At the bottom of my spine I can feel the bones crunching together, not always just occasionally, and it doesn't hurt, but I'm bothered that it will hurt in the future. Will it?

Ouch! It sounds like you might have dislocated a disc and it's moving around in your spine now. It might not hurt but it might be causing damage to your body, so you should definitely go see an orthopedist as soon as you can. He will know what kind of treatment to give you. It might be some sort of exercise, some device to put on your back, or maybe even minor surgery (but if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't sound serious so don't worry!)

Photo Editors I can do:\n\nPhotoPlus, http://freeserifsoftware.com/\n\nPaint.NET, http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ (Probably easier to use than PhotoPlus but it lacks a few advanced features such as drop shadows but everything else is there including, layers, levels, cloning and effects)\n\nPicasa, http://picasa.google.com/ acquired by Google this is a simple editing tool to fix red eye and crop (I'm not sure what else it does) but I use it to keep track of all the images on my PC.\n\nThose are my favorites but just so you have some more options check out Irfanview, http://www.irfanview.com/ and Ultimate Paint, http://www.ultimatepaint.com/ (that one is not free).\n\nThose are free (with the one exception), there might be some that you can pay for but why would you when you can get these for free.  I don't know of any easy to use video program but you can check out Windows Movie Maker (it's free) but it lacks many advanced features available in commercial packages, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx


I'd love to hear about other people who have experienced anything paranormal or anyone who has experienced any past life memories.

Interesting question!  I am really looking forward to the answers on this one.\n\nI used to think I was having past life memories.  I was having a deja vu-type experience very often, like every few hours.  I would remember a memory that wasn't my own.  To this day I'm not sure whats happening when it occurs (still pretty much daily) but I'm sure its just some wires getting crossed in my brain somehow.


I am 15 years old I had another question on the same subject a couple days ago.  But I have this HUGE crush on a guy in one of my classes.  I want to talk to him so badly but I get shy.  What should I do?  Oh he is on the baseball team too and he is really nice and yeah.  But I just get so shy.  What should I do?

Would it help if you had a friend with you to help encourage the conversation and avoid any awkward pauses.


I am agriculturalist, want to do bussiness

You did not say from what country you are, and where you are thinking of selling mangoes. One thing to consider is the food regulations of the importing country. \n\nIn the United States for example, mangoes from Mexico dominate the market but better mangoes from countries such as Philippines can hardly penetrate the market. \n\nResearch the food laws and importing regulations of the market you want to get into, as well as the proper method for shipping such a perishable product. Then prepare a marketing plan. Go to Mplans.com http://www.mplans.com for tips and examples of marketing plans

I was a nun on South England, around 1175 :)\nwhat about you?

actually I found out a lot\n\ncome to find out I was both a Sioux and a Cherokee.  I was also a Mayan. (Thought that was interesting, but explained my desire to go to Central America)\n\nAlso, I lived in France. My best friends mother one time called me some name and I responded without even knowing she didnt say my real name.  She looked into it (she was a psychic) and told me that she was my mother and thats why we met this time around.\n\nUm..oh yea, I was a pirate I was told.  Guess that explains my love for boats and the ocean.\n\nPretty cool...if you believe in this stuff.  I do and I was very interested and excited.\n\nNow, if you really want to see what you believe in, I was also told that I once lived at Atlantis and I was a leader, however because I wasnt very patient and got angry quickly, I wasnt a leader for long.  Eh well.


I know federal income tax must be filed because federal income tax has been withheld but I'm not sure about the state being no state tax has been withheld by employer. Oh by the way i'm talking about New York state.

The answer depends on your income, not your withholding or refund or anything else. On the first page of your tax booklet it should say something like "Who has to file?" or "Filing Requirements" If your income falls into the guidelines you have to file a return, period.  Every other consideration as to who is claiming who as a dependendant or how much you may or may not owe or whether or not you got a refund last year is secondary.  The fact that you are a student has nothing to do with anything regarding the amount of your income.

I came across two by Thomas Jefferson:  \n\n1) "A more beautiful or precious morsel of ethics* I have never seen; it is a document in proof that I am a real Christian; that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus." -- Pg 142, "Lives of the Presidents of the United States", by John S.

“Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant and combine our selves together…”  William Bradford (The Mayflower Compact)\n\nWe, greatly commending, and graciously accepting of, their Desires for the Furtherance of so noble a Work, which may, by the Providence of Almighty God, hereafter tend to the Glory of his Divine Majesty, in propagating of Christian Religion to such People, as yet live in Darkness and miserable Ignorance of the true Knowledge and Worship of God…\nInstructions for the Virginia Colony (1606) \nLastly and chiefly the way to prosper and achieve good success is to make yourselves all of one mind for the good of your country and your own, and to serve and fear God the Giver of all Goodness, for every plantation which our Heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted out.

I have a desktop computer that is about 10 months old, it is a good computer 512mb ram, 160GB hard drive.  I am thinking of getting another computer, a wireless router, and going wireless for both computers.  How can I tell if the computer I have is wireless ready, and if it is not can I leave my current computer hocked up to my DSL Cable modem and just use wireless for my new computer.

None of the Desktop computers are wireless ready, unless you specifically order them that way. You will need to install PCI cards for one. I would recommend the Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter with Speed Booster (Model #: WMP54GS, Web page: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416826820&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper ). Then, for your other computer, get a Wireless Broadband Router. I recommend the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with Speed Booster (Model #: WRT54GS Web page: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416825841&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper ).\n\nInstall your PCI card on the computer which doesn't have an internet access point close by. Then, on the computer which is currently connected to the internet, connect the internet to the Router, and the Router to the computer. Your computer with the router attached will have normal internet access. The computer with the PCI card will connect through a wireless network titled Linksys. Once you connect to this network, you will have internet access on both computers. If you don't get it working, call Linksys customer service, which is quite helpful.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nP.S. Don't go wireless for both computers--sometimes it will fail, and you won't have internet access on either computer. However, if one is wired and one isn't, most of the time you will have internet access on both computers, but if not, you at least have it on one! (Unless, of course, something goes wrong with your ISP)

I need some ideas for a 14th birthday party (coming up at the end of April) for me. I usually go bowling with my friends, but I want to do something more fun and different. I might invite a few boys, so I can't really have a sleepover. I just need ideas of where it should be and what to do!

Go to a nice michelin star restaurant and then a movie.. although it might get a little pricey per person, its old enough to be fun and young enough to be appropriate.. you only turn 14 once!\n\nor you could also go do something fun like go to the zoo if its a nice day.. or go out on a boat if you have water around u (theres a yacht club near my house that has a big dinner cruise ship on it thats really great for parties).. what else can I think of???\n\nyou can always check out if theres any cool events like concerts or car shows in your area at that time?\n\nmaybe laser tag or roller skating??\n\naite thats it im out of ideas...\n\nthe luau was a great idea too tho.. my friend and i had a luau for our grade 8 grad and it was awesome.. we had (parentally supervised) backyard fires on those poles that u can get at canadian tire that keep away mosquitos.. lots of hawaiian food and exotic fruits.. a fake pig.. grass/straw skirts for the girls, leis for everyone and we even learned some hula dancing to teach everyone.. the funnest part was that we got this huge bedsheet draped on the back of my house and rented a projector and watched a movie when it got a little darker.. we had like sheets spread out on the floor and fires n blankets to keep us warm! it was awesome :)\n\ntheres so much you could do! take a couple of your best friends and go to the party stores around you and gudness knows what you guys will come up with to plan!!

