Ok, well my boyfriend of a 1 1/2 & I were the High School couple that everyone loved. He broke up with me on horrible terms and he tried to be friends with me right away but I pushed him away beacause I was so hurt. I feel better about it now but we don't talk and school is really akward. I want to e-mail him saying that it's ok I'm not angry with him but I'm not sure if I should or not. I don't want to seem like I am desperate and submitting but I think this immaturity has lasted long enough & I should say something at least to make some sort of peace. I still really care about him but all I want is just to be his friend. I don't know what to do, I know it's High School and we are only 17, but I'm stuck and I don't know what's the right thing to do.

Don't stress about it.  Really, you're young and it's not the end of the world.  Take a look inside and see if you really do want to be friends with him or if there's reason enough to let him go.  (you may just be feeling guilty about not wanting to let go.) Picture meeting him as a stranger and getting to know him.  Is he a guy you'd want to hang with?  Yes or no, it's cool either way.  Take care.


And what feat did this player accomplish that no other player in history has managed to do.

Hey sweetheart. That player was Don Newcombe, SP Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers\nHe was the only player that won the Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Cy Young awards.


I come from Taiwan and live in Stanmore. I am looking for a university student as the English tutor for my 14 years old son and help him to prepare the home work.

Try out Craigslist.com from under one of the links of cities near you.  Put out a free ad for an English tutor and ask your own price.  If you just want a college student, or recent college grad, you should probably charge $10-15 and hour.  Good luck.


I need to know if anyone knows any good culinary schools near batesville, AR

Try "Cooking Secrets" in Batesville AR 870-251-9997


The colors I picked out are Mocha, tangerine, buttercup, palamino, and Kiwi.  What colors should I use in the flowers?  And what color flowergirl dress?

I do not know what color palomino is. Is it a brownish color? If it were a "rainbow" theme-you should include a red or pink and blue tone as well. Or are you specifically trying for the fall color palette? Flowers can always be painted. Do you have a favorite flower? Without knowing what type of flowers you like it is difficult to tell you which scheme to choose. Do you want the flowers to stand out or blend? I like the idea of kiwi colored flowers-just because it is unusual. Everyone else uses typical colors.  The flower girls should stand out a little bit more. The tangerine with white lace on the dresses would be a good idea. You could use some of the flowers in their hair.


I would also like to know  Istitutions  that have financial aid to forigners

In July 1997, the University of Andorra was established. The small number of students makes it impossible for the University of Andorra to develop a full academic program, and it serves principally as a center for virtual studies, connected to Spanish and French universities. The only two graduate schools in Andorra are the Nursing School and the School of Computer Science.


i want to know what does FRTC stands for? any ideas? My character is to censor nudity where i work. girls show off too much flesh!!!!! i want to promote my character in Total None Stop Wrestling in Austraila. thanks.

Free Right To Censorship.. Im sure its some shit like that. They did that angle in wwe a while back so its not like its anything new to wrestling.


Sorry, I know I asked this question earlier. The answer I was given stated: \nA\nll the Prophets including Adam, Moses, Abraham, Ismael, David, Solomon, Jesus and Muhammed (including all others) were the followers of Deen-e-Haneef, there are other names for it.\n\nSome people call it, Deen-e-Ibrahimi (Ideology/Religion of Ibrahim/Abraham)\n\nDoes this religion have distinct practises?

Before the advent of Islam, there was a small group of people, who called themselves the followers of "Deen-e-Haneef", which was basically a monotheistic creed, ascribing to the belief of "one God" and adhering to the monotheistic practices of the Abrahamic tradition (these practices included: Sala'h (prayer), Sawm (fasting), Hajj (pilgrimage), Tawaaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah), Ai`tikaaf (confinement to the mosque for concentrated worship) etc.). The Prophet (pbuh), it is generally believed, ascribed to this group. However, there is hardly any authentic information available on this topic in the books of history. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that the Qur'an has clearly stated that before the initiation of revelation, the Prophet (pbuh) was not fully aware of the details of faith and belief and neither of the divine laws (Al-Shooraa 42: 52).\n\n\nEDIT: At least i gave my source..! I didn't want to summarize all that, sorry.


but i really like him but she was friends with him from the beginnning of the year and she kinda sorta likes him???????????

Well, is this guy worth loosing your best friend...never date someone that your friend has!


when i get to that point. i'm only fourteen.\nso where do i start off?\n\nbtw i live in la.\nwould that make it better?

Continue to go to high school and make the BEST GRADES POSSIBLE! The better your grades, the better chance you have at free college money. Go to a four year university, talk to your counselors when the time comes. Tell them the career you want and they will set you up with courses to prepare you for law school. It's called pre-law. After you graduate from your first 4 years (which are your undergraduate years) you apply and go to law school...this is a graduate school. After you graduate you take the bar exam for your state and start at the bottom of the totem pole at a law firm. Right now you should start thinking about what KIND of attorney you want to be. Prosecutor, defense attorney, estate/will law, corporate law...and the list goes on and on. You could follow your dream anywhere from an innercity non profit organization (meaning you dont make much but it is working for a cause) to international business mergers which would require an insane amount of work but great money. This is what you need to think about right now. "I want to be an attorney" is a lot like saying "I want to go to college" there are soooo many options.\n\nYou also need to start thinking about how you're going to pay for college. Talk to your parents. If you get a job when you're 16 rememer that there will come a time in the not so distant future when you have to be an adult and maybe pay your own way. \n\nAlso talk to some local attorneys see if you can intern there during the summers. You will only be filing and maybe answering the phones...making coffee that sort of thing but it will give you a better  idea the law and what direction you want to go.


I need to know the basics about Saint-Raphaël for a french project.


I heard a story that a woman went to Taco Bell and there was a roach egg in her sandwich. she didn't realize it of course and so she ate it. then maybe a week later she had a real bad pain in her mouth and she couldn't figure why so she went to the dentist and they had figured that there was an agitated nerve or whatever in her mouth so the doctor cut the inside of her mouth open and there were thousands of baby roaches in the pouch of her mouth!!!!! so of course after they were removed the woman was gonna sue Taco Bell. but I don't know anything about science or nothin so I ont kno if this is true. If anyone knows or has ever heard of this story pls help me and verify whether this is true or even possible. I mean could there really be a roach egg embedded in someones gums like that? EEEwwww!!!  that is so nasty!!! Pls answer!!1

That story has been told before,only it was against another fast food place,any fast food can be the dirtiest or cleanest in the world,it has nothing to do with the company or brand itself,it's up to the individual to check out if the place you like is a good place to eat,I've worked in expensive restaurants that are less cleaner than their cheaper counterparts


Croissants are produced in the desert by workers with a (free) solar oven. Debbie owns a shop where croissants are produced according to Equation 2:\n\n(Equation 2) minutes of labor= [C x C] x 3.5.\n\nHow do I Calculate and graph the total labor needed to produce up to 20 croissants?

I think all you have to do is plug in a few values for C to get a graph.  For example, try 0, 5, 10, 15, 20.  It's continuous so you can connect the dots.\n\n(0,0), (5,87.5), (10,350), (15,787.5), (20,1400)\n\nTotal labor for 20 is 1400.


I am a 35 year old man. I have this problem of getting extremely nervous in the beginning of any meetings at work. Especially during introductions, when my turn comes, my legs get tense, my hands start shaking, I can feel my heartbeats very loudly. Thus, I create a very bad first impression. I tend to relax in next few minutes and then I can be very assertive, thoughtful, and lucid. But I just cannot get over the nervousness during the initial introductions.\n\nDo I have a serious problem? What should I do? I am having this problem for last 15 years.

What is it that causes these nerves? You know you can do it, you know that after a few mins in front of them you will be fine, in fact it sounds like you are quite brilliant. Try not talking about your topic in the first few mins, chat to somewone in the front row about their weekend and use that time to set yourself up. ppl will give you a couple of mins to set up and showing an interest in a person will add cudos to your presence. You will know you are out front, ppl will be looking at you but your nerves will only be visible if at all to the person you are talking to.  Or have a piece of info that is relevant to the group and read it out. take refuge in the words.  It may be a little boring to have a presenter read however if you can then use that info in the presentation they will forget how it was delivered and focus on what you are now doing.


