A friend and I have been having a debate about this.  She says that companies with an Open Door Policy that say you can talk to any manager up to the president if you have an idea or suggestion that is not being addressed by your manager are not being truthful.  She feels that if she has an issue that her manager doesn't want to address, such as excessive absentism in the group, that there is nothing she can do, despite the fact that the company claims to have an Open Door Policy.  I have worked at companies with an Open Door Policy that seems to work, where employees are not punished for taking ideas and suggestions up the "chain of command."  I would like to know what others think.

Ok I have my own company with about 75 employees.  I have an open door policy and I quite honestly dont really like it too much - anyone and EVERYONE does come in directly to me with ideas, but mostly complaints - quite honestly, I have better things to do with my time than to listen to stuff that my managers can easily enough deal with on thier own.  I do maintain this policy cause every now and then there comes a person with an idea which really works - and that is more than having to bear with all the pettiness that goes on here.  Does it really benefit employees?  Well you know if someone wants to burst into my office and blow off some steam, then go right ahead, I dont care - I never fired anyone for being insolent - where I think it does benefit employees is that when they do come in with their suggestions, it is not only beneficial for the company, but also the suggestions I get are usually on how to make my employees lives easier, so when I follow through on their suggestions, they definately benefit - Also, anything practical that can help out my workers is always favored by me since a happy employee is a productive employee.


Note: The number of feets and heads that I'd mentioned is just the number of feets and heads of both animals. I hope you understand my question.

Grrrr.. Another homwwoek relp Q.\nAnyways i am here to earn points\n\nP + C = 50 /* Num of heads.. Each has one head*/\n\n4P + 2C =  110 /* Num of feet Pig has 4,chicken 2*/\n\nSolving these gives:\nP = 5 and C =45


Who determines how many tracks a recording artiste can put on any one album? Why not fill up the CD with as much songs as it can hold? In addition, 30-minute and 45-minute albums all sell for the same price. What's the cause of all of this??

It still stems from Vinyl records where all you could hold at a reasonable quality was about 45 Minutes over two sides.


I have but this person totally deserved it. They gave me some crappy tasting candy on Halloween..LOL..not a very good reason, but hey trick or treat.

I have never, but depending on the situation I would rather dump a tin of enamel paint over their car (messes up paint job and they have to respray their car).\n\nperfect for a divorce, breakup, someone short changing you, etc.

I'm 5'3 and weigh about 126.....i think this is bad!!(and i'm 13)

A method for evaluating your weight is "body mass index" (BMI)which compares weight with height.  Having a BMI above 25 means that you need to shed some pounds.  Any amount over 29 is thought to be obese.  With the info you have given your BMI is sitting at 22-23 which means you have an optimal weight!!  Don't allow society to tell you what your body should look like.  Take care of yourself and eat right but don't stress over a little extra something here or a little there.  Life is too short.  Make peace with your body and be grateful for all that it does for you everyday!


My aunt went to the doctor because of a headache. After countless tests she was given Motrin and sent home. Why did her headache stump doctors? Why should one spend money to get  tests done if one is going to be sent home with over the counter drugs?

Headaches can have different causes, naming them is not the scope of this forum.  The role of a physician is to determine the cause of the headache.  If the headache's cause is an underlying disease (for example, high blood pressure, sinus infections, tumors, etc), then, that is what one treats.  If it is determined that is a migraine, then you treat it as a migraine.  Most of the time headaches have no organic cause and have no specific therapy other than pain medications.  Our role as MD's is to discover the cause of the headaches.  If there is none, then you treat the pain. It has nothing to do with being "stumped".  Your family member should be glad that the tests done are normal and she does not have an underlying dangerous illness.


what  i meant by that is that you dont know the girl personally but you know who she is and she knows who you are then you realize the day when you guys  eyes meet you fall deeply in love then you know deep in your heart shes the one no doubts your a 100% sure.cuase you just know it. and your heart tells you.or is it not a phase,HAVE THAT EVER HAPPEND TO YOU PRINT HOW OLD YOU ARE

It's Puppy Love!!! How cute!!! Remember as a teenager you are still too young for some responsibilities don't jump the gun and also if you have been in love for 3 yrs. then you can wait  3 more and then you'll know if she is still the one and if she is then you can be together forever. Right? Right! And if not... then the one will come later.

i'm doing biology, and i need information about segmented worms. wikipedia redirected me to annelids. are they the same?

Yes. The phylum Annelida consists of the segmented worms. It includes the Classes Polychaeta (many haired worms), Oligocheata (sparcely haired worms), and Hirudinea (leeches).


I am a senior in college and I have no clue as to what I want to do with a degree in sociology.What are some possible suggestions?

Suggestion 1 would have been to never get a degree in sociology.  That was a bad choice if you actually want to earn enough to live on.  I have known several people who have studied this, NONE of them have a job in sociology.  MAYBE if you had a PHD in sociology you would at least have a chance, but the only jobs in sociology are teaching sociology and possible social worker work.  Either way, you'll need to brush up on your table waiting skills.  I'm not trying to be mean, these are just my observations.\n\nIf you are hellbent on finding a job in sociology, try working with underserved children in non-profit organizations such as The Steppingstone Foundation.  They might hire someone with a slightly heightened awareness of social issues.


Yeah sure i do like this guy, but we're really close friends. This guy i've likes since the start of the year and for some time i was trying to get him to date me. But that didn't work out so well and now he even has his own girlfriend. \nBut the thing is just yesterday he was asked if we're dating. And then today one of my friends come up to me and tells me everyone thinks that me and this guy are dating, even she did till i told her i'm not.\n\nAlso i'm on really good terms with his parents and sister. Even alittle bit from his dad shockingly. and i'm starting to get that homey feeling and that you don't feel odd around the parents.\n\nAlso ever since he started dating this girl he been silent with it. you'd usally want to be with you girl as much as you can, but he stil hangs with me like he was single, and we even slept in the same bed (double person one).\nSure i want to date him but i don't want it to be rumors i want it to be true.


Building a subdivision on an old gold mill tailing pond.

i would imagine you'd have issues with electrochemical reactions between the copper and the various heavy metals in the tailings.  This of course is completley dependant on what is contained in your specific tailings, and what the concentrations of these metals are.  Overall, talk to an engineer familiar with the site for more details


I mean , have you seen HOLY SMOKE stared by Kate Winslet or Killing Beauty stared ky Liv Tyler, or UNFAITHFUL....have u seen them, they were totally naked and were infact ...you know..it seems so real.

actually they really do it....they had intercoures. Its just a matter of their carer. They dont mind


what activities or experiences\nstrategies

Science and technology can be experienced in many different ways, particularly in reference to the things that interest children. When children are a little older (3-5), they enter into the Foundation Stage curriculum, and science comes under the heading of 'Knowledge and Understanding of the World'. \n\nIf a child is interested in something, the best thing to do is to help them find out all they can about the topic, say, Pirates. for example. You could use the internet to find out about pirates, what they looked like, how they spoke, what they did, where they came from etc. and use what they find out to play a game, maybe even turn the sofa into a pirate ship for the day :) Children love to learn, and like it even more when it's something they care about.\n\nI know this is a very general idea on science and technology, but it can be applied to lots of situations. Hope this helps.


It would be VERY nice to have a close friend, or even a best friend.

the best way to make a friend is to know what they like. another thing I've come to learn that if you are mean and extremely opinionated, it could get on the other persons nerves... so to keep a friend there's basically 1 rule, treat them how you would want to be treated. to make the friend id simple. first it helps if you make the first move. start with some light conversation, you know intrests and such and then mabey exchange phone numbers and gradually star hanging out an dhtne let it go from there

Are there any girls that do NOT like having their "girls" kissed? My girlfriend does not, but she has all the other typical erogenous zones. So, she's not frigid or anything, it's just that she doesn't like that... I thought all girls liked that!

That area is just too sensitive on some women. Remember every woman is different. \nBesides that, ask why she doesn't like this done. She'll be more than happy that you're actually concerned, and she may even offer other tips on what she does like.


importer of medicinal herbs (pure) or buyer of raw herbs

I suggest you contact the embassies or the international fairs.


This is been bothering me for some time..at least 90% of the so-called christians I have had contact with claim to be "saved", but yet are the first to chastise, judge, and promote hate and intolerance of others.  I claim to be a christian too, but do not attend church because of what I see there...and DO NOT tell me I went to the wrong church...they are all the same, been to many, many, many. Even though I have been saved, does this mean I'm "un-saved" now?

