My friend likes this girl that is in all of my classes. He has asked me to find out if she likes him or not. How do I do this subtly? (it would be much easier to tell her outright, but he told me not to)

just tell her, "My friend thinks your cute and his name is .....whatever. Do you know who he is? (wait for response) Do you think he is cute?" Like that but don't come off as a jerk. Cuz then you messed it all up. But don't come off flirty either cuz then she'll think the "friend" is you.


does anyone here besides me have a thing out for lil' ghetto azn kid. i think she is a real stalker.  she didn't like one of the answers i left on one of her questions.  she now answers all of my questions with, UR NOT VERY SMART ARE U???????????? UR NOT VERY GOOD LOOKING EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, what should i do.  i have already reported her for 3 of her answers but she keeps emailing me.  please help!

If you find out how to get her back, PLEASE let me know!!!  I had the same thing happen to me a few days ago by some guy named "DAVE" ... he thought one of my answers was racist and said I had an ugly soul!!  I was so offended and hurt, I deleted my question!  He then reported me a few times for other answers that weren't offensive, but I had to go to the trouble to write Yahoo and tell them!!


he  talks to me alot and guys+girls say i should go out with him his myspace says he not iinterested but he flirts w/ me???? i am totally confused

You can feel it just in you! People just tell you things cause they are jealous. Just follow what you want. :) HE IS JUST TO SCARED TO ADMIT IT.


Ok, I have posted 2 questions like this before, but this time I have the perfect example. There is some code in a link to a site that is perfect php code, but for some reason, goes haywire. I would also like to note that if I put this code in dreamweaver, it displays 98% exactly like it should. So, without further ado, here is the link, and by the way if you want more info into my problem then you can click on my name and see the other 2 questions that I asked.

That link doesn't show the code. It shows the page that is created by the code.\nFor really professional php help, I suggest trying out irc.\nthen join the server irc.freenode.net\nand the channel #php

Yes, you have to tall her how you feel. But a strong realationship isnt build just on first site... the good ones anyway, it is rare. try and become her friend first.


What does it do to your eyes? And I mean this seriously, no junk please, just the true facts

The Sun is very bright and by focussing the light onto the back of your eye (the retina) with or without a telescope, you are putting a lot of energy (both optical light and infra-red) onto a tiny area. At some point in your life you may have tried to set paper on fire using a magnifying glass, so just think about that being done to the back of your eye. It isn't nice. Even more scarily is the fact that the retina of your eye does not have pain receptors, so you will not even feel the damage being done. It may not even become apparent until later.

I am a stay at home mom, so I have no income in my name. Right now, everything that we have financed is in my husband's name. I would like to start to build credit in my name too, just in case anything ever happens to him, and I need to be able to finance something without him. What can I do to get started?

I got my first credit card when I was about 20. I had no credit history and not much income, but i was able to get a card with a credit limit of  maybe $250 from a department store.


it off like you dont like him no more but the feelings keeps coming back.what sould i do please help me because i really like this guy.

If this guy doesn't like you, sweety there is nothing that you could do. I have been in a situation like this before. I had a crush on someone for three yrs. Everytime i saw him, my heart melted right into my hands. As time went on with him knowing how i felt, and not once did he care, i gradually got over him, it took some time but i did. Compared to the type of women that he was dealing with, in my mind i felt that he just let something good slip right passed him. If a man doesn't realize what they could have had, then hey their loss. If he can't see the good woman in you, then someone will. He's not worth your sleepless nights, your tears, your pain. Get up from there, fix yourself up, and take yourself out.


I LIKE THIS BOY I MEET IN THE MALL AND I GOT HIS NUMBER AND HE GOT MINE .EVERY TIME I CALL HE DOSN'T ANSWER AND I LEAVE MESSSAGES FOR HIM BUT HE DOSN'T CALL BACK AND I JUST CALL AND HIS FRIEND PICKED UP AND SAID HE WAS DOING SOMETHING SO I TOLD HIM TO TELL THE BOY TO CALL ME BACK. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Pak board too play quite a lot for them..


what organisims were created? how do minerals fit in

The earth has evolved geologically, chemically, and biologically.  Geologically:  When the earth formed, it was basically a molten mass.  It cooled, and settled into layers, with the densest layers in the center, and the least dense in the crust.  The atmosphere of the early earth was basically methane, ammonia, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.  The hydrogen escaped, the carbon of the carbon dioxide bonded with rock.I don't recall what happened to the rest.  But, when life began, it was life that found oxygen a poison.  However, when photosynthetic organisms appeared, they actually produced oxygen as a waste product.  Some forms of life evolved to be able to use the oxygen to permit them to more efficiently extract the energy from organic compounds.  As far as life itself is concerned, the first organisms, according to the current model, were extremophiles - they were one celled organisms living in extreme environments, such as the volcanic vents on the ocean floor.  Life gradually evolved from simple unicellular to more complex unicellular to multicellular.  Geologically, when the earth was new, there was very little land.  As a result of volcanic activity, grantic crust formed, which underlies the continents.  The continents, or rather the crustal plates on which they "float" have been moving since they formed due to convection currents within the earth's mantle.  So, the layout of the land forms has been changing, and with them, the ocean currents.  This has resulted in a gradual and constant change in climate.


My wife and I are married almost 16 years. I know she would like a new wedding ring. How do I go about finding out exactly what kind she would want without letting her know I am getting it for her. If I do pick one out, could I return it if she does not like it?

This is an exercise that will require you to use every bit of knowledge you obtained over your 16 years of matrimony.\n\nAssumedly, "looking around" won't work because you don't want her to know that you're even considering it.\n\nGo to jewelry stores that have a return policy. They do exist, but it happens to be a tricky process.\n\nJust go with your hunch, and don't get anything crazy or different from the general feeling that you have about what she wants.


SHE HAS WAITED 17 AND 19 YEARS TO FILE FOR CHILDSUPPORT IS THERE SUCH A LAW IN TN THAT WOULD ALLOW THAT I KNOW I HAVE TO PAY UNTIL THEY REACHED 18 HELP ME OUT WITH THIS UNFAIR JUSTICE I HAVE BEEN GIVING HER MONEY FOR MY KIDS SINCE THEY WERE BORN.

First, if you have been giving her money, make sure to get all of your cancelled checks and receipts in order.\n\nAs for petitioning for back child support ... in most states, yes she can!  However, there is usually a time limit.  In some states three years, in other states it can be longer. \n\nI strongly suggest that you go to a local office of your state's Support Enforcement or Support Collection office.  Ask them for copies of all documents relevant to the TN Child Support & Collections Standards Act.  This is where you will find your answers.\n\nIf she does petition the Family Court, then you should have a good lawyer with you.  Remember, your level of familarity with the TN Support & Collections Standards Act is in direct relation to how much you'll have to pay an attorney.  If you thoroughly arm yourself with knowledge about your state laws, you'll be able to prepare much of your own case documentation, thereby reducing the amount you pay to an attorney.\n\nBeen there, done that, and it ain't fun! Best of Luck to you.\n\nEdited}\n\nTo qualify the above statement, let me add that I do not reside in your state.  TN may have different laws than the states that I have dealt with.  You should find your answer in the Standards Act to which I referred.  Also, if the 19 yr old has emancipated, then any back support you may be ordered to pay should exclude any time following the emancipation.\n\nI have personal experience with this type of issue in two states, and have found that the courts display a bias toward the mother.  I really hope this all works out for you and that you're able to keep this out of the courts.


tell yourself "just do it, you gotta do it anyway"


He is really strict cristian...and never talks to me about personal stufff, what do i do????

