for larger prints you may need to use a profession lab. If you must use a lab, find one you trust. For most bedrooms, (where these type pictures are most often displayed) a 8”x10” matted in a 11”x14” frame will probably work great.


What to do? Ok this is probably the dumbest least serious question I have asked. But I feel so drained today

Is it wet and cold where you are too?  I have the Monday blah's!  This type of weather inspires me to lay around and do nothing but waste time on Yahoo Answers.

Once when I was a child, I had chickepox. Now one of my roommates got chickenpox 20 days back, and he went to hometown on the same day. Today, my another rommate got chickenpox and he is leaving for his home. \n\nMy doubt is, is there any chance that I may affected again ? What is the percentage of chance is there ?

It depends on a few things: how old you were when you had it, how severe your case was, and how healthy you are now.  If you were very young (like, 2 years or younger) it is possible that your body didn't make sufficient antibodies for your adult life.  If you didn't have a very serious case, the same may be true.  If you have a compromised immune system for any reason, you could also be vulnerable.\n\nHowever, if you are healthy, had a pretty solid case previously, and were at least old enough to remember being sick, you're probably okay.  Still, I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to be around your roomates' things.  Wash your hands, get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids - play it safe.


I am over 50, walk at least a half hour a day and try to eat low fat foods.

How about eliminating or reducing white breads and simple carbs, but keeping in whole grain breads?  All carbs are not created equal and you need good carbs for energy.  Getting at least three servings of whole grains a day is also good for maintaining a healthy cholesterol level.


this is in refernce to my previous ? re: whether it is okay for me to be homeless and yet happy.

I don't think that it occurs to a lot of people that there is free internet access at libraries.\n\nEspecially now-a-days when so many people have computers in their own homes.... most people spend so much time at their house watching television and surfing the net, they don't make it to their local library.\n\nI'm glad you've found a means to access such a great resource.  I hope you make the most of it.


I've used fink before, but I wanted different versions of the ports. Is Darwinports better, why?

Fink is more up to date. It looks like there has been no new news or updates on Darwinports since 2005.  I checked a couple of there links and noticed they were either out of date or gave wrong information too, for instance: Adium is at version .89.1 and has an OSX native installer.


I have my own opinion about it, but I was wondering about other people's thoughts. Not trying to be controversial here!!!!

In my opinion, no. How would that effect the child is the first concern. When the child is small wouldn't be the issue, but as he/she entered school it would most defiantly get ridiculed by the other kids and have emotional stress/problems from this. This would really confuse the kid! I don't care what anyone says, a child needs a MOTHER and a FATHER. Not two women, and not two men.


When you tie off a skin tag, how long does it stay swollen and painful for before it dries up and falls off? I tied it off two days ago, and at the minute it's very swollen and tender. How long should I expect it to take to dry up and fall off? It's fairly large, about 0.5cm in diameter.

If you are experiencing pain and swelling,you need to see your doctor.\n\nSkin tags can easily be removed in a matter of seconds at the doctor's office.\n\nAttempting to do this yourself can cause infection and chances are that if you already have swelling and pain,you could already have an infection going on.\n\nI can't believe that people have never heard of a skin tag!    Maybe they should Google it!


this is when a missed shot, is recoverd by the opponent. if it hits teh back board or the rim you have to take it back right? or is it just the rim.

Yes and No it dependes on how you are playing. What you are talking about is called "clearing the ball" you don't have to play clears if you don't to.

Please tell me How can i change myself


we do 4-5 hours of school work (when were @ school) and then we haveto go home and spend another 2 hrs on home work..... i think its stupid! we never get any time for our selvs..... its crap! i mean the een give us (sometimes) work on the week end..... grrrrrrrr it makes me sooo angry....

Because you don't spend the whole 4 to 5 hours learning and homework will reinforce the skills you learned in school so that you master them. If you think you don't have a life now, wait until you have to work at least 8 hours a day to pay the bills, then come home and clean, cook, and do other chores. Get over it. Kids in the US have it very easy compared to students in other countries who go to school for 8 or 9 hours and 6 days a week.


ur own poop for a week if i paid u one million dollars cash

do you get fries with that?-----hell yes.


On the same vein, why aren't Yahoo properties W3C compliant?\nThis could be a security question too?\nI prefer Opera Internet Browser.\nIsn't unlikely that Yahoo staff is using IE in-house?

It comes down to cost. Keep in mind this is always the corporate answer and to a certain extent, they aren't really lying, but with a majority of the eyeballs using some variant of IE, this is what they will choose to focus their resources. True, it would not cost a lot more to take advantage of say the Opera users and others. Within Firefox it looks good.

What do you think needs to happen in order for this to change? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY- PLEASE!

After reading some of these answers, I think the answer is clear.  Because too many WOMEN think there should not be a woman president.\n\nHonestly, I'm shocked, I believe in equality of the sexes, that women and men can do things equally and can hold the same job or achieve the same results.  I'd vote for a woman president based on 1 thing, whether I feel she can do the job or not, not based on whether the candidate has a penis or breasts.\n\nI think this just goes to show you that people have lost the ability to think freely nowadays.  A woman president is not going to start war every month, she is not going to be any more emotional than a man when it comes down to business, and actually, women tend to be able to sell and be more diplomatic which could lend a hand to foreign relations.  The ountry is not too young for it either.  People need to see that you can either make excuses or get something done and saying things like the examples above is making excuses.  Of course it won't happen while everyone believes it won't, and of course it would happen if people could even open up to the possibility.


Why do i let people get to me and cuz i do i starred to self harm wat should i do???

You let people get to you because you have very little self-esteem, in other words, you have no faith in your OWN ideas and abilities. You have NO confidence in YOURSELF.\n\nTRY believeing in yourself and be CONFIDENT that you ARE right at least  about SOME things, so you CAN ignore comments from people that are nasty or provoking.


I know what the schrodinger wave equation is and all that, I just wondered if anyone can highlight the main points of pertubation theory to me?