I think that people, no matter who or what their professed religion or culture, are human.  As humans, we sin and we fail, as we strive to possibly be better, and to follow the teachings of our Christ and God.\n\nRemember to err is human, to forgive is divine- and don't Generalize, or stereotype all Christians into one category- we are not all the same.\n\nAs for church going- I don't believe God condemns us for not attending church, in general.  Church is more man made than God made, and as long as you believe and attempt to be a good Christian, Church is in your heart, you are still saved.


Example:  In North Carolina, it was legal to beat your wife.  But only on Tuesday, and with a leather strap, not a wooden stick.\n\nAnother Example: It is against the law in North Carolina to have pre-marital sex.  Also, it's against the law to do different positions, other than traditional missionary, even if you ARE married.  And that law is still on the books!\n\nAre there any strange laws where you live?

In Texas it is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.  Also the Encyclopedia Brittanica is banned.\nsee: http://www.dumblaws.com


I thought there was going to be a boycott???? I work in a mall and have been counting how many people of Hispanic orgin have come in and I'm already over 100.  So the question is what happened to the boycott?????

LOL! I KNOW! (^_^) I guess they don't know that 1. Not all produce is picked by hand. The only ones I think that still are, are strawberries and lettuce. Even tomatoes are being mechanically harvested. 2. They don't EARN enough money for their taxes to pay off the amount they are using in gov. aid 3. We don't manufacture many things in the U.S. anymore, ANYONE with a limited amount of education can see that the U.S. is becoming a service based nation. We get our goods from nations like India and China. A lot of the food we eat is now being imported, like sea food. 4. Oil is the major player in setting prices. Cheap labor can be found anywhere in the world. They are not indispensable. Ask the Chinese.5. Even if 30million, which I doubt, go on strike. That still leaves about 270million people who are not. It's just a small percentage overall. 6. Look how long the women's movement took. Look how long the civil rights movement took.7. The majority of LEGAL U.S. citizens are against ILLEGAL immigration and rewarding people who break the law. 8. The U.S. is NOT like France and other countries on the American continent. Protesting isn't going to move the senate as much as you would hope it would. This is a nation of LAWS. We don't change them just because they INCONVENIENCE you.\n\n\nGeneral Wesc: My father was part of a massive layoff, from a company in silicon valley Ca. Many, many people were let go when the dot-com bubble burst. Ford, and other car manufacturers have also let people go. These were people who lost their jobs PERMANENTLY! It wasn't just thousands but TENS of thousands of people, and every year the number is going up. They survived. 1 day isn't going to make a difference. Your point is invalid. Many analysts have suggested that the illegal labor force is actually HINDERING the development of new technology. Just like the cheap price of oil has kept the u.s. from switching over to ethanol, as Brazil has done. We are paying the price now, for some small savings back then, for our oil dependence. The price of oil is only going to rise, I heard it can easily hit $100 a barrel. The cheap illegal labor force will have a bigger negative impact as well in the not so distant future.  There will come a time when it will no longer be 'cheap' labor, but still be from illegals. Do we have the foresight to prepare and solve the problem as we should have done with oil before the consequences are irreversible?


some sugg:\ngrowing his hair\nturning heel (against the crowd)\ntanning his body\ngrowing a beard\nwearing a vest and grown hair with beard

Some fans are tired of seeing Cena with the belt, and Cena doesn't have the staying power he had...the Eminem rapper wannabe act is getting played out...and the fans are losing interest. It's obvious even to the WWE; you notice Cena's not doing the ghetto-street talk anymore (thank god) nor is he 'rapping' about his opponent like he used to before each match. Plus, the WWE is starting to (very gradually) turn HHH into an antihero-babyface (good guy) again. He's always had a strong fan base whether good or bad. Look for him to take the title soon, with the fans cheering him for it. They might even have Cena turn heel before he loses the belt. Sorry Cena fans but HHH consistently puts more butts in the seats. Look for Cena to do a slight image makeover over the next few months...very slight, as the chain gang merchandise still sells... and come back perhaps as a heel.


Im 24 years old.I married with a heart patient.I knew only after my marriage.My husband is not fit for intercourse.They hide the fact.\nApart from that, my husband's family is good.Im not dieng for sex.\nBut, the media, the environment, the youthness of mine is tempting me.\nDont suggest me the divorce.My own family cant afford that as I've 2 younger sisters.\nI've decided to stick with my fate.

If you wanna continue u may with him being a nurse yr whole life. If not have an extra affair to fulfill yr needs talk to him about it. or just hide it..

My perimeter is 12cm.  My sides are all equal.  The sum of half my sides is equal to 6cm.  How many sides do I have? what is my name??

I'm afraid that with the given information, this would be impossible to determine. The only thing one could conclude from this information is that this polygon has an even number of sides. \n\nIt could be a square with sides of 3cm each\nIt could be a hexagon with sides of 2cm each\nIt could be an octagon with sides of 1.5cm each\nIt could be a decagon with sides of 1.2cm each\nIt could be a 12-gon with sides of 1cm each\n\nThe list is infinite unless you are given more specific information, such as the length of each side or the angles within the shape.


I am already taking antibiotics(levaquin) and put a hot rag on it everyonce in a while to draw out toxins..but I am wondering what else I can do to help this..I have an abscess possible syst right on and below the waistline on the top part of bladder

There is a sauve called Bag Balm. It will draw the infection out of just about anything. It is in a mostly green square tin. I swear by this stuff. Try it.


i need a name for company that will sell fairtrade silk from cambodia, apart from the company we will start a school and training center for ex child prostitues, these girls can then support there family without having sex with old dirty man. thanks!!

I would avoid anything with sex in the name... LOL. \n\nI recommend Hopespun. Kinda like "homespun", except it's hope because that's what you're giving the girls. Hope. And spun is for the silk, of course. \n\nGood luck with the business! Sounds great!


Since Mr.Harper's been priminister i've seen him follow suite, taking a lesson from Mr.Bush himself. Both men upon becoming leaders immediately put  troops at war, instilled giant leaps in Military and Police funding, Censorship of the media concerning troops returnig. Both men immediatly set huge tax cuts for the rich and corprate sector as we've seen in yesterdays budget. I can't help but think there is more here than meets the eye. I'm left wondering who's really pulling the proverbial strings.

It so is.\n\nMr. Harper and Mr. Bush are both operating from the same faith-based conservative political standpoint, and so, they've got a lot to agree on. The federal budget also shows the cut of $2 billion over 5 years from the environmental programs of the past liberal government, which were geared towards adapting Canada even more to the Kyoto protocal. As it ever so happens, Harper is passing off the protocal in favor of a "made-in-Canada" approach. Atleast he's not dismissing it all togeather like our neighbors to the south. \n\nOn top of that is the recent agreements pretaining to soft-wood lumber, which in the long run will favor America as opposed to upholding fair trade.\n\nHarper and Bush are just two peas in a pod.


i liked the last episode of LOST a lot!!! i expect that sayid will come to the others and try to rescue his friends, but he will get caught! hehe.. tell me what do u think is gonna happen ? and how u think season 3 will be like!

Bobbicool that's the only way you can continue to have a show. If you answer all the questions everyone has and don't present new questions at the same time then how can they have a 3rd season ?? I'm confident the writers of LOST have a long range plan, but at the same time I'm scared because while watching an interview with the actor that plays Michael he mentioned that he's actually not sure what will happen in season 3 because while they were shooting the season 2 finally they shot a different ending then what was shown. He said what he was told was that the ending of season 2 would be the last time you see Michael until the 4th season when he was supposed to come back to the island with a rescue party. But when he watched the final at home the way it ends for Michael it looks like he could be staying. Maybe after Jack filled everyone in  on what Michael did they all came together on a plan, that would explain why Jack winked at Kate. What I'd like to see happen is Michael takes the boat to where the black smoke is. He tells Sun to take Walt on Desmonds boat back to their side of the Island. Then Michael, Sayid and Jin go back after Jack, Sawyer and Kate on the boat he got from the OTHERS. As they are going back for their friends they see another boat, which looks like it's coming from where the OTHERS were holding Jack and company. They follow far enough behind that the OTHER do not know they are being followed......from that point on I have no Idea. I do like the Idea though of having season 3 have flashbacks of the OTHERS.


