My grandfather has Congestive Heart Faliure, what are the mortality rates?  Is this a condition that can be caused by other medacations?  What is the normal stay in the hospital?  One last thing what are the at home needs after the hospital?  Any one that is a Dr. please help me with this I have many other questions that his current Dr is avoiding.  Please I need answers.

The cause is of paramount concern.\n\nIf new, and from acute coronary disease, then there are great treatment options.  Stenting at your grandfather's age would be a solid option, if multiple vessel disease, may require coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg, we say cabbage).\n\nIf from prolonged hypertension... viral disease... prolonged alcohol abuse... others.. then his heart muscle may be unrecoverable, and he's in bad shape.  Medications to reduce symptoms and increase function work, but ultimately limited by the amount of living/functioning tissue, and more complex things like exactly "how" that tissue is working.\n\nIf from dead tissue due to prior heart attack, more radical surgeries are possible... you'd need an absolute expert, look to a university setting if this is the case.\n\nIf no surgical options, and there is a vast amount of tissue dead or useless... his mortality is in the months (could be days, hours, is he in the ICU?, sorry to scare you).  Transplant can do amazing things if an organ is available, he's sick enough to get the organ, but well enought to survive....\n\nIf he's walking, and just has a cough, and swelling in the legs; with weight loss, excercise, lots of medications, he can nearly restore his mortality to normal (depending on co-existing conditions).


A recent article said "Investors how have done the best in the long run were those who focused on preserving capital in bad markets." And, some mutual funds advertise that they are willing to move heavily into cash when the downturn started, helped cushion the blow of the bear market. Question: how can we find out this information daily/weekly? Yahoo finance may be able to tell us the % of cash in the portfolio, but it does not give daily/weekly/monthly update. It only updates at most quarterly, isn't it? It is greatly appreciated if someone can point out a website/resource that shows this kind of information. Thanks.

In general you can't find out that info. I recall one fund manager mentioned that he was going to give frequent updates on portfolio positions. However I don't remember who it was.\n\nSince most fund managers fail to beat the indexes over time, the truth is it does not matter what they are doing. But the index funds for bullish positions, buy the double inverse Rydex or Profunds when in bear mode.


i've been in a relationship for 4 yrs. and we have 2 children.\nwe are spit up now and a part of me doesn't want to get back together. the past year he started drinking about everynight, he says he will quite for good if i take him back. we have fought alot around the kids.he never does anything with them, like read or play. but i do know that he does love them.I feel that he holds me back in life. anyways i've had a crush on this other guy for so time but about 2 weeks ago i said something. i've talked with him and he sees to be alot like me,in a good good way. he wants to take me out some time and i don't know if i should or not. i'm the type of person who wears my heart on the out side and i don't like hurting people, meaning my ex. but i really like this other guy and he loves kids. any single mother knows how hard it is to meet someone you doesn't hold having kids against you. most men want sex and thats all. this new guy is a christain men :)

I think you should take him back. As long as you think he'll be good with the kids, I think you should not deprive them of thier father.

In a certain venturi the diameter of the tube decreases from 1.9 cm to 0.58 cm. Calculate the speed of the liquid in the constriction if it has a speed of 40 cm/s in the larger part of the venturi. The liquid is assumed to be incompressible. Use three significant figures.\n\nThe answer is 4.29 X 10^2\n\nCan someone please show me how to work this problem, what formula to use, how to plug the numbers in.

Incompressible fluid; conserve rate of flow.\n\nSo: Speed x Area is constant, and Area is a function of diameter squared.\n\nNew Speed = 40 x (1.9/0.58)^2 = 429cm/s.

Apparently, it's a done deal. What are your thoughts on Indiana's future, Oklahoma's future (losing a coach and several seniors), and the decision in general?

I am a little curious. Indiana said they were going to take their time and find the right guy for the position. Sampson does have a good track record leading Oklahoma to the final four and 6 20 plus win seasons in a row, but he reminds me a lot of Mike Davis, no connections to Indiana and only really had one great tournament run at Oklahoma. I don't see this taking them anywhere better.

It doesn't really sound like he likes you, but maybe he's just nervous or shy to tell anyone, including you! He will come around sooner or later!!! GoOd LuCk!!!

I was having a chat the other day with a 78 year old man. He suggested The USA Delete The Tax code and start a new system where the Top 35% of the income pay all of the Taxes. That way the poor and anyone below the Top 35% income level would not get taxed and still get Social Security.\nWhat do you think?\nibwolfe

No. I like a national sales tax. You can exclude the necessities (food, clothing, etc.). The wealthier people would then be paying more (higher %) in taxes, while the poorer will pay less. If you don't have the money, you won't be out spending it on luxury items. Also, people that make their money through illegal means (i.e.: drug dealers) don't currently pay taxes on it. This would make sure they do. On top of all this, it gets rid of those complicated forms that nobody can understand except a CPA.


It seems to me that there are a lot of very young kids asking some seriously questionable questions.......how does this make you feel?

i absolutely love them and i KNOW they shoulda won. :(

I was a little mad that they didn't win, but had them losing to UCLA in the next round anyway. What suprised me is the way Alabama came away with a victory. Alabama always finds a way to make it into the Tourney, but always find a way to lose no matter what their seed is. So, nobody should be very scared of them beating UCLA in the next round.


she like u in the way like..\n1. she expect u when u r not there.\n2. she smiles on seeing u when u look smart.\n3. she give her phone and to contact her.\n4. she always want u to share ur feelings when ur mind unconsiousness.\n5. she angry with u when some girl sexy girl talks with u\n6. she asks about to u that how she was like studing, dressing and her character.\n7. she congrats u when win even a small prize.\n8. she talks to u when even her relatives near to her.\n9. she help u in the way of giving money and other needs.\n10. She tells to u that she always happy when ur with her.


ya we met on myspace and he lives by me, now we talk on yahoo messenger and everything he says i love to read, i think im inlove but he has a boyfriend what should i do?

You can't always win. If he has a boyfriend the best you can do is support him. From experience I'm telling you DON'T tell him you think you're in love with him! That will make your relationship uneasy and he won't want to talk to you because he'll be uneasy and wonder what you're thinking. It's always best to hold onto a good thing. Wait it out and see.


I am trying to find some software that I can use without getting a tuner or having cable, to watch TV on my PC when I travel. I'd like to know if anyone is currently using software like Inet-TV, if it works, and just how good it is.

In first group of periodic table the thermal stability \nof hydroxide increases down the group.But since the lattice energy decreses its stability must decrease.

Hi Krish_darwin, here is my answer to your problem ;)-\n\nFirst of all, we have to define what we mean by the thermal stability of a hydroxide, the thermal stability refers to that property of a hydroxide due to which, it resists its breakdown into its oxide and hydrogen i.e.\n\nMOH + Heat --------> M2O + H2\n\nAs we know that, in the 1st gp, as we move up, oxides are more stable because, the polarising power of the cation increases up the group.\n\nSo, that means that, as we move up, hydroxides become less stable and oxides become more stable. (see reaction)\n\nTherefore, we can say that thermal stability increases down the group.\n\nNow, coming to stability, as we know, lattice enthalpy decreases down the group, obviously, the stabilty of the hydroxide decreases down the group. Thus, this reaction can take place more easily down the group-\nMOH --------> M+     +     OH-


the 1st movie was based on the first 3 books. will they or do thye plan on making another movie?

check imdb.com. they have all the goods and news on upcoming movies and they've yet to steer me wrong. PS- after the first movie, the director noted he'd be willing to make a sequel, but i have not heard anything about that, since. g'luck!!! =)


i got a confusion about one girl..she intrested in me, well she is beautifull..and i like her alot..she danced with me and whenever we got party she looked at me very nicely and she was the one who asked my cell number, u know .. guys have to ask girl's number but she did this first. but i dont know that she dont want to come with me alone for a dinner, i also asked her for launch too but she says i will come with my friend (girl). her friend is my friend too she told me that she likes u alot but why she is doing this i dont know..i want to spend some important time with her but i cant. could u people tell why she is doing this?