Well, when you solve the schrodinger equation for a complex system, its helpful to make a simplification so that you can work out the Hamiltonian. You won't get an exact answer (that's impossible) but you can get close using Perturbation theory. Basically, you add perturbation terms onto a Hamiltonian you're already familiar with (say something behaves like a harmonic oscillator, but is more complex). Start with the Hamiltonian you already know (call this H(0)) and add on a term (in the case of a harmonic oscillator, it could be something like H(0) = 1/2x^2 and the term to add on could be, arbitrarily, 1/4x^3). The term that you add on is called the perturbation, H(1). You can now determine the energy associated both with the Hamiltonian that you know how to solve exactly and the perturbation Hamiltonian. This will give you the first-order energy correction to a problem. Repeat with n number of perturbations to determine the nth order energy. The more perturbations used, the closer your energy becomes to the "real" answer.

how can one start a diet and still be motivated... what helped you?

Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.\n\nFood-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.\n\nHigh-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.\n\nHigh-fiber, low-calorie diets: As I've noted in many previous blog entries, fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.\n\nLiquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long‑term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.\n\nFasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.\n \nNo fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start: \nEat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients. \n\nGet some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.\n\nInclude sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.\n\nChoose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no mo


me and my husband are divorcing and we were living togerther in mo now my family has moved to A.Z where I will be living Will they ship my stuff back to mo or can they ship it to AZ???? help

The military will only ship to your Home of Record.  I, honestly, don't know if that applies to family members in cases such as yours.  Your best bet is to contact the transportation office.


Last night, my little brother came running down the hallway and hit me in the mouth. Now part of my lip is swollen. I put ice on it last night for about and hour and it helped a little--but when will it go down? This weekend is going to be busy and I don't want my lip like this! When will it go down? Is there anything I can do to make it go down faster? Thanks!!

Ice is good.  Also take some asprin or advil.  that will help swelling go down.  It really depends on how hard a hit and how big it is swollen.  but it should start to go down in a day or two, and after that may feel worse than it looks\n\nUse the asprin or advil rather than tylenol.  Tylenol is a anti fever and anti pain drug, but is does nothing to actually reduce swelling.  It will make you not FEEL the lip, but the asprin or advil will actually reduce swelling as well as pain.


what command are you using? And what is the OS?\nIts hard to answer this question without those details!


In Game 5, he smiled at Raja walking slowly and what happens is he was called for 8 second violation. I looked on the replay, and there it is, a big smile. What did he do unexpectedly?

he didnt do anything. he was enjoying the moment, the thrill of the game. you cant always be serious even if its a close game. some players even love it when the game is that close, ergo the smile on cassell's face.\n\nrobert horry also comes to mind. thats why he loves taking the game winning 3s. same goes with sam. you just have to put in mind that its just a game, so you should try to have fun and enjoy it. (at least for sam anyway, he already has 2 rings)


I am a real quite type but when iam around friends i am fun and wild .

Just try it on.  Gotta make sure you're comfortable carrying it.  I could never carry a clutch, for example.


Our own galaxy is so big that it would take you 100.000 years to travel from one side to the other, that is travelling at the speed of light.There are 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone. There are 100 billion other galaxys in the universe...surely there must be some kind of "life" out there.

Being an avid science fiction fan and part-time speculative thinker (or something), I would like to believe that there IS life out there.  The universe is so vast, surely the possibility exists.\n\nOnly don't you think we would have had some contact by now? Oh, yeah, maybe we have...nobody really believes that weather balloon story, do they?  Maybe that's the secret...


I dreamed I was at the beach with my youngest child and a camel came out of nowhere (like a shark) and started swimming after him.

hhhmmmm....wait (finger on chin and scratching)...hmmm....\n\nyou know what, i don't think i have an answer that could possibly sound intelligent on this matter?! lol\n\ncould it be that you fear for you child's safety and the camel was something far more sinister and menacing??


I find that i have a set number of steps or phases in most all of my relationships (intimate relationships) first there is talking, that feeling out part where you see if you want to invest anytime in the other person. and if that goes well you move on to dating, still not serious at all, still just getting to know on another. and if you can survive that we move on to being pinned, where you start to refer to eachother as boyfriend girlfreind. this tends to get rather serious which it should, because next comes engagement and we all know what follows. my question is do all of you follow a similar pattern when dating. have you ever skipped stages in a relationship. do you have more or less stages than i. what is your input at different stages. thanx.

I think every relationship is going to be different.  I've connected with guys right away to where we've skipped the whole "dating" thing and moved on to the "pinned" stage. \n\nI've also been with guys through all the stages .. plus a divorce .. so I think you're pretty down with the steps of love.  There might not be a right way or a wrong way but with the media and family influence I think it's in our minds there's certain things we need to achieve before getting married.  It makes sense !  \n\nI have to watch myself when I start my relationships .. I tend to over plan them and then I find out they were losers to begin with .. haha J/K ..\n\nLove is Crazy ... People have so many different ways of showing it.  You just have to find that one person that loves you for you !

Besides your "teaching" and "preaching" about the matter, how do you treat them?  Are they "good church individuals?" How do you account for them "becoming gay/lesbian?"

I don't know, no one has come forward and announced he or she was gay. They would be welcomed in our church, but the church would hope the individual would change their lifestyle, since it is against the bible.


I was taking Effexor for about 2-3 months, and then just stopped taken them suddenly...I know that the doctors don't recommend this, but I just kept on forgetting to take my pill, and didn't feel that it was necessary. Anyways, it's been just less than 1 months now, and out of the blue, at age 22, I was dignosed with Herpes Zoster (Shingles), which is commonly caused from stress.....do you think that i got shigles because of stopping the effexor?????

Zoster infection is actually not uncommon at any age.  It shows itself as "shingles" when it is triggered by any stress to the body, thought to activate the virus by temporarily weakening the immune system.  This is because shingles is actually an aggrevation of a pre-existing, dormant viral infection by stress.\nCommon stressors include any viral/bacterial infection (like a common cold), physical/emotional stress, sleep deprivation, the list goes on and on...\nSummary - Its possible that stopping your effexor suddenly (which is a BAD move btw - you should always wean off gradually) put a stress on your body that simply acted as the trigger to activate your pre-exisisting Herpes Zoster infection into a full-blown bout of shingles.  However your trigger may have been completely unrelated to the effexor...\n\nI'm assuming you saw your doctor allready?\n\nDoes this help?

Nobody was bothered by the immigration of Mexicans two decades ago?  I am thirty nine of Mexican American decedent.

