Suppose that an investor has the opportunity to invest in a stock currently selling for $100 per share. The stock is expected to pay a $5 dividend next year (at the end of year one). In each subsequent year until the third year, the annual dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 15%. Starting in the fourth year, the annual dividend will grow at an annual rate of 6% until the sixth year. Starting in the seventh year, dividends will not grow. All cash flows are to be discounted at an annual rate of 8%. Should the stock be purchased at its current price?\n\nI did it and got about $93 but am not sure. Help please!

OK, so the annual dividends are:\n\nTime 1   $5\n     2   $5×1.15\n     3   $5×1.15²\n     4   $5×1.15²×1.06\n     5   $5×1.15²×1.06²\n     6   $5×1.15²×1.06³\n     7   $5×1.15²×1.06³\n     etc\n\nDiscounting the first 5 payments:\n\n\n5v + 5×1.15v² + 5×1.15²v³ + 5×1.15²×1.06v^4 + 5×1.15²×1.06²v^5\n\n= 4.6296 + 4.9297 + 5.2492 + 5.1520 + 5.0566\n\n= 25.0172\n\nNow the PV of teh remaining payments is:\n\n 5×1.15²×1.06³( v^6 + v^7 + ...)\n=5×1.15²×1.06³v^6 (1 + v + v² + ...)\n\nInside the brackets is an infinite geometric series with first term a = 1 and common ratio r = v.  Using the sum to infinity formula, a/(1-r), we get:\n\n1/(1 - v) = 13.5\n\nMultiplying this by the  5×1.15²×1.06³v^6 bit is:\n\n13.5 × 4.9630 = 67.000\n\nHence the total PV is:\n\n67.000 + 25.017 = 92.017\n\nSince the share value should be the PV, we get $92.02\n\nHope this helps!


It's quite sad and disturbing how many of you are saying "sex" or saying there is no God. You all think you are so cute and funny and young or something. You're neither. You're ignorant and tragically misguided. One day, you will see the errors of your ways and I hope it isn't too late. Please know that no one will think you're cool, cute, adorable, sexy, or worth anyting in hell. No matter how bad or famous you are on Earth, you will be a nobody in hell.


Their family backgrounds are like poles apart. My parents would be shocked and might object , and she might be in trouble if he left her in the lurch.\nBut she feels they are really compatible.

There is not much you can do. she is in love with the man and she is an adult so your parents unfortunately don't have much to say and should  support her in whatever choice it is that she chooses to make\n\nYour sister evidentally sees something in him that you cannot see and that is what counts. YOUR SISTER is the one that is marrying the guy and she knows him better than anyone else does. She is following her own heart and that is what counts\n\nLove your sister and support her. \nLet her make her own choice and if it is a bad choice and she gets hurt, then show her support and do what you can to comfort her. \n\nFor now, let her make her own choice.


i have a best friend of 2 years.  we hang out all the time and talk on the phone for hours at a time.  he used to like me, and i had just gotten out of a 4year relationship, so i was scared.  i told him i didnt like him like that even though i sort of did.  we still hang out and talk all the time.  then i did fall for him and told him...he played me just like i played him, lol.  there is definitely a strong connection between us and we take great care of each other.  his best friends are forever telling me how in love with me he is and his mom even asks about me too.  i am 23 and he is a few years older, so these are not high school games we are playing.  i know i wont ever do anything to ruin our friendship, i just want to know if it sounds like we should go to the next level-p.s.  i am going to his place tonight to hang with him and a few other ppl

Sounds like it could work! Anytime his MOM asks about you, you gotta realize he must like you enough to talk about you at home.


Brazil defeated the USSR 2-1 in Sevilla. The winning goal was scored by Eder.\n\nAnd -- you should not confuse Russia with the (ex-)USSR. It's the same kind of mistake as confusing England with Great Britain.


I just got fired from doing a fairly shitty job of a paper due to a professor.\nbecause the paper was for work and I spent all my time on it, I didnt get to do a paper for an english class.\nI have had to drop two classes, spanish because i was so worn out from all my classes ( I was taking 16 credits) and math because I had an F average.\nso now I take 8 credits ( two classes) and my english paper was so bad and under quality that she has had to sit me down and work with me separetly.\nI'm a college freshman and I feel terrible now. I have lost alot of confidence and never met my academic goals that I sent senior year in HS.\nI have to take a summer class ( maybe two!) so that I can be a sophomore officially. \nI cant get myself to work, i feel so lost. I cant even read a book due. I feel like im in a pit I cant escape. I know that if I get A's in the two classes that I will get a good GPA but I feel like an utter failure. I pissed of two teachers and am fired. I feel stupid. HELP!!

wow, you have some issues there.. why dont you take a nice hot bath with lavender( its calming) then, when you get out write a list of things you need to work on. and goals. i write lists for everything and it helps a lot.  take things one step at a time and dont overwhelm yourself. Good Luck!


Me and my guy friend are good friends he talks to me on the phone like 30-60 minuites a day for like 4-5 months. hes liked me for a long time, i just started liking him back a few weeks ago, and he knows it, he got all excited and told a mutual friend that i finally liked him back. All that work on his part and he didn't even ask me out, hes not the shy type. he is going to prom with TWO upperclassmen,i think they couldn't get dates and they asked him. (he couldn't go with me we are both sophomores) He told me "i am going to look really tall and really skinny in that suit" He doesn't usually talk like hes trying to make himself look good, at least not that obvoiusly. I pretended to be excited for him. Did he want me to be mad? i was. I think he might be jealous of me, i have a lot guyfriends but i have never dated anyone. I never try to make him jealous. should i just forget him? I will not try to make him jealous thats cruel. whats he doing and why? how can i get him to stop?

The best way to deal with guys who play games is to toss him a deck of cards on your way out the door while waving byeeeeeeeee :)


In the age group of 28-36 mainly I'm thinking about.

At last by Etta James.... great for slow dancing in the bedroom... when you just wanna hold each other close.\n\nBump & Grind by R. Kelly  or \nSexual Healing by Marvin Gaye.... \nfirst of all the titles alone should tell you a lot but they are great for creating sexual sparks between you both.\n\nJust the way you look tonight...by tony bennet... great way to let her know that you think she is beautiful.\n\nI'll make love to you by boyz2Men.... their great voices are enough to melt any woman.\n\nGod must have spent a little more time on you by Nsync... lets her know how special she is to you.\n\nNever had a dream come true by S club 7... great for letting her know how you feel.\n\nAngel by shaggy... for a more modern love song\n\nI guess it all depends on what you are looking forI hope i have given you a good variety... \nHonestly...Just let her know you care and any song will do then... What woman doesn't want to hear how much a guy is into her...\n\nHope that helps:-)


I saw it from the famous CSI tv series.. \nThe CSI will spill the chemical to a cotton bud and swap it to where they want to test for blood presence. If there a blood, the cotton bud will turn co pink color..\n\nWhere can we get the chemical?


I am a photographer from Argentina. I can produce almost any content and I have my own models here. What I need is a very good webmaster to make this work.

First you need to get a good ISP that allows adult content and can handle the banwidth. After that, I'm sure there's plenty of webmasters willing to create and maintain your site...


ME and my girl friend have been dating 2 yrs.  I am 20, she is 19.  I have 1.5 years left of college, she has 3 years left.  Together we have saved $20K. When should we marry?

well,\nwhenever you feel the time is right. When ever you both sit down and feel like you are ready. You will both know when the time is right. Trust me in that i had the same predicament and when my now fiance and i knew the time was right we got engaged and then now are planning our marriage. Good luck


I have recently recieved an assignment on 'Where To Build A Factory' I have the choices of Central or S. America, Europe, Asia or Africa. I still have not decided where. Any suggestions where to build a factory? And if you know any websites that may help please let me know. Thanks! \n\nBTW- This is any kind of factory. NOTHING IMPARTICULAR. Please generalize.

