that a real person took the nickname for himself only after the movie was made.  Anyone know the history?

Rudolph Wanderone, a very fat man, called himself Minnesota Fats. He was known as New York Fats, and Brooklyn Fats, or just Fats. People say that he had probably never been to Minnesota. Then the movie (and book), The Hustler came out, and Fats said that the movie was about him. And he began calling himself Minnesota Fats. Walter Tevis, the author of The Hustler (as well as The Color of Money, The Man Who Fell To Earth, and the Queen's Gambit) denied that the book was about Mr. Wanderone. He said that he made up Minnesota Fats and Fast Eddie. Tevis was upset about Wanderone stealing the name from his book and movie.\nFats was not a particularly good pool player, not of tournament pro caliber. He said he was the best. He said that he had never lost a game. He said a lot of things, and he said it loudly. He put on a good show, and he was good for the game. He is in the BCA Hall of Fame, not for his pool, but for his promotion of the game. For this, he deserves his place in the Hall of Fame. He was the best and funniest show in pool. And he was pretty good at making bank shots.\n\nHe had the ability to manage his money as well as manipulate other players (important to the hustle).  In his latter years he did television promotion, sometimes with Masconi, but he was never the great player.


I was sitting in class flirting, just joking around with this boy. Not kissing or anything just talking, laughing and my boyfriend walked in! He was mad! I don't think there's anything wrong with it I wasn't doing anything wrong! Was I wrong?

Guys get the impression that you are either a hoochie or a big flirt & think that you would cheat-period...regardless of what they say to your face...that's what they're thinking.If hoochie & big flirt sounds positive to you then be my guest...


this guy ive been crushing on like forever has a girlfriend and cant just give up on him. right?

Show youre better (or dress like a tramp around him)


I wanted to asked people that worship on Sabbath day (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown), what they let there kids do and not do?

These women look like freaks of nature. Should I be worried that he is looking at not JUST porn which I disagree with but at these women who have to have their breasts DRAINED, yes DRAINED because they are continually growing due to these freak of nature implants?\n\nI told him it makes me think I am not good enough for him and I am insecure even though we both agree our sex life is good. He said he is just curious. I think this curiosity is disgusting and way off what I feel is "normal".\n\nHe only admitted to the porn after I found out about it. He ws hiding that he was viewing it. He said he was just curious.

That is disgusting. I would tell him to give it up or give me up. I wouldn't put up with that shit.


I THINK ONLY ME(BOYS)THINK OF SEX AND EAGER TO HAVE SEX AS I AM STILL VIRGIN.

Despite the so-called "modern" mind-set of women in today's society, many still believe in what is often referred to as the ancient ways of relationships. This is the basic idea that the male is the dominate one and should therefore be the one to initiate all aspects of the relationship. This is, of course, complete crap! Women are just as afraid of rejection as men are. Good Luck!!


i need a list of top 100 metroplexes in USA or a loactaion where i can find it

I would help you but I don't know a metroplex is... when i searched for it on google here's what came up


father kidnaps baby but police & c.p.s do not get involved due to the fact that when mother gave birth she gave the baby girl her father's last name. But the mother is the one who provides for the child not the dead beat father!! yet police & other agencies would not get involved saying because the child has the father's last name he has equal rights to the child yet he provides no money for child at all !!! So mother has to do all sorts of things to try & get baby back. The father's only interrest in baby is her social security check she receives because she was born premature & has health problems.

if the mother has custody and the father doesn't and he takes off with her then it is kidnapping. and i don't know what city you live in but you need to get more than just the police involved then, maybe the sheriffs department, state police or FBI, don't take what they say for gospel. kidnapping is still just that kidnapping. felony by the way.it doesn't matter if the baby has the same last name or different either.take his butt to court and have a court order removing all of his rights. sounds like he is a loser anyways.


I keep falling on the beginning part of the jump (the  three swings) and I can do a waltz jump really well.

Practice your foreward outside three turn and hold the ending with you leg extended behind you. After you are able to hold your check on the three turn you can start to worry about the jump. Holding your check is the hardest part of this jump. Also remember not to lift your hip. Keep them level while you are going foreward and backward. You should not be swinging around.


They seem have little clue how evil their goverment is and how people around the world suffer as result of their U.S goverment foreign policy . republicans keep talking about bible and jesus and same time the poor , sick and elderly seem to suffer from their policies but the wealthy benefit . why so stupid ?

You are making GROSS generalizations. \n\nDoes the rest of the world have any clue how many Americans are disgusted with our own government's foreign policies?  How many Americans LOATHE our current administration?  How many Americans have expatriated or are in the process of expatriating in disgust?\n\nShut up, sit down, and don't tell me what I do and don't have a clue about.


one of my friend told me to take omega fish oil to reduce my stomach fat, but i went to the net, and it does'nt says anything about reducing fat, what do i do

Well it is good for choleaterol! If you want to loose stomach fat diet and exercise. Take in less and burn off more.


There is plenty of research on how mosquitos find a bloodmeal.  But after a bloodmeal, a female mosquito needs to find a mate and needs to find water to lay eggs.  How does she do this?

Generally they hatch near the water they are buzzing around.  They don't go far, and when they do they just stop near the next stagnant pond.  Remember, they all don't have to make it from pond to pond.....tens of thousands may try to find water...only hundreds may succeed.


My cousin and I have agreed to do this, but given the intricacies of my situation (probate law), a local friend in real estate highly recommended that I use a lawyer to take care of this. I'm not a big fan of lawyers, but I want to make sure this gets done right.


guys or girls with really good expirence. plz help me, how do guys that are about 14 and are like really good micanics and drives a tractor, how can i get him to like me. i have red hair blue eyes and freckels and i kinda weigh alot. but i really like him.

The best way to get a guy's attention is by becoming the kind of person you really want to be.\n\nTake care of yourself, your character and your schoolwork.  If he's a good guy, he'll notice you.  Never try to become what you think a boy will want you to be.  It never works, and it always hurts you.  \n\nSelf-respect (not conceit, but respect) is attractive. Become the best you that you can be.

HIS NAME IS SHAUN JONES. HE HAS A LITTLE BROTHER NAMED MORRIS AND HIS MOTHER'S NAME IS BARBARA. I KNOW HE WAS MARRIED TO A YOUNG LADY IN MILLICAN. LAST I HEARD THEY WERE GETTING A DIVORCE. THEY HAD A CHILD TOGETHER(GIRL I THINK). JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LOOK UP SOME OLD FRIENDS TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE UP TO NOW DAYS. WHEN I MET HIM HE WAS LIVING IN COLLEGE STATION TEXAS WITH HIS MOM & BROTHER. HIS PARENTS WERE ALREADY DIVORCED, SO I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIS DAD. HIS MOTHER WORKED AT DOUX CHENE APARTMENTS IN COLLEGE STATION TEXAS WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THEY LIVED. IF YOU COULD HELP ME FIND HIM, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

I'd try Classmates.com. If you know where he graduated from, and/or the year, you'll find hm in mo time.\n\nHope I helped!


lewis andrew...lives in new york ( i think)may have moved.


we all come from different back rounds but in the end is there really a difference between what love means in a specific culture or is all the same?

i think is is the same when you get down to it, but love is treated diffrently in diffrent cultures. women are treated like slaves in alot of diffrent cultures, but they are ok with it because they think that is what love is all about, pleasing your husband. love is what you make it, and as long as they are happy ith it , then i guess it is ok.