There's a lot of possibilities.\nMaybe she's just being cautious. Many women have been taught to play it safe. Having a girlfriend around might make her feel more secure in having dinner.\n\nMaybe she's not as interested as she's made you believe.\n\nThere's many more possible situations, but only she really knows why. I'd ask her about it.\n\nBut if you're really serious about her, you might consider going out with her and her friend. It may look good on you if you're willing to do that and earn you "brownie points".\nRelationships are usually complicated and only you can decide what's really best for you.\n\nGood Luck

The difference btw democrats and republicans is unknown for a "middle-man", except names of their leaders and parties' symbols. When people doesn't like the politics of govetrning party, they choose the party in opposition, but they are all the same. Not a bad trick?

I wish it were so simple. Yes, the people certainly are manipulated by the political elite. These elite are powered by funding from various sources. But clearly these sources differ for democrats and republicans.\nCorporate and evangelical are the most prominent backers of republican candidates, which leads to governmental support for these interests.\nDemocrats are supported relatively more by unions, education associations, environmental groups, for example, with consequent impact on their policies.\nThe powerless obviously are left out in the cold, and are not well represented by anyone.\nSo, the similarity between parties is that both are supported monetarily to support policies of special interests, and they do. The difference, however, in these policies is huge.\nJust as an example--the military-industrial complex and energy interests are prominent players in the Bush administration. Guess what corporations have made out like bandits? Halliburton, Exxon, etc.\nWould the democrats be selling off public lands? Probably not. Promoting legislation to weaken social security? No. Helping Halliburton? Probably not. Promoting legislation to strengthen public education funding? Probably.

What happened to the crew who Mutinied, what happened to those cast away in the life boat and what happed to Captian Bly?

The mutineers put Captain Bligh, together with 19 of the crew who remained faithful to him, on a launch. Cast at sea they suffered the most extraordinary dangers and privations, but ultimately reached home, and, as soon as the English government heard of the mutiny, it sent out the frigate Pandora, to retrieve the mutineers and bring them to justice.\n\nAfter being repatriated to England, ten prisoners were tried by a naval court. During the trial, great importance was attached to which men had been seen to be holding weapons during the critical moments of the mutiny, as under the Articles of War, failure to act when able to prevent a mutiny was considered no different from being an active mutineer. In the judgement delivered on September 18, 1792, four men whom Bligh had designated as innocent were acquitted. Two were found guilty, but pardoned; one of these was Peter Heywood, who later rose to rank of captain himself. Another was reprieved due to a legal technicality. The other three men were convicted and hanged. In other trials, both Bligh and Edwards were tried for the loss of their ships, and both were acquitted.\n\nFate of the Mutineers\n\nWhen the American sailing ship Topaz, commanded by Mayhew Folger, rediscovered Pitcairn Island in 1808, only John Adams, nine women and some children still lived. Five of the mutineers, including Fletcher Christian, had been murdered by Tahitians on Pitcairn Island; one died after a drunken fall; one was killed by the other two survivors after he attacked them; and one died of natural causes. All six of the Taihitian men were killed during the fighting. Of the nine Taihitian women, two were killed in falls while gathering eggs from a cliff.\n\nFletcher Christian was survived by Maimiti and their son Thursday October Christian, the first child born on the island. Rumors persist that Fletcher left the island and made it back to England. In 1825, John Adams was granted amnesty for his mutiny; Pitcairn's capital, Adamstown, is named for him. On November 30, 1838, the Pitcairn Islands (which include the uninhabited islands of Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno) were incorporated into the British Empire.\n\nThe voyage of Pandora in search of the mutineers is said to have given rise to the expression "bounty-hunting," which refers to searching for a fugitive to obtain a reward (bounty) of some sort.


I am retired and want to know if I can be penelized if I go back to work and earn too much money?

No. The only thing that could happen is the income that you make will put you in a higher tax bracket. If you make enough money and don't need to work, but want something to do you can volunteer and the miles and expenses you have are deductible if you are on a schedule a. As long as you volunteer at a non profit org.(hospital, goodwill). Do which ever you want you will not get penalized just a higher tax bracket is all. Good luck to you


Can you explain the end of the 2005 movie stay with ewan mcgregor and Naomi Watts.\n\n I did not understand a thing....

I just watched this film tonight.\n\nImagine witnessing a car wreck ahead.  You get out of your car and walk up to the vehicle.  All the passengers are dead.  The driver who was thrown from the vehicle is lying in the road on his death bed.  The next 10 minutes of your life is an experience that will change you.  How could you explain in just a few words such an event?  "Stay" tries illustrate it in film.\n\nMy interpretation is that the film attempts to illustrate\nthe emotions and involvement in the event of a young man's life passing on the highway.  More specifically, how Sam (Ewan McGregor) felt during the event and how it effects his view on his own life.  The reason Sam is affected so much is because he was able to relate to Henry (the dying driver).\n\nTo me the film was moving and I am sure is widely misunderstood.  Illustrating human emotion during tragedy is a difficult task. Tragedy can be a confusing, mindbending, and emotional experience. Some people loose their mind in some tragic experiences.  "Stay" did an excellent job of illustrating in film the un-illustratable.


I am a forgiving person if the offence is minor but I see people on the news who say they forgive a person who has murdered their loved one. How??? what does it mean then, that it is ok that they did it, that they don't mind, that they understand? My Dad was attacked almost two years ago by strangers on his way home, they hit him on the back of the head and he fell to the ground, they then stole from him and then proceeded to kick him in the head and stamp on him over and over again. They then dragged him over to a ditch and stamped on him again and left him to die. It was horrific, we know that the next day they played Queen's Bohemeom Raphsody over and over again, sing in the part " mamma, Just killed a man' Thankfully the police did a wonderful job and they were caught and are now serving 15 and  17 years in high security prison. I do not want to forgive them and never will, so please don't encourage me to do so. My question is What does forgiveness mean?

Literally I think it means to excuse or to pardon ones mistake, but this was no mistake and you have every right to feel the way you do. Some people say they do it because it helps them to accept what happened, releases their anger and allows them to focus on healing. Others I think are more self serving in that they want to seem the better person in appearances and receive the praise that accompanies it all the while still harboring their grief and anger. The thing is that there is no right or wrong way to feel in these situations, but in time you do have to learn how to cope with it. You can't forget about it because it did happen and you are not required to forgive, but you can not let it be all consuming and ruin your happiness and peace of mind. Take Care and Be Happy.


I want to adopt my sister's baby and we are trying to find the cheapest way to do it, would it be legal if we all agree to go to a notary public? Would it stand up in court if she changed her mind?

No the best you can do with a Notary is to get a Power of Attorney, which would give you certain rights, however this can be recinded as simply as it was made.  to assure your legal rights you need to see a lawyer and have a formal adoption.  If you qualify this may be done through legal aid or someother type of reduced charges.  You will also need the fathers permission to do the adoption and in these cases they will usually sign away their rights rather than have to pay child support.  With a Power of Attorney the court could order both parents to pay child support, so if they are wanting out of the responsibilities they will probably want a legal adoption.

I was driving on the freeway, put on my left turn signal, checked for traffic (there was about 5 car lengths in front of the closest car) and made my lane change. The person decided that he didn't want me in front of him and sped up. I had already entered the lane and had nowhere to go at that point, so I kept driving, hoping he wouldn't hit me from behind. Instead, he pulled on to the shoulder, sped up and caught up to me. He was so close, I could have put out my hand and touched his car. I was forced to slow down and let him in front of me to avoid being hit (in hindsight, I should have let him hit me - at least then, he would have had to answer for his behavior). He pulled in front of me, then flipped me off - at which point, his passenger pushed his hand down. I was so scared, I was screaming at him and flipping him off. Then, I was shaking like a leaf and crying from all the adrenaline fear causes. I got his car information and license plate - is there anything I can do?