Most of what I see on tv indicates that the women men consider "hot" have long hair and I haven't seen too many beer posters with short haired women.  What do you guys out there really think??????

It seems like long hair is a favorite with males.\nMyself,  it kind of goes with the color and the cut or style of the hair.  \nsome style of cut looks sexy and seductive while other long thin stringy hair does not.  \nCare, pampering, and of course, no split ends,  will make all lengths of hair more appealing.\nAs far as using the hair to pull,  isn't that what ears are for. "jokes"


...coming from my navel. What is going on? Also I constantly itch around my abdomen area. I have consulted the family doctor he informed me that I have allergies. This is the first year that I have allergies and even taking the prescribed medication I still itch. What should I do about the itching and my "smelly belly"?

Did you tell the doc you still have itching? I recommend Switching meds.  There are usually three or four meds that can do the same thing with slight variations.  The first med prescribed isn't always the best for you.


Hi!\nI am hubert here \nI want to sign my name for jive records ,\ni wanna know how to?\nIt`s just that i wanna show my talent to this wandering world

First thing you need to do is understand that you may not make it in the music world no matter how talented you are. Then make a demo. You can't go anywhere in the music business without a demo. The next thing you need to do is make your demo look interesting. If they don't like it from the start, they won't listen to it. Then, find an address to send your demo to. Send it with your name, phone number, and address. Finally hope they accept you and think you're worth the time and money.


i cant remember what it was for the life of me, but it was a show. if anyone knows or can remember i would greatly appreciate it. its been driving me crazy.

The name of the show was "Turbo Teen".  It was made to capitalize on the popularity of "Knight Rider" but only 13 episodes were made before it was cancelled.


i mean i fit into it but is it normal for a 13 year old. And what is the avrage Bra size for a 13 year old.

Sounds great. However, I know a friend of mine eventually had surgery for breast reductuion (shame), because it was troubling her. I think she had back aches, but I am not sure - also don't really know what size she was.


why do people say dont look for a friend or for love let it find you?

Good question. Love and friends comes when you least expect it, or when you are most busiest, and can't have the time to have it. You can't create your life, it creates you with circumstances you find yourself in. Enjoy life, and the rest will fall into place.

Am interested to know about remembering veterans, loved ones, laying wreathes, parades, picnics etc.

in israel there are official ceremonies all day long, with everyone remembering their loved ones who perished in the struggle to protect our country... its very emotional because there are, unfortunately, TONS of victims, so every single community has lost someone... in our community we have a girl who lost her sister and father in a terror attack at a resturant, the night before the sister's (who died) wedding. so, this year that girl- who is around 14- wrote a speech about her father and sister, how she misses them, how she manages to keep living...\nall in all, Memorial Day here is very serious and official, very well-respected nationally. on the eve and the morning of the holiday there is a 2 minute siren, in which the ENTIRE country stops whatever they were doing in order to respect and remember the victims...\none very unusual thing here, is that the saddest day of the year turns into the happiest day of the year when, at dusk, memorial day turns into Independance day!!


They are in love and they want to get married,well now her 17 year old daughter got is pregnant and does not want to be a mom yet,she wants her mother to raise the baby,my friends wants the baby to have the same last name as her soon to be husband,but they dont know if by the time the baby is born they are going to be allowed to get married,is anybody know if there is a way that he can give this baby his last name from prison? the baby will be four years old when this man gets out and he wants to be responsable for the baby to share responsabilities with my friend who is the babys grandmother.


i am thinking about it and wondering does it work and is the food good?

I have tried it and it is very strict. They send you the food for the whole day including the snacks, BUT it is very little and you CANNOT eat anything else! if you ate whatever they sent you and still hungry - guess what? if you eat anything else you will actually gain weight because the food they send contains exact amount of calories you can consume throughout the day to lose about 1 lb a week (at best). The food isn't that great either. I am very picky, I like to cook and pretty good at it and had to make myself eat the food they provided. Although it smelled good the taste just wasn't there.\nOn the other hand a friend of mine (not so picky with the food... AT ALL!) was on that diet for 5 months and she managed to lose 6 pounds.\nEveryone is different. In any case, good luck to you!


Why is it that 'Angels & Demons' by Dan Brown is not so popular when he agrees (scientifically) with God's creation.

I didn't know it was unpopular, I am christian and thought it was a good book. By the way it didn't explain creation for sure, just a hypothesis.


Holy I really wish they would bring back The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, I loved them shows when I was younger, It would be wonderful if someone would bring them back. I have sent e-mails to spike tv, Show case action, showcase Diva, And TV land  and I still haven't heard back from them.

I think STAR World can play them. They are showing Hoggan's Heroes and Get Smart on Sunday. Try writing to them. By the way, Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner were my favorites.


Could any English native speaker tell me whether the following text is perfect in English? (don't worry about the content, but the grammar). Please, spot any spelling/grammar mistake you could find. Thanks.\n\n"The question arose whether the patient was experiencing a relapse of her disease, or a side effect related to the pamidronate treatment.

i wuld also like to know, what kind of infrastructure and finance will i require or if possible name of a consultant in bombay who is an expert in this field.

KPO stands for knowledge process outsourcing....it mainly deals with analytics and business analysis....evalueserve.com is the pioneer in coining this term and is placed at gurgaon....for setting up a kpo firm u need to a team of professionals from various disciplines and contacts in finding out business. today everything is done on computer and they rely on google and their own database for study.


Dose an independent ultimate environment friendly unit exist   ( a village, a town, a building that is dependent only on its own renewable  sources of energy such as , solar panels wind turbine water recycling systems)that do not require support from conventional systems ( the electricity company)?

I don't know, but if you find one, let me know so I can move there.  I wish to integrate all of these into my new home but the cost is unbelievable.  The wind turbines will cost 20k and the solar panels around 30k.  I haven't even begun to look into the waste system yet.  Electric companies only buy and sell electricity and service the delivery equipment.  Look at the logo on the sides of their trucks...they are all the same logo, just a different name.  What a wonderful world.  haha

Okay so my book report on katharine hepburn is due tomorrow and I really need a prop I can bring in...something that I would have around the house that demonstrates her career, or personality, or whatever. 10 points to the best one!

The artist page of Yahoo! Movie described her as: "A fiery Scots-Yankee known for her intelligence, humor and iron determination, Katharine Hepburn demonstrated remarkable staying power in a screen career that spanned more than six decades, winning three of her four Best Actress Oscars after the age of 60. Credit must go to her extraordinary parents, a noted urologist father, who at great professional risk brought the facts about venereal disease…"\n\n\nOther site described her as: "She was bold, brainy, beautiful, and an independent individual and empowered woman at a time when neither of those things was particularly in fashion, and combined in one person were probably intolerable. First and foremost a movie star, she is also a living legend of the silver screen--an actress who brought her own definitive personality to each role she took on, yet one who always challenged herself artistically and refused to let stereotype or criticism bring her down."\n\nShe has career not only in films, but also in radio, television, and theater (you can see her works at the third link)


No one will do them on credit nice lady too  any suggestions

A lot of universities will do it for little to no money. They take in people so their students can learn, using real patients. Not to worry the students are in advanced standing and always supervised. They usually do excellent work because they are enthusiastic and working toward a degree. Call the closest dental college and ask.


77.3 years in USA and 77.1 years in Cuba. (WHO, 2002)\n\nWhy it is so, especially taking into account that Cuba has much lower GNP per capita?

Fidel wont let you live; Fidel wont let you die. \n\nYou can only trick him when you are 77 - his lucky number. At that time - he says you can die now and you have 0.1 years to do it! Thus the average of 77.1


That can add up to a lot in one month. If he is hiding or even lying about anything he is wrong. There should be no secrets between you and him. If he does this about gambling just think if there is anything else he is hiding or isn't telling you. You need to nip this in the bud as soon as possible. If you all can afford for him to do that then let him do it. If you can't afford for him to do that then let him know he needs to stop. That money could be used elsewhere especially if you all have children. Communication is best here. Good Luck!


do you prefer that bad/good boys/girls and why. i like the good boys/girls because they always bail me out when im in trouble and they are fun to courupt. i love how their good on the streets but a freak in the sheets lol

ohhhh so now i understand why my life has been turned upside down... gees


How is it related to the F-critical value?