;p, well yeah everything lookz perfect but only after opening the banana cover u see how it is inside...jokes apart...the whole body cant b waxed so tell me....


My father died 4 months ago. My very strong capable mother has fallen a part. She can't make decisons and she very depressed. I do not feel as if she is a burden I only feel helpless. She would never consider medication. But I worry that she will grieve herself to death or at least sick.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother must have loved your father very much and we can only imagine the pain that she's feeling right now. If you want to help her, be there for her, let her cry, let her be depressed, let her talk about your father or not. Four months isn't that long of a time frame to move past the grief of losing your best friend and life partner, so first and foremost, give her the time, space and permission to grieve the way she needs to grieve. Remember, she's not only grieving the loss of her husband, she's grieving the loss of her entire way of life...it's a difficult adjustment.\n\nAt the same time, encourage her to make small steps toward a 'normal' life again (although, to her, life will never be 'normal' as she knew it again). Take her out to lunch, to a movie, shopping or just for a cup of coffee. Invite her to your house for dinner, if you have children, bring them around. Maybe take a class together at your local community center. All of these things will remind her that there is still life all around her. \n\nIf you're concerned that her depression goes beyond what would conceivably be considered normal for intense grief, then encourage her to speak to a therapist about it. I know you said she would never consider medication, but maybe she doesn't need it. Maybe she just needs someone to talk to, someone who can give her tools to cope with her pain and grief. Another option would be checking into grief support groups in her area. These groups are a great source of comfort and support...she will be surrounded by people who understand the intensity of the pain that she's feeling right now and will have the support of those who have worked their way through it so that she can see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. \n\nFunny thing about grieving...we all do it differently, yet no one does it wrong.

"When in Rome..."\n\nIs it more or less useful when the phrase is completed with, "... do as the Romans do."?\n\nAnd why Rome?  Would the phrase take on a different meaning in another city was used, say 'Athens',... or San Francisco?\n\nIs it helpful advice (in any form), or is it just another head-rattling cliche?

"When in Rome....\n             ... eat pizza!"\n\n"When in Rome...\n             ... get your picture made in front of the Colleseum."\n\n"When in Rome...\n             ... toss a penny in Trevi Fountain."\n\nOhhhhh sure....all the things that all Roman (tourists) do daily!!! *cough*\n\nExactly what is it that the Romans are doing that we should be doing? Cause I've been to Rome and I'm thinking I might have just missed the boat as far as the cliche is concerned. Wait.....no I missed the boat in Venice. Ok...nevermind. *wink*


First of all, Happy Easter!\n\nPersonally, i'll watch "Passion of the Christ"-Mel Gibson and listen "Above All"-Michael W. Smith. I wonder why Mel Gibson didn't take "Above All" as "Passion..." theme song, since both totally fit each other...\nAnyway, any recommendation?\n\nOnce again: Happy Easter!

Personally I'm partial to "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and Beethoven's 9th Symphony. But "Ben-Hur" with Handel's "Matthew Passion" is good and "King of Kings" with Handel's "Messiah" is nice too.

The movie came out in the year 1996 ( i believe ) it was about a woman who lives in two separate worlds. One she is rich and has everything, the other world she is poor. By the end of the movie you realize one is a dream world the other is her real life. Throughout the movie she sruggles with which is real and which isnt. I believe in one of her lives she lives in England and the other is in New York. I could have the locations wrong. I also believe the main character was played by Penelope Cruise. I could aslo be wrong about that, but the actress did have dark brown hair. Anyways, I dont think I left anything out about the movie. Do you think you know the title if so please let me know. Thanks

What should she do? \n\nP.S. she doesnt have a yahoo account and she wanted me to ask it

Here goes, my friend just got a computer from another person. This person gave her the computer as is, including all of his crap on it. I want to format for her, but here's the prob...I get into the DOS shell, and type format c: then it asks if I'm sure, I say Y. After this, it tells me that other processes are using C drive so it will now abort the format. What can I do?\nAlso, I found that I have an old startup disk I made back when I had Me years ago, will this help me at all? It's been so long since I've used Me that I really don't remember what exactly I'm supposed to do here.\nThanks in advance. :)

You can reboot using the fail-safe mode with system console only.

For instance the net sales, net income, EPS, current assets and liabilities, etc.

Current trends include (1) expanding their non-chocolate product line, (2) creating healthy snacks, and (3) expanding into the Hispanic food markets. Read on:\n\nThe company makes such well-known chocolate and candy brands as Hershey's Kisses, Reese's peanut butter cups, Twizzlers licorice, Mounds, York's Peppermint Patty, and Kit Kat (licensed from Nestlé). Hershey also makes grocery goods such as baking chocolate, ice-cream toppings, chocolate syrup, cocoa mix, and peanut butter. Its products are sold throughout North America and exported overseas. The Hershey Trust -- which benefits the Milton Hershey School for disadvantaged children -- controls approximately 79% of Hershey's voting power. \n\n\nThe company is a growing presence in the hard- and non-chocolate candy market, with such brands as Good & Plenty and Jolly Rancher. The company is expanding its products with new versions of old favorites, such as Jolly Rancher lollipops and bite-sized bits of its popular chocolate bars.\n\nIt introduced sugar-free chocolate and is exploring expansion into the snack-food and Hispanic markets. It is also introducing packaged cookies whose flavors are based on its Almond Joy, Reese's, and York products' flavors.\n\nMoving from the confectionery market to the snack market, Hershey has been busy introducing such items as cookies (Kisses Mini Cookies), granola bars (Hershey's Snacksters), and trail mix (PayDay Caramel bars).\n\nHershey's largest customer, McLane Company, accounted for 20% of company sales in 2005.


i m studying for usmle and i cant concentrate on it.i just want to know if the traetment is helpful or not

Yes, first get diagnosed by a physicist, if you have ADD or ADHD for sure get treatment. You will feel so much better.


Anyone remember the words to that ad, "Your the tops! Your the shining glory..." it starts out. (Or something like that).

Sounds like something from "Anything Goes" by Cole Porter.  Great musical!  "You're the tops, you're the coliseum".  I am not old enough to really remember too many commercials from then, but it may have been borrowed from the above musical.  Hope this helps!


My mom is right now having awful unbearable pain in her legs.  They twitch and she moans so bad with pain and I don't know what can be done to help her.  She has had this problem for a long time and it just gets worse and worse.  Morphine does not even help.  What can she do to ease this?

Well, your question was whether diabetic neuropathy can bring on pain in a person's legs.  Yes, it can.  More often, though, is a loss of pain and other sensation in the legs.  That's how a diabetic person can sustain a serious injury to the foot and not feel a thing.\n \nIn your mother's case, I suggest strongly that her physician be alerted to her situation.  There are other anodynes that can be tried (an anodyne is a painkiller).  It's odd that not even morphine relieves her pain, which suggests that drug should simply not be given her anymore.  There is such a thing as drug tolerance, in which the person needs more and more of the drug to come anywhere near the sought-after relief.  In the case of an opiate like morphine, there are complications that can be life-threatening.  \n\nThere are worthwhile alternatives that should be offered your mother.  But the doc has to be made aware of her ongoing discomfort.  There are doctors who are pain specialists; if hers is not one of these, your mother is within her rights to ask for a referral to one.


i've been an athlete my entire life and took up mtn biking in a serious way about 3-4 years ago. i absolutely love the sport--it requires strength and balance, and in my area we get to see some absolutely fantastic scenery and wildlife (sf bay area). the sport has kept me in very good shape. lastly, there is a very strong sense of community among mtn bikers which i also really enjoy. we do group rides all the time, all over the place. and if you are into gear, well that's another story!