Try to talk him into it slowly. Ask him about his 1st gf and try to compare yourself to him. Tell him that now a days a gf is like a best friend. OR  Get a gf and dont tell him if he asks just tell him that is is one of your friends. Go out on GROUP dates. Parents love them.\n         Hope im a help!


I have just come across a bunch of "Elvis" memorabilia and I'd like to find out what it's worth, if anything.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out?  I live in the Chicagoland area.

I'd be willing to bet there are a goodly number of Elvis fan clubs on the net.  They probably have ads and/or swaps of memorabilia.  Take a look and ask questions if they provide a bulletin board or email address where you can do so.\n\nAlso, there's good old reliable eBay.  Not so much to put your things up for sale, as to see what similar items are already listed and what prices they command.


I also want to make sure my nano will fit as it says all models but does not list the nano.


what is the youngest I should look at for dating?

Depends on your personality, physical activity and how you look. Heck, if you act like a 25 year old, you may get one, that is if you are mentally stable and wise. But, in all actuality, you should probably stop at 33. 10 years isn't bad.


Sort of like on a train, or bus or at a bar where you just brush your arm against someone (of the opposite sex that is).  I think it feels cool.  Anyone else every experienced this, noticed it.  By the way this is the first time I have ever asked this question, anywhere.  Kinda cool.  Again try to be gental ;-)

yes I have and many people have done it to me. It's cool to "accidentally touch them cause you are dying to "really" touch them. I use to do it all the time with someone I love and he did it with me too cause we were too afraid to fess up that we were crazy about each other.


If i wish to say i was glancing through the newspaper [not actually reading whts the correct word][preferably slang ....quickly??????

glancing is almost there... you would say, "I skimmed through the paper."  But with glancing, it hints at you looking at it even less... so you, "Glanced at it." as in you looked at it really quickly probably only once.\n \nSo on a scale:\nreading:  you looked at it a lot, getting lots of information out of the article\nskimmed:  looked at most of the article but not very closely... just to pick up the main ideas and some detail\nglanced:  probably only got the main ideas.


I feel the need to answer questions, whether good answers or bad.

You can also get to the next level (with more answers allowed) faster if you rate, vote, put your asked questions to a vote, etc.  When I run out of answers, that's what I do.  At least it's getting me closer to the goal of answering more.  (I'm the same way, I love answering questions!)  :)

can someone please explain wiccan to me-can these people really perform spells and move things, levitate,  etc..\nalso why do people go goth, is it the same as wiccan?\neverything i've heard about goth are just very unhappy young people who think about death alot.  please enlighten me.

I am a fourth generation (in America) Wiccan. Ameriwiccan ;) We do not levitate and only the wanna be type will cast spells and silly things like that. Wiccans believe in free will at its highest level with no repercussions so long as you harm nobody or thing along the path of your choosing. it is not an organized religion and has many fractals. Truth be told about the spell casting; A wiccan believes in energies and astral energies in which we are all connected to and with enough concentration and meditation a Wiccan can cause effect or affect on someone or something. Like the bible says "see it as though it is" The Wiccan ways says " Think it, Say it, Believe it, Live it " Candles and herbs are used by Wiccans as corner stones to reinforce belief or meditations to reach goals. Herbs are used mainly for medicines and to achieve certain states of mind. There is no such thing as evil spirits that can posess you if you choose to explore the Wiccan ways. Wiccans celebrate the earth and body and the seasons, Sabats and Esbats are the Major and Minor equinox celebrations. It is a kind and respectful way of life. Not evil and certainly not riddled with guilt or fear. Gothic people are just into the artistic side of gloom and horror, they are seemingly deep people who reside mostly within themselves. Some troubled, some not. They are no different than any other clique such as rocker, punker or whatever.\n\nIf you want to know more, research online, but be careful, there is a whole bunch of junk explanations of Wicca. You may contact me directly. I will be happy to answer any questions.

We both have been a little busy, but he hasn't made an effort to see me when he is not busy.  I am worried that he is seeing someone else.  It has been about 3 weeks since the last time we went out on a date.  He lives about an hour away from me, but that wasn't a problem in the past.

Well it's not official over until one or the other says so. my advice would be to try to save your relationship while you can. It also seems to me that you guys are playing that "since I'm too busy to call you game. I don't have time to call you either". Don't play that game give him a call if you feel he's too busy. Try letting him know how you are feeling right now. Don't let it just pass by like that you need to let him know because he's not a mind reader and neither are you so talk to the guy and find out what's really going on.


An idea about our current chief of staff.  \nThe Current state of this Economy.\nAnd how can we improve.

I have heard this remark in several interviews.

Sounds to me like they mean that Java will be next in line for the 'nitch' market.  Cobol really doesn't have wide accepetance in the market unless you are doing main frame work and God forbid you run a mainframe with Java as the core.\n\nIn otherwords, even though Java was a good idea..it's not catching on as fast as Sun hoped and wants, and most likly will be shoved over by the next 'great' thing in programming.


we have 2 kids, im pregnant again, and i want to be a better sexual partner..who do i do this?

I have found that a pregnant woman makes a very good sexual lover. If he is still with you after two kids and one on the way, you must be doing the right things.


I have a girlfriend and we love eachother. There is no doubt we will be getting married. I love her very much and I never want anything to come between us. I want to stay mature, optimisic, patient, and still enjoy cuddling on the couch in 20 years. Everyone says marrages get worse or change, why? Maybe its because they expect them to.

Marriage only get's worse when the people involved stop doing the things they did to build the relationship. \nFor instance if a relationship is based on Lust. how long to you think it will last when you both stop being creative in bed. \nNow if it's based on communication the same thing applies. \nhow long will it last when money is tight and your both working to pay the bills, then have a child or 3 and they demand your attention due to the care they require. How often do you think you will have those long heart to heart talks? It's the loss of each person "5 basic needs" that triggers things like affairs, marrital abuse and the empting of your love bank.\n\nRead a few of the books I listed below. They can really help BUT you need constant work in a marriage. just because you said I DO does not mean it will get easier. in fact that is when the real work begins.

By what i see most questions in the religous are by none christions who just want to see a young christion how does not know what they are talking about to say something to condem them or in there mind give them a right to hate christions. On the other hand it is christions trying to prove them selves. i think it is time for some real questions to be asked. how is willing to step up to the plate and ask a good question.

Most of the questions in every category are pretty stupid. You've got to wade through them a little bit and separate the wheat from the chaff, but I think it's worth it.\n\nI'd also point out that one of the beautiful things about YA is that anyone can post thought-provoking questions. If you're down on the quality of questions, it's up to you to raise the bar.


Damn it, I've been in many other countries that have just as many or more fat people than America.  People all over the world are fat as hell and eat like sh** yet Americans have the reputation for unhealthiness.

Despite what you have witnessed in other countries you may be comparing a small sample size relative to the entire population of the country you are visiting.  Americans clearly and statistically have the worst diet, are the most overweight and have the highest percentage of obese people in the world.  Ever been to Texas?\n\nThe progression is clear from decades past especially in young people which are a good representation of future health.\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hestats/overwght99.htm\n\nSorry my friend, but facts are facts and you can't refute them.


Also, what's the cause of sinuses being stuffed-up all the time? (so I know what to avoid)

Use a clean room humidifier in your home, especially during sleep.  Check to see if you have allergies to certain things like dust, mold, pollen, wheat, dairy products, animals etc.  It may mean avoiding these allergy invoking substances or taking meds that help prevent the allergic symptoms when you can't avoid them.  Drink plenty of water, juices etc to keep your body well hydrated from the inside.  It will help thin secreations in your nose and lungs.\n\nA hot, dry atmosphere is not healthy for the airway system...you can't control the weather outside, but you can control the living conditions in your home.  Do not overheat your home....a cool, moist atmosphere is healthier than hot and/or dry atmosphere.


