every time i apply for a job they check my creditn report and they see thaqt there is chapter 11 on there.i'm not disputing anything,i can't get a good job.the only thing i want to do is work.what can i do without going to jail? making sure that everything is legal?

Was the chapter eleven filed by your husband before or after you were married? If it was before you were married you may be able to have that noted on your credit report. Having said that, more and more companies are paying attention to credit reports as a way to thin out persons who may not be able to be responsible with money management. This does not mean that this is you. But you do need to understand that the type of jobs you keep applying for may fit this profile.  Try looking into government positions. Most do only a background and not a finacial report (which does not say much for the government). Do look at your own credit report. If it is poor, than find a way to build good credit for yourself and encourage your spouse to do the same. Financial counseling is a good start to overcome your distress.  Good luck!


the Japanese did but that is all I know about it


know how to get expressions for the OLD aim. not the triton but OLD aim?

when u click on somone's sn to im them, on the bottom there is a button that says expressions, click on it.


For example, say a player hits a home run with two men on in the first. The game is called in the third because of rain. Does that player still get credit for the RBI's, or are they negated?

They are negated, a game and it's accompaning stats are not official until after the fifth inning.\nI hope that helps.


Most people deny it. Some people believe it. Your Opinion?

Come on, how many 'natural' disasters were there this year?  You think they've all happened in the US and middle east by coincidence?  Its meteorologic warfare and its a top secret program lead by the CIA.  You may have missed the fact that the entire garrisoned 82nd airborne special operations division was deployed to keep martial law during Katrina as part of a coverup.  Its a global conspiracy but the government won't let you know about it.  They tested the weapons in our own waters first but it backfired, come on man, can't you see?  Its obvious, george bush, and cia, martial law, black helicopters global meteorologic catastrophe's.  And this is just the beginning.  What they really want is global control.  The government now has the ability to declare war on its own citizens, using these weather weapons.  Its all part of the plot to keep the citizens poor so the ruling class can stay in power.  The same conspiracy has been going on since the US was founded, but only now do we have the technology.  Think about it, never ending war in the middle east keeping us in a state of fear, natural disasters across the globe to keep us poor, illegal wire taps to keep us in check, and all of it to keep us dependant on the government and focused on our economic situation.  Its probably the end of days, and the masons, and illuminati, the anti-christ, its all here man!  The same people who got kennedy assasinated, secret weapons contracts, and where do you think the technology came from?  Its been hidden since roswell in the 50's and just now we figured out how to use it.  The aliens have been here, and all of it is part of the coverup.  I'm telling you man and don't think you're safe after reading this.  The CIA already has me bugged I know, they're monitoring my emails.  THey're all out to get me man.


you may have heard of carrot and stick tactics. well, wich is more motivating? \n And wich is a more essential human characteristic?\nalso.. \nwich do you think came first?\nare they limited to humans?

I personally think fear rules all negative emotions.  you are greedy out of fear of having nothing.  You are jealous out of fear of losing.  You are hating something out of fear of not knowing the truth or the other side.  You are judgemental out of fear of accepting.  You are anxious out of fear, and we have to learn to look with love instead of fear to follow the proper path and achieve what we dream.


our rules currently state:\ncribbage, dominoes and sholve halfpenny can be played for a maximum of 10p. what else can be played and for what?

Generally, the laws change when money becomes involved. For example, it may be perfectly legal to play poker for M&Ms while requiring license to play for cash. \n\nCheck your local county and state laws for the definition of "gambling" and ask whatever department issues the license (or ask an attorney) what is and is not allowed under that license, versus does not require a license.\n\nAll of this, of course, is completely unrelated to what your local club rules allow. A private organization can allow anything that is legal, or restrict things even further. If you club decides that it won't allow use of dice at it's meetings, that's up to your club.


I am an old school fan! From the late 70 til 80's. That was real music that is becoming a classic. I have an inblanace of either knowing the artist or the song title which is frustrating when trying to create the ulitmate party music playlist. Help me to figure out the following:\n1. Song "A-E-I-O-U" sounds like they came out during the mid 80's\n2. Nasty Rock - sounds like old school break/hip hop Thought it was Planet Control, not so.\n3. The Beat Goes On (not the Whispers, not Atlantic or Midnight Starr)\n4. Dim Dada - who sings this (I really do not know the original title to this... But it sounds like dim-da-da, dim-doo-d00, brrrratttt, brattt, sounds like reggae blended with african rap in a bee-bop twist)\n5. Herbie Hancock-- please send some of his earlier titles that were composed when Axle Foley theme was created\n6. Enjoy Yourself for Me--Do not know the artist

As to point 5, Herbire Hancock did not make Axel F; that was made by an artist called Harold Faltermeyer.\n\nThe Herbie Hancock album that contains "Rockit" is called "Future Shock."  After "Future Shock" he had 2 albums called "Sound System" and "Perfect Machine" that have the same electronic fusion sound.  Also, he had an early experimental electronic fusion album in 1973 called "Head Hunters."  Very different from the 80s albums, but a very interesting precursor to his more well known records.


If any living thing evolved, why should it die? Why has evolution allowed all living things to be vulnerable to any affliction which does harm to it's existance? Seems we have such an extremely complex biological system provided by some design but living things continue to die.

We die because we sexually reproduce: if we did not die then we would die from overpopulation and overcompetition. If we did not sexually reproduce, then there would be no variation, and thus evolution could not occur and we would all die out if environmental conditions.\n\nWe age because time passes. We senesce (that is, become old) because our body becomes less capable of maintaining homeostasis.\n\nWe are not immune to viruses because they constantly change all the time. There are hundreds of strains of the cold virus because they are evolving all the time as well. Sickness is an immune response to a pathogen in an attempt to get it out of the system. If we did not get "sick" (high fever, etc.), the virus would proliferate in our system and we would eventually die anyway.\n\nHope that helped a little.

Is it me who's weird because I feel that if my partner checks up on me (has access to email and checks it constantly, logs into cell phone web page to check who I've called recently, etc.) he doesn't trust me?

No they do not.\n\nYour man is a controlling freak who does not trust you. You should leave him.


some optionals answers are y=-3x+ 1 ; y= -3x+2; y=-3x+1; y=-3x+17

Use y = mx + b to find your equation.  m is -3, and you have an x and a y, so you can find b...\n\ny = mx + b\n5 = -3*2 + b\n5 = -6 + b\nb = 11\n\nSo your equation would be y = -3x + 11 (not listed in your answers - you may want to double check that).


I get Hermida and Estes, he gets Loriano and C. Patterson.\nI worry about Loriano but need help in OF.

Jump on this trade ASAP. Corey Patterson is a dog; look at his OBP for his career and you'll see. Liriano is a good prospect, but pitching prosects usually need 3 years to develop. Hermida is the real deal and should be a contender for NL rookie of the year. Estes is a borderline fantasy player.

I saw the documentary on the History Channel last night, and it seemed the Gospel puts Judas in another light... like he wasn't the betrayer like we know in Bible.  What do you think?