What if they eat too much everyday but burn it off by exercise, and stay slim, is that ok?

Why only Christians???---Eating too much is harmful for Everyone\n\nWe in India also think that eating too much hinders spiritual progress. I wouldn't use the word 'sin' though\n\nIf you are exercising and feel energetic, that should be okay then, but at the same time do think about the long term after effects of 'over eating'


I'm recently working on getting divorced & my credit was badly damaged because of that. My bank is working with me to help me recover, but I am looking for a basic credit card, not necessairily a large line of credit, and one with REASONABLE fees and interest rates.  Also, looking for credit repair services that really work and that areasonably priced.

I would to have to say honestly  that I wouldn't do that if I were  you. I would not go in that direction. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when the bill  comes in for that  credit card(s) start coming in cause in the long run you will have you self A NICE  BIG FAT HOLE DUG AND it will take a long time to dig your way out, and then it will take you a much longer time to really get  any kind of credit and NOT JUST  WITH  A BANK . My husband & I did it once with a gas card thought we were smart . In  the long haul of it all it took forever to pay it off cause IT'S LIKE HAVING ONE OF THOSE REVOLVING  accounts  &  when the bill arrives, IT   COME  IN WITH LARGE FEES  AND percentages attached TO THEM too !!   It may take awhile to rebuild your credit with you being single but you would be better off waiting awhile than to put yourself into that kind of debit especially with a divorce  and all. BE PATIENT AND WAIT THAT'S MY ADVICE. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU would be very happy if you put yourself in that kind of debt !!

Use some toothpaste . It really works !Wont scratch either . There is another kind of creme called Mothers Mag and we use it on our Harley Davidson to bring out the shine .

If I go to spend time with my dad, who is also grieving, what do we do....I just don't know what to do. Has anyone else had to deal with a situation like this. My dad is old..I am 36..My mom passed away suddenly...we never expected for her to leave us so soon...any help would be appreciated...forget the points.

I'm sorry about your loss. I lost my mother 2 1/2 months ago and will soon be going through a first mother's day without her. Because Mom was such a jokester and loved life to the fullest, when our spirits droop and tears threaten us, we share memories of something she did or said that made us laugh at the time. It's what she'd want to see within the family.. not alot of depressed and unhappy loved ones mourning her loss. It's really ok to laugh and smile.. dont spend too much time grieving over her loss, rejoice that you were blessed enough to know her as long as you did. Get the picture albums out and remember those things that made you smile and laugh. It's a great connection and keeps the memories strong of the woman you both loved so dearly.


The one where energy is lever lost once inputted into it, equaling to infinite energy?

The highest critical temperature (Tc) for a superconductor achieved so far is: 150 K (-123 C) for a certain unknown (unconfirmed) phase of InSnBa4Tm3Cu5Ox material (February 2005). \nSee: http://superconductors.org/InSn_Tm3.htm\nHowever, the confirmed value of highest Tc (without pressure) is: 138 K (-135 C) for \n(Hg0.8Tl0.2)Ba2Ca2Cu3O8.33 superconductor. For a list of superconductors and their Tc's, see: http://superconductors.org/type2.htm\n[With pressure, Tc can be increased upto about 160 K.]\nNow the second part of your question: 'Energy is not lost' doesn't mean that it increases (and increases to infinity!). It means there is no resistive or other losses of energy, so the (electrical) energy in a superconductor can remain there for an infinite period of time (at least theoretically)!

You have heard of the New Jersey Devils Hockey Team right? Well what few people outside of the state of NJ know is that the name of the team is based on an old myth some 200 or so years ago.

He was cursed and became this horrible devil-like creature that haunts the Pine Barrens of South Jersey to this day. \nThis link can probably shed more light on the subject than I could. \nhttp://theshadowlands.net/jd.htm

The Republicans want to give Americans $100 gasoline rebate checks to satisfy people over high gasoline pries.  I guess they think we really are stupid.

You hit the nail on the head.  The Republicans think we are all stupid.  What I find really great is all the ideas the Republicans are coming up with now, the Democrates proposed years ago.  Remember when the Republicans laughed at Jimmy Carter for wanting Americans to conserve and use alternative fuels.  If we listed to Carter and did something about oil back then we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.  We wouldn't be fighting for control of the oil in Iraq and we wouldn't have such a high deficit in our tresuary now.  Republicans are so short sighted and not really too intelligent.  They see money and forget about using any common sense.  They believe the rest of America will get excited over $100 like they would.

im a DUDE well in my life soem bad things happened to me and my family. i am now a good person i used to be bad do wrong well sence i go sent to jail i had a change of heart. and now im good i help people alot i mean alot i give clothes advice i try to help people alot. i even sacrifice you know but also the same people i help they betray me alot. talk about me treat me bad or says rude comments. or do things that hurt my feelings even girls that im so so nice to hurt my feelings alot say im ugly or something i want to become a comedian. and i wanted to find myself im i to just let them do this or get my pay back and tell them its not right. i dont know what to do they hurt my feelings alot and act like its nothing. then i say well im going to school and be the old mean me but i cant. they are two sides to me the nice caring person then the wise cracking take no shit kind of guy. but im scared to take up for my self and make them feel as bad or tell them its not right casue i did wrong

being a comedian and a good hearted person is fine. Just because people make fun of you or say bad things about you doesnt mean that you have to do the same thing to them. I think if you keep the good heart that you have you will have great rewards. People who say bad things about you are only jealous because your better than they are...you have good heart and they dont. Also you said you dont say much to stick up for yourself..you dont have to. just dont let them see that they get to you. just stand up straight and smile and say oo hmm i never knew that, then walk away.If you know you have a good heart dont let those people change you because people are cruel everywhere you go...remember you used to be like that. So be different be nice because we need more people like that!


I am surprised when the nearby antenna tower (>200' tall and on high ground in the area) is not struck by lightning when a severe thunderstorm comes by and there are lightning strikes in lower lying areas all around.  It is so high in the air and I'm sure is grounded.  I was wondering if it is in fact acting as a ground for the static in a passing storm and thus preventing lightning strikes in its immeadiate vicinity.  Is that correct? Or is it just a coincidence that a storm comes by and doesn't strike it?

No. All such high towers are normally equipped with a an anti-lightening device, that grounds (or earths) any negative ions in the air around it, before it causes lightening. In a way, you can say it diffuses lightening, the same way a leaked live wire is earthed by the third pin on the socket before causing shock.


BE SPECIFIC. What machines do you do. Also the order in which you do them. What do you reccomend.

First, I meet with my personal trainer and discuss my diet options and what fats I can cut back on. Then, I do four sets of twenty crunchs to tone my stomach and then I work out with an exercise ball for half an hour. After that, I like to run for the remaing part of my hour and a half at the gym. Somedays though, I just lift weights to tone my arms and do yoga to help me unwind.\nJ'adore,\nConnie


Ok I have been crushing on boys that are blond lately.My cousin and I saw the sandlot 2(a movie) and the guy who was blond was soooo cute after that i went to the mall and this blond guy about 15 was cute. I dont know why but guys that have green eyes and are blond attract me.I was passing by the park and this other blond guy was cute too.\nI like the celebrety Jesse Mcartney because hes cute and blond is it natural or am i just blinded by blondes .