Does it travel beter through a cool a hot or a frezing environment for that matter?

I think yes, definately! I work on Alaska's North Slope and I know that sound absolutely travels better at extremely cold temperatures. When it is minus 40 or 50 F you can hear vehicles coming from a much greater distance for example. Can't say why exactly. Maybe because the molecules in the air are closer together (condensed) and therefore transmit sound more efficiently (like water).

The way I see it, your religion forbids the depiction of Mohammed, Allah, etc., because it leads to idolatry.  OK, if that's a rule you want to follow, that's fine with me.\n\nMany Catholics believe they are forbidden from eating meat on Friday, but if a Muslim decided to chomp on a mutton Shawarma, there wouldn't be riots over it.\n\nMy point is that it is a belief of YOUR religion that YOU cannot depict YOUR god or prophet - please explain to me how you can fairly extend this rule to the other 5 billion people on the planet.\n\nIf you feel insulted, OK - but again, does that justify calling for executions of non-believers?  Can you see why Westerners are VERY concerned with your religion?\n\nI hope this question doesn't seem too pointed.  I'm trying to not lecture.  I'm really interested in understanding why violence is ALWAYS the first option in your culture.

If you are frank in your question, here is a frank answer from a Muslim:\n\nYes, ‘violence’ seems to be the first option in Muslim populated countries. \n\n1. Most of the Muslim population in the world has lower living standards, more socio-economic problems in comparison with Western population. The extremists are usually belong to the lowest income level and uneducated. Religion is the only thing for them to hold on in life and only way to satisfy the ‘being a part of something bigger than them’. Therefore, their belief and devotion are easily misused by Muslim and Non-Muslim opportunists/leaders/ politicians who benefit from the sparks/rows/conflicts. \n\n2. For these groups, violence is the only way of ‘reaction’ and also comes to scene with the support of opportunists. On the other hand,  some of them, of course,  know the other ways of ‘reaction’ or ‘opposition’ but don’t believe that they are going to work anymore.\n\nI didn’t like the cartoons also. I am not planning to take gun and bust an embassy but I am not planning to protest it in any other proper way also. Frankly, I  do not think that it will make any difference or contribute to any debate. In this part of the world, lots of things go wrong, which western countries, especially U.S have a major role. For sure, being insulted by cartoons cannot be a justification of violence. Two wrong does not make one right. What about Palestine ? This should be applicable there also. What is the justification of the violence, especially to the women & children and by the hand of a government? Does two wrong make one right there? Recent election showed that today consderable number of people in Palestine support Hamas. Why? They has been suffering for years, waiting to be heard by the ones who has been lecturing them the human rights. Today not only a group of terrosits but the majority does not believe a solution/reaction any other than violence. What about Iran Nuclear Row ? I am not happy with the idea of Iran having Nuclear bombs. But also I don’t understand why U.S, Israil can develop it but Iran cannot. As for conclusion, from our standing point, it looks like there is a western hypocrisy in many cases. I believe that most of the Muslims lost the belief to western world, their system of values and understanding of democracy and most importantly they lost the belief to the other ways of ‘being heard’, ‘react’ and ‘make difference’     \n  \n3. I believe that the cartoons are not the reason of this violence but the excuse. \n\nPiled up anger found a crack to explode. This part of the world is bleeding. Palastine, Afganhistan, Iraq. Do you think that we are happy living in region of wars? \nI thought that Syria going to be next but it looks like it is going to be Iran. May be after Iran and Syria, it is going to be turn of my country. I personally show a serious effort not to provide any excuse to U.S. and Britain to sweep away my country and also try not to complain a lot about my country in order not to provide them any opportunity to come and rescue me and equip me with their understanding of democracy (!)\n\nI think  most of the Muslims living in this part of the world are angry in some extent to  U.S and Western countries because of their middle east ambition, because of interference which is obviously not contributing the peace in the region. Therefore, I believe that although the cartoons have serious role in reaction, it seems like they are mostly an excuse for violence. \n\nThe most interesting thing in this picture is that they discharged their anger to European countries although it is well known that there is certain anger even hatred against U.S in most of the Muslim countries.  In this case, the U.S., country of freedom, stepped back in a case of ‘freedom of expression’ , criticized the cartoons and didn’t want contribute a supporting debate that insulting Muslims, which is very touching by the way (!) \n\nThere can


A description of what would you see hear and feel if you spent some time alone in nature.

First, I can hear the quietness. Then other sounds start creeping in. The sound of water rushing down the stream, the call of one bird to another, the cadence of crickets and frogs in the thickets of the forest. I can hear the rustling of the bushes disturbed by some unknown animal. I can smell the pine trees. I see the baby deer drinking water from the stream as a watchful doe looks on in careful wariness. I feel completely serene and at one with nature. (Cause I would make sure to leave my kids at home with my husband, lol).


I want to buy a laptop for work and pleasure. Mobile tech.like a blackberry has. Down load vids and mpegs. from folks from out state. Internet,want to pick up for a 1000 0r less could pay little more if needed.upgradeable. maybe play some simulation games(flying) just need ideas for getting one what brand? amd or pentium??? help please thanks Shane P.S. for use on go home work.(in the sticks) i like best buy stores any othere ideas?

Just a suggestion, try to work on spelling and grammar. That said, AMD is better both for price and in many cases performance. Most laptops are pretty much not upgradeable, except if you want to replace the hard drive or add limited memory, unlike a desktop where you can upgrade just about anything. For the flying games, you want to make sure you try and find a laptop that advertises a video card with at least 128 megs of ram, not to be confused with the laptops ram, which should be at least 512MB if not 1 gig. I also suggest a built in wi-fi card, which most laptops come with now anyways. Best buy is a good place to buy a computer, and if possible try and buy an extended service plan warranty :).\nI Hope this helps!\nP.S. Don't get an eMachines...personal experience.


The kids next door play on my porch, in my front yard, open the gate and play in the backyard.  Let my dog out of the yard, and I have to find her, and won't listen when I tell them to go away.  Their parents won't make them stop-any ideas?

I'd continue to politely request that the parents control their children, padlock the gate, post no trespassing signs and finally alert the police.  If you are absent during these trespasses, hopefully you can enlist your other neighbor to make the call.  At the very least they should send a patrol car.  Your privacy is being violated and it is an issue you have every right to stand up for and expect no retaliation.  I would also suggest to the parents that your property may have hazards on it and you would be stricken should a child be injured on it.  BE careful not to sound threatening, but more like an ocd individual.


Who made crayola crayons? how did they make crayons? how did they come up with the idea to make crayons?

The Origins of Crayola® Crayons\nNoticing a need for safe, quality, affordable wax crayons, the company produces the first box of eight Crayola® crayons, selling for a nickel in 1903. The Crayola name, coined by Edwin Binney's wife Alice, comes from "craie," the French word for chalk, and "ola," from "oleaginous." \n\nSince 1903, when Binney & Smith introduced the first Crayola crayons, people have been fascinated with the history of the color names.

If they draft a runningback well then they have a 2 running back system and that rarely happens.So they should trade with like the new york jets get the #4 pick also get John abraham a premere DE.and then draft D'brick 'a 'shaw fergurson tell me if you agree or disagree

They might trade the pick because they have many needs to improve the team, all of which contributed to their 2-14 season. they might trade it for offensive line players, or maybe some defensive players, they are deperately in need of good players in many positions, though, that's for sure.