In a one-way ANOVA, you are testing.\n\nH0: mu1 = mu2 = ... = mk\nHA: At least one mean is different,\n\nwhere k is the number of groups.\n\nThe F statistic, sB^2/sW^2, has an F distribution with k-1 and n-k degrees of freedom under the null hypothesis, where n is the total number sampled.  You will reject the null if the F statistics is too large, since sB^2 would become larger than sW^2 if the null is false.  You would pick an F value such that your significance level (typically called alpha) is in the tail of the F distribution.


He is known as "the loft" in the news-paper community section.He has wanted poster at the post office. He is on his way to buy a loaf of bread. Maybe found at the masonry lodge.


On TV-They are joining the minutemen-why? Because they are tired of how their crime rate has gone up-from these poor souls. It has increased to a state-where their leaders are saying their people are being hurt to an extreme. And they say enough-they will protect their rights too.

Hey, I think that since the Native Americans are their own nation, they should be allowed to impose any laws they want concerning their land.  If they catch an illegal, Scalp-em, hang the rest of their body out so the others can see it.  Ritualistically they have that right.  I am not sure about the Native's actual "war" rituals, but what a sight that would be huh boys and girls.  THAT WAS THE FIRST PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE IN AMERICA.  If you "INVADE" someones land, you better be prepared for whatever they want to do to your ass.\n\nA Little extreme I know, but they DO have the right to protect their land.  I would Shoot the hell out of anyone coming on my land to hurt me or mine, so I say Let the Native Americans Declare War.


What is the importance of the Bill of Rights?  Why was it added to the Constitution of the United States?

I think it was James Madison's wife (may have been Abigail Adams) who suggested that the Constitution said a lot about the organization of the government, but did nothing to specifically protect people, so then he went on a mad tear to construct some of those "inalienable rights" aforementioned.  But he didn't just make them up.  At least one of the Amendments was based on the constitution of the Virginia colony. \n\nThe importance of the Bill of Rights is to address what the state can and can't do to individuals.  Most of the Constitution divides up powers and provides checks and balances, but the Bill of Rights specifically protects people from the bad habits of government.


hi i have done my bachelors in computers and doing my ccna and mcse.i wanna do my masters either in singapore or australia or usa.so wat is the exact masters in the networking field in singapore or in fields like cybersecurity etc.i also wanna know if james cook uni in sigapore is good?as i have looked out for a course there and its called MIT.plese advice

The rumor in Silicon Valley is that there is a second boom going on.  The trend in the US is to outsource a lot of technology work, so you may find that opportunities for MCSE and especially Cisco-certified people are exploding.\n\nNote that your degree work and certificate tracks are two separate things.  It is possible to get work as a certified MCSE/CCNA WITHOUT having a college degree.  It's also possible that no matter how many degrees you have, you may not be able to get work if you aren't certified.  Universities have not quite gotten all their stories straight, so majors may differ from university to university.  Most will discuss Information Technology and Networking for those looking to use their MCSE and Cisco certs.\n\nOn the other hand, large sectors of the market are switching to Linux because it has no licensing requirements.  Much of South and Central America has already made the switch.  Europe is on the fence (about 50%/50%).  Asia has not faced this problem yet because there is such a high degree of piracy.  When intellectual property rights become a big issue, there will either be a large scuffle to get qualified people, or there will be a large scuffle to switch to Linux.\n\nEither way, you can't go wrong!


Dont let nobody tell you your life is over, be every color that you are???????????????????????????

it is by Aly & aj and the song is called Rush


does that mean he is cheaing or don't wanna get caught up and he never comes over to my house to see me but always wants me 2 come over there so i broke up with him and now im talking to this 20 year old dude that treats me right and spends time and wanna take me out and be seen with me what should i do give the older guy a chance or go back with the one i was with for a year but i don't wanna do that cause im not happy with him im happy now that we aren't together. what to do.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that you are definitely doing better now. Face it. The former boyfriend was using you for one thing only. And you know what that was. If..and that's a BIG  IF, the older guy is using you also, at least, he is making you feel good. He seems to know how to treat you, and, believe me, it's nice to have someone who knows how to treat you!


Please give a small description for this question.

An Aquarius/Aquarius couple should get along famously. They are both very outgoing and like to be active, they draw pleasure from helping others and above all else making new friends. This couple may even make some of their friends a little jealous with how well the couple gets along. Their giving spirit and need to help others will probably find this couple heavily involved in after school activities and community affairs.


so many christian groups speak against this group of people quoting one scripture after another but are quick to overlook the parts that say "Love thy neighbor as thyself" :Judge not lest ye be judged".  i just don't understand this-i try to understand where another person is coming from but i am completely lost here.

I wonder how they can be so against abortion and support Bush bombing babies in Iraq. Do they not know that it happens in any war that innocents die. In answer to your question, they are hipocrits. They believe what ever fits the situation. I am not saying all but most. yes I said most christians are going to church to show off their new suit. Not for any other purpose.

"Variation in Diet\nAlthough helodermatid lizards are specialists on vertebrate nests, they appear to be generalists regarding the kinds of nests they exploit.\nA diversity of prey species and sizes has been documented in the diets of Beaded Lizards and Gila Monsters.  Although some of these prey items are relatively small lizard and snake eggs, others, such as quail nets and nestling rabbits, are large and provice substantial energy gains per food item.  A meal of cottontail nestlings can weigh over one-third the mass of an adult Gila Monster and provide nearly one-third of a Gila Monster's annual energy budget (Beck 1990; chap. 4).  Along with these energy benefits come the basic mechanical challenges of swallowing a large meal or a hard-shelled egg.  Egg-eating snakes of the genera Dasypeltis and Elachistodon have modifications of the jaws, teeth, skull, and even the vertebrae that allow them to efficiently swallow eggs (Gans 1974). Although helodermatid lizards are not so specialized, they do appear to use a few "tricks" to make eggs go down easier.\n\nFeeding Behavior\nHow Prey are Eaten\nHerrel et al. (1997) describe five stages of H. horridum eating quail eggs: approach, pierce, uptake, crush, and swallow.  A Beaded Lizard first locates the egg, both visually and by tongue-flicking, then rises on its front legs and bites the egg with its front teeth, piercing it without breaking it.  The piercing bite may be repeated several times, yet the egg remains intact.  During the uptake phase, the lizard maneuvers its jaws around the egg by either flicking the egg in the air or pushing it against an object or the ground.  The tongue aids in maneuvering the food object into the oral cavity, but the primary force used during the uptake phase is inertia generated by movements of the lizard's head, neck, and jaws.  Such a feeding mechanism, called inertial feeding, contrasts with lingual feeding mechanisms (using the tongue to deliver food objects into the mouth) shown by most other lizards (Gans 1969)..."\n\nNot information about the actual digestive system, but information about diet and feeding.  This is an excerpt from Daniel D. Beck's new book.\n\nLet me know if you want a photo of a Gila Monster!


How would like to be my guest/chaparone. While i trip out?\nFemale 23-40. (hey it might be fun)

Me! Me! ME!  When I was 18 my best friend from high school and I drove to LA to see them and it was such a great concert.  Then when they came to Phoenix I got to see them twice.  They are so amazing in concert.  I wish they could tour again.


They used planes (9/11), they've used boats (USS Cole), and they bombed a couple of Subways.  What mode of transportation do you think they'll use next?  I'm thinking Razor Scooter or Jazzy Power Chair.

I think they'll attack in a giant floating anus.


i am a fan of the Red Sox and ya know in 2003, there was a LOT of support.

I'm happy in life, but I just want to be happy in my vocation. Should I uproot and leave the country with my family, or stay put and make my business work out?

Don't give up on your business yet. Keep working, and you may succeed. YOU CAN DO IT!!! On the other hand, seeing and living in new places and doing new things is a good experience. Up to you.


Have you all noticed that all of the world's major religions are commanded to "help the poor"?  If all of us who have faith would concentrate on that one thing, there wouldn't be enough time left over to think about ways in which we can kill each other. Any thoughts on this?

Helping the poor is in fact an ideal. An ideal is something that can never be entirely reached--yet it is something that we can continually strive to attain. \n\nAs for this ideal being commanded in most if not all of the world religions, it only proves one thing--there's some great flaw in religion; either that, or all religions are essentially hypocritical by nature.\n\nAs for killing each other, people and nations don't sit around "thinking" of ways to kill one another--no, conflicts are the result of conflicts of ideas and ideals between two or more parties. When such conficts surface, fighting/wars begin.\n\nIran, right now, is a good example: the U.S. doesn't want Iran to produce nuclear power; Iran, on the other hand, believes it has a right to develop such power. Two countries, two opposite ideas, and each with its own ideals.

