females suffer so much.(period pain, pregnancy pain, while giving birth) do males also suffer so much pain?

Well, it's not to the level of giving birth, but there are a variety of male "pains." There's male-patterned baldness, prostate enlargement in old age (along with prostate cancer), a higher risk of kidney stones (which I have heard as the male equivalent of giving birth in terms of pain). Males are also more prone to mental and genetic disorders...fun for all. None of these though, would really match giving birth, that's one of the many reasons to respect women.

Here are the Marvel Directory Links-\nhttp://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/n/nightcrawler.htm\nhttp://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/n/nightcrawleraoa.htm\n\nI am confused. Are they one and the same?

okay.......(deep breath) It was revealed that kurt wagner's mother and father were none other than shapeshifting Mystique and the evil brute Sabertooth. Making the untouchable Rogue somewhat of Nightcrawler's foster sister. Seeing as how Rouge was raised by Mystique while Kurt was given up for adoption. In the cartoon x-men he was thrown in a river and found by gypsies while in the comic books I believe he was found in a shelter and adopted by circus folk. Now to answer your question one of Mystique's main aliases is Raven Darkholme (a white Native-American looking do gooder) Therefore in many alternate reality issues such as you can find in "Excalibur" and maybe even "Age of Apocolypse" titles, Kurt was actually raised by his mother and therefore goes by the name Darkholme. So where did you see it? :) - Useless knowledge is the best kind to have.


this summer i was rapedby these 3 guys. 2 of them stay in my neighborhood. they all went or go to my school. i cry about it all the time and when i see them in the hallway i run. its too late to report it, there is no evidence. but how can i get over it and live my life?

It is not too late to report it, the evidence may be all gone but you can still report it, if yu told anyone like a close friend will help and sometimes the things that det. day to guys will get them to totally break down. If you don't you will remain a victim of your own circumstances. Be strong and don't let them keep you down.


ok im 14 years old and my penis is about 2 inches. is that normal for my age?

Penises come in all sizes! :)\n\nIf you're talking pre-erection, then this is perfectly normal.\n\nIf you're talking about when you're erect, then while that would be on the small side, it's certainly not abnormal enough that you should be worried about it.


We met during the summer in July.Weve talked seriously just about everyday since then!He goes to school in Mississippi but lives in the same city as me.When he's home we spend a ton of time together an each time we get closer!Just this passed Christmas break(3 weeks)we got VERY very close,an we talked about having a relationship but wanna hold it off til' summer when he's home for 3 months an go from there.He came home for spring break an we were inseperable!He's even driven 6 hours to see me for just 2 days!!Before him i was really not wanting to jump into a relationship let alone a serious one.But we both said that an yet weve done a complete 180 since!He just makes me so happy an I'm actually starting to fall in love with him!He's told me he feels the same way.Were so much alike.Usually i would think thats a bad thing but its so much fun with him!We can laugh an joke,talk to eachother about pratically anything an everything,we have so much in common.My only fear is that i want more.

just let time keep going. if he makes you smile and laugh. plus make you happy. then things will work out for the 2 of you. just keep the same pace. when its time to pick it up. you will both know it.


My husband don't care about anything. He has always problems with money, don't do nothing with his daughter, he is just bussy with himself, spending his time and money just along and we don't know, where is he going and what is he doing. Please let me know, what to do...

I know how you feel, I'm also married to an uncaring man.  It's really hard to be with a selfish person.  I'd say try to talk to him, but he may not be responsive.  If he loves you, he'll honor your request to talk about the way your lives is going.  If he doesn't, busy yourself with friends and hobbies.  Sometimes they make an about face when you're not at their beck and call.  But no matter what happens, be strong, you have you and your daughter to worry about.  Good Luck!


If a Jewish and Catholic person were to marry and have kids, could those children be both?  Ie:  Get baptized, have a communion, have a Bat Mitsfa, etc.?  Or do they have to choose one religion or have one chosen for them?

A child is usually the religion that the mother is.And the children won't be accepted as jewish unless the mother is.They could convert, though.But yes, a choice will need to be made.Or do what I do.Give my son back ground on every religion and let him choose when he's older.


On TV, especially the MTV "reality" dating shows, the "real," normal, really nobody-guys always seem to not be too fond of girls with flat chests--especially the shows "Date My Mom" and "Next." Some of those losers make pretty mean comments to those girls sometimes too!\n\nWhat do you think?

I don't think making mean comments about things which people cannot change is called for and agree that they are loosers.  For me personally I like bigger boobs but that doesn't mean I have anything against people who are not well endowed.  It's just the initial attraction thing, in the end it is personality that will determine if you will really like someone or not.


Exact meaning? Anyway, everyone can have bad breath. I've not heard of one person who's had a fresh mouth 24-7, and if you find 'em, lemme know.


whoever makes me laugh th most get the best answer!!!

Did you ever notice that old people smell like originale listerine tastes?


Ok. I want to know. How do fish reproduce. Like how do they have sex. Can you explain to me, how this whole process happens. I'm completely lost and confused on this one. I must know though. Can you please explain it to me? Please.

Hope this sheds some light on it jessica.\n\n\nREPRODUCTION\n\nMost fishes are egg-layers, but many bear living young. Live-bearing fishes may be ovoviviparous, in which the eggs essentially simply hatch within the female, or viviparous, in which the unborn young are supplied nourishment through the mother's tissues. In some ovoviviparous fishes the embryo develops in the egg while the egg is still within its follicular covering within the ovary, and ovulation (or release of the egg) and birth occur at the same time. In other ovoviviparous forms the eggs are released from the protective follicles into the cavity of the hollow ovary, where development continues. In some viviparous fishes the walls of the egg follicle are in intimate contact with the embryo, supplying it with nourishment. In the viviparous sharks, a part of the oviduct, or egg channel, is developed into a uterus, where the modified yolk sacs of the young are closely joined to pockets within the uterus.\n\nIn live-bearing fishes and in some egg-layers, fertilization occurs internally, and methods have been evolved for introducing the sperm into the female's body. In sharks the pelvic fins of the male are modified into intromittent organs called myxoptergia, and in the male topminnows the anal fin is modified into a similar-functioning intromittent organ called the gonopodium.\n\nAt least three modes of reproduction--heterosexual, hermaphroditic, and parthenogenetic--are found in fishes. In the most common form, heterosexual reproduction, there are separate male and female parents, but even here there is considerable variation. In some live-bearing fishes, the female is able to store sperm for up to 8 or even 10 months, and this sperm is used to fertilize new batches of eggs as they develop. In some cases, a female may carry sperm from several males at once.\n\nIn hermaphroditic reproduction, a single fish is both male and female, produces both eggs and sperm (either at the same time or at different times), and mates with other similar hermaphroditic fishes. External self-fertilization occurs in one hermaphroditic fish, which sheds egg and sperm simultaneously. In another, internal self-fertilization may occur. In certain fishes there is a time sequence of hermaphroditism, young fishes reversing their sex as they grow older.\n\nIn parthenogenetic reproduction, unfertilized eggs develop into embryos. This is known to exist in at least one fish species, Poecilia formosa, of the Amazon River; however, even though development proceeds without fertilization in some of these females, mating with a male is still required to stimulate egg development.\n\nParental care also shows great diversity. Some fishes, like the Atlantic herring, form huge schools of males and females and freely shed their eggs and sperm (milt), and then abandon the eggs. Other fishes build nests and care for both the eggs and newly hatched young. Others have evolved methods of carrying the eggs with them, commonly in their mouths, but also in gill cavities or in special pouches on the body.


k well in 15 and me and my gf finly made out and well usaly when i kissed her i just kept my mouth close but a couple of days ago we made out so does that mean i should start french kissing her now?