I have a phone friend for 2 years now and we haven't seen each other in person. But we always talked on the phone even if he is away from my country. He calls me even if it is long distance and when he is here in my country he only stays for a 3 days because of a business trip and we talked for 2-3 hrs on the phone. I don't know what his feelings were for me. He still don't have any gf at this time cuz he always say to me he just didn't met her yet and he don't if any girl will be able to cope up w/ his worktime cuz he is always traveling. He told me that he really want to meet me. He did come here in my place one time but I didn't meet him because I am so afraid what will his reaction be. I don't know if we will still have the same relationship after we see each other. I'm just afraid that he will not call me again after he sees me in person. He does have a pic of me and he said that he likes it.Does he have any feelings for me? Should I meet him oneday?

i say yes, meet the guy someday, but as for whether he has "feelings" for you or not... i am not a mind reader. can't help you there... but i think i can say that he thinks you're a good friend...


the turn purple campaign is an campaing to raise the awareness of child abuse, and child homelessness. A petition is being circulated to collect a million signatures of American's who recognize the problem of child abuse as a precursor to youth homelessness and seek to advocate for their needs; You can give ur name , email , age, sex, city , state , zip code or at least some of the info to sign the petition . to sign the petition go to http://www.standupforkids.org/petitionapplication.asp\nIf u dont want to do it the just write the info on the answer to this Question and my School club UNICEF will do it for u on the website. If u do go to the website please write a msg on the answer to the Question saying u did so we can know how many people signed their name . Thank you.. wed really appreciate it . \n http://www.turnpurple.org/about.html\ngo to this website to find out more about it

I believe the reason no one else has answered is the same as my reason, but I figured I may as well tell you.  I do not like to answer questions that expect me to "hit the blue line" before I do.  I have been burned by viruses (virii?) too many times, and too many times simply found that the next thing wanted was my contact information.  Then spam comes spewing out my email inbox like the owl post to Harry Potter in the first movie!\n\nI love kids, and hate to think of them being abused, but I know that such a tear-jerker cause can be exploited shamelessly by people who are far more interested in their own agenda.  I do not want to fall victim to those types anymore than I want kids to fall victim to any abuser.\n\nThere are also sensitive issues about false claims of abuse during heated divorce cases, people who consider the term "child abuse" a convenient buzz word every time a parent disciplines a child, however mildly, etc.  There are people who would force parents to surrender their rights to their children to "security," as our federal government has asked us to surrender our right to privacy to "security."  There are people who would shut down a day-care center on charges of abuse, when what they really want is to gain control over the children themselves.\n\nIt's a mean, mean world out there, and I hope you are sincere.  I'm not convinced this is the way to go about what you are trying to do (I hope) to help the kids themselves.


It has been happening to me alot and I need to find a way to stop it.

Use a humidifier indoors and apply moisturizer on your skin. Wear shoes made of wooden soles and avoid wearing synthetic material. More tips at the websites below:\nhttp://www.school-for-champions.com/science/staticcont.htm


im desperate to loose weight, i just bought hydroxcycut but just stopped using it for now, i don't feel anything , using it.

Hydroxycut and similar stimulant based fat reduction supplements don't work overnight.  Since it is a stimulant, some amount of time is needed for it to increase your baseline metabolism.  In addition, in my experience, they don't work well on their own.  However, if you continue use for a month or more and combine it with a proper amount of cardio work and reasonable diet (not starvation - but not a box of oreas a day either) then it can provide significant results.  I'll typically take 2/3 the recommended dosage for a month in the spring and then back off to 1/2 dosage after that.  It's always worked for me, so even though it's not a miracle pill, it's worth it for my money.


It's not "nuke-ular" so why doesn't one of his speech writers tell him "Ahh, Mr. President, you are saying this word incorrectly..." I don't have a high regard for Pres. Bush's intelligence (but I do have respect for the office) and this has become an example of public stupidity which is totally unacceptable!

Simple.\nHe has this thing about killing\nNew-killer\nHis record is evident.\nHe is not interested in new-clear. Clearing up the mess.

no, he bought it, he sold it, he keeps the money


Calculate the mass in kilograms of a flea that has a weight of 5 X 10^ -6 N.

On Earth, at surface level, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. Weight = mass*acceleration, and so mass of flea = 5.097*10^-7 kg


There is not hard evidence that the antichrist will be Jewish. There is a few "maybes" but nothing definate. He arises out of Europe, that is all we know really--that and he has a BIG mouth.\nYes, a third of the world will be destroyed by the many judgments, but it will not focus on one continent, it will be world-wide, including the seas.

im making my boyfriend cookies for valentines day with nothing to put the cookies in any ideas???

one thing you could do is put the cookies in jar, then put a valentinesy square of fabric over the top and tie it down with ribbon, like a lid. it looks festive but its not overdone. you could also do somethign more personal, like if your boyfriend is really into skateboarding find a box and glue on magazine scraps with cool skateboarding logos and pics. any collage could really dress up a container and a magazine or advertisement to cut up shouldnt be too hard to find.


i mean like text messaging from internet to cell phone and vice versa

If you know the person's cell phone carrier then you can go to that website and send a text message from the website - be sure to include your email address for return contact so that they can contact you back.  For instance you can go to cingular's website and send a text message to anyone who has a Cingular cell phone plan.


i like  him he is cute but i am not sure if i should really go after him.

You'll never know until you confront him. Don't miss this chance! Who know he have the same feeling about you? Or, you could start slowly by being his friend first and get to know him well before you act. Drop him a hint or two maybe? But don't get desparate, it's soo out..

I just received a letter from Nashville Music Productions and they liked my song.  The company will cover studio recording, engineering, mastering and manufacturing costs, and I'm to pay the music arrangers fee of $350.  The co-writing arrangement will give me 50% of writers credit, rights, and 50% of any writers royalties collected on the song.  This is my first song.  Does anyone out there know anything about the music business?  Is the music arrangers fee worth it?  Please help me out.  I have 20 days to make a decision or this unfilled slot on the CD that my song is to be in will go to someone else.

Its probably best that you contact one of the collection societies such as BMI/Ascap whom should be able to advise you whether its worth it. If the arrangers are getting the other 50% of writers royalties, then I'm not so sure that there is a need to pay them. Because as you're relying on receiving payment that way, then maybe they should?! But you've also got to take in to account that studio time is being paid for, and this in itself is probably worth the fee that you are paying out.


the other answer is partially correct. PK means pinksheets. However pinksheets is not owned by NASDAQ and most NASDAQ companies meet strict guidelines to be listed. As for pinkseet stock, very limited if any disclosures are required to be in place for a listing. If you go to pinksheets.com you can read all about it.  You can also check the individual stock and see exactly what information is available. While they don't have to report, some do voluntary reports.\n\nbtw- the .pk or .ob seem to have been added sometime ago by Yahoo for quote purposes. Has nothing to do with what country they are from. It has to do with the exchange they are listed on.


he is kind,sweet, funny an d good kisser but he is to obsessional and to gelos :( i dont know how to tell him about his reactions and our relationship....

that sort of behavior always leads to trouble, you get annoyed and they have their expectations ruined and get mad, or they expect you to be with them 25 hours/day 8 days/week

I was married to a man that bled me dry.  He had very bad credit and used my name to get credit cards and others things.  He never paid the bills.\nWe have now been divorced four years and I pay my rent and utilities on time, but can't get any credit.  How can I show I am a good person without someone giving me a chance?