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,\nWhat so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?\nWhose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,\nO'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?\nAnd the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,\nGave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.\nO say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave\nO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?\nOn the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,\nWhere the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,\nWhat is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,\nAs it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?\nNow it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,\nIn full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:\n'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave\nO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics were written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, a 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland by British ships in Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. It became well known as a patriotic song to the tune of a popular English song, "To Anacreon in Heaven." It was recognized for official use by the United States Navy (1889) and by the White House (1916), and was made the national anthem by a Congressional resolution on March 3, 1931. Although the song has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today.\n\nOn September 3, 1814, Key and John S. Skinner of Baltimore, Maryland, an American prisoner exchange agent, set sail from Baltimore aboard the sloop HMS Minden flying a flag of truce approved by James Madison. Their goal was to secure the release of Dr. William Beanes, the elderly and popular town physician of Upper Marlboro, a friend of Key's who had been captured in Washington, DC and had been accused of harboring British deserters. Key and Skinner boarded the British flagship HMS Tonnant on September 7 and spoke with General Robert Ross and Admiral Alexander Cochrane over dinner, while they also discussed war plans. In the beginning, Ross and Cochrane refused to release Beanes, but relented after Key and Skinner showed them letters written by wounded British prisoners praising Beanes and other Americans for their kind treatment.\n\nBecause Key and Skinner had heard much of the preparations for the Baltimore attack, they were held captive until after the battle, first aboard HMS Surprise, and later back onto the Minden sloop, waiting behind the British fleet. On September 13, at 7 a.m., the British fleet attacked the fort and the Battle of Baltimore was under way. Bombardment of the fort continued until 1 a.m. on September 14, after which some British gunboats attempted to slip past the fort and effect a landing in a cove to the west of it, but they were turned away by gunners at nearby Fort Covington, the city's last line of defense. During the rainy night, Key had witnessed the bombardment and observed that the fort's smaller "storm flag" continued to fly, but once the shelling stopped and it grew dark, he would not know how the battle turned out until dawn. By then, the storm flag had been lowered and the larger main flag had been raised.\n\n \nFrancis Scott Key's original manuscript copy of his Star-Spangled Banner poem. It is now on display at the Maryland Historical Society.Key was inspired by the American victory and the sight of the enormous American flag flying triumphantly above the fort. This flag, with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, is today on display in the National Museum of American History, a part of the Smithsonian Institution. This flag was restored in 1914 by Amelia Fowler, and again in 1998 as part of an ongoing conservation program.\n\nThe next day, Key wrote a poem aboard the ship on the back of a letter he had in his pocket, continuing to write during the sail. After being released with Skinner in Baltimore at twilight on September 16, Key finished the poem at the Indian Queen Hotel where he was staying, entitling it "Defence of Fort McHenry".\n\nKey gave his poem to his brother-in-law, Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, who recognized that the poem fit the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven", a popular melody dating from the mid-1760s, written in London by John Stafford Smith. Nicholson took the poem to a printer. These broadside copies, the song's first known printing, were printed anonymously in Baltimore on September 17 — of these, two known copies still exist.\n\nOn September 20, both the Baltimore Patriot and The American printed the song, with the note "Tune: Anacreon in Heaven." The song quickly became popular, with 17 newspapers from Georgia to New Hampshire printing it. Soo

I have the EXACT same thing!!!  I'm not 100% positive, but from my experience, what you have is probably only a viral infection, which means antibiotics will not do anything for it!!

Okay i was told when i went to visit my husband in prison at the Coffield Unit in Tx that there was some kind of package that you can get from the liabrary that tells you step by step how to write the parole board! I'am not having any luck at all. I have called every liabray in DFW and no one knows what i'am talking about.. Can someone help me plz!

Contact the state Parole Board.  Ask them when someone is eligible for a review by the Board.  Writing the Board does not speed it up.  Review by the Board is set by the laws of your state.  He might have to serve a portion of his sentence before being reviewed by the Board.  The Board would normally notify the inmate of an upcoming review.\n\nThe Law Library at the Superior Court might have the forms.  But again, unless he has to have served a portion of his sentence to qualify for a review by the Board, it does nothing to write.

the solution  actual yield 71.65g/l of AgCl

Find the weight of AgCl per mole, divid it into 71.65 g/l\nwill give u the Molar concentration of Cl, Ag atoms.\nOnce you know the Molar concentration of Cl, it is the same\nas the Molar concentration of HCl, since thats the only source of Cl atom.  \nPH 3 is same as 0.001 moles of H+, from both the HCl and HNO3.\n\nAg = 107.9 grams per mole\nCl = 35.5 grams per mole\nAgCl = 107.9 + 35.5 = 143.4 grams per mole\n\nThere is an error in this question, the acid concentration\nis mostly likely to be 50% of each.\n\nBut a PH 3, or 0.001 mole of acid cant not produce 71.65 g/l of AgCl, assuming you are adding such as AgNO3 to the acids.  Otherwise, you did not give enough information to solve this.\n\nYour might have mean 0.07165 grams/liter of AgCl\nThis will give the answer of 50% of each acid, or 0.0005 mole each.\n\n0.07165 / 143.4 = 0.0005 mole per liter of Cl atoms\nwhich is the same as the mole per liter of HCl

I know we hear about the women who suffer from this psychological disease, but I've yet to hear about a man with this affliction. Are there any?

yep they do but it is fairly rare. Read this windrider for more details.\n\n\nAnorexia was first described in males by both Morton (57) and Gull (58). Anorexia in males accounted for approximately six percent of cases seen in an eating disorder clinic (38,59). Anorexia may be underdiagnosed because many physicians, as well as the anorectics themselves, are unaware that this condition occurs in both sexes. \n\nThe mean age of onset of male anorexia has been reported ranging from as young as 17 years in a British series by Crisp and Burns (47) to 24 years (38,60). Crisp found that the illness was present an average of three and one-half years and that most patients were mildly obese (127.3 percent of ideal body weight, IBW) prior to the onset of illness. Minimal weight dropped to 67.3 percent of IBW (60) during the acute phase of illness. \n\nApparently contrasting socioeconomic groups of origin for male anorectics may represent specific populations, seen in various programs. Andersen and Mickalide (48) found a high socioeconomic group at Johns Hopkins, while Herzog (38) in Boston and Verdereycken and Van den Broucke (59) in Belgium found an even socioeconomic distribution. \n\nClinical manifestations of male anorexia were reported in several series to be similar to female anorexia (43,47,49,59,61,62,63). However, in a minority of reports (51,64) differences were noted; patients were from lower socioeconomic groups, feared competition, and were not successful either academically or in their vocation. \n\nClinical manifestations of two male anorectics reveal differences in presentation from female counterparts. Male patients are usually more active, have more sexual anxiety, have fewer bulimic episodes, with less vomiting or laxative abuse, and, on a personality inventory, indicated more preoccupation with food and weight, more achievement orientation, and more physical complaints (65). \n\nEndocrine changes (diminished testosterone level) in male anorectics may have a role in diminishing conscious sexual concern or conflict, which may be congruent with inhibitory physiological defenses. \n\nYates et al. (66) compared male marathon runners to anorectics and found many similar sociocultural and personality characteristics. Runners were found to have a bizzare preoccupation with food, and even when they would achieve a lean body mass of 95 percent with only five percent body fat, they would aim for four percent body fat. Many have lost greater than 25 percent of their original weight and show a relentless pursuit of thinness or a disturbance of body image. Yates suggests male runners are searching for identity. She raises the question, "Do anorexia nervosa in females and obligatory running in males share a common psychopathology?" \n\nMale anorectic characteristics include perfectionism and obsession (48). Vandereycken and Van den Broucke (59) noted a high incidence of schizoid/introversion features (30 percent) as well as obsessional (29 percent), passive/dependent (15 percent) and anti-social features (18 percent). A comparison to female anorectics showed a higher percentage of undifferentiated-immature psychological structure (30 percent versus four percent), hysterical/histrionic features (25 percent versus four percent), and anti-social features (18 percent versus one percent), but an equal number of schizoid/introversion traits (28 percent). \n\nThe etiology of male anorexia is unclear, but Crisp and Burns (47) hypothesize that it is related to major gender identity problems in the premorbid personality, since the male desire is to be bigger and stronger as compared to the female preference for slimness. Herzog (38) found male anorexic patients experiencing sexual isolation, sexual inactivity, and conflicted homosexuality. He posited that the cultural pressure on the homosexual male to be thin and attractive places him at a greater risk for eating disorders. Undefined intrapsychic factors may promote an association