For how long can we let illegal structures whether religious or non-religious remain.

What is legal or illegal is all a matter of our own making. Pass a law in Parliament and you can make it legal . What is legal can be made illegal too same way.\nIt is not a question of legality that is involved but morality.\nI understand that the demolition took place arising out of something published in some newspaper or magazine and the issue was not got examined by constituting an enquiry or investigating committee to be submitted to government and then further examined in depth and a consensus decision taken after giving opportunities to be heard to all concerned. May be by mutual consent it could have been agreed to be removed or allowed to remain too.\nWhat is surprising is that those in responsible position are so insensitive to such sensitive issues having already witnessed the after effect of Babri Masjid demolition.\nThe very fact that Supreme Court has intervened shows that \nALL IS NOT WELL with the action taken


all my friends arent virgins they always make fun of me, and they call me marry as in the virgin marry.\ni;m not that religious its just that i would like to lose my virginity to the man im going to be with forever.\ni dont know if thats normal or not.\ni dont know if what im doing is good or stupid.\nmy parents like it though.\nlol.

If that's what you believe is right, you should follow your convictions.  Remember that the only thing that you can give to a guy that no other girl can give is *you*.  If you think that's important enough to save for the man you'll spend the rest of your life with, then follow your beliefs.

His mom said "the bigger they are the dumber they are"\nLater he asked "Mom I saw ladies with bigger b00bies than you!" His mom said "the bigger they are the dumber they are" Fianlly the little boy came back and said "Mommy I just saw daddy having 5ex with the dumbest lady I've ever seen!"

I reckon Sachin Tendulkar is past his prime and has only a couple of years left. Am i right? also i think VVS Laxmans 281 vs us Aussies was the greatest innings in the last 20 years, am i right with that too?

Abt sachin, well he has just 2 to 3 yrs in his hand...but he is always very handy and still he can be the same that way for the coming 3 yrs...he might have not played as extremely as he used to but still his presence wud make the bowlers think twice before they bowl to him...ya, i agree that he has fallen downa bit in his form, no doubt..he looks a much tired player these days....but still, he is the "Master Blaster"\n\nAbt Laxman, in the past 20 yrs, we have come across many a gr8 innings but, 281 which laxman scored was simply the best among a lot others....thr r also other innings like 400 of lara, 150 of Inzy against Bangladesh, couples of double centuries of ponting against India, Hayden beating lara's worldrecord.....and many more......but i do agree to u, Laxman's 281 is very different from others,coz the situation demanded and laxman delivered,....gr8 innings


Direction\n==========\nA spaceship A leaves Earth for jupiter at noon on Monday travelling at 30000 km/hr  . after 6 hr another spaceship B leaves jupiter for Earth travelling at 50000km/hr.the distance betwn jupiter and Earth is 980000km.\n\nQuestion\n-----------\nA  spaceship C leaves  Earth 12 hours after  A and meets A at the same time as B. what is the speed of C ?

All the answer I saw is wrong so far. Come on people.Anyway here is your answer buddy trust me on this. 100% sure\n\nA travels from Earth to Jupiter 6 hours before B starts from opposite side, which means 180000 km/h extra. The total distance is 980000 and when you substrack 980000-180000= 800000 you find the total distance of the meeting point of A and B and since they are traveling towards each other you add they speed which is 80000 and you divide 800000/80000=10hr this is when they are going meet. But since A already traveled extra 6 hours it makes 16 hours and C coming from same point as A but 12 hours later. So in order to C meet with A and B at the same time C has to travel 480000/4= 120000km/hr this means. It is divided by 4 because 16-12=4

my mom wants me to learn my home language from the philipines, but i don't want to. plus, i don't think they even teach that language!

Depends upon what you think is beneficial to you or maybe your job. \n\nSpanish-It's different from country to country, but that is the language that we hear more often in the USA and it's good to know it.\n\nChinese-China will become the next world power. It's up there with India. If you want to get chosen from a lot of colleges, jobs, and know one of the most spoken languages in the world, go for it. Might be hard to get in a highschool. So if you want to learn it you would have to start in college, or go abroad for a year(which is amazing!) Also, knowing this language wows everybody\n\nFrench-Same as spanish. They speak in Africa, France(duh), it's a pretty funky french in Canada, and some islands have it.\n\nThen I would say Hindi, Arabic, German, American Sign, and Russian Languages, would all go to the next spot, because not only are they unique, but they also will get you a high spot in jobs someday. Problem. You are still in highschool. My school is fortunate enough to offer German, but some don't. \n\nIf your mom could teach you the philipine language while you are learning another language, that will better inhance a big plus sign with the colleges. As long as you're doing a good job with them. The more languages you know, the better the chances are that you will get more money. :-) hope this helped!!


After you have worked weekends, evenings for the last year w/o overtime pay because you are an exempt employee?\n(You are doing all this to prepare for an audit, which you hear has gone well)

1.5% is like... well, cold pizza. Sounds like a lot of hard work has been done and the company is missing an opportunity to give this employee recognition and compensation for his/her contributions to its bottom line.\nGreed...greed, I say (on part of the company). I'll get that CEO didn't get a 1.5% raise.


Im 13 and am 5'8" and can bench 200 pounds. Do girls find this attractive?


My dad always says mean things about me when hes mad for something i did. He calls me stupid, worthless, and an idiot. Whenever i cant take it anymore i go up to my room and cry. He calls me a cry baby. I guess i'll never be his little girl. From the day i was born he never once told me he loved me. If i had one wish thats all I would wish for.... i wish my dad would love me(and atleast say it). Maybe im just over reacting. But it really hurts.

Bad moments, like good ones, tend to be grouped together.\n\n       --Edna O’Brien\n\n   Rough times may be pouring in on us at the moment, and they may seem unending.  Difficulties appear to attract more difficulties, problems with loved ones, problems at work, problems with our appearance.  A negative attitude, something that we all struggle with at times (some of us more than others), is the culprit.\n\n   When the good times come, as they always do, they are accompanied by a positive attitude.  We do find what we look for.\n\n   Our attitude is crucial.  It determines our experiences.  A trying situation can be tolerated with relative ease when we have a positive, trusting attitude.  We forget, generally, that we have an inner source of strength to meet every situation.  We forget the simple truth—all is well, at this moment, and at every moment.  When the moments feel good, our presence is light, cheery.  When the moments are heavy, so are we.


i can think iranians seem to be approve of  all which hitlar did with jews.

Iranians are not aryans.  So no, it doesn't have anything to do with it. Most Iranians don't care about Isreal, they would rather that their goverment worry more about taking care of it's own people rather than Palistine or Iraq.  But they don't live in a democracy so they don't have a choice.  The attitude toward Isreal is due to the Iranian goverment and their leader, not due to the Iranian people.

Well lets see it's the best sport ever!!!!!!! Lots of awesome riders and it's super fun to do. I love Motocross, Riding is exhilarating and thrilling makes you feel the ultimate Adrenalin rush. Broke my scaphoid(wrist) in a slide out corner, but was worth it. Freedom... as it is a bike, and you can go super fast as well as jumping these machines to unbelievable heights. I've try ed all different types of bikes for ex. Honda 80cc,200,250,Kawasaki 100,and the latest bike I've ridden is Yamaha 450F. This bike is way too big for me but it is still thrilling to try out.My Old bike was a Honda 200xr and it was a great learning bike. But I like to jump and you need better suspension. So I'm in the midst of buying a new one. For now I ride My mans Honda 250cr for fun. This bike is too hairy for me , as I'm not that big of a body type to ride such a beast. If you ever get the chance to go to a show you should check it out you wont be disappointed. You can always rent bikes as well, but make sure you wear all the protective gear.Enjoy and let loose:).


Hi i need your help does anyone know how those who have been involved in a traumatic brain injury react during awakening;do they still preserve their feelings of love and passion or are they apathetic with family and lovers;pls im in a real dilemma as my boyfriend is in a coma for more than 1 month and i wish he would wake and feel the same about me

sweetie, if he loved you once, my guess is he will love you again. now if he had amnesia...that would be different. then who would know...however, you said a coma, correct? he should be able to hear you in a coma. therefore he knows you're his significant other by what you're saying i would guess.