I found the language of the show to be quite interesting. Fore instance, during the first half of the show, they kept asking the question: "Is it real?" This isn't really what they meant, what they meant was "Is it old?" To me, they were implying that "real" = "true".\n\nThey also did not mention several Gnostic beliefs that would have discredited the movement in many people's eyes. You remember the scene at the last supper when they talked about Jesus laughing because the disciples were worshipping the wrong God, that the God who created the universe was actually an inferior God that was not worthy to be worshipped. What they didn't say was that Gnostics believed that this was the God of the Old Testament, so they ignored the Old Testament.\n\nAnother thing that stuck out to me was the phrase "When Jesus appeared on the Earth." Because they believed that the material world was evil, they had what is known as a Docetic view of Jesus. That is, that Jesus only appeared to be human, because God would have never become human and contaminated himself with the material world.\n\nI strongly agree with the speaker at the end who said that the Gospel of Judas provides valuable historical information about the history of Christianity and the movements within it. It shows us that there was never one single Christianity being practiced.  People have beein arguing about who Jesus was since a few minutes after he died.  With that being said, I do not personally believe it provides a historically accurate picture of the characters of Jesus and Judas.\n\nFinally, they seemed to think the fact that there were many Christianities unique. I have to disagree with that. There are many different versions of the Christian faith today, with different holy texts, etc. The book of Mormon is a prime example.\n\nIf you read the other Gnostic texts, you will find they have a lot in common with the Gospel of Judas.  For instance, both the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Thomas elevate one of the Disciples above the others.  The Gospel of Mary Magdalene does the same thing for Mary.  None of the four canonical gospels does this for their author.\n\nAnother thing that absolutely amazes me is that we have 4 gospels that tell very similar stories.  There are some minor differences in the order of events or the events included, but they are consistant for the most part.  One new gospel is found that offers a different story and many people jump on that and say, "Wow!  This is the real story."  It just doesn't make any sense.


at the beginning of the Iraq war draft numbers were not being met and there were some who considered reinstating the draft. i now have been told that recruters are meeting the militarys need for new recruits. can anyone confirm this with hard numbers. please indicate if your answer is confirmed or best guess

I don't keep numbers of this sort, but I do read the newspaper, daily.  Two days ago, the army indicated that it had surpassed it's last recruiting quota.  All of the other services have had no trouble meeting quota.  The army has always had the biggest challenge because of it's size,  I believe the army may have relaxed some of its criteria for recruitment.  This certainly would have helped it to achieve its numbers.  No, this isn't a guess, unless the newspapers are getting bad info.


The wife of the husband was sold the vehicle and she had no job. The husband (now x-husand) for many years, he never paid the lst. paymnet.Eventually, it was repo. The dealer ship, collection agencies, now a lawyer has harrassed her for many years for the loss of resale. Can they collect or sue her for this balance?  Could she sue them for harrassement? She has a call from a lawyer's office regarding this which seemed odd. No registered mail has come.She has been a single mom for years and limited income. Please help us with this situation.

Here are a couple thoughts.\n\nFirst, the FCC and FCRA (fair credit reporting act) both have something to say about harassing phone calls.  There are only certain times during the day when collection agencies and their affiliates are allowed to call a debtor.  Furthermore, they are not allowed to contact a debtor at work or on a cell phone (assuming that the debtor has dutifully informed them that the number is a cell or work number).  She can easily file a complaint with the FCC about the harassing behaviour if these companies aren't complying with the regulations.\n\nThis person needs to look up the statute of limitations for collecting a debt in her area (or for the area in which she lived when the contract was signed).  My understanding is that a business is legally entitled to try to collect on a debt forever and there isn't a statue of limitations.  However, if this person was married during the time or was under 18, she may be able to prove that it isn't her debt legally, allowing her to stop collection efforts.\n\nAlso, any type of communication that this person has with these agencies or their affiliates is voluntary unless she's been given legal notice.  That being the case, I recommend that she simply ignore them and they'll go away because it's just not worth their time to keep bothering you.  They'll write off the debt before too long.\n\nSuing the companies for harassment would just aggrivate the situation and cost her time and money which, presumably, she can't afford.\n\nFinal suggestion:\n- Contact a local consumer assistance hotline.  You might be able to find one by contacting your local PIRG (USPIRG site: http://www.uspirg.org/)\n- Obtain copies of her credit report from all three CRAs and determine if anything has been posted regarding this debt.  If applicable, follow the CRAs requirements for having the debt removed if it was reported.


is this common?  do most men cheat on their wives?  after my mom found out, she confronted him on many occasions, but he refuses to stop.  do most men stop when they get caught?  please dont tell me my dad is a player, because thats fuckking gross, okay?

No it's not normal. Sorry to say, in my opinion it's sick. Your mom should kick him to the curb, and take him for all he's worth. I am amazed at some of the answers on here, I don't know what kind of men you associate with but cheating is not moral and it's disgusting. No one should tolerate cheating. And seeing these answers from women, wow, what in the world!!! I would not even consider dating a woman who is ok with cheating.


For the education of others, what have you done while working on computer hardware that caused a disaster? I have two:\nI plugged in a usb header backwards (they were single little plugs not a block) and put in a USB drive pen drive and watched the sparks and toxic smoke come out of the drive. Rest of the computer survived.\nI built a new computer and the heatsink and fan weren't clipped in all the way. Vibration of the fan starting caused it to fall on my brand new video card. DOH. Again I was lucky, just banged up CPU fan blades.\nYes I have learned from my mistakes...

Not only computers, but try a VERY LARGE and expensive ATM Switch (Carrier Class), dropped a screw in the top of the chassis while it was running...fully loaded with Cards..cost for repair/replace cards $235,000.00\n\nComputers: Decided to flash the bios on a Dell Server, failed due to the power cord coming out while I was moving it around on the floor(at the same time), lost the Bios and had to replace bios chip...cost: $350.00 motherboard (ebay) (Dell wouldn't ship the bios chip)..I've done the Pen-drive (1 Gigabyte pen), not very costly...


whats the point? we lose our loved ones young and old, it hurts so much, why have they been taken away? is there a god, why would he do this if there is? where do they go when they die, do they watch over us or be reborn again? therefore they forget us dont us?  any thoughts?

Death is not a bad thing, I promise.  Death is only bad for everyone else that loses the person.\n\nWhen you die, you will feel the greatest feeling of "arriving back home" that you've ever felt, and will be wondering, "I can't believe I was gone for so long!"


Explain HOW THEY EXPRESS THE THEMES OF COVENANT, DELIEVERANCE, REBELLION, CONSEQUENCES, THE DEUTEROMIC SPIRAL AND THE PROPHETIC UNDERSTAND OF HISTORY (IN THE TORAH) BE SPECIFIC!