Businesses want to maximize revenue and minimize costs. To do this many hire immigrant labor because they know they can pay them next to nothing compared to what they would have to pay a better educated American worker. Consequently they lobby to allow for lax immigration enforcement. This is especially true of businesses in construction, manufacturing and agricultural sectors.  This is, in large part, why immigration reform and enforcement haven't been big issues in the past. There was money under the table for politicians to focus on other things.\n\nPersonally I think part of the reason it's getting so much press now is Republicans got tired of the media focusing on the expensive situation in Iraq, corruption, rising fuel costs, etc.  Immigration is an issue they can use to rally their base around which will lessen the levels of disillusionment seen within the rank and file members of the GOP. \n\nRegards,\nArmus


There is a 2nd hard drive installed already with some data.   I would like to partition it and install the contents of the C: drive.   How can I do this?

what you are looking to do is called drive imaging. it will allow you to make an exact, bootable image of your old hard drive and put it on your new hard drive while leaving you all the extra space. Maxtor and seagate come with software that lets you do this. I'm not sure about the other manufacturers. an alternative is to use backup software that allows you to do this reguarly. Acronis true image or norton ghost will help put you on the path of regular back ups. My recommendation is to buy a maxtor hard drive at staples and get the extra warranty. make sure you know what kind of hard  drive your computer will take first. open the case and look at the cables going into your current hard drive . If you see a four wire cable (Red, Black, Black, yellow) and a ribbon cable with 40-80 wires in it you have Parallel ATA hard drive (PATA) if both cables are thin and round with only a few wires in them you've got SATA (serial ATA) make sure you know this before you go to the store


did you guys here he died of a heart attack ,& i believe that if he did die it would be all over the news wouldn`t it? when he died no one heard about `cept the people watching wwe heard about it . if you do believe he is alive ,where do you think he is . & \npro wresteling is not real  is ?

Remember Owen Hart he died during a stunt during a past Wrestlemania.  Yes, wrestling is staged but the stuff that they do is freaking real.  Eddie is gone and you should respect that.


I've tried to get one in the past but generally the only ones I can get are pre-paid credit cards. I've never had a credit card before but my credit is so bad that everytime I try to get one I get turned down. Anyone know of a credit card I could get with no bank account and no credit checks?

If you have bad or poor credits and want to re-establish your credit, these are the special cards for you such as USA Gold Shopping Card, USA Gold Optimum, or Orchard Bank MasterCard. Since you credit history is bad or poor, you will be only given a small credit line. And you might have to pay a higher interest rate than that of regular credit cards. But if you are determined to get your credit back to good standing, apply for one of those credit cards and always make the minimum monthly payment, or even better - pay off the balance every month. Your credit lender will be willing to low the interest rate and increase your credit line gradually. \n\nIf you still can't get approved for these special credit cards for bad credit, try pre-paid credit cards - These Prepaid Card does not extend you credit. Instead, accounts are prepaid for a specific amount and accounts are only good for the balance you have loaded/applied. They work pretty much like a debit card but entitle you to some benefits of a credit card.

Yea...this sounds like a dumb question but honestly i have no idea.

How droplets form:\n\nRain droplets are formed from water vapor in the atmosphere that condenses onto dust particles.  Water vapor is lighter than air, but water is not.  The condensation onto the impurities in dust (nucleation) is more kinetically favorable than a sudden, rapid condensation of all the water in the air (making a splash).  This nucleation phenomena is very similar to observations you can make when you boil water (or let carbonated beverages bubble).  The bubbles will form (nucleate and grow) at tiny cracks and imperfections.  (A very smooth container will have fewer bubbles). Eventually the bubbles get big enough (buoyancy overcomes surface tension) and they rise to the surface.  The main differences between this and rain is that these gas "droplets" fall upward because of buoyancy and they have to overcome an adhesive force to start falling, whereas rain just has to fall fast enough to escape air currents.\n\nThere is another less kinetically favorable mechanism for boiling water that you can sometimes repeat in a microwave, but it is very dangerous.  If you heat water in a microwave, it is possible to get it higher than the boiling point because there hasn't been sufficient time for steam bubbles to form and grow and rise to the surface.  As soon as you touch the surface of the superheated water with say a spoon you could be providing a nucleation site and the water will suddenly boil very dangerously.  If you do this experiment, be very careful.\n\nIf rain WERE observed to fall as a sudden splash rather than as droplets, an analagous condition would be that all of the carbonation in your soda will come out in a sudden blast of carbon dioxide, making a mess and giving you flat pop instantly.  Both processes involve nucleation and growth of droplets (bubbles).\n\nHow droplets fall to the earth:\n\nAll objects heavier than the air will fall to the earth, accelerating until they reach their terminal velocity (the fastest they can go relative to the air speed because of drag).  Really small objects, like rain droplets or insects have very small terminal velocities, so they can get buffeted around without falling much.  Once a rain droplet gets big enough, it can finally fall to the ground at a reasonable speed.  It has a limit on how large it can get because the bigger it gets the faster it falls.  Some basics behind the math follow.\n\nThe terminal velocity is reached when the aerodynamic drag force exactly balances the gravitational force.  The aerodynamic drag force increases with surface area and with velocity (lets consider it to be proportional to the velocity in this example...this is true for sufficiently small objects).  The gravitational force increases with mass (or at constant density) volume.  Volume is roughly proportional to the cube of the relavant length scale of the object.  Surface area is roughly proportional to the square of the length scale of the object.\n\nThus the ratio of the drag force to the gravitional force is c*v*L^2/L^3 = c*v/L, v is the falling velocity, L is typical length scale of the object (like a meter for a person, a foot for a bowling ball, a cm for a big bug), and c is a parameter that lumps together the effects of shape, viscosity, density, and so on.\n\nSo when this ratio c*v/L = 1, the velocity must be the terminal velocity, the fastest the object can fall, v_t.  If you rearrange the equation you see that c*v_t = L.  This means that for a given object with the same physical properties and shape but differing size, the bigger object will fall faster.


After her release how can she get her license back we are in Texas she is NOT on any paper (parole or probation) what are the legal qualifications to get this done?

