People seem to think that I am trying to bash this religion, but that is not so. I just want to know.\nThank you in advance for not bashing them yourself. There is too much hate in here as it is!

Polygamy was originally started because of a revelation from the Lord.  The church had suffered a lot of persecution, and a lot of the men of the church had been killed.  This left a lot of widows, and a lot of single young women with nobody to marry.  So the Lord instituted polygamy, for a few members of the church, who had the means to care for a very large family.  This alowed for the women of the church to be taken care of, and for more children to be born and raised in the church, increasing the membership.  Later, there came a time when the Lord revealed that it should be stopped.  Nobody can know for sure what the Lord's reasons are, but most likely it was because the numbers in the church were reaching the point where they were evening out, and it was no longer necessary, and because the laws of the land were changing, and polygamy was outlawed.  The church teaches that you should follow the laws of the land, and therefore, the Lord told them to discontinue this practice.


and what did you think of it???\nand how long did it take you???\nand are you religous???

I have read it and the following will prove it. These are real people with birth and death time. I love it. I read it 13 times in ten years and about 20 now, as they sa, each time you see what you missed before. I can read through 2 Chronicles in half a day now. I have never tried to describe the probably more than 1000 religions. I wanted to know the bible first and then determine who was right. I did not do that yet, do not except those studied.\n\nMoses began to compile the first five books. It is evident that Abraham was a collector of information.

An old fashioned 78 vinyl record has a diameter of 12 inches.  The outside border is a 1⁄2 inch wide and the distance from there to the central hole is 5 1⁄2 inches.  If you put the needle down at the very edge of the playing area, how far will the needle have traveled by the time the music stops?  You can assume that there are 83 grooves to the inch.

The needle didn't move, the record did.\n\nOh, oh, do I win?


I am in Washington State, I am a struggling insurance agent that wants to know how successful insurance agents are asking "yes" questions to their clients for the sale

I've been an agent for 29 years so maybe I can help.  \n\nFirst off, make sure you know all the ins and outs of your products.  Then, you want to sell to the need.  You need to make the client see and understand why they need the insurance.  Use needs analysis tools that they have to fill out.  When selling to couples, sell to the survivor.  They are the ones who will be left behind.  Sometimes you may start off just selling one particular need, foe example mortgage protection, other times the entire family need.\n\nNever try to over sell them.  It's always good to find out what they can afford first.  Find a plan that best fits their budget.  \n\nLead your client to the yes decision.  Ask questions that have yes answers, for example, "Mr. Client, if you were to die tomorrow, you'd want your family to remain in their home wouldn't you?."\n\nLike everything else, it take practice.  Do a lot of role playing.  Practice handling objections.

1) You occupy a place in the universe (or so you believe). \n2) You can only take up a certain finite portion of the universe at any given time.  \n3) The universe is infinite.\n4) Any number, expressed as a finite fraction of infinity approaches so close to 0 as to be considered 0.\n5) Therefore, since you are occupy a finite space in an infinite world your universal footprint equals 0 and you do not exist.\n6) QED?

Aaaaah... semantics dressed up as logic! Niiice try...\n\nNow I fight back with philosophy...\n\n1. I can't be sure where I am. It (and you) could all be in my  imagination.\n\n2. But given the rather large nature of the Universe, it's as though I never move.\n\n3. Infinity has yet to be proved... and that's just the concept. Whether the Universe is infinite must come much, much later.\n\n4. You assume that infinity is a number when we haven't even proven that it is.\n\n5. Assuming that infinity was real, then the ladder to reach it would start at 1 (the first real number). But even 1 has value no matter how 'large' the value you compare it to. And since infinity is a concept, and math doesn't work with concepts, your last hypothesis is nonsensical in nature.\n\n--\n\nFor the other 'students' here:\nQED = quod erat demonstrandum ("that which was to be demonstrated").


I've heard people tell me that they've gotton blood test, and according to the blood test, they've said that the tests show that they have some "other" race blood in their blood. For example, a Chinese friend took a blood test, and his/her test showed that he/she had some trace of "Korean" & "Japanese" in him/her. Are doctors actually able to prove this? I've been really curious about this topic for sometime. Seems I may as well get a blood test myself, if this is not clarified. I'm still not convinced that a blood test can categorize RACE :/ & I would like to know more... Please help me with research upon this topic.\n\nThanks In Advance >_^

There are certain identifiable characteristics that can be found in some blood samples. The most prominent example is Sickle Cell anemia.  \nThat's just from blood. However, from DNA markers, it is possible to identify certain genomes that would give you a pre-disposition to certain races.  It may not be a definative race, but it could narrow down possibilities until you can come up with a high probability.

A friend and I are getting ready to sign a lease on an apartment and when we asked about pets, they said they charge a one time fee of $200.  When I asked what the fee went toward they said, "so you can have a pet."  I said, "no, what does the fee go toward," to which I got the same reply.  They also charge you extra for any pet damage done.\n\nMy question is, is it legal to charge someone a fee for a pet just because they can even though they are not using the money for anything?  (It is not returned if there is no damage)\n\nThanks

It all depends on who you're renting from.  I would not pay a pet fee without seeing everything in writing.  Yes, they do charge that and even more for pet fees.  Do you have to pay a non-refundable deposit for you and your friend?  Make sure it's all in writing.

My neighbors swear that the only true longhorned cattle are those with the "high texas Twist" horn, not those with the extra long horns that curl up at the end?? I am confused, I thought they were both the same breed with different traits of horns?  Am I right or are they?  P.S. they are very elderly people and may just be "stuck in thier ways".

A texas long horn's horns grow outward, forward and up, the texas twist's horns slowly spiral out.  They are both the same breed of cattle, just different horn types and you are right.  Here is a great website to look at www.txranger.com. and www.assadtexaslonghorns.com\nP.S. There is also the texas butler strain of longhorns


I am doing a paper and this is the question I am supposed to be attempting to answer but I cant seem to find any sources on this subject. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I think, in general, men are more prone to express homophobia...\n\n... but, more men look at hard core porn- which would be "softcore" if it were just a chick alone!\n\nSo they're looking at other men, in sexual situations, and getting aroused.\n\nSame thing for guys who actually act it out (those in swinger type relationships or who like to watch their wives with other men). In some of those alternate relationships, the men interact with eachother to varying degrees, but still consider themselves heterosexual. This might also happen in some types of BDSM relationships. \n\nIn short, I think expressed homophobia is a social thing and a social label.

explain to me why they were best decribed as interventionist?

Often the goal of the united states was to be isolationist whenever possible as for much of the time we were still growing in strength as well. However, what you find in a lot of occasions, is that in the south america, or in the pacific, the united states gets involved to protect their interest. They intervne in order to gain territory, protect their ally, or whatever they case may be. They do it in Cuba, Panama, the Philippines among other places.

Actualy that peoples try to find god.And successed,But now people made them God,Y this happening like this??? For what????