Do it in VIETNAM, cheap labor, and equipment. cheap resources. and plus the education is really starting to improve so the country is starting to turn out some really low cost engineers. plus heck, how can you go wrong with a country that values the "dong".


Im from India and wanted to know if im eligible to any.

Check out university websites. Search for Australian Universities. Try Sydney Uni, UNSW, Macquarie Uni, UWS, UTS, Uni of Melbourne, ACU for starters. Also search for australian colleges or TAFE.


Jodie has to fix Data, he has to program him,he has to give him new technology updates such as his emotion chips,and 75% of Data's knowledge comes from Jodie. So Data should not out rank Jodie,because Data can't rebuild Jodie, but Jodie CAN rebuild and program Data! So Data's knowledge can't be more than Jodie's knowledge because Jodie programs him!! Plus on the original Star trek the engineer Scotty was 3rd in command after the captain and first officer!  Also,why do they sometimes send Data to the medical human doctor Crusher,who is not a cibernetisist. Data goes to the engineer to be fixed by Jodie,not the medical doctor for humans!

Geordi fixes Data just as Dr Crusher would fix Captain Picard - but she doesn't outrank him.\n\nAs to why Dr Crusher sometimes fixes Data, she probably has some very fine sensor equipment for scanning humans, more sensative than engineerings sensors for scanning machinery. However I think in recent films they've had Dr Crusher fix Data simply to give her a greater role in the films.


can anyone tell me what is the word computer mean?

I'm working in Harveys for $7.50 right now. and i know it's under the minimum rate. I can complain to the Head Office too. So what is the minimum rate in Canada right now, and what should i do to get it?

I just wanted to let you know the Minimum Wage in Mexico is $5.15 USD PER DAY and if you don't want your job there are hundreds of mexicans flying to Canada every day willing to work for less money.\n\nIf you want to make more money I suggest you to go to College after work.\n\nThat way you will not be in any Danger from losing your work to Mexicans and you will make at least $75 per hour.

A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks out into a house to look for money and a gun and finds a young couple in the bed. \n\nHe orders the guy out of the bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband tells his wife: \n\n"Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you." \n\nTo which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong, honey. I love you too!!"


i just love asking these fistfight questions. i love when people give well reasoned and insightful answers to a stupid question. it cracks me up!!

ha ha, but no they probably would not fight....since jesus says to turn the other cheek....but if they did fight....jesus would have him hands down with his powers.


am i the only person in the world who hates her and thought hewr comedy was stupid and lame?

Well, since the show was filmed 50 years ago and it is still on TV many times per day,all over the world, I would assume that you are a member of a tiny majority.\nMaybe one day you will realize what you are missing.\nI used to hate M*A*S*H. I mean, the second I heard that intro music, I flipped the channel, like a reflex.\n\nI couldn't figure out, for the life of me, why in hell people watched that annoying show. Then, five years ago, as I was flipping through the channels, I saw John Ritter, On M*A*S*H. I watched for a few minutes and I was hooked. Now I LOVE it.\n  Maybe one day you will figure out why people love Lucy. Life is crazy.


What is the fastest Thing Humans have ever made? such as car or plane or rocket ...please give the speed at which it can go on...

NASA is scheduled to launch New Horizons, a plutonium-powered probe that will go up to 47,000 miles per hour during a 10-year journey to capture the first up-close images of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. The probe will go so fast, it will get to the moon in just nine hours, a journey that took Apollo 11 three days to make in 1969


I believe pineal is a region of the brain so I am wanting to know where that is in the brain and what does that part of the brain control???

It is located deep in the central part of the brain in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland (which lies behind the root of the nose and directly behind the eyes).\n\nWhat it does is this: it is activated by light and it controls the various biorhythms of the body. It works in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland (which regulates thirstiness, hunger, sexual desire, and your "biological clock")\n\nJust FYI, if you have a pineal cyst, it is 90% benign (non - cancerous). Hope this helped.


I just dont think we deserved silent treatment when we dont know it...

That depends... if the students hadn't done their homework or weren't paying attention and this is why they didnt know it, then the teacher might easily become upset.

Spouse has bi-polar illness and severe kidney disease.  Has started showing signs of overspending.  Is willing to sign what is needed in order to protect joint assets from himself.

See an attorney to get guardianship of an adult or get power of attorney.  Neither will actually stop his spending if he still has access to the accounts.  Both only give you the power to make decisions for your husband.  You can close any joint accounts and open one in your name only.  If he still receives an income, you will want to make sure they are direct deposited directly into the new account.  You can make a separate account for you and then also, once you have been made guardian over your husband, can open account for his income/bills, etc... titled Your Name as Guardian for Your husband's name.


I have 2.5 years Office Management experience in a small Chiropractic Clininc that is actually my brother-in-law's practice.  I would never tell the companies that I apply to that he is my brother-in-law.  I am a genius (131 IQ) and can learn any industry, and in 2.5 years I have mastered the Chiropractic insurance industry.  I actually know everything that anyone can know without actually treating the patiens (I even give Chiropractic adjustments to my doctor).  Point is, I can be valuable in any industry, but in 4 months I cannot find an office management or executive assistant (WHAT I REALLY WANT) job in Manhattan, NY.  I had my resume professionally done 3 weeks ago.  I am pulling my hair out.  I feel worthless and that I got the wrong degree.  Should I just kill myself??

Are you trying to get into a particular field, is that why you don't want to go further in the Engineering field?\n\nAnyway it seems like you have some experience in the field. Getting established in a new place sometimes takes a lot of time. I've been an Executive Assistant and it can help to have contacts. To do that why not temp. Get with a good agency that pays appropriately for someone with your skills (DO NOT let them short change you)  --- Also try posting your resume (sans address) on Craigslist, it can actually be useful. If you have any specific questions, drop me an email via Yahoo, I might be able to give you some leads to different companies both agencies and standard companies.


Someone I know was just diagnosed with terminal cancer. Some friends want to do something for her. We are not sure what to get.

At this state &  stage of her life, I think what to 'do' is more important than what to 'get'.  Give her your TIME.\n\nIf she hasn't gone for a 2nd or 3rd medical opinion, I will encourage her to do so.  There are enough cases of wrong diagnosis; and enough unethical medical practices have been exposed - profit and money driven!  So the importance of 2nd/3rd party medical opinions.\n\nHelp her keep optimistic about it all and support her with the will to live and not to just surrender and let go.  A strong will to live sometimes can turn the body around to fight some illnesses.  I am a strong believer of not giving up too soon.  I know it is easier said than done, but do help her stay positive.\n\nWhen two or more opinions point to the sad diagnosis as positive, then try to help her to accept it calmly.  Then put an urgent strategic plan in place to optimise as much of whatever time that's left on her side.\n\nTIME.  Yes, give her your time.  Your unwaivering support.  At this stage in her life, I guess materialistic things don't matter much anymore.  If she is strong enough to still take a holiday, encourage her to go.  If she hasn't got the funds, put the hat around and collect some money to visit a place of her dream if it is still affordable.\n\nBut sometimes a lot of things can be had without the need of money.  Give her your love.  Your trust.  Your whole self.  Most of all give her reassurance.  Tell her you will be there for her now, tomorrow, and after she's gone to the heavenly realms.  Say your sorrys if there was any hurt.\n\nIf she is a Christian and you're a Christian comfort her and remind her this is only the beginning of another life without pain and sorrow.\n\nLet her feel that she will always be a part of your lives even though she may be gone. Her presence will always be felt.  Her spirit and her laughters will always be alive.\n\nFind out her favourite tree/plant.  Go out buy that young plant.  Take her out to the garden, help her plant it in her favourite spot in her garden or even your garden in memory of her. Take a few photos of it.\n\nOur lives will someday all end in a memory.  Most importantly it is the memories of how we lived it and how we helped others lived it.\n\nA lady friend gave my neighbour - Ana, a cutting of her mature plant 2 days before she passed away from heart attack. Thirteen years ago today, it has bloomed into a shady tree.  Ana sits under that tree all the time and think of her lady friend, gone but still 'there' to shade her from the hot sun.\n\nLet us all live today as if it was our last.  \n\nTake care!