I'm building a minature titanic for a school project, and I need to draw it it proportional to the real Titanic, so any help finding a site with the measurements of the Titanic would be appreciated

The Titanic was 882 feet 8 inches long, 92 feet 6 inches in breadth. Her designed waterline was 34 feet, 7 inches above the keel. At that waterline the Titanic weighed 52,310 tons or 117,174,400 pounds. The Ship's hull and superstructure contained 4,632,800 cubic feet (46,328 gross tons) of space. Of that 2,183,100 cubic feet (21,831 net tons) were used to make money carrying passengers or cargo.


It is better not to read any book on group discussion. Try to hv practical group discussions with ur friends circle. This is what I did when I got admission in MBA in 1987. The only thing required in group discussion is ur patience to listen to other members of the group with positive oulook. I was the last person to speak in my group discussion and I took its benefit in this way that I summarized the whole discussion and concluded the main points, thus I succeeded. Wish u all the best. Nevertheless, If u insist on book. Read, How to Read and Speak Better in English. This is a Readers Digest Book. This is a general book and u will find many things of ur interest.

Yes.\n\nIt will clear up.  It's the same thing as a cold sore.

I have recently read some Jewish history materials written by Jews. They claim to have been persecuted throughout history in every nation they were ever in. They claim to have been thrown out of every European nation at least one time. I know here in the U.S. I often here from the media and culture here that black people (negroids) are discriminated against and even hated for no reason yet in truth there are many many reasons to discriminate against them and even despise them. I wonder if the same may be the case with the Jews. People that are hated everywhere must be doing something that causes that hatred. Could it be that some of what has happened to them they brought on themselves. What do you know about the Talmud? I have been reading it and it is full of hatred against us and they (Jews) do not like us to know about the Talmud. They like us to think the 1st 4 books of the Old Testament are their most holy writings but according to Jewish religious leaders and even their

If a person is fired from one job it could have been a bad company. when that person loses their second job, he might want to try to ask, "Is it me?" When fired from the third and fourth jobs everyone should know that this guy is not the victim of evil employers, this guy is just a bad employee. Some people have proven to be, on the whole, bad citizens. When you say it about an employee you are making a fair assessment. By our modern standards however, if you say it about a citizen than you are an evil, ignorant, RACIST, bully.

for the function f(x)= x sin (1/x).  how do show that it is contiuous at x=0.  show that f(0+h)-f(0)/h = sin (1/h).  Why doesnt the lim f(0+h)-f(0)/h not exist.  Does f have either a left hand or right hand derivative??

First, since 1/x is not defined for x = 0, before you can show  anything about your functions, you have to define values for g(0) and f(0). I'm going to assume that either the original statement of the problem had that or that you are supposed to find the value that makes the problem solvable.\n\nTo be true you have to define the problems with f(x) = 0 and g(x) = 0\n\n\nFor the continutiy of f(x) given epsilon > 0 find delta > 0 such that |f(x) - f(0)| < epsilon for all |x-0| < delta.\n\n|f(x) - f(0)| = |xsin(1/x) - 0| < |x| = |x - 0|\n\nGiven epsilon, pick delta = epsilon.\nIf |x-0| < delta, then |f(x) - f(0)| < epsilon.\n\n\nAs for the differentiability of g(x),\n\nf(0+h) - f(0)) = (0+h)^2sin(1/(0+h)) - 0\n\nlim(x->0)(f(0+h) - f(0))/h = \nlim(x->0)((0+h)^2sin(1/(0+h)) - 0)/h = \nlim(x->0) h^2(sin(1/h)/h = lim hsin(1/h) = 0\n\nSo the limit exists and is 0.


"...remembering is a great invention of the mind, and if you try hard enough you can remember anything, whether it really happened or not."

It is a rather wry dig at the mind. It describes how you can think you remember something that never happened by what is known as 'wishful thinking'. If you convince yourself that something happened, even though it didn't, then eventually you will 'remember' it and believe it actually did happen.


how to find the whole and true story about bukit kepong and pasir salak...i mean where did it happen,when,who involved, how's the history began...any deal with anyone...i mean its very detail n complete..

Erm...if you want really detailed and true story...\nI suggest you to go back in time (laughs) but since so far we aren't capable of it yet, so your best shot is at archives(arkib) and going to the site and asking the locals is worth a shot and you can also try at the library but you can't actually get the full list of soldiers and people who are involved because that is like impossible even if you get the recruits names from that specific place but you must know that there are others like villagers that helped too...If you want every of their names...i think its not possible because they are villagers and their name are not recorded anywhere...\nAnd if you want the all that are involved, do you count the people that did petit jobs like maybe lke the person who cooked for the men before they fight...You see what i mean?\nAs for the dates, times, i am sure you can get from the national archives or national library...


is there a device or hardware that can upgrade my intel graphics 900 from acer laptop.so i can  play high graphic games?xpensive?

no, definitely not. you stuck with your intel graphics 900 because it's integrated on the mainboard.\nonly top notch laptops have the opportunity to upgrade the graphics card (i.e. some Alienware and the Dell XPS M1710).


I get this after swimming. I find shaking my head in a fast swooping movement sideways and downwards on the side with water in works. I usually twist my head slightly torwards my opposite shoulder as I reach the bottom. This can take from one to a number of attempts to get it out depending how far in it goes.Sometimes I find too if I tip my head sideways (again on the side with water in) and push the palm of my hand up and down fully across my ear this can sometimes suction it out!  \n\nWhether either of these are medically acceptable I have no idea but after over 25 years as a swimmer it works for me.  Just don't get me locked up for behaing madly!!!


I prefer getting answers from people who have it, have had it or know someone who had it. I've been on websites with facts-i havent been to the Dr. yet.-but i want some personalized facts...thanks guys!!!

I am a sex counselor who goes to schools teaching students about the risk of sex. From what is known right now gonorrhea   often has no early signs. This is especially true for women. Early signs may include: a yellow or whit discharge for the penis of vagina. pain or burning when urinating. Women may also have pain in the lower abdomen or bleeding between periods (this symptom may not be gonorrhea so, you should see a doctor.)


a friend of mine states that all of us has the right to do deliverance.

Many non-believers take an intellectual approach at refusing the Lord's Salvation. Their rationalization that salvation is for weak minded losers who can't handle their own problems and need a crutch is a dangerous thought contrary to the Word of God.\n\nRomans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.\n\nAn interesting part of this scripture is use of the words "every" knee and "every" tongue. The word "every" means weak minded losers and corporate presidents, academic geniuses, world leaders and mega-millionaires and anyone else drawing breath. The Word paints with a wide brush its picture of who shall give account of himself to God.\n\nWhen the Apostle Paul wrote this he was not making up a story. When he said "it is written", he was quoting God. Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.\n\nYou must understand "the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return," means what it says. He cannot and is not going to change his mind.\n\nNow that we have determined salvation is not for sissies, let's get to the good part.\n\nJohn 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me, draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.\n\nYou cannot be talked into making a decision for the Lord. Jesus said God will draw you. Take heed to your thoughts. Satan is pulling at you constantly with his deadly assertion that "there is not hurry. Enjoy yourself and worry about God later on." The evil one is very much involved in making sure you stay away from that Jesus stuff. \n\nJames 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.\n\nThe Lord, however, is a gentleman. He will gently nudge at your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to draw you in the right direction. It is important to yield to that that call before it is too late. When you do, good things will start to happen. Misery will turn to peace, joy will replace agony and the love of God will begin consuming your hurts.\n\nPhilippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. \n\nAccording to this scripture, there is no measure of the peace you will have. Even you will have trouble grasping it because God's peace is a peace beyond our understanding.\n\n1 Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:\n\nJust as you will be unable to understand the peace in your heart, there will be not words to describe the joy you have received. What a marvelous gift from the giver of all givers. Amazingly, it is all free. Your peace and joy was bought and paid for by Jesus Christ on a cross at Calvary.\n\nAnother reason people have refused the call of the Lord is because they think God is too loving and caring to send them to hell. They simply are missing the boat with that thinking. God never sent anyone to hell. People send themselves to hell by not accepting God's free gift of salvation.\n\nDeuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: \n\nThe bible clearly says we have a choice. By not accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior you are making a conscious decision to choose hell over heaven. God gives you the options and then suggests you take the "life" route. Imagine what it would be like trying to explain away that scripture when you are on the judgement seat.\n\nGod wants you just the way you are. He

For example, I know that there is a program that pays most if not all of a person's medical school tuition if they agree to practice in an underpriveliged area for a few years after medical school.  I am very interested in that.  There are also other programs that I have only heard about, that will offer grants, loans, and other assistance to medical students.  \n\nOne of my professors told me that there are numerous tuition assistance and scholarship programs available for med students that no one ever hears about.  I'm sure she's right. Although, details tend to be sketchy, and I hear that these programs don't exactly advertise much or get the word out.  You have to find them on your own.\n\nAny information would be much appreciated.  Thank you!