Yes! Give his deatails to your local police station. In the United Kingdom this is road rage which is an idictable offence, and although the Scottich law was renowned throughout the world and being just, these day we seem to follow what the U.S.does, so if it is acrime here it must surely be a crime in America, and judging from the way your question was written, you are in America


i was wonderin ' if any one out there is up to speed with me and my grades. Wats ur report cards like?

I am so sick and tired of my neighbors I am glad my lease will be up soon cause I aint renewing it. I don't get any damn sleep and that generally affects the mood i am in the next day. It's a shame these walls are so thin that i heard my neighbors cell vibrating all night long. All they do is bump and stomp and run up and down the stairs all kind of crazy madness. On one side, the mother is always screaming at her kids about something just ridiculous parenting they are always banging on the door; on the other i have this bad ass boy that screams when he gets in trouble and sound like someone is murdering him. It seems like they are on top of my head cause all they do is drop shit all night bumping and banging. I just have a few more weeks of this but in the mean time i am loosing sleep and feeling irritable most time the next day cause i don't get any sleep at night

Maybe you should tell your neighbor about the kids but while you are telling make sure you don't have an attitude. Just tell them calmly(if u can)about the situation.


I was thinking of using my credit card to pay my monthly utilites and then immediately paying the bill.  Will several months of this raise it?

First let's dispel a myth about credit.\n\nLet's say you have a major credit card with a $2,000.00 limit and you charge $2,000.00 every month and when you get you statement you pay it in full. You will not have any late charges but your credit file will show that you owe the credit card company the full amount of your credil limit which will lower your score.\n\nIf you want the highest score possible make sure you credit card has as close to a zero balance(definitely not more than 50% of your credit line) when it is the end of your statement cycle. This is what is reported to the credit bureas.\n\nAlso, watch out for credit reporting lag, i.e. you pay off your credit card in March but the zero balance may not show up on your credit report for 60-90 days.\n\nAlso be careful, because some credit card companies are now not reporting credit limits to the credit bureaus but only high credit.\n\nIf you haven't checked out your credit reports go to www.annualcreditreport.com and you can get all 3 for free and it won't lower your score.\n\nOnly get your credit scores from www.myfico.com/12 because that is the real FICO score that lenders use. Plus you will get the top 4 reasons that your credit score isn't higher and that will give you a game plan. All of the other scores advertised on the web are worthless.

I ordered Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau and the same day I got a copy mailed to me from my son.  I want to CANCEL my order as soon as possible; I need his phone number immediately.  Thanks!

They don't have a 1-800 number. The best you can do is call Leslie Valenza (202) 973-1320 (reverse charges) - she works for a public relations firm that handles media for Natural Cures. She might be able to give you an 800 # for them.\n\nKind regards.


what did voltaire think of men...did he believe they were naturally evil? or were they naturally good??

Voltaire's philosophy was based on skepticism and rationality, which leads me to believe that he didn't really lean one way or the other. He probably would be more of the philosophy that men do good things and bad things, thus being skeptical of both the naturally good and the naturally evil philosophies. Check out the link below and see if that helps.


What empire was it?   What they were know for? ANYTHING PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Much smaller, for one.  And lower.  In fact it was much the same as it had been in the time of Jesus -- the walls that currently surround the Old City weren't built until Suleiman the Great in the early 1500s.  \n\nWell, except that the Temple had been destroyed by the Romans 700 years earlier, and the Al Aksa mosque was built on the site of the Temple in 700 AD.\n\nIn 800 AD Jerusalem was controlled by Muslims.  The Crusades didn't start until three hundred years later.  The guy before me ought to have done some basic research before answering.\n\nLook up Jerusalem History on Yahoo Search and you'll find dozens of websites, all giving different details.  Too many to cite here, other than the timeline below:


Politically America has been very divided over the past 5 years, though I think we're more similar and care about the same things more so than ever before.  What are our qualities?  What makes us good people?

Diversity fuels progress, whatever "progress" means. Just like with evolution, variation is what gets the process going, because with so many different traits (ideas, in this context), one of them is bound to be suited for the present environment. If everyone thought the same, we'd never have made it past the Dark Ages.\n\nWhat makes us "good" people is irrelevant to politics; goodness is subjective. I think I'm a good person because I'm self-motivated, egotistical, strong-minded and law-abiding (for the most part-- and good-hearted, I think, but that's subjective). Political affiliation has no bearing on what gives us good qualities; no two Democrats are exactly alike, and I'm sure there's a pair of Republicans and Democrats who could get along in quite a civil manner. (One of my closest friends is a Republican, and I don't hold it against her. Haha, humor!)

I've always felt that this is sort of a "no brainer." \n\nIf you kill a human being, it is murder. Who really cares at what age you kill it? It is still a human life.\n\nPeople will justify anything that serves them.\n\nWhy should a baby be destroyed because a woman is raped? Yes, rape is a horrible thing to endure. However... did the baby have anything to do with it? Is it the baby's fault? Why should one human being be killed for the crimes of another?\n\nTo me abortion is a cop out... now matter what the reasoning behind it is. If you can't raise the child, give it to someone who can. There are plenty of loving people who want to be parents and are unable to. How selfish it is to destroy a life and in the process, rob others of the joy they might have raising the child.\n\nTaking a life should never even be an option.\n\nJust another example of how selfishly sick some of us are.\n\nOZ\n\nSide note in response to bgooden28:\n\nThey do not abort "fertilized eggs"... they abort growing living fetuses. A woman would not even be aware of a "fertilized egg".... most women would not even realize they were pregnant until weeks into the pregnancy, depending on their menstrual cycle. Then add to that the additional time it takes her to get to the clinic and actually get the abortion done. By that time we are speaking about a small fetus... a growing human being.


plez only helpful anwsers. i can usally get girls easy but i have trouble talking to this one.

Okay i am a girl so just say do you like me?if she says no she means no! so walk away and say i'll see u later.


Over last two years events in my personal life have made me think seriuosly on the thought expressed in Bhagavad Gita {the ancient oration dictated by Lord Krishna to Arjun in the epic battle of Mahabharat} that the soul(ATMAA) cannot be destroyed. Till that time I used to be an atheist. I am a technical person and well educated and have good work exp. Never ever believed in such matters until had real experience that actually lends credence to that thought. The personal happenings are not open for discussion for personal sensitivity involved but my words are truthful.

Athmaa is The absolute cause and driving force of the whole universe and, as real as the invisible electricity which, essentially is the common driving force of lectrical, electronic and practically all types of equipments in the modern world. \nRegarding the Ghost Ref The Bhavagavadgetha chapter 4, verse 11, "yE yathaa Maam prapadhyanthE..... Interpreted meaning.. Bhagavan says "I am the force behind every form (MayaadhyakshEna..verse 9.10) I will appear to the one exactly the way he prays to me. Eg :1. His uncle Kamsa treated him as any animy, therefore he appeared him as his animy causing his end. 2. Arjuna treated him as his GURU and  Krishna guided him  not only to victory and prosperity, but also lead him to the imortal knowledge.\nThe Gost is the creation of a contaminated mind. If one keeps more faith in Gost than the God, HE will have no alternate but to appear so (As the Gost in his mind), and not to harm but to guide him towards the truth in way choosen by the thinker.  Even a wrong knowledge leads the individual to the next experiment till he finds the right one.


This is a E-mail I recieved about winning I don't know if Yahoo keeps track of fraud if so when I tried to search for this company no information about any lottery and I have been seeing alot of E-mail with @myway.com and alot of E-mail begging people to help them because they are suppose to be sick it ask people to help them with lost money to collect or help them to start some sort of organization ?\nCan you help me figure it out ?

Sure. You PROBABLY just unknowingly downloaded a TROJAN DOWNLOADER. Very common scam nowdays. All you have to do is go to the site. Don't even have to click anything there.\n\nIncidentally, did you ENTER a LOTTERY? If NOT, then WHY IN HELL would you GO LOOKING at such OBVIOUS CRAP???\n\nSorry. Truth hurts.