EDITED:\n\nI am unsure of what is meant by "deuteronomic spiral" and the best I can come up with is to tell you which parts that I see which seem to have anything to do with the Deuteronomic View - which was in a nutshell the teaching that one must worship ONLY God, and worship ONLY in Jerusalem (not to build shrines in other places or to offer sacrifices anywhere else).\n\nOk, for convenience, \nCov = covenant\nDel = deliverance\nR = rebellion\nCons = Consequences\nDeut = Deuteronomic.\nP = Prophetic Understanding of History\n\nPsalm 105:\nVerse 6 - "his chosen ones" is a reference to Cov with Abraham's descendants regarding the land.\nVs 8 - "ever mindful of His covenant" (Cov).  God never forgets the covenant with Israel.\nThe reference to "for a thousand generations" is a metaphor meaning forever, and this is indicated by the fact that in vs. 10, it calls the covenant "eternal."\n11 - (Cov).  Giving of the land of Canaan (this is the specific nature of the Covenant).\n12 - 15:  (Del).  There were few, but God protected them.  This is sort of a reference to both deliverance and covenant.\nIt is because of the covenant that they "do not touch my anointed ones" or harm the prophets.  (This is a slight reference to prophetic view because obviously without prophets, there would be no prophecy).\nVs 16 - God calls down a famine in the land of Canaan, so that the people sojourn to Egypt.  This is (P) Prophetic view of history, because it is interpreting everything as part of the broad plan of God.  Today, we would just say, "there's a famine."  We do not usually interpret it as the fulfillment of prophecy or as the fulfillment of a particular plan of God.  But here, everything is seen as a part of the Master Plan.\n16-23:  The story of Israel in Egypt.  Again, this is all seen as Divinely-guided history.  All the events have a very specific purpose for the Covenant people.\n28:  (Cons)  - Egypt suffers the consequences of its treatment of Israel.\nBut the Covenant people are protected, and eventually Delivered.\n\n_________\nPsalm 106:\nVs 3:  Good consequences for those act justly and are righteous.\n5:  "prosperity of your chosen ones."  (Cov)\n6:  (R).  "we have sinned... we have gone astray."\n8:  (Del).  Yet God saves them.  He delivers them anyway, because of the Covenant.\n10:  (Del) and (Cons).  (consequences of sin was being given to the foe, and the theme of deliverance is shown in that God redeemed them from the foe).\n12:  (Cov).  Believed God's promise (or covenant).\n13:  (R).  They forgot God's deeds of goodness.\n15:  (Cons).  They were wasting away.\n17:  (Cons).  Earth swallowed up Dathan, etc.\n18, 19:  (Cons.)\n23:  (Cov) and (Del).\n24:  (R)\n26:  (Cons)\n29:  (R) and (Cons)\n33:  (R)\n34:  (Deut).  The people of Israel did not destroy the idolatrous nations, and instead mingled with them and were influenced by their ways.  This was against the covenant of Deuteronomy.  This is also (R)\n41:  (P)  This is a Prophetic view of nature because the consequences of rebelling against the covenant was that the people would be handed over to the nations and would be oppressed.  The Psalmist is seeing history as the work of the Divine fulfillment of prophecy.\n43:  (Del), (R)\n45:  (Cov)\n46:  (Del).\n\nThis whole Psalm repeats again and again how God was seen to work in Israelite history.  There was a Covenant that God always kept.  But the people did not always keep their end of it.  They Rebelled.  When they rebelled, they suffered Consequences that had been Prophesied.  Then they would cry out to the Lord, and the Lord would Deliver them.\n\nSo there is Covenant - Rebellion - Consequences - crying out - Deliverance.  This would repeat again and again.  (Maybe that is what is meant by "spiral" - in that it cycles again and again.  They are delivered, then they get comfortable in a way with the way thin


How long can you wait to get married? It takes a long time to really get to know someone. Would you be able to comfortably be with that person for 5-10 years before you got married?

I had 4 tires slashed on my car last night. Who can I get to pay for this. I have car insurance but I still have a deductible.

You have to foot the bill with your insurance company.  The best you can do is file a "request for restitution" for the amount of your deductable if someone is charged later for the offense.


I had stomach surgery three years ago, never took vitamins before, took liquids and could tolerate those gummi vitamins ... but now they feel more like candy than something nutritionally sound.  Ideas?

multivitamins consist of a bunch of vitamins and or minerals. usually with lower dosage than individual vitamins you take.....if u have never taken any vitamins, multivitaminsa great start...however, u need to consult doctors or nutritionist perhaps you need larger dosage of specific vitamins like C B or vitamin E


It is freedom to do and be what your have decided to pursue and work towards.  Government does not have as much power over one's own initiative to improve his/her own condition.

She wrote it down for me but her handwriting is bad and it just keeps getting returned to me, so I'm not sure if I'm entering the words she wrote down.


I have MS.I take xanax and loratab for this ailment.Pharmacy computer say's I am the only one to pick up the perscription.No one has ever picked up any of these perscriptions except myself.When I called to inquire about picking up my last perscription I was told it was picked up by my ex husband whom I have an on going domestic violence situation with.The pharmacy manager discussed the perscription with a cashier who is the aunt of my ex husband and she told him I received it,I didn't.This resulted in my being without meds. somehow my doctor got involved and somehow my doctor dropped me as a paient.I found this out 2 weeks later when I called to report I was having an MS attack and was told he was no longer my doctor and was told I should go to the ER. I had to be taken by ambulance to the ER and spent 2 days in the hospital.Question is do I have any legal case against the pharmacy.

You may or may not have a case, i guess i dont know the details. If he discussed the case with the cashier in an effort to solve the problem of who has the script, I dont think it would be a privacy violation (I maybe wrong) especially if he didnt disclose to her what drug you were taking. And its going to be hard to prove by word of mouth that this isnt what happened. If it was a personal conversation though and then it would probably be a HIPPA violation.  I'm an intern in pharmacy school but I'm not a legal expert so I don't know every little detail and what counts as a HIPPA violation and what doesnt. Also, if they end up not having that your ex isnt allowed to pick up your Rx you might have a tough time proving your case. Like I said though, I dont know the details of the incident nor am i familiar with the situation, and I'm sure im not hearing the whole story. It seems odd your doctor would "drop" you if there wasnt more to this story... You probably need to talk to a lawyer to get an exact answer if you really want to sue them. It sounds like it was probably an honest mistake by the pharmacy. Pharmacies usually have several thousand patients, and to be realistic its pretty much impossible to stay up on the domestic situations of each one. If they had a note on your husband, it was probably buried in the part of your profile called the DUR in which case they tech wouldnt have seen the note unless she was looking for it. I think you're also going to have to prove that your ex picked up your prescription... and even if he did, the pharmacy would be able to give you more if you had refills, though your insurance might not cover it. So yeah, you need to ask a lawyer... but IMO you dont have that much of a case... sorry about the trouble you've had though.

This is a long one!My husband is depressed and has been ever since I've known him.He is now on medication but hasn't really helped.We have been together for 7 years with a 5 year old son and married for 2.5 years.I have always thought we were completly happy together but before christmas he said our marriage was going to shit and he was bored!I thought it was his depression and was he was on medication things would be fine.\nFive weeks ago he started coming home from work late and drinking every night.He was nasty and told me how unhappy he was with me and it was my fault as I had the chance to change things when he told me before christmas.I apologised and made him stay at his parents for the night to think(they were away).That weekend we stayed at my mum's and also went to visit his family for mothers day.He said some nasty comments in front of everyone,so I took my things out of the car and left with my son to stay at my mum's.I couldn't get in touch with him that night.

Look I went through the same thing with my ex wife ....I started to realize it wasn't any thing I could do.... Cause it wasn't just up to me it was up to her too.....You can only carry some one for so long before you end up being the same person....I know it will be hard but maybe it is time to move on ....Don't be anybodies fool... You need to start a life that gives you some comfort and happiness..Sounds like you need it....And I know you have a child ,but wouldn't you rather have you child have all the love he/she could get from you ? Rather than you being so worried about what your husband is doing late at night.When you woory about what your husband is doing you take away the focus your child needs .... Hope that helps a little\nEXPLAYA here

The governement and corporations are ruining peoples lives.  Especially, where I live in Michigan.  Why don't these activists acutally do something?  Like take over everyones telivisions, and send pamphlets out to people houses.  And declare a day in which the entire country will stay home and not buy gas?  On a Sunday??  If everyones so pissed about it why dont we all do something?  It's so damn stupid.

There are some key phrases in your question that make me wonder why you think "THEY" ought to do something about the problems. Why don't YOU do something about it? Are YOU an activist? Do you even vote? If you've got all the answers, then PLEASE, get out there and start the revolution!\n\nI'm not really trying to be mean or sarcastic. I hear a LOT of young people complaining and when I ask them if they vote, most of them say no, its a waste of time. Well, now you know why it is NOT a waste of time.\n\nYou did finally end your question by asking why don;t WE all do something about it. I agree. I'm ready to start the revolution, are you with me? I was there in the 60's and I'm ready to do it again. Its the only way we can control our government when they've gotten too big and overpowering.\n\nUse your anger for good. You GO, girl!