Two police officers pull me over and took my tags off my car where I was sitting at with my two children in the back set.The officer that pull me said that my tags was revoke and they was not. Anyway at the end result the brought my tags back to me and said they punch the wrong tag number in the system. To that my opion is that if they punck the wrong tag number in it will not match the regerstation card which he had.They left me with no choice to drive home without tags on the car help me understand please . Also the police never got directly behind me to pull me they waited till I got to my destionation to pull me. I call the police department to get the understanding and got no where and since they did end up bringing my tags to me shoul I leave it alone.I have went to Legal Aide and they said it is nothing they can do. HELP

Depending on the size of the city or town, you could go to the mayor's office to complain...But if Legal Aide said they cant do anything, then chances are your options are limited


Does anyone know who is on the MLB logo?

According to Major League Baseball:\n"The MLB logo: No one player has ever been identified as the model of the 1969 Major League Baseball batter logo."


With bible time line, each major subject, each story, \nChrist coming and ascent, the prophecy time line, Christ\nsecond coming, bible books and brief content knowledge or\nover all knowledge, Christ major theme, what is worldly,\nSatan in all of this, angels, holy angels, any more? \nHow Much education at this?

Read 1st John 2:15. To be worldly is to accept & live by the society around you including most religion. This comes from taking what you've been taught for granted not ever proving it for yourself. The opposite of worldly would be Godly. This website can answer you better than I can www.tomorrowsworld.org.


A friend of mine wrote my E-mail address in a ladies bathroom wall while on holiday in Texas. Since then I've had dozens of anonymous, dirty and obscene E-mails from american women, some including nude photographs. So my questions are these...\n\nHave you ever sent an erotic or sexual E-mail over the internet? \nWas it anonymous or to a guy you met online? \nWould you ever consider sending such things if you were sure that the recipient would never know your real identity?

i have but it was to some one i had already known years before


When I was young it used to bother me a great deal. Everything felt like a threat to me, and his attention to any other female felt like I was being compared and found wanting.\n\nWith age I have found that all people look at other people all the time. And I have learned that men and women are so different that when a man looks at women, it is not the same as when women look at men.\n\nMen react to women in much the same way that in a crowded store, when a child calls out,"Mommy!", all of the women turn to look. It isn't about being attached to them, or even attracted to them. It is a deeply ingrained reaction based on hormones and experience. \n\nWomen have spent a lot of time re-training men to curb this reaction, but I found that if I could become accepting of it (as long as it was simple looking), my man was happier, felt stronger and more loved for who he genuinely was. This translated into him loving me more for not judging him, and he felt happier to accept me as I was. And it just kept getting better! \n\nSo relax. He is a man and that is what you want him to be, isn't it?


In July of 2003 I received a careless driving/driving with an invalid license citation. I called to inquire about the fine and found out it was about $700.00. I didn't have the money at the time so I did nothing. In Nov. 2005 I called again the fine was $715.00 I had the money but I had family problems so I had to use the money elsewhere. I inquired again in Feb. 2006 after I received my income tax and the fine increased to $1350.00 and i was told if it wasn't paid in 30 days the warrant stands and not to call again. I want to resolve this and get my license back but i feel this is unfair. Is there something I can do or can anyone tell me  when the ticket will no longer be valid? Or is there anyone who can help with this thank you,\n Bill

you could probably go to court talk to a judge and work out some sort of payment plan and get it paid off in a year.

I think that they will do much better than last season, have an average above .500 and if they can be successful, I think that they could make the National League Wild Card or become the National League East Division Champions.

They were very surprising to me last year. Chad Cordero will convert over 50 saves this year, and if they give Alfonso Soriano what he wants, he will get around his career high last year, 104 RBI's. Their starting pitching lineup is good, but I will just say this. When Livan Hernandez and Russ Ortiz are not pitching, the batting must do the work. My Washington Nationals prediction:3rd in the NL East, with a 87-75 record. Playoff birth will come soon. Please give me more of your team prediction questions. Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

all i have seen is a spray on version of oxytocin i think it might be a scam will the product work to lower my social phobia

As far as lowering your social phobia is concerned, alcohol tends to do a good job of that for most people. Plus it's available at every grocery store and won't get you killed as long as you just drink beer and don't drive drunk.


Was Jesus a zombie?  I mean, he did rise from the grave.  Maybe god was like, "oops...got a zombie down there...better get him up here!"\nI know, It's stupid.  Come on people...gimmie a break.  These are the stupid things that pop in my head.  It's a crazy crazy world up in there.

I tried to give up Zombies for lent... Not doing so well am I? Nah... Looks like he was something close... I'm thinking hybred. His father was God and all so he had all the good in him.

In what ways are server-class SCSI components higher performance and more\nreliable than typical ATA units?

They usually have higher spindle speed, have more cache, are rated for higher MTBF (Mean time before failure).\n\nAlso, usually, the disk I/O is handled and offloaded to the SCSI controller.  This keeps the CPU more resources for other things.\n\nSCSI has higher transfer speed.  SCSI is capable of up to 360MBps and you can daisy chain more than 2 devices per channel.  Also, SCSI devices can be external devices.\n\nAlso, SATA's NCQ (native command queing) was not avilable to other ATA drives but was originally used on SCSI devices.

I don't know why anyone gives a crap about dating. If you want to be single, you want to be single! No one should pressure you to date!

I had more than a few bad relationships with both girls and guys (you get the picture...*lol*) so I decided about a month ago that I LOVE being single. Sure, I've had my urges here and there, but then I remember my wonderful friends, who've never let me down, and I realize that I don't need anyone--guy or girl--to make me happy. You know? That's my theory, and I've been really happy because of it. :)


instead of her phone #? that way it seems casual and i wont have to call lol

If you like her, go ahead. But it can sort of by a cop-out to ask for an email or IM. You could maybe start out that way, but step it up when you get more comfortable with her--a phone call means a lot more!