I am a virgin and not planning to not be one very soon, but just wanted to know becuase alot of girls and boys are losing it at an early age... Which I think is wrong, so BE HONEST of the age you lost yours!

I lost my virginity at the young age of 14...If I had the choice, I would take it back...There's no REAL love in just sex...& yes, I agree w/ you, losing a virginity at a young age is wrong...So I have to say, that, whatever I say or anybody else here, won't matter to you if you want to do what you want right?? Here's my opinion, if I were you, I would wait until you're married...I didn't & I wish I would have waited for my husband...I took that away from not only me, but my husband too..


She is an house wife and started to use compression stockings from hip level.

No permanent cure.  Surgery removes the vein that you see and usually the one behind it (which is actually the bad one).  I had one leg done and I am very happy.  They only had to remove 3 veins.  sshe probably has too many veins involved and it would be dangerous for her should she need any heart surgery in the future.  (they take those veins from her leg).  \nIf the varicosity is small I don't understand why surgery is not recommended.  There is also laser surgery.  If varicose veins are hereditary and/or if she is on her feet all day in the wrong shoes, removal will only be temporary.  Mine are hereditary and I am on my feet all day (in sneakers) and I expect that at some point I will have more.  So far so good.  It's been 4 years.  And no sign of them yet and my legs feel (and look) great.


I have these pink/orange-ish spots on the center of my chest. I noticed them one summer, and they don't go away. I get them on my upper back sometimes too, but the ones on my chest are always there. Does anyone know what it is and what i can do to get rid of them before prom?

I would say: see a doctor. however. I have had this before. and the doctor said its a bacteria caused by wearing new or long-time stored clothes because you have sensitive skin it's not dangerous and it  will go away eventually however he gave me some kind of cream to put on the spots it will get rid of them faster. and he also told me to wash every thing I buy from the stores b4 wearing it. \nif you have insurance. see the doctor


i want to homeschool my child and would like a good program

If you are looking for a complete curriculum, I have heard a lot of people like Abeka - a Christian programs that covers all the basic subjects, I think (though I have never used it myself).  I would highly recommend the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education," by Oliver DeMille.  You can guy it a gwc.edu in the bookstore section.  Check out hslda.org for info on home school groups in your state and info on home schooling in general.  One more piece of advice, don't get too much into the "school" mentality (my child has to do this, this and this at this, etc.).  Be flexible - that is one of the beauties on home schooling.  If your child doesn't like the curriculum you have, find something different - there are TONS of options out there.  Good luck!


what are the signs of a girl likeing a guy and what do u girls look for in a guy

Americans have no well paying jobs in many areas of the country. WE buy everything from a communist country, CHINA. We are not as free as we once were and we have an Idiot for Predident. Can it get BETTER> I doubt it. For 7 Years it has been sliding dowhill. Who can stop it. I hate to be a Pessimist  but???????????????

Times change my dear. I've traveled the world quiet a bit, including the Middle East. I saw poverty in a lot of places like you would not believe unless you see it with your own eyes!! We have problems in our country like any place but you still can't beat it! If you live in America, kiss the ground and be thankful.


i really love to play soccer but being a freshmen at a school where soccer is not very accepted, it is hard to be noticed by colleges and other teams.  Anyone have any tips to help me out as in getting better, so i can be noticed by scouts?

I also came from a similar situation.  I grew up in a small town in Colorado and the prospect of any college looking at me was minimum to none.  There are ways around this though.  I was able to get recognition as a player when I went abroad as an exchange student to Germany.  In Germany, soccer/fussball is king to all other sports and I was able to enhance my playing capabilities by playing with a team in Germany.\nYou may not have this opportunity to travel abroad, but in the US there is a large population of hispanic men and woman that play soccer as their primary means of recreation.  If you can start playing pickup games against these weekend clubs or teams your skills will enhance dramatically.  It isn't that American based teams won't offer you the best experience, but the hispanic teams seem to offer a greater skill base.  Most of them grew up where soccer was the king sport and so they are all pretty good at it.\nYou are a Freshman, so you have ample time to hone your skills of the game.  Just get out there, find a team that will challenge your current abilities and those of your current team members on the high school league.  If you keep playing with the same people all the time, you will never truly get better as you will grow accustomed to their abilities and stop growing.\nAs far as getting picked up by a college, you can always walk on for try outs, especially on a soccer team.  Soccer teams rarely recruit players unless they have a lot of recruiting money.  Colleges tend to spend the majority of their cash on football and basketball players.  Most players who will be playing on a soccer team for a college have also walked on for their positions as well. \nBest of luck!\nMatty Gray


Actually, an MBA may not be the best person to answer this it may take a Creative Accounting specialist like some of the Enron or MCI guys.\n\nTo explain their all time record profits, the oil company apologists keep talking about the higher priced crude pushing the price of gasoline and heating oil up.  How can higher raw material prices possibly INCREASE profit??\n\nI have worked in manufacturing for almost 30 years and I have NEVER seen a business show in some quarters over 100% increased profit from higher raw material prices.\n\nThe only way I see it possible is to push the margin up (screw the consumer by grossly over adjusting the retail price).\n\nI don't claim to be a financial expert so... is there another explaination?

I feel like I've explained this so many times.\n\nHere are the very basics: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AsWuQtNGN4MOLLzL5ebfcGsjzKIX?qid=1006042124751\n\nIf your costs go up and you always pass on a 10% markup, of course nominal profits are going to go up.\n\nI assume you're familiar with net margins.\n\nEveryone likes to use Exxon as an example while making up random numbers to support their arguments again Exxon, so I'll use that also.\n\nI have no idea how you came up with 100% increased profit.\n\nThe quarterly data is here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=XOM\n\nThe yearly data is here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=XOM&annual\n\nExxon typically floats around 5-10% on their margins if you look back at all the old annual reports for the last 20 years.\n\nThe breakdown for the price is here: http://money.howstuffworks.com/gas-price.htm\n\nThis is a bit outdated even though there's the explanation.  A more up-to-date picture is here: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/gdu/gasdiesel.asp\n\nThey're grossly adjusting that last 4%, eh?\n\nEdit: People *love* that 400M golden parachute.  Go back to their income statement above.  Off 370B in sales, 400M is less than .1%.  .1% of your gas price of around 3 dollars is 3/10th of a cent.  His pay is irrelevant to a high volume company like Exxon, but obviously a lot higher than we make, so we complain.\n\nNothing against you, really.  It's just that most people on the Internet tend to look at one side of things without actually taking the time to do a few simple calculations.  It's getting tiring, and honestly, I don't really care if people hate corporations or whatever.  Emotions aren't strictly rational.\n\nMost of what I see on the Internet is so-called "propoganda" for one side or the other.  Just see the Politics section of Answers.  It's dissolved into a bunch of name calling really. *End of my rant* :)\n\nYou're still free to hate on Exxon for that last 10%, but people get the idea that Exxon could charge $1.50 for gas if they wanted to and that's really not the case.  If there was a price ceiling there, Exxon could make more money just selling the raw crude oil on the futures market.  And none of us would have gas.


Yes...and strangely they all look alike.\n\nBut yeah, the song rocks.


I wear a D cup bra, and a size 13 pants.I am 5ft2 and 170 pounds, but my stomach is not that big. I want to slim down mostly my arms, thighs, and define my abs; but not to lose my bra size or butt.

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what's best for you. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.


I have been thinking about getting Rusch as a fantasy pitcher, I know he has always started slow and pretty bad, but I am wondering if I should get him? I mean he did come on somewhat strong late last year.\n\nwhat are the thoughts of the masses?