If you want to. Don't feel obliged if you're not comfortable with it, but if it's something you want to try, gently ease your tongue into her mouth next time you kiss and see how she responds. If she is not comfortable with it it's best to wait a while before you try again but if she is and you also enjoy it, then there you go, you reached the next level of intimacy.


My co-workers and I are absolutely fed up with her rudeness and the fact that she, clearly, does not care about spreading her germs. Three weeks ago, she gave me strep throat. Supposedly, she's taken antibiotics for it but her cough is unspeakable. There's something terribly wrong here. We've spoken to the supervisor about this, to no avail, but she and the supervisor are "buddies". Whatever she has, I don't want any more of, so how do I handle this without starting an argument about it? We're afraid that it could be TB or something of that nature because the cough is constant, hard, and dry.

Wow it's amazing that there are still people so simple. \n\nI think "leaperpup" really said it best. If she won't respond to diplomacy that's I'd embarrass the heck out of her, and spray Lysol, and other anti bacterial sprays around, and encourage others too also. \n\nGetting up and walking away is definitely an option, so is waving your hand around and turning on a fan. \n\nIn the end I think I just might ask her, "are you so annoyed about being sick that you insist on spreading your contagious germs?" \n\nAlso check on company policies, if you work for a large place she is definitely violating something. In the end your best bet will probably be to ask for another place to sit, perhaps even an "upgrade" showing her that in the end, the mature always come out ahead.\n\nI wish you the best with this!


I am 21 going on 22.  I have been in a relationship with my high school sweetheart for over 5 years.  He is the same age as me.  Lately I have wanted to leave my relationship with him to possibly persue a sexual relationship with an older male.  No one specific yet.  I have this great attraction to older males, specifically in their 40's & 50's.  It's just something about them that turns me on in ways a younger male, around my age wouldn't.  I have a craving for older men.  Maybe it's for a sense of security, the respect, the knowledge, the sexual experience they have, I DON'T KNOW.  I have watched movies like Lost in Translation, ShopGirl, Secretary, etc... that appeal to me dearly.  Should I pursue this?  I'm not sure if I love my boyfriend anymore.  He's a great guy, I feel the need see what else is out there.  What should I do?

"To thine ownself be true" i think that you are young and need to do what you think you need to do. If older men are attractive to you, then by all means go out on a date with one, or have a sexual relationship with a few of them. You don't want to stay with your b/f if the only reason is because you two have a long history, or you are afraid to hurt his feelings.  You have to do what is right for you.  And you are still so YOUNG! you have plenty of time to find that special someone. Go out and have fun so when you do end up with the person you are suppose to be with for the rest of your life you are not looking back and having second thoughts about what you should have done. Life is the ultimate experience, live it up, because you only live once.


im inlove wit diz guy n well idk how to knoe if he likes me or not cuz he alwayz tellin me he loves me but i feel like he is messin around n shit n like he claims to be inlove wit sumone else. wut u guyz think?

He might be saying he loves you but it may not be in a romantic way.  Sometimes we put meaning to the words people say because that is what we want those words to mean.  You can directly ask him what the "i love you's" mean so that it will be clear to both of you.  Good luck!

It is christian song with no words will some one tell me wat i could name it

Kind of hard to be a "christian" song with no words...... But, you should name it according to your inspiration for the song. What in the bible inspired you, besides Jesus? Did you have a personal experience? That's where you should start.

to go both ways on this, no, it's not a fake.  and evolution can be proven all the way back to the very beginning of life, this just being one example.  the only thing that can't truly be proven is how that first spark of life actually happened.\nand to go for the religious side of the world, at what point does it say in evolution that we developed all the higher brain functions that seperate us from animals?  isn't it possible that that is where god intervenes and life as we know it begins?\npersonally, i don't actuall have any answers, and i don't feel like arguing about it, because every truth we know is a truth for an individual.  it's how we view the world and what's in it that sets the truths we live by.


In my short life I have strugled to understand the government in America, and those of other countries. I feel personal liberties are constantly sacrificed for national protection and vice verca. When this doesn't happen we see countries with absolutly norights, and simmilary one's with no protection. Abotion is a prime example where the need to protect the rights of the mother's liberties and the unborn child's survival contradict. I was wondering if anyone else has thought about this and come to any kind of a conclusion.

Obviously this is a tough question. I think that the general policy must be one that favors personal freedoms rather than protections. The case of abortion is a red herring. It is much too complicated by religious and moral issues. Another example might be better. what about the right of habeas corpus? Currently the right of habeas corpus has been suspended in the name of the War on Terrorism. Any individual (united states citizen or not) can be named an 'enemy combatant' and held indefinatly, without charges, without representation, and without a court appearance. I personally think that this is a clear sign of 'protection' over powering 'civil liberties.'

I personally have never heard a giraffe at a zoo make a vocal noise.  I have been told that this is due to a poorly developed larynx.  Is this true?  Do you have a reference?

We thought we'd read somewhere that giraffes did not have voice boxes and weren't capable of producing any vocalizations, but we decided to search the Net and see if this was true. We typed "giraffes make noise" into the Yahoo! search box and looked to see what we could rustle up. \nAlthough we did find a page or two that claimed the animal makes no noise at all, we found many more zookeepers, veterinarians, and other animal experts who debunked this popular misconception. On a page from Discovery Magazine.com, a kids' magazine devoted to science, a young reader echoed your question. The resident expert consulted with a zoo vet and learned that although giraffes are generally quiet animals, they can make a bleating sound, similar to that of a young calf or sheep. \n\nA page from the Indianapolis Zoo confirmed this fact, and stated that giraffes can also make a "low, fluttering sound." Yet another zoo source says that while giraffes don't often make noise, "they are capable of frighteningly loud grunts and roars if they feel threatened." \n\nApparently, the belief that giraffes make no noise is simply a tall tale -- the animals can make a number of sounds. \n\nIf you are looking for some fascinating, and true, giraffe facts, here are a few: \n\nGiraffes are the tallest land animal and can grow up to 18 feet tall. \nThe giraffe's neck can be 6 feet long, and its tongue can stretch 20 inches. \nGiraffes give birth standing up, so the baby giraffe enters the world with a drop to the ground. \nEach animal's coat has a unique pattern, much like human fingerprints. \nAnd we're not stretching the truth!

So...\nThere's this girl I like.  All my friends and everyone I've talked to thinks that she likes me.  I told her I would call her this week.(but i don't know if she wasn't paying attention or not).  I decided that i would call her today.  I plan on talking to her for a while then asking her to the movies or the mall.  You know, something simple. \n \nSo, i've decided to call her ,but I don't know that to say.  I don't have a real reson for calling her besides wanting to know if she wants to chill or not.  I don't what to just come out and ask her to do something.  She doesn't go to my school so I can't talk to her there.  But we do know each other pretty well.  So, what should I do?  How do I ask her to hang out?\n\nPlease help!\n\n\nThanks.