It sounds as if your FICO score has been decimated by your ex. A FICO score is a snapshot of your credit risk picture at a particular point in time. The higher your score, the lower the risk to lenders. A FICO score can range from 300 to 850. The very best rates go to people with scores above 770, but a score of 700 is considered good (the average score is somewhere around 725), says Craig Watts, Fair Isaac's spokesperson. If your score is in the low 600s or below, it's time for concern. As you fall below about 600, you will see an increase in your lending rates. \n\nThe first step to increasing your score is to know where you currently stand. By law everyone is entitled to a free copy once a year. Also, you are entitled to a copy of your credit file free if you have been denied credit from the bureau that reported the information. If you've been denied credit, you must apply for your file this within 60 days of the denial. Log on to http://www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.\n\nOne way to instantly up your FICO score is to be put on an account with another individual who has a good credit score. You only need to be an authorized user, NOT actually ever use or even have possesion of the credit card.Your name only has to be associated with the account. By "piggybacking" on an account with someone who has good credit, you instantly up your own. Conversely, being on an account with someone who has bad credit drags your score down (as you have found out!). \n\nGenerally, people with high FICO scores consistently:\n* Pay bills on time.\n* Keep balances low on credit cards and other revolving credit products.\n* Apply for and open new credit accounts only as needed.\n\nFICO scores consider five main kinds of credit information. Listed from most important to least important, these are:\n* Payment history.\n* Amount owed.\n* Length of credit history.\n* New credit.\n* Types of credit in use.\n\nTalk with your lenders about the circumstances around you/ your ex's late payments. You can request that certain data be taken off or amended on your report. They may or may not do it but it is worth a try if it improves your score.\n\nBTW, one thing a person should NEVER do as it ADVERSELY affects their FICO score is close accounts once they are paid off! That actually lowers your credit score. FICO scores take into account your debt to credit ratio: \n\nIf you have 3 credit cards with $1,000 limits on each and they were all maxed out your debt to credit ration would be 100% of your available line. If you paid of two of the cards in full your debt to credit ration would be 33% (you only owe $1,000 on $3,000 of available credit). If you closed the two accounts you paid off and had one card left maxed out at $1,000 you would instantly go back up to a 100% debt to credit ration. So, bottom line when you pay a card off- Never close the account, just cut the card up.\n\nHere is an article from SmartMoney.com on "Credit Fixes That Can Fix You"- http://www.smartmoney.com/debt/advice/index.cfm?story=creditfixes\n\nand "Keeping Score" about improving your FICO score- \nhttp://www.smartmoney.com/nowwhat/index.cfm?story=20020826

well on da first day of highschool, i noticed this guy looking at me, and i thought yeh preety cute, the other day he was walking behind me talking bout me and he stared up at me from da bottom of da stairs. this morning i think i almost caught him lookin at me again but as soon as i looked at him he instantly looked down again. does he like me?

First off..if you think your friend likes him too, talk to your friend before makeing any contact with this guy.If you guys are really good friends don't ruin a friendship over a guy.\nSecondly..after you talk with your friend and you guys make an agreement of some kind, then try talking to the guy. Sounds to me he likes you.But you will never know until you talk to him. Maybe he is just a little shy :) Good luck and think before you act.


Some people have hate so build up inside that they go out and kill anyone. Why are most of us even born if we end up on triel for murger? Thats kind of sad. I know some people go through a lot of crap so they could care less who they hurt. Yet There are to many who kill for fun. Why is love not as strong of a word as hate is? Well at lest it seems that way.

b/c if you never love and only hate then nobody can break your heart. hate is not and never will be a stronger word than love, it only seems this way b/c it has a negitive effect on a person and hurts were as love makes you feel good about yourself.


this started to happen after i used the restoring becuz it was saying that the opperating sistem was missing i was available to recover everything but it just keeps asking to press f1 before beginning. thasnx for ur help

There might be some Error in bios configuration so it asks you to press F1 so that bios can be reseted.. If you have changed anything in bios without knowledge then correct it or else follow the steps\n\n1) Go to bios by pressing\n   F2 for onboard Intel chipset, Del for original Intel motherboard\n2) Reset the bios\n\n3) Save settings and exit by pressing F10\n\n4) system gets restart, if problem dosent stops then you mail me back with the details

I'm not sure if it's Class I but I have a friend who was pulled over with a small amount of marijuana while driving high.  It's been over a year and still no prosecution has resulted, due to police procrastination, I guess.  Is it too late for the Man to charge him?

It's impossible to know, because such laws vary greatly from state to state, and certainly the statute of limitations would not be set for all class I misdemeanors.


I would like a 3 bedroom home anad I have tried. I am divorced and sort of like Tna Turner, I left with the clothes on my back. My credit is poor but I still want to own my own home somewhere in Fort Worth

My best advice would be to start by opening a new credit line.  Paying your bills on time and saving as much as you can.  Credit can be a bummer when it comes to buying a home.  Good luck!


I have to make a PR campaign as a school project to make teens who smoke realise it is not good for them. And I don't really know how to make this, so PLEASE help me with some sugestios!!\n\nI put the title "Don't end your life before you start it!". It is supposed to be a motivational title. IS IT?\n\nAs a strategy I put:\n- meetings with kids in some high-schools with doctors to explain the danger of smoking, psycologists talking about how bad addiction is for you AND cool teens who have diseases from smoking to tell how they thought at start it was fun, then they couldn't stop it and then they got ill.\n- meetings with their parents to tell them to encourage teens to do sports (sporty kids don't smoke that much).\n- a telephone line for teens to get advice on how to stop smoking and live a healthy life.\n- sport events for teens\n\nAs an evaluation method I thought of secret voting at the end of the school meetings with 2 questions: Do you smoke? and Do you plan to stop smoking

I'm a teen.....You should try and get them interested in not smoking by something that they like that is constructive. I been persuaded not to sniff Sharpies by reading Manga.


I learned Piano about 12 years ago, and now have electronic keyboards. Eagerly wanting to play for fun and accompaniment, specially for Gospel. Any recommended Books, Internet Sites and practice recommendations? Thanks!

I recommend my own site to learn how to turn midis into sheet music\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/midi_to_music_scores.php\n\nGo onto emule and search "sheet music" on razorback 2.

Hi, I'm trying to do some reactions and I basically understand everything about the different types+ balancing and stuff, but there are a couple like this - sodium hydroxide+ nitric acid--> (NaOH+HNO3-->), where I don't really understand 1.) what type it is (I think double displacment), 2.) how you would solve it and 3.) the answer. Mainly its just that there is 3 elements instead of the normal two that is throwing me off!

It is a Neutralization Reaction...In general, a neutralization reaction between an acid and a metal hydroxide produces water and a salt.  \n\nYou are adding 2 aqueous solutions together.  A strong base (NaOH) and a strong acid (HNO3)...The correct equation:\n\nNaOH(aq) + HNO3(aq) ---> H20(l) + NaNO3(aq)\n\nNow to write this in an ionic equation complete with charges for each ion:\n\nNa+ + OH- + H+ + NO3- ---> H2O + Na+ + NO3-\n\nCanceling out the "specatator ions" (ions that go through a reaction unchanged and appear on both sides of a ionic equation) leaves us with:\n\nOH-(aq) + H+(aq) ---> H2O\n\nHope that helps!

is theres a way to find out the age of a tree without cutting it

Yes she is quite right. They do core samples. For example, look at the tree ring laboratory at the University of Arizona (link below in references). This field is called dendochronology, and dating by counting tree rings is an important dating technique. \n\nIf one does not want to cut the tree down, then the age of the tree could be roughly estimated by its height and/or diameter, although obviously this depends strongly on the conditions in which the tree is growing and has been growing. If there are limbs that have fallen off the tree, these will also have rings on them, so one can see the growth of the limb since the limb formed, which will give some lower bound on the age. In some cases, runoff patterns around the tree and downhill from the tree can give some sort of estimate as to how long it has existed there, securing the ground from erosion. I would expect some of these methods to have fairly large error bars, however.