I was watching All My Children on Friday and Doctor Joe Martin said something about Josh being his Grandson, and it was Erika Kane's son.  Also, who is Jeff?  I was confused, I didn't think I had been away from it that long.  HELP!?!

ok, jeff is jeff martin Dr Joe's son,Tad's brother. AS for Josh His dad,greg Madden,m.d. took Erika's embroyo when she thought she was getting an abortion. She was married to jeff Martin at the time,so Josh is the "son" of erika and Jeff.


Should the superidendent be involved with these issues and if so shouldn't they be responsible for getting in contact with the parent if it's that serious?  They do have a right to an education and let the parent know what's going on.  I've contacted the schools guidence office, special education teacher and princible since Monday and again today with no return calls.

yes, write a letter to the district's office in complaint with the child's rights. you may not recieve a return letter until a few weeks, but it is worth it. also, you can request an aide to help your child throughout the day but it takes a lot of persuasion.


He won "The Money In The Bank" match at Wrestlemania. He gave a big hing of "EXTREME" during his promo on RAW. Which leads this question.

The answer is YES. As the WWE's biggest star who is also an ECW alumnus, the plan is to have RVD use it at ECW One Night Stand this year. This will give the WWE the chance to sell more PPV buys, since the ECW "reunion" show was last year. They need something else to get people to watch this year, and RVD's title shot is a big BIG deal for ECW fans.


I have applied to Honda's Marysville Auto Plant, but I haven't received any information or confirmation about my application.  Is there a telephone number to call?  Is there an inside track to getting hired at Honda?

Are they hiring?  You could go there everyday and ask them.  Bring your lunch box and sit there all day.  They might hire you because you're always there.  Hang out at the nearby bars and talk to people that work there.  Tip the bartender good and ask him if he knows anyone that works there.  Ask everyone around the plant how can you get hired there.  Try bowling alleys near the plant.  If everything fails, make a sign that says "I want to work for Honda" and stand near the plant in the same spot fot 12 hours a day, every day.  I don't think you'll be there more than a week before you get a job or find out why you can't.  Even if you find out you can't get a job there, if you stay there you'll probably get a job there anyway.


If they dont, then why not? If they do, can you show bible versus to back it up? Whats the difference from an animal and human? They are both living beings, so why wouldnt animals be able to go to heaven?

The Bible does not give any specific teaching on whether pets / animals have “souls” or whether pets / animals will be in heaven. However, we can take some general Scriptural principles and shed some light on the subject. The Bible states that both man (Genesis 2:7) and animals (Genesis 1:30; 6:17; 7:15,22) have the breath of life. The primary difference between human beings and animals is that man is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Animals are not made in the image and likeness of God. Being made in the image and likeness of God means that human being are like God, capable of spirituality, with mind, emotion, and will - and - have an aspect of being that continues after death. If pets / animals do have a “soul” or immaterial aspect, it must therefore be of a different and lesser "quality." This difference probably means that pet / animal “souls” do not carry on after death.\n\nAnother factor to consider in this question is that God did create animals as a part of His creative process in Genesis. God created the animals and said they were good (Genesis 1:25). Therefore, there is no reason why there could not be animals on the new earth (Revelation 21:1). There will most definitely be animals during the millennial kingdom (Isaiah 11:6; 65:25). It is impossible to say definitively whether some of these animals might be pets we had while here on earth. We do know that God is just and that when we get to Heaven we will find ourselves in complete agreement with His decision on this issue, whatever it may be.


Music was written by Rolf Lovland, and lyrics by Brendan Graham.

"You Raise Me Up" is a popular song in the inspirational mold, written by Brendan Graham (lyrics) and Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland (melody). The song has now been recorded more than 125 times around the world in different languages. Løvland approached Graham to write the lyrics to his melody, after reading songwriter Graham's epic first novel - The Whitest Flower (Harper Collins).\n\nThe song, which is said to be very similar to the traditional Irish folk music song "Danny Boy", was originally just instrumental before Irish novelist and songwriter Brendan Graham put words to it. It was originally recorded by Irish singer Brian Kennedy on the 2001 album Once in a Red Moon and sold well in both Ireland and Norway. The song was also commonly used for 9/11 attack commemorations even though it had not been released in America.\n\nIt was subsequently recorded by Daniel O'Donnell in 2003 and was a hit throughout Ireland and the UK.\n\nLater in 2003, after hearing Brian Kennedy's original version, American Josh Groban recorded the song which proved very popular in the US. His version made it to the top of the Billboard AC Charts and remained there for 6 weeks. Josh Groban also performed it at Superbowl 2004, in a special NASA commemoration for the crew of the space shuttle Columbia disaster. A special surprise performance by Groban, for Oprah Winfrey's 50th birthday, also gave You Raise Me Up, massive international prominence. The Josh Groban recording also was nominated for a 2005 Grammy award.\n\nFive times World Champion figure skater, Michelle Kwan, skated to her ninth consecutive American National Championship Title in 2005, using You Raise Me Up as her short programme piece.\n\nAustralian Idol Top 12 contestant Daniel Belle sang it as a song for the song selection "Pop" in Australian Idol 2004 and it has become one of the most performed songs on similar Pop Idol and X Factor shows across the world.\n\nIn 2004 alone, the song has been played more than 500,000 times on American radio. In late 2005, there were over 80 scores available in USA alone, and it has become nominated for Gospel Music Awards four times, including "Song of the year".This version by Christian group Selah (with both verses included, as originally written) also went to No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Charts.\n\nThe song returned to glory back in Ireland when Irish boyband Westlife became the 100th artist to record the song. Westlife, brought the song around the world and brought it to number 1 in the United Kingdom and the band's and song's home of Ireland. Westlife won "Record of the year 2005" in the UK, and are tipped to do well at the Meteors in Ireland, it's their 15th Irish #1.\n\nBrian Kennedy has re-released the single after performing it at legendary Irish soccer player George Best's funeral, the song again climbing the UK Charts to No. 4 in January 2006 (named "George Best - A Tribute"). Brian has returned to the spotlight in Ireland once again after being named Ireland's 2006 entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest.\n\nThe song was also released by Ronan Tynan, Sissel, Russell Watson, Celtic Woman, Tommy Fleming, Michael Ball, and the Celtic Tenors with Samantha Mumba, this time with an RnB flow to it. The most recent recording is by Il Divo - a Spanish version - "Por Ti Sere".\n\nRTE (Ireland's National TV) screened a Roy Esmonde produced documentary titled You Raise Me Up on New Year's Day 2006. First screened a year earlier, this updated edition included the most recent successes for the song, as well as the story of how the song first came to be written by Løvland and Graham.

Would you like an opinion on why someone DOESN'T like Green Day?\n\nTheir lyrics have absolutely no meaning for me, but maybe that's because I'm not a very political person.  However, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", "Good Riddance"-- political?  Iuno..\nFor me what makes a band interesting is either some good guitar riffs or a nice solo, powerful vocals, or an impressive drummer.  GreenDay doesn't provide any of that for me, and they're too.. pop.  The same riffs are used in like every other song they've written or they're like cheesy kindergartener tunes and chords.  Sometimes when I listen to one song, I feel like I've heard the same melody in one of their other songs.  Their guitar solos are pathetic.  In fact, they're not even guitar solos, they're just "interludes".  The drummer doesn't impress me that much either.  I'd pick Blink182 in a second over GreenDay because of Travis Barker's impressivenessss.  I'm pretty picky about the vocals I have to listen to.  Billie Joe doesn't have an annoying voice as opposed to some emo bands, but it just doesn't do it for me.\n\nHowever, even if I don't find their music all that worth listening to, I still think they're quite respectable in the fact that they've influenced and inspired so many people.

will milan catch up to the Juve dream with only 3 fixtures left in the season

It is certainly possible. It has happened before for MIlan and for Juve too. But u know anything is possible in football. Juve is having a rough patch at the moment, i feel their forwards are a little of form. Milan are tired and a little lost because of the champions league. Can they hope of getting past Barca? that is the question. Juve has pretty straight forward matches. Possibly, Reginna and Palermo could be tricky. They could probably force a draw. and if Milan keep winning i dont see why Milan cant win the scudetto this season.(Of course im discounting the fact of any injury problems for Milan).. Forza Milan

Something builds up in your blood. NO, IT IS NOT BILIRUBIN

Actually it is bilirubin that leads to the yellow/green discoloration in the skin and eyes. \n\nBilirubin is a breakdown product of blood and is metabolized through the liver. When the liver is not functioning well, as in the case of hepatitis, the bilirubin accumulates. Bilirubin is a pigment which then causes the discoloration called jaundice when in manifests in the skin and icterus when you see it in the eyes.\n\nDepending on the severity of the hepatitis and the etiology of the hepatitis your skin may or may not be jaundiced. If the metabolic mechanisms of the liver become overwhelmed or is not functioning adequately then the bilirubin will accumulate. After reaching certain levels, bilirubin will make the skin appear yellow.\n\nThis is also the same stuff that you may see in your vomit - it will be the greenish bitter stuff (assuming it wasn't bitter green jello you just ate or something).