Does anyone know any website that has recently played songs on the radio in order?

Go to yes.com.  You can search for your station and get current playlists listed by minute/hour and also top 100 lists of the most commonly played songs for that station which helps if you don't remember the exact time of the play but know it's been in rotation.


I'm looking for a job and getting desperate... I can't seem to find anything I like. I live in a very small town in North Carolina. We have a Wal-Mart... I'm considering applying. What is starting pay at Wal-Mart (in NC). Does it vary by what you do, like cashier, electronics, etc.? Please help!!!!!!

Starting wage normally depends on the area you are in. Cashiers don't start out as high pay as some of the other areas, but it's still normally good pay for the type of job you're doing. I don't know what wages are in NC, but most Wal-Marts start out anywhere from $7.00-$12.00/hour. Most have a pretty good benefit package, too--which is sometimes hard to find in retail jobs. I have several friends who work at Wal-Mart and they all enjoy their jobs very much. I think it would be well worth your time to check it out. Good luck.


I was wondering if teens have the right to protest. And can they protest at school?

They sure do...at least in the U.S. and Canada.  That falls under the catagory of free speech, which everyone regardless of age has.


what are you doing online,\nBusiness, games, etc.\nWhere do you go first nomally,\nWhat should I be doing that is cool.

I pay most of my bills on-line.\n\nSometimes I shop on line.\n\nCollect rebates on line.\n\nI work from home by connecting to my computer at work. I love it. Saves a trip to the office.\n\nKeep in contact with Friends and do business through e-mails.\n\nResearch.  Mostly for my job.\n\nGet most of my news on-line.\n\nSend and receive faxes.\n\nI apply for hunting license's and tags on-line.


My son has had the same set of ear tubes for almost 2 years and the doctor said he may need to manually remove them in the office.  He said it can be quite painful, but there isn't anything that can be given for pain.  I have a hard time believing this in this day and age.  Any suggestions?

In children, often general anesthesia is used to remove the tube since children are afraid of what they are too young to understand.\n\nI am amazed the doctor said that removal is quite painful as it usually causes very little discomfort...\n\nFrom site: http://www.commonwealthent.com/Post_Op_Instructions_for_Myringotomy_Tubes.htm\n\n Removal of the tubes is a single procedure, done in the office and usually causes little discomfort. Following removal of the tubes, the ears will be checked in 2-4 weeks, and if complete healing of the eardrum has occurred, water in the ears will be allowed. Children may require general anesthesia for tube removal.


I'm 13 and I have a 4 1/2" penis when erect. Most of my mates say they have 6 up to 7 1/2" at the same age when erect. It use to only be 3" when erected. I know I have to wait and all that but what can I do to make it longer? any thing?

You can't do anything to make it longer, and please don't hurt yourself trying. Fortunately for all of us, how long it is is not very important to girls or women.  Boys and men worry about this a lot, but girls don't.  So whether it grows or not, you're still okay and girls will still like you.\n\nYour penis is like an artist’s paintbrush.  It’s not how long it is that matters.  It’s how skillfully you use it and how many different brush strokes you know.\n\nThese penis size questions come up again and again on this site.  Women almost always say it doesn’t matter to them.  And if it actually does matter to a small minority of women, so what?  There are still plenty left who don’t think it’s very important.  \n\nWhat’s far more important is whether you’re skilled at using your penis to satisfy your woman.  Can you last as long as you want?  Can you vary the depth of your strokes, the pace of them, the angle of them, so that you can offer your woman a little teasing and unpredictability at times?  Are you skilled enough at other ways to pleasure her, so that penis-vagina intercourse is only one of the things on the menu you offer her?  \n\nEven if you can’t do all of these things at present, these are all things you can LEARN to do.  But you can’t learn to have a bigger penis.\n\nAnd let’s not forget, it’s usually the person attached to the penis that decides whether a woman finds you appealing or not.  You could be hung like a horse, but if you’re an inconsiderate jerk you still won’t be very attractive to women.


a spinning top will stop why not the earth

the earth will not stop unless the sun is destory because remember that the earth is revolving around the sun and that keeps the earth spinning so until the sun is destroyed the earth going to keep spinning


I am talking to these two girls and they both are sweet and everything I want, but I don't know which one I should pick. I don't want to hurt either one of them.

This situation is only cumbersome if they know each other. Otherwise just date both of them for a while. Just don't give them false hopes until you decide. You may even get to have wild sex with both girls (not at the same time) and choose the best one. They would do the same.\n\nOn the other hand, if they know each other you may propably only have one go at it (nobody wants to be a "second choice") at least for a little while (say 3-6 months?). Just choose the hottest and proceed to have wild sex with her... (having simple criteria cures confusion and simplifies choice)


im an artist in the philippines since 1989 & become a graphic designer here in middle east last august 2005 but i didnt go to college. now only came to my thinking that i want a degree. i go 1 semester only way back 1990. now i blame myself of not attending college. its not because i dont know the job, i know my job more than those who studied, and i can even teach designing! but the problem is people will not trust you that much if you have no diploma, and you always have to prove yourself to your employer. what a silly thing! anyway, i want a correspondence studying to earn a degree. help me please.

Never too late, I'm 36 and just went back to school online. There are some good colleges online and it makes it a lot easier in everyday life to be able to sit down at your computer and take classes.  Check into it.


It's Adolf Hitler who led to the death of millions people as you know. Have you got any ideas about him?

Adolf certainly was a complex individual with many demons antagonizing a small brain.  He probably should have stuck to his earlier career, that of a house painter. The German army, during WWI didn't think much of him either, he made it to lowly corporal when, during war time, rank is relatively easy to make.  All you need do is stay alive and have half a brain.  We all know that he stayed alive.\n \nAdolf seemed to have relationship problems with women, it is my guess that he was a closet homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with it)but knew that his ambitions in politics would grind to a screeching halt if anyone knew.\n\nHis hatred for Jews is a mystery, except that he disliked their business practices and monopoly of many of the professions.  Speculation has it that he too had Jewish blood (bite your tongue).\n\nHis war time strategy was horrendously bad, especially his collaberration with astrology.  This was Germany's downfall militarily.  This man would overrule his generals and admirals on strategic matters that would end in failure.  Those failures were demoralizing and costly to the Third Reich and eventually brought Germany to defeat in WWII.  The best idea Hitler ever had was the Volkswagon.  That was even better than the 'chicken in every pot'.  I believe this was coined by FDR, during the depression.\n\nHitlers biggest strength was his fiery oratories.  He had the ability to encite the German people in a time when they needed a way out.  Even they couldn't read between the lines on where this guy was taking them, and by the time they realized it, it was probably too late.  He knew that anti-semnitism ran high amongst the Germans, and he played on that for all it was worth.  This should be a warning to all, in a democracy such as ours.  All men are created equal!  Don't ever forget that, and do not let it get in your way when deciding equality, politics, professions, religion or any other debate that you may run in to, in your lifetime.

ia m writing a research paper for school about my chosen career, which is advertising

I would actually visit advertising firms. Many would be flattered by the attention of someone writing a paper and you would be able to not only spend some time watching how things are done but also listening to diffrent stories from some of the executives on how they got hired. \n\ncall around to some local advertising firms and ask if you can spend the day in their offices learning about advertising.\n\nThe best source is straight from the horses mouths =).