A Buddha is a person who has developed all positive qualities and has eliminated all negative qualities. A Buddha has been an "ordinary" living being, like you and me before he became enlightened or awakened. Enlightenment is compared to waking up, as a person makes a complete transformation in body and especially mind. A Buddha is said to be all-knowing. One could say that a Buddha represents the very peak of evolution. A Buddha is not omnipotent or all-powerful; otherwise the Buddha would have ended all suffering in the universe....\nHe did not claim that he was a god, the child of a god or even the messenger from a god.\nWhen we bow, we express our gratitude to the Buddha for what his teachings have given us. This is the nature of Buddhist worship.\n\n***When someone worships a god, they praise him or her, making offerings and ask for favours, believing that the god will hear their praise, receive their offerings and answer their prayers. Buddhists do not indulge in this kind of worship.\n\nSimply speaking, this is to avoid harming others and to help them as much as possible. Another way of expressing this is, Abandon negative action; create perfect virtue; subdue your own mind. This is the teaching of the Buddha. By abandoning negative actions (killing, etc.) and destructive motivations (anger, attachment, close-mindedness, etc.), we stop harming ourselves and others. By creating perfect virtue, we develop beneficial attitudes, like impartial love and compassion, and do actions motivated by these thoughts. By subduing our mind, we cut away all false projections, thus making ourselves calm and peaceful by understanding reality.\n\nThe essence of Buddha’s teachings is also contained in the three principles of the path: definite emergence, the dedicated heart and wisdom realizing emptiness. Initially, we seek definitely to emerge from the confusion of our problems and their causes. Then, we see that other people also have problems, and with love and compassion, we dedicate our heart to becoming a Buddha so that we are capable of helping others extensively. In order to do this, we develop the wisdom understanding the real nature of ourselves and other phenomena.

Can she really get tired or bored from it? she says she doesnt but help me out. Please!

Gosh NO!  How desperate are you?\n\nYes she can get bored & tired of it.  If she says no, she just doesn't want to hurt your feelings, or she's scared of losing you if she sets boundaries, or she's just really immature/insecure.\n\nDoes she never pursue you?  HOW BORING!  Do you not want your girl to show initiative/attraction to you?  Do you only ever want her for sex? Does it not bother you that she doesn't get a chance to show that she wants you because you keep hogging all the attraction communication?  If I were her, I would put you on ice for a month (refuse privileges) until you could see me as a person, not just a humping machine (unless of course I just dumped you right away), and so I could have a chance at the flirting fun too.  \n\nAre you 18?  If not, you should be able to control yourself for at least 48 hours, gee.  \n\n"Please please can I have sex?"  "Oh sure."\nThat's what it sounds like you do twice a day from your question.  D E S P E R A T E men don't keep their women long.\n\nNow, having said all that, you have not given sufficient information to answer your question without assuming the worst possible scenario.  So considering your "every chance" might be once a week if you don't see her much, you might then just want to make sure you communicate that you value her as a person, and if she knows how important sex is to you, she will indicate it through inviting you inside, or    initiating a kiss, or whatever, you should NOT have to beg or ask continually.  Just kiss her, treat her like you want her to feel like the amazing woman she is, and if she is open for more, you will feel it in her body language and you can move in.  Stop asking like a begging dog.

my cousin has worked in kuwait, she has been se xualy abused by her employer and his sons on regular basis. thereafter she complained to relavent authorities, but no one has taken any legal action against these criminals.\n\n\nCAN ANY1 GIVE US ANY LEGAL ADVISE, HOW CAN WE BRING THESE CRIMINALS BEFORE JUSTICE?

The fact is that you can't.  What I have seen from having been to a few of those countries is that they primarily run by culture, not law or religion.  Sure, they claim it's the law or part of religion, but careful examination of both will tell you the opposite.  She won't get justice because in those countries they just don't care.  The victim is the criminal in their eyes.  They criminal is rarely punished whereas the victim has a stigma attached to her permanently and may even be murdered to protect her family's "honor" if that's what you want to call it.

Do you have strong feeling about it?are you for or against?

Genetic engineering can help many disorders that result from genetic misorders and mutations.  The controversy surrounds the use of cloning to produce "identical organisms" where the clone's cells can be used to produce talor made tissue.  I do not believe cloning is necessary to get stem cells to carry out genetic engineering.  THere are sources in the body to retrieve stem cells.  The problem is obtaining cells that have not specialized.  The less specialized the easier to make the cell transform into a specific cell for tissue growth.  Also, all cells contian the same copy of DNA.  I think it is only a matter of time before engineeris can stimulate a cell into changing into another cell.  Other than that there is nothing really controversial about genetic engineering.


We always hear politicians and preachers talking about saving the "traditional" American family, but most of my friends come from single-parent homes, or even head them.\n\nI think the traditional family is something we simply made-up to justify certain political stances, like gay-marriage.\n\nAm I right?\n\nDid the traditional family really exist, or not?\n\nI think as long as there's love and support, a family should just "be" however it is.\n\nEven polygamy (as long as everyone is happy.)

I agree with you.  Traditional family is just made up.  People always make up things to justify wanting to end or not make happen something.

I am a 57 year old woman and didn't have sex for some years now. Just recently got into a relationship and started to have sex again. Found that it was a bit painful at penetration. I was fully aroused and wet. Thought maybe because I am in my post-menopause, my vagina may had shrunk or could it be that my partner has a thick penis. Just wondering and perhaps you could answer my question. By the way, this is the first time that I had made love to him.

Our vagina's automatically tightens up after a long period of time has passed and not have had intercourse. it is very normal and im sure the "next time" will be a little more comfortable for you. As time go by, it will start to feel "right" again....good luck!

My right ear, for the last three days at various times seems to go 'deaf'. Where I can't hear anything and it feels full of air, then a high pitched ringing. After about 30 seconds of this and dizziness it subsides. I'm not sure whether this is an ear infection or something else. I'm a teenager, and I hear that young women my age don't have ear infections as easily as I had them when I was a child.

Speaking from experience...it sounds like its ur equilibrium...it could have an infection...u might wanna see a doctor to get it treated...the doctor will probably just give u medicine for the pain and an antibiotic...hope u feel better:)


I am a blond with blue eyes that would like to meet new people. I would like to meet white men /guys between the ages of 22 and 30. Let me know how I can do it.

I heard this somewhere, and never confirmed it, that flexitarians (people who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, with some animal products) outlive vegetarians.  Is there any truth to this?  And if so, can you back this with some info on the web?  Thanks.

I am a vegetarian and i would probably say yes even though i hate it!!! The animals are a source of proteen which every one needs but veggies (no I don't mind being called a vegi!) only relay have nuts and meet supplements like vitamins but even the Omega 3 vitamins are fake!!! I will get some Sources later!


if i have 20 hand crancked generators, each produces 4 to 5 w and if i connect all and 20 people crancked them for 8 hours continuously - how much electricity will be generated, will it be sufficient to run 5 ceiling fans, 1 refrigerator, 6 numbers of 100 watts each bulbs in a home?