Dont be shy just call her and say you wanna hang out, then ask her what shes in the mood for like a bigger group party thing or a smaller group meet at the pub or if shes in the mood to just go grab a movie or something. Its not like shes going to come out and ask you well why do you want to hang out with me and what are your intentions??? lol if you know her pretty well shes probably just going to say well i was planning on doing this do you want to join me or shes going to say i dont have anything planned what sounds good to you?.... eather way you dont really lose :)


I'm taking Japanese in school and I need to write an essay anyone know how I can do that using Microsoft Word? A classmate of mine said that he typed in romaji and then it turned into kanji and hiragana.

You need to enable the Japanese keyboard. \n\nOn a Windows computer, first go to Control Panels, then Regional and Language Options. \nClick the Languages tab, and click the details button. \nThen, press the Add button and add Japanese to your list of keyboards. \nAfter that, hit Language Bar and enable the Language Bar. \n\nAfter that, you can change between the English keyboard and the Japanese keyboard. But, to type in Japanese, you have to enable the Japanese keyboard, and then click the _A button and change it to ひらがな(hiragana). To switch back, you have to switch it back to 直接入力(chokusetsu nyuuryoku, direct input).

the stress is needed for sliping reduces when we have dislocations in crystal structure.

If dislocation is observed in the Crystal Structure, there will be a stress concentration around the dislocation or the crystal will behave in a exited manner. Thus when stress is applied on the dislocated plane, stress required for causing slip is less.

Any guys who can answer : what's it feel like to be hit"below thw belt" try not to answer it hurts. I've been told that already. I want a comparison. I'm just curious.....

Okay I am not a guy but my little boy was riding a go-cart at a friends house (and didn't tell me) no seat-belt or whatever that thing is to control the speed. Anyway the throttle got stuck and he was only 8 and he didn't know what to do never being on one and he ran into a cement pole. It was the most awful thing I had ever been through the pain I saw on his face when they brought him to me was the scariest thing I had ever seen. He turned completely black down there and we even had to have an ultra sound to see it the blood supply had been cut off completely... thank goodness it hadn't but it was so scary... I cried for like 3 solid hours after because seeing how bad he was hurting tore me up inside and he was amazingly brave. He could not walk for days had to be in a wheelchair and was even hard to do that because sitting was so so hard... so I would say right now ... I'm glad I am not a man/boy and don't ever have to find out for myself.... I have no tears left lol


Love is when you love the person not lusting after them.

because God is not apart of the world now.it is a sad but true fact.people are so corrupt in their own desires that they dont care about God. i wish it was different but this has to come to pass. soon Jesus will come back and they will all be sorry my friend. i promise.


someone told said something about golden 3 and i did not know what they were talking about.

Are you referring to the Golden Mean or Golden Rule in Art and Mathematics? If so, the Golden Mean is the ratio of about 1/3 to 2/3. More Exactly it is 1.618 = 1/.618.\n\nThis proportion is found in Nature, such as Sea Shells. It is considered to be artistically pleasing when one divides a line into these parts: .38 & .62; .62 & 1.00, or 1.00 & 1.62... There is a seq in math called the fibonci seq (excuse my spelling). \n\nThe seq is:\n0, 1, 1 , 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233,...\nYou add two previous numbers to get the next number in the seq. Proportions that are pleasing are: 2 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 8, 8 to 13, etc.\nIn fractions that is:  2/3, 3/5, 5/8, 8/13, ...\nThese fractions approach the number .618....\n\nDividing an area in 3 parts and 5 parts is more artistically pleasing then dividing an area in half. The exact numbers are approx .38 & .62\n\nYet, often artists just divide an area into 1/3 & 2/3's. That is quicker than measuring exactly the .38 & .62 ratios.

I've been trying to get fired for four months now, but the supervisor just wakes me up and tells me to get back to work.


who discovered it and when, please no jokes; important for my biology project!!

History of the concept: Aristotle, Pasteur, Darwin, Oparin\n\nFrom its first formulation by Aristotle in the 4th century BC it was an article of both common and learned belief, at least in Europe, that complex living organisms arose spontaneously from non-living matter - fleas and adult mice from dirty laundry and from piles of wheat, maggots and flies from rotting meat, aphids from drops of dew. Life, in short, came about by spontaneous generation, or abiogenesis. Holes began to be knocked in Aristotle's dictum by early biologists in the 18th century, but not until the meticulous experiments of Louis Pasteur in 1862 was it finally established that a truly sterile medium would remain forever sterile, and that complex living organisms come only from other complex living organisms. The "Law of Biogenesis", (omne vivum ex ovo or "all life from an egg") based on his work is now a cornerstone of modern biology.\n\nThe modern science of abiogenesis addresses a fundamentally different question: the ultimate origin of life itself. Pasteur had proved that abiogenesis was impossible for complex organisms. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution put forward a mechanism whereby such organisms might evolve over millennia from simple forms, but it did not address the original spark, as it were, from which even simple organisms might have arisen. Darwin was aware of the problem. In a letter to J.D. Hooker of February 1, 1871, he made the suggestion that life may have begun in a "warm little pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, lights, heat, electricity, etc. present, [so] that a protein compound was chemically formed ready to undergo still more complex changes". He went on to explain that "at the present day such matter would be instantly devoured or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed." In other words the presence of life itself prevents the spontaneous generation of simple organic compounds from occurring on Earth today - a circumstance which makes the search for the first life dependent on the laboratory.\n\nThe answer to Darwin's question was beyond the reach of the experimental science of his day, and no real progress was made during the 19th century. In 1936 Aleksandr Ivanovich Oparin, in his "The Origin of Life on Earth", demonstrated that, pace Pasteur, it was the presence of atmospheric oxygen, and other more sophisticated life-forms that prevented the chain of events that would lead to the evolution of life. Oparin argued that a "primeval soup" of organic molecules could be created in an oxygen-less atmosphere, through the action of sunlight. These, he suggested, combine in ever-more complex fashion until they are dissolved into a coacervate droplet. These droplets, he suggested, "grow" by fusion with other droplets, and "reproduce" through fission into daughter droplets, and so have a primitive metabolism in which those factors which promote "cell integrity" survive, those that don't become extinct. All modern theories of the origin of life take Oparin's ideas as a starting point.


I'm looking for data/information on the average profits for a travel agency (ie., EBITDA margins, operating margins, etc) operating in the United States. I'm interested in the average across all agencies, whether they sell packages, flights, hotels, cruises, etc.) Thank you.

try at least half that. usually 10-16% and almost no TA's sell airline tickets anymore, airlines stopped paying commission on them


if so then How do we answer the passages against women in ministry in the NT?

Paul's passages about women in ministry need to be read in context. \n\nAt the time, women rarely got the opportunity to learn to read, let alone study scripture, and they weren't allowed to ask questions in the temple. How much credibility would a woman have leading a congregation if she'd never read the Torah or any of the prophets, or if she'd never been able to discuss theology with a priest? \n\nPaul didn't expressly forbid it - there were females in ministry in his day whom he addresses warmly in his letters, so obviously it can't be taken to mean all women.


You need to be more specific.  If you are talking of disaster planning you need:\n\n1. Clear chain of authority;\n2. clear and reliable communications; and\n3. available resources\n\nDrop me a note if you need more


even hilary duff turn to skinny girl all nicole& lindsay also turn to skinny.

