No doubt, the primary goal is profit. But investment decision should also integrate environmental and social dimensions that can have a significant impact on financial performance. But do managers think about these other dimension? Are they equipped with the right tool kits to get information about social and environmental aspects?

Management training and development programs have always played an important role in multinational companies in updating managers' knowledge of new corporate policies and techniques, and providing information on new structures of local and international markets. \n\nAlthough global in nature, the corporate culture and business needs of the host country predominate many management training programs. The national culture of the country from which the company originates also has an influence. \n\nThese programs are beneficial for all managers, especially local national managers who work in subsidiaries in host countries and face different cultures and markets in making decisions\n\nManagement training programs that focus on cultural features must be modified to account for special circumstances of managers who differ in personal profile and training needs


Father passed away 1-23-2004.  All pictures were lost in a house fire. I have no idea of how to get any copies of them. His name was Johnny Ray Wooten.

Go to the phone book, ask the operator for the number to Marine Corps Recuriting Depot, (Parris Island or San Deiog) and ask for the number to the photo shop there on base.  You'll speak with a civilian ~ civil service clerk ~ he or she should be able to help you from there ~ might be handy if it you have his SSN0 #  \n\nYou'll have to be patient ~ as you've got to go through the voice mail.

In a good conductor, electron flow doesn't really affect physical structure.  When atoms in a conductor bond together, one can think of the atoms' electrons as "free electrons," able to roam hither, thither and yon with little interference.  Without an electric current, you can think of these electrons just roaming about randomly - there's no overall flow.  When one introduces an electric current, these electrons all flow in the same direction.  So you see that the physical structure in the conductor is the same - roaming electrons - the only physical difference is that the electrons flow together in a current, while they do not otherwise.\n\nAs far as changes on a larger-than-atomic level - electric current can heat up a material conducting the current.  This, for example, is how light bulbs work: a current flows through the light bulb and heats the little filament inside.  As the filament heats, it also glows and - voila! - light.  Also, if you stick a thin copper wire between the two poles of a car battery (DON'T try this!) the wire will vaporize due to the heat produced by the massive current running through it.\n\nOne final thing - please note that heating something up (even if it glows) is not a physical change, but rather a transfer of energy.  However, if the conductor vaporizes, like the copper wire, this is a physical change.


My dear friend in from Laos. She is a student at the University of Laos. I have visited her and her family in Laos a few times and I would love for her to visit me. (My treat, of course) How hard it is for her to get a visa? What about if she would like to go to school in the USA? Has anyone ever done this and how difficult was it? (I am an English as a Second Language teacher - I met her when I was there volunteer teaching. I would happily sponser her...) THANKS!!

everything is possible if you put your mind into it and for you to do that, you have to go to the immigration website and see what would be needed so she can get a visa. here is the link and hope it can help you.\n\nhttp://www.greencardplus.com/visa_f1.html

A guy (over 18) has sex with a girl (under 18). He does not find out she was under 18 until some time later, at which point she is now 18. Should her parents find out, can they press charges against the guy? And what part does the girl's cooperation play in it? (in terms of agreeing to testify or not).

That depends on the laws in the state where this took place.  The age of consent varies by state, and there are certain exceptions which take age differences into account. Even if the guy was an adult, and the girl a minor, consensual sex -may- have been legal.\n\nYou'll need to be more specific - the ages of the guy and the girl the first time they had sex, and the state.\n\n**Ignorance of her age is not a defense, no matter what.**\n\np.s In his answer, ravi cites ages between 12 and 21 (but doesn't give a source).  I'd like to point out that NO state has an age of consent under 14 or over 18.\n\np.p.s. In some states, the age of consent laws have been amended so that an adult "in a role as an authority figure" (teachers or school employees, especially) can be charged with statutory rape, even if the age difference exclusion has been met.


I have had Fibro since I was 16 and am now almost 36. I have seen more doctors over the years than I can count from Neurologists to Rhuematologists to Chiropractors to Psychiatrists to Pain Specialists. In my experience pain medications do not work. A muscle relaxant is much more helpful. I have also tried biofeedback, steroid shots, trigger point injections, two sleep studies, nerve blocks, accupuncture, foot braces, wrist braces, carpal tunnel release surguries, and so much more. All just torture and I felt like a guinea pig.\nMy best advise is make sure to get plenty of sleep, take a multiple vitamin, keep active in at least low impact sports, and consider Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements (consult the doctor or a nutritionist to have her Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful), meditation does help some in keeping the pain back if you can seperate your mind from the pain, and try to take 2-3 warm Epson Salt baths a week (Epson salt contains Magnesium and soaking in a warm tub of it helps to get the mineral into the body. Magnesium aids the muscles in using oxygen and when the level is low which is typical in Fibro it can cause are cramps, spasms, and pain.) \nAlso, Fibromyalgia is a neurotransmitter disorder and certain foods can trigger similiar symptoms to Fibro. Try to have her eliminate Monsodium Glutamate from her diet. I did and some of my symptoms (chronic headaches and nausea) went away. It is in everything from Doritos to chicken soup. A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". Otherwise, learn your limits and pace herself.\nGood luck!


Know of any websites to occupy my time at work?  Sometimes my work days gets pretty slow and I hate when the day draaaaaags on!

overheardintheoffice.com is a favorite of mine and it's especially good if you work in an office.\nwikipedia.org is another one if you feel like learning obscure facts.\nuncyclopedia.org is a much funnier take on wikipedia, basically a fake, yet hilarious, encyclopedia.\ntheonion.com will provide you with hilarious news satire (although i'm unpleasantly restricted from reading it at work).\nimdb.com is a place where i spend a lot of time researching movie info.\nexplodingdog.com has a lot of interesting artwork.\ndespair.com is a great comic satire on the ridiculousness of the corporate/office environment.\ngoogle.com is great because i spend about 30% of the work day googling things.\n\nthis should keep you occupied until actual work needs to be done.


It seems like everyone complains about everything but is unwilling to do anything to "fight the powers that be"?\n\nAll the freedoms we currently have is because those who came before us fought & died for equality and a voice in the process, and now we are all just pissing our freedoms away, and it seem like no one care. \n\nSomeone please tell me there is still hope out there!!

No matter what efforts we as individuals may take based upon our hearts and our principles, those efforts are generally nullified when the relative few people who vote vote with their wallets or out of misinformed fear.  Consider the outcome of the 2004 Presidential Election for a clearer understanding of my meaning.\n\nAnd, yes, there is still hope.  I care and so do you.  Isn't that a start?


Need to burn some minor flab in that region. (also will improve certain features of that area ;).)

You don't decide where the flab dissapears from no matter what anyone says, your body decides this.  If you lose weight you will lose it in a certain part of your body first, or all over a little at a time, or everywhere but one place.  You cannot control it.  I'd say just keep losing until the flab is gone from the areas you care about.


i was in a group but i feel that it is not that serious to me, people try to take control but it isn't there group.they say smart things that just make u so mad.\n  I Have told them that i am out \nhow could i tell what i want.

I am getting a divorce. My children want to live with me,but I am having a very hard time just seeing my kids. I am not a violent person I dont even spank my kids. Everyone I have talked to says its a womans right to have the kids but I disagree!I know how I feel about my girls,just because I am a man does not mean I cant take care of my kids just as well as their mother.Any advice would be greatly appreciated         roaddog7072@yahoo.com

I don't know where you live but I live in Ontario Canada and I had custody of my children. The reason being that I requested the court to appoint the children their own lawyer, it did and because our chidren have rights here they choose to be with me. The childrens female lawyer and my female lawyer fought my ex's femail lawyer and what it all boiled down to was the childrens right to be with the parent they wanted to be with. If a child has the capability of choosing then the courts will or at least should listen to them. I did have a male lawyer but because my ex wife had a female lawyer my lawyer recomended that I have a female lawyer fight for me and for the kids. I won custody and my ex had to pay me support for the raising of the children. More and more fathers are getting custody now cause here there finding out that the mothers do not stay at home with the children as much as they first thought. Aparently the fathers do stay home and do spend more time with their children when they have custody. Don't give up your fight and good luck


I don't like bush because he is a horrible president and  because, he started a war for something based on opionon!!