I don't know the details of her arrest.  Is she a habitual offender?  Did she kill someone?  9 years sounds like an awful long time to spend in jail unless there was serious damage done.\n\nIn any case, you will have to review the terms of getting a license at either your local police / sheriff station, or go to this link and review the sections:\nhttp://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/driver_licensing_control/dlindex.htm\n\nEDIT RESPONSE: It sounds about right.  Escape from custody usually results in long sentences across the country. I know car chases, especially those that end up on the news, usually gets the perpetrator a longer stretch than the crime they had committed in the first place.  \n\nBut contact DMV and get the lowdown on her license.  I don't think she will encounter any difficulty, other than having to provide proof of insurance and possibly a large restitution fee.

i just am starting to like this show and NEED some history!

here some great info\n\n\n\n\n\nMitarashi Anko\nName: Mitarashi Anko, みたらしアンコ\nAge: 241\nRank: Tokubetsu Jōnin1\nSpecialization: Examiner\nHeight: 167 cm1\nWeight: 45,8 kg1\nBirthday: October 24\nBlood Type: A\nRegistration #: 011226\nAffiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)\nSeiyu: Kiko Honda\nVoice actor: Julianne Buescher\nSignature Ability: Sen'eijashu (Hidden Shadow Snake Hand), Sōjasōsai no Jutsu (Twin Snakes Kill Each Other), Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique) (anime only), Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) (Snakes) (anime only)\n\n\nMitarashi Anko is the examiner for the second part of the Chūnin Selection Exam in which Uzumaki Naruto takes part (the part that takes place in the Forest of Death. During the exam, she arrives at a confrontation with Orochimaru and it is revealed that he used to be her sensei. It seems she had also received Orochimaru's cursed seal, but was abandoned as Orochimaru decided that she didn't have the desire for power along with vengeance and hatred, and the Seal disappeared; when Orochimaru battled Anko, he was able to make her cursed seal return, thus incapacitating her with pain as well as ending their fight. Anko knows several forbidden techniques taught to her by Orochimaru, the most notable of which is Sōjasōsai no Jutsu (literally "Twin Snakes Mutual Death"), a suicidal technique she attempted to use to eliminate her former sensei in the forest of death for the good of Konohagakure.\n\nTrivia\n\nMitarashi and anko are ingredients of dango, which coincidentally is Anko's favorite food. This affinity has brought her into conflict with Tsunade. \nAccording to official databook Anko’s Favourite foods are Dumplings, sweet bean soup and dango. Her least favourite foods are spicy foods. Her hobby is tea ceremonies and her favorite phrase is "Arriving!".


There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why?

he is a dwarf and his hands don't reach the button  of the lift to his floor!!!!!!!!


This is a question I do want to know and the best and most specific answer gets 10 points!

the population is too small.  their money is worth half of an american dollar which amounts to the player getting paid less.  they have great fans but the teams can't get arenas to fill up unless the more popular teams come to town.  the arenas are costly to build.  the nhl has six canadian teams.


I mean always on my mind..Its crazy...I crave for it....WHY???

Sex is also a natural process that all of us animals have to undergo... But being a human and being in a cuvulized society we have to think about sex in a different way...\nIt is alright to get crazy about sex... but dont be addictive... cos you will loose your respect for relationships and other kind of human interactions if Sex is the first thing that come to your mind when you see people... SO be careful...


dont have time to excersise. as ido 9 to 5 job...shall only a walk of  1 hour is suitable for me to loose the weight..as i want to loose weight in 2 months..please help

that was my problem too until i found the answer to the same question.  i thrive only on rolled oats.  rolled oats are fibers.  i eat that as rice substitute.  i also eats meat, veggies, fruits and fish.  no fats.  i never eat rice from then on.  i shed 15 lbs for less than 2 months.


I have a sudden loss of apetite when I eat fatty foods which have ghee, oil content in them. I am a vegetarian. Is there anything that can help me

Ghee, or clarified butter, is very hard for your stomach to digest, and slow to pass through your small intestine.\n\nNext, oils like vegetable or corn are so bad for your body. A high unhealthy fat content stresses your body.\n\nSince you are vegetarian, you are used to a lighter diet. While vegetables are challenging for your stomach to digest, it is a good challenge: the rich source of nutrients forces your digestive system to slow down so it can capture all the nutrients.\n\nI think the only thing that will help you is avoiding ghee, or butter in all its forms. Same thing with unhealthy oils.\n\nOlive and canola oils should go down a lot easier, and they will aid with digestion as well.\n\nSome people like to try digestive enzymes. Bromelain, derived from the stem of the pineapple plant, and papain, derived from papayas, are effective digestive aids.\n\nBromelain is the easier and better tolerated enzyme. You can find it in any health food store. Start off with one 500 mg pill about five minutes before you eat and see what happens. But, this is trial and error: some people take bromelain first thing in the morning and they are good for the day, while others need to take a pill before every meal. Find out what your body prefers.\n\nIf the bromelain is ineffective, then try the papain, with the same dosage advice.\n\nOf course, avoiding fatty foods entirely is the best option.\n\nPeace.


Everyday see sends me e-mail about god church and the bible (i am athiest). But she contines to send me such e-mails.\n\nP.S.Please people no preaching.

Please realize she is just doing what she feels is right.  She wants you to know what she feels about her religion.  According to what most religions teach, she is just trying to protect you from your current beliefs.  Even if it is annoying to you, it shows she cares about you and is worried for you.  \n\nAs to getting her to stop, I would either sit down with her and let her know that no e-mail sent to you about her religious beliefs are going to change you beliefs, expecially when you are recieving so many that you don't even read them anymore, if ever.  Let her know you respect her beliefs, and that you need her to respect yours.  Make sure not to bash what she believes, but make sure she understands, you are not interested in it.  If that doesn't work, you could always block her from sending you anymore e-mails.  Just mark her address as spam.  I had to do that to a friend of mine.  She still doesn't realize I don't get all of the stupid jokes she was-and probably still is-sending to me every day.  I hope this helps.  :)


I was told that the boat used in the movie pirates of the caribbean is for sale does anyone know any details?

i think its a crime to be able to tell people what they can and cant do in thier own establishment

I agree with you. Although I am not a smoker, we don't ban alcohol or other things that could ''POSSIBLY IN THE LONG RUN CAUSE YOU HARM'', why do they get away with doing that to tobacco...how about Potato Chips????


... that they couldn't do in Pittsburgh? Why can they take a losing Tiger team and turn them into winners in one season, when they spent years with the Pirates and couldn't do it?

It's simple buddy......they Tigers always had the talent, it was just having the coaches really push the team.  The Tigers managers for the past few years have been real soft with the team, and now having a manager really pushing the team, and not making excuses when they lose is great!  You forgot to add an ex-Pirate to the coaching staff of the Tigers.....Andy Van Slyke.