Okay, let's do the math:\n\nAssuming that 20 people could continuously produce 4W of electrical power for 8 hours without getting tired, here's how it would shake out:\n\n20 people x 4W  = 80W of power\n\n20 people x 5W  = 100W of power\n\nI could stop now at this point since the 8 hours now becomes irrelevant.  It would take all 20 people doing all they could just to keep one 100W light bulb glowing brightly.  The answer is clearly no.\n\nA ceiling fan requres roughly 100 watts...to keep it running.  It requires significantly more power momentarily upon start up, as does the refrigerator because they are electric motors.\n\nA refrigerator, depending on size, age and efficiency draws roughly 800 - 1200 Watts...when running.\n\nSo, 500 watts for ceiling fans, 800 watts for the fridge, 600 watts for the light bulbs...you're up to 2100 watts, or\n700 people cranking hand generators.\n\nI'd consider using compact fluorescents for your lighting.  ;-)


Right now, I identify with Squidward, even though I like my job better than he likes his. He likes integrated art including dance and music, abd enjoys riding his bike. and he doesnt like SB too well because SB acts like a fool, even though he would take up for him every once in a while. its just a cartoon though.  I really dont watch alot of tv because  reality is dramatic enough. I cant handle drama that is not even real.  I wish I could.  Maybe I could learn something about other people, but I just cant stomach it.  How about you? Right now i only watch that one cartoon and Andy Griffith.  That old drunk barber tickles me.

yes i sure do. i watch alot of the thundercats. the reason he played the drunk barber becuase he had 2 storkes


Yes. There are black Mormons. One of the most well known is Gladys Knight, of Gladys Knight and the Pips. She was baptized several and some years ago after trying out a lot of other religions. She has recently organized a choir and takes them all over the country sharing her testimony about the church and about God. \n\nI am not sure about the answer to your other question. I'm not sure they are entirely related. Remember, Mormons no longer practice polygamy.

I don't know, but MLK's death was a travesty for the Black population.  He was truly a man of peace and honor.

The prospects are excellent. Your skill set sounds limited in terms of outright coding experience, but you would probably be able to find work through any number of avenues.\n\nIf you want to work for yourself, approach computer repair shops; I'm sure they get requests for custom software all the time. \n\nIf you want to work for a company, investigate health care and finance / insurance; they have piles of money and piles of need. That's where I make all my money.


How much did you do it for ? Or how much would you do it for ?

Yep, been shaved completely bald twice now.\nI do it for cancer research.\nIt's called shave for a cure, people sponsor you to shave your head and the money goes into research for a cure for cancer.\nIt happens every year in March here, I did it for free, and I'd do it again, for free\nIt's only hair man, it grows back.\nIt sticks like velcro to the furniture til it grows back some though, lol

I HAVE been dating my girlfriend for 1 year now and she will not tell her daughters father about me. they broke up 6 months before we got together, she said she is worried about what he will do if he finds out but i am starting to think there is more to it she goes over to drop her daughter off and stays there for 2 hours to me that does not seem right am i over reacting.

Her not wanting to tell her daughters' father about you is a clear indication that she is trying to protect her relationship with him. It is possible that she may not be ready yet to diclose her affair because she is still concerned about him and of course, the children. it is quite hard to rule out what could possibly be stopping her from revealing you to him; it is also a possibility that she herself is not yet sure about her relationship with you, too. I know that it is also difficult on your part but are you really serious about her also?...And if ever he finds out about you, would you be prepared for any possbile consequences?... In this scenario, the girl is in the losing end. Either she will totally lose her husband forever or worse, he will fight to gain custody of the kids because of her infidelity. In your case, you are the guy and you won't lose anything. I suggest that you move on with your life and get somebody who is more eligible and not in a compromising situation. Let your present 'girlfriend' lead the kind of life she wants. Maybe, she too, doesn't know what to do with her life. She may be in a lot of confusion and having you in her life may just be a thing that she's only taking for granted. Better to talk things out with her and know what she feels about your relationship. Be transparent and let her know also what you feel. I do hope that you will come up with a decision regarding this. You are in a relationship where you don't have any idea where you stand. You know, parting ways with her might be the best thing you'll do for yourself and for her, too.


And are they ever sessile (they don't move at all)?

Here is what i found for you:\n\nThe Life Cycle of the Carribian Hermit Crab\n\n The reproductive organs of hermit crabs are located near and just below the crab’s heart and open to the outside at the base of the last pair of walking legs in the male. In the female, they’re located at the base of the middle pair of walking legs. Female hermit crabs usually lay their eggs shortly after copulating,  however they can also store sperm for many months. The eggs are fertilized as they are laid by passing through the chamber holding the sperm. The eggs are carried and hatched in a mass attached to the abdomen inside the shell.\n\n      The number of eggs is usually large, but depends on the crab’s size. The developing crabs go through four stages, two of which (the baupilus and protozoea) occur while still in the egg. Most crabs hatch at the third stage, the zoea. This is a larvae stage wherein the crab has several long spines, a long narrow abdomen, and large fringed antennae. The fourth stage of development is the magelops.\n\n      Hermit crabs are usually born in the ocean, near the shore. Because of this, hermit crabs cannot reproduce in captivity. After the crabs are born, they move inland away from the water, where they search for abandoned shells to inhabit. Hermit crabs then begin growing and developing through a process call molting. In this process, the crabs sheds their exoskeleton. During this, the crabs are extremely vulnerable and inactive, and usually find protection by burrowing in the ground. It takes around 10 days for their new exoskeleton to harden, and during this period the crab is able to regenerate any lost or broken claws or legs. A hermit crab can molt as often as every other month when they’re young, or every 18 months when they’re older. The life span of the hermit crab in the wild is up to 30 years, while those in captivity live 15 years at the most.\n\nTC


i have often seen or experienced storms in the afternoon or may be in the evening,and not in the morning.why?is there any scientific reason behind it?

The early afternoon and evening are the warmest times of the day, and that warmth fuels the convection that powers storms.  Conversely, late at night and early morning are the coolest--and hence the most stable--times of the day.


it depends if the guy has a nice personality. =)

pray and he'll answer.Why haven't I been "reborn"when I pray I truly mean it but I just don't feel it in my heart.Any advice or thoughts or the same expiereance

Are you holding anything back?  God wants you to get real with him.  He knows all about you already, tell him your fears and He WILL comfort and help you.  I have been in your situation.  I have had to learn like others have said, there is not always that magic feeling that we want to feel and that is where faith comes in.  You have to remember, the devil knows all about you also, and he will do everything in his power to make you doubt yourself and most of all doubt God.  Clear your mind and ask God what is going on, He will reveal His path for you.  When I was saved I did feel different, I knew it was real, but the peace and presence of God that He has shared with me came much later after I grew in faith and wanted a real relationship with God not just seeking a feeling.  Keep close to God, find spiritual friends and leaders, and spend time with them each day.  God loves you, He is leading you through this and I have learned those times when I have felt down and out of the loop with God, -if I kept the faith- He always brought me out stronger than before.  Seek Him with all you heart, trust me He WILL answer.


How do you deal with people who swear in front of your children when you are out in public? A group of young kids about 15-16 years old had the worst potty mouth I ever heard while at the mall.\n\nI asked them very nicely to please not swear in front of my child, one of the kids told me to kiss their A$$ and then several of them bent over and tapped their butt right in front of us.\n\nLaura

call mall security, in most states foul language is a misdemeanor. and things like that can show your kids how not to be if explained well.