I need a router... it needs to be cheap also... it needs to be able to work on a windows 98 computer too

My experience with Windows 98 machines is that USB or wireless is pretty hopeless.  If the machine doesn't have Ethernet, I'd recommend buying an inexpensive Ethernet card -- you can get them for less than $10.\n\nOnce you have Ethernet, any router will do to connect to DSL.  My favorite brand is Linksys.


I get cold sores on my lips occasionally.  How do I prevent them and how do I treat them to go away soon.

Cold sores seem to be triggered by stress and/or a depressed immune system (which is why they are called cold sores - they can occur when you're sick) so keeping healthy and relaxed can help a lot.\n\nSee the below page for some helpful treatments/prevention measures.  I have used L-Lysine to some success in the past - I have not had a cold sore in over three years!


How do you know it's the right person for you that you really did find the love of your life?

I'm a single Mom with 3 small kids. Only time I have for myself is late at night. Any suggestion?

Reading books is always a good idea. Perhaps you could make your own candles. You not only get to enjoy making them, but you could then enjoy them while you burn them and sit down with a nice book, a cup of coffee and some cake (possibly in a nice warm bubble bath)\n\nYou could also find a craft. Painting, drawing, writing, cross hook, painting/making shirts... Scrapbooking is also really great, with 3 kids I think you would have plenty of things to make it for. \n\nPurchase a subscription to an online movie club, i.e. Blockbuster or Netflix. Get yourself a plan and then rent some movies that you enjoy, just to relax and unwind.\n\nThere's a lot out there. Think of what your interests are and then find a hobby that might incorporate them.\n\nHope this helps


so please tell me whether i have to propose for love or not yet

move along buster, someone beat you to her


How do you see these questions in your minds eye, describe what you see....

America as I see it now...greedy. Heaven on earth...everyone working together for the greater good, loving one another, helping each other before a crisis to prevent the crisis from happening, trusting one another,truly innocent until proven guilty.


Mathematicaly, I mean. What (if any) are the cool nerdy things about 42?

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.\n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.


Know the lyrics to the rap song, My Humps, guys saying, What you gonna do with all that junk, that junk inside that trunk girl saying, I'm gonna get you drunk, blah blah blah... It's got the African-American chick trying on clothes listening to this. No, it really doesn't bother me personally, but do we want our kids growing up where commercials like this are commonplace?\nhttp://www.lyricstop.com/albums/blackeyedpeas/myhumps.html

I believe you may be looking at it the work way! \n\nIt's a popular song..it's fits the commercial..and no offense to your opinion..(I like the song, it's not exactly degrading women-it's a confident song, a confident chick singing about her curves, in a way making a statement - a party song) there are way more things on television we should be worrying about!


An easy thing to do would be to contact the major manufacturers and ask them who covers your local region of the country. They will know and be able to give you that persons contact info.


Its not the body, but the mind that processed love. The body is simply the mechanism that is used to deliver and accept that process.\n\nThe mind has developed these common instincts from human1 to todays modern humans. This process, although, quite old within us is one that we still do not understand completely. Simply, we love by instinct, we love from our heart by experience, and we love ourselves from learning. The body is simply a part of the action and not required for any of the above.

And no, you can't quit before, during or afterwards.  You gotta be working for them and remain working with them.

I did. My boss came in one day and asked why I always looked like I was in a bad mood(he said it with an attitude) so I said: You'd be in a bad mood too if you worked for an As*hole like you. He looked at me, shocked and then said , you know I should fire you for that...I replied: Fire me then.....We stood there glaring at each other for a moment then he said....go back to work.. and that was the end of it. I guess you have to know how far you can push the envelope with your boss.

I know what kind of hardware and software I need to install it, I want to start with 4 stations and a server, all conected into a DSL modem. with a multi-function printer and a regular ink-injection printer to be shared. what do I need? switch? router? hub? how can I conected them? I need a diagram. The LAN protocole I want to use is a star diagram, can anybody help me?

You should get a broadband router, for example the linksys BEFSR41. goto linksys.com and you cand find it under their product list. basically what that is going to do for you is allow you to plug 4 devices into it and share the IP address of the DSL modem. looks like this:\n\ndsl_modem ---> broadband_router ---> device 1\n                                ---> device 2\n                                ---> device 3\n                                ---> device 4\n\n(note that device 2,3,4) should show up directly under device 1)\n\nthen all four machines can use the internet at the same time. Since you also want a couple of networked printers.. you will need to expand the 4 ports of the broadband router by adding a small switch.. probably get a 8 port switch,, the switch takes the place of one of the 4 devices in the above diagram and extends that 1 device port to 8 or 16 or however many ports the switch you buy has. If you have printers that do not have network connections built into them, you will need a network print server, linksys, dlink, and all those guys have those for sale as well. basically the printer usb or parrallel cable plugs into the network print server, and the network print server in turn plugs into the switch or broadband router..


are there any horoscope sites that will tell u ur sexual compatibility with diffrent signs? most that i find only tell u the romantic type of stuff i'm talkin about the nitty gritty...

I doubt that any signs tests/horoscopes will be able to tell you that.\n\nBest bet is find the one with whom you are most compatible. I have found the following to be of best help in finding for me - hope it helps you.\n\n1) First sight - physical appeal (for me height / sizy girls)\n\n2) Friendship (if I have a good friendship with her - sexual chemistry works way better)\n\n3) Time (the longer I have been with someone; the sex is better)\n\n4) Depth (how much I 'really' care for her and vice versa)\n\nAlso, try Yahoo Personals test, it consumes about 1 hour, but its excellent - it will tell a lot about you and the one you want. Its FREE ...\n\nNotes:\nWomen arn't as much in to sex as we might want to think!


I think he was only scorned by the media during the time when people were "reacting" against the traditional, the people who were seen as being "too good."

The surname on my passport is not my birth surname but the surname of my stepfather. I reverted to my birth surname some years ago. How simple/difficult is it for me to revert the name on my passport?\n\nResponses very gratefully received!

if your birth surname is now your legal name, i would imagine you would simply apply for a new passport. In fact, i think the government would prefer that you do this.

My ex-boyfriend and I have been broken up for almost 7 months now, and when we were togeher for a year anf 2 months.  Right now we do everything like we did when we were togeher execpt getting to see each other b/c were to busy.  By the things that he says & he does shows me that he wants to be with me, but he never comes out & tells me.  What should I do & think?

he is in a comfort zone. What about you, what do you want? Think about why you broke up..Is he worth it, or can you do better than the way he treats you. Is this what you want for your future or are you just settling in your comfort zone. If he is the man you want, than just ask him, and if it is not the answer you are looking for.....move on


I think that natural resources are valuable  because they are a big part of our way of life.  We use them for lots of things.  One of the big ones that we use is coal.  Coal is a sedimentary or metamorphic rock made from partially decayed plant matter.  The United States gets 56% of their electricity from coal.  It's one of the cheapest sources of energy, its even cheaper than natural gases.  Coal provides many jobs in removing it from the earth, transporting it, and properly disposing of coal ash.  Kentucky paid over  $800 million dollars in direct wages, and directly employed 19,000  people, providing an additional 60,00 jobs.

Well, it's pretty great so far...except I think you should put a little bit more vocabulary - spice up the whole thing, and knock off your teacher's socks! Use a thesaurus if you can't think of any good words to replace lame ones!

And what in the heck are free masons "Free" from anyway--does it mean just that -Unslaved-What was it the Knights Templar found or at least went in surch of? Anyone who is an expert and feels like answering fire away--I've done some research on my own and I'm ready for the long answer--and yes I think I can handle the truth--anyone?

the templar knights were the ones that protected and found holy relics.  i know somewhere a few of the disbanded templars' familys later formed the free masons, but ive never heard of the bilterburgers.