As a die-hard Met fan, I was sad to see Glendon Rusch go.  He has spurts of talent.  He has good location, but not the greatest speed on his pitches.  I would much rather have a discipline pitcher like Rusch, over a highly talented but immature player like Daniel Cabrera.

It is not legal in the USA to do that.\nI am not sure about India but there is a very severe penalty if you do that unless you wrote the books yourself. You can go to jail for that here. It is called copyright violation.


nope ..its perfectly legal and very lucrative.\n\nmake sure your heathens have total obedience.\nnothing is taken for granted.\nbe ready to meet your maker at any time.\nand always...always accept credit cards.


How do you know if you are downloading legal music? Is there a phone number or website that you can check. I see a lot of people posted that limewire.com is free music downloading. Is it legal because I do not want to even want to try if it is not. There are plenty of sites where you can pay a dollar but if there are safe/legal free ones how do you know?

pretty much anything p2p is going to be illegal.  iTunes and Rhapsody and Napster and stuff like that are the legal ones.  if you're not paying then it's probably not legal

Straight out of college and relocating to NC.   Annual salary in the $60's.\n\nMy credit has issues from some time ago (about $2K), along with open tax debt to the IRS (<$1K) though I have no credit cards or associated debt or school loans.  \n\nHow do you determine housing price ranges?  \n\nHow do you overcome "not-so-great" credit?  \n\nWhat about "buying" points?

Your debt to income and the loan amount vs. the interest rate determines what you can afford.  Basic projection is your total monthly debt payment cannot exceed more than 50% of your gross monthly income.\nYou do not need to worry about the time on the job issue as long as you are employed in a related field to what you studied in college.  The contract for your new employment will suffice.\nDepending on your credit and how bad it actually is will also determine what LTV (loan to value) you qualify for.  You can expect to pay off any outstanding judgement you have, but your other collections more than 24 months old can be ignored with many lenders.\nThere are literally thousands of loan programs you probably qualify for and speaking to a Loan officer and having them reveiw your credit is the best initial step to take.

what are they actually fighting for? first person to give a decent answer gets the points

To get this straight you need to disregard the Jewish version of history that has bombarded us for years. They portray themselves as innocent victims of Arab hostility and terror, when the truth is more nearly the exact opposite. In the early 1900s there were very few Jews in the area of Canaan, or Palestine, with perhaps 100 orthodox Jewish rabbis in Jerusalem and scattered numbers of Jews elsewhere in the region.  But to go to the very beginning one must look to Russia in the early 1880s during the time of the Pogroms in which mobs attacked Jews and Jewish businesses.  Out of all this persecution was born the idea of a return to the Jewish homeland, personified in the writings of Theodor Herzl and others.  Eventually came the Balfour Declaration out of England, which finally sponsored the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine (places like Ethiopia and Argentina had been considered by the British as possible sites for a new Jewish homeland).  Through the 1920s waves of Jewish immigrants began flocking to the region, and at some point the new arrivals, who initially began buying land from the indigenous Arabs, abandoned that practice and began resorting to outright theft. By the end of the Second World War the seeds of the conflict had been sown.  In the year 1948 alone, Zionists destroyed well over 400 Arab villages, driving away or killing the inhabitants and creating the first groups of Arab refugees.  This taking of Arab land and the massacres that took place was an act of genocide by the Jews directed against the Arab population, yet it is something that Jewish historians seem to have forgotten.  But it was this taking of land and the massacres of entire Arab villages by the Zionists that is the real basis for the conflict in the Middle East.  The Jews, who seem to have wiped their collective memory clean, claim to be themselves innocent victims of Arab attacks.  So today, when you see a suicide bomber blowing up in a Jewish city, it is a revenge for Jewish atrocities from 60 or 70 years ago, and NOT an unprovoked attack as the Jews claim.\n\nI have a complete list of the Arab towns and villages destroyed by the Jews in 1948, and it makes pretty harrowing reading.  These Jews are no innocent people.

I have been suffering from bacterial vaginosis for 5 years. help!!!!!!!

Treatment for bacterial vaginosis consists of antibiotics. A few antibiotics are routinely used. Metronidazole taken by either oral (pill) form or by vaginal metronidazole gel is an effective treatment. Also available is the vaginal clindamycin cream. The oral metronidazole can cause some minor but unpleasant side effects, but is believed to be the most effective treatment. Metronidazole is not used in early pregnancy because of potential adverse effects on the babies. Metronidazole is not used by nursing mothers because of potential adverse effects on the babies. The gels do not typically cause side effects, although yeast vaginitis can result. Although treatment is generally successful, about 15% of women experience recurrent symptoms within a month. With recurrent symptoms, a second course of antibiotics is generally prescribed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBacterial vaginosis is an abnormal vaginal condition that is characterized by vaginal discharge and results from an overgrowth of normal bacteria in the vagina. \nBacterial vaginosis is not passed by sex and is not dangerous, but it can cause disturbing symptoms. \nSymptoms of bacterial vaginosis are vaginal discharge and odor. \nIn diagnosing bacterial vaginosis, it is important to exclude other serious infections, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. \nTreatment options for bacterial vaginosis include oral antibiotics and vaginal gels. \nMajor serious complications of bacterial vaginosis can occur during pregnancy.


I have sebhorreic dermatitis in the crease of my nose..I had it in 5th grade when my dermatologist gave me Ultravate to put on it..Well turns out the ultravate was to strong for my skin, and cause my ENTIRE nose to be red, and butterflys out to my cheeks.  Some days it's barely pink and others its scaly and nasty; but it's always constantly oily too.  I have many blackheads, but I can't pop them because my nose will flare up it's so sensitive.  I've been to 5 different derms, had different aster procedures, but no matter how many derms I goto they are just dicks and look at my nose for about 5 seconds before giving me another medicine, not to mention the all diagnos different problems.\n\nCould anyone out there help me..tell me what's wrong with my nose or how to get rid of it..thanks.

I'm not really sure that the diagnosis is correct. I would check with others doctors. I thought about SLE (Lupus). If it really was Dermatitis, a 1% hydrocortisone cream applied two or three times a day should be enough.

Don't get me wrong, Bush sucks, but I think people are overrating how great Clinton was.  He also had the chance to take out the Taliban way back in '97 & '98, but did nothing.

Yeah, Clinton was an idiot. He received intelligence which hinted at plans for the 9/11 attacks, but did nothing. If Clinton wasn't busy having affairs and lying to American people during his presidency, our current situation may have been alot different.


We lived together for 2 years then had a break and now we feeling the same feelings but stronger and we relating to each other better and he is the old man of the relationship who goes to bed early and listens to 80s music (which I hate).  Despite all my uni studies he also earns more than me.

Sometimes it's true that women's maturity level progresses faster than younger men's. In your case you might be feeling a bit uncertain because that statement does not apply to you. \nRemember: Age is only a number. So is salary.\n\nIf you can love him no matter what and want to work things out with him, no matter what, then he is the one for you.\n\nEveryone has differences in taste, his is 80's music and an early bed time.. so what? At least he isn't a drug addict and abuser. Take it for what it's worth... if he treats you well, is financially stable and willing to work on your relationship, you've got a winner!\n\nGood luck, and look out for yourself--


DAMN! If I could change the face of my avatar depending on mood, mine would have a PI$$ED OFF face for this question!!!

ok i got a ticket for trespassing in clifton, nj and have to go to clifton municipal court for a first appearance to plead either guilty or not guilty. I want to know if i will be able to talk to the judge or prosecutor on that day before i enter a plea. I want to know if there is a way to make sure this doesn't get on my record and want to ask them in person.

Yes you can.\nIf your record is currently clean they may be talked into a fine and a dismissal of misdemeanor charges and a reduction to a civil infraction. But that is no guarantee.\nHope this helps.