I personaly think slim,petite and average size is sexy. But I have seen some above average ladies that have turned my head and grabbed my attention. It's really all about how you carry yourself and how confident you are with yourself. Sometimes thick can be sexy. But all in all i like petite,slim healthy ladies..NOT BONEY!

Does anyone have a picture of his wife? I'm just wondering what she looks like.


Live point is at high potential and neutral is at zero potential.\n\nThe Earth point is connected to earth which is also at zero potential.\n\n One of the terminals of any electrical appliances is connected to live and the other to neutral to complete the circuit.\n\nThese appliances usually have metal parts for covering and for some specific purposes. (Example- iron in iron box) \n\nWhen handling these appliances there is always a chance for the live wire to make contact with the metal parts of the appliances by accident. And they acquire high potential. This, if we touch the appliances unknowingly it may lead fatal consequences.\n\nOn the other hand if these metal parts are properly earthed, if by accident live wire touches the metal parts then at once it is earth connected and  due to heavy current the fuse blows off, preventing any probable accident.


It feels like it's stuck in the area where my sinuses meet with my throat.  I think it's blocking my ability to take in air through my nose, and it's really irritating.  This may sound silly, but I'm serious.  This is really annoying.  Any advice from someone who has shared in this very frustrating experience will be appreciated.  Of course, funny, sarcastic comments that may cause me to snort the Cheerio free are also welcome.  (Might as well request them, since I'm going to get them anyway...:) )

I just wanted to say that coughing will probably make this worse because it will be forcing the Cheerio further into your nasal passage, which gets progressively smaller. You want it to go to your throat, which gets larger. I would suggest trying to breathe in as hard as you can through your nose, and if you can understand this (very hard to explain), try to create the vacuum in your chest like you do when you breathe, but don't let the air in your nose, and then suddenly let the air in, to get some pressure. Hope that helps. If not, I think the other person was right, the cheerio will get soggy and go down by itself eventually. Or you could go to the doctor, no biggie. My friend accidentally snorted a gummy bear one time.


I know that there is some blood, and I don't have a super weak stomach, but I think that a lot of blood wouldn't sit too well.

Work for a regular dentist instead of say a periodontist who does surgeries to correct problems. Schooling is only about 9 months so if you don't like it there is always time to change your career again. Plus most interviews are working interviews where you go in for a day or two to work to see if they want to hire you or not. \nThere will be some blood of course because fo the field and gums bleed rather easily in some. The plus is its good money, here in Florida you can make about $16.00 hr working as an assitant for a periodontist. Decent money for little schooling .


Have you gone on a blind date? would you? Positive experience or negitive?  I have a friend who knows the "perfect" guy for me, but I'm apprehensive.

Nope... But I did go on a blind wedding... Man, those arranged marriages are pretty scary until that veil comes down and you can finally see your future wife!!!


I think some of the horror movies I have hated have come out in the last few years. (and many of which seem to be really popular despite this) I love old horror and some new horror, but unfortunatly I think the best days of horror are behind us.  What do you think I the worst horror movie that you have seen?

What's the fastest way to lose weight? I know excersise and eating less, but what else can I do to speed it up?

try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck


i'm supporting the dutch fot the world cup. I think they stand a chance of making it to the finals since van basten came as coach, though i would have preferred barcelona coach. Do u think netherlands stand a chance?

It's possible as it's almost always possible for a team to win in a cup competition.  They're in the wonderfully named "group of death" along with Argentina, the Ivory Coast, and Serbia and Montenegro. I think they'll definitely win against S&M, however the other two will be tougher matches.  However the IC is also a young team and I think that the more experience might favor holland(IC lost the ACN on penalties).  If Holland can make it out of the group stages I think they have a definite chance of winning.  That isn't to say that their squad is say, better than brazil's, however they might not even have to play brazil to still win the cup so I'd say it's definitely possible, but the biggest task will be coming out ahead in their group.

A. testosterone. \nB. androgen-binding protein. \nC. estrogen. \nD. FSH. \nE. LH.

These are Nurse cells, produce Estradiol (E2) but the action of aromatase on testesterone. produce Androgen binding protein correctly called Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, responds to FSH but not LH. They sequester testosterone produced in the Leydig cells and thus promote spermatogenesis\n\nThe are capable to making DHT (Dihydroxy Testosterone) the potent form by the enzyme called 5alpha reductase

I THINK WE LOST IT WHEN STUPID W. BUSH BECAME THE PRESIDENT.\nEHAT ABOUT YOU? ANY ANSWERS ARE OK. I DONT CARE IF THEY'RE SMART OR NOT.

I don't think we've ever had true freedom of speech.  For example, you've never been able to walk into a crowded theater and yell fire.  If you do, you'll get arrested for causing a disturbance.\n\nTrue freedom of speech would be being able to say what you want, when you want regardless of what happens.  Under the bush administration I do feel like we've lost some of that freedom (If you say anything anti-Bush, you are declared a terrorist or a troop basher).  Sad days, good news is he can't be in office for that much longer!


it starts around her mouth and spreads to her entire face.  It swells to the point that her lips will crack.  We apply ice packs and give benadryl but once it starts there is no stopping it.  The swelling lasts around two days and the redness will last a week or more. after about three days,  any affected skin will begin to peel like a healing sunburn.  We have seen three doctors (including an allergist) they say "Contact Dermatitis"  but have no idea what the irritant could be. They say to treat her with hydrocortisone cream and cold compresses.  Also, to use vaseline on her lips. Maybe someone has had a similar experience or has heard of one and could give me some clues.  My daughter is a nail biter, thus making it nearly impossible to pinpoint what exactly could be going into her mouth.  I would appreciate any help i can get.  I just can't figure this out.

The allergist should have done skin testing.  This is probably the only way you will find out.  She needs to know so she can avoid whatever is doing this to her.  The skin test is done by actually injecting a small amount of the suspected allergin under the skin.  She may not be thrilled about having this done but it probably should be done.

Hi, I planted some canna approximately 3 weeks ago.  I live in Eastern Nebraska - Zone 4 although I've had things die on me during especially harsh winters.  \n\nThe corms were large and very nicely formed.  I planted them approximately 6 inches below grade with a little sprinkle of osmocote and watered them thoroughly.  I spread a little mulch on top to keep everything moist.  Now having done all that - I'm a little concerned since I haven't seen ANY growth whatsoever.  Am I just really impatient or is there something wrong?  Shouldn't they be coming up by now -- especially since they're supposed to grow at least six feet by July?  Also, I planted two corms in a sandier area - will they do well?  Any advice is appreciated!

Cannas grow best in full sun with moderate water in well-drained rich or sandy soil. Cannas grow from perennial rhizomes but are frequently grown as annuals in temperate zones for an exotic or tropical look in the garden. The rhizomes are somewhat cold hardy but may rot if left unprotected in freezing conditions. In areas which go below about −10 °C in the winter, the rhizomes can be dug up before freezing and stored in a protected area (above +7 °C) for replanting in the spring.


I am currently a used car dealer, and I would like to branch off and open my own dealership some day.  I just dont know where i would look to get started with this.

If you are a used car dealer why would you want to sell new autos? That's were the money is. Anyways new dealers are franchises that you have to buy into.