It doesn't cut the proffits of alcohol or tobacco, in fact most stoners I know dring and smoke more while stoned than they would otherwise... it's because of Dupont... they have a financial interest in keeping it illegal... if it were legal, it would cut into their proffits in the Nylon, Pharmacutecle, and Petrochemical industries...

I would pick Matrix Organization and Collocated Matrix as my answer, but can anyone tell me the advantages of these two organizations.  can you tell me the details of Collocated Matrix?

There is no real right answer to this quesion - it depends on the organization and the number of projects they have to work on.  \n\nThe standard organization structures that are most often quoted are Functional, Weak Matrix, Balanced Matrix, Strong Matrix, and Projectized Matrix.  This last two are probably most appropriate for most organizations working on a large number of projects, but there are disadvantages to both.\n\nThe term collocation doesn't really refer to an organizational structure as much as it means having the project team in the same physical location - which could be done in any of the organizational structures.

I am trying to find out if someone has hacked into my computer.  Been having some problems trying to log into ebay, and also recieved an email requesting information that ebay claims not to have sent.  I want to find out if there is a way to see if someone has been in my computer.  Does anyone know how to check, or if there is something that can be downloaded to protect against it?

It's pretty hard to notice if someone is hacking your computer. Those ebay scam emails appear to everyone, just ignore them.\nA good way to protect yourself from hackers is a firewall. Windows XP SP2 comes with one. To make sure it's on, go to Control Panel, and then check your Windows Firewall settings. If it's set to on, you're protected from most hacker attempts, but not all.


Where ?  \nprogram ? \nthoughts ?\nPersonnal experience ?

Daytime receptions are always cheaper, same goes for weekdays.  Food and alchohol are also huge expenses.  Try sticking to a "cake only" reception w/o alchohol.  Or, if you're having a very small wedding (20 or less) have the reception at someone's house and family members can help prepare the food beforehand.  Dress options: David's bridal is always having $99 sales, or if its an option, wear your mom's or grandma's dress.


I can't afford to go to the salon, so what is the smoothest and easiest to do at home:  waxing, shaving, depilatories...?

I think shaving is the easiest.  Try doing it in a hot shower after you've been in it for a few minutes.  That will soften the hair and make the skin more able to tolerate the razor.  After you're done be sure to moisturize.  I use neosporin on my skin after shaving.  It sounds strange, but it was a tip I read on the internet and it's the best thing that ever happened to my sensitive skin.

There is this girl I like. She always says hi to me and will start conversations we have similar interests. What should I do. She is really pretty and she would be my first girlfriend I on 10th grade so is she. I am not sure if she has had a boyfreind before. And if I should ask her out where is a good place to go for a first date.

maybe you should ask her out on a date, but only as friends. go somewhere she would like to go. maybe the mall or a roller skating place, something like that. if she says "no, i don't want to go out with you, sorry", that's okay, just act cool and try to get over it. if she says yes, just keep being friends unless she makes the first move or she talks to you about being boyfriend/girlfriend.

Get over it and get on with your life.\nYou cannot change the past.  Stop living through your memories.\nShe has made her choice or she would not be engaged.


Again i ran into this quest., b/c the politics book failed to define what exactly amounts to private sales of handguns?? i am guessing like criminals selling guns online or something??

I means the owner of a handgun does not have to have an FFl to sell his personal collection. He still can't sell to a minor or known felon. This practice is still in force here in Ohio. I am a collector and buy privates sales occasionally. the risk is if it turns out to be a stolen guns you can't get your kinkies back....

I have abused alcohol and drugs in the past, and now shop for things I end up not needing or caring about in the long run. It makes me feel good when I'm doing it, but now I'm in debt and feel bad about it. My mind knows I have to stop, so why don't I? Thanks for any insight.

The act of shopping stimulates the production of endorphins, producing much the same effect as drugs do, it gives you a high.\nAddictive personalities crave this high.  That is why you have trouble stopping.\nWhat you should know is that the actual buying does not give you the same high.  The act of "window shopping" is what does.  So, if you can successfully browse without actually buying you will be taking a giant step forward!\nProlong your want.  Don't gratify instantly.  This is one of the best things I have learned in life.  Instant gratification gives too fleeting a pleasure, the pleasure is in the wanting. (and if you prolong that wanting long enough it will dissipate).\nGood luck!\nStand and be true

My dad thinks that High School Musical is only about cute boys and is a load of b.s.  I, personally love it.  Do you have any opinions?

I have to admit, that I liked High School Musical. Yes, it was a little cheesy and over the top. You also have to look what it was made for? The Disney Channel, which is youth centered. So you would expect it to be a little teeny bopish!!!\n\nPlus I love Ashley Tisdale, who is also in "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody".

Just curious. Include rising ( ascendant ) and moon sign if you'd like.

Sagittarius baby!\n\n---\n\nThe Western astrological sign Sagittarius of the tropical zodiac (November 22 - December 21) differs from the astronomical constellation and the Hindu astrological sign of the sidereal zodiac (December 18 - January 18).\n\nIn some cosmologies, Sagittarius is associated with the classical element Fire, and thus called a Fire Sign (with Aries and Leo). It is also one of the four Mutable signs (along with Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces). Its polar opposite is Gemini. Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power, Sagittarius assigned with the hips and thighs. It is the domicile of Jupiter. The symbol for Sagittarius is the centaur or archer.

I need help with this math problem and i have a test tomarrow i need to study!\n\nThe question is:\nOrder from least to greatest\n(theese are fractions)\n7/8\n1/5\n99/100\n6/10\n5/12\n\nI think the anwser is:\n99/100\n5/12\n6/10\n7/8\n1/5\nCan you tell me how to solve the problem and if you can tell me the anwser so i can understand it!\n{Big test tomarrow!}

First, you have not answered the question correctly.  5/12 is less than 6/10, and certainly less than 7/8.\n\nHere is what to do.\nShort way - enter the numbers into a calculator.  That will give you the decimal form.  You can then rank them using the decimals (0.99, 0.41, 0.875, etc.).\nLonger way - Convert each to decimals by dividing them out.  Put the denominator (bottom number) in front of the divider sign, and the numerator (top number) inside the divider sign.  This will give you the decimal, and do as above.\n\nWhat you are looking for - each fraction above is less than the number 1.  How much less?\n99/100 is almost 1.\n5/12 is less than half (half woudl be 6/12).\n7/8 is almost 1, also, but less than 99/100.\n1/5 is very low.\nSee how I am doing this?  It is all how big the top number is COMPARED TO the bottom number.\nIf I have 999/10000000000, that is a very low number.  However, 999/1000 is very high (though all less than 1).  Make sense?\n\nSo the order should be:\n\n99/100\n7/8\n6/10\n5/12\n1/5\n\nGood luck!