I know that sponges are nonmoving, they don't have tentacles but how else do they differ?

Sponges are Porifera; hydra are Cniderians.\n\nPorifera have body pores (ostia), canals and chambers that serve for passage of water. They also have choanocytes (collar cells) specialized cells that create water currents, as they are filter feeders.  \n\nCnidarians have stinging cells organelles called nematocytes or cnidocytes. They also have a nerve net with symmettrical and asymmetrical synapses.  They have a muscular system.

Proton mass and electron mass= constant mass& energy?

Your second statement is correct, i.e proton mass+electron mass = constant mass and energy.\nok, This is with reference with another question you asked about mass defect(and chose my answer as the best, thanks). The sum of individual masses is greater than the actual mass of the atom. I am sure of this because this is what explains the stability of an atom(less energy, more stable).\nI'll give you an example which I took from my chem book\n\nMe = 0.0005486 amu(atomic mass unit)\nMp = 1.007277 amu\nMn = 1.008665 amu\nMe,Mp,Mn are masses of electron, proton and neutron respectively and 1 amu = 1.6605 x 10^-27 Kg\n\nOne He atom contains two electrons, two protons and two neutrons.\nSumming up the values of the constituents you get 4.032981amu as the expected mass of the atom.\nHowever the actual mass of the atom is 4.002603amu\nDifference = 0.030378 amu\n\nThe formula to find the binding evergy(energy required to bring the constituents together) is: mass defect x 931.48MeV\n\nHere that would be 0.030378 x 931.48 = 28.296 MeV\ni.e that is the equivalent of the mass defect in energy.\nThe '931.48' part is calculated using Einstein's formula E=mc^2.

do you have a local youth club in your area? or a community centre?. The workers at these centres should be able to give you sound advice and support in following this through, they should direct you to the nearest housing association which supports young people in times of need like yourself. I hope you take my advice and go to one of these places they are more than capeable of supporting young people and wil understand what you are going through.\nHope you sort this out quickly and safely, all the best...


There was a policy that stated if you stay out more than 20 days you could loose your job.

I thought it was just to do with the mass of an object. Answers to my moon question said that if the moon wasn't spinning it would have no gravity. What about magnetic fields? Are they to do with things spinning?

i dont' know what causes the rotation of an orbiting planet, but the moon would definitely have gravity even if it didn't spin.  that dude was full of crap.  if anything, the spin would cause things to fly off.


No, I think they live in perpetuated poverty because of cultural attitudes toward "acting white." Because of an aversion to "acting white," they alienate themselves from the rest of society. Also, "acting white" means dressing nicely, studying, wearing glasses, listening to any music that isn't R&B or hip-hop, being passive when challenged or submissive to authority, etc. These things are things that can help people get ahead, and they are rejected in African-American cultures. Also, blacks don't really have a lot of highly educated "heroes" that they can look up to--most of their icons are people who have a special talent, like Kobe or Oprah or 50. The average person of any color does not necessarily have a marketable talent and relies on education to get ahead, but the majority of black role models got lucky without much of an education. But I still have hope. I think that education among blacks is rising, and I hope that these well-educated blacks (like Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Obama Barrack) will form positive role models and encourage the young generation of blacks to pursue higher learning so that they can be successful. \n\nNo, they are not plain stupid, but sometimes logic does not come naturally but requires schooling. Without an education, someone may not be able to reason very well, giving the appearance of stupidity when their brain would actually be quite capable if it were taught.

im tired of working at my job (warehouse) I have a degree in Criminal Justice. Any advice will be helpful

Find what you like to do, then research where they will let you do it.  You can find any job in the govt.  Local and State is easier to get into then Federal.  Use them as stepping stones.  Try something for 3 years then decide if you can see yourself staying until retirement.  If not, find a different job.  Retirement usually transfers from one state job to the other.

Where did Mozart live? What was his wifes name, and the name of the Emporor at the time? How many instruments did he play and what were they? Which of his operas were considered bad because they had "too many notes"?

1.  Mozart lived in a lot of cities, but Vienna is where he did his best work.  I also believe this was the setting for the movie.\n\n2.  Constantine (Stanzie) is what he called his wife in the movie.\n\n3.  Don't remember.\n\n4.  He played lots of instruments, in the movie he played piano and harpsichord.\n\n5.  Too many notes...hmmm....don't remember.\n\nGreat movie- even greater composer.

I cannot understand your question clearly.\n\nI assume that you have to show an alert before 20 days of a fixed date.\n\nLet fixed date be 1/6/06\n\ndim i as integer\ni=date\n\nNow i will contain the current date of the system.\n\nYou can compare it with the fixed date and show the message box.\n\nHope this is useful.\n\nDo contact me in person on doubts in VB6 and VB.NET through mail.


why did you pick your name and icon\n\nmine is a cartoon mocking darwin which i picked because what it is is making fun of people who dont understand evolution and so they made up those stupid cartoons revealing their ignorance, you?

My icon rocks. First, its says that Islamic threats have not intimidated, I hold free speech highest in the pecking order of civil rights.\n\nNext, Ive receieved more death threats as a result of my Icon which must be a good thing coming from religious wacko freaks.\n\nAlso, I show respect for the brave Danish cartoonist who knowingly, IN ADVANCE, risked his life for free speech and will be looking over his should for life.\n\nFinally, Islamic insanity is the eptiome of religious insanity and thus to mock Islam, with all its intimidation, is to put me on the top of the agnostic/atheist pecking order by a long shot.


will I have any problems with viruses afterwards? Where can I safely download it?

Well it can be nice to use but if i was you i would just download eMule or lime wire\n\nI use eMule for full albums and sometimes video and single mp3s and if im in a hurry i use limewire for a quick mp3 \n\nBut i love using eMule they have the best quality in music and mp3s you just got to be a patient one :-)\n\nAnd for keeping you safe use peerguardian to keep people from looking or spying on you


Problem Solving class midterms and I hate sports but need stats for a project, please help:\nFor each athlete I need the following information:\nTotal Percent Games Won\nTotal Money Won\nSalary\nTotal Awards\nRanking\nThe athletes are:\nTennis - Anna Kournikova\nGolf - Tiger Woods\nSkating - Nancy Kerrigan\nBoxing - Muhammid Ali\n\nThank You for any and all help

Hey your cheating!!!!! You can find this info on yahoo, google, etc just by typing in their names or the specific information you are looking for. Or go to Barns n Knoble, they got books on all these people. Better yet go to your local library. I took stats before and it SUCKS ROYALY, but you'll make it homie. I do know Tiger is worth 300 million. It might have changed because that was about 2 months ago. Good luck......


Ones people can get involved with.  Thanks!

That totally depends on what kind of organization you're looking for.  DC has a huge and thriving gay community.  We have a youth pride event, a black pride event, a general capitol pride event, an interfaith pride event.  We have twenty-something groups, bars, restaurants, sex clubs, community service organizations, movie clubs, square dancers, drag queens, radical faeries.  You name it, we've got it.  I'm providing a list of suggested sources below.  These are the local gay news sources and the places to find out about nearly every gay thing happening in DC.

I was just wondering where it says that in the Bible

It doesn't say that Sunday is the true day of worship.  Sunday became the day of worship, as opposed to Saturday, after the split between the Synagogues and the Church in the 300's AD.\n\nIt also was used in this fashion to honor the day upon which Christ was resurrected.

stay alive the new movie?????is it good??????????

Yes, I have seen Stay Alive and I was pleasantly surprised. I waited two weeks after it came out and read peoples' responses on Yahoo Answers. Most of the people said it sucked, but my boyfriend wanted to see it so we went. Like I said, I was surprised because everyone said it was bad, but my boyfriend and I really liked it. \n\nI guess it depends on the individual, because a lot of people liked The Hills Have Eyes and I thought it was STUPID!!!!