Why has Trevor Hoffman not recorded a save thus far?  Bad luck, poor performance, someone else now closing, padres not winning close games, etc?   Do I drop this guy from my fantasy squad?   Thanks in advance!!

Simplely no save oppotunity.  It's not his fault.  His stuff is still good and he is in a pitcher friendly ballpark, don't drop him.  There should be many close games in NL west.


If you have a website that supports your position it would be appreciated.I want to be respectful of military protocol. Thank you.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission website (just google search on "Commonwealth War Graves Commission") shows pictures of lots of war graves, including Canadians, many with flowers on them. Yes, of course it is appropriate. These people gave everything they had for us. We should at very least show them we still care about them.


how can i prepare for the 400 meter dash? i want to get 60 secs.?\ni want to run it in 60 seconds flat. any techniques? work outs?\n\nPLEASE DON'T SAY KEEP RUNNING. I NEED EXCERCISES, ENDURANCE, QUOTES. etc.

Here is some advice I previously posted to another 400m runner.\n\nIf you aren't already running 600m in your workout, add them once a week. They build up your strength and help you maintain your speed over that last 100m.  Not knowing your ability, I would say try to run them going out the first 400 at a pace 5-10 seconds slower than your best 400m and then concentrate on staying strong to the finish.\n\nI would also to workouts with multiple 400s, 5-10 seconds slower than your best 400 time, or multiple 200s, a second or two faster than your 400m pace.\n\nYou might also try running shorter intevals up a long hill. Back in the 60's, the UCLA team used to run 400s up a long hill. They had the best 4x400 team in the country back then, so the there is evidence that the workouts did some good. \n\nYou need to learn how to run the race correctly. I break the race down into 4 100s. For most of the first 100, you should be accelerating smoothly to your "cruising pace", running hard, but not sprinting all out. The 2nd and 3rd 100s, should be fast, but relaxed. The last 100 is where your strength will have to kick in. You are going to start to feel like someone dropped a weight on your back. We used to say "The bear got him" when we'd watch it happen to a runner in a big way.\n \nYou'll need to focus on keeping you knees going straight forward. They will want to go off at an angle.  Keep your arms swinging straight ahead. Some runners feel it helps them to exagerate their armswing as it helps keep their legs going.  \n\nRelax your face and jaw. Don't grimace. When you do, it thightens up first your face, then your neck and shoulders.\n\nAfter a hard run, do a lot of stretching. You've got to have a full range of motion to have a smooth, effortless stride.\n\nI always recommend Bob Anderson's stretching book, it's a classic: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0936070226/002-4340010-1751209\

I don't ever remember having to boil water to use with infant formula however the stuff I have now says to do so.

No, you do not have to boil infant formula.  As long as your tap water has not been found contaminated.  In fact, my son is now 2 and the entire time he drank formula, I actually put hot tap water into the bottle directly.  I let the water run for about a minute before putting it in the bottle so that any deposits from the pipes would flush out.  That way he got the benefit of fluoride in the water and he didn't get burned from uneven microwave zaps!

and any heads up tips before i enter the ocean my first time out

Here's how I've been cleaning my boards for 20+ years:\n\n1. Lie the board, wax up, in the sun. If it's a hot sunny day, around noon-ish, it should only take a few minutes to start melting. You'll know it's ready when the wax starts to glisten (yes, I know, people say you're not supposed to leave a surfboard in the sun, but we're only talking about a few minutes and, when compared to the amount of time it sits in the sun while you're actually out in the water surfing, that logic doesn't really add up).\n\n2. Take a wood or plastic spatula from your kitchen and start scraping the wax off in long, even strokes (you could use a wax comb, but most of them are way too small...it takes forever). Using a paper towel, remove the wax from the spatula and dump it in a trash bag. Repeat until you've got the bulk of the wax removed.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE: Wax is gnarly stuff. If you get it on your patio or carpet, it will stain pretty much permanently once it melts. I suggest doing this on your lawn or laying down a large towel or drop cloth. Also, if it's not warm and sunny, you can use a blow dryer to soften up the wax. It's kind of a hassle, but it works.\n\n3. Using paint thinner, take a rag and wipe the entire board down (both sides). This will remove all the remaining wax, as well as any dirt or gunk on the board. Some companies sell a liquid they refer to as "wax remover" or "fire water" - it's all just paint thinner with better packaging and a bigger price tag.\n\n4. Rinse the board thoroughly with water. \n\nAd far as paddling out for the first time, you'll have all kinds of people give you all kinds of advice. 99% of it is worthless. \n\nAs long as you have a basic sense of how surfing works - paddling, catching a wave, jumping to your feet, etc. - you're pretty much ready to paddle out. No amount of advice, studying, or practice on the beach will help you ride that first wave. You just gotta keep trying until you get it. \n\nWith that said, a few suggestions to at least get you in a position to do that (and not die or kill anyone else in the process):\n\n1. Paddle out at a spot with the least amount of people you can find. Beginners are a hazard. Everytime you lose control of your board, you run the risk of tagging someone in the head. Very dangerous. \n\n2. BEFORE you paddle out, sit on the beach and watch for at least a half hour. Get a sense of where the waves are breaking, how often, and any other patterns you can pick up on. Do the other surfers in the water appear to be drifting in one direction or the other? If so, there's a current. Be aware of it. \n\n3. Use the lineups. In other words, as you're walking out into the ocean, pick a few landmarks on the beach and remember them. Then use those landmarks to gauge your location once in the water. They'll let you know if you're drifting, in which direction, and how quickly. \n\n4. Make sure your board is plenty big. The biggest mistake that 90% of beginners make is using a board that's too small. Get a big enough board and you might get up on your very first try. Get a board that's too small and it could be a YEAR before you stand up successfully. \n\n5. If possible, surf with a friend. The buddy system is tried and true. Better yet, get a friend who already knows how to surf. Don't force them to sit with you and watch you fall off 50 times in a row. Just having them in the vicinity can be helpful, especially if it gives you a chance to watch them surf. With a little luck, they'll paddle over from time to time and give you a few pointers. \n\n6. 90% of the time a beginner has blown the wave before he even attempts to stand up. This happens by either being too far back on the board (these are the guys you see paddling with the nose of the board sticking up in the air), in which case almost every wave will pass you by. Or by being too far forward on the board (these are


what can i do to go in a summer course for real?

Sounds like you're in college? Go to your campus study abroad office, sometimes called International Education or something like that. They'll set you up. It may be too late to go this summer, but just go to the office and see what there is. Or check out these websites:\nhttp://www.studyabroad.com/\nhttp://www.ciee.org/


I have been biting my nails since elementary school.  I've tried all those different nail polishes that taste bad, and none work.  I've also put acrylic nails on several times, and they keep on falling off, so I got tired of having to go get them put back on every few days.  I am looking for another solution to help me quit.

sry. nope. good luck on trying to stop.im rootin 4 u. u can do it!


I mean, it only seems logical, given the use of television and radio by other civilized countries (e.g., BBC).  And I can see why they're not going after it now, what with the advent of the internet.  \nJust, why when radio and tv were growing in their respective popularities, why the FCC not bother to reserve their own frequencies for governmental use (other than NOAA)?

Because we value freedom and capitalism more than any other country in the world.\n\nHaving even one nationalized radio or television station is kind of a slippery slope.  Just look at Russia, where they started to nationalize their radio and tv and just kept on going.  Kind of a big brother thing too- we don't really want a direct line from the government into our homes through the TV.


A frog telephoned the Psychic Hot line and was told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young woman who will want to know everything about you." \n\nThe frog said, "that`s great!