I have almost 3 years with my boyfriend at first it was all cute,talk everyday, miss each other when we were not together,all cute he is my first boyfriend and the first guy a ever kiss,at first my parent did not wanted for me to date but i still be with him behind there backs, i got in trouble sometimes but i really did not care then my boyfriend finally talk to my dad about us datting. my dad said that it was ok aslong as he goes to the house to see me. then after all was okay for a couple of weeks then he started to act really different like he was my dad telling me what to do and sence i dont take that from him,thats why we fight alot then i want to talk about it and he dosent, and im the one calling him,trying to solve the all the problem,im getting to the point were i just can not take it no more..... WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!!!!!!

Your own happiness is the most important thing. You can't make a person say or do what you want them to do. Try not talking about the problem, but find a resolution without revisiting the past. Guys are stubborn, don't keep having the same conversation, it only makes it worst. Just let it take its course, either he will come around or he won't, but you being happy should be the most important thing to you. You are young and guys come and go.


I don't know how to do these problems & need them explained to me. How do I find y=x  & how do I graph it? How about y=1/3x? Please help! Thank you!

If you have an equation that is Y=__X-__ or Y=__X+__, then the second space is the Y-intercept and the first space is the slope.\n\nSo, for your equation, Y=3X-5, 5 is the Y-intercept, and 3 is the slope.  The Y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis, which is 5.  So, on the Y axis (which is X=0), count up 5 spots and that is your intercept --> (0,5).\n\nThen you have to use the slope, which remember is the number in the space before the X --> 3.  3 is the same as the fraction 3/1, and in the fraction of a slope, the top (numerator) is how many spaces up or down you move from the original point, and the bottom number is how many spaces you move left or right from the original point.  So, your first point being (0,5), move up 3 and to the right 1 (up and right because both 3 and 1 are positive).  You should be at (3,6).  \n\nMaking an input/output chart makes plotting your graph a lot easier.  Make a chart with two rows, the top row being X and the bottom row being Y.  To the left of your chart, label X and label Y.  (So that you remember your slope, I would write X --> 3, Y --> 1).  Put your intercept point (0,5) in the chart: 0 to the right of X and 5 to the right of Y.  Now you can see that you just add the slope!  0+3=3 and 5+1=6.  So, your next point is (3,6)!  From there, keep going to the right, adding as you go.  Add another 3 to 3 and another 1 to 6.\n\nGood luck!


I'm buying a home without a real estate agent.  Need some advise on whether I need a real-estate lawyer to review my home contract.  I don't think the mortgage lender will provide this for me, or will they?  Advice needed.

The mortgage lender will not provide an attorney for you.  If there is an attorney at the closing, be assured that unless you signed a retainer agreement hiring that attorney to represent you, that attorney is representing someone else.\n\nThe answer to whether you need an attorney is "it depends."  (Sorry, but true.)  If you are questioning ANYTHING about the transaction, I would advise hiring an attorney for a flat fee (as opposed to an hourly rate) to review the paperwork prior to closing (if it's a basic buyer/seller transaction, reviewing the paperwork should not take more than a couple of hours, at most) and possibly accompany you to the closing.  Again, if it is a simple transaction, the closing should not take longer than a half-hour or so.  You can very likely get legal representation for that amount of time (two hours to review documents, plus accompanying you t the closing) for around $1000.00 or so.  It seems like a lot of money, but considering what you're paying for your home, I think it would be a good investment.


I hate to be blunt!  Actually, this time I would love to be blunt!  First of all, you sound like and idiot yourself!  You can't even put a sentence together grammatically, really!  So this is what you need to do: get a gun, or many guns, shoot the boss, shoot everybody else at your job, then do us all a favor and shoot yourself!  Ha ha ha!  This is a joke, by all means!  It just might be the best answer that you weren't looking for!  Hope it helps to relieve the stress, at least temporarily!


im in a new relationship and its long distance as in a 2 hrs boat ride or 15mins flight but weekends are sometimes out do to both of us working shift.when we do get together he hardlly makes a conversation not that he doesn't try is just i guess that im acustom to communication a lot of it  i guess i have to show him as i was taught at one point in time i some times wonder if he really likes me and want this to work

Maybe you should be asking yourself if you two really should be in a relationship. I mean if there really isn't any communication you should rethink your relationship.


I took all the money except 500.00 and used the rest to pay bills. i've got a court date in May for spousal support and child support. What do i do in the meantime if he doesn't send any money?

Do they migrate or hibernate? What are they called as babies? How do they protect themselves? How do they travel from place to place?

Harp seals breathe through their mouth and nose.  I have seen them go under for 30 minutes, but usually when they "play" next to your kayak they are under for 10 minutes and then pop up just off your bow.  With their head out of the water, they then rotate 360 degrees looking for dangers.\n\nThey protect themselves by being fast underwater swimmers.\n\nWe call the babies pups.\n\nTravel is a swim, waddle or hitchhiking on an ice flow.


I have two kids. last year my boyfriend and I agreed that he would claim the kids. The tax preparer also put down that I was also claiming the kids. I just realized that my tax forms from last year say that for the next ten years I would not be able to file for earned income credit. Is this legal and is there any way for me to dispute it. Also keep in mind that this was solely the tax preparers decision.

Sorry, you have no recourse. Even if it was your tax preparers idea, you are responsible for checking the tax return before you sign it and mail it. The same child(ren) cannot be claimed on 2 different income tax returns and you knew your boyfriend was claiming the kids, so you should have told the tax preparer that they had already been claimed on anothers tax return.


He dates a pig. He eats flies. And he lives in a swamp.\nYet he is a super star!!!

You're laughing cuz you've done it before!  You're a freak! You're a freak!!  No I used to do it, I used to come out of my girlfriend's bathroom naked "Look at me! I'm just like you!"  I was always afraid that one day she'd be like "Oh yeah!  *WAAAAHHHHH* I'm just like YOU!!!!  I'm just like you"  ssshhhhhh shhhhhhh

She initiated the get-together.  We have never seen each other outside of school/work.  It will be just the two of us.  But she used the word "hang out"

I've been there and I know the confusion. My advice is don't worry about whether it is a date or not, just have a good time. Don't sweat any details that you might worry about if it was supposed to be a date. For example, if there is a third person there, that's cool. If you're interested in her, the best thing you can do is show that you can have a good time without stressing about things. \n\nGood luck & have fun!


i have talked to him about it and he acts like im crazy so what do i do?i would just like a little money to keep in my pocket sometimes

if you work that should be a no brainer, but if he is the bread winner there still shouldn't a problem with u hav'n money in your pocket remember you are his wife, partner, equal not his child.\n\nI also think he does that b cuz he want to control you, sounds like underneath it all u r really the strong one and it scares him for u to have some control!!!


i think it is because that there are air inside the ice

Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water, meaning it has fewer molecules per volume. This is because of the Hydrogen bonds. In fact, while other substances contract when solidified, water expands. That's why it's less dense, and not because it has air inside. Furthermore, when the temperature decreases and reaches 4 degrees Celsius, every water molecule is Hydrogen-bonded to 4 other molecules near it. Then, they form into a crystal lattice structure, and it holds them further apart.

Why are we not suposed to have sex in our teens when we are most capable of doing it at that age?