How do you guys & gals think about owning or keeping things an ex gave or bought you? Is it bad? What are okay things to keep & what are the not okay things to hold onto?\n\nThe reason I ask is because an ex-boyfriend bought me this goregeous ring while we were dating. When we parted ways he told me to keep it. So I got it resized so it fits on my middle finger. Is it okay for me to still wear it or is this looked down upon? The ring doesn't remind me of the ex, so I don't see a problem with it. What do you think & should I tell people where I got it from if they ask?

I think it would be OK to keep even if it did remind you of your Ex... no matter how good or bad the relationship ended the consideration of you keeping something or not means to me that that "thing" reminds you of a good time. I think even bad relationships have good moments. I am divorced and I still have a few things that remind me of the good times with my ex.

This is a question thats been swarming around my head. Is the power house like the United States and Europe; cheating out third world countries. Taking advantage of them because they don't have the knowledge in economics like they do? 3rd world countries are rich places, fill with resources. They sell there commodities to richer countries, yet there own people never see those resource.

The main reason third world governments are in trouble is because of their leadership and mentality, not the economic situation. Unfortunately, not everybody has the right priorities. In many third-world countries, you'll see a lot of bad infrastructure, garbage, stray dogs and poor law enforcement, but then see a fair number of people in luxury cars and expensive clothes. I hear in Mexico, the Spanish elite do not want to relinquish their power by spreading their wealth. In Africa, many of the leaders there are total crooks who are all for themselves. \n\nDon't kid yourself, the leaders of many third-world countries send their children to elite Western boarding schools in Europe and the United States, and are themselves graduates of such. They go on to excellent Western universities to study such things as BUSINESS and ECONOMICS, or engineering, so on and so foth. So, they're not being cheated because they're stupid, but they may not have anything to bargain with.

I know a very obeased person. and he won't diet. He will die soon. ho needs help what should he do. ( besides the dieting)

Probably should try to get some exercise (how big is he?) ALSO and MOST IMPORTANTLY.... he should seek MEDICAL ADVISE.\n\nMany time obesity is NOT from overeating but from a medical condition.\n\nHe could also try to get on "Biggest Loser" Have you seen how much some of those people have lost?  Maybe his fear is not of the dieting itself, but of the failures he has experienced with dieting.

or lets a homosexual kiss or touch him, but will have sex with them where he just penetrates them and gets oral. He has a girlfriend, and lives a normal heterosexual lifestyle? What is this classification, I dont consider him gay, or bisexual. In order for him to be gay, he would have to only like and be a top and bottom homosexual right? in order to be bi he would have to admire the mens body and kiss and touch right?

you either do screw other men or you do not.....you are therefore either gay or not.

we are having a party for my grandma, she is turning 77.  she doesnt really want presents, but always loves spending her time at casinos.  how do you phrase this nicely on the invite??? so its not tacky like "dont bring me a present, just give me your money"???

Hopefully everyone that knows your Grandma will know that at age 77 you probably already have everthing you need or want.\nI wouldn't put it in writing, but I would tell people just what you said, Grandma doesn't really want gifts, but she would love cash to enjoy herself at the casino.\nStart with family members & the word should get around in time for the party.\nIf she happens to get gifts, volunteer to take them allback for her. That would be nice.

Like, how do you cheat on a test, or will someone do my homework for me cause im a stupid bastard and will pay you?\n\nJust curious...\n\nThis could also be, "what is your most favorite stupid question found on yahoo answers?"

People who ask silly questions aren't really interested in this, in how it works and why-- they're just bored people vegging out in front of the computer instead of the TV.  If they're doing this and still bored then it's not something to do for fun or to learn things but a way to kill time-- dead!  They turn into zombies in front of the computers and ask no important questions (to them or anyone else) and give few or no good questions to others' answers, then complain of boredom.  That's because they aren't really thinking or becoming involved in what they're doing, they're just vegging, like I said-- or more like becoming zombified.  By the way, my favorite stupid question was when someone just asked, "Hello......?"


I have to write a two paragraph essay and what is the contrast between Inductive reasoning and Deductive reasoning?

Many people distinguish between two basic kinds of argument: inductive and deductive. Induction is usually described as moving from the specific to the general, while deduction begins with the general and ends with the specific; arguments based on experience or observation are best expressed inductively, while arguments based on laws, rules, or other widely accepted principles are best expressed deductively. Consider the following example:      Adham: I've noticed previously that every time I kick a ball up, it comes back down, so I guess this next time when I kick it up, it will come back down, too. \nRizik: That's Newton's Law. Everything that goes up must come down. And so, if you kick the ball up, it must come down. \n      \n\n\nAdham is using inductive reasoning, arguing from observation, while Rizik is using deductive reasoning, arguing from the law of gravity. Rizik's argument is clearly from the general (the law of gravity) to the specific (this kick); Adham's argument may be less obviously from the specific (each individual instance in which he has observed balls being kicked up and coming back down) to the general (the prediction that a similar event will result in a similar outcome in the future) because he has stated it in terms only of the next similar event--the next time he kicks the ball.\n\nAs you can see, the difference between inductive and deducative reasoning is mostly in the way the arguments are expressed. Any inductive argument can also be expressed deductively, and any deductive argument can also be expressed inductively. \n\nEven so, it is important to recognize whether the form of an argument is inductive or deductive, because each requires different sorts of support. Adham's inductive argument, above, is supported by his previous observations, while Rizik's deductive argument is supported by his reference to the law of gravity. Thus, Adham could provide additional support by detailing those observations, without any recourse to books or theories of physics, while Rizik could provide additional support by discussing Newton's law, even if Rizik himself had never seen a ball kicked. \n\nThe appropriate selection of an inductive or deductive format for a specific first steps toward sound argumentation.\n\nhttp://www2.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/graphics/induc/ind-ded.html\n-----------------------------------------------------------\nDEDUCTIVE VERSUS INDUCTIVE REASONING\n\n \n\nInductive and deductive reasoning are two methods of logic used to arrive at a conclusion based on information assumed to be true. Both are used in research to establish hypotheses.\n\n \n\nDeductive reasoning arrives at a specific conclusion based on generalizations. Inductive reasoning takes events and makes generalizations\n\n \n\nDeductive reasoning is reasoning that involves a hierarchy of statements or truths. Starting with a limited number of simple statements or assumptions, more complex statements can be built up from the more basic ones. For example, you have probably studied deductive geometry in mathematics; in it you start with a few principles and prove various propositions using those principles. To prove more complicated propositions, you may use propositions that you have already proved plus the original principles. In more formal logic terms deductive reasoning is reasoning from stated premises to conclusions formally or necessarily implied by such premises. \n\n \n\nDeductive reasoning can be described as reasoning of the form if A then B. Deduction is in some sense the direct application of knowledge in the production of new knowledge. \n\n \n\nIf-then deductive reasoning is how scientists (and other people!) can test alternate hypotheses. Making deductions is important when we cannot directly observe a cause, and can only observe its consequences. This kind of reasoning can be modeled by the following:\n\n \n\nIf ...\n\n \n\nThen...\n\n \n\nBut...\n\n \n\nTherefore...\n\n \n\nFor exampl


That's mutating, which happens.  These mutations generally die off, and the mainstream within a species are 'generally' the ones that continue the strongest.  A flu strain mutates and infects again, but never turns into anything BUT a flu strain.  Scientists mutate species all the time, such as hybrid seeds for gardening, but they don't make anything evolve.  Mutations are not evidence for evolution.  Why do evolutionists brainwash us with that twisting of words?