The Chupacabra or Chupacabras is a creature said to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it was first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities.\n\nThe name, which translates literally from Spanish as "goat-sucker", comes from its reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Sightings began in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s, and have since been reported as far north as the Carolinas and as far south as Chile.\n\nThough some argue that the chupacabra may be a real creature, mainstream scientists and experts generally contend that the chupacabra is a legendary creature, or a type of urban legend.\n\nHistory\nThe legend of los Chupacabras began in about 1992, when Puerto Rican newspapers El Vocero and El Nuevo Dia began reporting the killings of many different types of animals, such as birds, horses, and as its name implies, goats. At the time it was known as El Vampiro de Moca since some of the first killings occurred in the small town of Moca. While at first it was suspected that the killings were done randomly by some members of a satanic cult, eventually these killings spread around the island, and many farms reported loss of animal life. The killings had one pattern in common: each of the animals found dead had two punctured holes around their necks.\n\nSoon after the animal deaths in Puerto Rico, other animal deaths were reported in other countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, Brazil, the United States and, most notably, Mexico.\n\nBoth in Puerto Rico and Mexico, El Chupacabra gained urban legend status. Chupacabras stories began to be released several times in American and Hispanic newscasts across the United States, and chupacabras merchandise, such as t-shirts and baseball hats, was sold.\n\nThe chupacabra is generally treated as a product of mass hysteria, though the animal mutilations are sometimes real. Like many cases of such mutilations, however, it's been argued that they are often not as mysterious as they might first appear.

hypothetical speaking,\nIf American Continent actually moved a timezone distance towards Europe, to gain an hour, say in summer.\n\nWould it be the same as setting the clocks an hour early?\nAny reasoning is great. or did i confuse you?

Yes it would be the same.\n\nDaylight saving time is used between summer and winter and not where they exist.\n\nSince the durations of day are very different in Summer and winter, it is better to have long working days in summer.\n\nThis is the reason why some countries don't follow it. Those at equator (similar suntimes in winter and summer) don;t follow and those away from equator(different suntimes in winter and summer) follow daylight saving time.


America can make it a National Holiday, so the Republicans can't forget about the impeachment, like they do about "TRICKY DICK NIXON'S".

What do you think on the deal with Wily Mo going to BoSox ( I HATE IT!!)

I've been an avid Reds fan since the days of Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and the Big Red Machine.  What MLB is doing to Rose tears me up inside, it is so wrong.\n\nAs for Pena and Arroyo, I think it is a good trade for the Reds.  Pena was a work in progress.  He will be great one day.  For now, the Reds really needed starting pitching.  Arroyo will probably be the No. 2.  The Reds needed to trade someone.  I just feel kinda bad for Wily Mo.  It looked like he would finally get a chance to play every day but now on the Red Sox, he will play behind Trot Nixon.

Let's say the fight occurred in six feet of water. And for those who would like to get technical on me, let's also pretend that the octopus isn't affected by the lower pressure in shallow water.

haha ok i have a couple questions...\n1) how old are you?\n2) what made you think of htis question?\n3) dont you have anything better to do lol?\n\nbut thats a tough question, i would say the octopus - stronger, and with the sucker/squeegie things, they could like wrap their arms around the giraffe and take it down...hope that helps!!


A friend is doing straight-legged sit ups in her Pilates class.  I have been told this is too hard on the back.  If you are in touch with a qualified fitness intructor please let me know the answer to this.

I have been a dance teacher (ballet, jazz, etc.) for 8 years, and have studied Pilates. Pilates is a wonderful way to strengthen your body, if you are just starting out, a basics class would be best for you. My opinion on straight legged sit ups is if you have a bad back, do not do this exercise. I never do straight legged sit ups, because I personally don't find it beneficial and it does bother my back... if you are looking to increase flexibility, straighten your legs out in front of you, and reach towards your toes, remembering to relax and breathe out (do not bounce or force your head to your knees). If you want to strengthen your core (abdomen) crunches are best, especially on a medicine ball, but ensure you execute the movement correctly with proper breathing. If you ever take an exercise class and there is an exercise that hurts you or makes you feel uncomfortable, do not do it. Ask the instructor for an alternate exercise or a modified exercise that will keep your body injury free.

Is it indefinite, or just a second term, or something else?

Colombia is a republic where the executive branch dominates government structure. Up until recently, the president was elected together with the vice-president by popular vote for a single four-year term, which functioned as both head of government and head of state. However, on October 19, 2005 the Colombian Congress amended the constitution, which now allows Colombian presidents to serve up to two consecutive four-year terms.


HELP!!!!\nThere is this guy in our school that i have never noticed him and now all of a sudden im seeing him everyhwere and now i even have a class with him and in a way i knw that there is something going on but the thing is im shy to say a word but i dont knw why he dousnt talk and in my other Q's plp say that he is shy and he likes me but how can i be sure i mean i want to ask him Q's about things that we do in class even though i knw the answers but thats a reason for me to talk to him but again im not sure becasue i dont want him to think that im too despret to be with him i mean im not but ull never knw what they might think. but i have a really big problem to talk to guys i cant really trust them at first and i get really shy when it comes to talking to guys. and its not like im going to give my number to him or somethin cuz im not in a hurry but i do want somethin to happen in a way so plz help

sure!  go for it... if he is as shy as you, the two of you will never talk!


He says he cares...He treated his ex gfs like shit(i know this) but treats me like a princess. I must say that i really love hangin out with him. It is like we can talk with just our eyes no words...so whats the problem? He wont ask me to be his official gf. We have talked about it a million times but still after all this time (4 months) still nothing. I had a small thing i wouldnt even call it a thing with his brother so i thought that was the problem but it isnt. I am not sure what to do. I have told him i am done but i cant bare the thought of losing him. So what? Do i just leave things how they are...Dont tell me to leave him becauce I wont. I know he cares but i think he is afraid to admit it sometimes. Im just confused.

I think you already answered your own question or why would you even ask it. Isn't just being with him enough why does the GF title have to be there? Chill out and relax, your in for a long ride sweetheart.


The reason I ask such a question is because....I meet a man  on office coffe run."yes I am the brown nosed coffe runner"give me hell,I can take it.LOL!!!After talking to this man for a while I asked him "what nationality are you"?His reply...."I am jewish".

No, being Jewish is not a nationality, because there are Jews from many many nations around the globe. What ties each Jew to other Jews is our religion, our Faith, called Judaism. Had you asked him to show you his passport, it would not have read, 'Jew,' and even if the passport was from Israel, it would not always mean he was a Jew, because Israel has citizens who are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever.


I am going to be teaching in a primary classroom next year. I am used to the older grades. What are the best websites for lesson plans and resources for all subjects? Also, is there another site other than scholastic.com that sells great teacher resource books?

I live in Texas. I do not want to do a refinance or a home equity. I cannot seem to find a source to consolidate my debt. I have good credit and i never have had a late payment. Everything i find is for people who have already fell behind. I do not wish to do this. I want to keep my credit good. I need to make one payment and interest per month rather than four. I am now self employed. Any suggestions?

Just go to your bank....if they can't help you they could certainly put you on the right track of someone who can.

hes my boyfriend and i just think hes not mature enough for me.

Well, that is a tough one but, if he is out of "Pampers" then just simply tell him that he is acting imature and advise him on how to improve.  It will take some graceful tact on your part however, I have confidence in you.

In most cases, when money is at stake, countries usually become cooperative with each other.  Communist China has become less of a political enemy as it focused more on its economy.  Could the same happen in the Middle East?  If they were to focus more on making money, would they feel less inclined to think about extreme religious ideas?

I agree with you.  I think if their economies were more global, with more wealth for more people (as opposed to oil wealth spread amongst a few) and more participative government, then, yes, there would be less violence and strife and unhappiness in that part of the world.


all we know is the facts and the Issue.  i need to know the actual case. The issue is Was the defendant actually operating the vehicle as he sat behind the wheel for purposes of the statute? Fact are basically guy is slumped over wheel police pulls up and asks if he needs help, guy says no they run license and reg.  it comes back suspended and not his car.  When he gets out a baggie of drugs falls on to ground.

Here are a few things that you could look for to help clarify your issue. First - the case is probably random and could be qualified in any state, so use the state you are in currently. Second - determine the definition of "operation of a motor vehicle", which should be found in any Motor Vehicle department booklet for a driving permit. Third - use the "common sense" rule. If the man was in a vehicle that was in a parking lot and there were no keys in the ignition and the engine wasn't running - there is no way he was operating the vehicle. If the guy was idling at a stop sign with the car in gear - well he was operating the vehicle. Even if you don't have any details other than what you wrote in your question, you can brainstorm scenarios and determine "If this, then that" answers. Hope this helps!