Thats a really good question. I am 26, and I had to ponder this one for a second. Of course I don't know if it gets better in your 30's or not, but I do understand that for women, it is a sexual peak (which I am looking forward to). As for teen sex, there is good and bad. The great thing about teen sex is that there is such a sense of urgency as well as the fact that everything is so, so new (assuming that you haven't been having sex since your pre-teens). Every kiss and touch is heightend by the newness of it all. But, the bad thing is the lack of experience on both sides as well as the fact that young women can often experience uncomfortable pain from lack of being streched (for lack of a better word) As for me, my 20's is by far the best for sex!! I have much more of an appreciation for not only the emotional, passionate side of sex, but the physical side. As you get older you become much more aware and comfortable of your body and what feels good to you. Hope this helps.


Well, Sulfuric acid is a diprotic acid. The first proton is a strong acid, and the second proton is a fairly strong weak acid.\n\nBecause it's a strong acid, there will be 18 M of H3O+ ions.\n\n-log(18) = -1.255\n\nTo the correct number of significant figures, the pH is -1.26.\n\nEDIT: dr_futuredentist is very wrong. The second hydrogen\ndoes not dissociate fully at all.

Silicones, or polysiloxanes, are inorganic polymers consisting of a silicon-oxygen backbone (...-Si-O-Si-O-Si-O-...) with side groups attached to the silicon atoms. Certain organic side groups can be used to link two or more of these -Si-O- backbones together. By varying the -Si-O- chain lengths, side groups, and crosslinking, silicones can be synthesized into a wide variety of materials. They can vary in consistency from liquid to gel to rubber to hard plastic. The most common type is linear polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS. The second largest group of silicone materials is based on silicone resins, which are formed by branched and cage-like oligosiloxanes.\n\n\n\nNeoprene is the DuPont Chemical trade name for a family of synthetic rubbers based on polychloroprene. Neoprene was invented by DuPont scientists after Dr. Elmer K. Bolton of DuPont laboratories attended a lecture by Fr. Julius Arthur Nieuwland, a professor of chemistry at the University of Notre Dame. Fr. Nieuwland's research was focused on acetylene chemistry and during the course of his work he produced divinyl acetylene, a jelly which firms into an elastic compound similar to rubber when passed over sulfur dichloride. After DuPont purchased the patent rights from the university, Wallace Carothers of DuPont took over commercial development of Nieuwland's discovery in collaboration with Nieuwland himself. DuPont focused on monovinyl acetylene and, upon the suggestion of Nieuwland, reacted the substance with hydrogen chloride gas, manufacturing chloroprene. Polychloroprene is the polymer of chloroprene, the synthetic rubber known as Neoprene.\n\nNeoprene (originally called Duprene) was the first mass-produced synthetic rubber compound. It is used in a wide variety of environments, such as in wetsuits, electrical insulation, and car fan belts. Its chemical inertness makes it well suited for industrial applications such as gaskets, hoses, and corrosion-resistant coatings. It can also be used as a base for adhesives. Neoprene is used for noise isolation (transformer installation). Its springy consistency makes it notoriously difficult to fold when in sheet form. Neoprene can also be used as padding in external metal cases to protect the contents while allowing a snug fit. Neoprene is also used as a contrast in some jewelry designs.


Then more players would be willing to participate because they wouldn't need to be preparing for the season and they have the whole winter for injuries to heal.

Might be more willing in November, but how many would already be injured and unable to play because of a long season ... or would be burned out because they have been playing for eight months.\n\nI like the extended All-Star Break in July idea. To make it easier on MLB players, you could even shorten the season in those years back to the old 154 game season to make room for the WBC. It is only every three years, so it's not like its an annual dilema.\n\nHopefully, they'll get it all figured out by 2009.


If you're good at guessing the names of songs with hardly any words to help, this is for you!

Have I just been misprouncing Nurse shark all these years?

Sadly, yes. It is Nurse shark, not nerf/nurf shark.\n\nBelieve it or not, it is not an uncommon mistake.  I think for kids in grade school they know what a shark is and a nurse, and it is hard to associate the two and somehow they get confused. So maybe it goes back second grade for you. \n\nBut alas, it is a Ginglymostoma cirratum aka nurse shark.

I'm looking for ideas on a good country song to play at my wedding when the Mom's and Grandmothers are being walked out.  Any suggestions?

"I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman\n\nor\n\n"I Swear" by John Michael Montgomery \n\nBoth songs are classics.


By my fellow classmates, yeah. Never by teachers.\n\n\nWith the classmate issue... by ninth grade I realized that if I didn't stand up for myself, highschool would be four miserable years of memories... and that I'd be a "victim" for the rest of my life, never standing up for myself.  I finally "stood up" to (Threatend is more like it - I'm ashamed to say) the main instigator of my misery and was never mistreated again.  In fact my friend base by, the time of graduation, was quite large.\n\nNaturally, this taught me that it's okay to stand up for myself.... and that people only mistreat me because I LET them.  And I NEVER tolerate abuse (physical, verbal) from people around me, either toward me or toward others.\n\nI'm not sure if this is what you were looking for.  Hope it helped.


In fact,Macbeth was deticated to King James.

why do ppl hate preps so much? i mean they take care of themselves and get soo much crap for how they dress. arent all the alternative kids against acring about what you wear? well then they shouldnt give crap about clothes. ughhh anyone who calls or lables someone something then hates them for it is sooo stereotypical. comments? anything? pleaseeeeee!!!! i need help with this.

my view:\n\nNO ONE should be labeled, at all.  No person fits into one label.  The labels themselves are highly stereotypical, and really not fair to the labelees.  A "prep" may have a bit of "nerd" and "punk" and "jock" and whatever else there is.  You can't just define someone by what they choose to wear.\n\nMy high school was great, because people didn't label like that.  Sure, there were the normal cliches and whatnot, but anybody could talk to anybody, and it was okay.  It sickens me to see these movies and hear about places where there's almost a class system.  It's ridiculous.

trying too get payed for a court judgements person has gone on too wellfare or off the grid cash under table

you'll never get paid, the only people who attach tax returns is IRS, child support, and federal student loans. All the court judgement is good for is to go back to court again if he didn't keep the judgement. and if he is under the table or on welfare, what taxes will you get?


Are military officers really necessary?\n\nThe whole system came about when there was a giant education gap in the country.  Now everyone has about the same education level.\n\nOfficers account for 12% of the personnel, but 35% of the pay goes to them.\n\nWhy not just have a lot more enlisted ranks, like 15, instead of 9.

Enlisted men and women are trained to work, officers are trained to lead. That way everyone can perfom their task more efficiently. We need leaders, espcecially in times of life and death. The most effective militaries have had great leaders, both good and evil. The reason they are paid more, is that they have incredible amounts of responsibility. Imagine being in charge of a group of people who are performing a mission that affects the entire country. That deserves compensation and recognition.

What is "Scientology" anyway? The worship of botox, plastic surgery, cocaine and meaningless marriages? When did it begin? Who started it? Does anyone REALLY consider it a religion? Can you be a "Scientologist" without having a cocaine addiction? Is it called that just to make the people who "practice" it feel like they're educated?

Scientology is most certainly practiced by millions of everyday people.It was started by L ron Hubbard and has chapters all over.It is also most certainly a cult,although members will argue that point.Scientologists do not believe in conventional medicine.Not even asprin.What if you are a diabetic,and need insulin?A friend of mine(ex friend)has become a minister in the church of scientology,here in Boston.She devotes most of her time and money to it.

Is there any way to make free pc-to-phone calls to India? Please let me know FREE ones not payed thank you.

as far as i know, there is nothing like that as of now. \nit is because of that fact that phone service costs money everywhere in the world. \nthe technology of voip is still developing in many areas because of various constraints.