Ones criminal record answers all the information they need.Furthermore everytime ones credit is checked it cost that person money.Its simply not right!

I don't believe it is fair.  There could be something on your credit report that is there erroneously.  Plus, on top of that, each time a company runs your credit it shows up as an inquiry on your report & that makes it look like you are applying for credit all over the place.  Then when you actually apply for credit, the credit issuing agency sees all the inquiries & that has a bearing on whether you are approved or disapproved for future credit.

When the total minutes of latitude and longitude covered by a map are equal, why is the appearance of the map rectangular rather than square?

On my map the 10 min of latitude and 10 min of longitude are equal. I assume you mean the map and not the grids. I expect maybe people are used to rectangular maps. When I print off a topo map, it is always rectangular because the paper is. May there is a law that all paper must be rectangular.\n\nThere is a cartographic projection called a cylindrical projection in which the image of the earth is projected onto a cylinder that can then be unrolled onto a plane. With this projection the latitudes toward extreme north and  south appear much longer than they are. This is the result of trying to project a spherical surface onto a flat surface. Basically it going to distort.


My mum suffers bi - polar disorder and through this has lost all her children (they have all left home). I sometimes feel down and depressed for not much reason. I have had a tough childhood but this has made me appreciate my life so much more. I find my mum hard to deal with at times and find myself blaming her for a lot of the things that have gone wrong. She does not want to anything with her life which is very upsetting, how can you motivate somebody with this illness?

A child with a parent who has bipolar disorder is at greater risk of developing the disorder. This does not mean that you will become bipolar, only that there is more risk than for a person with no family history of the disorder.\n\nIf you really want to help your mum, get her to a doctor to diagnose and treat her. Your family doctor is a great place to start. You doctor may treat her or may refer her to a psychiatrist.\n\nI recently started treatment for bipolar disorder and now I feel better than I have in all my 46 years.\n\nI am including two links one is the National Institute of Mental Health here in the US (I assume you are in the UK by your use of the word mum). The other is the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, also in the US. They may be able to direct you to support services in the UK.\n\nHope this helps you and your mum!\n\nSincerely,\nTerry Sisson  tls3123283@yahoo.com\nFort Worth, Texas

Hi!\n\nIt's b) 24 7/8\n\nWhat you need to do is to change 1/2 over to 4/8 (that's the same actually, right?) and substract. 27 3/8 - 2 4/8.\n\nDo it step by step, 27 3/8 - 2 = 25 3/8\n                    25 3/8 - 4/8 = 24 7/8

what are the services that are provided by the investment banks?which are the worlds biggest & best investment banks?what does an investment banker exactly do?

Investment bankers are financial professionals who work with high net worth individuals or corporations.  \n\nLarge investment banks include: JP Morgan Chase, CIVC Capital Partners, BancAmerica, KKR, Platinum Equity, and Jordan Industries.  These banks or groups, sometimes known as Private Equity groups, represent a spectrum of investment banking.  There are many other smaller investment banks.\n\nServices provided by investment bankers include: mergers & acquisitions, public offerings, valuations, and many other professional services.  \n\nInvestment bankers in lower positions (analysts, associates) typically work long hours 80+ per week, and focus on financial documents, client presentations, and research of companies.  Middle management bankers (VP's, Directors) focus on client meetings, managing subordinates, and generating new business leads through networking.  High level investment bankers (Managing Directors, Vice Presidents, Presidents), typically lead strategy meetings, meet with investors and bank managers, as well as manage their firms.\n\nIf you are thinking of a career in investment banking do it while you are young and single.  Also, this is a job dominated by men (90%+), not because investment banks do not hire women, but because they usually quit after a year.  It is a very high stress and high energy job that requires much resilience and 'strong skin.'


in cricket, when the players are out of crease and the ball is not dead, they can be made run out, my questions is if both the players are in the middle and at one end the bail is removed and the ball is thrown to the other side and there too the bail is removed so can there be a situation where both the players be made run out at the same time?

no .. becuz ive seen a match where inzi and yousuf both were middle in the crease and both side of bails were off when they were tryin to make the home.. but only one bateman on that time given runout... so at one ball only one players would be out in any type of dismissal


assume for a moment that the world goes to a "one president" system. you run for office, and win. your power is absolute. you're in charge. but you're only allowed one term, and in that term, you can only make 5(five) laws. what would those laws be?

The same as we learn in Kindergarten.\n1. No taking anyone else's stuff.\n2. Keep your own stuff straight.\n3. Treat others as you want to be treated.\n4. Everyone has to chill (nap) at least once a day.\nAnd then one I'd add:\n5. I can make as many laws as I want.


I need friends not bitches that talk shit about what i do are what i say on this line.

I just recently accepted an invitation on Yahoo! 360 from this user who seems to have a new, ridiculous medical issue every week. I've never met this person before but for some strange reason they're giving me weekly updates on their medical condition. Is there a polite way of telling a hypochondriac to stop sending me these very personal messages?

As you don't even know this person, a minimum amount of tact is needed. \n\nTry telling them that you have a busy life and don't always find time for those important to you, so perhaps they'd be better off telling a Dr, and not you." If that doesn't work, delete them from your friends list, and block them from your email.\n\nYou have no relationship with this person, there's no need to go out of your way to be friendly, just be polite and direct.

Effects for the survivors, the families of the murdered, the school itself

Outside of those points...there are other students wanting to copy Columbine. Why must we focus on the bad news after it happens, instead of trying to figure out what causes it to begin with? \n\nI pray that the survivors, family members and community have grown stronger in themselves and together in spirit. I would never want to be in that situation for I know I am not strong enough myself to handle it. I saw people after it happened and how well they held their heads high. I would never be able to do that. Kudos and angels to them.


he is in the navy and im still in school

Ah, yes... I've dated an Army guy and later a Navy guy.\n\nIt's a common situation, but it can work. When they are away, they are surrounded by mostly other guys. If he has a pic of you, he'll probably post it up and brag to the guys.\n\nI am confident it can work, if you have a strong relationship to start with. If you love each other and stay faithful, it can most definately work.


does anyone know anything about this show I believe the dates were during the week of April 17th.  Again the NFL trade show was scheduled to be held in the Raritan Expo Center, in NJ.

Look at my other questions if you don't understand why I am asking this. Just this is a daily fight for me and it is soo hard to do. I am wearing myself out and I don't know how much longer I can keep fighting it. I'm scared!

You keep asking for help. People have answered with great advice. But you take no action to get the help you need. We can do no more for you now. IT IS ALL UP TO YOU NOW! Make a decision to go to the doctor and get some professional help. YOU have to decide to do what is best for you and your situation. Why keep asking if you are not going to take action. I could be helping some else who really wants help instead of spending it on someone who can't reach the correct decision to simply go to a trained professional. Good luck and Goodbye!


it just seems that the supporters for the illegal are more racist then the people who support the bill to kick the illegal out of this country and have them come in through the legal ways

If you bring up skin color your racist. Gringo and names like it are racist. Bring up  "white rich" racist. \n\nAnd Mexico didn't own all of the western boarder, Native Americans lived there as well. Your countrymen literally handed everything over to the spanish when they came. Gold and all. Your politicians sold off your lands, we paid for then, your politicians pocketed the money and enslaved your nation.\n\nEvery country in the entire world including Mexico feel they have the right to say if anyone can come live in their country or not. Reality check. Every country in the world requires immigration papers and require you to ASK before coming. \n\nIn answer to the question? Yes a great many amnesty supporters are throwing up the race card alot. When they see they have no grounds for their arguement thats were they take it to manipulate the conversation away from the facts of the issues.


im at school and i gotta answer like 10 questions this is my first one it would help if you would answer i will return the favor if you have any questions to please and thankyou

I'm not overweight, but I really want to work on getting my butt nice and round and toned. Are there any exersises that help eliminate cellulite? \nThanks!