You are  attracted to a physical design that somewhere you grew accustome too it will pass when you look a personalities and security.  Or you may just be attracted to blondes for life either way there is nothing wrong with it just dont ruel out all men


One of my closest guy friends recently asked this girl out, even though a week before that he flirted with me shamelessly and touched my arm and hugged me a lot. He then went alost a week without speaking to me, but now today after I didn't pay attention to either of them he was later IM'ing me and he sounded really insecure about this girl, asking me if I thought she was nice or whatnot, if I liked her, and saying how I was like his best friend and we should hang out more. He also told me everything like how he asked the girl out and she said meybe, then told me right away once she said yes and such... All day he I had caught him looking at me way more than usual though. I've REALLY liked this guy for almost a year now, and I was wondering what might be going on here, because I seriously have no clue weather he likes me or the chick hes going out with... Anybody might be able to decode this dude for me...?

ah, men...... when we women like/love someone for that long, any type of body language or gestures he makes can seem like it's a sign the he likes you. i fell for my best friend last year and it took me a year to get over it after he got a GF. he still doesn't know till this day. i think that your friend really values your friendship, but i wouldn't say that there is much more to it. however, some men can have the perfect woman in font of him and not see her. you are probably really hott and intelligent, maybe what he is looking for in a wife, and is therefore subconsciously overlooking you because he is not ready to give up is his fun with the scandalous ones! tell him how you feel, it's much better for your emotional health

I'm currently playing Pokemon Emerald with my emulator on my computer right now, but I was wondering whether I did the right thing.  Is it illegal to have copies of GBA games on your computer?

Unless it is realeased by the manufacturer or owner of the game for the internet, yes it is illegal. If you made your own roms, ie figured out how to take the game from the gameboy to your comptuer yourself, it is not illegal as long as you dont put it up on the internet.

I think that Ralph Nader will try to run for President in 2008 as an independent and not for the Green Party.

I sure hope so.\nThe "Nader Effect" has foiled the Dems run at the White House for two elections now. When are they going to learn that when they isolate the far left to centrist factions of their party....those folks always rebel and vote Green or Indy. If the Dems ever got the BALZZ to come back to their roots as a party....they wouldn't have to contend with the "Nader Effect".\nThe best Dems to do this in 2008 in my opinion are Bill Richardson- Gov of NM, or Mike Gravel- former Sen from AK.\nCheck em out!!!

I am making an easter egg hunt for my boyfirend. I am going to put jelly beans and chocolate as well as quarters in some eggs. I wanted to write some silly and some romatice notes to enclose also. What are you suggestions of things I could write?

It may sound corny but make it more of a hunt for a bigger prize (hint, hint). Use silly little clues and things that lead him to the main attraction. It worked for me last year and he was so suprised.

is there any way to invest in the stocks of different country with only one account?\nIf yes, which Bank provide such product?

Of course, your question depends which country you are in.  I'll assume U.S., but if it is somewhere else, the answer will be different.  In the U.S. you can always buy shares of some of the larger stocks if they have ADR's issued.  I've provided a link for the BNY ADR list.\n\nBut to trade any stocks, whether U.S. or foreign, you want an account with a broker, such as Ameritrade or Scottrade, not with a bank normally.  A lot of banks do have some ability to offer brokerage services, but they're usually not the best resources for that.


Now Chinese government has the largest foreign reserve. They have the largest amount of foreign currencies, mainly US dollors. Their GDP is expected to surpass that of Japan in ten years and surpass that of US in fifteen years or so. Do Americans know this reality? It seems to me that US press are hiding the reality. It seems that US is not looking at this in realistic way.

You have it backwards. China isn't ready to compete with us.\n\nSeriously, do you think we became a Superpower through blundering along? We know China's there, and China isn't a threat in any real way but nuclear.\n\nGive them fifty more years, then we'll talk.


I'd imagine it refers to a flash exhibited in a particle detector in certain circumstances - more precisely, when the interaction between a neutrino and pure water produces a particle moving faster than the local speed of light.  In this case, Cerenkov radiation is produced, in the form of a small ring of light which is detected by the photomultiplier tubes.  The 'telltale flash' in question.\n\nFor a bit more info, search for 'SuperKamiokande' and see what you turn up.


Tomorrow will be one step closer to Armageddon when Iran must decide what they will do.  What do you think the US will do when Iran says that they will go ahead with their nuclear program??? Or what should we do.

I don't think Iran will back down and we will probably strike Iran with possible the help of Israel. I think that probably won't happen for several months until all else fells. This could be the start of the tribulation.

i love my boyfriend VERY much & we've been together for a year and a half. but his parents have hated me since the first time i met them. i met them about a year ago, and i was really shy at the time, which gave them a bad empression. his parents really emphasize respect. i dont mind doing it because i respect them, but sometimes i show respect in different ways that they dont consider respectful. my boyfriend and i are deeply in love and it hurts me that his parents dont like me. what should i do?

Don't worry they will die before you, so you will have a good score or so of relief...


singer in the 70s and 80s perhaps 90s also I dont remember.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Squire Squier played a special acoustic show at BB King's in NYC on November 30, 2005. Highlights of the show were acoustic versions of "Everybody Wants You", "Nobody Knows", "Learn How to Live", "The Stroke", "Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You", and most of the 1998 Happy Blue CD. VH1 Classic and New York classic rock icon introduced Squier that night, describing him as "one of the great singer/songwriters in the history of rock."\n\nSquier now lives in New York's Upper West Side. Sampling of "The Big Beat" continues. The late Jam Master Jay's reference to the song as a classic beat in the early days of hip hop has paid great dividends for Squier. Jay Z's "99 Problems," a massive hit in 2004, is based on that beat for which Squier receives royalties.\n\nSquier's hobbies include such disparate activities as mountain climbing and gardening. He also has written an award-winning screenplay (Sundance Film Festival).\n\nIn 2006, Squier joined Rod Argent, Richard Marx, Edgar Winter, and Sheila E touring with Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band.

I mean this guy that I like broke up with his girlfriend and then he and I fooled around(no sex) LOL.  Even after we stopped...we still talked and he told me that he may try and get back with his ex.  The problem is that one week he wants her and then next week he doesn't.  Im so confused because I like him alot, and I think he does have some type of feeling for me, but I just don't know what to do.  I know I should let go, but I can't right now and I just want to be sure of my future with him

Sweetie, Sweetie, Sweetie!  Leave that man alone, please!  If you "FOOL AROUND" with a guy and then he wants to go back with his ex, then he's not serious about you!  Find a guy who you can fool around with(no sex)LOL not just one time.  I mean really...you aren't a toy he can pick up when he wants, and then put back when he wants to play with his ex.\n\nThink more of yourself than that, dear...there is just too many fish in that big, big, big ocean out there!\n\nHappy Fishing


why do i trip out over small things. for example my best friend goes out without telling me. or when someone doesnt like my personality. n shit like dat

I have a new Gateway PC and I am trying to back up the data on my hard-drive and I cannot find any way to do this. Normally I back up through an external hard-drive but mine is broken. The computer cannot connect to the internet. It has a broken wireless card and has no access to an ethernet connection. \nI want to format my hard drive and cannot until my data is safe.