I am 51,going to college for the first time,what kind of jobs can I apply for with a Juris Doctor Degree? After four years of law school,what will be my next educational move?

My aunt had a friend in law school who was visually impaired.  She went to work for a civil rights group, of course.\n\nYou can take your bar and practice law, you can take it or not and work in consulting, you can take it or not and teach.  Either way you could do wonders with doing low pay or pro bono work for civil rights and discrimination cases.\n\nI plan to work for a non-profit group and maybe for DSS helping protect the Innocent and prosecute the deserving.  (Yeah, at least I am going to try my darnedest)\n\nYour being visually impaired is really not a factor in your possible career choices.  Choose whatever you want to do.

I just took a trip overnight with my family and I was surprised we didn't see even 1 firefly. Is it because of the season or are they becoming less and getting harder to spot?

While fireflies are around all year round in one form or another, the period in which they are actually flashing and displaying is usually pretty limited.  Depending on what part of the country you're in, that period may be longer or shorter.\n\nUp here in Canada where I am, there's usually only one or two weeks a year in mid to late June that fireflies are visible at all.

a patient started on the above injection has shown remarkable improvement after the fiest dose. Will he require lifelong medication? when can a switch to oral flupenthixol be made? Is olanzapine required to be added?

yes, the patient will require the lifelong medication or until the doctors have found that it is stabilized or if the patient or parents of the patient want him/her to stay on it so any future reactions on occur. While it is stabilized, the patient need to go thru counseling. For the other parts, I could not find, but you can read up on the website I posted too.

My cousin her son 20 years old not sure which branch to join and also what is the different between enlisted and join or is there any different.

all have there benefits and disadvantages the Army and the Marines have the exact same training but it takes longer in the Marines.  I am in the Army and love it, but it all depends on what he wants to do.  I joined the Army because I wanted to be an MP because that is the closest I can get to the front "lines" it also depends if he wants to stay for life or not the Navy has a lot of jobs that will get you some really good jobs in the civilian world both are very noble.  It also depends on dose he want a job where he is going to get dirty or dose he want to be clean pressed and shined.  He should get the ASVAB book and take the test to see what he qualifies for before he talks to a recruiter so he knows exactly what he wants not what the recruiter wants him to be.  When I saw the recruiter I told him I want to be an MP and I know what I need to score on the test and where I want to be stationed can you give me that, if he had said no I would have walked out of his office.  I am actually looking in to the navy at the moment because I want to go active duty and having been active duty army I think my attitude is better suited to the navy.  both are great he just needs to do the research before the goes to the recruiter, I think there are better bonuses for the army but if money is not the issue no one can really tell him what is better he just needs figure out exactly what he wants before he goes to talk to any one about it


Everything has all of a sudden become very large print on all of the pages that I access.  It is really bothering my eyes

where can i find information about it,i am 22 and almost at the end of my graduation.whats the maximum age limit for them,i am wearing spectales 0.25 in one eye and 0.75 in another

I don't think they recruit people directly.CID and CBI are domestic organizations which pick up promising police officers.For that you will have to join the Indian Police Service.RAW is our foriegn intelligence agency-which is a fairly covert organization-but they I think take recruits from the military intelligence agencies like the Joint Cipher Bureau or the Signals Intelligence Bureau.RAW might also accept qualified officers from the military.However I am fairly certain that civilians are not taken into these organizations directly-you will have to be either in the Indian Police Service or the military.It is however much easier to join a domestic intelligence agency than a foriegn intelligence agency.I don't think age will be much of an issue here-22 is quite an acceptable age.The spectacle issue shouldn't be a problem either.You can get much more information at   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_Intelligence_agencies


Hi could someone please clarify for me is a Chartered Accountant in Canada the same as a Certified Publick Accountant in America? Thanks anyone who helps!

Chartered Accountant (CA) is a brand originated from British Royal Charter and widely spread in the Commonwealth since its inception in 19th century. The standard for UK CAs is said to be equivalent to a British degree.\n\nIn the accounting profession, there is no competitive league table similar to Master of Business Administration. As such, no accounting body can ethically claim to be the best in the world or equivalent to an MBA in the absence of a fair comparison. For non-British nations, Certified Public Accountant brands are the most popular. In the 21st century, CPAs or non-Chartered Accountants (even in United Kingdom and Australia) have become the largest bodies in terms of global membership. e.g. ACCA & CPA-Australia. As CAs can now freely merge with or reciprocate with non-CAs or non-audit bodies, equal treatment is given to all stakeholders. All auditing bodies recognized under statutes should have acceptable quality.\n\nIn the United Kingdom, there are five accounting bodies authorised by the Department of Trade and Industry under the Companies Acts to audit the accounts of a business as Registered Auditors. A member of these bodies will generally be known as a graduate member after passing all the necessary exams and then become an Affiliate, Associate or Fellow. Their counterpart in U.S.A is called American CPA or CPA of individual state board of accountancy (without mutual recognition agreement at Federal level). He or she should have been trained by a recognized qualifying body (RQB) such as the Association of International Accountants (AIA), Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS),the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW), Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland or Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). The primary authority is the Companies Act while the traditional authority is a Royal Charter granted by Her Majesty the Queen. Apart from brand preference, all five registered auditors are with equal status under law, particularly by reference to EU directives for mutual recognition with auditors of all twenty-five EU member states.\n\nIn Britain, ICAS is the oldest and smallest of these organisations. The AIA is the youngest with just around 76 years. In terms of number of members, ICAEW is the largest in England and EU while ACCA is the British largest global accounting body. All five British registered auditors are recognized to be a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) subject to certain requirements. As such, "English Chartered Accountant equivalents" in UK are AIA and ACCA, recognised by the DTI, and by mutual recognition agreement with HKICPA, China (as Hong Kong was formerly a British state pre-1997).HKICPA is the only accounting body which gained exemptions from China Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Beijing (CICPA)and with reciprocal with six chartered accountants.\n\nConsumers or employers may be confused by the standing of Chartered Accountants (CA) in various jurisdictions. CAs in UK and those in the Commonwealth may not be interchangeable or be regarded as equivalent standards. Many jurisdictions have their own accreditation programs for admission of foreign or out of state accountants for quality assurance.\n\nSimilarly in the Republic of Ireland, there are five audit bodies under the Irish Companies Act: the Institute of Certified Public Accountant in Ireland, Institute of Incorporated Public Accountants, Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland, ACCA, and ICAEW, three of which are the same in the UK. "Irish Chartered Accountant equivalents" in the Republic of Ireland are the CPA (Ireland) and IIPA.\n\nIn United Kingdom and Ireland, there are other accounting bodies which have received the Royal charter or Royal Coat of Arms such as CIPFA,CIMA and ICEA but which are not yet authorised by the DTI to be Registered Auditors. It seems that such bodies will merge with

A good lawyer should be able to get them off for failure to prosecute which usually kicks in after 2 years, also check the statute of limitations for theft by check ( the typical check charge)


wat is my best option in MBA.people tell me to opt for HR.i too like the idea but can i use my back ground in law to any use.wat r my options that is in working after my course or as an enterepreneur.