A while later, the nurse comes out to congratulate the second guy. "You are the proud father of triplets!" "That's funny," says the new dad. " I work for AAA." The third expectant father jumps up, a look of terror on his face, and runs out of the room. "Sir, where are you going?" the nurse calls out. He yells over his shoulder," I work for 10,000 Auto parts!"

My friend's mom abuse's her. Her mom is also very religous. Her mom hits her and then tells her its a form of discipline and then shows a verse in the bible where it says you can hit your child to discipline them.(i don't know which one). Is there a verse in the bible where it says you shouldn't hit your child? So I can tell my friend and she can show her mom, next time she gets abused?

The Bible definitely condones hitting your kid as a form of discipline.  \n\nSpare the rod and spoil the child.  It doesn't condone abuse however.  A loving parent will hit a child to teach him/her a lesson without causing real physical injury. Ever hear "this is gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you."?  \n\nThat's the most important point here.  A loving parent should want to teach their child yet would never wish serious injury to their child.


Because I live on the water I need a stainless steel grill and do not have the $295.00 to buy one right now.  I searched the internet and found a good deal at Walmart with 90 days deferred payment.  It is smart to buy that way or should I wait until I have the money.  I am afraid the grill will not be available in 60 days when I have saved the money.

Yes because you will get it interest free for 90 days, also it will make you aware of what your getting. Which means that this way you will have it now instead of waiting until you did save it...Janie

Latest research found that contact lense solutions causes blindness to contact lense users. Could you give me any information about this disease? Please don't refer a link.\nThanks.

Fusarium keratitis is bascially a fungal infection of the cornea (the clear front of the eye).  The fungus causes large ulcers right over the pupil, which are very difficult to treat.  As the ulcers heal, the cornea scars and becomes opaque (leading to blindness).  Patients usually have the option of a corneal transplant to restore vision to the affected eye.


god made man and man made religion, so why do e let religion divide use. why do we waste time arguing religion?

Because people like to shove their religion down other peoples throats.  Thats why.  If everyone would keep their religion to themselves and cut the "my religion is right - yours isnt!" mentality out of it, the world would be a better place.

maps of land reclaimation from the 1965 and now

Man,I'm studying that now and I have the maps on my book.Pity I can't send it to you.....Try Yahoo images.


also,why do they scratch their balls all the time?

definitely because of the sweating thing. Having a sag of skin that weighs a .5lbs to the inside of your leg isn't fun.\n\nAlso, it could be to readjust the Big Guy. He decides to grow @ completely random times, and if he's facing down (towards his feet) or straight out or to either side, he doesn't have much room to grow too! So you need to get down there and straighten out the situation before it starts to hurt too much. And after you do, well you're hand is in your lap already, do you have to move it? No. Then why move it? Leave it there.\nIt's not too complicated really.


Is my idea about massless particle =Space-springs which are storing the gravity power of Space-time filling the whole Universe which at one time was erroneously called Aether?\nIf "Quantum" means a small basic quantity than there exists Quantum space. Which means that the Universe is made of quantum space particles of the so Called Aether?\nThis Old ideas of the Aether should have be called "Quantum  masseless space mechanics",Would they have understood the Aether?These are stricly my ideas and may not represent reality!

Quantum mechanics deals with anything that can come in fixed quanta, which is basically everything if you get small enough!\n\nMass comes in its fundamental particles, but you have other fixed packets of energy that can be treated with particle behaviour.\nA photon is a packet of light.\nA phonon is a packet of vibrational energy.\nEven magnetic flux in a superconductor has a magnetic flux quantum.


I have this friend who doesnt want to go. But I tell her she should. But she always makes up excuses why not to go\n\n(BTW we are both Catholic in case you wanted to know)

If you have ever been to confession for any reason yourself, how did this make you feel. Are you prepared to  share your reasoning for confession with her so she can hear examples of good feelings about. The rest is then up to her to decide if she would want to go and be confident about it. Good Luck! X


I have a wonderful friend, who is loving, caring and a lot of fun. I don't know how to tell her to stop sleeping with different men and WOMEN! It's not doing her any good. She has recently found her dad again after 12 years and has now realised she has slept with her cousin and almost slept with her brother!! It is a very small world. How do I tell her to stop without upsetting her or destroying her confidence?

Her confidence is probably already destroyed. This is the reason a lot of women sleep around. They need love and affection, as everyone does, but they've never gotten it and are still not getting it. They believe this is the only way they will get it. She may seem happy and proud of her sex life but that is not always the case. The only thing you can do for her is let her know that you care and you are worried. Tell her why you care about her and why you're worried about her. Then, continue to be her friend. If she can not or does not want to change, she is still the same person you've been friends with. Good luck. :^)


It seems like with the advance of technology and our society that people are not staying together anymore. why is that?

I am not a very self motivated person and although I love the courses I am taking I find it very hard to continue achieving once the first excitement of the year is over- I want to keep my A s , but how?

I think the best thing to do is to work on things over time instead of saving everything for the last minute.  I always found that when the last minute came, I would just keep putting things off.  Just set aside a little bit of time each day to work on something.  But, oh i know thats harder said than done.


rule of thumb for an associate's degree is 2 years and a bachelor's is 4 years.  If you have a number of courses that carry credit already (AP or IB courses, or college credits you have done already), you may be able to cut that 4 years down - also, if you can afford to take classes in the summer too, you may be able to finish a bachelors in 3 or possibly even 2 1/2 years, if you pass out of some classes too and take an overload each semester.\n\nMost colleges have pretty strict restrictions about this, though, so I would expect that 3 years be the minimum you'd shoot for, and 3 1/2 being more likely.

My professor has asked me to solve a few arterial blood gas values for a lab report, but I have been having difficulty with the scenario in my question. Is this setup always going to be considered "compensated"? I know that the respiratory/metabolic, acidosis/alkalosis conditions are dictated by the given values for Pco2, the -HCO3 to H2CO3 ratio, and pH range, but I have only  been exposed to situations where the pH is either too high or too low and the other readings are abnormal, not where pH is normal and the other readings abnormal.................I have been searching everywhere, please help!!!!!!!

Monocube kind of has the right idea, but not really. The first thing you look at is the pH. Normal range is 7.35 - 7.45, with the absolute being 7.4. the lower the #, the more acidic it is, and the higher it is the more alkalotic. \n\nThe next thing you look at is the PaCO2. Normal = 35 - 45. When CO2 mixes w/ H20, you get carbonic acid, so increased PaCO2 will cause the pH to be more acidic (lower pH), decreased - more alkaline (higher pH).\n\nThen you look at the HCO3 level. Normal is 22-26. Bicarb is alkaline. The higher the bicarb level, the more alkaline (higher pH) and decreased bicarb = more acidic (lower ph).\n\nSo, lets make up a blood gas:\npH 7.28  PaCO2 74 HCO3 26 (we'll forget the other results for now & concentrate on this part)\n\nOk, so we see that the pH is low, so this is an acidic result. Now - what's causing it? The respiratory system, or the kidneys? Our CO2 (respiratory) is high, which means acidic. The bicarb is normal, so it is not a metabolic (kidney) problem. This is a respiratory acidosis.\n\n And you want to know about compensation...compensated means that it is a chronic problem. Something that has been going on for awhile, and the body has had time to fix the problem, and return the pH back to the normal level. \nThe example we have above is an acute problem. The bicarb level is normal. It takes at least 24 hours for the kidneys to try to compensate for a respiratory problem. This is an acute respiratory acidosis.\n\nIf we change the values - pH 7.33, same PaCO2 - 74, and HCO3 of 32, then we see that the kidneys have now started to fix the problem. Our pH is still acidic, still caused by a respiratory issue, but the bicarb is now elevated, so this is a partially compensated respiratory acidosis.\n\nOnce again, changing values to pH 7.37, PaCO2 74, HCO3 36. Now our pH is in the normal range. BUT, this is where people get messed up - you have to remember that the absolute normal is 7.40. This pH is on the acidic side, even though it is in the normal range. So then you look at the other values. the CO2 is very high, but so is the bicarb.\n I have seen Doctors and nurses who are unfamiliar with blood gas interpretation freak out on a gas like this. Is this patient in respiratory distress? NO! let me explain why. This is a compensated respiratory acidosis. The pH is back in the normal range! This is a typical blood gas for a COPD patient. This is where they "live". They retain CO2, their levels are always high, so the kidneys "compensate".\n\n If you have more questions, feel free to email me at mike.marlow@yahoo.com I hope this helps you.