Dont most people love their pets so much, mostly because they give you that "unconditional love"

Its because it makes us feel better when we can find flaws in others. Or differences that we can ridicule. Also if we can be a judge, we feel power full.


It really is annoying. He tries to clear it every 30 seconds, I' brought him to the doc but, he has no f/n idea. Anyone know if there are any otc meds for this problem

I used to have the same problem when I was younger, turns out I had really bad allergies. I ended up taking allergy shots. I also had to make a conscious effort to stop though. Nasal spray inhalants may help some.


I think it's great that a girl, and guy itsn't afraid to show there male or female side. It's fun, just people are afraid of society, and what people think of them. Be different it's great!

I am running an online and offline marketplace for second-hand goods. I own some of the goods that i sell, but most of the goods are just listed by other sellers, and I receive a commission from the sale (just like Amazon). How does VAT affect me?

If you own a company, you're liable to VAT if you earn over £60,000 a year. If you're soletrader it may be less than that.\n\nGoto http://www.hmrc.gov.uk for more info


Do you practice substance abuse before the screen?


My husband of 8 yrs dated for 6 thought I knew him.He is sometimes emotionally abusive.I tell him my feeling or lack of after kissing other told spouse was leaving he begged me to stay and I was nuts for wanting to end marriage over feeling.we have 2 young boys.Had problem with husband excessively tickling son he stopped but not because he thought wrong but because I said it was abuse and was going to leave.I can not forgive him and stopped having sex with him. he is trying to win me back cannot even stand him kissing me.He gets really angry about that and has forced me to kiss him this just makes it worse.I am so confused that a man that says he loves me can treat me like this and I have never been on my own but think I should probably leave. Also I do not work outside home and he says because we are sleeping separate I shouldn't spend money on myself though I am still taking care of house and kids 24/7 makes me feel unloved maybe just wants me around so he can see his kids everyday

Once the love is gone there is nothing to stay for. If you do it for the kids then they see you unhappy NOT GOOD. You need to learn to be on your own cause him forcing you to kiss him can turn into forcing you to have sex and that is rape, even by a husband. Tickling isn't abusive it's affection and laughter unless one is complaining about not wanting to be touched in certain areas. As for you honey you have to leave for your own sanity. If your not happy and love doesn't exsist anymore your only making yourself miserable by staying. I know cause I'd like to leave my situation as well but my finances are 0 and I have no job. So I know where your coming from on that end, it's not easy as it sounds. I'll pray for you and you pray for yourself lets let GOD handle the fools. GOD BLESS


Which is the better option for a durable wedding ring?

the Mohs scale is a scale of hardness for gem material only and it goes by what will scratch what, like diamond at 10, corundum(sapphire and ruby) at a 9 and so on down the scale.  there are not equal increments between the numerical ratings either and scale does not apply to metals...  titanium will scratch very easily and really cannot be refinished while tungsten is extremely scratch resistant.

I need to make a timeline for historic events between 1800-1840 for Pride & Prejudice but I have no idea what was happening in England during that time period...

Isn"t that when germany was attacking them? I have friends in England, she's english, he's polish and it was in that time period that he came as a tank driver from poland  to england to help defend from the germans, and that's when they met and fell in love & got married.  He told me the germans were trying to blow up the old historic sites in particular. Sorry, that's all I know, which isn't much.

Im sick of my friends stealing pictures that I take at partys and then putting them on there xangas. Can someone please tell me where I can get a code to where they cant copy or paste them or save them to their computer?!\nThanks so much! \n\nITS FOR XANGA !

You can't really keep people from stealing a JPG and reposting it someplace.\n\nWhat you CAN do is watermark your images with some text -- your name, a copyright message, a Web link -- so it's obvious you took the photo. Position it properly, and they won't be able to crop it out.\n\nThe program I use is called 1-more Watermarker, and it's located here: http://www.1-more.com/pr_water.htm\n\nIt costs $19 but you'll find it's well worth the money.\n\nYou could also try searching on http://www.download.com for watermark programs and might be able to find a freebie; the one freebie I found there, about a year ago, was trash, but maybe there's a good one now.

If you get poor service due to many factors such as long waiting or food being messed up other than what the server could control would you still tip your server?

A friend of mine and were driving along minding our own bussiness when a cop came flying up behind us..he kept tailgaiting her,,,she was nervos so she hot her turn signal and pulled into a driveway..a few momnets later he was following us againa..he searched her car with pernisson but he searched my purse without permission..and unfortanatly found a mmarijuana roach equal to about 1/2 a gram of marijuana..isnt it illegal to search with out a warrant or permission

The fourth Amendment of the US Constitution provides: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."\n\nThe Supreme Court has also held that individuals in automobiles have a reduced expectation of privacy, because vehicles generally do not serve as residences or repositories of personal effects. Vehicles may not be randomly stopped and searched; there must be probable cause or reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Items in "plain view" may be seized; areas that could potentially hide weapons may also be searched. With probable cause, police officers may search any area in the vehicle. They may not, however, extend the search to the vehicle's passengers without probable cause to search those passengers.\n\nPresumably, the police could claim that you could store weapons in your purse. However, the claim would also have to be based on a reasonable claim that they thought that you and your friend had committed or were about to commit a criminal act and that there were reasonable grounds to believe you had weapons. You may want to speak to your lawyer further about this matter


Granted, it doesn't have the same rush as a motorcycle.  But, being 6'2" from the ground and going 15 mph on little dinky wheels on wet Boston cobblestone with doggie-doo and geese-doo here and there does have it's challenges.\n\nThere are two places that I go.  The Minute Man Trail which is long, straight, and smooth.  Then there's the Charles River in Boston which is an obstacle course, what with bikers, walkers, dogs, and plenty of eye candy to distract a guy.  It's even fun in the winter, if you're dressed well enough.

Hate to break it to ya, but I don't think that I love rollerblading as much as you do. When I was younger I got these totaly awesome rollerblades (well, I guess they were rollerskates,,,but oh well) from the thrift shop. When I got home it was soooo scary for me. But, finially I got the hang of it and got enough courage to go down the huge hill that I live on. Sure, I was on the grass the most of the time..but that doesn't matter. Then, once I got to the flat surface I realized the whenever i tried to break they would squeek really really badly! It kinda was a bummer. So, there I was rollerskating around the neighbor being extra cautious and breaking every few seconds or so, making loud noises! Ha, ha. It was good. \nThen in 5th grade or so I got some different rollerBLADES from a garage sale...not knowing that they lacked padding. So, once I put them on and took a whirl I noticed a lot of blisters on my heels. So, I thne decided to wear about 5 pairs of socks. It was all good. LOL (laugh out loud).\nTata,\nPolarGirl8


I am a independant and i was wondering why so many people choose between these two political parties. I am wondering what is the con and pro. :)

Wow, kudos to all of the people who took the time to read his question.\n\nDemocrats generally are for the 'little guy'.  They feel that government's role is to help the less fortunate and get everything a little more equal.  They don't mind taxing the rich to help the poor (kind of like Robin Hood). They are generally for more freedoms for individuals (except for things like gun control).\n\nRepublicans generally are for smaller government and less restriction on business.  Their philosophy is more 'every man for himself'.  They don't want the rich to be taxed as much since they are the 'engine' of the american economy.  They are more comfortable restricting people's rights in order to maintain a 'moral' society.


i am chief ingineer in iraq refinery my jop need no so activity i got 3 y ago blood suger and last year blood hyper tension 150/95 i use atonolol 100 but some times pressure rise without responce from drug to 190 /110 during night with difficult to sleep ask for advicement,,, thanks

Go see a Dr, I also have high blood pressure and hypertension, I also take atentonol, but have to take another blood pressure med with it. Just a suggestion, every ones different , but if your blood pressure is that high while resting you may need a different med or additional meds, seek medical help


Ever wonder why our atmosphre rotates faster from West to East than the planet itself rotates?