I know its not fair to the musicians to steal their music off of sites like Bearshare,Kazaa n Morpheus but I cant afford $20-$30 for a cd all the time. I got a virus recently from kazaa lite and was wondering if anyone knew of where to get music downloads to burn yourself that was virus free?

I have been using Limewire for quite sometime and never had any problems but after a download I always check for virus on the file SHARE with my own anti-virus software. If you want something really safe go to (www.mp3searh.ru) you can download full cd´s for $1.18 or less and virus free check it out let me know if you do OK?


Any educated response is greatly appreciated. \n\nThank you

All of the above.\nIslamic Suicide Bombers are radicals, or religious activists.\n\nPolitics fuel their activity, because in some ways they can threaten to destroy citites and town with just a push of a button. Or, the other way around- the governmnt (undercover) can force a person to become a suicide bomber. Such people believe so firmly in their views that they are erady to sacrifice their life for them, dying while quoting words, fomr say, the Q,uaran.\n\nPsychology is also a main factor, because a significant amount of Muslims are trained to respect, admire, and 'idolize' suicide bombers . They grow up under strict conditions, and are taught to want to be suicide bombers when they age. They grow up with this mentality fueling their destiny and future. You can see this through photos of Islamic children holding guns, sporting weapons.\n\nI don't wish to criticizze the Islamic cultue so greatl, but it is a must. Things are happening in the Middle East that noone can ignore. Even  some sensible muslims actually have the nerve to rebel against old ways, to question their traditions, and to reconsider their way of life. Such Muslims as these realize the horrible potential of their childhood, and how they must fight it. They also come to acknowledge the fact that the way they were raised is wrong.\n\nHowever, not many come to this point.\n\n\n\n\n\nI take this is an opinionated question, so I hope that my answer is acceptable.\n\nReligious views are also important to consider. Activists will do anything to get their point across, and are found in   each of the three main monotheistic beliefs. Radicals go to extreme lengths to establish their views, and bombing is one of them.

my friend is ALWAYS sticking to me! and when i need her she's gone! we broke up being friends and got back to being friends. she's nice, too nice. and she doesn't know when to stop talking. she's good friends with the "Queen of the School" and even she has to tell my friend to shut up once in a while. she gives fake compliments, disrespectful, and pretty rude. WHAT SHOULD I DO????? HELP ME!!!!!!

Honestly you don't sound all that respectful yourself.\n Fake compliments?  Not sure what that means..do you mean\n she sucks up to people with things she doesn't mean? Or\n do you mean she is sarcastic in one of those "mean girl"\n ways?  If you don't like her, tell her why. It might do\n her some good. If not..she should be off your back.

are guys really so shallow to just go for the physical or does personality matter. to me looks shouldn't really matter. it's how the person makes you feel that should count..is he the first thing you think of in the morning and the last thing you think of before you go to sleep at night...and are you thinking of him every second in between...please tell me what you think....and honesty would be appreciated....cheers

In reality it depends on the person. I think as we get older we appreciate more of the inner qualities of the opposite sex. When we settle down, we want someone we can sit down and talk to.  A beautiful girl is meaningless to us if she has nothing to say or has no goals in life.  I think guys choose a combination of both personality and beauty (beauty in the sense that the girl takes care of herself and has good hygene), but personality dominates of the two.  For me its the heart of the girl that matters and I don't want or expect any favours from anyone, if a girl does things from the heart, then thats what counts the most.


The song by Queen...what is he singing about?

I saw an interview on British TV where one of the band, not Freddie or Entwistle, stated quite categorically that it was a load of old rubbish that they made up by throwing in everything they could think of.  Since it was voted the best song of the century, (or something like that) everyone seems to be treating it as something extra special.  I think it is a case of the 'Emperor's New Clothes' once again.

probabilty of kissing - 1 - 5/8 = 3/8\n \n there fore =\n no. of boys = seven\n no . of girls = six\nno of cases = 6 * 7 = 42\nthere fore p = (3/8 * 7)/42\n              = 1/16


I've been pretty depressed lately, which is nothing new. But the other day I lost it at work; crying hysterically for hours! I could hardly breathe. My coworkers didn't know what to do or say to me. Now things seem a little awkward. no one can walk by me without asking "are you OK?" I just joke and say yeah....guess I had a little breakdown

Go and see a  doctor my friend...he is the only one who can help. Good Luck to you.


go here  http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/


wow.. what a nice page. unbelievable. Actually it shows clearly that you have a broad vision.


the reason is that i never have know my real father and i am looking for all the information i can get to find him my mother had died 9 and a half years ago and i feel that a part of me is missing

If you know all the places your mother lived you can find out the names of the counties and go to the county courthouses.  If you can show proof she's your mother, you should be allowed to get a copy of the records.  Also, did you check your birth certificate?

I’ve heard of people creating web pages asking for money to help them with finances and blasting the page every where; and people really sent them money. \nI finished college in 2005 and I’m still looking for a work it’s really a drag out here.


I need a good long term science experiment that I would have to do research on and conduct my own experiment. Any ideas?

Try a mini ecosystem in a 2-liter coke bottle. Study it for a few months and see how it changes. Record what plants and animals you put in too.I suggest putting in some worms, moss, and an up-right plant


Every World Cup there seems to be a few teams that stun and amaze the world by going farther then anyone thought possible. Which team do you think is going to be the breakout team this year and why?

I'd advise you to keep an eye on Iran.  Success at the World Cup is about passion.  Look at France and Argentina in 2002.  Neither advanced beyond the group stage because they didn't play with a desire to win, but with the expectation that they would win.  Iran has a decent team in a difficult group with Mexico and Portugal.  If Iran advances out of that group, it will be because of their players' hearts and desire to win for their country, not necessarily because they are better than Mexico or Portugal.  Think about the political situation in Iran right now.  The people are besieged with pressure from the West and the government censors so much of the Western media.  The people's outlet is soccer, and the Iranian team's players know that.  Assuming that Iran advances into the Round of 16, they will have momentum and confidence and can win at least one elimination game.  They may even be able to give their Round of 8 opponent a difficult time, as the US did against Germany in 2002.  That would be a significant achievement for a team that has only been to the finals 3 times, and it could start Iran on the road to regular qualifications in the future.  That's the meaning of breakout.


As the season too hot i want my physical body to remain calm in this summer with the temp whopping + 40.  These non stop work with a little rest i find myself struggling..

I worked in a steel foundry for several years.  Eat small meals.  Eating large meals will make your skin flush and make you feel much hotter.  I find the best thing is to spray myself every half hour with water from a water bottle.  It really helps.  I bought a cooling vest one summer when I was having a really hard time, after being overexposed too heat.  I never used it at work, not very practical since you had to freeze it.  I bought the heavy duty one and I should have bought the light one, because I was so cold wearing it, lol.  \nAnother this is too cool your skin my taking a bath once every few days.  This is the best way to moisturize your skin anyways.\nAnother piece of advice which you won't like, don't suntan.\nYour hot skin will fatigue you for the rest of the week.  \nIf your working outside, wear a light shirt and light pants, your skin will thank you and you will sleep better.\n\n40 degrees, thats hot!