Boy... never did that again!\n\n\n\nWhat is the stupidest thing you've ever seen?\nSome idiot weaving in and out of heavy traffic on a New York expressway, only to slam on his brakes and flip his VW 5 times until it stopped upside down.  He crawled out of the window.\n\nWhat is the stupidest thing you've ever imagined? \nYup, this one is stupid.  Imagined that I was wealthy and didn't have to work and I was dreaming that I was sitting somewhere in Hawaii, sipping cocktails on the beach while a servant took care of everything.\n\nThen reality kicked in....

with my account being hacked and me not being able to do anything about it -- does anyone know how to trace it back to who is doing it?  i have changed the password, obviously, but the hacker still manages to get in the account.  he doesn't change my password but he is able to hack into it.  what are some programs that i can use to download to see what is going on?  thanks.

If you can prove that your account is hacked, contact the police.  They will put you in touch with the appropriate people...

Well, I was talking to my friend about the fact that I went to the bathroom a lot one day, and they told me that urinating a lot is very bad, and could mean that you have a health problem. \n\nWell, lately, the hypochondriac in me has been worrying about it NON-STOP. It's seriously all I think about. "Do I have to go to the bathroom now?", "Can I go such a long time without going?", it's seriously driving me insane.\n\nIf for some reason I am preoccupied with something else, I can go 5-6 hours without having to go the bathroom. However, when I am in class in school, I think about it ALL THE TIME, and sometimes I have to go every 45 minutes.\n\nIs dwelling on it so much making me have to go more, or do I just forget about how much I have to go when I don't think about it?\n\nI usually go to the bathroom 6-7 times a day. Sometimes it is even more, but somedays when I am doing something important, I only go 3-4 times. \n\nIs this a problem? I'm really worried. How do I get myself to stop?

Being extremely thirsty and having to go to urinate a lot can be an early indication of diabetes. However, if you're averaging 3-7 bathroom breaks a day (I think 4-6 is considered the norm), I don't see that as a problem. It sounds like you're probably just stressing out over it for no reason. Can you usually sleep through the night without having to get up to pee? If so, relax.


could you post the poem for me or make one up that would be great thanks!!!!

Have Common folder pop up when I turn on computer. how do I get rid of it. Tried Ad-ware and deleted everying in it. Still get Common folder popping up.

First get go to Download.com and get Spybot Search and Destroy. Update the definitions to Adaware and Spybot. If you are running XP, right click my computer, choose Properties, and then choose system restore. Turn off System Restore. \n\nRun both Adaware and Spybot. Clean everything out. \n\nReboot the computer. Boot into safe mode. Do this by pressing F8 continuosly while the computer is booting up.\n\nWhen you are in safe mode, run Adaware and Spybot again.\nClean everything out again.\n\nReboot into normal Windows.\n\nRun Adaware and Spybot again. If everything comes up clean, turn your System restore back on, and hopefully it will be all set. \n\nThis is a fairly lengthy process and usually it will do the trick.\n\nIf this still doesn't work, you may have to resort to professional help or reformat. This is the first step (and by far the easiest) in removing the offending malware.\n\nGood luck.


Western music is anything from Europe and the America's.......so it shouldn't be too hard. If you're looking for "Country and Western" well....that might be easier on Google.


I have checked the facts....... It appears the Uk will definitely have a ban on public smoking , in the workplace and in their pubs. I have nothing against people who smoke, but i do hate smoke in my face when i go out to eat.

I hope all countries will recognize that ALL OUTDOORS is public, and ban smoking outdoors.   They could have smoking areas in sealed vaults somewhere,  and I would not object to that as long as they never have the doors open very long.

Who is Jonathon Freeman the poet? I am doing a project about poets and i would like to know more about Jonathon Freeman before i research him.


I met this guy on my cell on a chat link we exchanged #`s and hav txted eachother quite a few times we plan to talk soon but jst takin it slow 4 now, wat do u all think bout meeting people this way???

i would say be very careful. even if you get a lot of details, or a picture or anything, it could all be fake. if youre going to meet this guy, suggest to meet in a big group, get a lot of your friends together at a public place, maybe go bowling or out to eat or something, just to make sure.


hi all \ni just finish my mid-term exam there was a true or fuls Q. state that mean is always greter than median.\n\ni select true for that Q. & i have to proof my answer.\n\ncan somone help me in that pllllllzzzzzzzzz\n\ni don't like to lose lot of marks.\n:((((

Sorry your answer was wrong.\nMean can be less than median also as median is not affected by extreme numbers at its both ends while mean is.\n\ne.g. find mean and median of following data.\n     1, 3, 5, 9, 18, 180\n\nhere your answer for mean will come to\n               36\n\nwhile if you find median for it then it will come to\n            7\n\nIn this example mean was greater than median.\n\ne.g. -180, 18, 5, 3, 1, 9\nhere your mean is -24\n\nwhile your median is 4.\n\nSo from both example you can say that\n\nnone of them is always greater than other one nor it is always smaller than other one.


I have been with this guy for 5 1/2 years now and he still does not want to grow up. We just moved in together 6 months ago and I do almost everything around here. Now I am tired of it. He does not cook, clean, wash clothes or anything. He does not clean my car or fix it and the worst part is he is a mechanic. But he is cute and loving sometimes.

Your situation is lke tons of others. It is like you have to have a dog, because everyone of your gal pals has a dog. so when you all get together, they hace something in common to chat about and you are left out. So you find some busted down junk yard dog to take home and make your own. But the dog distroys the kitchen everynight, chews every new pair of shoes you bring home, and leaves nice smelly "love" packages in the corner when you wake up. And you don't like it and complain. Like a dog you can't train you have 3 options:\n\nOne: Except the dog and his bad habits. Lock the kitched down everynight. Keep your shoes outof sight. Keel a good supply of scrub brushes, cleaners, and deoderizers on hand Put down a warm bet and food and be glad you at least have one.\n\nTwo: Find a way to get the dog trained to where you want him to be. \n\nThree: If you can not live with the conditions the dog does to your home and effects. Kick the dog to the curb, and find one that fits your life better. \n\nThe "but" is just a way of ducking the issue. It is like saying "well the dog DOES cost me more time cleaning the kitchen, and way more money on carpet cleaning bills then I want to spend. And he cost me 100s of extra dollars on shoes, BUT he has not tried to bite me YET" Ask your self, is those "cute and lovable times" worth doing all the washing, cleaning, car washing, maybe bill paying? If so, why post a question asking if you should go? Only YOU know if it is worth it. Would you ask somesome if you should keep on buying phone cards that are suppose to give you 6 months of unlimited calls anywhere in the world that didn't just because someone else who was not spending the money on them told you it was a good deal? I know you know when you feel cheated, and by what you are saying it sounds as if you don't feel things are even. Whether it makes you feel cheated only YOU know that. \n\nThen, you mush have been aware of some of this before you moved in. Unless you never went to his home. And when you were together it was all physical and hardly no talking. You say he still does not want to grow up. What does that mean to you(maybe different to him), and what do you think keeps him from doing it?\n\nNow. How to train this "dog" to not muck up the kichen, do his business outside, and keep off your shoes. As in business the fear of loss is greater than the desire to gain. Tell him you have something to do in the evening(don't tell him what, be vague), so a housekeeper will need to be found. Quote a rather high price and tell him since half the place is his, he need to help out. If he balks then bring it up to him that he doesn't do anything to help, and it has to be clean. Start feeding him on paper plates with plastic spoons. If he balks, bring it up he don't do dishes and you have your "thing" you will be doing and won't have time. He doesn't want to help with the wash, send ALL his clothes to the dry cleaners. If he ask, you don't have time to do that many loads, if he did some.... Don't nag him about stuff. Men are kings at pinching that crap off. But the pocket book. That ain't ignored for long. As for your "thing" you can take some BS piano lessonm or ballroom dancing class. Whatever. Make sure the instrutor is MALE. Get a male friend you can trust and make one up if you have to. Married hopefully but if he thinks you are getting close to another male his ear will be open when you speak of him. Tell your "dog" how Mr Piano teacher has such a clean home. And how he is festidious about keeping it up. How he ALWAYS insist on bringing you coffee and not having you get up etc. And if all else fails, use the nuclear option. When he gets frisky, tell him, "no tonight. I am tired. I had to bla bla bla and now my sholders and lover back is stiff." If he want it THAT bad, he will get off his lazy tail and make s