Zoloft can have a number of adverse effects, including insomnia, asthenia, gastrointestinal complaints, tremors, confusion, dizziness, anorgasmia, and decreased libido; it can induce mania or hypomania in around 0.5% of patients. It has also been known to cause minor weight loss. Zoloft also has dopamine reuptake properties at high doses. It is contraindicated in individuals taking MAOIs or undergoing electroconvulsive therapy.Because of its metabolism, liver impairment can affect the elimination of this drug from the body. If someone with liver impairment is treated with Zoloft, lower or less frequent dosage should be used. Similarly, patients should limit their alcohol intake while on sertraline (or any antidepressant). Because the liver is doubly taxed with processing both substances (in addition to any other drugs the patient may be taking), alcohol remains in the bloodstream longer, so the effects of alcohol may be more strongly and quickly felt by people taking Zoloft or other antidepressants.\n\nYou could try light therapy.Natural sunlight would be best.Regular exposure to light that is bright, particularly sunlight or fluorescent light, significantly improves depression in persons with seasonal affective disorder. The light treatment is used daily in the morning and evening for best results.Treatment with bright light (about five to twenty times brighter than normal lighting) often alleviates symptoms within a period of days. Unwieldy lighting paraphernalia has given way to smaller, portable light boxes and lighted visors. Doses range from 30 minutes to a few hours per day, often undergone in the morning to simulate the dawn.Negative ion generators have also been proven to help depression.


I took a chemistry test the other day and did really bad. Like...F kinda bad. These are a few of the questions that were on the test that I didn't know how to do. In order to get a higher grade, I need to do test corrections.\n\nIf anyone could do any of these, even if it's only one, I would be very grateful. Also, if you could show the process that would be awesome. Thanks to anyone who tries :D\n\n19) A helium-filled balloon at sea level has a volume of 2.1 L at 0.998 atm and 36 degrees Celsius.

This person was my employee for a very large non profit medical company.  She's 56 and will not perform her job duties based on her job description.  She filed a discrimination lawsuit naming me as the principle.  The Fair Employment and Housing Agency dismissed her case without an investigation.  This employee has received her full pay and bonuses.  Since HR and legal are afraid of her.  I have to account for this person in my budget but the last three times I have asked her to do a job she claimed stress leave each time.  Please help me.  What can I do?

The catch for you will be to terminate her agains the advice of your HR and Legal Departments.  In my organization that could result in your own termination.  \n\nIf you are dead set on getting rid of her you will need to document EVERYTHING just in case she goes to the EEOC/Fair Labor Housing Board.  Every time she is late to work or returning from a break.  If she misses any deadlines.  If she fails to complete tasks clearly detailed in the job description SHE RECEIVED.  \n\nAdditionally, if she is claiming any medical related time off AND being paid for it or taking leave under FMLA, they you absolutely may ask her for medical documentation.  If she fails to produce that, then you may have ground for termination with that alone.\n\nBe very careful about how you go about this in light of the fact that she named you in a previous matter with the EEOC/Fair Labor Housing Agency. They have up to five calendar years to re-open a matter for investigation at the federal level.

What do literal christians think of this.  Will he go to hell?

What the Archbishop said was: "I think creationism is ... a kind of category mistake, as if the Bible were a theory like other theories ... if creationism is presented as a stark alternative theory alongside other theories I think there's just been a jarring of categories ... My worry is creationism can end up reducing the doctrine of creation rather than enhancing it." \n\nSo in essence he's suggesting it's not comparing like with like to compare Creationism with Darwinism.\n\nHe's also trying to avoid division in the Church of England at a time when the Church's role in an increasing secular society is being marginalised.


i need help because i want to know somethings about adoption of oak trees with their environment,,, i ask from any nice guys.


My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 1/2 years. He is more that 600 lbs. I did not judge him when we met, I always give people an opportunity to prove themselves. His family and I have tried to help him loose weight and he seems not to care. He can not lead a normal life because of his weight. And lets not even talk about our sexual life. Oral is not enough!!! I don't want to just leave him because of his weight, but I'm afraid one day I'm going to received a phone call that he died because of some breathing issue.  have tried so hard to help him and I dont know what else to do. I am 24 and he is 29, what can I do? Or what should I do. I love him, but it hurts me to see him handicapped by choise because he doesnt do anything to loose the weight. I'm not superficial. But we can't even take a walk together because he gets tired. Have I locked myself in a jail without bars?

I agree with the "Other George W" that your can leave if you think you must. Personally, I think you should.\nYou seem worried that leaving him because he is morbidly obese somehow makes you a bad person. You are not. If he tried to loose weight (seriously and honestly), then you might want to give him another chance. But from your description he doesn't give a damn. What does this tell you about him? You are willing to accomodate and help him, but he is utterly unwilling to do the same for you. \nNow just imagine he were a drug addict (he seems to be a food addict): Do you believe anyone would think you shold stay with him no matter what even though he is unwilling to work on his addiction? If he won't help himself, you cannot either. \nBy the way, your fear of getting a call from hospital about him is well-founded, and it could be anything - breathing, heart attack or stroke. He is highest risk. \nPlease, take care of yourself as well - he is not the only one who deserves someone caring for him. Good luck!


My student OPT authorization will expire on 5/31 this year. If my current employer files the H-1B petition for me in April, can I still leave the US until my H-1B is approved?

It would be safer if you did not. You will need to get a new visa to come back and since your H1B is not aprooved you won't be able to get one untill it is.\n\nIf you are willing to stay outside you US until your H1B is aprooved then no problem.\n\nYou could also try coming back before your OPT expires, but there's still a small risk


Yahoo continuously deletes "F" reviews left by users for this movie.  Apparently it is "Homophobic" to not like this movie.  Why?

because the media is trying to control us and how we think. for the most part it's working. keep this kind of talk going and this post will magically dissapear.


his hand is on ur private parts? and he doesnt know about it..or if he does it intentionally!\n\nanswer both conditions if u can......

if he dosnt know about it move his hand if he does id put my hand on his as long as hes sexy


but how much fat per pound equals one pound of muscle ... or vice-versa?

A pound of fat weighs a pound.\nA pound of muscle weighs a pound.\nBUT...a pound of muscle takes up LESS SPACE than a pound of fat.\n"A pound of fat has more than two times the volume of a pound of muscle. A 150 pound lady that has only 25 pounds of fat on her body will fit easily in a dress that a 135 pound lady with 50 pounds of fat cannot possibly fit into."


They're thin leather that's rather stretchy, and the boots go to my knees without zippers.

Hey you bought them to wear them!  If they get a little wet they won't be RUINED, besides it might not rain.  I'd take the chance, at least you KNOW you'll look sexy.


My friend sent me this email of her day. \n\nWell today was an awfull day.  I had one customer who thought that if he bolted down his dish onto his TV litteraly mean on his TV he would get a signal strenght of 100%. He calls to tell us that his tv doesnt work anylonger.  I tried to tell him in a very civil way that we he has done was the silliest thing I've ever heard since I have been working for this company.  I had to tell him that the dish goes on his roof not on is tv.  After that he wanted us to reimburse him is tv set ( 2000$CA ) .  Told him there was no way in hell that we are responsible for our customer lack of brains and then  I laught and laught so much by mistake I thought i had him on mute but nope he heard me laughing with my buddies and has filed a complaint to my boss because of my lack of sensitivity.