The best way is either you make a data backup using the Windows Backup Utility and burn a CD or DVD or use the Norton Ghost Utility and burn a Cd or DVD for easy back up and data retrival.

there is no popular election process.  chinese leaders are chosen internally by the government.  The government is controlled by the country's only political party, the CCP (Chinese communist party), so you could say that the Party chooses.

I will be working at a Christian summer camp this summer and i need go bible verses or stories for young kids. I dont want the lesson of the story to go over their heads

I know it's probably not the sort of thing you're looking for, but when I was 6, my father read the Old Testament book of Job to me, and I found it truly fascinating. I couldn't wait until school was out, and he'd read me the next installment. I had him tell me the story of Job over and over again.\n\nThe Old Testament story of Joseph and his coat of many colors (or Jonah and the whale) might be a hit. There are tons of great Old Testament stories. The walls of Jericho coming down is a good story, too. And don't forget Noah's Ark.\n\nFor the New Testament perspective, the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand might work. If the kids are sharp, they might like hearing about Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus. Any of the healing stories with Jesus could get their attention (the raising of Jairus' daughter, etc).


how do i go about doing that? They are probably from bakersfield

Try peoplesearch.com they have all sorts of info on everyone, even "YOU". Births, deaths, marriage, school, work history, addresses and yes CRIMINAL RECORDS, If you are prepared to pay for it.


they always look at him,but can they understand what he is saying?

I honestly don't think anyone can say for certain. I have wondered the same exact thing. Sometimes Lois, and really only  Lois, responds to him, but it's always along the lines of "Ohhh is someone hungry/sleepy?" I tend to believe only Brian understands him or at least he's the only person who listens to him, at the least. Great question.


Oh, and what do you think "The Monster" is?

Awesome, frustrating show.\n\nThe monster - hmm. I think they are being treated for an 'illness', so it's their psychiatrist.

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist. 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.


Im mexican but my mom is mixed with white and I hang out with mexicans at school but they make fun of me and call me whitey and they make fun of my spanish and I think I speak it fine What should i do?

Hang out with other people.  If they don't respect you, they don't deserve YOUR respect.


what are some books that i can read to pick up on it? thanks.

Applied chemistry is something I studied for 4 years. I also studied Highschool education.\n\nProblem is that many textbooks are biased to certain areas such as health, ultimately the best way to learn more about applied chemistry is to study it in a university that is known for teaching it well...\nIf you are unsure if you want to study it then I recommend visiting the university and asking at reception of the chemistry department if you can have a short chat with the lecturer, a good lecturer will be happy to tell you which books they use.\n\nThe main issue with Applied chemistry is that is actually about a method of thinking rather than an actual subject. It is where you use your knowledge of chemistry and apply it to real life situations. Rather than memorising a list of elements, what is more important is being able to know how to use those elements, where to use them, what to use them with.\nIn essence it is learnt only through practice in both real life and laboratories, not books.\n\nOne book that caught my eye and is good for final year secondary students would be:\n\nKatherine J. Denniston, J.J.T, Robert L. Caret 2004, "General, Organic, and Biochemistry, 4th ed, McGraw-Hill, Sydney.\n(a book used by university first year Health science students as a link of chemistry and health)\n\n\n\nAs a warning to potential aplied chemists... i can no longer drink a cup of tea without considering the numerous reactions, phase changes and substances that interact in the cup and then with my body. Hope you are willing to change your outlook on the world like that.


The Royal family has certainly done a bang-up job to convince everyone that Royalty is an awful idea. For all the money the Royal family reportedly receives from the UK taxpayers, you would think there would be some way of keeping some sort of leash on them, especially when the nation is involved in a not too terribly popular war.\n\nNot that we are all that much better. During the Hostage Crisis, Billy Carter was photographed peeing on the tarmac at Dulles Airport. You have the whole Reagan family either prancing around or posing topless or saying that they hate each other. You have Barbara Bush, who was always much more popular than her husband, saying that black people should be happy to be able to live in the Oiler Dome. Don't even get me started on the Clintons from both sides of the family. And of course, who can forget the Bush twins?\n\nMaybe ... naw!

Ive been on an antibiotic for three days now. I have experienced burning when I wipe and brownish stuff when I wipe or look at my pantyliner. Im also on birth control *second month*...could what I am seeing *the burning and discoloration* be either break through bleeding or a side effect to the medicine? *The burning throws me for a loop*. I dont think its a bladder infection because Im pressing on it and its not hurting and Im not peeing out of the norm.

antibiotics are known to give women yeast infections....eat yogurt to help prevent that from happening...breakthrough bleeding is possible...check with a doctor..or if your insurance has a nurse help line you could always call that number.

i have a piercing in each ear...and i want one on the top of my ear. is there a safe way to do it yourself...\n\nalso, if you have pierced something youself tell me about it...

Anything can happen if you do a piercing at home. I highly advise against this practice. Since you do not have the proper equipment to sterilize or even to perform the piercing, any number of things could go wrong--including serious risk of infection. Go someplace professional and have it done. Sure you may pay a little bit of money for it, but in the long run you will save money--if you did it yourself and got it infected, you'd have a lot of money tied up in doctor bills and medicines. Not worth it!


What is the minimum area through such a triangle?

If the x and y axis are forming two of the sides of the triangle, the truangle is right angled so the area of the triangle will be 1/2 * base * height\n\nThe line through (3,2) therefore has to meet the x axis and the y axis to complete the triangle shape. \n\nConsider the gradient of the line = -1. The line would cut the x axis at (5,0) and the y at (0,5), making the triangle 0.5 * 5 * 5 = 12.5 units squared\n\nConsider gradient = -a. We'd have intersects at (3-2/a,0) and (0,2-3/a). The area of the triangle would be:\n\n0.5 * (3-2/a) * (2-3/a)\n= 0.5 * (6 - 4/a - 9/a + 6/a²)\n= 0.5 * (6 - 13/a + 6/a²)\n= 0.5 * (6a² - 13a + 6) ---- (multiply everything by a²)\n\nNow solve for minimum a by differentiating:\n\nd/da = 0.5 * (12a - 13)\n\nReaches a minimum when d/da = 0 :\n\n0 = 6a - 6.5\n6.5 = 6a\na = 1.086666\n\nNow put that back into our area equation, we get:\n\n= 0.5 * (3-2/a) * (2-3/a)\n= 11.556\n-------------


that is to get job and work with?mean white collar jobs

Any type of education is good for women. \n\nThe question really is, what are YOU interested in learning? Do you want to start a career, or explore a personal interest?\n\nIf you are interested in "white collar" jobs, you will need to get at least an Associate's Degree from your local college or university. \n\nMost colleges have a career self-inventory you can take, to see which type of job you really are interested in. Go to the Admissions office at your nearest college, and ask them about this. They can also help you with financial aid, if you need it.\n\nBelieve in yourself, girl!


a normal healthy woman whose mother is colorblind and whose father is hemophil got married to a colorblind man,they have a colorblind son and a normal daughter.(IS IT POSSIBLE? YES OR NO? EXPLAIN!)