Can I start to do work in PhotoShop 6 then save it to a CD,  go to a friends house and finish the work on their computer which has the brand new program PhotoShop CS2? Thanks-  Holly

Yes, there shouldn't be anything incompatible from an old version to a new version.


If both are in love and they know that they are similar or apart of each other, how it goes that the man took decission to leave as of a sudden and everything gone with the wind although there is still love

I am in a situation like that but at the end of the day all it takes is trust. It is hard at first but then you get used of the idea that out there someone is wiating for me and really loves me.The important thing is that there is still love. And remember that love conqueres everything. It is only a matter of time before you are reunited.


i am talking to this older guy and he don't know how old i am should i tell him?

Yes, sweetie, you have to.  And you should tell your parents.\n\nIt's understandable to want someone's undivided attention, but it needs to be appropriate attention.  His attention is not what's best for you right now, even if it seems really good and you feel like you really love him.\n\nI know parents can seem lame at your age, but it's their job to look out for the things you don't know to look for yet.  Not because you're not smart, but because you just haven't lived long enough to have learned those lessons yet.  It's their job to keep you safe.  Help them do that as best you can.\n\nIf you just can't tell your parents, tell an adult you trust, like a teacher.


i lik soccer, and want to learn the rules/positions, can some1 help me out?

That is one heck of a question.  There are 11 players on each team, 1 Goalkeeper and 11 outfield.  They either play defence, midfield or attack.  The basic shape of a soccer team should be 4-4-2 that's 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 attackers but nowadays there are a lot of strange formations professional teams use to utilize the strengths of their player.  These include 5-3-2, 3-5-2 and 4-3-3.  Sometimes the 4-3-3 is used when a team is trailing and replaces a midfielder with another attacker and becomes more direct in their play.\nRules:\n    The object of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team.  To score a goal you must get the ball past the opposing goalkeeper and fully across the goal line.  To stop you, the goalkeeper is the only player that can legally use his or her hands to touch the ball and they may only do this inside the 18 yd box, if it is done outside it is a foul.  \n    Generally the feet and head are used to play the ball but in the past i have personally scored with my knee, chest and even my butt.  \nFouls are commited when a player handles the ball or makes unfair contact with an opposing player.  When a foul is committed a free-kick is given to the fouled team.  If the foul occurs inside the 18 box and is by the defending team it is a penalty kick.  A penalty kick is taken from the spot 12 yds from the goal and the goal keeper and the taker are the only people within the 18 yd box.  Challenges that are shoulder to shoulder between to players running together for the ball are allowed.  Challenges from behind were recently completely outlawed as the caused too many injuries.  If a player fouls a lot or makes a dangerous challenge they can receive a yellow card.  If you receive two yellow cards that is equal to one red card and you are dismissed from the field and cannot return or be replaced.  Red cards can be issued without a yellow being issued if a player throws a punch or stops a clear goal scoring opportunity illegally.\n    If the ball leaves the field to the side it is a throw in to the opposing side of the team that touched it last.  The throw must be two handed and from behind the head to be legal.  \n    If the ball leaves the field between the goal post and the corner of the field it is a goal kick if the attacking team touched it last and a corner kick if the defending team touched it last.  A corner kick must be taken from the quarter circle next the corner flag.\n    The offside rule and the backpass rule were introduced and modified in the 80's and 90'sto increase fairness.\n    The offside rule says that when the ball is played up the field by the attacking team, when an attacker is in the opposing teams half he must have an outfield player between him and the goal at the exact point the ball is played.  This rule was introduced to stop attackers just hanging around the goal and making the game very basic.\n    The backpass rule says that if a defender intentionally plays the ball back to his goalkeeper with his feet, the goalkeeper cannot then pick it up and must use his head or feet to get rid of the back.  This was introduced in the 80's because a lot of teams would keep playing the ball back to the goalkeeper so he could pick it up and waste time when their team was winning.  \n    I think that's all i've got.  I hope i didn't miss anything.


Being a semi-retired fine art appraiser, people have suggested that I have a web site.  I think it would be good for business and customers, but I don't want it to be too involved or complicated or expensive.  Preferable something that I could easily administer myself.

In my experience, Freewebs.com has been very reliable, even in the free version. They offer a wide amount of options, and it is very easy to create a website with the templates that are offered. No ads are required, though you could place them on your website to generate revenue, and even a little bar at the bottom is not required. I think you first have to sign up for a free account, and then have to make it a paying account. That's just what I have to offer. hope it helps!


Well, I know normal and healthy Men will get "wet" dreams sometimes... but what about Women?\nDo they also get through the similar experience? If women mas-turbate a lot, will or will not they STILL get that "wet" dream?\n\nPlease forgive me if I make some you feel uncomfortable...

i get wet dreams and it feels so real. sometimes better than the real thing. and yes i wake up wet. and i also masterbate sometimes.  so yeah women get wet dreams. if some women dont then i say they are missing out on some of the best sex.

I wear the face of a leader of men. My financial worth is small and my appearance not impressive, yet my presence is a passport to any country and society. I have the entree alike to the boudoir and the armed; I penetrate to royal palaces and to the far corners of the earth. In my youth I am bright and fresh looking; later, my face is marred and disfigured and I am cast aside as nothing; but when I am very old I am eagerly sought, and a safe refuge is provided for me, where I am exhibited to admiring visitors. What am I?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(YOU'LL NEVER GUESS - I shall let the best answer know)


there is a guy loves me but i dont and i told him that but he still following me

Have a talk with this guy, find out why he says he loves you because this guy sees something with in you that this guy likes about you. Give this guy some reason why you don't feel the same.Tell him you don't feel comfortable  with hime following you. Tell him could be friends get to know more about each other [ likes- dislikes ] Tell him you are not intrested in him at the present time. who knows maybe in the future a relation ship could develope between you two.


I mean isn't that all sodomites do, go out looking for angelic visitors to rape and surround their houses in menacing groups. It sounds typical of all the sodomites I know, why can't they just settle down and get married to each other like the rest of us and lead quiet boring lives of everyday domesticity.

Friend, you did not see "Sodomites" out last Friday.\n\nGenesis 19:24,25 \nThen the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.


If you get a nice place in Southern California, sharing the rent with a roomate...how much would the monthly housing expenses run and what kind of deposits are usually required???\nAlso, how hard is it to get a job full time possibly in an office someplace...

Rent depends on location.. However for a single apartment rent runs anywhere from 700 a month (if you are lucky) to 2000..  if you are just starting out, you can look for roommates.  Roomates.com is a good place to start..\n\nThe best place to look for apartments is Westside Rentals.  They have the most comprehensive listing in LA.  Depending on your credit, most places look for 1 months rent plus security deposit (which is 1 or half months rent)..  If you have awesome credit, you can ask for just the security deposit.  Full time jobs are hard to find because LA is mostly full of actors, musicians, models etc.. thus temp work is huge.. Not to say full time jobs dont exist.. they do.. Monster.com or careerbuilder.com those are good places.. You can even look for recruitment places like KForce or Adecco for help.\n\nCost of living depends on where you live but food it medium priced here.. but you can always just buy groceries..  Its good to have a couple of months pay saved up so that you can allow yourself to find a job..  If you cant find full time work, check craigslist and you will see a bunch of temp jobs avaiable.. promotions/office temp jobs are all pretty flexible so if you are trying to pursue acting or something else it can work..\n\nGood Luck

Include how to do letters (if possible) and numbers.