Having such hopeless loyalty to a person of authority, even in the event of proven corruption (Bush or not) is just ASKING to be found as a complete idiot.\nThe president, and ANYONE ELSE in an authority type position must EARN their respect. It isn't AUTOMATIC. If someone thinks it is, then how about the respect for tyrants like Saddam? Of course people make excuses why it's different so they can justify their position of needless loyalty.\nWith that logic of supporting the powerholder in any event, we aren't freeing anybody from any tyrants. IF a people are willing to hopelessly 'respect' and not complain about their harmful power-holders, then they don't have a tyrant do they?\nThat would be people's fault. And Bush and Co is loving every minute of the fake-patriots who lay down and submit just because he's in a position. It gives him and his cronies less of a reason to be found as bad as they are, since the public lets them do it.\npathetic!\n\n"The Limits of Tyrants are Proscribed By the Endurance of Those They Oppress"\n-Fredrick Douglas\n\nI'd like to clarify to those who think I might be comparing Bush to Saddam. They are only similar in the way that they are the ones with power of their country, and deserve criticism each respectively.\n\n"All Men Having Power Ought to be Mistrusted" \n- James Madison\n\nI am only trying to point out the fact of BLIND OBEDIENCE is the absolute ENEMY of freedom. People who think they're being patriotic are being anything but patriotic when they say criticism to the president weakens the country. The President (and the administration) is doing that on their own accord. Criticizing and doing something about it is the only choice. It is an act of responsible citizenship. If you love your country, then you love it enough to fight what corrupts it (including the government) no? \n\n\n"That We are to Stand By the President, Right or Wrong, is not Only Unpatriotic and Servile, but is Morally Treasonable to the American Public"\n- Theodore Roosevelt

By not obtaining warrants for wire taps he violated FISA. These warrants could have been obtained up to 72 hours after the fact.\n\n For being the Commander-in-Chief of an army which tortured POW's. A good leader should receive praise when his decisions lead to good and when things go awry, a good leader should face the consequences. In this case, Mr. Bush violated the War Crimes Act of 1996 which implements the Geneva conventions as the law of the land.\n\n For invading a sovereign country which had no ties to the hijackers of Sept. 11th. or Al'Quaida. Iraq was a secular nation, al'quiada a religious organization. The hijackers were Saudi Arabian and Jordanian. WMD was one of the other reasons we went to war with Iraq. That theory has been disproven.\nHe broke the law. He lied to Congress and the American people. \nAs a side note, I'd like to include a quote from Ben Franklin; "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety"

The Republicans wanted to impeach Clinton for what he did...  What Bush has done ranks much higher on the reasons for impeachment

define multiprocessing,multiprogramming,multitasking, time sharing operating system,real time operating system.

In computing, an operating system (OS) is the system software responsible for the direct control and management of hardware and basic system operations. Additionally, it provides a foundation upon which to run application software such as word processing programs and web browsers.\n\nMultiprocessing is commonly known as the use of multiple processors within a single system. Forms of multiprocessing in modern systems include symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and chip multiprocessing (CMP). Multiple processors can be used within a single system to run multiple programs simultaneously or to concurrently execute multiple threads within a single program.\n\nIn computing, multiprogramming, or multitasking is a method by which multiple tasks, also known as processes, share common processing resources such as a CPU. In the case of a computer with a single CPU, only one task is said to be running at any point in time, meaning that the CPU is actively executing instructions for that task. Multitasking solves the problem by scheduling which task may be the one running at any given time, and when another waiting task gets a turn. The act of reassigning a CPU from one task to another one is called a context switch. When context switches occur frequently enough the illusion of parallelism is achieved. Even on computers with more than one CPU (called multiprocessor machines), multitasking allows many more tasks to be run than there are CPUs.\n\nTime-sharing refers to sharing a computing resource among many users by multitasking.\n\nA real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system that has been developed for real-time applications. It is typically used for embedded applications, such as mobile telephones, industrial robots, or scientific research equipment.\n\nHope that helps you out!


OT opens with "generations" of Adam (as in Adam all die)\nNT opens with "generation" of Jesus => Christ (in Christ all live).\nAll perish vs None perish?\n\nEternal salvation is "through" Jesus => Christ.\nEternal life thereof is "through" Jesus Christ.\nPeace: with God: is also "through" Jesus Christ.\n\nSo what's all this "Christ Jesus" talk about?\nIs not "Christ Jesus" reverse of "Jesus Christ"?\nIs not Destroyer allegorically reverse of Saviour?\n\nIt's not if ye be risen with "Jesus", but "Christ" in Col 3.\nBwd Stephen saw "Jesus": "standing" right in Acts.\nFwd apostle of JC: Paul says "Christ" is "seated" right.\nSo then it's please be "seated", "right"?\nSeated denotes law vs grace matter settled.

Most arguments about this question hold about the Trinity. God Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But my question is NOT about that.\n\nMy question is. The never ending battle between Satan and God. Sounds like a battle between gods to me.

IN THAT case we need to agree in as to what a god is to you. Here are the definitions of  God, and A god: \nA being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.\nThe force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.\nA being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.\nAn image of a supernatural being; an idol.\nOne that is worshiped, idealized, or followed: Money was their god.\nA very handsome man.\nA powerful ruler or despot.\n   Notice that i said God and a god, ince you mentioned christianity, then we need to talk about God, because Christianity does not praise gods, But "God" .Pay attention to the 1st definition. That is the one that applies to Chritianity, because they praise it, But they do not praise satan. Satan is just something they dont want to deal with. A god is something you worship, it is not something you detest.

I WAS TRYING TO HAVE A BABY BEFORE AND I WHEN TO THE DOCTOR, HE RUN A BIOPSY AND FIND ME FIBROIDS IN MY WOMB, I DID NOT GET PREGNANT AND I HAVE NOT COME BACK WITH THE DOCTOR FOR OVER A YEAR, NOW, LATELY I.VE BEEN FEELING PAIN IN MAY BELLY AND BETWEEN MY PERIODS, SOME TIMES I HAVE SOME KIND OF DISCHARGE, LIKE WATER MIX WITH BLOOD, IS THERE A PROBABILITY OF HAVING CANCER ON MY OVARY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DOCTOR IN THREE MORE WEEKS, AND MY PAIN IS MORE OFTEN, SHOULD I WAIT OR GO SOONER TO DO MY PAP?

Camelia, ery sory to hear you have such a problem. A few questions first: A doctor would like to know your age, how many children you have, and maybe your marital status amoung other things. Fibroids are uterine swelling of some parts of uterine muscle. The can cause pain at any time during your menstrual circle and also maybe more blood. People differ. However they can be removed depending on their size and may even later have babies.\n\nThe fear of cancer affects everyone when something unussual affects us. Try not to jumb to conclusions. Yes see your doctor. Anyway with the little infprmation you hve given, it`s a treatable fibroid and not cancer.\nSee yor doctor please before you get too many mabe cofusing answers.


If so, is it worth it?Also is it worth the health risks that go along with it.A friend of mine with small breast is thinking about the procedure.I tell her that she looks great the way she is, but shes not trying to hear that!So I want her to get the best info.on this process.

I have a friend who has had her implants for almost 10 years and only until recently has her doctor mentioned getting them done again. I really think it depends on the person and their overall health. Also, it depends on the doctor. Make sure she does extensive research on the procedure itself AND the doctor she may choose.

you never know when there is a god and when there isn't a god. i personaly believe there is a god. and don't ask if i have seen him cuz when i die that is when i will see him.

The 'god of this world', i.e. Satan, has blinded them.  \n\n2 Cor. 4:3-6:\nAnd even if our gospel is veiled, it is *veiled only to those who are perishing*. In *their case* the god of this world has *blinded* the minds of the unbelievers, to *keep them* from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The wiki is being set up using Moin Wiki on Linux.\nCan the wiki be hacked into?