National Health Service Corps is what you heard about; however, they've had trouble with funding in recent years so investigate them fully.  \nAlso check with your school's FA and admissions offices as well as your undergrad premed adviser.


Is one better than the other.I currently go to british school but was thinking to change to american and take the IB.I will give 10pnts for the best answer

A levels american school to enter a university in America will give you a better chance of acceptance.  You also may need to take the S.A.T.  this is required of most of all High School students.  The rules may differ for those in the United Kingdom, that is a British school, but I do not believe their is a British School available in the United States, and perhaps that's why hardly anyone's ever heard of IB diplomas.  Around here we call them High School diplomas, but the IB diploma will help you enter Oxford, just not Yale.  Yale is an Ivy League College in the United States.  I'm not looking to get the ten points, but A levels that is American schooling will help you get a better chance of getting into a University.  I have two college degrees, so I know what I had to do to get accepted to a major Univeristy so I can earn these.  America is not just the best in the world when it comes to higher education, but it seems to be the only logical choice to make because other areas just aren't as accepting.  Then again, an IB diploma might only help you get acceptance to a British University.  But a High School A level diploma will actually get you to land your feet in a greater institution for higher education.


I know some of you think all the legal's should get sent back to mexico,i understand why you feel this way and everything,but look at where there coming from, there country is so bad, jobs there pay so little money that you couldnt survive on it, Some places, their houses are made of mud and straw..When students there reach 6th grade they have to pay for their education, Hospitals wont treat you unless you have the money ahead of time..Can you guys just think about it, would you like to live like that..and when they come over here there putting there life on the line, if people see them crossing over they can kill them,Would you like that? Alot come here to better there life, to work in jobs that most of you wouldnt do.I read about people stating that if you get rid of them, There would be more jobs. You really think that? Cause i dont, they work at jobs most wouldnt even think of doing,and about the warfare, now that i dont agree on, And about the flag.Butalltheretrying todo isbeheard

Its not Mexicans that people hate; its illegal immigrants, but so many illegal immigrants are from Mexico so uneducated people just don't make the distinction.


I want to buy a home. the terms is 5 years interset only and then repaying the loan for 30 years. Is this agood idea? what happens to the money taht i paid  on the interest only after the 5 years, if the home dont appreciat it?

while you might have some equity in the home based on home appreciation, you will have paid NOTHING towards the principal of the loan.  Five years can be a long time, but if you're careful and work the plan well this plan might work for you.\n\nPersonally, I prefer the fixed rate 30 yr mortgage.  After 5 years in my home, I have paid a bit on the principal, plus have built some equity in the home.  But, that's for me.\n\nTo answer the question about the interest.  Well, that's what you paid to the lender to service you with this loan.  In essence, it's gone -- all 5 years of it.\n\nBear in mind that such interest may be deductible from your income when you file your IRS return.  That might be a good thing.\n\nPlease go talk with some other bankers, financial experts, and accountants, and ASK, ASK, ASK.  They are used to it.

I'm looking to take up the martial arts but I'm not sure which I would like best. \n\nAlso, if anyone knows of an online directory of martial arts schools where I can find what is close to me, it would be helpful to post the web address. \n\nThanks.

Here's an answer I gave someone who asked about taking a martial art. Hope this helps!\n\nHere's what I would do:\n\n\n1. Get a sheet of paper and write down exactly what kinds of benefits you wish to obtain from studying karate/martial arts. It's a good idea to know exactly what you want to achieve.\n\n2. Go to www.smartpages.com and look up MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION in you city and state. It will tell you what martial arts are taught in your area and where the schools are located.\n\n3. Once you know what martial arts are offered in your area look up their definitions on the net. Note the similarities and differences between each. A good place to do that is www.wikipedia.com.\n\n4. Visit the schools in your area. Ask for a free class. Make sure you find a Master Instructor who is overseen by a larger governing body.For example: Many Tae Kwon Do schools belong to the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Verify your instructor's credentials.\n\n\nSome Martial Arts:\n\nTae Kwon Do and Karate will provide you with a great cardiovascular workout. They will also tone you. For the best results go to class around 4-5 days per week and at least 20-30 minutes a day at home to practice your moves.\nKoei Kan and Isshin Ryu are two good styles of karate. You can also look up Kenpo.\n\nKrav Maga, an Israeli style of self defense, is a superb physical workout. Around 4-5 days of Krav with transform your body. I've watched it happen. Fair warning! The workouts are intense! Take a look at Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough. She's doing Karv Maga.


It's a movie that was out in the 80's.  I saw it when i was little and i'm dying to know what it was but cant remember.  Heres what I do remember: theres a young girl in it who has some kind of talking stuffed animal that her mom accidentally puts in the clothes dryer that morning.  Then theres a scene when the family is eating breakfast.  she finds the doll in the dryer, then goes back to her room.  then i remember she can put her hand through her mirror. its like a magic mirror. she walks through it into another world. i dont remember what happens after that, but shes trying to get to a queens castle to get something from her.  some type of tree, or maybe cherries, in a glass container.  Thats all i can remember.  its not Labyrinth or through the looking glass, or secret garden, or never ending story.  Does anyone have any idea what it might be? I probably sound like a crazy person but i need to know!!

OH MY!! That is so crazy, I have been asking people this for YEARS, and it is funny the only part I remembered was them eating then her putting her hand in the mirror. WOW I am shocked someone out there is wondering something I am, does not happen much.  Well I will be looking forward to this answer

Here is the situation. I have worked my ass off and lost over 30 pounds in the last year and a half through diet and regular excercise. I settled at about 135 pounds, and was fine with that. I have recently upped my routine a bit to strength training 3 times a week on top of a bit of increase in my cardio. I consume about 2500 calories a day. I am gaining weight all of a sudden. I have put on 5 pounds, and none of my jeans fit anymore. They are all skin tight. What is going on?! How can I be gaining like this. It's enough to bring me to tears. Does anyone have any input or advice? Thanks!

I thought females should have a daily "doze" of 1800 calories....

A lot of atheists say a lot of things about relgion but many aren't even saying thigs that are correct. I have nothing against atheists but i ask that whichever relgion you want to bash please read their holy book. Then when you actually know what happens i, and i'm sure many others, would be perfectly willing to debate(in a civil manner) relgion(i am Catholic).\n\nPlease no hatred here

I'm concerned that you're mistaking criticism for "bashing." While a certain amount of over-the-top, nasty criticism (actual bashing) does happen here, it's not as ubiquitous as some people would have you believe. Also, the Internet is not exactly a place for the thin-skinned to comfortably hang out. People feel that anonymity gives them license to say things that they otherwise would not.\n\nThe fact is that there are plenty of atheists here who are more than happy to respectfully debate whatever you would like (myself included.) \n\nSo, anything you'd like to discuss, send me a message and I'd be happy to get back to you.

If you don't have a question concerning military life, why are you here?\nIf all you want to do is rant and rave about the administration, why are you here?\nIf all you want to do is bash our brave service members for giving their time, freedom, and maybe their life, why are you here?\n\nAND YES!!!  This is a question, in fact, it's several questions.  I would really like to know why you are wasting our time, as well as yours.

very honestly and very frankly.i want to see how ignorant ,ill informed,with very shallow knowlege in history,geography,poletics,current affairs,laws including international laws,are a great percentage of the answerers in this site.\ni was terrified by the level of those people,the undemocratic way they impose their opinions on others,the lack of rational thinking and logics.i try some times to give my opinion,so that i may help correcting incorrect informations.i feel very bad,some times furious when somebody insults a religion,or a race of humans,or when he/she makes the white black.\ni guss that lots of people here just want to get marks irreletive of the truth.i wish the answers are more matuer.\nwell.i am not wasting anybodys time,i am doing what you are doing,regarding my time,i have alot of it since i am a retiered old man who is still curious about how people are thinkig.i feel its a kind of education.\ni agree totally with you that questions here should be puerly military.insulting others is a reflection of an aggressive personality.