The answer to this question is WAY too long to take care of on the Internet so I'll just do some basics.  Keep in mind, though, that to truly be able to read binary code, you are going to have to do some studying.\n\nFirst, binary works off of only two "digits" being 0 and 1. In base-10 which we are used to working with, we have digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0.  So to count something in binary, with less digit characters, we need longer strings of character. As with base-10, our smallest values are on the right and each column moving left-ward is worth more.  From the right, the binary columns are worth 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 are so forth. If you have a 1 present in the corresponding value column, you tally the value for that column. For example, to count to 40 in binary you have 01010000.  You don't really need that first zero for just binary but for computers you do, because we always deal with packages of 8 bits of information, or one byte.\n\nPractice a bit making common numbers with those value columns and once you can get the feel for it, you would need to translate that to letters. This is a separate issue and I can't give you an answer because different sets of characters use different values--- for example, US English uses one set of characters and French uses another because French language uses different character sets (such as accents, schwa, etc) that are not present in US English. Korean uses another character set, so does Hebrew, Spanish, etc... so once you master the basic making of numbers in binary, ask again regarding your chosen character set.


I was wondering why illegals come over the border instead of coming legally. What is so wrong (or hard) with just diong what we ask to be doucumented like all the rest of us. If there are any reading this that came illegally, I'd really like to hear from you. Why?

It is not easy to get into this country legally, but most things worth doing are not easy.  As you said no other country, including Mexico, allows free and undeterred migration to their country so why should the USA.  The USA is a major terrorist target and we must KNOW who is coming into our country to protect our people and property from attack. It is about the greater good.  We could open our boarders and allow any and all who want to cross to come in but then how safe would they be after the bombings, gassing and killings started.


Surely the poles would be frozen equally, with only the equator still with some degree of heat?

This is complex theoram, and it happens to be taken from the exact idea of the previous ice age about 7000-10000 years ago in which only northern hemisphere froze over\nanother reason is dat the rate of pollution is higher in north then south (due to development) and effects of global warming shall be more drastic there.

Did your friend forget his password, want help in recovering it? You cant recover it because in XP, passwords are hashed and stored. But you can reset it. However, brute force technology may be helpfull in recovering passwords. But they will take a long time, sometimes, even days and weeks! So I would recommend you to reset your friends password.\n\nFollow these steps:\n\nFirst start XP in safe mode. If you dont know how to start windows in safe mode, go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315222 \n\nNow, logon to the "Administrator" account which you will not be seeing when you normally start windows.*\n\nGo to control panel, click on your friend's username and click "Change password". Type the new password and reboot your PC. Allow windows to boot in normal mode. When, the welcome screen appears, click on your friend's username and when prompted for password, type your new password.\n\n* NOTE: most of the times, there will be no password for the administrator account. But sometimes, advanced users use to set password for that account too. In that case, you will have to use some software which will modify the file where the passwords are hashed and stored. "Windows NT / 2000 / XP Key Enterprise" is one of such good software. It can be used to reset password. It is a product of http://www.lostpassword.com/\nFor more information, contact me. You can contact me by clicking on my name and ...


when they stepped foot on american soil, and they say they where here to help, did that give them reason to think we are weak and they can cross into american soil anytime they want? its been on the news that the mexican forces and the american forces have exchanged shots? a few had been seen smuggling illegals and drugs, the mexican government denys it, but they where in mexican army trucks and uniforms !!!

We helped Mexico City after their misfortune.  I guess they repaid the favor.\n\nIf the Mexicans had an agenda for helping Katrina victims, we shouldn't accept their help.  Cuba offered and we refused their help.

i am very outgoing and good with people and a quick learner. i know i would be a great secretary or something to do with business. i have no experience but i could definately do it given a chance. i need a job in little rock, Benton, or Bryant Arkansas. can anyone help?


...so how do I tell people to back off? I have had Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses come to my door and because I don't want to be rude, I can't muster up the courage to say, "I don't live by any book than my own." \n\nI think this is partly due to the fact that the community I live in is ardently religious. (LDS) I feel that if I come out as being completely uninterested to join any church, then my peers will lose a certain respect for me. It's a feeling difficult to describe. \n\nOf course, I can always deny my faithless state, but I have some qualms about that as well. I feel that it wouldn't be true to what I believe in, meaning that knowing if a higher being exists is above human ability.\n\nSo how do I deal without appearing like a jerk, ignoramus, or a follower of the Devil?

There's no need to get in to it with others.\n\nIt's not rude or out of place to say "Sorry, but I'm not interested."\n\nThat's all there is to it.\n\nYou have made your decision - there is no need to have to explain or prove your beliefs.

because of hurricane katrina i had to  move to mississippi and my boyfriend and i now are in a long distance relationship,we have been for  months,i love him he loves me.i trust him somewhat but then there is a little doub.he's in new orleans and i'm in MS will it work out?

Well, your situation is a little bit different than most long distance relationships.  A lot depends on how old you are and how soon you are likely to be able to get together.  If you are an adult, I'd say your chances are as good as any other relationship.\n\nAnd remember there's regular and fairly cheap Amtrak service from Jackson to NO.


I am a 37 year old male.  I measured my heartbeat and it was 58 beats per minute.  I have started going back to the gym once a week for cardio (30 minutes per workout).\n\nIs this heartrate normal?

Not unless your on digoxin. The average heart rate is 72 beats per minute. Now not everyone will be 72bpm but at \n37 your heart rate should be a little closer to normal. See a doctor and see what he says.

I think it is great that you're trying to do this.  I will agree with others that it is extremely difficult to get published.  However, people do, or we wouldn't have books!  \n\nGo into it preparing for some rejection lettters . . . but give it a shot.\n\nAnd I wouldn't choose one publisher, I'd choose several.  Or even better, submit your manuscript to some agents and get feedback that way.


i am an incoming college student and i really don't have any idea of what to expect. they say it's tough and a different world when you're in college...

It's not hard if you are disciplined. It's actually easier than high school in that no one forces you to go to class, you set your own schedule, and  you take fewer classes, BUT remember going to class is the key to doing well in college...if you go everyday and pay attention, take notes, you will be just fine.


I used to watch boxing all the time, haven't watched it in awhile..is it just me or did he disappear from the scene

Actually, both of u disappeared from the scene. He isnt backed by HBO anymore, and thats why u havnt see him ringside. \n\nWith his last performance, who cares where he is? He lost the little respect i had for him by making a conscious effort not 2fight, and just survive his 3rd fight with Antonio Tarver.


hang out in Wall Mart!  maybe you meet soem friends there....:)


He's smart and funny. He even went against his best friend to defend me.

tell your friend that you are interested too.  then let him make the moves.  if he likes you then he will make it happen.  just give your friend a heads up first!