If there is a all knowing, loving God who CARES for His creations, why did He give all this information to the prophets, Moses, etc .. but not send down from Heaven a specific recipe for an ointment to kill off the fleas and other body bugs that historical documents tell us infested the beards, clothes and huts of the writers of the Bible and Koran?\n\nI mean, if God could change water into wine, hold back the waters of the Red Sea .. how about some parisite relief for those He is said to Love, just an easy and practical ointment recipe?  Or even some manuals on how to do simple appendectimy operations, to save the thousands of lives lost, until we figured this out? Instead we get volumes of who begat who, and so on .. Where's the BEEF?\n\nAre the religious "believers" not just kidding themselves, that there is a God .. with all these questions that they can not answer properly?

The ingredients you find to rationalize your disbelief amuses me! Come on, dude, FLEAS!!!LOL that is your way of proving their's no God!? Weak proof at best. You should go back to the guy who put that into your head and slap him!!!LOL( just kidding, don't do that!) Appendectomies, right? Well I don't remember any of God's prophets killed from a lack of appendix surgeries! Yet God has always healed HIS CHILDREN who love Him. God uses such problems as the appendix to judge grown ups,yet things go wrong, and little children die, but isn't it better that they don't have to go on in this world but rather in a perfect world with their Father? Ohh yea, you believe that's it for the child, no chance, no hope, no love. Your beliefs sentence those children to nothingness and loss. Is that right? The "beef" as you say is in the Bible and you're starving yourself trying to devour the scraps dropped from Darwin's table. But his table is empty by Darwin's own admission. Darwin said "If one could prove that single-celled organisms can split then I am wrong." (I'm paraphrasing) And they can split as your precious science has proven. So why do scientists continue to back Darwin's THEORY? Because they would rather back a lie that they discovered rather than the truth that makes them useless. I'll tell you another miracle of God, friend. The miracle of God changing your heart, and that's the one that's harder than any other, but IT CAN HAPPEN if you'd let it.

ya.he was born in russia in 1834.he's the youngest in his family of 17!at the age of 32,he became a professor of chemistry in St.Petersburg.in 1869,he created the first periodic table.he loved to teach chemistry & in honour of his services to the science of chemistry,the Mendeleev Museum in Leningrad was built.\nhope that helped-cheers!\np.s. his great success lay in predicting the properties of elements that had not yet been discovered.he predicted the discovery of 10 elements.he then put forward detailed ideas on the particular properties of 4 of these elements.remarkably, when the elements gallium & germanium were discovered,their properties were very similar to his predictions.in his periodic table,there was a space for this element - "the metal that melts in your hand" , below aluminium.he called the missing unknown element eka-aluminium!interesting facts huh?!!!!!!!

On the Big brother teen edition here in the Philippines, two housemates are both half filipinos. One is called fil-am because he's half american, half filipino and the other one is called amerasian although she's also half american half filipina! The only difference they have is that the amresian's nationality is filipino and the fil-am is an american by birth. Now, differentiate the two.

I don't see any difference between the 2 terms but you seem to have stumbled on the answer yourself.  Amerasians are those born of an american and a Filipino parent but were born in the Philippines, hence the Filipino citizenship.  Fil-ams are those born of an American and a Filipino parent but have dual citizenship because they were born in the US. The US follows the principle of Jus Solis when it comes to citizenship so that whomever is born on US territory gets their citizenship while in the Philippines, the principle of Jus Sanguinis (citizenship by blood) comes into play so no matter where in the world the baby is born, if it was born of a Philippine citizenship, the baby also gets Philippine citizenship. So a Fil-am would have dual citizenship having been born in the US of American and Filipino parents.


Instead of taking away all chat rooms why don't you teach your 13-year-old how to use the Internet and chat rooms safely.  Find websites with kid friendly chat rooms and tell them if they want to chat, only to chat here and never EVER give out personal information like name, address, or telephone number.  Explain to them that on the Internet anyone can be who they want to be and just because someone sends you a picture that doesn't mean that picture is really them.\n\nAlso make sure you put the computer in the most public place you can find, usually the kitchen or living room is a good choice.  As long as there is always someone coming or going so they can check in on your child and make sure they're not in inappropriate chat rooms or visiting inappropriate sites.\n\nBy blocking all chat rooms and making them forbidden it's only going to make them more appealing in your 13-year-old's eyes and he/she won't have the skills to use them safely.  He/she will find a way to use them either at a friends house, at school, or at the library.\n\nInternet safety is a skill that will last a lifetime and it's better that you teach it sooner rather than when it's too late.


When some other nation is hit with a natural disaster who is the first to send help AMERICA! Not just the government, but the people in money, volunteers, and with a voice call for other to help. How many soldiers of the world kill the enemies all of them how many help as soon as the battle is won all that come to mind is the AMERICAN SOLDIER!\n\nIt seems like to be a proud America is well almost a crime into days world yet it was not America who started the colonization of the world that led to it very birth. If America had been like other powers in history globalization would look very different. Would we have not kept all of Mexico in the war against them in 1846, or would we not have kept Spain in the Spanish-American war.\n\nHow about Japan and parts of Germany at the end of WWII no instead we help rebuild them into powerful and stable lands. Who kept the former Soviet threat at bay AMERICA! No one seemed to mind are powerful nation when it was protecting everyone, but now we defended ourselves and we are the bad guys.

If you look at the posters, most of the America haters are Americans. I have seem nothing like this since the crybabies of the 60's.

I live in NYC, have a laptop and a wireless card. For some time I have been connecting for free to some wireless networks (default, linksys, and wireless). I am lately experiencing problems. Sometimes I see them with a padlock with a message that says 'security enabled', and cannot connect since I do not have the required password. Does anyone know how this works?

I don't live in NYC so, I may not be able to answer your question to the fullest, but I will try to answer base on wireless set up.\n\nThe whole time, you were connected to a non-secured network, where sometimes, leave their wireless network open (unsecured). Now the wireless network you used to connect to is secured. In order to use that wireless again you will have to have the key to allow to connect that network. Well, unless you know the owner, most likely they wont give it to you. \n\nAs I understand, the wireless network you used to connect to was not a public one. It seems like someone just left it open (unsecured) and now it's secured. \n\nIf it was a public wireless, it would not be secured without a notification.

I've just graduated college and my credit isn't the greatest. A few late payments and a settled account. How can I clear my credit of any blemishes and get it so I can finally get a loan or buy a car without ridiculous payments?