Yes.  The woman is heterozygous for colorblindness (mutant from mom, normal from dad).  Since colorblindness is sex-linked recessive (i.e. carried on the x-chromosome, so males only have one copy and females have two), the son inherited the mutant allele from his mother, and non from his father.  The daughter inherited the normal allele for color vision from her mom and the mutant from her dad.  Since colorblindness is recessive, she has normal color vision.\n\nThe woman is also a carrier for hemophilia (mutant from dad, normal from mom).  The daughter would be normal no matter what unless her dad has hemophilia because she gets a normal allele from him.  She could be a carrier or could be homozygous dominant.  The son inherited the normal allele from his mom, and nothing from his dad.\n\nBy the way, contrary to the previous answer, both colorblindness and hemophilia are sex-linked _recessive_ traits.  And expression of a given allele does not "skip a generation," no matter what; it is always the result of the combination of alleles, not whether the gene was expressed in the previous generation.\n\n__________\nThat's interesting, because my textbook from AP bio states, "color-blindness is a mild disorder inherited as a sex-linked trait," but maybe you know something that the professors who wrote my textbook do not?  There's also the minor detail that both my AP bio teacher last year and my genetics professor this year used colorblindess as an example of a sex-linked trait.  And for what it's worth, Wikipedia states, "the genes for the red and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome."\n\nAutosomal traits are, by definition, not sex-influenced, as autosomal means carried on any chromosome other than the sex choromosomes.


I've heard, 'The devil's greatest trick was convincing all the people that his name is God'. God certainly makes people do awfull things aswell as good things e.g. Christian USA bullying countries that are not christian, and Muslim countries attacking back.

I know Lucifer made a move to take heaven and was thrown out. I know he was condemmed to the world in the bowls of the earth, Hell.\nBut what i think happened was this: Until that day god thought people just worshipped him with undying faith, but now saw that this was not true, that a person might choose to turn against him if they ever got the will to do so. \nSo god turned to the fallen angel Lucifer and basically said this: you want a kingdom then take Hell you will rule it and all you have to do is test the faith of man. If their faith proves true they will earn heaven, if not they will come to hell and you will punish them for eternity.\nLucifer may have been aggorent, but i know arrogence. when arrogent people are beaten it knocks them down a peg or two. So he agreed to god proposal.\nThe basic theory is this:\nLucifer, satan, the devil, whatever, is not evil. He is just doing the job he was given: to test the faith of man to see if they are worthy of heaven. What do you think?

You are correct, according to the book of mythology, Satan is God's fall guy and just doing what he is told to do, and that is tempt humans to turn away from the one true God. He changed  his name to Jesus and has had outstanding success in the Christian community.\n\n\nThe bible is the greatest work of fiction ever told, full of drama, suspense, intrigue, sex & violence. Why do you think so many have been sold?


I am 5'4'' and 170 lbs.\nI do cardio every day, yoga 1 day a week walk 3-5 times a day at work. I also eat very healthy and only drink water. I am not loosing any weight, any feedback? Any Tips?

Eating healthy, consistent exercise and lots of water is the right way to start and are important for a healthy lifestyle but they won't necessarily cause you to lose weight.\n\nTo use exercise to lose weight:\nYour cardio exercise should have your heart rate at a minimum of 80% of maximum which is generally 220 - age\nand maintain that for over 20 minutes. At 20 minutes, your blood glucose level is depleted and your muscles start to burn fat so every minute beyond 20 minutes you are directly burning fat. If you increase your muscle mass, it does increase your weight since muscle is denser than fat but you burn more calories even when you are resting when you have more muscle. \n\nThe last five-ten pounds will not come off so easily however short of starting a fitness plan that has you training for a marathon (running so much that it matters less about much you eat though what you eat will affect performance).

Nope, the Treo will not connect to a wireless network in cafes. For that you will need a device with a wireless LAN card.

A bacterial cell\n(A)has a cell wall like a plant cell\n(B)cannot carry on the chemical processes needed to change food into energy\n(C)contains DNA but has no nucleus\n(D)all of these.\n\nWhat would be the answer.

judging from what i've learned i'd say c. bacteria have cell walls but they are different from a plant's in that they don't have two layers. also there are heterotrophic bacteria.


no i was going to but when i went shopping and found a size small was too big i changed my mind!!!!!!!


im jw who thinks bush is a good president

You have your opinion.  But truth, he is not!! He steals, and kills innocent people.  He blames 9/11, god, and his beliefs for blowing up poor defenseless people.  He cut taxes!  Do you know what that did?? I'm a kid and my school can't pay for a librarian, we have to fund for BOOKS, COMPUTERS, ELECTRICITY.  There is little justice in our city because we can't pay for fireman, police officers, or hospitals and there staff.  You know why??????  Because they are paid with taxes, now that taxes have gone down, we can't pay for schools, and the city government, or even roads.  There are pot holes everywhere and we can't pay  to have them fixed.  Did you know two schools in our town were closed down after taxes were cut? Now you do... Oh yes, and I bet you know how Bush keeps getting richer...(he isn't getting taxed!!!!!!!!!)  Remember, I'm a kid, how can I know more of this going around than most of you guys??  We don't even have a sports program, our band was cancelled and our P.E. classes are turning out to be videos.  In fact most supplies are bought with the little money teachers have because the school can't pay for it, because taxes were cut.  Bush knows he made bad decisions, so why isn't he confessing it??  Adults teach kids to do that!! His parents didn't obviously.\nSo anyway, why do YOU think he's a good president??

ANSWER : 25 square units.\n\n---------------------------------\n\nFirst off, draw a picture. \nSo, you have one point on the (0,0), one on the x-axis, one on the y-axis, and one on the diagonal line.\n\nLet's call the length of the horizontal line segment of the rectangle w.\n\nThe other side will then be (10-w).\n\nSo, the area of the rectangle is A = w*(10-w).\n\nIf you graph this, there is a maximum at the point (5,25), so 25 is the max area.\n\nTo verify this, take the derivative of A with respect to w, and set equal to zero.\nA' = 10 - 2w = 0\n2w = 10\nw = 5\nA = 5(5) = 25


what is the difference between absorption and emission spectra??

Isolated atoms can absorb and emit packets of electromagnetic radiation having discrete energies dictated by the detailed atomic structure of the atoms. When the corresponding light is passed through a prism or spectrograph it is separated spatially according to wavelength.\n\nThe corresponding spectrum may exhibit a continuum, or may have superposed on the continuum bright lines (an emission spectrum) or dark lines (an absorption spectrum). \n\nThus, emission spectra are produced by thin gases in which the atoms do not experience many collisions (because of the low density). The emission lines correspond to photons of discrete energies that are emitted when excited atomic states in the gas make transitions back to lower-lying levels.\n\nAn absorption spectrum occurs when light passes through a cold, dilute gas and atoms in the gas absorb at characteristic frequencies; since the re-emitted light is unlikely to be emitted in the same direction as the absorbed photon, this gives rise to dark lines (absence of light) in the spectrum.

Wikipedia is  very good place to start. (link below)


think about the effect of these explossions on earth span, climate change, global warming, tsunamies, huricanes...\nshould we let this happen?

obviously the effects will be huge, depending on the number of atomic bombs that is used at the worst case scenario the spin of the earth will change because the atomic bombs release so much energy. so earth could fall out of its orbit. 2 things could happen either  an Ice age or everything is going to be melted!\nin this case i don't think anyone would survive, not even president Bush

Andre is not one of them. Each barber is paid $9.90 and hour and works a 40 hour week and a 50 week year, regardless of the number of haircuts. Rent and other fixed expenses are $1,750 per month. Hair shampoo used on all clients is.40 per client. Assume that the only service performed is the giving of hair cuts, the unit price of which is $12. Andre has asked you to find the fallowing information. 1. Find the contribution margin per haircut. Assume that the barbers compensation is a fixed cost. Show calulations to support your answer.2. Determine the annual break even point, in the number of haircuts. Support your answer with an appropriate explination. Show calulations to support your answer.3. What will be the operating income if 20,000 haircuts are performed? Show calulations to support your answer.4. Suppose Andre revises the compensation method. The barbers will recieve $4 per hour plus $6 for each haircut. What is the new contribution margain per haircut? What is the break even?