Anything can get hacked into, but if they use good security practices - it probably won't.  There is practically no chance of viruses.  (most people who write viruses seek out windows users, not linux users)\n\nIf you are worried, you could always try a free online wiki (which can be made private) such as:\nhttp://pbwiki.com/\n\nKeep in mind that anything connected to the internet can be hacked into by someone who really really wants to.  If you have good security, there is very little chance of someone targeting you since they have practically nothing to gain and for the same amount of work they could get something more appealing to them such as credit card numbers.

i would like to take them for breakfast.. so i hope they can be light. other than eggs, are there other foods?

You may want to try soy protein isolate (aka isolated soy protein).  It's the cheapest protein source per gram out there next to whole soy beans (completely flavorless -- don't bother) and it's fat-free.  You can find it in the bulk food bins at Kroger or Fred Meyer for something like $7.50/lb.  A little 1/4-cup scoop is 30 grams of protein.  It's a powder that you can mix in hot water to make a creamy drink.  It will be kind of bland, so you might want to try adding different flavorings, but I'm fine with a quick creamy glass without adding anything.  Some soy protein powders aren't water-soluble, though.  In that case, you could try mixing it into food, like a stew or mashed potatoes.  I prefer a simple shake, though, so you can fix it easily whenever you want.

I'd go with:\nGeocities (It is owned by Yahoo!)\nFreewebs\nOrgsites (This might be perfect for your case!)


there is evidence of clay pots bearing dinosaur shapes, perfectly modern human footprints beside and in dino footprints, and fossilized screws and pick-axes beside dino bones in mines.

Because people don't want to believe in a God. I have yet to find a single person who can answer the question of why science can't have God. But other than that, people don't like to be wrong, evolution is a religion, and it is the popular opinion (which many people will follow, although this does not determine the truth of it). There is tons of evidence against evolution, and not too much for it. If you want some sources, www.trueorigin.org is a good one. There is also the Institute for Creation Research, which I can't remember the website of right now. If want lots of sources, email me. I have a huge list of them right now from the paper I just wrote on this topic. It's spiderlover128@yahoo.com.


I really like the quality and performance of yahoo and don't want to loose it along with about a million other people.

If you are sending spam,you got a chance to get shutting down your account.Yes ,yahoo will boot millions like you if doing spaming.And don't forget yahoo is No.1


For about 8 years my arms have been covered in thses small little bumps if I happen to scratch them, they turn red and sometimes leave scars. They don't really itch or bother me. What is this?.. just a skin condition?.. I've asked my doctor about it and he had no clue as to what it could be.

It might just be a skin condition.. or something to do with your genetics and all that... I have that same problem.. it doesn't bother me, so i don't think you should worry.. probobly just a minor non-harmful sideffect of something.. hasn't harmed me or you yet.. so it probobly wont.. don't worry that much about it.


The President has openly admitted to Spying on Americans. The law is clear. It is not a legal act.\nCongress must now do it's sworn duty in oversite and all Americans should support the "rule of law".

You must have talked to the President recently,because as far as I know he admitted of spying after the 9/11 attacks of intercepting Messages coming from foreigners that might have Terrorist connections here,that's how they found out the Brooklin Bridge was a target,On the other hand spying was done on Americans like M.L King on the orders of Robert Kennedy,spying was done by Nixon on democratic headquarters,even Clinton ordered some spying because of terrorists in this country,the only difference is that Bush did not bother to get the warrants necesary,but after 9/11, congress themselves gave him the powers to protect this country,whether congress went into specifics on how it should be done is still not known


most guys go for me cus i am a awsome mix of cultures and i hate it will any body love me for who i am?

John Quincy Adams 2nd American President ~ America, while sympathising with struggling peoples, "goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy". Should America seek out monsters, Adams continued, "the fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force ... She might become the dictatress of the world: she would no longer be the ruler of her own spirit."

That comparison is dated. Americans have never followed even the noblest of ideals championed by our for fathers when they are against money matters. The USA is now the puppet master that pulls the strings of over half of the world. It didn't start with Iraq. We've been doing it for over 200 years now. And it's good that we have been too. If we didn't grab up the oportunities someone else would. Look at history. Every country that gets its interior problems sorted out turn to imperialism, even our civilized cousins the French, the Belgians, the Swiss, all of them. Would you rather someone else held the whip?


I would like a good picture listing by name the plant, kewl and interesting facts. Typical Science Fair info

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Americans eat more than 22 pounds of Tomatoes every year. More than half this amount is eaten in the form of ketchup and Tomato sauce.\n\nThe tomato is one of the most popular and versatile vegetables on the market today. It exists in countless varieties, but the most popular and best known tomato is the beefsteak tomato. Local growers feature special varieties that grow well and are popular in their areas. Tomatoes are available year round with peak supplies and highest quality from May through frost in local areas. \n\nTomatoes should be stored with stems up at room temperature - never in the refrigerator! Choose fully ripe tomatoes if you plan to use them in a day or two. To quickly ripen them, place them in a paper bag with an apple. To peel tomatoes, drop them into boiling water for ten seconds, then core, and the peel will slip off easily. There are endless ways to eat tomatoes: raw alone or in salads, cooked in soups, stews, sauces and in America's favorite condiments, Catsup and salsa. Although tomatoes are eaten in many ways, the best way is still vine-ripe straight from the garden! \n\n\n1 raw:          24 Calories            1394 IU Vitamin A            22 mg. Vitamin C            1 g. Fiber \n\n\nThe origin of the tomato has been linked to Peru and Ecuador. \n\n\nDuring the sixteenth century, explorers brought tomatoes to Europe from the fruit's birthplace, the New World. these first tomatoes were yellow, awarding the Italian name, "pomodoro," meaning golden apple. \n\nRed tomatoes appeared later, compliments of two Jesuit priests returning from Mexico with red tomato seeds. Italians immediately accepted and included this strain of tomatoes in their cuisine. \n\nSun-dried tomatoes have a long history of use in the regional cuisine of the Mediterranean. \n\nTomatoes were originally sun-dried due to the absence of refrigeration, freezers and modern ovens. Drying tomatoes in the sun allowed for year round enjoyment of the harvest. \n\nWhen they first appeared in English print in the early seventeenth century, tomatoes were referred to as "love apples." \n\nThe 1700's marked the beginning of tomato cultivation North America. Interestingly, this occurred only in home gardens. Tomatoes were introduced to Americans by Thomas Jefferson, who brought them back from France when he served as U.S. Ambassador. \n\nDuring the nineteenth century, American cookbooks warned that tomatoes should be cooked for a minimum of three hours before eating to eliminate the raw taste. People were cautioned not to eat tomatoes raw because they were still suspected to be poisonous. \n\nOnce opened, a jar of sun-dried tomatoes can be sealed and refrigerated for up to one year. The oil congeals under refrigeration, but returns to its natural consistency at room temperature. \n\nCalifornia sun-dried tomatoes are no longer considered a gourmet food. They have moved from the specialty food aisle to the popular produce section, next to the fresh tomatoes. \n\nOven drying causes the natural sugars to caramelize. This gives the tomato a brown appearance and slightly sweet taste.


5 YEAR OLD EX RACEHORSE THAT HAS BEEN ON BOX REST FOR SIX WEEKS, VERY HIGHLY STRUNG. I NEED ADVICE ABOUT THE BEST WAY TO START TO ALLOW HER EXCERSIZE WITHOUT HER INJURING HERSELF.

I would try to hand walk her for the first few days. Then turn her out in a small round pen for a few minutes a day, then slowly increase the amount of time she is out.  Then increase the size of her turn out.\n\nIf the horse is really high strung maybe do the hand walking in the round pen, so she can not get away and hurt her or yourself.\n\nIf you can keep her in a paddock by herself, usually a horse won't do more than what is comfortable by themselves, and she will get regular movement that will make her stronger.\n\nJust make sure there are no horses in pens connected to hers, she may kick at them and cause further injury.\n\nI wish I could answer better, I do not know what your facility is like-or the horse.  There are sooo many factors to consider.  Just use your common sense.  Caring horse people usually have more of that than the regular Joe for some reason...\n\nGood luck-speedy recovery!!!


Okay, I'm going to be buying 2 x SATA1 80GB HDDs so I can stripe them...  I have a SATA1 160GB HDD with my OS and all my data on it.  Is there a way to install the other 2 HDDs, get them striped together, then put EVERYTHING (OS/apps/data/etc) from the 160 onto the 2 80GBs?