Jonathan went to a store, spent half of his money and then $8 more.  He went to a second store, spent half of his remaining money and then $8 more.  Given that he had $7 left, how many dollars did he have before he started shopping?

Assuming he had $x initially,\nHe spent half of it and $8 first. So he is left with (x/2)-8\nthen he spends half of what he had plus $8.\nThat makes it(((x/2)-8)/2)-8\nand this equals $7.\nSolving,x=$76

ever hear of the radio station 97.9 out of columbus ohio

WNCI, Columbus. \n\nTheir website is here: http://www.wnci.com/main.html


There had been results from DNA/Paternity Testing Sites that between the following:\n\nMen who are confident of the paternity of a child is 90% right. (1 out of 10 is not the father)\nMen who deny paternity of a child is correct 33% of the time. (1 out of 3 is not the father)\n\nDo you think it is the father's or potential father's best interest to know whether the child is potentially his?\n\nWhat are your viewpoint on this? And please explain.

lol . . . finally a great question . . . \n\nI read the article too . . . and it felt like it was written by a woman . . . the way she reference the Percentages as Only 10% or Only 33%.  Do you really need the word only . . . no you don't . . . it is the womens way minimizing an actually large number . . . odds are the numbers are probably higher . . . and they went with the lowest in the article. . . from a different group.  This article tries to downplay the problem of women accusing men falsely \n\nYou know . . . this is fraud on the basic level . . . and if paternity went uncontested after a certain time period then . . . and then it is discovered that the child is not his . . . even if it is genetically proven.  He is still stuck paying child support.  Fraud is a crime . . . yet the government support this felony.\n\nLook at the links . . . from my blog.\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1fu03lEleqEHvVmUM.5t9K4-?p=31\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1fu03lEleqEHvVmUM.5t9K4-?p=35\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1fu03lEleqEHvVmUM.5t9K4-?p=85\n\nThis is wrong as it is selfish . . . I also answered your question regarding what is the most selfish thing a person can do . . . \n\n- - - \n\nYes . . . paternity testing is expensive . . . but is covered by most insurance . . . it is also optional in most hospitals.  But the father is afraid to ask for it . . . so not to insult his wife or girlfriend.  If it becomes manditory . . . this type of testing will radically go down in price . . . because the demand is there.  The main reason why it is a little pricy . . . is because the demand is low . . . and the training cost is high.  The demand was higher . . . then they would be more busy . . . and utilizing their training more and the cost will go down.\n\nAlso . . . the DNA testing . . . should be done by the hospital too . . . not only to confirm parentage . . . but if god forbids something happens to the child and the child needs an organ . . . 98% . . . a compatible organ can be found in the biologically father and someone answered that 1 of 6 is not compatible (in the pregnancy section) . . . and those are people who believe they are the biological fathers. \n\nThing is the parents . . . don't even need to know about the test or the results . . . unless it is proven that the father is not the father.\n\nWomen will say it will be an invasion of privacy . . . those who say that have something to hide.  It is not something to feel insulted about . . . those who feel insulted have insulted the guy they were with because they hope that the man they want is the father.\n\nPlus . . . I don't care if we put Maury out of business . . . this needs to be resolved and quickly.


This lawyer is possibly guilty of "conflict of interest" in a divorce case. She, (the lawyer), is dragging her feet and is saying that she is going to need even more money to continue after I had told her that this case needs to be finalized and that I was running out of money due health problems resulting from this issue and job retirement money loss if the deadline of Feb.2007 is not met. She still has over $800. on my tab. I have already spent over $7500. and the case was filed Feb. 27, 2005. She possesses a document that was written in legal jargon -only signed by the spouse that the lawyer was enthusiastic about using until midstream of the case and I later found out that a member of the firm was a friend of the spouse. Who can I consult to solve this problem? All answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is what lawyers(pronounced liars) allways do.\n\nThey are all colluding double dealing theives working both of you for as much as they can. Yes your lawyer is working together with the opposing parties counsel to get your money. Worst of all the legal system supports their criminality so don't bother complaining you'll get nowhere, except maybe fleeced out of even more money.\n\nYour best bet would be to drop them, kiss all the money good-bye(your going to loose anyway) and go Pro per (do your own legal) this is your only real chance. But they know you won't do this so they'll end up extortting you for every penny you got.   \n\nConsider this a lesson learned, never hire a lawyer and if you do NEVER give them money in advance! NEVER!\n\nIf you should by chance have a back bone go to http://www.nolo.com for legal self help info and/or e-mail me i'm not a lawyer but i do deal with these matters successfully.


I have two finals tomorrow and I've hardly started studying. I think I'm screwed

yes, i think you're screwed too.  best advice i can give is study a lot for the final you think you'll do the worst on, get a few hours sleep and then study a little for the final you think will be easier.  good luck.


I thought I was going to go crazy.  I have heard of fast heart beats, but I could sustain a heart rate of 200 for over 2 hours until I finally got into the ER and got a drug called Adenocard to stop it which is terrifying in itself because your heart literally stops for a few seconds, then picks back up at a regular rate.  I had to sit and think about whether or not I was going to take the Adenocard, but there was no other way out of the irregular heart rate.  When the nurse pushed the drug in my IV, everyone stopped and watched the monitor.  It made me feel the experience of impending doom as the drug hit home. Its terrifying. \nFinally in October of last year, a electrophysicist, Dr.Moulton in Springfield diagnosed my heart disturbance and cured me with an ablation. No more Adenocard for me.  Thank you Lord. I just wondered if anyone has ever had A radiofrequency Ablation, and did it permanently stop the racing heart, or did it come back after a couple years? He says I am cured.

I certainly hope that it works for you. Unfortunately I have had patients who had to have ablation done 3-4 times to solve their problem. Even tonight in the er I had a patient who had ablation done yesterday and is still having his arrhytmia. Best wishes.


Have you read the book Entertaining Satan by John Putnam Demos?  In it he gives arguement that the Salem Witch Trials were more socially driven than religiously driven.  He states that since females in colonial society had no voice of their own they gave themselves a voice by being pursued by invisible forces caused by witches and witchcraft.  This gave the females in Salem attention they otherwise were not getting.  Religion, then picked up the ball and put the accused to trail.  The hysteria only really died down when the wife of the Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony was accused and the Governor put his foot down.  Do you agree or disagree with this author's assessment?  Why or why not?

Yes, I do.  But the accusers were not only female; they were young.  Youth of either sex had no voice in Puritan society.  The young girls revelled in their notoriety for awhile, until they went too far and began to accuse the powerful.


i am the only christian in school who believes in it.

Sadly,sadly,sadly, today, people dont take seriously God or His Word... \n\nGod is truly perfect and beautiful and righteous and amazing ahd wonderful and He designed sex to be a beautiful thing between a man and woman...\n\nToday, it has been so treaded upon and so twisted and contorted by media, man, and sin, that sex is really just lust.\n\nYes, God really holds to His truth in the fact that there are consequences when we ignore God's holiness, beauty, wonder and after a while [ He does have so much patience it is BAFFLING] , BUT , after a while, HE will pour out His wrath - - Which shows how Perfect He is, and how Un-Perfect we are... \n\nLong answer, but it needed it,\n\nWanting to give God glory in all situations!\nLauren


There are 8-12 year olds that can always emotionally comfort their parents, share feelings and tears with their parents and on the other hand, some adult children who are 20-25 year olds that can never and never did emotionally comfort their parents. Why?? Are these adult children stupid or what?

Isn't it the parents job to emotionally comfort their child?


My husband will be having surgery to close a PFO (patent foramen ovale) and I'm looking for some personal expereinces or observations about the procedure, recovery, and follow-up.  Any help appreciated!

My sister actually had a PFO surgery last summer and it took a little bit (a couple of months) to feel back to normal and now she is doing great from it. Make sure to do check ups after a couple of weeks, then 2 months, and then 6 months. Check ups are really important. Good luck with everything!


especially after last night's performances

I am still in shock... tonight's vote was just paln wrong. Catherine should have went home...