If they want to become citizens in the U.S. why are they \nproudly displaying Mexican Flags? America is a melting pot we have all the cultures of the world here and we accept that. the problem with these recent marches and protests is that these immigrants are not assimilating into our culture, some refuse to learn english!they chant in spanish. Of course this is not everybody that is protesting but it is disturbing that there are ppl out there like that\n\n Recently in a town east of Phoenix Mexican students had the nerve to take down the American Flag and raise the mexican flag! needless to say it was quickly taken down by other students and they proceeded to burn it. and the students that burned it are the ones who got in trouble!\n\ni look forward to thoughtful and intelligent answers

Because many of them have been working in the USA for decades picking oranges, limes and lemons. They basically keep the landlords in business, however when it comes to apply for citizenship, they are considered to be foreigners.\nThey fly the Mex. flag to identify themselves from other nationalities who claim to be refugees and seem to get priority.

Two women meet up outside the Pearly Gates, and strike up a conversation about how they died.  \n\n"I froze to death," says the first woman.  \n"That's terrible!" says the second. "Did it hurt?"\n"Not really...you just kind of go numb, and drift off.  How did you die?"\n"I fell down a flight od stairs and broke my neck.  See, I had a feeling that my husband was cheating on me.  So one day, I came home early from work, to catch him in the act.  He was alone.  I questioned him for hours, to no avail.  I ran up to the attic, to see if anyone was hiding there, but I slipped at the top of the steps."\n\n10 points for the first correct punchline... :)

And the first woman replied "Well you should have opend the freezer end we both wouldn't be here talking about this"


i'm not a racist or anything i just wanna know what's so funny!

"Polish" jokes are meant to make fun of someone else, usually mean-spirited.  Every generation uses their scapegoat group, either ethnic (Polish, Cuban, French), or socio-group (rednecks, farmers, gays), or religious (Baptists, Jews, Muslims), or any other group. \n\nUsually, if a joke is funny enough, it doesn't need a 'group' to work.  You can almost always drop the "Polish" and just say "A guy walks into a bar..."\n\nSometimes a joke plays on a stereotype and, sadly, works pretty well.  When you come across a joke like this, I urge you to search your mind for alternatives to the stereotype and if you cannot find one, consider retiring the joke-it's probably not that funny.


I own a 1978 Chevy Nova and am looking to replace the stock 305. It has a Posi rear with 373 gears, headers, dual exhaust. I am looking to put a 350 in it for mild street driving. I have narrowed my choices down to a stock brand new crate 350 from GM and add roller rocker arms, or buy a reconditioned 350 from an online performance muscle car shop with many more bells and whistles for a couple hundred more. Any suggestions? And how important is it to buy a 4-bolt main over a 2-bolt main?

The four bolt is stronger. As for re-conditioned vs crate, I'd go with the re-conditioned engine. The crate motor is manufactured on an assembly line and will be a new stock engine and will have some break-in needed before you start to hammer with it, as we know you will. A reconditioned motor from a muscle car shop will be hand assembled by a trained and experienced technician. It will probably be balanced and have all the clearances right. In addition, it may have things like chamfered oil holes on the crank as well as being shot peened to remove any burrs. A reconditioned engine like this will serve as a good foundation for any other mods you wish to do.


no pain\n \npainful\n\nextreamly painful

As a dentist, I have filled many teeth.  I have not had too many people complain about the pain.  Many dentist will use a numbing gel on the tissue prior to giving the injection.  This will help with some sensitivity with the injection.  However, most of the pain from the injection comes from injecting the liquid too quickly.  If the dentist takes his time with the injection there should be very little discomfort.  Once the tooth is numb, you will only be able to feel pressure NOT pain.


Do you guys who get so heated about this have a degree in economics?(I'm sure someone will speak up and so they do to which I will say 'i don't believe you')\n\nIllegal immigration is killing our economy.\n  Actually, to my surprise, because of illegal immigration every american is annually 1 dollar richer. \n\nIllegal immigrants are taking the jobs away from Americans.\n  In reality, without immigration(illegal and legal) the U.S. annual rate of increase would drop from 0.6% to 0.3%(strictly birth rate minus death rate). Thus, without immigration(illegal counts for well over half) there wouldn't be enough people to work and the economy would drop....unless of course we got rid of those crazy child labor laws. \n\nHmmm....maybe some people should chill out. I realize you feel threatened but you're making me think that maybe you should be deported for being so damn ignorant.

I am chilled, thanks.\n\nI for one realize that the Bush administration are using this as a distraction from the real issues that should be in the public focus. Because we have mid-terms coming up in November, the Republicans need two or three bulls*** platforms with which to enrage their 'base'.\n\nI'm glad to say that so far it doesn't seem to be working. This issue was supposed to start a national debate that would last until the elections. Now that we're almost into May it seems to have been largely forgotten.


What the heck are love taps? please help me out! thnx

Love taps are little hits on the arms or something that don't hurt and don't leave marks. They're just playful ways to touch one another in a non-sexual manner. I will smack my boyfriend's knee if we're sitting besides each other at dinner. Not enough to hurt him (I'm not that strong anyways) but just enough to let him know I'm thinking about him. The important thing to remember, though, is that they don't hurt, leave marks, and if you decide you want them to stop, they do.


Basically, my grandma just came from Berlin, and we were out in the park talking. Then, my music teacher just ahppened to pass by with her daughter. Obviously, she came ot greet me, and as far as I remember, I said "hi" back. Afterwards, she stoppedtalking and went away Maybe it was because my grandma is more or less hearing imapried, so she didn't get distracted fomr our conversation. Anyway, my music teacher is an incredibly kind, good person, and she got very upset because she thought that I was completely ignoring her...but I knew that since my grandma didn't exactly notice the stop in conversation,she would have been insulted as well.\n\nAnyway, now the music teachers is upset, and I need to explain the situation to her because I feel guilty.\nAnd I'm starting to think that maybe I did ignore her or something...=(\n\nHow do I approach the subject and what should I say?

Just go up to her one day after class and say something like, "i'm sorry I wasn't so friendly the other day when you were in the park, I was just in my own world talking to my grandma and everything"  Then maybe spend a few minutes chatting with her, just so make it clear that everything's ok

and why does it stink, farts are supposed to bring out the aroma of the food you ate previously

actually people fat to secreet excess gas through the anus (butt)or through the mouth (burping, belching) the reason it smells when peple fart is because the fecal matter in the body ; during its journey through the intestines has been abel to rott and ferment with all the refuse snd stomach acid causing it 2 smell and since it is further away from the stomach, but when u burp your esophagus is closer to the stomach which when burped tastes like previously eaten foo . i hope this answered your question .

i like the tigers. i hope they win more this year.

Amen Sister!\n\nI am happy as a lark in mid-june!\n\nA few years back they started the season 4-0 and ended up 72-90. So I am not saying they are going to win the WORLD Series, but I am enjoying it while it lasts.\n\nJustin Verlander starts today, and he's got a good arm. he's a flame thrower...I'd love to see them 5-0. But I dont want to jinx them by saying they will win.\n\nWe got some young good arms. Bondermen should have a break out year, and hopefully win 15-20 games. kenny rodgers will be a good influence on the young arms (just keep him away from any and all cameramen!!! lol).\n\nShelton usually doesnt hit for power, more for average. So this is just a phase he's going through. If he can hit close to .300 (or better) I'd be happy.\n\nIf Mags can stay healthy all year, along with Guillen we should be ok. Polanco is awesome, he just hits the baseball almost everytime he's up. You can count on him being at or above .300 this year.\n\nIf Pudge has the same kind of year he had in 2004, that would be great.\n\nInge is much better hitter when he doesnt catch.\n\nGranderson has speed, but needs to work onhis outfield play.\n\nMonroe is good.\n\nOf course the trick is too put ALL THINGS together at the same time.\n\nThe baseball season is a marathon (162 games), so it's still way to early to tell. But so far I like what I see.\n\nGiving where The Tigers have been at over the last 14 years. if they win 79-80 games I would be happier than a lark in mid-june!\n\nWe haven't had a winning season (.500 or better) in 12 years. This could be 13. \n\nAnd please dont get me started on the owner, he is more concerned with his other team to even care about The Tigers.\n\noh Wow! Did I just babble? Sorry, but I love MY TIGERS! MY TIGERS! MY TIGERS!\n\nI am happy to see them in 1st place, but I know it won't last.\n\nThanks for letting me babble!


Is it/he red?\n\nDoes he have tail?\n\nDoes he use a trident?