Also I can only afford 100 dolars or less a month........I am looking like T1 T2 or T3\nDialup sux I wish I could afford my own like satellite\nwhat about wireless network cards with a direct sat uplink I heard that Verizon has something like that but I dont think they provide services in Az

This was several years ago. Cox communication use to provide service to Mesa. I use to work for the in LV. We did billing for AZ. It use to be downstream cable upstream phone line. At the time they were fixing the cable plant. COX is about 50-60 dollars. They may offer cable up and down stream now you would have to check it out.\n\nVerizon has DSL and Fios. I dont know if they are offered in your area. \nSat service can do well. I would worry about solar spots in AZ since it is very hot there. Solar spots have a tendency to disrupt the sat. transmission. Either disconnecting you breifly or slowing the service a bit. It does it with internet service more than TV service. There wasnt an explanation for this.


Our annual science fair is comming up and I need to make a project. I want to know how to build a lemon battery. If you don't know how to make one, please suggest another project.

here's what you need:\n\n1.18-gauge copper wire (smaller gauge will work too,2. but 18-gauge is stiffer)\n3.Wire clippers\n4.Steel paper clip (Some people find that a 2-inch 5.strip of zinc works better) \n6.Sheet of coarse sandpaper\n7.Lemon\n8.Help from an older friend or an adult\n\n\nhere's what you need to do:\n\n\nHave your older friend or an adult strip 2 inches of insulation off the copper wire. Clip the 2 inches of bare wire with the clippers.\n\nStraighten out the paper clip and cut about 2 inches of the straightened steel wire, or use a 2-inch piece or strip of zinc.\n\nUse sandpaper to smooth any rough spots on the ends of the wire and paper clip or piece of zinc.\n\nSqueeze the lemon gently with your hands. But don't rupture the lemon's skin. Rolling it on a table with a little pressure works great. \n \nPush the pieces of the paper clip and the wire into the lemon so they are as close together as you can get them without touching.\n\nMoisten your tongue with saliva. Touch the tip of your wet tongue to the free ends of the two wires.\n\nYou should be able to feel a slight tingle on the tip of your tongue and taste something metallic.\n\n\n\nwhat you will discover\n\nThe lemon battery is called a voltaic battery, which changes chemical energy into electrical energy.\n\nThe battery is made up of two different metals (the steel paper clip and the copper wire). These are called electrodes, which are the parts of a battery where electric current enters or leaves the battery. The electrodes are placed in a liquid containing an electrolyte, which is a solution that can conduct electricity.\n\nIn a solution of water and an electrolyte, like the acid in the lemon, an excess of electrons collects on one end of the electrodes. At the same time, electrons are lost from the other electrode.\n\nTouching the electrodes to your tongue closes the circuit and allows an small electric current to flow. A single lemon produces about 7/10 of a volt of electricity. If you connected two lemons together, you can power an inexpensive digital watch (uses about 1.5 volts). (Use a length of thin, flexible wire to connect the silver wire of one lemon to the copper wire of the other lemon. Then attach thin wires from the other two wires in the lemons to where a battery's positive and negative poles connect to power the watch.)\n\nThe tingle felt in your tongue and the metallic taste is due to the movement of electrons through the saliva on your tongue.\n\n\n--well, i just searched for it. hope i helped in a way ^_^\n\n-paul


I have a neice that has a boy at the same school that she attends. She is supposed to be dating this person, but it seems to me that she's seeing him in other girls faces. One of the girl wants to fight her over this boy. This  paticular girl used to date him, and now she wants him back. My neice really likes this boy.  My question to everyone is what should she do? I have tried to talk to her and give her advice from my own experience, but you have family members that will not listen. I would like to see if everyone feels the same way i do. Help!

DEFINATELY TELL YOUR NEICE THAT SHE DOESN'T NEED TO FIGHT OVER THIS BOY.  IF HER SCHOOL OFFERS COUNSELING, THEN MAYBE YOUR NEICE AND THE JEALOUS GIRL CAN HAVE A SIT DOWN, AND WORK THROUGH THIS MIXUP.  IF YOUR NEICE CONFRONTS THIS GIRL ON HER OWN, I'M AFRAID THE GIRL MIGHT LASH OUT IN RAGE.  \nTHIS BOY MIGHT BE STILL SEEING THIS OTHER GIRL ON THE SIDE, OR HASN'T BEEN UP FRONT W/ HER.  I CAN'T SEE WHY THE GIRL WOULD WANT TO FIGHT YOUR NEICE IF THE TWO HAD BROKEN UP COMPLETELY.  TELL YOUR NEICE TO ASK THE GUY IF HIM AND THAT GIRL STILL HAVE ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP GOING.

I have a boss that is so intimidating, he makes the job difficult to do.  While he berates his employees for prospects they do not have, he inadvertently stops the process (by way of mental blockage) of looking for a prospect.  What to do with a person like this?  How to cope and how to handle?

Just keep doing your best.  The time you spend working for him will be short, but the evaluation he writes about you will follow you for your entire career.  Keep up your military bearing and do the best job you can.  Good luck!


can u truely be in-love with someone or do you really just love that person. Because love is not something you can just fall in or out of. Generally you do or you dont. So which is it?

You are in love w/ your spouse or your children.  That is a deep love that has more meaning than anything.  You love your family and your friends as family.  In love is a level that one achieves w/ his or her deepest heart, soul, and mind.  It is a love that is undying.


My brain froze and I can only remember this line "TROUBLE IS MY MIDDLE NAME"....Oh, and I've been searching on google, but I cant find it - who sings it and the title! I think its a female, kinda slower song.\nThanx

All of the songs below contain the line - trouble is my middle name - if the artist you're thinking of isn't listed - perhaps the song is a cover version of one of these...\n\nBrooks & Dunn - She's The Kind of Trouble\nBobbie Vinton - Trouble is my middle name\nBardot - Poison\nElvis Presley - Chesay\nMerle Travis - sixteen tons\nHooverphonic - Mad about you\nSkid Row - serial Joe


Yuo can't solve this.Because it is a formula and not an equation..If u assign some value equal to this formula such as 0 u have the solution.


Had this debate with a friend. Could not come up with an answer but did agree that our opinions were based on whether we thought homosexuality was acceptible or unacceptible.

Yes.  I have heard that there is a `gay` gene that determines a persons sexuality.  This is hereditary from ones mothers side.  \n\nThere has been a lot of scientific research into these genes and conclusive proof that it is hereditary.\n\nHowever, I accept that some people choose a gay lifestyle themselves even if they are `born` straight.


What was your experience? I want to visit but India is so vast and has so many appealing areas, that I wouldn't know where to begin? Any advice?

it depends on what you want to do and see.  I wouldn't say that I lived there, but I was there for 5 months.  The longest period of time i was in one place was 2 months.  Honestly i don't even know where to begin describing what it was like.  it was without a doubt a very positive, but sometimes stressful, experience.  I think that everybody should travel to india at least once.  \nI traveled only in the north, so that is the only area i can really give advice on.  For the south i heard that Kerala, Hampi, and Pondicherry were the places to see, but I couldn't tell you if that is true.  \n\nTo start with let me say that traveling in india is not as daunting as it seems.  i started out with a program, but stayed on after its end when i realized that i would be able to get around on my own.  unless you have about a year, you will probably not see everything, so don't worry about seeing everything.  You can probably get by just fine with only english, but it never hurts to know a little hindi or whatever the local language is, if only to see the shock on people's faces. lol.  The cost is very cheap, you can easily get by on $10 a day (room, board, insurance, food, and maybe transportation).  Sanitation is a big problem over there (to us!), but if you just use common sense you will be fine.  it is a very safe country for the most part, but if you are a lone female you do need to exercise some caution.  nearly every female traveller i came across had at least one complaint of minor harassment.\nthe places that i saw that i really liked and/or you have to see are \nin the north: ladakh, dharamsala, manali, kashmir are all in the mountains and are much more relaxed than the cities in the central plains, although kashmir is not so safe    in rajasthan: jodhpur without a doubt, jaipur is more popular with tourists but i didn't like it as much\nin central india: agra of course, orchha (near jhansi), varanasi (stressful, but worth it for the sights and culture shock), khajuraho (although they really go after tourists here), and delhi of course (but it can be a bit stressful if you stay there too long)\nin the east: darjeeling is a good place to chill, and i heard sikkim is amazing\nthe best advice i have, if you haven't already done it, is to get a guidebook (i used lonely planet) now and start looking at pics and reading about the places.  i really hope that you get as much out of it as i did.\nif you do have any other specific questions, you can email me if you want: jeff32224@yahoo.com\ngood luck!