First, if you want to work in business then you'll need to study a bit of English. You won't be able to get away with writing like you've done here. \n\nBeyond that, the best application for a legal hound is in business adminstration law.  Will you be taking the BAR?  If so, with an MBA you can get a job in just about any company on the planet as a legal counsel.  You're MBA will serve you well.  I guess the question is, have you decided not to persue a position in law?  Are you shifting away from law into business or do you want to exercise both skills?\n\nIf it's both, then legal counsel - especially in the high tech market.


my brother and sister in law to be have put me in a rehab centre for crystal meth use,its all because of her, she comes from a perfect family with no problems and her and my brother have the perfect life. they have money live in a huge house have the perfect relationship and now a baby on the way. i have begged them to come get me out and they say no. i think they just want me out the way. my brother says they arent being manipulated anymore and either i get my act straight or get lost. its all her, she is putting ideas in his head. how do i get him to see this.

FIRST, you need to suck it up and GET OVER YOURSELF.  You've got some serious problems to deal with, and the parts of your life that you have to face have nothing to do with ANYONE but YOU.\nAlong those same lines, you have no one to blame for being in rehab or having a drug problem but yourself.  In fact, you should be grateful that someone actually cares enough about you to try and HELP you.  Twelve weeks is NOT getting you "out of the way," so you can drop that notion right now.\nAs for her putting ideas in his head, you are DEAD WRONG.  She's in your corner, whether you choose to believe that or not.  She loves you just as much as he does (and they DO love you), but they cannot change you.  The most they can do is be there for you when you fall.  Not to pick you up, but to see you through.  The rest is on you, and that's just a fact of life that you will need to learn as you get older.\nHas it ever occurred to you that people will respond to the signals that you send?  You just stated here, yourself, that your brother says they aren't being manipulated anymore.  Do you not understand that you've just shown the world, more or less, some of your behavioral patterns?  You've made no move to defend yourself, and therefore have justified the claim.  \nDon't start defending yourself over it.  Wake up and look at yourself.  Listen to yourself.  You need to pay attention to the things that you say and do, always, and justify your MOTIVES.  The thing about that, though, is that it doesn't matter what you go through to justify it to the rest of the world.  You need to justify it to yourself, and not a bit falsely.\nYou've been put in a position to have a serious wake-up call.  The world is at your fingertips.  This is your chance to consider the person you want to be, and begin learning how.  It never comes easy, and you never get it right the first time, but that doesn't mean you quit.  You don't HAVE to live in misery.  You don't have to be hurt or angry.  You also don't have to be happy, but it sure as hell is more fulfilling than the choices you've made thus far.\nStop trying to convince your brother, and everyone else, that you'd be just as well back out in the world.  What's more, stop trying to convince him that he's being brainwashed.  Just STOP trying to convince yourSELF that there is something wrong with everyone ELSE.  You don't need to worry about them.  You don't need to worry about your past, you don't need to worry about the people who have hurt you and let you down, you don't need to worry about people who APPEAR to give a rat's a$$ about you.  YOU need to worry about YOU, and you need to do it soon.\nLook, in case you didn't know, I have a pretty good idea what's going on, and not just because I'm perceptive.  I've been in touch with people, and I've also been through plenty of crap myself.  You're welcome to seek me out if you need to talk, but I don't want to hear any self-righteous, self-piteous BS.  If you are willing to fulfill the promises you've made (god forbid they were made in vain), then I will be more than happy to help guide you through the next few weeks at the very least.  But you need to make that commitment, and be willing to stick to it.\nLife SUCKS.  That's just the way it IS.  But it's only as good or bad as you make it.  Seize this opportunity to get a leg up.  All the resources are at your fingertips.  You just need to stop fighting it.  Really.\n\nP.S.  When I say I know all about it, I mean it.  And my door is always open.


hi guys...i just need lots of input...this is my final choice b4 going to college next week.....pharmacy or nursing...which one do u guys think is best for me and WHY...if pharmacist can i even keep the job in 50 years time....so nursing or pharmacy..i would appreciate it if a get a detailed breakdown on this...pharm or nursing(last call)guys please this is a big decision in my life..your advice will definately change my life..i just need to know all u know....basically tell me whether there is a future, flexibility,advancemetments..money..just everything u know...

I totally understand what you are going through because I just went through this myself. I started with pre-med but it proved to be too hard for me, as soon as I saw the classes I was going to have to take I knew I needed another major. My aunt and her friends tried to get me into Pharmacy but I just felt like it wasn't for me. So I started to look at nursing and I can tell you that I love it, right now I'm finishing up my last pre-req. classes before starting the nursing program. I recommend that you take a few classes in the pharmacy program and a few in the nursing and then make your choice, you can go in as undecided ( or just put either one) and then change your major so dont worry about that part. Just make sure what ever you choose is because you really enjoy it, like you actually find the classes interesting and can see yourself doing this for the rest of your life, dont get it because of the money, because after a few years that gets  old and you'll eventually hate your job. \nFor me I found microbiology to be great and i knew I was on the right track, but if you hate the classes you just need to move on to another major because it wont work. \nthere is a great need for nurses so you know you will always have a job, plus if you specialize the money is pretty good. Put thought into it, do your research because that's your future.\n wish you the best of luck :)


Why do Americans vote for BUSH to be The President for the second term even they dislike him??

Apparently not enough people did not dislike him for him to lose.  Had Gore been President when 9/11 happened he would have sued the terrorist's for polluting the air and causing global warming by their attack.  For this he would not have been re-elected had he won in 2000.  For 2004 Kerry lost a tight election.  All of you who say that these elections were stolen are not doing the system any good by doing that as we need more voters who care rather than less because they think it does not matter.


Part of the reason why you need to keep asking this question over and over again is you're not asking for the right thing.\n\nMy guess is that you want to be able to link to an MP3 file that's hosted on another Web site. If I'm wrong, my apologies, but again, you need to ask the question better, by which I mean, describe what you want to be able to do.\n\nWhat you want is to find a free Web host where you can post your own music files, and which allows hotlinking to those files. Then, you can make your own URLs to the files.\n\nGeocities will allow you to upload MP3 files to the server and hotlink them. The problem, however, is that you have a total bandwidth limit, per day, with Geocities. Also, you can't upload files larger than 5 MB per file, and you have only 15 MB of storage space in a free Geocities account.\n\nI'm not sure what the daily bandwidth limit is, but there is a limit, so if you get a lot of traffic at the site to which you are hotlinking these files, they'll stop playing after a while.\n\nYou can see what I am talking about by clicking this link:\n\nhttp://geocities.com/i_hates_spam/Genchildren.mp3\n\nYou may be able to find additional Web hosts that will allow you to hotlink MP3 files. I don't know of many because I don't tend to use free hosting.


What makes a good church?  Folks often give advice and then say 'go and find yourself a 'good church' ' and it can be hard to define what one is.\n\nso what is a good church?\n\nhow do you know (when visiting a church) if it is a good one or not?\n\nhow can you tell if they are not truthful with you at the start but only stuff dawns on you once you try and get your feet under the table?

everything. the congregation, the pastor, the church staff, volunteers, etc. Also staying dead on with the scriptures and being open to new converts and believers. Also, just because a church doesn't have all the amenities you may want at the present time doesn't mean that it should be overlooked.  \n\nSometimes all they need is you to step up to the plate.  I run the powerpoint/overheads at my church on saturday nights, a service which usually draws around 1,000 people.


i want to know what others think about this crazy guy featured on viva la bam and jackass

Funny as hell along with the rest of the Jackasses. Good sk8r too.