A (drunken) cockroach is placed on a given square in the middle of a tile floor in a rectangular room of size n x m tiles. The bug wanders (possibly in search of an aspirin) randomly from tile to tile throughout the room. Assuming that he may move from his present tile to any of the eight tiles surrounding him (unless he is against a wall) with equal probability, how long will it take him to touch every tile on the floor at least once? \nHard as this problem may be to solve by pure probability theory techniques, the answer is quite easy to solve using the computer. The technique for doing so is called "simulation" and is of wide-scale use in industry to predict traffic-flow, inventory control and so forth. The problem may be simulated using the following method: \nAn array KUNT dimensioned N X M is used to represent the number of times our cockroach has reached each tile on the floor. All the cells of this array are initialized to zero. The position of the bug on the floor is represented by the coordinates (IBUG,JBUG) and is initialized by a data card. The 8 possible moves of the bug are represented by the tiles located at (IBUG + IMVE(K), JBUG + JMVE(K)) where 1  K  8 and: \nIMVE(1) = -1 JMVE(1) = 1IMVE(2) = 0 JMVE(2) = 1IMVE(3) = 1 JMVE(3) = 1IMVE(4) = 1 JMVE(4) = 0IMVE(5) = 1 JMVE(5) = -1IMVE(6) = 0 JMVE(6) = -1IMVE(7) = -1 JMVE(7) = -1IMVE(8) = -1 JMVE(8) = 0A random walk to one of the 8 given squares is simulated by generating a random value for K lying between 1 and 8. Of course the bug cannot move outside the room, so that coordinates which lead up a wall must be ignored and a new random combination formed. Each time a square is entered, the count for that square is incremented so that a non-zero entry shows the number of times the bug has landed on that square so far. When every square has been entered at least once, the experiment is complete. \nWrite a program to perform the specified simulation experiment. Your program MUST: \n1) Handle values of N and M \n2 < N  40 \n2  M  20 \n2) Perform the experiment for \na) N = 15, M = 15 starting point: (20,10) \nb) N = 39, M = 19 starting point: (1,1) \n3) Have an iteration limit, that is, a maximum number of squares the bug may enter during the experiment. This assures that your program does not get "hung" in an "infinite" loop. A maximum of 50,000 is appropriate for this lab. \n4) For each experiment print: a) the total number of legal moves which the cockroach makes; b) the final KUNT array. This will show the "density" of the walk, that is the number of times each tile on the floor was touched during the experiment

Ok I am developing it . Hope that you will get a reply soon.


I'm wondering if it is worth the additional money?  Will I notice a difference?

It depends on what you are using them for, how old you are, etc. I find that the anti-glare is nice. I sometimes have a hard time watching TV with my glasses if the lights are on if I don't get anti-glare. But it just depends if it is something you need. You should talk to your eye doctor and they will tell you why it is a good idea to get it and if you need it. \n\nScratch resistant lenses are nice in different situations as well. Are you known to drop your glasses alot, do you take them on and off alot (i.e you don't have to wear them all the time) Is it going to be your main pair of glasses, or will you wear another pair most of the time or contacts? Are you in sports and other physical activities that could cause you to scratch the glass? If any of this is true, you should definately consider getting no-scratch. If you scratch the lense right it could really be annoying to look out and really start to bug you. You may find that it is so annoying that you need to have them replaced or repaired. It is always nice to have the extra protection against unexpected accidents.\n\nHope this helps


I would like to learn of differences and similarities. Online sources of information will be very welcome.

I have been to Budapest, and outlying areas of Hungary. Because Budapest is such a metropolitan area, it is similar to any other large city. They do not observe many of the traditions of costumes, farming, and living off the land so to speak. In the outlying areas, it is very charming. They dress in traditional costumes, observe Sunday, kill the pig in the backyard for a feast, make their own libations, etc. You will find this in particular with the elderly. I believe many of their traditions could weaken, because the youth are looking to the big cities for their code of conduct.


I just listened to a town meeting on radio, they said "the Government does not have the legal power to order you out of your home I.E., a mandatory evacuation in a Hurricain" I clearly read on the "miserable failure" site that FEMA has the power to take all assets and enter your home. They also can arrest you on the spot, No charge, no lawyer. Where is the truth?

Well it's kinda obvious that they THINK they have the power, however... people will die for what they think is right. We have free will, and although I think I would leave my home if there was imminent danger I do NOT believe that it is right to force someone from there home, if they choose NOT to leave....By the way Jack.... Have you been getting my comments on your blog?


My husband crushed his L 2 IN BACK AND WE ARE JUST SEEKIN INFORMATION

Since no one else has answered you, and I have had a similar injury, I thought I'd offer you my experience. I am not a medical expert, just a survivor. My injury was L3 L4, and the disc blew up! In other worded it was not your standard slipped disk. They could not do the laser surgery on me, partly because it was not yet approved but mostly because of the number of disk fragment sthat they had to remove. Prior to the surgery I spent 8 weeks flat on my back while they figured out what was wrong with me, i.e. orthopedics, medical and finally surgical. I had lost all use of my right leg, including the feeling from the hip down, and was starting to loose bowel function. They did the full laminectomy, and sent me home from the hospital the next day. I asked for PT or some kind of rehab but they refused. For the next five years I had to fight on my own to regain use and control of that right leg. For ten years I had a noticable limp. To this day there are certain movements I just cannot do. And the hip is still bad with rampant arthritis. Three years ago I had a relapse, and after the same surgeon did the x-rays and MRI's he said he could not do anything to help me, and that I no have spinal stenosis from L2 down. You should see how little bone mass there is in that picture. It's scary! Anyway, I went to my local gym who has a healthy back program, using Medx equipment. I rehabbed with that program, and am as functional now as I was 5 years after the surgery. If you have a program like that I would seriously check it out before agreeing to surgery. The program at my gym has prevented a lot of surgeries, and has an 85% success rate. They train surrounding muscle to support the bones, and carry the weight. We once trained a dog the same way who was born with hip dysplasia bad enough they wanted to put him to sleep in his first year. He lived to 17, and passed away as a result of an auto injury, not his hips.\nSorry this was so long but your husband needs to know there are options to surgery, and not just PT. Good luck and feel better. I do understand your pain and confusion.


my friends and i act like we're together as more than friends sometimes. one time my friend had to sit on my lap and i said "we got to sit in the back more often."and i said j/k. i said it like i was joking around and i was wondering if a friend said that to you would think something like, "what the hell?" or what would you think?


I'd like to know as much as possible about how to start this type of business and how to do it with $0.00 or very little out of pocket start up money. Thanks.

This is a business that you cannot do with very little dollars or zero-cost. A gym - especially for kids - would need all the safety devices and equipments. You need to invest in materials and equipment designed to help protect young ones and make sure that they are not hurt. Even the barebones fitness programs offered to toddlers by county recreation areas have padded mats and other safety devices. Gymboree, on the other hand, has foam slides, boats, and other fun stuff for the kids. The last thing you want is a lawsuit from angry parents whose kids were hurt in your gym class. \n\nI suggest you first research your market and find out what they offer. The web has made it very easy to check on your competitors. Entrepreneur.com has a list of franchises offering fitness programs for kids http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/cats/1,6587,12-12-0-CHILDFIT,00.html . While franchising may not be one of the options you are thinking, the site has a listing of your competitors - check what activities they offer, go to their websites and see how they are offering gym activities, etc.\n\nThen develop your own plan based on three things: what is not currently offered in the market that you think you can do; and what is currently offered but you can do better; and what can you realistically do based on your resources (the more limited your resources, the more limited your initial plan).\n\nYour startup costs will include the venue, equipment, and possibly personnel to help assist you in running your programs. If you will do the business from home, be careful not to run afoul of zoning laws (read: your neighbors should not complain). Customers will be coming and going into your house so you need to think where the cars of your 20 or 50 students will park at the same time!\n\nThe more you know about what you are getting into, the more informed your decisions will be and you will have a greater chance at success.\n\nGood luck\nIsabel Isidro\nFor information on starting a business, visit http://www.powerhomebiz.com


if anyone knows then plzz gimme the details abt it!!

I think you are talking about famous Kremlin diet, which is basically a low-carbohydrate diet. The system is similar to the wait watchers. You count points. You won't be allowed to eat potatoes, rice,pastry, ANY sugar!!! You can use 40 points a day. For e.g. 1 tomato is 4 points, apple- 9.5, banana -21 and a serving of rice is 71.At the same time you can eat plenty of meat, fish and chicken, they are 0 points.


I'm sorry, but this isn't your choice.  It is their house and their rules.  You can ask them but you need to respect their decision.  If you don't like their answer then you and your boyfriend need to get a place of your own.