The Scriptures indicate that the Devil was originally a perfect, righteous spirit creature. But he “did not stand fast in the truth.” (John 8:44) Only after he willingly took a course of opposition and resistance to God was he called Satan.\nIn centuries past most professed Christians have had very vivid ideas about who Satan is and what he looks like. He was an evil angel, they said, whom God had put in charge of the lake of fire to torment the wicked and he wore a red union suit and was equipped with horns, a tail and a pitchfork.\n\nWhat is the truth about the Devil? And what does the Bible reveal regarding Satan the Devil? For as Christians we follow the example of Christ Jesus, who always appealed to the Scriptures to settle any controversial point regarding teaching. \nBriefly scriptures tells us that he is an entity, an invisible spirit person; a wicked creature who, in the final analysis, is responsible for all the suffering and wickedness the human race has ever experienced; that he made himself a devil; that God has had good reasons for allowing him to live until now, and that in God’s due time the Devil will be destroyed.\n\nWhere did Satan come from? Surely God did not create him as Satan, for all His work is perfect. (Deut. 32:3, 4) Satan was at one time a perfect angel and served as a guardian of the first human pair in Eden. Concerning him we read: “Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; . . . Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; . . . Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. . . . Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty.”—Ezek. 28:13-18, AS.\n\nAnd what caused him to corrupt his wisdom? His ambition to be like the Most High, Jehovah God, which was betrayed thousands of years later in these words of his: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” (Isa. 14:13, 14, AS) \nBy taking the foregoing scriptures with the well-known account of what took place in Eden, we have the picture of an angel appointed as guardian over the first human pair, who let his appointment go to his head and became ambitious to be like Jehovah God and began by estranging the first human pair from their Maker. He made himself into a deceiving, opposing, devouring Devil.—Gen. 3:1-19.\n\nThus, it is no myth that “Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.”—1 Pet. 5:8, NW.


And if so, does it apply to mental or physical age?  My boss and I have some disagreement with this particular term and I have searched all over the internet to find a true description of this term..and all I find is descriptions referring to small children.  We have clients whose ages average around the mid 40's...but range from 18 to 70.  There are clients that like to play with dolls....become obsesseive and possesive of their dolls.  I would like to tell my boss...take that barbie from that client....and watch what happens...she would beat the crap out of him to get it back...but for a 45 year old woman...a barbie doll would not be considered age appropriate.  So what is the true definition of the words?  When I argue this point with him...how do I make my point that with the developmentally disabled...we need to go more by mental age then physical age or we will only create behavior problems?

LMAO... "age appropriate" is a No Child Left Behind buzzword that means big headaches for people trying to provide activities to developmentally delayed students that are appropriate to the student's needs, and a great deal of frustration, stress, and mental understimulation for the students/clients if organizations comply with it.\n\nIn other words, we're supposed to bore them into growth, rather than stimulating their minds (if something is too difficult or advanced for your current level of skill/interest, it is boring).\n\nWhen I work with a 4th grader with a mental age of 0 to 12 months, I'm not supposed to work on infant and toddler toys, games, and activities with her. According to NCLB, I'm supposed to give her, ahem, simplified 4th grade curriculum. Even though research shows that maintaining stimulation and activities at and a single step above their developmental age is what fosters their interest and growth. \n\nSo, if you are working with developmentally delayed adults between the ages of 18 and 70, and you are supposed to provide them with things that a "normal" 18 to 70 year old would like, rather than what really is at their level of need and growth.  Legally, your boss is right. Ethically, you are right.\n\nAs service professionals, we follow a code of ethics. That code is a committment to the student/client, not to a bunch of idiots in Washington D.C. You have to decide...do you want to deal with screaming mental 5 year olds who can't have their toys (since your boss is adhering to the law) to get your paycheck, or do you want to find a more, ahem, ethical employer?


I find that often times I sneeze after I go out side on a sunny day, I just wondered what the cause was/is?


I am healthy 5'8 145 lb 20 year old. This is my problem my boyfriend has been away for 5 months and i think ive replaced sex with ice cream. I haven't really gained any weight but I eat almost a pint a day. I don't eat it all at once. but throught the day i will make myself a bowl. Any ideas on what i can do? I am also a smoker and trying to smoke instead doesnt help either.

temperance or control... you have the freedon to choose. but instead of ice cream why not try fruits, some fruits are sweet and really have a good taste.


I want to play outside games or something fun for them to do while at the park, I just need some creative help in deciding what to do.  Usually about 10-15 kids show up with their parents each week.

Hiding and finding games (like easter eggs but you could hide and find anything) - then have the older kids hide again for the younger kids.  Finding games, like they go and find a leaf or rock and then bring and show to parent/adult.  Don't know if you can do rubbings.  use paper and crayon if there are any surfaces to make designs.  "Bathtub" games on the swing like trying to swing exactly together or exactly opposite.  Balancing games on teeter totter, get the exact weights in the right places to balance.  count how many times the merry-go-round goes around.  Fly kites.  Bring pets.  THese kids are too young for really structured games.  Involve the parents.  Do run and stop games (someone hollers go and stop) and have the kids run to an adult who is standing on the playground.  These are just some ideas.  Hide-and-seek.


There are so many countries that are spanish speaking why do most think it's only Mexico?

my wife has that problem, everyone calls her mexican. mexican is a nationality not a race. wife's father is apache and her mother is from spain.


If retarded people are now called "mentally challenged," and crippled people are now called "physically challenged," why aren't gay people called "sexually challenged?"  Are not they just as disabled as the rest?

I would love to know why anyone thinks it is a mutation. They will probably find it is a gene or series of genes that determines sexual orientation. Anyone that thinks it is a choice is obviously mentally challenged. No one would choose to be ridiculed, beaten, or even killed just so they can have sex with the same gender. Do you think gay men sit around thinking, "Gee, I'll go pack some fudge just to piss off my preacher?" The medical and psychiatric communities have already figured out that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. It is not a condition, disease, or ailment and therefore cannot be cured, treated, vilified. These so called ex-gay religious groups fooling themselves. A person can choose who or what gender they engage in sex with, but they cannot choose who they are attracted to. These ex-gay converts are simply kissing the churches butt and being led like lemmings to the desired brainwashing outcome. It is no different than when gays have sex with the opposite gender to make mommie or daddie or the preacher man happy, although they are miserable.


guys who love thongs what do u thinkg ladies ??? and guys if u feel the same way answer please !!!

I bet they feel uncomfortable but they look great (on wimmin).


A rocket moves .80c to the right with respect to a stationary observer A.  An observer B moving relative to observer A finds that the rocket is moving with a velocity of .90c to the left.  What is the velocity of observer B relative to observer A?


some babies just don't have enough body fat to maintain their  heat. this might point to a problem with the baby's metabolism, or a problem the mom had during pregnancy.


thank you.  i'm doing a school paper and my dad keeps talking about him.

one he did a very good arm, second he played in new york, won the super bowl, wore a mink coat on sidelands, played in new york, made a huge amount of money and finally played in new york. the new york media kinda makes there hometown heroes immortal in sports world.


okay heres the scoop, I worked with this girl and this boy, well we started hanging out constantly and we got real close, then we started havin threesomes and then i fell in love with the girl involved and she loves me too, but then she found this JP dude, and they left and she came back by herself and wanted juss me, and i let it happen and JP came back, and now we hardly ever speak, and im still in love with her, and still carrying a relationship with the boy involved..now a skeem has went down and they are getting a divorce and he and Angels(the girl) mom have taken her kids away from her and now she cant see them at all and shes all broke up, and Wilton(the boy) is mad because im taking her side and i dont wanna take sides, and i think they should both have their kids, and i think its stupid but i may even have to testify for one of them? what do i do? I can walk away from all of them, I love them all so much, I dont wanna loose any of them...what do i do?please help!!!

Well, all I can do is give you my side of what I seem to be seeing here.\nFirst, why are you falling for her when you should be looking for a HIM?\nSecond, none of the beginning part is really important here.  The real problem is you feel like you are going to end up loosing one or the other as a "friend", right?\nYou are correct to say that they BOTH should have them, it's a 50/50 split, and there isn't anything they say or do that should change that!  The most important thing you can do is remember the children need both a mom and a dad, not just one or the other!\nAfter I got my divorce, I wanted to make sure my kids could spend time with their mother, no matter what!  It was her choice to push them away, not mine!  \nIF you loose one of them as a "friend" then they weren't worth the bother or time anyway!  (They would have run away from you if you ever really needed them, think about it!)\nGood Luck!\nB.I.M.!\nTinkermanLT


China is undergoing an open market economy. The  very basic right of  an individual to practice or belief is the universal right of very human being.