I don't think she'll get in trouble. It was incredibly stupid to bolt the dish on the TV. I would have laughed! Reminds me of the woman who was told that 2 bricks in the toilet conserved water, and got mad when the toilet overflowed. Guess nobody told her that the bricks went in the tank...ooops! Anyway, the boss may want to point out the importance of making sure the mute button is on in the future, but he probably thinks it was silly also.


i heard this stuff is great. i wander where you can buy it

I'm pretty sure GNC carries it. They can usually give you more info. on the products, and help you decide which is best suited to achieve you personal desired result.


lets see here i got caught with   SMALL AMOUNT OF marijuana  FOUND IN THE TRASH CAN I WAS 17 AT THE TIME IM 18 NOW AWAITING A COURT SUMMONS IVE NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE WITH DRUGS BEFOR JUST TOBACO wuchu think gone happen

hello, I see this kind of thing happen a lot, as I fequently must go to my local court house.  If you have never been in trouble before and don't have a record, they will most likely put you on a 6 month probation period.  Drug testing could be a serious option for you but if you pretty much have a clean record you will get off easy.  You definatly wont see any jail time for this offense.  It really depends on how much marajuana you were caught with and also what the DA(defense Attorney) would like out of you. Don't worry about it.  Just stay out of trouble from now on!


Ethnic groups rally for immigrant rights\n\nBy Oscar Avila and Antonio Olivo\nTribune staff reporters\nPublished March 10, 2006, 3:25 PM CST\n\n\nA mass of flag-waving humanity jammed downtown Chicago this afternoon as tens of thousands of protesters rallied at Federal Plaza to demand more humane immigration laws.\n\nGov. Rod Blagojevich, Mayor Richard Daley and other political figures crowded onto the stage to speak to the crowd.\n\nNoting Chicago was built by new arrivals to this country who simply wanted a share of the American Dream, Daley said, "We are not going to make criminals out of (immigrants). That is not what America has ever stood for."\n\nU.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), a Hispanic, drew cheers as he recognized Irish, Polish, Chinese and African-American rally participants.\n\n"I have never been prouder to march, to show my commitment to a cause, than I have been today," Gutierrez said. "We have brought together the true fabric of what Chicago is, of what our country is."\n\nEven as the rally began, about 2 p.m., people continued streaming into the Loop, the line of march extending as far west as the United Center.\n\nStreets in the immediate vicinity of Federal Plaza, 230 S. Dearborn St., were closed for the rally as a crowd estimated by Chicago police as 75,000 to 100,000 in size spilled off the sidewalks.\n\nAnd as the afternoon rush hour approached, police issued an alert asking the public to avoid not just the federal building complex, but the area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Roosevelt Road on the south, Ashland Avenue on the west and all points "all the way east."\n\nEarlier, businesses, restaurants and schools across the region emptied out, and busloads of immigrants from Mexico, Poland and Ireland converged on the protest's assembly point in Union Park, at Ashland Avenue and Washington Boulevard on the city's West Side.\n\nAt the park, the participants—representatives of many ethnic groups in addition to the Hispanic community, the event's main organizer—immediately broke into mini-rallies, some speakers grabbing megaphones and rallying participants from baseball bleachers.\n\nThe protesters stepped off shortly after noon for a two-mile march to Federal Plaza. They moved amid a sea of flags, including those for Guatemala, Ecuador, Ireland and especially Mexico. But U.S. flags were the most numerous.\n\nMarchers such as Jose Soberanis tried to make the case that the cause of illegal immigrants fits with basic American values. Soberanis, 21, led a group waving U.S. flags and a drawing of Martin Luther King that he created with his 11-year-old sister, Cecilia.\n\n"As the saying goes, 'I have a dream.' Well, we have dreams, too," Soberanis said. "African-Americans were looking for social acceptance. That is what we want, too."\n\nWhole shifts of workers left their jobs to underscore the importance of immigrant workers. One server in a Downers Grove Italian restaurant came in his tie and apron, draped with a U.S. flag.\n\nA Chicago factory worker, Amada Ochoa, 44, said she felt a swell of pride when about 150 employees walked out the doors around noon at their West Side plating company.\n\n"We felt a feeling of unity," she said. "It shows our work is important."

I would call the "march" a BIG missed opportunity for INS to finally do its JOB.


he has low self esteem .. so do i.. but he is attracted to just about every female.  usually guys are picky and says how ugly some girls are or they have standards and a specific type they like... but my bf likes every thing.  he looks at anything that walks.  even older ladies and young girls.  my face is not attractive.  i have a good body, but my face sucks.  and my bf is always looking at females in the face.  he looks at heavy wemon with pretty faces. he loves faces.. but mine sucks.. so whys he with me?  it hurts.  hes even called me ugly when we fought.

He's only making your low self esteem go lower. In my opinion, if he's called you ugly then that's reason enough to give him the boot. Who needs that? Verbal abuse will only get worse as the relationship gets older. To paraphrase Eleanor Roosevelt.."No one can make you feel inferior without your permission."


It is to me. I feel like I'm getting smarter. =] Lol. And I like helping people out. Wow this question's gonna be an easy 10 points.

I spend every minute I can on here.  Myhusband has started complaining.


Even when I get 8 hours or more of sleep I still feel like I need more sleep and don't want to get out of bed...is this just a self-discipline issue or is there something I could do to help it? I'd like to get up early in the morning and be full of energy instead of sleepwalking into the shower :-)

Try drinking a lot of water. This helps the body rest better in a shorter amount of time. Plus the need to use the restroom will help awake you.


my computer takes forever to connect to my yahoo messenger and when i am dowloading stuff, such as music? any clues as to what is wrong and how do i fix the problem?

There cud be any of the following 6 issues:\nI assume you use WinXP on your PC, though some of the issues/solutions may also be true for other operating systems.\n\n1> Your computer is slow.\nYou need to clear your PC of data/programs/software. Uninstall softwares by going to Add/Remove programs in control panel. Delete unwanted data files. If you dont to delete them but only want them to NOT start automatically at startup (cos they maybe running in the background), then disable them in the 'System Configuration Utility'. Click on 'Start' / 'Run' / Type msconfig / Click 'Ok'. Click on the 'Startup' tab and uncheck the ones you want to disable at startup. Your PC will ask for a reboot and show a dialog box at startup. Check the box that says 'Do not launch the utility at startup.. etc'. Click Ok.\n2> Your Antivirus/Firewall/Pop-up blocker is screening and interfering with the downloads.\nDisable these if active. You will see them as icons in the system tray (the place on the bottom right corner next to where it shows the system time). Move the mouse cursor over them. If you see the program running, right click and disable/exit/close them. Some would require you to open the software and then disable it.\n3> Your internet connection is slow.\nSome ISPs alocate a certain amount of data downloads to your account (including surfing/chatting). If you reach the upper limit, they would throttle the speed and/or charge you extra for the extra downloads. Call your ISP and check the usage limit reached.\n4> There cud be a temporary problem with the Chat server.\nTry after sometime. But first disconnect and reboot your PC and the modem (Incase you are on DSL/Cable). You will get a new IP address and the connection might be faster.\n5> Your PC is infected by a virus/spyware or the likes.\nGet the PC scanned by an Anti-Spyware, Antivirus.\n6> There cud be an interference in the phone line.\nCheck the line for a clear dialtone. Use a proper filter on the other phone/analog instruments if it is DSL.\n\nThis should help.