I was wondering what prank they got him with that made him refuse to sign the papers to let it air on MTV.

In December (03), Rodriguez was dining with his wife at Los Angeles' FORBIDDEN CITY when a waiter posing as a loudmouth BOSTON RED SOX fan provoked the sportsman.\n\nA source says, "The waiter basically called A-ROD a loser who had never been on a winning team."\n\nThe prank quickly became "very dicey" and, after the gag was exposed, Rodriguez refused to sign a release form - and also insisted that the tape be destroyed.\n\nRodriguez tells America's PEOPLE magazine of the prank, "It was a good idea. It was just bad timing." \n\n07/05/2004 19:24


I don't mean to offend anyone, but doesn't a guy being killed, then rising from the dead 3 days later sort of sound like "Dawn of the Dead"?

Yes.  The zombie brought chocolate.  Or maybe that was the giant bunny in the waistcoat.  I get them confused.  :)

Let me start back when everything went wrong\n\n5th grade\nokay in 5th grade there was a new student(ashley) she was my friend, <we went to the same church,her dad was the minister>\nshe was nice but then she started rumors about me. things like i was a lesbian and when she spent the night i climbed into bed naked with her. i mean come on 5th grade...?  hannah who was my other firend stuck with shley and became a complete bitch toward me along with heather. so that got me so stressed out i got hospitilized on top of that, bronchitis, and olser in my stomache from stress, and digestive problems\n\n6th-8th\nI thought switching schools would help things but it didnt 6th grade ,middle school.  but hannah and heather came to the same middle school as me ( ashley had moved away). hannah and heather started new rumors. about me masturbating and other stuff\n\n\nnone of these rumors were true\n\ncontinue 9th grade in newxt one

you no what ,, dont let those girls get you down bc they are jealous of you.. and a friend wouldent do you like that in the first place, there more important things in life than a bunch of girls hanging out trying to find someone to make fun of and talk about...put god back in your life he will never turn his back on you and he will allways be your friend...you need to find a girl at your school that no one else wonts to be friends with and try to be her friend the lest popular girls make the best friends ,,the more popular girls are the girls that are allways putting someone else down..and making fun of everyone else bc they think they are better than everyone else...good luck....


ok i wanna buy lubracant for things but say i go in speners gifts alone [its a stor]  and i want to buy that kind of stuff would the cashier let me

I don't think you have to be 18 in the drugstore or grocery store for that kind of stuff, but that kind of store, yes.


I am 37 years old, 5' 3", Filipino, not handsome, not intelligent.  The only thing I am rich with is having babies.  Can I sell this instead to those who wants to become pregnant?  Is this a good idea? I need at least 42000 pesos in payment of my debts or I'l be imprisoned.  I only have 1 month more to produce the money.  And this is my only way (that i know) how to earn that money... If not, Please help me earn this money for just 1 month.

You're in the wrong business. You can buy sperm online and have it shipped to your house for 2 or 300 dollars. You need to come up with another way to get the cash.


What if as a form of torture all of your senses were paralyzed, but you were kept medically alive though IV's and you could think, well knowing the torture will last until you die?

It all depends if your brain is still alive , you would be dreaming intermittently...if the brain is dead then you would just be kept from moving on until your body die. If you know what's going on around you, then I think it would be awful but never been in that position. That's why is so important to fill a living will when you are going to be admitted in to a hospital. You could also let someone close to you know what would you like to do in that case.


I once again have an ap history project to do. I need to do a vocabulary list of important, People, Places, and phrases of the time. Anyone’s help will be truly appreciated :-)

use wikipedia. Important person was Menshikov, childhood buddy of Peter. Important place is St-Petersburg, the city he build to serve as gateway to Europe. Poet Puskin later called this  "cutting a window to Europe".


how would you get a guy that you really like amd you know he likes you but he has a girlfried ..befor you go and get all you hoe!..on me  listen to my point.... ive been in his life for 6 years..i am really close to his family...but how do i tell him i want him w/o sounding like a dork? and w/o being all subtle...

The only way is for you to date another guy and see if that awakens any feeling for you within him.


I am sad because my boyfriend left me ... is someone from here and I want to make him to say me sorry!

seems like you've asked this question out of an emotional outburst. I'd suggest you put this off for a while and just do something that you just love doing, may be playing with kids or some fave hobby, may be even a work out & a good long sleep.\nBy the end of it you are surely gonna find some relief. Then with calm repose, you better take the first step. Nd not wait for him to approach you, never fl below yourself to take the first step. Go for it, call him up, talk it with him patiently. Plan a face-face meeting. Just c it will work magic, wen you both can hug each other & go that extra step to cry out on each other's shoulders.\nThere's your relief.\nA suggestion:Better not give an open invitation asking someone to love you.


The bible contains specific prophecies such as \n- Israel would return as a nation\n- the language of Hebrew would be restored\n- The currence of the Shekel would be used again\n\nThese are only a couple of thousands... but all of these were fulfilled literally, since 1947, not thousands of years ago... but verifyable by people still alive.  \n\nConsidering these prophecies were written thousands of years ago, how can you not believe that the bible was written by someone who could see all time.  God.

God answers it Himself in His Word. These passages are very sobering\n\n2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 \n\n and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,  that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

i know were are supposedly the " greatest country" and free and so forth and many foreiners may desire to live here, but tell me more about mexico and it's living conditions. this is not meant to be a derogative post. thanks

They have a class system.  The do not want a middle class at all all those that are beneath the rich and ruling class are to stay that way.  But like most of cultures people continue to have babies, and those babies grow up and cause a drain on the rich and ruling class.  There needs to be away to feed, cloth and keep them settled so that they will not fight to overthrow a cruel and unjust government.  So what better way than to drive them out of the homeland and into that of another country.  For their government could care less if they lived or died (do you think there is water in the desert for those of us traveling to Mexico illegally) and much less what really happens to them here. \n\n Mexico is a corrupt government that only aids to the desparate state of being that their people are in.  Flying into Mexico City, by the way, which if very beautilful, one can see as far as the eye, roof tops of cardboard boxes.  One can drive down US Hwy 10 on the West side of El Paso and see conditions across the board that are just horrifing.  One can drive into Juazes and see the manison with their great walls around them, and people lining the streets in filth and hunger.  Their government does not want them there, so whats a few million, drive them N. and get them out of Mexico, so that we may have their lands and not worry about their existence.  Of course if we can use them ( the millions they drive from Mexico)in such a way as to get America to give us more and do more for us then so be it.  And if they can use them (with lies that they are entitled to something in this land), the poor driven souls to cause unrest in America then they are for that.  \n\nIts called all for me and none for you government.  There is a very small ruling class in Mexico, they rule with an iron hand.  \n\nKiss the ground you live and work on, for it is not like another on earth.  And those that come here both legally and illegally know this, that is why they still come!


how deep will it penetrate and will it hurt her? will seh able to cope it up with scuh deep penetrtion? will my entire pennis go inside or only a fraction for the first time?