I was reading on yahoo news today, that older black holes produce energy more efficiently than younger ones. They stated that beams of energy shoot out in all directions. So by that rational the black hole that is in our galaxy, when it get older, will produce the same amount of energy. Since there is no friction in space to slow down the particals. When the particals from other galaxies collide with particals from our galaxy does that mean that eventually we will start to see production of anti-matter in our galaxy? And if so would we have to worry about anti-matter ahnialation destroying our planet?

There are already antimatters existing in and outside our galaxy. But the ratio of antimatter to matter is rather small. More often than not, when both matter and antimatter come together, large amount of energy is release. The energy emitted is large enough to create another particle.

I've heard that Toronto and Montreal have some organized crim families, but I'm not sure.

Hey,,you donna wanna be askin aquestions alikea dese..we aknowa whera you live ....bada bing bada boom... also I hear them pesky australians are operating in the area...you watcha yourselfa....


my class is going on this tirp and we are going to be gone for 4 days and 3 nights i know that roxs but here is the down side there is this boy i like and he is in the 9th and i am in the 8th and i am going to miss him so much should i gave him my cell number or not?

i think u shud et him know tht u r interested but if u go n give him ur no maybe it wud seem u r too desperate.....let the desperateness grow in him (it will grow indeed once he gets the hint that u lik him)\nthn he will ask for ur cell no shoe no street no etcetc


.. n then u realise that u actually remember nothing.. coz.. u hv'nt revised anything..  (although read the topics b4)\n\nnow u cant sleep... also.. u cant get up n read the summary.. coz its too late & u cant risk ur last night sleep!!\n\nnow what?

You start praying! :)) Nothing else could help you in this situation!\n\nNow seriously...you have to calm down and try to have some rest after all...because you've got to have your mind fresh and open for new ideas. Sometimes it's better not to read anything at all if you don't have time to study thoroughly, because you will then find yourself very stressed about the fact that you cannot remember the exact words, ideas etc.\n\nBut if you haven't studied anything at all...there is nothing to be stressed about (I mean regarding what you have to remember...you haven't read a thing!) and if you do manage to calm down then you'll maybe be able to come up with some ideas of your own (that's what I usually do...I just try to think about the subject and what I know about it from other sources than my books...maybe from tv, the internet, a discussion with a friend...)


my theeth has broken some and mostofthem shaking.other problum is my theeth lost the anamil.can i get my theeth back without much expensive.

There are treatments for broken teeth... you would need to discuss your treatment options with a dentist.  If money is a problem for you, then contact a dental school near you... the fees are generally quite low.  You can also contact your local health department.. many health departments in the U.S. now have dental clinics.


Hey everyone I go to LaGuardia Community College and i am the only Black person in my class. The kids always make comments about my peanut brown skin and braids. The teacher just looks other way. I cant prove anything because i have no witnesses. I saw the show Black/White on FX and it gave me an idea i was wondering if anyone knew any quick homemade easy solutions to bleach skin.Im not Mike Jackson i only want my skin done. I major in mental health so i am not crazy..anything will help\ngracias:(

Changing your race color is only going to make it worse, it will only show that you may not like you color, or you want to become one of them, and the word will get worse, tell the College anyway, and the problem in the classroom. And plus if you go and do this how do you think your family will feel?


k that was the Q but this is y i need help so i was thinking i have no idea y but i gust was my bf dumped me and i am deprest do i kill my self and end my sorow or stay alive and suffer until i get another bf if i do not get on soooooonnn i will kill my self ok so wat do i do.

Don't kill yourself.  There is one guy out there that is with you now and will always be there.  Jesus is the most faithful man ever and he loves all of us.  He is the only man you need.  Find him in your life and when you are ready he won't just give you a man, he will give you The Man that God has created for you.


I use to be attracted to females,but one day while masterb@ting,I thought of a guy.It was really a turn on and I began to think of guys more and more.I eventually wasn't attracted to woman any more.It's kind of like I pushed my attraction to woman to the back row or sparked a fire and kept feeding it with more fantacies.Did I think my way into homosexuality?It seems like I nurtured my attraction to males and it spreaded,becoming a bigger fire than my attraction to woman.If I gradually strayed away from being attracted to woman,do you think I can regain my attraction?Is it still there and I just have to nurture it?

It is a good question but I don't think there are any hard and proved answers.  There is a grid called the "Klein Sexual Orientation Grid"  Alfred Kinsey along with a few others don't think that sexual orientations are eternally fixed.\n\nI am in somewhat a similar situation.  I was mad about girls just girl crazy as a teen etc.  I have also been interested in certain aspects of males too.  My interest is more than it was before in males.  Thinking more about males has not been my choice it just happens. I don't think that sexual orientation is in anyway a choice.  I think it has something to do with perhaps chemical changes in the brain.\n\nGo with the flow and accept yourself for who you are now.  Can you regain your attraction to women if you nurture it? I really really doubt it (it is not a choice). I wonder the same thing for myself too. \n\nIt may have something to do with androgen's or the Hypothalamus in the brain.\n\nI have included a helpful Wikpedia link about Biology and sexual orientation.  Have a look under Studies of brain structure.

Why do women and men date someone a couple of times, decide they are not interested, dump them and then a couple months later, try to talk to that person again?

because they get lonely and think 'oh, maybe that person wasn't so bad after all.'


i realy like him, and he lives acros the street, he is always riding his bike out front and crashing and asking if i saw his "huge" crash from the other day, i answer no (even thogh i did) and he is one year yonger, he was lifted up a grade cus he is sooo smart, lol, huge bonus! and he is sooo nice wit kids and stuf, and very very very hot, but wenever i say that some1 on tv is hot the is a difrent race, my mom will always say, o, he is mexican, she isnt racist or anything, but still. and then wen i was at school i said the host on the yo momma show was realy hot, and ozzy, a kidd at school, said, y would you say that, he's mexica. i don't want ppl to think badly of me cus i like mexicans or some1 that isnt my color, and i don't want to b the romor of the week, cus did i mentan, I LIVE IN A TOWN THAT IS POPULATION 1,750! WROD TRAVELS REALY REALY FAST AROWND HERE AND ALMOST EVERY1 IS CHRISTAN HERE! ppl, i need your help bad!