My dad is a full-time minister for a very small church in Alabama. They do not have health insurance and cannot afford to get it. They are worried about the situation as am I because my mother has health problems and my father is getting older reaching 50 and if something was to happen they would be sunk with medical bills. I have a 3 year old brother and two sisters ages 15 and 12 and they have All Kids insurance. I am wondering if anybody knows about any insurance that would cover my parents for a good rate or free? I am desperate for any answers and please only serious people. Thanks! I am luck enough to have a husband that has BCBS health insurance and so we are safe. I only wish I could add my parents to our plan.

You should try HIP or FAMILY HEALTH PLUS. My family has family health plus. Its a good company. Its free and is great. It pays for some of your medicines and pays for your visit to any doctor. Go to this link to get more information:

If you wet a piece of paper towel by water, then it is easily broken.  If you wet it by oil, the oil tends to strengthen it.  Why?

Paper contains acid that was used in making it. Water is a solvent, that when it comes in contact with the paper immediately begins to break down the fibers. Oil, on the other hand is inert, and does not break the fibers down. Just as a sidenote though, ever notice how cotton clothes are harder to rip when they are wet?

I have been looking and looking for the answers to these two questions: when and where was hepatitis b discovered. if you can b the first (or only) to tell me and give me your source i will choose you as best answer. i am presenting this for bio tomorro and i really could use the help. Thankx.

Hepatitis B: A Brief History:\n\nIn 1965, Dr. Blumberg who was studying haemophilia, found an antibody in two patients which reacted against an antigen from an Australian Aborigine. Later the antigen was found in patients with serum type hepatitis and was initially designated "Australian Antigen". Subsequent study has shown the Australia Antigen to be the hepatitis B surface antigen. Dr. Blumberg was subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery. Initially there appeared to be three particles associated with hepatitis B infection: a large "complete" particle called the "Dane particle", a small circular 20nm particle and an oblong 40nm particle. Further research identified the Dane particle as the hepatitis B viron and the other two particles as excess surface protein. This former terminology is no longer used and the virus is referred to according to its structure.


okay so my girlfriend and i have been going out for a week,after the first day she said she was in love with me,we had met the day before,and she keeps telling me how she feels about me and it's great and all but it seems like it's going along to quickly

Dear Korn-D,\nYup, sounds like it.  Also sounds pretty clingy, almost obsessive and creepy, if you ask me (and you did)...  If they grow too quickly (and this would qualify) they also will probably burn out quickly.\nS-M


Limelight-chemistry wise-how is it made from limestone?

Whenever quick lime(Calcium Oxide, CaO) is burnt in presence of air, it burns rapidly with a bright yellow flame. In the past this light was used in theatre to light it up, hence it is called limelight. \n\nHowever, nowadays normal elecrical lighting, like sodium vapour, or phosporus tubelights, etc are used in lighting, even on the stage, but the name limelight has stuck, and is still being used.\n\nCalcium Oxide, ie lime is manufactured from lime stone (Calcium Carbonate CaCO3) by heating it in the absence of air inside a lime kiln. The following reaction takes place\nCaCO3-------->CaO + CO2\nThe temperature is maintainead at above 1273 Kelvin, and it generally reaches 1473K, because this is an exothermic reaction.\nBy the way, to convert Kelvin to degrees Celcius, simply subtract 273 from it.


need to start petitions pertaining to the road commision and the county drain commision and do not know where to go to get one started

Go to your County Election Office and tell them what you want to do.  They should have official form samples for you to use when writing your petition.  \n\nThey will also explain the procedures and the number of signatures required for what you are doing.\n\nThen just go get your signatures.


my bf looks at females ALL THE TIME.  but i guess its better than if he flirted with females.  i dont know.

Are you referring to hydroelectric power?\n\nWater behind the dam is stored energy called potential energy because it has the potential to do work, but isn't doing any work at the moment.  As the water flows down through the turbines of the hydroelectric plant, it is kinetic energy, or energy that is actually doing work.\n\nThe turbine spins a generator, which is connected to the power grid through transformers.\n\n\nA newer, experimental variant of hydroelectic power is using large volumes of water in man-made, elevated lakes to store energy.  During non-peak usage periods, such as late at night, electric pumps will pump water into these lakes.  Then, during peak usage periods, during the day (particularly the afternoon), the water is allowed to flow down through pipes to turbines to generate electricity again.   It's not a very efficient system, but does offer a possible way to store electricity until it's needed.

Myself and my wife are moving to JAX this summer. What are some good communities to live in where should we avoid?

Avondale and Ortega on the west side of the St. John's River are both excellent areas to live.  Also anywhere out Atlantic Blvd around Kernan Blvd.  Of course the beaches are all nice but expensive ... Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jax Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach.  I would avoid areas like the southside and orange park as the traffic is horrific!!!!  Also, avoid anything downtown.


Just read this by mikescamp01, and I think it's the best/truest thing I've ever read.\n\n"I don't see what so hard to believe. I asked an atheist... \n\nDo you see my watch? He said, yes. Then I asked did you see my watch get made? He said, no. Have you ever seen ANY watch get made EVER in you life? he said...no. I said, But you believe someone made my watch and that it just didn't make itself. He said, yes. Then I asked do you believe George Washington was the first president of the United States? He said, yes. I asked, were you there when he was living? He said, no. What about Martin Luther King? Julius Caesar? Ghandi? Hitler? \nSo, you have FAITH that all these people lived having never seen them with your own eyes. And believed the watch, a car, a computer was built by someone, yet you've never seen these things actually being built. But you believe something as intricate as a human being, the world, our universe just...happened???? He was at Church on Sunday."

It's a funny little argument you're making here, but at a basic level it makes sense. I have never met MLK Jr., or Christopher Columbus, and so I accept the word of, well, my society that these people existed. In fact, this faith is often betrayed! How many people took the story of George Washington and the cherry tree as gospel truth (no pun intended)?\n\nPlenty of people, atheists included, have accepted both true and false histories on nothing but blind faith for many many years. Hard to find an atheist who will admit to this though, as it violates the notion of a thinking individual.\n\nWe all accept things on faith all the time. The important thing to remember here is that that faith can be either betrayed or justified. Accepting something on faith doesn't make you stupid. It confirms that you are human.


TO ask teacher any question in the class...

Are you worried that if you ask a question, you'll lose your train of thought and come off sounding like an idiot? I'm a shy person, and I used to worry that I'd that I'd start mumbling, or that people would think my question is dumb. If you're worried about being judged or you forget what you were going to ask, it might help to write questions down so when you do ask, you can read them off of your paper. Formulating a question before you ask will help you to structure your question better, and since you know exactly what you're going to ask, you won't be as shy.\nYou can also email your teacher, see him/her during office hours, find out the answer(s) to your question(s) on your own, etc.\n\nI'm shy too...I know what it's like! You're not the only one afraid to ask questions in class! :)


What do they do to a person's body system that causes the gas? (And, for instance, if one eats broccoli every day, does one's body eventually become immune and not produce gas?) I would like a factual answer, but in layman's terms, please!

Vegetables are a very high source of energy. If you eat them and do not use that energy, then it's just sitting in your body. Your body has to do something with it, so it makes it into a gas and of course, that gas makes it's way out of your body. So, if you are going to eat broccoli, I suggest you go for a quick run.   :)