Micro-evolution is when a plant or animal varies from the statistical norm of the species in some way that causes it to have an advantage over the other members of it's species in the particular environment in which it happens to be located.\n\nThis can be a result of mutation, however generally it is simply the result of the normal variations within a group of plants or animals since most every mutation is not beneficial but either benign or harmful.\n\nFor instance if greater size allows an animal to fight off predators or run faster then the other members of it's species then it will have a greater chance of reproducing and the species will tend to "evolve" into a larger species.\n\nThat micro-evolution can occur is clearly demonstrated by examining the different breeds of dogs that have been artificially altered by the selective breeding that has gone on according to the preconceived plans of dog breeders.\n\nMacro-evolution is an entirely separate although similar premise. According to macro-evolution an ameba like creature can become a multi-celled creature that can develop complex internal organs and nervous systems and external organs like eyes and ears. It doesn't stop there though. It claims that a fish can become an amphibian which can become a mammal and that one species of animal, like a monkey can somehow have it's genetic code altered at the microscopic level millions and billions of times over in a beneficial way resulting in an intelligent human being.\n\nScientists who have worked out statistical models of the chances of such a thing happening have estimated that the odds are something like 10 to the 250th power against that scenario. They say that anything with odds over 10 to the 10th power, that is (ten billion) 10,000,000,000 to 1 are generally considered to be outside the realm of what is possible to happen without some external factor being the cause.\n\nhttp://web.express56.com/~bromar/

Vitiligo is the loss of eye lashes. As you probably already know.  Vitiligo an have many underlying causes. Some more serious than others.  YOu have to treat the underlying cause to be able to treat loss of eye lashes.  If its something like blepharitis (which is kind of like dandruff on your eye lashes) you can use lid scrubs and oitments that you can get from your optoemtrist.  If it is something more serious like LUPUS for example (its an autoimmune disease), then you have to treat the symptoms of lupus. Its a very complicated problem. There are many underlying problems that can cause this problem. My best bet for you is to first see your eye doctor and see what he/she says. THen I would advise for you to see your physician to do some blood work, to rule out some autoimmune diseases.  There might also be some type of hormonal or nutritional deficit. Again, please go see your eye doctor. Its probably nothng serious, but you should get it checked out.


I'm 16 years old, Iranian student, and now I'm in 3rd grade of Math high school.

(Also I have some registered program in Iran). But I have problem in my researches, esp. in my new project (TTC - Text To Communication) and It's money. I request to my school and educational institutes for helping me, but they say that "you have to pay what you need for your project, at the end if it was success we will return your money but if it was not success, this is your problem!" I don't know what to do! But research is not business, It's for progressing! Please tell me what should I do? Where should I go? What do you do in your country if you have same prob.?

My question is do you like it when a guy tries to make out with you on the first date or should he not try to do that at all?  I usually don't try anything physical at all on the first date but a female co-worker once told me that many girls expect the man to make some sort of advance to show that he is interested otherwise the girl will think that he isn't interested or attracted.  Is this true?\n\nAnd regarding the kiss, do you prefer it if the guy just tries without asking or do you prefer for him to ask for your permission first?

you dont nessessarily have to say "can i kiss you", but wait for a moment when she not completly off guard (don't just sneak it up on her)and make eye contact .If you are going to be kissing in the first place then keep in mind IT IS THE FIRST DATE.So make shur it's not too too extreme!don't have a full out make out session when you've just met.\n\n:)


can a college major and a college minor be different? as in if you are going to major in earth science, but can you minor in music so you may be able to teach music in the future?

They do not have to be related to each other, although it can be easier if they are because then they may share some credits and some classes will count towards both.\n\nMine was Computers/Mathematics, but I also knew a Theatre/Computer...  So that should show they don't have to be related.\n\nAs for what they are.  Major is your major area of study, the majority of your classes will be directed towards this area.  Your minor doesn't mean the least classes, it's your secondary focus, either your fallback area of interest or a supporting area of interest.\n\nYou don't have to declare (and usually can't until you have enough credits) a major until your 2nd year normally.


It's on ABC. It was on tonight April 26th.

I am absolutely OBSESSED with that show! Anyone who likes LOST will appreciate and love it, and it's definitely better than anything else that is one during that time slot! The whole alien/hybrid plot is a thrilling one, and I really hope it sticks around for more! =)


It doesn't.  The t(exp 4)(temperature difference to the 4th power) law works here.  The higher temperature water will cool faster than the cooler water, however, when it reaches the temperature that the cooler water was in in the first place, it will cool at the same rate the cooler water cooled with.


I have Visual Basic version 7.0.9466\n\nI think I saw how to do this, but I can't find the information anymore.\n\nAlso I do not have any Flash software.\n\nIs this possible?

No, Visual Basic is a completely seperate entity from Flash, they are not even really the same kind of program, although you can make something in VB that looks like it came from Flash, altho it would require a lot more work and use of things like the API and DirectX and the like for the graphical prowess.\nBut as for just making a Flash with VB? That's like making a fruit salad from a cow. Sorry.

im tryin to do some make-up homework and im not looking for an answer but can someone please help me to understand this?\n \nthe question is about area and perimeter, but you have to surround the area wich is 36 with the perimiter wich is 26, 36 does not include the other 26.

Right.  I'm not sure what the question is, but let's assume that the space we are talking about is a rectangle, and you have to figure out what the dimensions are.  Well, the perimeter, 26, is the distance around the space which has the area of 36, which for the sake of argument, we will assume is square feet.  What times what equals 36?  9 x 4, right?  So, it's possible, but not certain that we are looking at a rectangle whose dimensions are 9 feet by 4 feet.  To prove this, remember that a rectangle has four sides.  If our assumptions are correct, it has two sides of 9 feet and two of 4 feet, right? So then,  9 + 9 + 4 + 4 = 26.  It would seem that this is the right answer.  \n\nOf course 12 times 3 also equals 36.  But this time, if we substitute the 12 and the 3 as the dimensions, we would get a perimeter of 30 feet, obviously the wrong answer.  Looks like you have a rectangular space that is 9 by 4 feet.\n\nI hope this helps and that I haven't just muddied the water further.


What kind of religion is this?They arent Jehovis Witnesses,and they arent Jewish.Please explain and how should I handle this?


recently i like this story..hope you guys can help me out

HEY! I FOUND A SITE!, THIS IS BLACK CAT VOL. 1. ALL U HAVE TO DO IS CLOCK THE FIRST PAGE OF THE CHAPTER ONE AND CONTINUE FROM THERE,HOPE THIS HELPS :) JUST CLICKTHIS LINK\n \n      http://downloadanime.org/index.php?spgmGal=Black%20Cat/Volume%2001&page=manga \n\nTHEY HAVE ALL OF THE CHAPTERS TO CHOOSE FROM HERE. \n\nhttp://downloadanime.org/index.php?spgmGal=Black%20Cat&page=manga


The government case was largely based on IF Moussaoui had told all he knew about the plot it could have been prevented.  Well hello all knowing Fed lawyers, wake up and smell the coffee... he is a radical Islamist dedicated to our destruction.  It is highly unlikely anyone with common sense should expect him to help us in any way.  The 2 Washington FBI supervisors however, were (and still are) being paid well, by our tax dollars to protect us.  Their refusal to let the field agents look at Moussaouis computer or documents even AFTER his arrest was MUCH more damming to the people that died in the WTC than any refusal of his to tell us anything.  If any one act can be said to have been responsible for the plot not being stopped, it is their refusal to allow the computer to have been examined.  May they sleep well......

Since when did FBI agents' supervisors start deciding what's off limits for a search?  As I understand it, the agents make a request to a judge to grant them a warrant and it's the judge's decision.  Of course if the supervisor outranks the agent who wants to do the search, he could prevent him from doing it, but what would that achieve?  Here's the scenario: the field agent says "hey let's get a warrant and search this suspected terrorist's stuff to see if we can intercept a possible attack."  Then his supervisor says "no let's not do that."  How can anyone call that incompetence?  That is a deliberate act to obstruct.  He should be tried for Criminal Negligence and Obstruction of Justice at the very least.