The average depth of a woman is between 3-4 inches.  Therefore, you can gauge how far you will go depending on your size.  But remember that tissue is extremely elastic and some women can handle larger men while other's can't.  Also, if she is a virgin, you will most likely encounter resistance at her "cherry" and if you keep going will tear her.  A hymen will be present in most virgins, but not all.  It can be broken by fingers or tampons and some girls never have one.  Her age will also be a factor.  The younger she is, the smaller she will be (relatively).  But you appear to be quite young in asking this question and I would hesitate to encourage you in this matter.  Life is more than just sex.  After all, you have two hands.  Don't get hung up on the matter.  When it is supposed to happen, everything will work just fine.  My advice, wait a little while until you are as emotionally and socially capable of handling this situation as your are physically.  It might be good now, but it will be out of this world great with the right person at the right time.

Like, is it possible to have a relationship that is TOTALLY passionate and at the same time have that person be like the greatest best friend you've ever had?  I feel like its mostly on one side of the spectrum.  It's like you have to give up some passion to be in a stable, fully healthy relationship.  Any intelligent thoughts?

I used to think that it was one way or the other. But after considerable experience I think the passion is the product of the desire of the two people. If you are in love (which to me implies that you are best of friends) and you nurture that love and work to be that couple, the energy that you've invested resurfaces as passion.  I think that the reward for investing your self in the couple this way is intense passion, and though it is scary to give of yourself in this way, it is the only way to achieve real passion, ie that isn't sourced in lust or infatuation.  If all you have is lust and infatuation, you'll notice the passion going away when the infatuation period wears off.


Antonio Banderas is a main character.  it's a dancing movie.

i make shore that the door is locked and do it like 3-5 times befour i go to bed. or making shore the fridge is closed after i go set down ill go back and make shore it is closed. an i how acurt it the test that u take ur self?

The only way to get an accurate diagnosis is to see a doctor or psychiatrist.  No one here (even though they sure try) can diagnose you as they are not medically qualified nor have they examined you and asked the necessary questions.\n\nThe good news is that IF you are diagnosed as OCD, there are treatments available.  Not everyone who checks a few times to see if a door is locked or does the same with the fridge is OCD.  So, please make an appointment and find out for sure.

I observed some big brave "Ohhhhh Raaaaa" type of Mariness running away in fear from the Insurgents as the insurgents were beating the United States Marines butt.(..On CNN News..) How can this be? The insurgents are just a rag tag group of men with basic weapons so how come they are killing our big brave well equipped Marines? We are the most powerful Army (Military) in the world but are getting whipped by the Insurgents just like Vietnam. The Marines should feel ashamed. do you agree?

Marines are killed everyday in Iraq. (71 so far in April 06 ) They wanted this war but now they are getting their ass kicked all over the place. Three years ago the Marines were yelling "Bring it On". Now they are begging "Bring me Home". The Marines discovered bullets don't bounce off their chests. We all know the USA military will eat crap and lose the war.


I don't know if I should invite her. She gets annoying sometimes, but she can also be funny sometimes. She already knows that I'm having a party, but I could just say no. I don't know. HELP!

If she has survived the test of being you friend this long, she'll make it thru a party with your not-so-annoying friends... She knows about your party because she IS your friend, girl, to have friends, you also have to be one! A true friend would tell the others that EVERYONE is at your party because they are special to you, anyone who forgets that and behaves badly, obviously red flags themselves as NOT your friend! Well heck that would almost be the best bday gift of all, True Colors!  Set the standard, sweetie!\nBut I think you already know that... Happy Birthday!


if so why did the prices go up? thanks a lot

Mine went up.\nThe reasons given by the insurance company;\nCost of medical expenses went up\nCost of auto replacement parts/repairs went up\nNumber of accidents in the area went up


tell me what you think there are times in the day i feel my gf around me and i can  scents her like her spirit is watching me she said she feels the same about me when shes scared or alone she can feel me around  we are always knowing what the other thinks she said she never felt this way about a man ever and she will marry me and keep me forever so what do you think

You are a lucky guy! You've found the right one for u. The 1 with whom u will spend the rest of your life!!\n\nBoth of u are totally inlove!!!!\n\nwish u all the best with ur gf!


:ook guys, I am not young!! However, I have fallen madly in love with a great guy and we have not hooked up yet.  I think he feels the same about me, but he has many issues he is working on right now.  When we are together, let's say in class, I completely loose it, say the stupidest things, over-react to the most idiotic situations or things he says, and completely go nuts, and get mad at the slightest thing he says or does.!!! Is this normal because I am really frustrated and wish he would take this relationship to the next level.  I don't want a response of tell him, I want to know what I am feeling and how I am acting in front of him is normal.

Sounds totally normal to me, embarassing as it is.  I've found the only way to stop losing the plot every time you talk to him is to actually spend more time with him, a kind of practice thing.  It'll also give him time to get his stuff sorted out while you're doing the same


isnt it against  da law? dont gals anymore ,find guys hot

It's not against the law to be attracted to someone of the same sex. In fact, it can be perfectly natural. Just because society says that it isn't right, doesn't mean that society is right. And women do find men attractive and men find women attractive. Yet at the same time, it is very possible for a woman to find a woman attractive and a man to find a man attractive.


I have been walking on my treadmill at a pretty fast speed every night for the last few months which has enabled me to lose quite a bit of weight (17kg). Tonight i went on it and did my usual 7km in 70 minutes (i do 1km in ten minutes) and my dad said that was a weak effort. He says i should be able to walk 7km in 5o minutes!!! I thought i was doing really well and i was really proud of myself, but am i too slow? I only walk, but it is enough to build up a sweat and lose weight! How long do you think it should take to walk one kilometre?

your dad is right pick up the pace- no i am kidding walking at any speed is grrrrreat

I'm sure it would help if I'd get off this D**N computer, but I'm just not tired. Unfortunately, tomorrow I'll be exhausted.

First of all how old are you? Do you drink alot of colas with alot of caffine let alone- do you drink coffee? Do you have a heart or lung condition that limits your ability to breath properly? These and many other things can contribute to your inability to sleep. Stop all caffine drinks by 7:pm. Get off the computer at a decent time lol. Your bedroom is for sleeping or lovemaking only.......not surfing the web or watching tv. If any of these things apply then you know what you need to do assist in your resting through the nite. Mostly.......talk to your Doc. OK


I used to have this song on a Variety LP, but don't have the LP anymore and it came up in conversation with my friends...been driving us nuts ever since.

Janis Ian sings a 1995 song by that title. Another version by John Denver in 1973 and another version by The Violent Femmes in 1984, hope it helps.


but i am nine i dont think popular egsists in my world i need help because peeple think i am nerdy

hey! you sound nice. I suggest that you just smile a lot at school. People are attracted to smilers! Also, try to do nice things for people. Remember their birthdays, share stuff with them. Keep on being nice! Hopefully that works for ya!