China is still oppressive.  It's a paranoid government.  They don't give two craps about the universal rights of anything.

I think taht the world would be better off without them because people watch them and try all that freaky stuff and i think that's how aids and other STD's started spreading.I mean think about it some stick and lick eachother in a place where waste comes out of your body really ask yourself how smart is that.

I personally do not like porn just for the fact that I think it's gross and unrealistic. Too many people really believe that women should not only look like that, but they think that what is happening on the screen should happen in their bedroom. Unfortunately, too many men think that they got a raw deal when their woman doesn't look or act like those trashy women they see in the movies. Thumbs down!!


This is in a book called Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee, and I'm supposed to define this word, but I don't know what language the word is in, so I can't find out what it means. I also need the definitions for Landliche and Kaffir.

boer vrou means farmers wife in afrikaans,landliche is ly of the land and Kaffir originally means unbeliever in Malay but ,today is a derogitary word for negro and you can go to jail for saying it or be shot.like the American word ni**er.\nin South Africa do not use this word in public or not at all.the people take it very seriously.\n\nCoetzee is an Afrikaans writer( Afrikaners are the dutch emigrants in South Africa.)and they speak a kind of 16th century dutch,although all Afrikaners insist that it is a seperate language.\ni doubt it you would find a Afrikaans dictionary


I am buying a home with an I/O loan for now until I can pay a larger sum toward principle and refi. If for now I pay minimal amts toward principle, what will happen to all the $ I've paid in interest? Will this money just be "wasted", like rent money?

If the loan is an interest only loan you don't have to refinance. If it is a balloon you do have to refinance.  An interest only loan should only be used to purchase either a larger home than the one affordable using a conventional loan (if you plan on keeping it) or a home that you plan on selling it before the I/O term selected expires (very useful in hot markets where properties appreciate a lot in 5-7 yrs). But if the house is not in a hot market and you expect to live it forever then you should go with a conventional loan. As to what happens to the interest paid, you can deduct it from your taxes if your state allows for such a deduction.  Another good use for an I/O loan is when interest rates are high and you plan on refinancing when these come down.


well our teacher said that on monday we are gonna take an iq test. i dont even know what an iq is how am i gonna pass the test?? someone help...i need to know what an iq is and what an iq test is too.\n\n\nthanks.

iq tests are pretty straightforward. there aren't insanely hard math questions or things like that to worry about- they just measure your ability to understand and solve a problem or to see patterns and what-not. they can get kind of complicated, but that's sort of the point- to see if you can figure it out. worry not. IQ is something you are born with, you don't 'learn' it. no amount of studying can do anything to affect you, so just go and take the test.\n\nchill out, kiddo.


Let's say you wanted to use something like Microsoft Word, or maybe Half-Life 2.  Something that's Mac/Win but not Linux.  Can it still be used on it?

Yes my friend Wine is the answer to your problem. Wine creates a virtual windows like environment on ur linux box where you can run most windows apps(I said MOST and not all).\nFirst step towards this is installling WINE on ur linux box, choose the package on the basis of ur distro( eg rpm or source) from the website mentioned above and install the same.\nOnce you have installed the same and wish to install the .exe file say somthing in command line \nwine <your exe file.\nwine will launch and ur app will be installed in the virtual C drive and buddy you will be running your win application on linux.\nI have tried running a couple of windows apps, some of them work but not all.\nI hope I answered ur query well, for any further doubts keep coming back to this place :)


she lives in another country and i can't leave mine at the moment as i am in my 2nd year at university. How can i get her to come live with me. She lives in japan and is the cutest girl i have ever met. i live in england I want to go and live in japan next year for a few years. what shall i do?

You said she is starting university and you are in your second year therefore you will finish before her, so why should she leave Japan to live in England when the opportunity for you to go to Japan will present itself much sooner.  In the meantime, get Skype, phone her a lot email her webcam her etc.\n\nDon't forget that to 'go to Japan for a few years' you need to get yourself a visa.  There are many kinds of visa for example you could\n\nFinish university:apply for JET(Which gets you a visa):move to Japan. \nor\nSave a lot of money, go to Japan and get a tourist visa, stay as long as possible. \nor\nsame as above but look for a job when you arrive and change your visa to working.(very difficult but possible)\n\nGet married (seems a bit soon for that).\n\nGet student visa or cultural visa.\n\nGet to Japan, meet her family (obligitory) and have a nice life. You just have to bide your time.\n\nBy the way, to get a Visa to live in the UK my wife and I spent, in total about £250, and they wanted another £250 to extend it.  My visa to live in Japan was £6 with unlimited free extentions


Islam is the only religion that doesnt teach you to love anyone. All other religions that I know of teach love of others under some circumstance. DONT APOLOGIZE FOR ISLAM UNLESS YOU CAN POST THE EXACT AYA FROM THE QURAN THAT REFUTES WHAT I AM SAYING. THIS IS NOT A SMALL POINT EITHER, BECAUSE THE QURAN DOES INSTRUCT MUSLIMS THAT IT IS "EXCELLENT" TO "HATE" UNBELIEVERS AND TO FIGHT THEM ALL. Quran 60:4, 9:29.

You need aya! ..ok.. then please go through the following verses from the holy Quran and see whether it is teaching  LOVE or HATE?\n\n*Towards Parents:\n\nWe have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."  46: 15\n\nAnd, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood."   17:24\n\nAnd even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.  17: 28\n\n*Towards one’s wife:\n\nAnd among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. 30 :21\n\nAnd give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer. 4: 4\n\nO ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good. 4: 19\n\n*Towards one’s children:\n\nKill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin. 17:31\n\nAllah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases ('s) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah. and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise. 4:11\n\nLost are those who slay their children, from folly, without knowledge, and forbid food which Allah hath provided for them, inventing (lies) against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and heeded no guidance. 6:141\nTowards Needy & wayfarer:\nSo give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance, of Allah, and it is they who will prosper. 30 :38\n\nWhat Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships,- belongs to Allah,- to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (merely) make a circuit between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah. for Allah is strict in Punishment.  59: 7\n\n*Towards Relatives & Orphans:\n\nBut if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.4: 8\n\nThey ask thee what they should spend (In charity). Say: Whatever ye spend that is good, is for parents and kindred and orphans and those


I have lived with a man for about 2 years and been with him for a little more than 3.  We have a baby together and I have a daughter from my first marrige.  I am in no rush to sign the paper again.  I'm just curious as to why he hasn't even brought it up.

Why buy the proverbial cow , when you're getting milk for free? He's getting everything he wants from you without any commitment whatseover. Any time he wants to, he can pack his things and leave. He's free to go and come as he wants to, with whomever he wants to. Do you really think he's gonna mess up a good thing like he has, by getting married?\nHE HAS IT MADE! For your security, and your children's sake, you need to "bring up" the problem. You have no recourse at all, or money, if he ups and leaves. DO IT! Talk to him......ASAP!! For you, and for your children. Good Luck!!


If I accelerate at 10 "Gs" how long would it take to reach say half the speed of light?  Additionally, how exactly does acceleration work?  I need more thrust the faster I go because my mass increases with velocity, so every space vehicle has a maximum speed?  So why are space shuttles, probes etc, not nuclear powered?  Safety reasons?