We were together for a little more than a year and a half and broke up 2 years ago but still keep contact  sporadically through email.\nI dont have to see him anymore cause he lives far now but when I see our pics, go somewhere or hear about a place we went together, or about a movie we saw together, I feel sad. Also, places of my house where we used to hang out a lot make me think of him.\nHe has a new gf now and I feel happy if he tells me they argue or somethings not going well between them.\nI feel jealous when he tells me things are great.\nI thought we could be friends and we have talked about meeting again but I dont wanna see him with his gf.\n\nThere are times where I feel Im over him and Ive also seen other people after him, but this feelings suddenly come back.\n\nDo you think I should just stop having any contact with him?

hmm, tough one.\n\nI don't know the situation that you and him had that made you to break up.  But I'm guessing that he might have broke up with you.  Does not really matter much either way cause the end result is the same.... you two are not together.\n\nI think though that you did not have closure over the breakup and that you have feelings for him.\n\nWell, we see that he has moved on and that he has someone else now.  You feeling jealous seems to me that you still want to be with him.\n\nThink hard to yourself, why you two broke up?  Cause if you caught him cheating or the love wasn't really there after sometime....  Then getting back together MIGHT not work.  I'm guessing that you did not have a messy breakup since you guys are still friends.\n\nYou might be trying to hold on to memories of the good old times and think that maybe if you got back together you will have that again.  Trust me, it will never be exactly the same.  And actually its a proven fact that the human mind remembers things with an amplified emotion... that is you remember this great place when you grew up but visiting back later, you notice its not the same.  Cause your expectations are going to be set really really high.  And when it does not happen the way you remember you'll be really devistated.\n\nIf I were you....  I would tell him about your feelings if you trully want to get back together with him.  Cause this is a choice you both have to agree on, not just you.  But if you don't want, then I would say cut all ties from him.\n\nGood luck!


For several yrs she's wet her pants. We went to a Dr.&all test come back fine. She always has her hands down her pants,soils her panties, fights w/me to shower & wears the same underwear for days. When she does shower she dont wash her hair and I always have to make her get back in. She don't flush w/she goes #2. She smells and kids at school make fun of her. The rest of us are clean and we feel dirty because we find feces all over the place and it smells so bad. She lies constantly. She recently started smoking behind my back, is fasinated w/pot and was seen w/a group of friends huffing. She has an appt on May 1st w/a psychiatrist.She has a lazy personality and yells when she is asked to do even the smallest chore. Like put her shoes away. Shes overweight and refused to walk/w/me.I fear sexual abuse.She said nothing has happened. I can't imagine who would do such a thing. Except her biological father who I found out after we divorced melested 2 kids. She was one when we split.

Wow, I can only imagine how stressful this must be for you!\n\nI think that the psychiatrist will be able to give you some answers.  If there WAS sexual abuse the Dr. will be able to tell--even is she lies about it.  Psychiatrists are trained to deal w/ these situations.\n\nPlease don't feel that this is your fault.  And please don't let the stress overwhelm you.  \n\nBest wishes.\n\nEDITED TO ADD:  In light of your additional details, I'd definately encourage you to just go ahead and take her to the hospital.  DO NOT feel guilty.  And don't listen to her when she tells you she hates you or that you're a bad mother.  YOU'RE NOT. \n\nOK, straight up talk here:  It takes a **** of a lot of courage to be parent sometimes and this is one of those times.  You need to get help both for her and for yourself.  It will be hard and things will get really rough for a while but you deserve a normal life and she deserves to have the most normal life she can have too.  The longer you wait, the harder it'll be.\n\nTake care.


How can we get rid of maoist and cruel monarchy?

When you're willing to lay down your life for the destruction of a certain idea.  And when you're able to convince others that it's prudent to do said actions.


a welfare check and food stamps every month?Also, they get their rent practically paid for. It really urks me.

Yes, it annoys me, too. I grew up around people like that. This is partly why I'm against welfare-because I know that it gets abused. The major reason I'm against it though, is because I believe in people just being responsible for themselves. Unemployment for people who have actually LOST their jobs is about the only social welfare I believe in-aside from financial aid, which helps kids get out of an unfortunate situation that they were put in by their parents.\n\npseudo_obscure, I skimmed through the other posts, and I see no mention of race/color. Why would you call someone a racist for commenting on welfare? It seems like you are the racist for associating welfare with a specific race.\n\npinky, and anyone else who does not believe that people on welfare actually pay for nothing in life, I grew up with people like this. First off, there's something called Section 8, in which the govt will pay part or ALL of your rent. Add food stamps to that, and what's left for these people to worry about in life??? A few years ago, I worked with someone who was about to move into another home, and she was hesitant because she didn't "want to lose [her] housing" and that she "waited 3 years to get free housing". SHE ACTUALLY SAID THAT!!! Can you imagine hearing crap like that from one of your COWORKERS? Knowing that part of the deductions from your pay check is going to pay her rent?


You have to be attuned to the level energy of the soul, that is the astral plane. Astral plane is also known as the emotional plane where all emotions negative or positive are kept. Unchecked or unresolved emotional conflicts on the part of the soul may cause it to manifest in other dimensions/plane like the one we occupy.


The only carbohydrates that the cells can use directly are\n(A)fats\n(B)proteins\n(C)complex sugars\n(D)simple sugars\n\nWhat would be the answer.

The answer is (D) simple sugars.  However, cells must break down glucose through cellular respiration (glycolysis or fermentation) to create ATP, which is the energy molecule used for cell processes.


Which one poses a clear and present danger ?

North Korea probably represents one of the most significant nuclear threats facing the US. It is implacably hostile to the United States and unpredictable in its responses. For more than 60 years it has posed an invasion threat to South Korea, though the military balance has been increasingly tilting against its favor. North Korea now claims to have nuclear weapons, and Western analysts agree that it has had a capability to have produced them\n\nFor years North Korea’s overwhelming conventional superiority on the peninsula was partly countered by US nuclear capabilities. But as South Korean military capabilities grew, the balance shifted so significantly that by the early 1990's, the US had withdrawn all theater nuclear weapons from South Korea. \n\nThe core significance of N. Korean nuclear weapons is that they make a US use of nuclear weapons unattractive in any military confrontation. A N. Korean invasion would certainly require a strong US response. With so many US forces tied down in the Middle East, nuclear weapons might even be considered. The US might also be tempted to use nuclear weapons to preempt a N. Korean attack. Perhaps more disturbing is the N. Korean nuclear program. Not only has N. Korea withdrawn from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and claimed to have actually developed its own nuclear weapons, but it appears to have been a major player in a worldwide black market in nuclear materials, information, and potential delivery vehicles. It has also been very intransigent during on-going discussions regarding its nuclear programs, insisting on a right to have its own nuclear energy reactors\n\nUnlike Iran, No. Korea has had years of building underground structures at some 30 known locations as well as presumably additional unknown ones makes the targeting extremely difficult (esp. with regard to command and control centers).\n\nIt is also assumed that they now have the capability of reaching all targets within contental USA, something Iran doesn't have at the present time.


Do you think we should close the borders to ILLEGAL!!aliens or keep them open for everyone to come in .Or should we let the ones stay who goes through the legal process or just grant ammensty to all illegal and tell the ones who goes through legal means so sorry

I definitley think we should take strong action to stop this from happening. It won't be too long and we'll be the minority. It's like the US is just saying, hey come here and take our country from us. While your at it, fly only mexican flags and speak only spanish, so us americans will have to learn it. It's such a sensitive subject, but I hear so many mexicans saying they're not being treated fairly or equally, well no kidding, more than half of them are illegal. If they love mexico soo much, then go back!!!! Besides it makes me really uncomfortable when a group of mexican guys stare at my friends and i and talk amongst themselves. what the h e l l are they saying?