An American Idol theme can be pretty fun.  Have 3 people lined up to be your judges, (Randy, Paula & Simon) and all the kids have a kareoke competition.  We had one for my 10 yr old daughter, and it was hilarious!

i think theyre the stupidest band in the history of music...what's up with all the masks? they look like they were exposed to some radioactive crap!

i would agree,\n\ntruely awful.\nthey are a marketing image,  not a band.\nas far as extracting money from idiots you would have to admit they have done well,  but the music is truely dreadful


Please, do not assume I am a racist. I just wonder what other people think on this issue.

You would think a lot of Americans think that way with the responses on these pages. The African American and Latino population alone could sway the vote in America. The question is which way are they going to turn after all of the abuse.


My mom is about a month pregnat. I am 15 and this will be my first blood related sibling and this child will be a second for my mom and a first child for her fiance. My mom has smoked about since I was born (year-1990). Ever since my mom is pregnat she smokes an occasional ciggarette (like 1 every 2 days) and i know that isnt healthy. on top of that her fiancee smokes in the living room. I have told her that i dont like him smoking cigarettes in the house as long as she is preganyt. he could take the cigarette in to the garage or outside. she doesnt really listens to me and tends to defend him. Im getting really pissed off cause i dont want the baby to be unhealthy in anyway. can you please give me suggestions on what to do and what to tell them.\nthank you

I would use google scholar (scholar.google.com) to find journal articles and medical texts detailing all the bad things that will happen to the fetus. \n\nShe has to make up her own mind - so you can only present her with the facts and hope that she will listen.\n\nExplain that you love her, and the sibling-to-be, and that you are concerned it will be harmed irreparably. Maybe get a stool and blanket and ashtray for the garage so that you have provided all the necessities to keep the fiance warm while he kills himself with carcinogens.\n\nPs - you're pretty smart and with it for a 15 year old...I hope you stay that way. *high fives*


its something to do with the heat they radiate

Radiation caused by temperature is often called "Black-Body Radiation." Perfectly Black Bodies are the best type of objects to absrob heat - as most of us know if you wear a black T-Shirt in the sun, as compared to a white one!\n\nI quote to you a fundamental statement of black-body radiation "The best possible absorber of radiation is also the best possible emitter of radiation."\nThis is because the efficiency of a black body does not depend on whether radiation is being emitted or absorbed.\n\nA black radiator is much more efficient than a white radiator because it can absorb (and therefore radiate) better.

Ok, everyday I walk for about four hours with my son in his stroller. Then I also eat small meals through the day. I also have an ab lounge. How many crunches should I do on the ab lounge? Should I walk more? I drink plenty of water and eat very healthy, but I don't seem to be losing any weight. Please help with any other ideas...

Do you know what you are taking in calorie wise?  Also, are you nursing?  These will impact your weight loss. \n\nIf you email me, I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.


What does that make the person who sent it. And why would somone reply if they really didnt care.

Because "If I am me then who am I?" indeed is a stupid question. I am surprized only 1 person in 10 said that.


She lives the life of Riley so why is anyone excited that she has reached this grand old age. I am sick of the Royals now Diana has gone - she was the only one worth watching.

No,  I don't care about her age, I fell the same way as you, I lost all interest in the royals after Diana died.

I am raising my grandchild from when she was born. she is no 6. I dont know where her mother is or who the father is.she thinks of my other kids as her brother and sister. when should I tell her the truth?

you should tell her now if you don't there's a chance she will get very upset if you tell her when shes 13-14 or if you never tell her and she finds out on her own...\n\nalso,there's a chance she wont understand just yet \nand if she doesn't \nthen help her understand or wait until shes a little older


Lets say I wanted to sue someone, I live in Florida and they live in another state, do i file my suit in my state or the state the person lives?

In small claims court you would almost certainly need to file in the state in which the defendant resides.  For larger matters, you might not have to.


I read your other question..  I wonder have you had anything happen to you when you were younger?  You only think you love him, at 15 even though you think you are..  you are not emotionally equipped yet to deal with this.  He knows this and is preying and counting on your immaturity not to realize this.  You said he was married, with a family..?  That speaks for itself..  He is not a good man to hurt so many people and you will probably not be sadly the last.  The only thing when you grow up and realize that you have is your self respect and dignity.  You are special, do not throw it so easily away..  think about what you want.

You can lose 20lbs in 5 minutes if you cut your leg off..\n20 pounds in 5 weeks would involve losing 4 pounds a week. That's hard to do, not to mention unhealthy! You could safely lose 10 pounds in that amount of time, as it is healthiest to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week.\nA pound of fat has 3500 calories in it. You would need to burn off 2000 more calories than you eat everyday for 5 weeks in order to lose that much! It won't happen unless you eat next to nothing and exercise like mad!\nTo lose 2 pounds a week, start burning off 500 calories a day, every day, through exercise. You will lose 1 pound of fat per week without even changing your diet! If you reduce your calories by 500, then you'll lose a second pound a week. Don't reduce your calories too much or your metabolism will slow down by as much as 30% because your body will throw itself into starvation mode. If you're a woman, eat at least 1200 calories a day, 1500 for men. Eat 5-6 small, healthy meals a day, try and make your calories mostly consist of fruit, veggies and whole grains. You will also need lots of protein if you burn 500 calories a day--go for lean meats, egg whites, and veggie burgers. Green tea is supposed to help with weight loss, so try drinking a cup or so of that everyday. Drink plenty of water!!!!


I had to have a spinal fusion 10 yrs ago & even though I try to go to the gym regularly, on occasions my back problem flares up & I seem to be back at square one, not able to do anything then I put the weight back on. It really drives me crazy at times as I like to be active as my disabillity permits.

Before you workout you might want to ice the area of your back that flares up. Hopefully, doing so will cut down on the inflammation which maybe what is at the heart of the problem. Also, if you have pain issues ask your doctor if a TENS unit would help you. Used correctly it often stops pain in its tracts. Good luck.


How do you add hair to somebody (short, guys hair) who has a little bit of hair and making it look real?

If you have enough hair to start with you can use the clone tool to add hair.  \n\nOf course, you can't make something out of nothing.  In such a case, you can \n1. create a special brush that can simulate hair.\n2. cut the hair off someone else and paste it onto the guys head.\n\nAdding convincing hair is very difficult unless you are a seasoned Photoshopper.


I see people at my school that surf the web wirelessly and someone told me that there is no charge to surf the web at my school because our school is a wireless "hotspot", is this true?

You would need a wireless adapter.  A lot of notebooks have them built in, but if yours doesn't, you'd need to purchase one that's compatible with your school's wireless network (check for the 802.11 a/b/g - it's the a or b or g part that you need to find out).  You can get USB ones that are easy to install and cost about $30 - $40.


If i wanted to sponsor a kid in the philippines what org should i check out?

There's plenty of single Filipino mums on the Internet.\nChat to some on yahoo chat and just offer to sponsor their kids.\nAt least all the money goes to the right place and not swallowed up by a big organisation.\nYou will have to pick a good family though. Anyone there would bite your hand off for cash.\nOr try someone like PLAN. \nBut to tell you the truth I personally don't trust big organisations that take in lots of money.