1. Contribution margin = revenue - variable costs\n= $12 - $0.40 = $11.60.\n\n2. Annual Break Even Point.\nFixed Costs = Workers + Rent\n5 workers * $9.90 * 40 * 50 + $1750 * 12 = $99,000 + $21,000 = $120,000\n\n120000 / 11.6 = 10,345 Haircuts.\n\n3. Operating Income = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses\n20,000 * $11.4 - $120,000 = $108,000\n\n4. Contribution margin = revenue - variable costs\n= $12 - $6 - $0.40 = $5.60\nBreak Even:\nFixed Costs = Workers + Rent\n5 workers * $4 * 40 * 50 + $1750 * 12 = $40,000 + $21,000 = $61,000\n\n61000 / 5.6 = 10,893 Haircuts


The muslims in our countrys do you think we treat them to harsh because other muslims have done wrong.

I think people look at all muslims in the same light as the extreme muslims which is sad. It is understandable why but we don't look at all white people the same and there are alot that are bad eggs. I don't think all muslims are treated harsh more likely they are watched and analysed.

out that he's still officially married! i've been trying everything i can to escape him-haven't seen him for two months, but he is constantly on my mind. hate that he made me fall for him by falsely leading me on. he keeps leaving messages that he's getting divorced, i obviously don't believe him, it's so cliche. how on earth do i get my head over this guy? [ps was the best sex in the world too. that stopped soon asi found out he was married]

Talk to his wife. If he is getting divorced he may not be the dream guy you think he is anyway. Also I guarentee if you talked to his wife and he knew he would either get teh divorce sooner (freeing him up) or say some really nasty things to you and break your addiction to him.

Earnings are reported on a 1099-misc form in box 3 "Other Income". I have no other sources of income besides small interest payments on savings and CDs (i.e. no W2). I am concerned that since my income is not "compensation" for services that I cannot contribute to the IRA since I have no "compensation" income.

This depends solely on the terms of your fellowship. I invested student loans while doing my undergraduate, made a7.5% return on them while paying for school on a 0% interest credit card each year. I paid off the loans at no interest (because I only took out the $8500 max each year from the feds) and made a pile in interest.

How is everybody?  No, that is not the question.  My question is anyone who is in or been through college know are you suppose to get everything right of bat or does/might it take a few years to get the just of what you are being taught?

I am done with college and what I learned is that you need to learn how to learn.  Learning how to learn is about learning what techniques work for you and what don't.  You won't get everything right off the bat, but that doesn't mean that you cant get it.  Sometimes it takes longer for you to understand, but once you get your base, you'll be off and running.

Then I click it and it brings me back to the top of the flash document, so i have to scroll bad down.  but then it finally works.  how do i fix this...or can you at least tell me how it started?

Anything helps. Bike brand, Gear, Helmets, Tips on Extremely angled slopes. Etc...

absolutely wear a helmet...and gloves which protect your hands from getting all scraped up in a fall-they are the first thing you put down, reflex action.\n\nin general on descents it's really important to keep your weight back...the opposite of on climbs where your weight needs to go forward. lots of mtn bikers actually lower their seat on descents to help sit back and to get even more weight down and back. but you have to stay balanced of course.\n\nas for bike brands, there are tons of good ones. you need to have a budget in mind and what type of riding you will be doing and we can help from there.\n\nin any case it's a fantastic sport!

Do they have all of the finalists try on jackets to see which one will fit or do they just tell someone their size?\n\nWhere does the tradition of the green jacket come from?\n\nWho keeps the jackets?

No, the winner wears a previous winners jacket that fits, until they have one made and fitted to him.  The tradition comes from Bobby Jones, the green jacket, when the masters began was the winners "trophy".  Augusta keeps all champions jackets, they are not allowed to leave the grounds.

ok and night i turned on my computer then i went to the kitchen to get myself a drink then i come back the i see a error message saying the its was unable to find runshell.exe that i need to reinstall windows is there anything to fix this problem i really need help on fixing this help me pls?

my elder bro is a professional user of windows98,2000,xp,longhorn etc, and when i asked himhe said that this problem can be fixed.\nthis problem always caused due to unproper shut down or deleting system files.to do it right you have to copy the same file from another's window. and then paste into the same directory of yours.\nwindows98 is favourite in peoples and beginners but it creatts a lot of problems like ur error. so bro u might install the xp. specially windows xp professional 2000. it might not coast any danger to ur pc also.\nhoping this will help! but xp is best (defined version).

The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. The website in question is related to the Doctor Who episode "World War III" from 2005, where the Doctor's companion's boyfriend, Mickey, had to hack into the UNIT website and fire a missile at 10 Downing Street, where the evil Slitheen were housed. UNIT stands for United Nations Intelligence Taskforce and is an international organisation set up to combat threats from Earth and beyond, and the third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) was its scientific advisor between 1970 and 1974.

We work in the same place , from the first day for me in the work i felt that this person is diffrent than others , I began to love him , but I don't know what does he feel towards me , only a work mate or more ? his eyes say that he loves me , sometimes i turn accidently and find out that he was looking at me , then he smiles and looks somewhere else , he keeps buying sweets and biscuites to me , but i didn't hear this word yet , I love you , I had a bad experience and a broken heart before , i don't wanna go through this again , how can i know his feelings ? I feel so confused and really don't know what to do , can anybody help me ?

the only thing i can tell you, and after youve been through a bad hurt, this is hard to see, but, i have had several, and life would not be worth living without love, and that may just sound like a saying, but it wouldnt, your not happy now, and obviously, its because you dont have love, and you will never be happy in life standing outside the fire, you need to let this guy know that your interested, live life, you will have tons of regrets if you have to go on wondering if something could have happened between you.


A court convicted a young Turkish man Thursday of murdering his sister in what prosecutors described as an "honor killing" meant to punish the woman for her Western lifestyle.\n\nAyhan Surucu, who was 18 at the time of the February 2005 fatal shooting of his sister, Hatun, was sentenced as a juvenile to nine years and three months in prison. Now 20, he had faced a maximum 10-year sentence.\n\n\nThe court acquitted his two older brothers who had also been charged with murder.\n\nHatun Surucu, a 23-year-old divorced mother, was killed by three shots to her head on a Berlin street.\n\nThe case outraged Germans and brought to light the problem of "honor killings" among the nation's 2.6 million Turkish residents. The killings are typically committed by men against female relatives, usually over suspected sexual misconduct, to preserve family honor.\n\nBerlin's top security official, Ehrhart Koerting, said the court case was a step toward cementing a "change in mentality" in the fight against domestic

Well, first, sentences for homicides are generally much shorter under German law than under American laws. The maximum sentence is usually around 15 years. (So really, it isn't "lax" German courts, it is the law...) One has to wonder why the German homicide rate is a mere fraction of our own.\nAs far as the culturally based episode, I think that what is happening on a far greater scale (but which isn't the topic of news articles) is that Turkish people in Germany are becoming less "Turkish" and more "German". Of course, because the vast majority of Turkish immigrants to Germany come from the very conservative rural areas of Turkey, there are still a lot of very old-fashioned ways of thinking that tend to be preserved. Unexpectedly perhaps, one sees more of these old fashioned elements, for example head scarves, in Berlin than in Istanbul. One of the large issues facing Germany today, and I think this situation is related, is the strong hesitance toward integration of this Turkish population into German society. By now, you have the third, and soon the fourth, generation of Turkish "guest workers" living in Germany. A young Turkish person whose grandfather moved to Germany, whose Turkish parents were born there, and who was himself born there is still not German. German law grants citizenship only by virtue of blood, not place of birth. True, recent reforms to the laws have begun to address this issue, but the fact remains, Turkish people remain outside of "German society." Therefore, these rogue elements of culture tend to exist far longer than they would if "Turkish" people were more fully integrated into "German" society.\nThis young woman's death is a great tragedy; I think you realize that such "honor" killing goes on throughout southern and eastern Asia, particularly in regions where education and political opportunities are limited. It would be to our own discredit if we ignored it until it happens here in the west.