As a recent graduate, you will get some grace from creditors so long as you are employed in you field of study.\n\nPay back every penny that you have outstanding starting with the highest interest rates.\n\nA few late payments and a settled account are not a major hurdle. That being said, buy a good used car. Save your $, create and maintain a large (one full years pay) rainy day fund.\n\nThe 5 "C's" of credit are:\nCharacter - Do you follow through with your promises\nCapacity - Do you have an income sufficient for the debt\nCredit - How do you pay and are you overextended\nCollateral - Does the creditor have a car they can reposes\nCapital - Do you have $ in the bank.\n\nBy paying off all debt, maintaining employment and building a rainy day fund, you will score well.


I mean, come on, they are slow when you need them, but if you aren't bothering anyone and they are bored, then they start bothering you. I had just walked out of the building so I lit a ciggarette, the door to the building was still open a little and a lady was coming in with bags, I held the door for her, but I still had the cigarette, dont you know this IDIOT cop gave me a ticket for smoking INSIDE the building when I was still OUTSIDE, I just was holding the door. I gave him a fake name and an address to an abandoned building. Thats how stupid they are. So I am NOT paying any ticket for something I didnt even do!\n\nAnother certified rant.  lol

I must say I totally CANNOT STAND THEM! They did do a GREAT job during 9/11 though. I am sorry about your aunt. My grandmother has the same problem because, she lives on the next block from the precinct and they never do anything. Some of the police officers there are secretly pimping young girls in my grandmothers building. I do not like the ones who abuse their authority. The siren thing has happened to MANY of us. We all need to find a way to stop their abusive and ignorant ways. I notice that some are very immature as well, and fresh, one officer told me that he would not give me a diorderly conduct ticket or arrest me(I had a fight in my high school age.) If I gave him my number, I gave it to him, I should have reported him, but I was scared.( the number to the call rejection service!) It plays a message that says "You probably got this number from a girl, who thinks you are ugly, have bad breath or are just plain dumb, in any case, YOU HAVE BEEN REJECTED!", and then it laughs for about 5 minutes and hangs up..still laughing.\n\nbtw, the cigarette thing is totally dumb too, alot of them smoke in their uniforms! How disgraceful


Specifically, I want to see today's episode of Charmed.  I went out of town and had to miss it (no Tivo, and no VCR how sad am I), but it was the series finale, so I want to see it!  Does anyone know where I can watch it online or when it will be on again?

I wish I knew. I saw it today and it was good but it seemed like a rush ending. Good luck finding it.\n\nI just remembered there is the site www.tvshows.org if ur willing to pay for it.  I'm not sure if they have it right at this moment tho...


I need to do a program for my programing assignment and have to use dynamic array of pointers, but so far I have no idea what it is (what structure it uses etc.)

Generically, it is an array of pointers that can change in size.  So you have a number of pointers refering to some data locations in memory, and you add and subtract pointers from the list as the program goes.


I was just thinking of this the other day.  Jesus ascended bodily into heaven, didn't he?  And I've heard it said that if one were to find the bones of Jesus buried somewhere that it would destroy Christianity.  But then I have thought about this and wonder why that is so.  Jesus is not his physical body, is he?  Did Jesus have a physical body before he was born on earth?  Or was he a spirit?  And if he is in essence a spirit, then what would it matter if he left his body behind on the earth?

There was a group in Paul's day that said when Jesus resurrected, He was a spirit and not a body. Jesus proved this to be false because He ate with the disciples and said to Thomas, "See, a spirit does not have flesh and bone." (note: no blood, that was shed on the cross)\n\nAlso notice that Jesus was able to appear and disappear at will. Yes, Jesus has a body, but there was something about it that superceded the laws of physics. It was a resurrected body. But note also that He still bore the scars of His crucifiction. These will be a living witness of His love for us for the rest of eternity.\n\nThis new body is a slight glimpse of what is waiting for the believer. Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also." Some think that this "place" is actually our new body.\n\nBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. - 1 Peter 1

He said that he was going to drag me by my hair out of his building not through the elevator but down the stairs he lives on the 15th floor. What should I do? I love him and don't want to leave, but should I? He so sweet outside of the threat.

not sure if you are able to read these answers on your screen...it is just a matter of time before your eyes become swollen and bruised, maybe a few broken ribs..and you'll still be saying 'but he's so sweet...and he said sorry' bla bla bla. girl, get counselling.


we know have to pay to send parcels to our troops in Iraq,when my brother-in law was there last time,we could send stuff free,through the B.F.P.O. system,now we have to pay,anyone know why?Is it because Iraq is no longer considered a war zone?

when the war was in full swing old tony decreed that parcels of a certain size would be free to post to Iraq. But as soon as he could he kicked that one into touch so that people have to pay again, it's just another little way he can kick the lads in the teeth while there out here risking there lives


i m 48f..agree i owe small claims judgement  that has been going on 16 yrs....i do not work ..live w/ son and am caretaker to him and grandchildren....can i b ordered to pay?

yes. now collecting it, could be a trick. unless you signed a formal document stating HOW it will be paid.\n\nGet a Lawyer. I've never heard of a person going to a superior court for contempt in small claims.\n\nIn some cases, there are statues of limitations. 16 years is a long time to be worried about it now.\n\n\nMost reasonable Judges would see this. Did you get a letter from Superior Court?  or someone blowing smoke about taking you there?\n This I would have to SEE, to believe.\n\n.

Feb 14, 1835. HC 2:182. Joseph Smith preached that the coming of the Lord would be in 56 years (i.e., about 1891). This prophecy also occurs in his diary for April 6, 1843 and HC 5:336. See also D&C 130:14-17. Joseph Smith prophesies that "there of those of the rising generation who shall not taste death till Christ comes." He prophesies "in the name of the Lord God - let it be written: that the Son of Man will not come in the heavens till I am 85 years old, 48 years hence or about 1890." (The official historians have deleted the last phrase, beginning with "48 years" from the church history, but it is contained in the original diary.) The version in D&C 130 is phrased negatively, i.e., Christ will not come before 1890. It is also made conditional on Joseph Smith living to the age of 85. Joseph Smith says (v 16) that it might merely mean that if he lives to 85 he will go where Christ is, and therefore see his face. But that interpretation would not make sense if the revelation is in response to Joseph Smith's inquiry about the time of the second coming (v 14).\n\n\nFULFILLED?: The second coming did not occur about 1891, and the Church does not claim that it did. Nor has it occurred since. Joseph Smith did not live to be 85 years old. God must have known that he would not. Why would God make a revelation conditional upon an event which he knew would never happen?