Specifically, when I go to the Yahoo home page all of the options to click on are the color blue, except for the "Personals" which is purple because I have clicked on it.  How do I get it back to blue?

Try clearing your history and cookies :) Trying to hide where you been? And if that doesn't work, click on everything and turn it all purple. Anyways, by clearing cookies and stuff, it should erase that you've even been there from your computer.


I read that it forces candidates to focus on small states like Minnesota, but I personally think every vote counts.

Your partly right.  It keeps this country a Federal Republic because what happens when we vote for President we are actually voting for the electorial college. \n\nIf we didn't have the electoral college There wouldn't be any need for canidates to visit all the states.  Then it just comes down to the biggest states.\n\nThe electoral college gives the smaller states a voice in government so that the bigger states can impose their will on the whole country


What does "touche" mean and could you use it in a sentence?  Is this one of those french words that people use to just show off?

1. Do you really think the indians are trading coco for a 2nd-string 3b and a relief P from the red sox?\n2. If so, why?

I believe that the Indians will trade Crisp to the Red Sox.\n\nMy Crystal ball tells me that the Indians will deal outfielder Crisp, right-handed reliever David Riske and backup catcher Josh Bard to the Red Sox. Cleveland will receive reliever Guillermo Mota, third-base prospect Andy Marte, young catcher Kelly Shoppach, $1 million and a player to be named.\n\nMy Crystal ball seems to work best on things that have happened already BTW

Because Im planning to buy a new cellphone and Im confused which one am i going to buy???

I used to work for a cell phone company.Nokias rarely have any issues, or complaints. Ericsons did. People who own Nokias will only buy Nokias. They are almost indestructable. Ericsons menus are also a lot harder to learn. Nokias menus are standard and almost the same in every model. It also depends on what you want to use it for and your price range. They are both good phones.


Y I'm getting negative points in Yahoo answers, while I'm posting a question?

You get 2 points deducted when you ask a question, then you can get the points back by choosing a "best answer".\n\nThey are trying to encourage people to come back, check the answers they have received, and choose a "best answer"; this will make the system more fair, especially in those cases where someone asks a question and someone else posts an answer that's so good, no one else bothers to answer.  The "answers" will not be put to a vote, because there is only one answer, so the person who posted the great answer gets only 2 points, not the total of 12 points that he or she is entitled to.


what's the most Correct way\nor FORMAL way to ask ppl\nabout the degree of \ntheir near-sightedness?\nand how to answer the same way??\n\nThx a lot....

You could just ask them like you would ask anything else.For ex: What is your eye perscription?People have asked me this before and I have never been offended.I know that I'am legally blind with out contacts or glasses.People I realize are just curious,If you are trying to tell someone what your eye perscription is you would say ex:20/40 That means what most people can see at 20 ft, you think is 40ft away causing it to be out of focus and so on.Once you get passed a certian number they don't really use those terms .They just tell you you're legally blind w/o contacts or glasses.  You have exstremely bad eye sight  and can't drive or work or do much of anything without these.Hope this helps you:)


I think religion has become a killing machine, killing people, killing freedom, killing thoughts, killing new ideas, \n\nDont you think its time to think of a 'ONE WORLD' Future?

By the time I read all of the answers I realized that my thoughts had pretty much been covered. So kudos to all above me!\n\nBut I do want to emphasize what Snehal has proposed. One world........no religions. I agree with the answer that said that religions have basic similarities but that man has chosen to use their religion inappropriately. Wars have been fought merely over "interpretations." People have died for believing differently. Lives have been controlled because of those reading religion as a misinterpreted call for power. People are told what to think and what not to think and are condemned for differing opinions. \n\nI'm sure right now someone reading this is shaking their head thinking, "She has no clue what she is talking about." If it would stop with that, all would be fine. We are all entitled to have our own opinions. It is when someone will write me slamming me for my beliefs and finding  a way to avenge my thoughts by blasting me somewhere that we realize this is symbolic of our world's problems. It's not just because of religion of course. Religion is the scapegoat. Man can blame his judgements of others on the fact that they belong to "the wrong" religion. If we didn't have religions..........we would all have to face what we really are without the use of the scapegoat. \n\nGod? Well I believe we have a higher order. Does he want religions killing and disagreeing? *cough* Think about what He would write if he answered this question. :)

In recent years I have been hearing the latest runors that they have uncovered evidence that may show that Christ had a woman in his life and had children. This floored me!\nSo, any truth to these acusations and where would I find it out at?

Yeah, it's the DaVinci Code. Dan Brown, the author, uses just enough truth mixed in with his fiction to make what he says believable. Most people don't know enough about the Bible to know that what he's saying is false, and so they accept it because he's a good writer.

The pop-ups where still there, so I went back into my control panel, and add/remove programs, and TRIED to remove the 'GAIN' program.  It tells me I must remove the 'Aquatica' program I already removed.  Am I now stuck with these annoying pop-ups or is there a way to remove this from my computer?

There is no registry kept by the DOT. The DOT has regulations for who is a qualified SAP, but they do not actually certify SAPs. If you want to do services for DOT use then you have to provide evidence to the employers that use you that you meet the DOT guidelines.\n\nHere are the DOT professional standards:\nhttp://transit-safety.volpe.dot.gov/Publications/substance/SAGuideLines/HTML/SAPGuide.htm\n\nHope this helps.


Ron Artest asked to be traded from the Indiana Pacers a few months ago and then they FINALLY get a team to take him and he doesn't want to play for them.  In his defense he did say if thetrade goes through he will show up to play for Sacramento but he wouldn't like it.

I think he needs to look in the mirror and take the T.O. face paint off.  I wasn't sure about this trade to begin with to be honest, but Artest shouldn't be.  He should want to play.


Do you think the movie theaters make enough money from popcorn and drinks. as well as the 12 minutes of ads they force you to see

I think the movie industry needs to make up there mind and either charge 10.00 a ticket, or make us watch ads. it makes me mad to pay so much and then have to sit through 10 ads.


we are in hampton va. he is stationed at fort eustis, his schooling is mon.-fri. from 5am-5pm, he can't take time off from schooling, he has sat.-sun. off. If both of us can't be present how can we get a marriag license?

Have him talk to his First Sgt.  He can grant him the time off to get the license.  Trust me, this can and has been done numerous times.  Just make sure you send him an invite to the wedding after that.


Specifically, are you constructed by an alien as a test?? Could they have emplanted religion in your brain through what you percieve as parents to study emotion, dna, disease? Are you basically in the Truman show and the matrix at the same time.

Yes, it gets as close as possible. \nGo to amazon.com and buy a book called "Chariots of God" \nNext, to know more on Hindu philosophy, go to blog of Harshad Joshi at agneya2.blogspot.com to know about Hinduism. It contains mysterious hymns from ancient Indian culture.


Here are some comparisons from Kelkoo:\n\nhttp://shopping.yahoo.co.uk/b/a/ssc_100164013_set_top_box.html


If he does, In which language??\nProofs needed.

I hope these questions are helping you on a path to the truth.\n\nGod is omipotent - all powerful - so He can speak in any language.  When I pray to the Lord, He answers me in my native tongue.  \n\nWhy do you need proof?  Just try praying to God (don't forget God can read your heart when you're praying so don't mock Him) and see what happens.


i will be a tranfer student entering my junior year and am from the san francico area

What you can do is go to USCs counseling center, they should have some scholarships for you. If you want to put some time into it then go on the internet and go to fastweb.com, they will ask you questions about your majores and what not, no personal info. Then they will give you scholarships that they feel is right for you. Also they will show you some internships that you might be interested in.


i homeschool our 10 year old son. i would like to use the BIble as much as i can for school.