I know it all depends on how Lamar Odem and Smush Parker play, but what do you guys think

No contest buddy. The playoffs are a different story: the tempo gets slower and you need to bring your game to a higher level. The suns will have to play the MVP and best active player in the nba in kobe bryant, which is no easy task. Its not even kobe either, people keep forgetting that the lakers are actually a legitimite team with a resurgent Kwame Brown living up to his potential and Lamar Odom, who is a triple double threat every night. Add smush parker and a much improved luke walton and you got the lakers going to the second round. A seven game series where the suns try to run will be their own demise. Steve Nash isnt god. Kobe Bryant will solidify his claim for the MVP.

when I want to remarry, why do they need a divorse decree

They want to make sure you are not only legally divorced but that the appropriate time has passed after filing before you remarry (that law depends on the state). Usually they will check to see if the seal is legit, if it appears to be and the dates are kosher they will issue a liscense. If not then they will tell you to come back after they have called the court records for your county (or the county the divorce was filed in) to verify authenticity. Hope this helps...


the problem of black on black exploitation; members of ethnic minorities who have been educated looking down on their less privileged compatriots; and a hint of Orwellianesque swine-like behaviour.\n\nanyone else experienced this?

If you read Howard Zinn you will see though out the history of our country the rich have always looked down on their own ethnic group..Rich whites looked down on the poor white as common trash. The big Rich business man exploited all poor  persons..they considered them lower beings..This can happen in any color, race and ethnic group. And yes i have never been rich and have experienced rich snobs thinking they were better than me.. This happens to anyone who does not have money. i have an education and never experienced any educated person looking down on me.. but i never make anyone feel bad if they are less educated because they can be as smart or smarter than me..I treat people the way i want to be treated.

I plan on going to school fulltime next fall (been going part time) as well as working a fulltime job. Has anyone done this and were you able to do it? My classes are intro to business, Intro to Human Resourses, Hr recruitment, hiring, and International Film. I don't anticipate them being to hard. I understand I will probably have no life, I just want to see if anyone has done it. And if it was worth it. Thanks.

I think you'll be fine those classes mostly depend on teachers nad how much they want you to know, but the subjects themselves are mostly common sense, it will be hard but not too hard, it is definately possible.


I have been having nose bleeds every day for about a month. It happens alot when I go to work or school. Or temp change. Also, dry and humid change affects it too. What can I do to stop it?

Um, the first answer is completely wrong.\n\nTo stop the nosebleeds when they happen, pinch the top of the nose, DO NOT lean the head back, hold a cool rag or better yet a piece of ice under the bottom lip.\n\nGo see your doctor to keep it from happening all the time.


Is a year long enough, and then what were you looking for in a woman, especially if you are in the 50-52 year old category?  Does phyical appearance mean that much to you, other than if the lady takes care of herself, bathing, etc.

I know this is not very important but i really need to know this for sure and the regulation if possible. Can a ID cardholder that works in the commissary purchase items for non ID card holders that work there also. Here at Hunter Army Airfield, the ID cardholders from ANYWHERE can bring ANYONE they choose to the commissary as long as the ID cardholder is with that individual, however as an employee i can NOT do the same for people that work there, even if we are off duty, BUT i can bring neighbors,family,friends...Whats the difference and PLEASE let me know where i can find the regulation on this...THANKS very much...Tony

Technically..no.  Guests are NOT allowed to purchase items & must be signed it by a military ID holder.  Any items purchased and given to non authorized users must be considered a gift..no money is allowed to change hands.  \n\nDoes it happen anyway?  yes.  Depends on the commnad and whether or not they choose to be strict in enforcing the regulation and if they choose to prosecute those who disobey.

Most of the visitors to my site are teachers. So I'd like to know more about their working environment, the problems they're facing in school, which songs on my site they like best, ideas for new songs. The size of their classes etc. I don't particularly need any contact details although it would be useful to know which area they're from. \n\nI'm guessing it's possible to do this with forms on  my site which get sent to me when someone fills one in. Are there any templates for this sort of thing and how do I collate all the replies to make some overall sense of the data?\n\nI'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 on a Mac.\n\nThanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

What you're basically thinking is a survey, where you have a bunch of questions that you want your users to answer, and a way to collate the data to make it meaningful.\n\nThe application I use is SurveyMonkey http://www.surveymonkey.com . For $19.95 a month, I can put in a survey (either as a popup, a link on the site, or even as email to my subscribers) with all the questions I want. SurveyMonkey collects all the information exportable in various formats in REAL TIME. For open ended questions, SurveyMonkey simply lists the responses received. You can opt to get demographic info of the respondent or not. \n\nThis is the CHEAPEST way to do market research online.


Rocky, \nAs you can see by the answers there is a social stigma against this sort of thing.\nMy answer is that it is natural to have these thoughts, but that due to the social responce they are usually suppressed and kept secret. So it is natural, but not normal in todays society.\nSo don't think your sick due to the thoughts, but do not act on them for then you ARE crossing the line.


Why are there so many Catholic relics? I'm talking about body parts from saints that are considered holy. They even preserve whole bodies, claiming that the saint was so holy their body was incorruptable in death. Are Catholics just obsessed with blood and gore and death?

Chris is my favorite, stick with him. But I think Kellie will be getting the boot tonight.

I am writing a speech on theme of Eye for an Eye, tooth for a tooth, a fracture for a fracture.\n\nI was wondering if people could check out this section of text, read the section and then give me some ideas about what to say.....\n\n And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life. 19 And if a man maim his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him: 20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath maimed a man, so shall it be rendered unto him. 21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; and he that killeth a man shall be put to death\n\nplease include sources so i can find more information as well.

Why do people all ways get this one wrong!\n\nAn Eye for an Eye dose not meant the literal in any way shape or form. It means that a person has to PAY the value of the eye or tooth. This has a few factors like pain, Medical bills, lost wages, lost productivity and more. People that take it literally are simply wrong and do not know of the tradition passed down with the Jews for the bible. \n http://www.ou.org/about/judaism/torah.htm\n\nhttp://www.aish.com/literacy/jewishhistory/Crash_Course_in_Jewish_History_Part_39_-_Talmud.asp


Something happened in his life that I will never know. I didn't try to call or e-mail him all week and he left Friday for a 3.5 week long vacation.  I didn't talk to him before he left. It is obviously over between us and he didn't have enough guts to tell me. I am furious and hurt. I am not sure what I would do if he were to have enough nerve to call me when he returned from vacation. Is this soemthing that would be forgivable or worth giving a second chance to?

The best thing you should do at this point is to give him some breathing space. TAI (Temporary Avoid and Ignore) technique works most of the time because you will get him thinking what exactly is going on. Just stay away for a week or so. He will, just like all men, sense the lack of attention and regardless of how he feels about you, will feel compelled to get back to you sooner rather than later.

how do not invite my friend to my birthday without hurting his feelings?\n\ni have a really close friend, and he doesn't fit in with any of my other friends, and i really like him (as a friend) but i don't know how to not invite him or if i just should because he is picked on by my other friends and we have different scenes at school. any suggestions??? (be real on this one guys)

If he is your friend then you should be sticking up for him. Your other friends should be more appreciative of your other friends. Is he not cool enough to hang out with you in public. He must have a different background if the others make fun of him. You should at least give him a choice of whether or not he wants to come. Invite him and tell him who is on the guest list. He may not want to go either if he gets a hard time. Don't push him to come but he should at least be invited. If he does come then make sure that he feels welcome and tell your other friends not to pick on him. If they are your friends then they should respect your wishes if not then are they really your friends. On the other hand if he says that he will come then that is a measurement of what he is willing to go through because of your friendship. I think that the choice is right in front of your nose but you need a push to do the right thing.


I seperated from my sons father who is not a Christian over a year ago as he was verbally abusive and had d/a problems. What is Gods view on what action should be taken in this situation? I have grown in my faith and have been praying for him and the situation every day. He has slowly been improving. We were not married. As we have a child is it Gods Will that we be reconciled? Also what about custody arrangements..there has been a constant battle in regards to our son as i wont let him take him due to his anger and lifestyle and when he gets abusive i limit his time allowed at our house. Any biblical advice?