This is not a prophecy for one, matts got that right.  And God never told Joseph he would live to be 85, He said, if thou.  In v16, this leads me to believe that the Lord is telling Joseph not to be concerned with such things, that he will see Christ regardless of when the second coming is.\n\nI am wondering if these are even your own thoughts, because this stuff looks like it came from www.exmormon.org.  Do you know anything about these people who write this stuff?  For all you know they are apostates that have been excommunicated for being an adulterer and become imbittered over it, or something else, and instead of repenting and working to be reinstated into the church, they live their life trying to justify their actions by claiming the church isn't true.  It is all biased.  It is worse than mainstream news.  How can you actually read this stuff and feel fulfilled?  What happened with you Brandon, that you feel you have to destroy the faith of others?  Isn't the faith you have good enough; you have to try to discredit others faith for what?  To strengthen yours?  That is not how to develop faith.  If you were content with your beliefs that would be enough for you.  What is this enfatuation with the LDS church?  It sounds like you might read this anti-mormon trash more than you study to develop your personal beliefs, I hope I am wrong, but is that what God wants?


When people are still wearing their sunglasses inside a building while they are talking to you. Anyone else see this as a little disrespectful? I think so.

I work for a state agency and its against our uniform code to wear sunglasses when addressing the public (indoors or out).  Same goes for cops (sometimes they do wear them to be intimidating, but its within your rights to ask them to remove the glasses).  Therefore, I'd say its incorrect to wear them when talking to other people.  Unless there is a medical issue, of course.


I signed up for a half marathon but I don't know how I'll get through it! I never ran that much before.

work up to it slowly.  You need at least 13 weeks to train for a half. \n\nYou'll start by running 3-4 days a week.  One long run, and 2-3 shorter runs.  Cross train with swimming and biking to build up endurance.\n\nHeres some links to sample training schedules for beginners.\n\nhttp://www.stlouismarathon.com/event_details/TG_Half_Marathon_NOV.asp\nhttp://www.fleetfeetstl.com/LC/halfmarathontraining.pdf


their was a television advert asking for under 19 football players to go for trials for england are another top club i dont no waether it was like football icon that chelsea held last year can you help

I do know that last season (just gone) AFC Bournemouth gave a trial to someone who just 'phoned the club and asked. Vinny Jones got his break simply by asking to train with Wimbledon - you gotta try if you wanna succeed. Don't give up either; I was told that Roy Keane couldn't even get into his school team - Good luck.

when or if you are reborn, do you remember what your past life was? because if not, then you really are'nt re-born...right? ...and i want to find out now, not when i die

Reincarnation, literally "to be made flesh again", as a doctrine or mystical belief, holds the notion that some essential part of a human being (or in some interpretations, any living being) can survive death in some form, with its integrity partly or wholly retained, to be reborn in a new body. This part is often referred to as the Spirit or Soul, the 'Higher or True Self', 'Divine Spark', 'I' or the 'Ego' (not to be confused with the ego as defined by psychology).\n\nIn such beliefs, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, based upon past integrated experience and new acquired experiences, but some part of the being remains constantly present throughout these successive lives as well. It is usually believed that there is interaction between predeterminism of certain experiences, or lessons intended to happen during the physical life, and the free-will action of the individual as they live that life.


It just happnd yesterday when I was at a General Store buying a branded Cooking Oil.\nThere was a Tag which states " Cholestrol Free"\n\nI asked for the gift and she Laughed.\n\nAny one knows why she laughed? \n\n\nIs she in Love with me or is it some sort of indication to get started?

cholesterol is bad thing for your health, if you eat too much then you will get heart-disease. So they remove it from the oil, and put it on the packaging, so that you will buy their oil...lol

ok, this is a very hard workout\nyou'll sweat gallons, be in aching pain, and suffer so much\nBUT, after a week of this routine, you'll lose more than 8 lbs (promise!)\nok, all you need is a treadmill and a mat.\nwear only a sports-bra, and underwear. and of course sneakers and socks (dont wear a shirt or shorts)\nget on the treadmill at 5:00am. make sure you've got an empty stomach.\nturn the speed on the treadmill to 6 mph immediatly. (dont warm up by walking)\nstay at 6 mph for 10 minutes\nthen, pump up the speed up to 8.5 mph. this is when you'll start huffing and puffing.\nstay at 8.5 mph for 10 minutes, then go to 7 mph for 10 minutes, then get off the treadmill.\nget on the mat, and do 300 crunches (legs straight up in the air), 400 leglifts (very slowly), 200 pushups, 600 free-squats, and 250 lunges on each leg.\nby now, you'll be dripping in sweat, and very tired.\nabout 1 hour has passed already probably.\nnow, get back on that treadmill and give it everything you got........

i know how for you to lose 8 lbs of ugly fat.....cut off your head! \n\ni would pay you just to watch you do this so called 'workout' and finish it. i'll plan on calling 911 after an hour cuz you'll be in cardiac arrest

IMPORTANT:\nI NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT BEING A VETERINARIAN\nHOW MUCH MONEY DO THEY MAKE\nWHAT COLLGE DO YOU GO TO\nGRADES FOR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, OR HIGH SCHOOL\nEVERYTHING !

You don't need to worry about grades as much in elementary school or middle school.  You need good grades in high school to get in a good undergraduate institution.  In Undergrad, you need AWESOME grades to get into vet school (it is HIGHLY competitive).\n\nGo to a college that has some sort of animal sciences major.  You'll need to take chemistry too and microbiology to get into vet school.

You have to go to the web site people to read the jokes then you might have a clue to what she is saying to you.