Dominique sort of brushed why parts of the atmosphere can move so fast. The reason is the pressure gradient force. The jet stream is partially directed by Coriolis (Earth rotation) but mostly powered by large air masses that squeeze it into a narrow stream. The effect is much like the narrowing of a large river down a narrow canyon - the air gets squeezed into this meandering jet.\n\nNot all the atmosphere moves faster than the rotation of the earth, and atmospheric rotation has two separate components - that which rotates with the sphere and that which rotates more 2-dimensionally (vertical or horizontal) with respect to the surface of the planet. Some air is almost stagnant, but most moves around in all directions, only the jet streams have consistent westerly flows (west to east) which usually dips in wide northerly and sourtherly loops. \n\nThe core of the planet actually consistently rotates faster than anything else.


Take into account: fiber/copper, distance, slack, waste, riser/horizontal, etc, etc.

Try http://helmig.com/ and follow the links from there. You can get a lot of stuff there. \n\nHope that helps. All the best

Known this guy for 4 years and have stayed in contact on and off each of using "bad timing" as an excuse to start a relationship.Last runin with him we talked for 2 months then did our usually stop calling each other, then everything changed when he calls and says he is moving out of state for a great job oppertunity and would like to see me one last time be for he leaves.We go out and sparks fly never felt so connected, he expresses his feelings of always pushing his feelings away for me but can't hold them back any longer.He is great in every aspect and has all qualities Ive been looking for.I completely feel him in every way he is feeling me.Here's the CATCH:Since the last time we talked which was 1.5 yrs ago he married his son's mother and had 2 other children with her, then found out the son wasn't his and got a divorce.Well just recently he tells me he hasn't signed the papers for the divorce, but they are separated and he has issues with finalizing it r/t seeing his girls.

he's already in a hell of a situation so dont involve urself in his sh*t..\n\nlet him get over his family matters 1st & then when it's done, u may continue hoping that a relation might arise b/w u 2..

Some religious groups like to hand out pamphlets to random people - I'm sure we've all seen this. So, the question is, does anyone actually decide to convert based on recieving a tiny and simplistic pamphlet with a salvation prayer on the back? I could see it happening perhaps if the situation was desperate, but all people I've seen who have converted to another religion can usually fit their reason into one of three categories: 1. They actively decided they wanted to convert after personally seeking out information on that religion, not after passively recieving a pamphlet on a religion they previously had no interest in. 2. They converted because the person they were romantically interested in practiced that religion. 3. After being dissatisfied with their current religion they wandered to another relatively random one in hopes that it would fulfill their needs.\n\nAnd if pamphlets annoy people so much, don't you think it will drive them away from your religion instead of towards it?

those little pamphlets are meant to be handed out when you go and talk to someone. After talking to them,and they show interest in what you say, it is a  sort of a thought to leave you with. I agree people who throw them at you or annoy you with them are hurting the cause more than helping

I think it has to do with Signalman first class Douglas Monroe who received the Medal of Honor in WWII.

The Cutter MUNRO was named after Signalman First Class Douglas Albert MUNRO.  He is the only Coastie to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor.  The Medal was awarded posthumously for the actions displayed on 27 September 1942 during the Battle of Guadalcanal.  The citation is available through the following link...

I'm seeing some fairly consistent themes on yahoo answers.  One of which is rightwingers promoting democracy and economic liberalism; so much so that they advocate forcibly exporting it upon other countries.  But when it comes to social liberalism and allowing people the opportunities that a free and democratic society should confer, they get a bit rabid and start spitting out liberalism like it's a bad word.\n\nIt seems to me very much a case of "one rule for me, one rule for you", or perhaps "my freedoms for me, and your freedoms are sick and wrong and should be punishable by death".\n\nBut how do you feel about it?

Rich corporations can afford to hire consultants who will go the the houses of congress and lobby (which includes favors, gifts, trades-scratch my back, I'll scratch yours-perhaps even monetary endowments to congress people and senators) in order to pass bills, etc, that help them line their coffers with cash, or in some other way benefit the corporation by making it easier to do what they want.  The everyday person obviously can't afford that, or probably doesn't even know that it is possible.\n\nAs for the popular theme in America these days of condemning what some other American believes as "non-American", is not only rude and absurd, but completely wrong and in fact, very un-American.  Obviously freedom of speech and religion and choice is part of what America is all about.  But fear creeps in and people go off half-cocked and begin trying to control the very thing that scares them.  People are more than a little crazy with that sort of thinking right now.  We really need to go back to a more free, spread love--not war, happy, let it be, sort of thinking.  Probably not possible, times are more sophisticated than that, but wouldn't it be nice??  Why would someone think that condemning anothers beliefs is a good thing??  Just makes me think they are completely close-minded and angry.  Why waste energy on such destructive thoughts and actions??  Love and understanding is the way, and yet so many people seem not to know.

i love him so much but he doesnt understand why it hurts so badly when hes always glaning and staring at females.  does anyone elses boyfriend do this?

Yes honey I went threw the same thing..and guess what..I'm been married to that man for 6yrs now..Very happily..the first year was very rocky but we made it threw..Every time he would stare at other women I would walk out on him..then finally I embarrassed him by standing up one day looking at him and her and told him " if you wanna ask her out so bad go for it" and walked out..Mind you we was in a restaurant. You should have seen his face..Finally after sometime he started seeing how he was making me feel and I wasn't' going to take it anymore. I stared at fine men and made comments and watched how he reacted. Things started changing..But keep in mind if you don't want him to gawk at other women you have to keep him happy with food and of course in the bedroom..One more thing...Its okay to look at the menu just don't try to purchase or taste anything..k


that don't involve civiliisations at war, pref books of Discovery in the universe and interstellar travel

These books were written in the '60's and '70's, but because of the way they were written will still have relavance today.

We’ve been married about 20 years, have a 16-year old, and the problems are all because of me. Lately the fighting has gotten so bad I am starting to think that it would be better for all if we just split.\n\nThe main problem is something the wife calls an affair. I don’t know if it was an affair, but it was incredibly stupid and very wrong of me to do this. I started sending e-mails to a woman who owns a popular web site (I think you know the type), including some at first which had sexual content, and then sent her some money. She replied to my e-mails but never to the sexual statements I made (which were just to compliment her various…attributes). Obvious I am an a—hole for doing this, and I have acknowledged repeatedly and sincerely that I was terribly wrong to do this.\n\nTo regain true the wife has restricted my online use. Which is fair. However her definition of what is wrong is, to me, somewhat arbitrary on the edges. Looking at this very e-mail would likely be forbidden. The result is that I make mistakes and these mistakes lead to huge fights.\n\nSo, if we did divorce, it would be ultimately due to my own stupidity, but currently due to “irreconcilable differences.” I think. \n\nI know that financially I would be slammed in a settlement, and that is fair, but I wonder how slammed? I suspect her parents would hire an expensive lawyer even if I agreed to everything to keep the costs and pain-of-separation down.\n\nAny thoughts? (Other than “you are an idiot.” I already know that.)

She is feeling betrayed. It hurt her so bad that everytime she looks at you she wants to scream. And probably throttle you. You are not an idiot though. Everyone makes mistakes. You probably didn't have the intentions of cheating at the time. I really suggest you move out for a little while. Don't jump into divorce. You can't undo the financial and emotional ruin it causes. So separate for a little while and see how that goes. I think it will give you time to think before jumping into that. Perhaps counseling didn't work because you would just come home and continue the fight. Maybe if you move out and try to go to counseling it will be more productive. Do some sweet things between now and then and let her see how sorry you really are. Although you shouldn't stay for the kids, I should warn you how painful divorce will be for your 16 year old. I am a child of divorce and it caused me alot of pain and still does. Try a seperation because your marriage can be worth saving.


whenever i posed questions on terrorism and brutal killing of innocents in the name of religion none of the muslims has come up with proper answer.none of them regretted for their fellow muslims acts.none of them condoned atleast .instead they are giving absurd replies seeking explanation on Gujrath incident etc actually Gujrath incident was trigerred by muslims .thts not the way 2 defend .admit tht u were wrong .a fault confessed is half redressed. first educate u r fellow muslims let them know wht actually islam is not me .educate them wht islam is?appeal them to shut down terrorist camps.i think every muslim in this world needs a copy of quran .wht u say is every religion has good followers and bad ones .i dont agree u have bad ones more and u r religion is degrading. rescue u r self .after all god helps those who help themselves thts y Afghanistan and Palestine are struggling.time to introspect.if u dont then muslims may have to face worst consequences.this is not threat but truth.