You can use it to teach history and science by looking at it's background as a significant literary text.  Linguistics, archaeology, world history; all of these can use the bible as a real object to build lessons around.  Treat it as an artifact, look at it from different perspectives in time and how it has impacted the cultures who wrote it, those it was introduced to, and those who uncovered it and translated it.  For a 10 year old boy, an Indian Jones type expedition through time would be a hoot.


Most larger employers preach diversity and many of them have programs in place designed to attract, hire and employ people of various ethnicities, nationalities, races, genders, ages, socioeconomic status, sexual orientations, and physical capabilities.  Their diversity statements commonly mention that they beleive that there is tremendous value in the free exchange of new ideas and approaches that can come from employing qualified people whose lives and experiences differ from those of the workers they have "traditionally" employed.  My experience, however, has been that once hired, diverse workers are expected not to make waves and do things exactly the way they were done in the past.  Different views are shunned and different approaches are punished.  Rarely have I seen an eclectic and integrative approach taken by these employers.  So although diverse workers have better access to "good" jobs than before, it seems their diversity, once beneficial is now detrimental. Your thoughts?

What you are describing is just another example of the hypocrisy that is eroding our country from the inside out! It’s not a corporate America issue, but an American culture issue.  \n\nPeople, organizations , and politicians all pay lip service to social issues, but the proof is always in the pudding (we are a country the pays movie stars millions of dollars a film, and teacher barely a living rage) We are living in truly scary times. The gap between the rich and poor is increasing at an alarming rate, and the middle class is disappearing. Our government has undermined the middle class making it easier for American corporations to export jobs overseas.  Banks have extended middle class credit to the point that most Americans are drowning in debt. Inflation is out of control (30 years ago you could by a house for 20,000, a new car for 2,000 and raise a family on 1 income, now the median new house is 150,000, car is 25,000 and you can barely make ends meet with two incomes and an annual household salary over 50,000 a year).   The media has convinced the public that happiness is something external, outside of themselves, and that they can buy on E-bay, Pharmaceutical companies have convinced Americans that they are all sick and need a pill feel “normal”, and it is so ingrained that we are the only western civilization in the world that drugs it’s children for behavior problems (ADHD) and then talks out of the other side of our ass about how”drugs are bad”. We a country that believes we have so much choice & variety, but in reality the media, and most consumer products are all one company going under divert subsidiaries or divisions(Taco Bell, KFC, Pepsi, Frito Lay, it is all the same company, the same thing with your newspaper & Network and  cable news).  \n\nI am a professional master’s level social worker with over 10 years working in the non profit mental health industry who totally believed in all the American propaganda until I got a real wake up call.  For starters I  found myself making less money then I did as a high school drop out in Hawaii 15 years ago working as a travel agent . I was also unable to afford health insurance at my job with a community mental health agency because the premium for my family was almost 600.00 a month. I was over 150,000 dollars in debt on student loans I used to get my master’s degree, and we carried over 200,00 in additional personal debt and ended up having to file bankruptcy . My child was receiving a substandard education because we lived in Florida which is focused on testing kids constantly, but neglects to teach them any real critical thinking skills. Also I worked with troubled kids, and was just horrified by all of the social pressures, and cultural messages, and just the loss of innocence that the kids were be confronted with at earlier and earlier ages. I made a radical decision, and left the USA to raise my child overseas where our family could be part of a global community. I have not regretted the decision, but it really breaks my heart that things have gotten so bad in the US. I am glad that you are cautiously optimistic, I am an optimist too, and I have not given up on the US, I just really feel that it was a toxic environment to raise my child in.\n\n If you want to talk more about this kind of stuff you can contact me via my yahoo 360 page, by the way your baby is adorable!! I will put my yahoo link below if you want to talk more about stuff like this. I noticed that some of your questions seem to be going unanswered. These are big questions, with no easy answers, but I think communicating about them is definitely a step in the right direction!


i m havin a project that has to be done on Digital Img processing. wat are the packages that i should make use of to implement it ..

Hi\n\nI'm sure that the other response are good but you need to know that Java has a profesional API used for image processing. This is Java Advanced Imaging API. "The Java Advanced Imaging API is intended to meet the needs of technical (medical, seismological, remote sensing, etc.) as well as commercial imaging (such as document production and photography). The API can benefit all Java developers who want to incorporate imaging into their Java applets and applications."\n\nYOu can also use some open source Libraries, such as JIU.\n\nSee the links below.\n\nI hope this helps,\nCipri


What is the ACLU and what is their mission /or goal?

american civil liberties union\n\nThe American Civil Liberties Union has been defending liberty in Americafor more than 85 years. From the internment of some 110,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II to the abusive domestic spying, blackmail and harassment by the FBI during the McCarthy era, the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, the ACLU has successfully defended the basic rights and freedoms of everyone across America when they were at their most vulnerable.\n\nBut we’ve never been needed more than today. For the past four years, some of the most powerful politicians in America have made it their mission to accumulate unchecked government power, relentlessly undermining civil liberties. In unprecedented ways, they are invading our privacy, undermining our Constitution and squelching dissent. All too frequently, they are shamelessly using the “war on terror” as cover for their assault.\n\nTime and again, the ACLU and its members have shown that we can be successful in defending freedom even in the current inhospitable climate. We have built bipartisan congressional support for eliminating certain unwarranted, dangerous provisions of the Patriot Act, and we have inspired a resounding chorus of diverse voices, individuals and community groups all across the country, calling for measures to reverse the government’s unjustified overreaching and to restore our precious freedoms.We have challenged the Patriot Act in court and won. We have squelched numerous government programs designed to spy on Americans. We have won legal victories curtailing executive power. We have defeated the first-ever federal abortion ban in court.


The Stock screen that I would like built uses crossover points of indicators that I have found to produce exect buy and sell points for any stock.\nThe only charting software that will show what I am talking about is Ameritrade's Advanced Analyzer, it allowes you to stack or overlay indicators in one vain producing patterns that work

You will need a programmer. Find message boards and Usenet groups that are frequented by programmers or hire someone to do it for you. Or, use a service like elance.com and find someone that way. \n\nGood luck!


You walk on the road and come to a way forking, do you go on the right of or left? Explain me wy.

I am feeling the right. It's just what first came to my mind. I am right handed and believe I use that side of my brain more.\n\nIf it was a path less traveled by I would consider it, but have to admit I've had my trusting nature violated once too often and might be leery of walking somewhere fewer people were. Still if I could feel just nature ahead of me, and my intuition said it was worth it, I'd enjoy going where few had before.


No one who answered you was right.  Alcoholism is a disease and it can be passed down genetically.  Just let your child know at a suitable age of their tendency towards the disease so they are aware of it before drinking.

alcoholism runs in the family. My father was an alcoholic and so was his father. I was mentally affected because I didn't understand his behaviors while he was drunk. Dr. Jeckyl was probably an alcoholic. My father was a crying drunk who felt sorry for himself and cried tears in his beers. I am always careful when it comes to drugs and drinking because I live with the fear of knowing that I could probably slide into alcoholism without much effort.


He has been doing it for like 6 months and it's really starting to get bad and he's even talking about suicide.  I am really scared for him.  And I really need some help.

I used to be a cutter.  I would do it becuase I would have so much emotional pain, cutting myself would hurt physically so it would take my mind of my emotional problems, instead I could focus on the physical pain.  \n\nI stopped becuase I went to a psychiatrist and got medication for depression.  That helped A LOT!!!\n\nAs far as what to say to your friend... my friends never knew what to say to me (my best friend talks about it with me a lot now that I don't do it anymore).  I actually scared them a lot.  Maybe just let your friend know that it scares you when they hurt themselves.  Then try to get them to go get help for it.  You can talk about the underlying issues, but if they are at the point of cutting then unfortunately they most likely need professional help.  That is a sign of a psychological disorder.\n\nAt work I have seen several kids that do this.  They give reasons for doing it anywhere from my reason to wanting to see what it would do, to wanting to kill themselves and just "hoping i would cut deep enough".  \n\nSo like i said, talk to your friend.  Try to find the underlying issue, and get them help.  Be there for them.  Good luck.