The printer has not worked since we bought it.  The software is all loaded and says printer busy when you try to send a job so it is definitely a hardware problem.  The error comes up as soon as the printer is turned on "CLEAR CARRIER JAM" and it's impossible to proceed...

Try unplugging it from the wall, this will reset all errors.  If it still says the message, try opening up different areas too reseting the message.  Dell aka Lexmark has had many problems such as this one and depending how old it is trash it if can't fix problem.  The cost of fixing will be too much, buy a epson or hp.  good luck!


I've been talking to this guys for about 9 months. I kinda believe he is who he says he is. But maybe he's just realllly good at posing. Just recently he's asked me to meet up with him.  Do you think he's claiming to be a celebrity just to meet girls, or could he be telling the truth?\nHas anyone met a celebrity online? Is their some way to know if they are who they say they are?

No I haven't, but if you do decide to meet him, take someone with you, and meet in a public place.


People always say eating 6 meals or frequent meals a day will increase weight loss and improve results. I want to know what they eat, and what the intervals are. I also want to know how much they lose week by doing it.

ABSOLUTELY! I swear by it. I had tried every diet and fitness plan under the sun with little to no result. Then I tried the Abs diet (which i saw in Men's health magazine of all places... I'm a female) and i've gotten spectacular results. It doesn't feel like a diet at all. I eat more (6 times a day) and exercise less than I have with other plans and will remain with it for life. Don't believe that six meals a day aren't doable either. I work full time, go to school, am 45 years old and a single mom and I manage it just fine. You can too. Keep in mind that the 6 meals are specific and healthy foods. Not eating whatever you like 6 times a day.

Hi, i have a weird problem... I am an \nIndian and recently my elder sister eloped from the house with this guy from a different religion ( mind you , in our country religion plays a very big role  and is a great criteria for  our way of life and how people judge  others)\n we  have been in a very weird position as the society has been talking bout us and  giving us bad names... it  will be a great hindrance to my my marriage in the future also... now my sis wants us to accept her... should we accept taking into consideration how she never thought bout u8s when she left everything and her entire family for tht one guy whom she knew barely for a  5 months

You can accept her. Well she has done what she has done, but she is your sister. She has come back to you that means she requires you. Everyone commits mistake. And she hasn't killed anyone. Its time for everyone in society to get matured. Now here is a chance.

Should he look for another , cheat or just spend the rest of his life putting up with it and be satisfied by pleasuring himself ? What realy p*ss me off is that she will b*tch about me watching porn , when she is not around ,and taking the situation in hand so I can get relief . What do you think , am I wrong ?

I don't think watching porn is wrong... I don't always want to have sex with my man, so it would be pretty shady of me to not let him watch porn and do it himself... Tell her that!  I honestly wouldnt go out and cheat...just let her know that you have NEEDS that need to be MET (by HER) and if she cant/wont do it, something bad is gonna happen!  and if that means watching PORN and doing the job urself, it's better than getting it from somebody else.. take it or leave it.


This will be a young + experienced Paraguayan soccer team ever. How far do you think they can go?

They are in Group B, together with England, Sweden and Trinidad & Tobago. My opinion would be that England top the group while Sweden and Paraguay fight for 2nd place, but personally I think Sweden is the more likely one to get there. However if Paraguay manages to edge past Sweden and be 2nd, it will have to face the team that tops Group A, which is most likely Germany. Germany VS Paraguay... So I believe that is the furthest Paraguay will get. But if Paraguay manages to create some upsets that would be fine too. It is always nice to see the powerhouses being outclassed by underdogs. So all the best to Paraguay!


I have been learning english for a long time but I don't feel confident with my english. When I listen to music, I can understand but some parts, not everything, it happens also when I watch a Tv program.

The problem with TV programs, singing and movies is that the communication is only one-way.    \nIt depends whether you want to read, or speak, or both.\nOnce you have learned the basics, avoid language teaching books.\nEnglish language magazines and newspapers are better than books at helping you learn how to read English.  There are also publications by government, as long as they use the Plain English guidelines and avoid complicated legal language.\n\nThe best help to speaking English is regular direct contact with native English speakers.  The two way communication will teach you how they understand you, and will help you improve.\nInsist on speaking English only. \nThe other people must be patient, and prepared to use words naturally and not deliberately speak to try and make it easy for you.\nHave conversations with other English speakers in everyday situations, such as shopping, etc.\n\nUnderstanding each other is the main purpose of communication.\nThere is no correct accent, only the best way to speak for people to understand you.\nDon't worry about accents too much.  It is more important to be conversational than grammatically perfect.

I have just bought new ice skates and am breaking them in, should I justgive it up for now or is this totally possible?

it's probably possible, but start off with the basics and focus on breaking the skates in. after if you can't do your one foot spin, try something else unless you HAVE to do it. otherwise, do another move. maybe one foot spins and work your way up. contact your local rink.(i've been skating since i was four so i should know)

Christians please.\nThere are many Christians that are persecuted in other countries just because of their religion.\nThey are strong enough to stand up for their beliefs despite the hardships they will be forced to go through.\nFreezing rooms, continious labor, starvation.\nThey need our help.\nIn a country where we have the freedom of religion, we have no choice but to save our religious family.\nIntrested? www.persecution.com\nThank you very much.

My friend, I agree with you, yet I also see a more pressing matter at hand. What about those persecutors and all the non-believers? If they die, they will not rejoice with all of us in heaven with the Lord God. I will pray for both the believers and the non-believers. There isn't much I can do from my present state but pray and preach the Word, since i'm not in a position to do anything but that. Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless

There is no quick fix.  You have to make a pemanent change in your lifestyle to keep a healthy physique.  Try this:\nDrink lots of water, jog every other day for 30 minutes and stick to a low fat diet.  I assure you, that hot flabby mess will dissapear.


Runner is on 1rst base. Pitcher attempts a pick off and the ball is over thrown and goes into the dug out... does the runner who is on first get awarded 3rd base?

The above answer is WRONG.  He's looking at the wrong rule!!!\n\nHe's awarded 2nd base.  Rule 7.05(h) One base, if a ball pitched to a batter, or thrown by the pitcher\nfrom his position on the pitcher's plate to a base to catch a runner, goes into a stand or a bench, or over or through a field fence or backstop.\n\nMaybe he should read the rules instead of copying and pasting them.