STANDING OVATION !!!! \n\nWhen the cave men learn to work and play well with others, the civilised world may change their point of view about islam.\n\nWhen there is a mass public outcry from the majority of islam condemning the terroristic acts of their minority islam terrorist brother and sisters, the civilised world may change their point of view about islam.\n\n\nWhen muslims can refrain from going insane and killing innocent people and destroying private property when someone draws a picture of their prophet,the civilised world may change their point of view about islam.\n\n\nWhen islam can PROVE they can live in peace with other cultures and religions WORLDWIDE(without the other cultures and religions having to pay the jizyah tax),the civilised world may change their point of view about islam.\n\nThe jisyah tax is something the infidel must pay to keep peaceful and loving muslims from killing them. You would be given the chance to convert to islam, if you dont, you are either killed or forced to pay the tax, paying them a bribe every so often to keep them from killing you. This is sharia law.


I got my international Masters degree last year and am now interested in pursuing a PhD, preferably in the US, Europe or Australia. However, I have financial limitations and need sponsorship or support. I need to find funding resources or full scholarships that Brazilians are elegible for. I am interested in a PhD in human sciences or related to HR or Marketing. Thanks!

hi :\ninternational students can get full american universities scholarships according to requirements of each university\nso in order to get an scholarship u should pursue the following steps:\n\n1-check the university rankings (in ur field of study) through diffrent websites\n\n2-check the associated university websites for conditions \nto apply for phd program\n\n3-fill the application form and prepare other requirments (which may include TOEFL & GRE ) and dont limit urself to\none university only apply for as many as u can offer the registartion fee (namely 100 $ ).\n\n4-all other steps including getting american visa should be conducted after the university's approval.\n\n\ngood luck


And if so, do you think a women will become president soon? I personally think this could be a good idea, because I hear that a lot of women actually have some pretty good ideas and stuff. What are everyone elses thoughts?

There are several women out there right now with the nads to be president.  Many other nations have female heads of state so why no the U.S.?  One way to look at it is being a good mother.  To do this you have to be a good leader requiring strength, making tough decisions even if those you lead (your kids) hate you for a while, being flexible with what new information comes your way, and so forth.  \nNot saying a president has to be a mom, just saying women have the ability and strength of character to do the job.\n\nThanks for a great question.

define a friend. friends won't let friends drink and drive, what else will friends do or not do? do we always know who our friends are? how far will you go to help a friend and how far will you let a friend push you into something you are uncomfortable with?

There are many different types of friends - soul mates, party mates, dependable mates and those fair weather mates.  All have a personal value you place on them depending on how theyve treated you, helped you, or how you feel for them.  People can say they are your friend but only you can decide over time wether they really are!!And remember we test each other to truly see if a friend is a friend so if a friend pushes you into something you are not comfortable with - be the true friend you would want and tell them - its probably what they want to hear!(Always trust your instinct)


Would you refuse to give him money because of this?  Would you offer to buy him a sandwich instead, or would you just ignore him?

I'd prefer that they use the money for food, clothing, shelter, toiletries etc. Someone suggested giving out $5 fast food gift certificates instead of money and that sounds like a great idea.\n\nI certainly don't like to encourage harmful habits but out of sympathy for their psychological plight--since I know they may face hopelessness and despair-- I give to provide any kind of comfort and support I can in a hard world.\n\nYes, I do sometimes give money to the homeless knowing they will likely buy booze.

The so-called panels consist of some chips?what are those chips?Solar power stored in some Batteries.What are those batteries? Whether these panels can be manufactured in a small set up like any other  Village  Industries.OR How  the heat generated by the solar energy can be transmitted to a copper coil and generate heat in it?

Solar or light can be converted into current and batteries can be made at a smaller scale. Example is, small calculators are powered by solar cells.\n\nAs for as construction of those batteries they are made of smaller cells and then smaller cells are joint with other smaller cells to make little large cells. Its very expensive to make them on commercial level thats why we are addicted to oil.\n\nCheap things sometimes don't come cheap.

Is selecting (or being selected) no differnt than being selected for a job (basically, "best person for the job")?

No I think its completely different than a job!  lol  A job is something u have to do in order to like ummmmm eat!  lol  When finding a man or woman its all about the chemical reaction u have with each other.  The magnet that draws you together with another person.  The scent each one of us gives off is unique.  Its all about attraction, need, and desire for one person.  Some people could view it as a job application- look at speed dating!  lol  But thats why they r failing- cuz they consider it a job and its not coming naturally out from them like it should!  everyone is trying too hard and not being themselves and the world seems to be on fast forward!


My husband and I got married at our district magistrate in Feburary since a wedding ceremony was out of the question( half of my family was deceased,plus my brothers did not want to come).We are planning a wedding reception May 27th.In wedding etiquette,I heard it is not polite to ask for gifts as gifts are meant for the ceremony and not the reception.I had told all my guest we are not accepting no gifts because I feel it is wrong,but my husbands side of the family is giving us wedding presents.How would I explain to them we do not want the gifts after they had paid for the items or should we accept them and give them a thank you note?\nAll answers are appreciated

Your wedding reception is the same day as mine!  I say take the gifts and send them a thank you.  What would be the alternative?  To hand it right back to them and tell them again that you would prefer no presents?  A lot of couples keep the ceremony itself to immediate family only and then invite the rest of the guest to join in the celebration with them.  Gifts are not for the ceremony alone, they are for the unity of the two.  They are for the celebration in general.  Also, many times when the couple expresses the "no gift" preference, it can also be read as "we prefer money."  It's your wedding!  Open a gift or two!  It may even be something the two of you could really use.

The messenger for linux doesn't work at all.  It keeps shutting down and although yahoo is my favorite messenger I can't have it on my comp now.  So is there a new one coming out soon that is updated?  I know that people are working on windows messengers that are strong but there are more and more linux users and we need a good messenger too.  So like I asked before...when is a new one that actually works coming out that works on linux?

You can find a slightly newer version (1.0.6) at the link below; it was compiled by a Yahoo employee, though not a member of the Messenger team.  (Note that it's a bare binary, so you'll need to install the "official" 1.0.4 version first, then overwrite or move aside the old ymessenger.bin file.  You may also need to create a libgtkhtml.so.0 symlink in the lib directory, pointing at the existing libgtkhtml.so.6 binary [i.e., "ln -s libgtkhtml.so.6 libgtkhtml.so.0"].  Ugly and manual, but it's safe enough, and it works fine.)\n\nOther than that, your best bet is GAIM or Kopete or similar, as the other respondent suggested.  The sad fact is that there does not appear to be any official support for or interest in the Linux client, and apparently even the Mac client is supported only sporadically.


I have sinned! I chose to be a fag and make love to men. I wish to kill all republican. Juses save me!! I'm d00med to hell. No real reason for this post so I doubt it will be around for long. Just so sick of all the answers that say its a choice. If you beilve so tell me the exact date you made the choice. When did you go, you know what? I'd prefer someone of the opposite sex. No one knows the cause. All I know is I never made a choice. I never made a choice to be attracted to males, I just over time realized I did. Just as an aging hetro eventually notices their attraction to the other gender. If you read through all this, I sincerely thank you. (unless you read it all then post something moronic)