This was a question that the late Lenny Bruce used in one of his observations for one of his routines.


ok the past two weeks I am having a hard time deciding when is enough in my relationship. I need your advice peoples.\n \nAbout a month ago she lied to me about something i told her not to do which was to drink this certain night after i over heard the phone call with one of her friends that "she brought the stuff" ok first off she was staying where this stuff is and i guess there were guys there.she told me she wouldnt. She says she didnt drink the next day and i drop it. then a month later the cops where going to get involve then she final told me. I was pissed wouldnt you be. we had a big fight about lieing and i couldnt trust her but i loved her. We BOTH AGREED ON THAT SHE WOULDNT SEE or HANG OUT WITH HER FRIENDS UNTIL MARCH 1.\n\nWell i was going home today i see her with her friends i called her and she said she was going out to eat with her friends. She lied to me again. When is enough, enough, my past girls have lied cheated on me and im sick of it.  What would be your advice?

It would help some to know how old you are first.  I will assume that all parties of of legal age (21)since it is not otherwise stated.\nDoes your girl have a drinking problem?  If not it is pretty unreasonable for you to ask her not to drink.  What right do you have?   If she does have a drinking problem, asking her not to drink will not make her not drink.  \n\nAlso, asking anyone not to hang out with their friends is not reasonable what right do you have to tell her who she can and cannot hang out with?  \n\nYou are correct though, she shouldn't have agreed to what you asked, as you are overstepping your bounds as a boyfriend.  \n\nYou ask her to do things that are not reasonable, then you get mad when she doesn't do them.  You don't trust her to start with, then you ask her to keep promises that you know she won't and you then in turn trust her even less.  You are making yourself miserable, you either need to learn what you limits are as a boyfriend (what you can ask another person to do/not do) or you need to get out of this relationship.   \n\nHow would you feel if she asked you to do the same things that you ask of her?  Would you feel it was fair?  You might feel that you are trying to look out for her best interest, but it sounds like it might be coming across as overbearing.\n\n*UPDATED*  I can't solve your problem.  Relationships are hard and yet simple, either you and the other person are happy, or you aren't.  If you both aren't happy, and you've tried to make it better and you still aren't happy, then what's the point of continuing?  You can not change a persons behavior and although, you may want to look out for her and vice versa you can not make her do something she doesn't want to.  Just like she can't make you do something you don't want to do.  You only do it because you want to, you want to please her and make her happy.  It's a two way street, you can give her your opinion and your advice, but you can't make her do anything. If you are happy with her behavior then stay, if not leave; she is going to be who she is, if you don't like that then maybe you don't really like her, but you like who you can turn her into; which again isn't really her.  Regardless, you either stay or leave it is your choice, but know who she is as a person and know that you can only advise and nothing more then that.  *********************\n2-1-06\nIt's sad, she needs to learn to love herself.  She has to learn to do that on her own, sadly; you cannot teach her that.  That's all I have to say about this, and I mean it this time.


do some monitors need a driver/software downloaded? my computer wont work with one my friend just gave me? It turns on for a few then starts flashing and turns my computer off.

I think so. My monitor came with a CD that I had to run for it to work.

Does anyone have any good 8th grade science project ideas?


My wife has smoked for over 10 years.  I really want her to stop because I believe it's the cause of a lot of her health problems (her nose is constantly stopped up, she has bad allergies, she's always tired, her sex drive is NOT good at all, etc...).  I love her very much but I don't want to lose her to cancer or even worse, live WITH her if she gets emphaszima (is that how you spell it?).  I've smoked for 3 years but I can honestly quit any time I want to (I quit for 4 months so I could lose weigh so quitting is NOT an issue for me...and I'm being 100% truthful).  Every time I mention it she gets upset.  She says she'll quit when our lives have less stress.  But that's never going to happen because life is always going to be stressful.  What do I do?

Come on, man, the answer is obvious. You both need to quit.


She wants to get married in Salt Lake City in the temple.We live 3 states away and are not allowed to attend the ceramony. He has family in salt lake so its all good for them. But to add to it mom and dad are not nicely divorced So that makes 4 parents on her side.I want to (step-mom) have a reception up here. She wants us ALL to travel to salt lake to be there. Aside from being uncomfortable as we aren't morman we arent even allowed to go.Is this reasonable to $$$$ so much for nothing? Is there something else we can do? We want to support her, I know she wants her family there. But just to go sit in a motel room, for the whole thing seems pretty silly and sort of insulting too. HELP!

this sometimes happens even in Mormon families, frequently we hold two receptions, so suggest that they have one in Salt Lake with his family and one where you live that is smaller and more private but still celebrates your sharing their joy


I have a 0 % credit card with a large balance, the % will go up in 1 year. I got an offer to lock in a credit card rate of 3% for the life I have the transfer balnacee (until paid off)\n\nI think rates are gonna go up and I know i wont payoff the card before 0% goes away.\n\nWhat are peoples thoughts on what is best. To stay with 0 or lock in with 3%


Think of it. Jesus dies for your sin. If your sins are paid for, why worry? If not, then Jesus is being a loan shark wanting your repentance, your love and your soul in exchange??

People believe this because the Christian religion tells them it's true.  Also, it's convenient to have someone take the rap for your mistakes.


If you have a ISP account, you can download those emails to your ISP account.


And just know that you are really annoyed with them, so you don't have to freak out at them and look like a jerk??

If you are waiting for someone to read your mind, you'll be waiting for awhile.  If someone is irritating you, just tell them without being a totall a$$-hole.


I am considering returning to a job I quit to return to college 6 months ago.I have been seeking employment but no company pays as well as my former employer. I am going to write a letter to my former boss, but she was not happy when I left. I am still attending college but only part time evenings.I left on good terms, gave 2 weeks notice, etc. Any suggestions as to what I should say in the letter?

You should just be very honest. Tell her that it was a wonderful job and that you would love to be back on board.


I loved him and i love him. Really wanted to talk with him.He should't die.

He helped revolutionize the music of our generation. I was/am still a big Nirvana fan-I have been ever since Bleach. He was the person who gave a voice to Generation X. He was an average person like you or your friends and had the same issues, but he could put it all into powerful words which made him extraordinary. His music was great, but wouldn't have been so good if he hadn't been so 'tortured' feeling. If he wouldn't have felt that way the music wouldn't have been so poignant, he wouldn't have committed suicide and would still be alive today. Anyone who commits suicide is just a coward! There's always another way. \n\nStill, almost 12 years later, I have my backpack with the RIP Kurt patch on it.


You have to give a little more detail. Some are too shy to come out openly and ask.\nHay, if you want to go out with him you could come out and ask him if he is asking you out.Honesty is the best way to live. You could just ask him out.\nGood luck


i see him every day at dance and im not sure how to dump him.....help please

Just politely tell him it's not working for you and let him know that it's over.  Don't be too critical as it's going to hurt bad enough for him.