My preacher once told me that you are not obligated by God to stay in a relationship that is harmful to you.  He also said God forgives those who divorce due to adultery and that adultery is not limited to a betrayal of a physical nature but can also be a betrayal of the heart, etc.  Abuse is betrayal.  My opinion, it would probably be more harmful for the child to grow up with that type of role model than for the child to be removed from the situation. I will also pray for you.


Well it is a natural thing so it is built into a human to know how. but it probably gets easier as you go along. im 17 and i don't even have a gf yet\neveryone says no. but this is your question so i will take my problems somehwere else

My friend doesnt have to lift a finger and guys on all over her, flirting with her like crazy. I actually have to try and she doesnt i dont understand why. We're both goodlooking and have about the same personalities but she seems to try and compete with me over things like this and it really gets to me because i dont have any competition what so ever she alway has to have 'more friends' and 'more guys all over her' and i just get stuck their i dont really care that much about some stuff but other i just want to yell at her SO bad

u know im going thru the same...some people find me better looking, others find her better but we both as well have the same personalities and still she gets much more attention than i do...u know something, if she is competitive with you, she could be harmful even in the slightest way like i feel my friend brings harm to me by making my self confidence and self esteem go lower since she gets all the attention and i dont when im with her...but lately, i have tried keeping some space from her, even though i love spending time with her, i feel its always best to giv yourself some quality time...go shopping alone at times and ull get all the attention..it will definitely boost your confidence which is beautiful...in short...spend a little less time with her and you will see how it will work for u.. \n\nworking really well for me...

i asked how do you get a hold of someone in the military i cant seem to find the answer given earlier please tell me again

AKO Address is "firstname.lastname@us.army. mil"  Sometimes there are more than one personed of that name, so the convention is to add a number to the end or include the middle initial (firstname.M.lastname1@us.army. mil)\n\nIf you know where the person is stationed, or his unit, you can contact that base via phone.  Base phone #s can be found at http://www.army.mil  within "Army A-Z" under the "search" window.\n\nHis family should also know how to contact him, if you know them too.

If you are wanted by the Mafia but have somehow managed to escape (still in hiding), do they eventually forget about you?  Or does the Mafia never forget and you live your life in fear everyday because death at the hands of the mob is inevitable?

The mob is not nearly as efficient as Holllywood makes them out to be. With each successive generation the quality of gangsterism has declined considerably - to the point where they're now mostly ignorant thugs. It's also expensive to go after people. The fact is the mob gets very few informers these days. Gravano, Hill, etc., they're hiding in plain sight.

hi again thanz for the answers on the balanced equation its appreciated :). but im really struggling with this graph that i have to do here is the question.\n\n"using your calculations of molar enthalpy, plot a graph of number of carbon ataoms in the alcohol against molar enthalpy and use it to estimate the molar enthalpy of penanol, C5H11OH"\nomg PANIC!!!\n\nthe molar enthalpy that ive worked out is,\nethanol- 0.215, propanol- 0.167, butanol-0.137\n\ni have no idea how to plot the graph i mean do i have to count all the carbon atoms together for all the alcohols and then plot the graph or go for the highest carbon atom number (5)?\n\nplease help me, show me a diagram of how i should plot the diagram.\n\nthanx

Since you have 3 points plot those(number of carbon in each compound vs molar enthalpy)\n\nSO ethanol would be 2, -0.215\n\nThen you could try drawing a line of best fit(assuming the relationship is linear) between the three and extending the line till it reaches 5 carbon

I accidently cried in front of my internship boss today. I am so embarassed about it. Is there any thing I should do or say tommorow to make this better? I don't know how to fix this situation. I feel like such an idiot. NO jerk answers Please!

Nope, just carry on and do your job the best you can. They will probably think not much of it if your outlook is bright and professional from now on in. If they do mention it, you can decide how you want to answer then, for example. "Im sorry I was simply having a rough day.  Im fine thanks for your concern", blah blah.  Otherwise, I think it will probably blow over.  If you feel stressed in future, excuse yourself to ladies room and take a minute to compose yourself.  Good luck, you'll be fine.


I asked a similar question before. Does anyone have experience as a drug addicted person? My son is.  I'd like some feedback.  It's been heroin/oxycodone, etc. etc.  Any experience with suboxone (sp?) -- Meg, if you are reading this, you are the only one I heard from and was shocked. Thought I would try again.  Would like to hear some HAPPY ENDING stories.  I don't know if he's lying to me or not -says he's clean (but it's been years of lying, stealing, etc.)  I love him with all my heart and financially can't help him - he kind of ruined us financially.  Thanks for your thoughts.

Addiction is sticky subject.  I went through my own addictions for years, and have a friend who is going through it now. It is tough. My friend is now in an "in-patient" program. That is her way of coping with it. I had to pull myself out of my addictions. Luckily I was able to do so. It was tough, but it does get better. I have been clean for over 3 1/2 years now, and have been leading a happy, healthy life. Confrontation is scary and difficult, but for the most part intervention is sometimes the only way to go. Your son needs to know that you care for him, and that it is not an issue of your feelings being hurt. It needs to be more of a concern for his health, and wellbeing than anything. However, he needs to make the first step and accept the fact that there is a problem and also accept help. It's a long healing process, but it is possible. Best of luck to you!

I was told by a person who does alot of hateful things to others that if anyone tried to get his Criminal History to convince the police that he actually just did something bad it would'nt do any good, because he says the History only goes back so many years and whatever he did or got caught for before a date won't ever show up again on the list.  Is this true?

Where would the money come from? What part of our budget would we slide the monies from? (it has to come from somewhere and we are already over spending...)

Sounds like you are preparing a speech.  Still, your point about where the money is to come from is well taken.\n\nI say scrap the whole idea of public schools, SELL the infrastructure to entrepreneurs and let them start private schools.  Honestly, what with all you pay in taxes, and supplies, and fees, and so on, a good private school could be run.  And face it, the public schools have become vast propaganda and indoctrination machines, teaching kids that the only way to see the world is through the eyes of the Politically Correct.\n\nDo you know where the term Politically Correct comes from?  The old Soviet Central Committee, meeting in Moscow, had one person (and he had a staff, I am sure) whose job title was sort of ideologue.  (It was something in Russian, of course.)  And what he said was Politically Correct for the Communist party was correct -- because there was only one legal political party.\n\nWhich American party wants you to treat it as the only one there is?  Let's see; which one is Politically Correct?

My other question was:\n\n"Why do people continue to worship a "God"?\nthat killed millions of innocent men women and BABIES in the bible, advocated slavery and the total submission to men of women, and was just generally a vengeful, spiteful, cruel, murdering lunatic?"\n\nAnd almost ALL of them claimed that God did not do these things.  Apparently they're not familiar with Passover, Noah's Ark, and many other stories in the "Good" book.\n\nLet's just take these two for example.  Christians dont even know what these stories are!!!

The vast majority of Christians blindly follow the leadership of the church they attend. Subjects taught in bible study and from the pulpit are carefully constructed so as to leave no unanswered questions. Some life long Christians will even deny the stories to which you refer.\n\nIt is astonishing some of the hoops people will jump through to explain away these stories in the bible. It is ridiculous.

Edwards Deming states that knowledge is not possible without theory, and experience alone does not establish a theory.

THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE.\nDeming emphasized that knowledge is not possible without theory, and experience alone does not establish a theory. Experience only describes—it cannot be tested or validated—and alone is no help for management. Theory, on the other hand, shows a cause-and-effect relationship that can be used for prediction. There is a lesson here for the widespread benchmarking practices: copying only an example of success, without understanding it in theory, may not lead to success, but could lead to disaster.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking.\nAre you asking what an American would mean by using that phrase in a sentence?\nIf so, it would mean an extremely loud noise ( as in an explosion) that could "shatter the glass".