I don't really understand the question, as I can't see a problem with falling in love with a Mexican, or anyone regardless of their race.  If you say someone is hot and your mum says "oh he's Mexican" say "so what?  I like the dark, handsome, latin look"!  \n\nIf he's nice and you like him, then go for him, and don't take notice of any racists who say anything: they're just ignorant, and probably jealous that you bagged yourself a hottie!

Does any university allow the following of an M.Sc. course with just a B.Sc. Pass or Third Class degree? What happens to those who end up with such a low qualification? Can't they hope in an advancement? are they doomed for life?

If you have a BSc and some working experience you can probably get into an MSc program but you might have to do a qualifying course before they will admit you (to demonstrate that you are capable of doing the work).

What do you think of Angie now?   Don't you think she's horrible for breaking up Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt?  She doesn't seem to look like she really cares.  I used to like her,,,,,but not to much now.

I think the were over before she came into the picture -Brad wanted kids and Jen wasn't ready -so it pretty much ends there -even though they hadn't split at that time -Angie just happened to be the right one for Brad - I dont think she has done anything wrong - it would be wrong for a person to stay with someone they dont see eye to eye with


How effective are comdoms in terms of preventing pregnancy?

100% effective if you read the enclosed condom instructions properly and they don't split, but this is quite rare to happen.\nMost failures, (splitting) are caused by putting them on incorrectly, using the wrong types in some cases or using an oil based lubricant - It damages the condom.

No way, are you kidding me?\n\nYou're just expressing yourself... if anything you may be a little rebellious. That's completley normal and understandable.\n\nBesides... what you described is not what a "Goth" person is.\n\nAnd a person cannot be "Gothic". They can be a "Goth". The term "Gothic" refers to a form of architecture... you know, a lot of churches are "Gothic"-looking.\n\nDon't change, express yourself the way that you want.

The wedding dress was bought to wear at another wedding but engagement was called off.  Is it considered bad luck to wear the dress that was bought for a different engagement?

I don't believe in luck so I can't answer from that viewpoint. As for it being in poor taste, I suppose that would depend on how many people saw it when you bought it for the first wedding. If it was only family and very close friends, I say go for it! \n\nCongratulations!

I saw news stories of these bastards burning the American flag while proudly flying the Mexican flag.  Isn't this an act of war for a foreign national to do that on US soil?  Can they be shot legally as warring intruders?

Yes, these invading rats whould be rounded and sent back to the Mexican cesspool they came from.  They bring with them gangs, illigitimate babies, illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, ignorance, and welfare hungry families.  They have totally destroyed their own country--they don't want to live there and now they want to turn the America into a garbage dump like they did to Mexico.  I say shoot them at the border as they try to enter.


ha ha....omg zacky is so hott!! he is on fire! i just love him sooo much <3\n\nI LOVE ZACKY VENGEANCE!!!

If Zacky is so hot, tell him to take off his jacket, maybe his mother over-dressed him for the weather conditions.\n\nNow if he really is on fire, put him out outside where he cannot do any damages to anything valuable.

Plagued with the 7 deadly Sins...Can you name them? Can you honestly answer your part in them? Here is where Humanity runs against a Spiritual Brick Wall,Greed is one of them,which to date has left almost 2/3 of the Worlds population in Poverty and Ignorance.Should we feel guilty as a Nation?Is the possibility of one World Government a solution?  Dispair is the Sin of Pride...Do you feel this anxiety?

I for one do not.  The world is a nasty place these days and the opinion i have is that our government is full of people who have no morals and no values.  Pride is the only thing that seems to be shaping this world and the leaders of our country and others.They are only out for themselves and have no idea or choose not to see the needs and wants of its people.  If leaders of country's around the world including this one!!, focused on morals, values and had any humanity and will to do what is actually the RIGHT thing to do this world would become an better place.  There will always be some evil, that cannot be avoided.  I only worry for future generations,  they must reap what we have sewn. A one world government is in my opinion only a possibility in fairy tales and science fiction novels

I am the lead guitarist in a symphonic metal band called Yet Still I Remain. We have been together about a year and a half we have recorded a demo tape. Our style is hard rock and metal like Seether and Metallica with more symphonic things like evanescense and Cradle of Filth. However, we're wonderig, in a world obsessed with rap and R'n'B is there a place for a metal band?

There is always a place for something new! If you came out with a CD i'd buy it! I'm always into something new! I love country and Rock, Your style (evenescense) I really like that kind of stuff! Not so much Rap it gives me a headache sometimes! If you've come out with a demo tape that is pretty cool but if you feel your good and you get good reviews then go for it! Try it! Nothing says that you can't try! You tried to make a band and you have one now don't you? Good Luck and hope you make it! I'll be sure to get your CD =) Just fill me in when it comes out if I don't see your music videos lol =)


me and my dad does not get along at all he never talks to me and when he does he tells me how sorry of a person iam and it really hards me he never tells me that he loves me and my mom is getting the same way i feel so alone some times i have ask him way he feels this way and he never gives me a answer so i dont know what to do anymore just leave it like it is or what PLS HELP !!

If you have an adult close to you, that you trust, you need to confide in this person.  Or perhaps an older sibling, a teacher, a school counselor.  Anyone that you feel you can talk to...and they can speak with your parents. Sounds as tho your parents are under some very strong stress for some unknown reason. Beacuse neither one of them should be treating you, like you say they are.


he is my online friend and were a good Buddy after sometimes since we first meet online he offered some help, money of course and I invsted it in  a business, He is after of my good future so when I told him that I'm planning to continue my sutdies he supported me. And now I'm asking him to lend me some money and now I guess it made a gap for our friendship pls help.

Money will ruin any friendship.  I'll tell you this, I wouldn't lend anyone that I met on line money.  It just isn't smart.  \nWrite him back and apologize for asking for the loan and putting him out like that.


I sold a townhouse I had financed through the credit union around April 2004.

They have not updated their file to indicate that you no longer own real estate. That is why you received that notice of pre-approval. Most CU are unmanned and you have 1 person working in different departments. I work with one CU that has a member base of 11K members and only have 20 people working to service that base.


Because it doesn't seem to have an ascii code.

It has 2-bytes code, so you need to examine two consequent bytes. It is not C++ specific, it is PC-specific.

I'm thinking about majoring in this field next year. I have a general idea of what it is and it sounds real interesting, but I wanted to hear from some experts. I'd like to hear what the theoretical/practical application of the science is, and if any of you guys or girls are practicing actuaries, what you really do. What this job can lead to, What's rewarding about it, opportunities, etc.

Actuaries are the mathematicians in the insurance industry. We use mathematics and statistics to estimate the premium to charge for an insurance deal or to estimate how much to set aside to pay for claims.  It takes eight or nine difficult exams to become a fully credentialed actuary in the US.  People who pass all the exams are called Fellows (even females), and will do pretty well financially.

The concept of time, mutation and natural selection working together to create higher forms of life seem to counter the law of entropy.  Physical laws of our universe are proven facts.  Evolution is a theory.  The truth is that we have never witnessed a dog giving birth to a cat.  That sounds ridiculous, but that is what evolution basically says.\n\nWhat do you say?

Obviously you dont know how things work.\n\nCheck this out, a fish cannot give birth to a different species fish. What if a mutation occurs and the fish has a extra fin? Due to natural selection that fish is better suited to the environment, and mates more and the mutation becomes more often, vwooleh, we have a new species of fish assuming the other just pure breeds or it has migrated away.\n\nWe all started very basic, that basic thing mutates and mutates into say 10 basic things, those basic things become more complex and so those 10 basic things multiply into 100 more complex things each only breeding within its own mutation.