I am looking for technical information on the following... \n \nConversion of Diesel Engine to CNG... Type of kits that make it possible.... Technical information on how a Diesel engine can work on CNG, performance, cost etc \nFunctioning of a CNG Conversion Kit.. CNG quality & performance issues, petrol vs CNG as fuel \n Effect of CNG on car engines.. Lower RPM's, Less power, engine load, lubrication and early wear out? \nMixing ethanol in petrol... Change in chemical nature of petrol and its properties.. what ethanol achieves through mixing ... Good points/bad points, effect on the quality and energy output of petrol  etc

Ethanol is bad and creates many nasty acids that wear away the journal bearing babbits, etc.  Many materials cannot stand up to the increase acidity present when burning higher percentages of ethanol. (Boy i hope i don't mean methanol instead of ethanol.  You might want to double check me there!)\n\nCNG can ONLY be used on SUPERCHARGED diesel engines.  To date, there are no SUPERCHARGED automotive diesel engines made.  The only way to get CNG into a diesel engine is to use very large superchargers which run mechanically off the crankshaft to ensure enough air-fuel mixture gets into the engine.  See Waukesha for stationary CNG products.  Traditionally, many diesel/CNG power plants run on CNG most of the time to save $.  \n\nCNG is GREAT for normally aspirated automotive spark-ignition engines.  It may produce less peak power, but the cylinder wear is REDUCED, oil contamination REDUCED--the engine runs SO MUCH CLEANER it is unbelievable.  Combustion chambers remain spotless and spark plugs stay clean.  CNG evaporators need a heat source, so in cold climates you may have to have a preheater.\n\nYou may be able to increase compression ratio when building up an automotive conversion--but don't overdo it.  I know plenty of CNG trucks that end up blowing a head gasket because people have a lead foot.  You could probably run a 9.0.  The best engines to use are V-8 carbureted truck engines.  \n\nTotal fleets of frozen food delivery trucks have been converted to CNG--but none has a diesel engine--they are all gasoline type engines.  So they do use them in trucks.  \n\nCNG will run out fast in your automotive application.  CNG must be stored in a gas phase, which means by the cubic foot.  It is not practical usually to build CNG storage into a car, and check with your Dept. of Transportation on explosion hazards--it may be illegal in some cases to carry so much cubic feet of explosive gas on a car or in a non-rated tank.  The heating value, i.e. energy per cubic foot of fuel is far less than gasoline, and less than propane. \n\nThe most practical conversions for cars are propane kits.  They are very simple: pressure regulator, evaporator, and some kind of throttle linkage.  You will get a few more miles per bottle of propane than CNG.  Both propane and CNG keep engines spotlessly clean.  Be sure to start with a clean engine and be sure that the valves have valve seats in the heads.  Exhaust gases can run the valves a bit hotter than when burning gasoline because of unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust--if your air-fuel ratio is right, you will never have that problem with CNG or LPG.


I have a PSP and it makes me mad because i have dial-up and i cant use infrastructure mode (connecting to a hotspot or wireless router). So im wondering if i can conect using a wireless router and doesnt the router already bring up the hotspots like the library starbucks etc.? I have dial-up so will i have to connect the wireless router to my comp. or is there routers that dont need connection to the comp and just bring in waves of hotspot signals to you? If not is there another option, and if so what wireless routers do u prefer or a site i can go to look @ routers like this. I really need a good thorow and logical answer because ive been wondering this for so long !!!!?? THX.

No, that's not what a router does.\n\nA wireless router will provide a local point of access, to let your machines connect to *your* connection...  in other words, it still has to be connected to your internet service, it won't simply "bring in waves of hotspot signals", so they're not going to get your a free connection.\nMost WiFi hotpots have a very limited range, just a few hudred feet - and that's intentional.  Even if you were lucky enough to live right next door to a hotspot, and be within range, most of them require you to be a subscriber. (Yes, there are free hotspots around, but most want you to pay for the service)\n\nYou mention that you use dialup...  be aware that setting up a wireless router to support dialup can be a pain, and not all makes/models will do so.   Check the specs carefully first, you'll need one with a serial/modem port...  usually an older model or a high-end router that uses dialup as a backup, "fail-over" mode


y, y does god love me, ive been following him, and living for him and hes letting my days get worse and worse, qt church service was about how god cares and u need to follow him, well i've been following and waiting for a year for god to give me a sign or anything that someone caresa about me, or have someone come along and care and make my life better ive been praying, y is it getting worse it get worse and worse no matter wat i do, plz help me i dont know what to do, i found out my freinds hate me, they only talk to me because they feel sorry for me , i dont do anything im the nice sweeet kind of guy, i feel really bad peole are laughing at school because my freinds said some thing VERY mean in front of everyone in a big class about me that wasnt true, and i dont know what to do no one cares about me, my paretns dont either, wat do i do, god isnt helping me like he should!!! and im thinking about turning away from him PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP!

Have you ever read about Job.  He went through many many many trials and he still prevailed.  I know life can be rough at times and unfortunatly you will continue to go through hard times, they really never end.  But remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  Turning away from your faith would be the wrong thing to do.  It's not that God isn't listening or answering your prayers.  He does listen and he will answer them.  God loves you very much, even when no one else seems to.  You should try talking to your preacher or someone in your church that you can trust. Tell them how you are feeling.  I suggest getting a prayer partner, someone who will help you pray for your needs.  Try smiling as much as you can today.  That will make you feel better too.  Good luck and God bless.


detailed information on advanced calculus

Calculus on Manifolds \nMichael Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds: A Modern Approach to Classical Theorems of Advanced Calculus (1965) is a text treating analysis in several variables in Euclidean spaces and on differentiable manifolds. Notable features include a long problem entitled "A First Course in Complex Analysis" and the book's cover, a reproduction of Lord Kelvin's letter to Stokes in which Stokes's theorem is first stated.


if ya what song do you like best if no why the hell not vai is the best

Nobody can compare to Steve Vai, except maybe his teacher Joe Satriani.  \n\nAnyone who hasn't checked out 'For the Love of God' then you really can't venture an opinion -- my opinion this is a true masterpiece.


In movies it shows that it was an apple but it does not say in the Bible that it was an apple.

The Hebrew word "tap·pu´ach" which is usually translated to English as translated “apple,” appears a number of times in the Bible but it does not appear in the account of Adam, Eve, and the tree of good and bad.   The idea of an apple probably came from Medieval and Renaissance artists who painted apples in Garden of Eden scenes.  Some of these artists include Peter Paul Ruben and German court painter Lucas Cranach the Elder.  John Milton was probably the first person to put the idea into writing in Paradise Lost.  \n\nSo, what was the fruit.  It does not say in the Bible.  God probably didn't feel this detail was important when he inspired Moses to write down the account.


what do you get out of it? \n\nThe law :"IF anything can go wrong , It will"

If you can provide any links that might help me be able to research. This is my topic for science fair and i am having a difficult time.

This science project, linked below, hypothesized that Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash would kill the most alpha streptococcus. \n\nThey based that hypothesis on what Marie Clark, Microbiologist at Memorial Hospital, said: "Listerene as an antiseptic should be the best at inhibiting alpha streptococcus."  They also based it on the fact that it was approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).


hello everyone, what is the main facial feature that you like about a guy/gal??  eyes, nose, mouth, ears?  do you have any fetishes or fixations to the facial features? in a guy or gal??  do certain facial features have to exact for you to be attracted to a man/women?

I have to agree with Pinky. The eyes seem to just draw me in. Yeah yeah yeah, I've heard the whole "window to your soul" bit. And I know that sounds so cheesie....but at the same time I can understand it. If I look in someone's eyes as they tell me something, I can feel the sincerity. It makes all the difference in the world to me. \n\nAlso, a squint, a wink, a stunning surprised look.......they all say so much about the person behind the eyes. They are so expressive! Words don't even have to come from their mouth.....the eyes can say it all. I think that is why I have a hard time connecting with people on line sometimes, because I can't see their eyes to know it's all ok. And I think I relate better to people that would rather have me read their eyes than require their words. The eyes tell all.\n\nDo they need to fit an exact description for me to be attracted to them? Not at all. Blue eyes seem to see beyond....brown eyes seem to have depth.......and green eyes seem ready to flare at any minute. Hazel eyes seem so down to earth. I just love eyes! :)


i am going to the Ankara university in turkey,Math department and second class

Well you should work VERY hard on your English. The TOEFL exam is a beast, and you have to pass that. Most Americans would have trouble passing the TOEFL exam. \n\nThen you have to do EXTREMELY well in your math classes. And you either have to have a HUGE amount of money, or have done something so outstanding that you will stand out among the other applicants. \n\nAlso, given the current political climate, it might help to not be Muslim. Sorry, but that is how things are going at the moment...


People talk about the USSR with disgust. I want to know why? It was just another country with nukes.

There is no USSR. Are you referring to Russia?


I have windows 98 and only 68 mb of memory. I can't get the messenger with voice to download it says that there is not enough memory. I was told if I get an older version then it will downloads. Anyone with any ideas please help. I can't talk to any of my friends when I am online. Thanks.

That's like the only one I know, (I think you should delete some stuff from your computer becase you are going to probably need it when the time goes on)