V = at, so 1.5x10^8 = 98*t => t = 3,061,224 seconds or 850 hours.  Something might be wrong here because things get weird as you near the speed of light, but it seems right.  You have to remember that 10G is very very difficult to keep up for long.  On a typical space ship, you may remember they have 3 helper rockets.  Those probably get around 10G, but they run out within a few minutes and they're very big already.  So, keeping it up for 850 hours would be kind of tough.\n\nAcceleration in space works by "throwing" things, such as the expanding gases of the burning fuel, out the back of the space shuttle.  With conservation of momentum, it propels the spaceship forward.  The problem is that you can only throw so much out the back before you run out.  And in space, there's almost nothing to "pick up" to throw out the back, except for the very rare space particles once in a while.\n\nWith no acceleration, a ship will move at constant velocity, so you do not need more and more to keep up the same speed.  There is a slight bit of drag in space from the particles so that would eventually slow the spaceship down after a very long time.  Some of the futuristic designs for spaceships actually involve thrust that's about as strong as the weight of a piece of paper.  So, the ship will very very slowly gain speed, but it can do so for an indefinite period of time.\n\nWe don't use nuclear power in space because it's too dangerous.  If one of them explodes like Challenger did, it would be a global nightmare.  So, no one does it.  There's also the fear that nuclear weapons might be used as an offensive weapon from space.\n\nEdit: Yes, you're right.  The ship needs more and more thrust as you approach c because the ship is getting heavier.  At very small speeds, you don't, but we're dealing with relativistic speeds.\n\nThe formula is kind of tough to write out.  There's a lot of special relativity on this page: http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/vvc/theory/relativity.html\n\nAt .5c, the time dilation is pretty small.  It's around a factor of 1.15.  See the link here: http://www.fourmilab.ch/cship/timedial.html\n\nI didn't bother to look up the thurst in Newtons and calculate it out, but I really doubt something with that little thrust can get to near the speed of light.  If you look at the link below, you can see rocket power is one of the worst ways for propulsion.\n\nAll of the sci-fi ships are the ones that might get closer with various technologies.\n-Exploding nuclear bombs out the back (very early on, people thought this might work\n-Nuclear would really help (fusion especially)\n-VASMIR\n-Antimatter drives\n\nThere are a ton here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_propulsion


My girls are nuts for reggaeton. I am more of a salsa, merengue, bachata, r&b kind of gal but, I was looking at the cd covers of some of these reggaeton guys and DIABLO they are hotties. My daughter Alejandra is in love with Daddy Yankee and I kow that he is puerto rican , and cuban link is cubano, (as am I ) but my husband is Dominicano 100% and him and I are almost positive that Don Omar is also dominican. So shed some light if you please. Thanx

Don Omar used to be a pastor before he decided to become a reggaeton singer. He was recommened by fellow reggaeton artist Hector "El Father" to pursue singing.\n\nAnd yes, he is from Puerto Rico.\n\nAlso, if you like reggaeton and music in general, check out my site, http://dominipod.net\n\nIf you have any further questions or comments, send me an email to dominipod@yahoo.com


Just wondering how people in China, Japan, Korea would e-mail a letter in their language if they use so many characters??? Are their computer keyboards different?

Japan uses a QWERTY keyboard with Japanese phonetic characters superimposed over the keys on the bottom right corners.\nThere are only 50 phonetic characters, so they fit without difficulty on the keyboard.\n\nHowever, most people type phonetically using the QWERTY setup and just ignore the Japanese setup. When I type in Japanese, I type it out phonetically in English lettering. There is an embedded program that converts that into Japanese characters. The characters are selected (shown as underlined) until I hit either space or enter (or both). Space shows a list of characters that sound like that and I choose the ones I want to use. Enter leaves it as is, or lets me end the selection. I move on to the next word and repeat.


the states of enzyme ... inhibited and the reactive state?

an enzyme is a protein which lowers the free energy needed for it's target molecule or molecules to change their structure. for example - adding a phosphate group to another molecule. there are many ways in which the body regulates the enzymes capacity - some ways are by altering the substrate level - usually more substrate results in higher capacity - note that the change is NOT linear.\nanother way is by regulating the genes coding for these enzymes - inhibiting such a gene will result in lower enzyme levels and thus the overall capacity will be lower. note that in this case, each enzyme will work at it's usual capacity.\nwhat you are asking about is another way of controlling the enzymatic capacity. there are two general ways in which other molecules change the enzymes capacity - it can be competitive inhibition - a molecule which binds to the target site on the enzyme and lowers it's chance of binding to its' target molecule. the other method of inhibition is non-competitive inhibition - in this way a molecule binds to a site other that the target site, causing a conformational change in the enzyme and thus changes the affinity of the enzyme to it's target molecule.\na slightly different mechanism is used only in enzymes which have several sub-units (separate proteins that bind to each other to make one active enzyme). these make up many of the enzymes in our body. the mechanism used here is called allosteric change (note that all other regulation mechanisms are at work in these enzymes as well). allosteric change involves a binding of a molecule to the allosteric site which changes the conformation of the enzyme. this change can activate the enzyme and make it work more effectively, or it can inhibit the enzyme.\nso... an enzyme can be active, and by various mechanisms (involving not only other molecules but also "breaking" of the enzyme into active parts, changes in pH, temperature and more) it can change it's capacity - it can be lowered, inhibited almost completely or increased.


well my boyfriend used to be insecure and jealous alot!!! this was while i was pregnant. Then i cured him and now i am insecure and jealous. im mean i had a baby, shes 7 months old, and i dont have the amount of time that i want for myself but i still manage to make myself feel good. I feel good about myself only if my hair's done and my makeups on and i have a nice outfit on.but i take a long time to do all that just like 2 and half hrs to get my baby and i ready. and my boyfriend works all day. and i stay home all day and i want to get out but he's always tired or somethings going on. but im trying to stop being jealous. what do i do with all of that?

Well he is tired as he is working and now he has other things to deal with,as in the baby and you.\nThis can take a lot out of a guy in the first year or to,as he now is dealing with 3 people and not just looking after him.\nIt's the mental side of things that is weighing him down,so plan something special,a candlelit dinner and a romp in the bedroom,just let him know that you appreciate and love him for what he is doing.\nAs for your jealous thing,it's the reason you are taking so much time in getting ready,you have changed in body and soul and you are not sure if he desires you any more.Wrong!\nJust do this dinner thing on a regular basis and give him your whole you,you both will be fine.


Can someone sell a movie script, that they wrote, to someone like Steven Spielberg for money?

Typically scripts are not bought outright, they are optioned for development, with additional money paid if it goes into production, if you are hired for rewrites, and so on. Directors rarely option scripts, that is usually the role of a producer or production company. You can find lists of production companies to submit your script to by subscribing to imdb.com, the professional version.


Have you find out because of a cell call or a test message that he/she is being cheating?\nMy cousin find out her boyfreind was cheting at because she find out a text message from another girl, when she asked he admitted to be cheating she decide to dump him, now he is beging for her to go back ? Would you go back with a cheater? or have you find out by a cell that he/ she is cheating on you????

He's sorry alright...sorry he got caught. Your cousin can do better than him. And hell no I wouldn't go back with a cheater.


He changes when I come into a room, others can see it, he gets all giggly and happy and then jokes with me a lot.  He also swatted me on the arm with his notebook.  I am shy--does this mean he likes me.  He does this a lot.  He is shy,too

Yes he likes you, stick with him, he should be a good one.  Sounds like he is a bit shy and unsure of himself.  Help him out a bit.

im emotionally unstable and only 14. i really believe that i need counselling but my old fashioned mother thinks its nonsense and im only being silly. what should i do?

I have heard of this problem before. You need to sit her down and explain that maybe counseling would be a success to you. Often in your school there is free counseling and you can also see a professional out of that like a Therapist or Psychologist but your mother may not like that because they cost big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! Good luck and feel free to email me!

I am getting my contact lenses tommorow...which kind do u recommend? (monthly, yearly etc.,) I am 12, turning 13 in 1.5 months...i go out side a lot

I recomend the soft, two week, Acuvue contacts. I'm highly active and those are the best that work for me.\n\nPlease remember (and this is from experience) always take your doctor's advice about contact care. When I was younger I left my contacts in for several days and I got a bad eye infection that almost cost me my eye. Remove and clean your contacts every night and throw them away at the end of their cycle.\n\nAlso, as another tip, I can't put contacts directly in my eye (straight on my pupil)...If you can't either here's how you do it...\n\n1. Prepare the contact for insertion as your doctor tells you. \n2. With the contact on the tip of your finger get ready to place it in your eye. \n3. We'll do the left eye first. Okay, look right as far as you can and with the other hand pull the bottom eyelid down. \n4. Place the contact in the white of your eye (See? Instead of straight in.) \n5. Carefully close your eye and turn your eye back to where you are looking staight (with eye still closed) and push the contact into place. \n6. Repeat for the other side (only opposite). \n\nNow you remove them the same way...By catching by the side instead of straight on. This might take practice but the doc won't let you leave till he sees you can put a pair in by yourself so be paitent.\n\nGood luck!