I've been hangin out wit this guy for over 8 months now and we've hooked up once. We still talk and hangout every once in a while but iono if I like him or if it's just the fact that i know i can get wut i want from him. i do care about him i just don't know if it's that extreme. we were kind of together for awhile. we stopped talkin for about a month, and now we are talkin all the time again. i missed him a lot but i'm not sure. he's one of the only ppl i've ever really been able to tell everything and we can tell each other anything and not judge each other. he always knows when somethings bothering me even when i don't say anything. we just know each other so well but i don't know if we are better off as friends or as a couple.

friendship can furtilize the seed of love!! you know him for 8 months..u been with him also.. so y dont you try to make this relationship WORTH IT?? (it seems to me you kinda in love with this guy)\nGAMBLE YOUR LOVE.... LIFE IS ALSO A GAMBLING GAME!! WIN OR LOSE ..YOU STILL "WIN"


IN PA AT AS CORRECTIONAL FACILITY YOU ARE MANDATED EVERY OTHER DAY FOR DOUBLE SHIFTS. IF FOR MEDICAL REASONS THAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS THAT YOU CAN ONLY WORK NO MORE THE 8 HOURS AND THAT THE MEDICAL CONDITION WILL NEVER CHANGE DO THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO ASK FO A DOCTOR'S NOTE EVERY MONTH, OR IF THE NOTE SAYS INDEF. IS THST OK???

They have a right to ask and you have a right to take the matter to your union rep and see what he/she has to say about it.  You might have a grievable issue.

I made sure I completed the purchase of teh conservatories before completion of the build of the properties.

I'm guessing from your username and that you're referring to VAT that you're in the UK, the following relates to VAT legislation in the UK...\n\nThe only way you can claim VAT back is if you are a VAT registered business.  If for example, you bought the houses as part of your trade (property developer, investor etc) then you can register for VAT.  If you're in business and your turnover exceeds £61,000 in the current tax year then you have no choice but to register for VAT.  The major drawback to being VAT registered is that you have to charge VAT on all Vatable goods and services which means a 17.5% hike in your prices.\n\nThere are some exceptions but I doubt they'd apply in your case - import and export, charitable and educational establishments etc.\n\nAs a private individual it's a case of having to pay VAT and not being able to reclaim it.\n\nThere are ways and means of getting round some things such as becoming a company yourself and selling the assets to a third party (spouse, child, parent etc).  You'd need to speak to an accountant to get the best advice on this.


I think he is exaggerated and he has no extra skills except hiting the ball over average. and he sounds very stupid when he talks:)))

Yeah but he is very nice to look at!\nAgree with you on the fact he is exaggerated, he is good but not exceptional.\nAs for what id like to see him doing..............Lying in my bed would be good :-)


I wish to patent an invention application myself.I have carefully studied the process and think I can manage everything but the 'claims'.These claims are always written in an archaic techno jargon which is very difficult to fulfil.I can't afford the $7-10000 billing for a patent attorney to fulfil the whole job.Does anybody know an economical way to overcome this problem ?.

Some patent attorneys will write claims for you and review/revise the rest at their hourly rate if you ask. See if you can find someone in a small firm who has just graduated from law school and is eager to gain experience. You should also have the attorney submit the application so that the examiner at the USPTO doesn't see that it is being filed pro se. \n\nThe reason most patent attorneys won't do it is because they end up rewriting the whole thing because it isn't in proper form for submission to the patent office. Then the client is upset about the cost, the attorney has spent a lot of time and headache on a small client, and no one is happy.

It is important question. Because in big 3 national channels we hear about big brands while they sell the same products smaller brands sell at much lower prices.\n\nI noticed today for example in fitness segment on NBC Today Show all the products mentioned charge at least 3 to 4 times higher prices than we charge our customers for the same products qality, sizes etc.\n\nwww.BeBodySmart.com

Because the companies that make those products dont get that publicity for free.  They pay HUGE dollar amounts for even those small mentions on the today show.  It's called advertising, and it is a multi-billion dollar intdustry.

Please include whether and for whom you voted in the 2004 election, and why.

No, I for the life of me cannot figure out anybody that does. He is the worst president ever. I voted for Kerry because I knew that Bush and his policys were wrong for America.


And I don't mean in football season u become an SC fan, and then in basketball season u convert to a Bruins fan, I mean do u bleed RED or BLUE along with gold? And in all sports, even the ones that aren't televised, for more details, check out the Lexus Gauntlet.


I know my chances in fighting this w/o a lawyer are slim. But I need to know where to look and what to look for in order to get off. I blew .08% which is the legal limit in CA and this is my very first offense. I know for a fact I can fight it because the officers did not pull me over or arrest me using proper procedure. What do I do? Besides get a Lawyer.

This is a major recreational area. The firetrucks, ambulances, and helicopters are always (once or twice a week) going past with their lights on. Then, on the news they tell about the drowning. My question is...Are ALL lake areas like this? I don't remember ever having seen so much emergency traffic around other lakes. Is this one cursed?

That's creepy.  No.. I've never heard that before... One or two, here and there.. but all the time.. Something is weird about that one.


I have been prayer for this one thing, but it seems like He  just doesn't care for it at all, even when i kneel down and whole-heartedly ask Him to help me.But nothing has really happened. I know I seem selfish, but its just i cant help it i really need this and i know that there isjust no one else out there that can help me, exept Him. Please help me with your words do that I wont lose Faith and Judge Him wrongly again, and just trust in Him, and have patience.

Normally, i tell people "close your eyes and wish real hard". BUT I GOT A BETTER IDEA, If the prayers aren't working, you should stop praying for awhile that will teach him!!!

Yes I do, I have a cute starter home that my fiance and I purchased when we found out I was pregnant.  Its nothing huge or fancy but its perfect for our little family, and we are only paid $94,000....(in Canada)


Everyone seems to be well on the Benjamin train. Maybe I'm missing something. He really only has two moves that are really impresive. His spinning kick and when he lands on his feet when suplexed. Besides that, What does he have?

I agree with you totally with tthat. He does have good wrestling moves. But, I guess those are the only two  moves I have seen him work with.I could be wrong. Have a great day.

This is in relation to a formal reply to a government agency, please do not guess if you do not know.

I've never seen such a thing on a legal document. /s/ is used to indicate there is a signature on an original, but the copy does not include the signature. /s/ is now used for electronic filing in the US Bankruptcy courts when followed by the printed name.\n\n"ss" is used after a county name to indicate it is a county, e.g., Worcester, ss - there is no period after "ss" because it is not an abbreviation.


cause if you had you would see just how crazy they sound\nexample= i was trying to send a message and god stopped it going through so therefore he must have wanted me to not look silly or the other person wasnt ready for my answer\nor i have felt gods power\nall i can say is in england you would  be locked up under the mental health act, and how do you expect us to believe you when you sound so wacko??????

Yup, that's wacked!  Just like several others on here.  They buy it whole heartily and I honestly don't think they realize how weird it sounds to the rest of us.
