Don't name names, but I would run an ad in the local paper stating that a woman is bent on destroying my reputation, and ask the readers to ask your side before they believe her.  This will tell the people you must be telling the truth, and she is not going to want to take it this far and should back off. I know it sounds a little out there, but if she is a trouble maker, sometimes publicity is the only way to shut them up, and you don't have to mention names to make her face beet red. You want to put your name of course, and they will know who you are talking about without you getting a lawsuit.

how long can someone have post tramatic stress disorder?

I think it depends on the trauma and its effects. But most important of all is your ambition to see a bright future in your life. You are very young and you have lots of years to look forward to. It is your choice and decision to concentrate on the positive. You may try to read Borge's poem regarding what he would like to do if he was not 85.\nAnd here is some information (which I'm sure you would already know)\nPTSD is usually treated by a combination of psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, and exposure therapy are popular) and psychotropic drug therapy (antidepressant or atypical antipsychotics). \n Talk therapy may prove useful, but only insofar as the individual sufferer is enabled to come to terms with the trauma suffered and successfully integrate the experiences in a way that does not further damage the psyche. Forbes,  have shown that a technique of "rewriting" the content of nightmares through imagery rehearsal so that they have a resolution can not only reduce the nightmares but also other symptoms. \nCognitive therapy shows good results and group therapy may be helpful in reducing isolation and stigma.\n\n\nPTSD is often co-morbid with other psychiatric disorders such as depression


What type is your preferred dress, in public? 1) Revealing or 2)concealing??

The invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 exists as the largest build-up and movement of soldiers in the history of mankind.  It also marked a significant turning point in the second World War, one that would aid in the eventual defeat and downfall of Hilter's armies. \n \n.  \nThe release of Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan will rekindle a lot of interest in the second World War, and in particular the real events which took place on June 6, 1944 - also known as D-Day.

I am thinking of going to the U.S next winter for a change of pace. where is the best place to snowboard?

Depends on what kind of snow and terrain you want.  If you like hard snow, the East Coast, especially Vermont, is probably best.  Utah and the Rockies get probably the best powder on average.\n\nCalifornia resorts probably have the best halfpipes, Mammoth Mountain had several Olympians in the recent Games.  The grooming is excellent, and the powder at Mammoth and the Lake Tahoe resorts is very good.


who is jesus christ to you? what do you  think it takes to get into heaven?  what are your religious beliefs?

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. The bible teaches clearly that Jesus Christ is the Son of God sent into to this world as a sin offering to redeem us from the power of sin. The journey to Heaven begins by us simply accepting the what the bible says about Jesus Christ and believing. We do not go to Heaven because of any good we may do on this planet. God has simply granted believers grace or unmerited favour. Anyone who says good work gets us into heaven has not grasped the nature of God and His plan to deal with sin in this world. I am a believer in Jesus Christ.


Recommendation for a solid set of beginner clubs?

The only thing that will hold value is a brand name.  I suggest you hold off as long as you can.  I'm sure someone has an old set you could use.  You want to hit as many clubs as you can to see what you like.  All you need is a couple to practice with.  The PGA is kicking off a big trade in net work and offering free fitting.  You may be able to find something  there.  Go to www.playgolfamerica.com and click on the logo.  I see so many new golfers purchase sets the first couple weeks they start the game and always regret it.  After 3 months that have an idea on what club they would like.  You best bet is to borrow or buy some real cheap cavity back clubs for that first 3 months.  I also suggest taking Link Up 2 Golf.  The cost is $99.00 you get 6 to 8 hours of lesson, with some of it on the golf course.  Best deal in golf for beginners, plus they supply the clubs.

Over-Reacting in a long-distance relationship?

Its hard when you are in a long distance relationship. Your insecurities seem to triple. \nLet him know how it makes you feel. Let him know that you know its just you but that you do have these feelings and ask him to be more considerate and call when he says or let you know if he wont etc.\n\nAlso get a passtime something you do just when you are worrying. \nGood luck! I know from experience it is tough!!!


Does being funny and too friendly reduce ur chances of entering into a relationship?

Help my girl is turning Crazy with my Past relationships? How can I help her?

Hey, I'm actually at the opposite end of your situation and just found out that I had been lied to about her past for a good 18 months. It's really hard and I don't know what to do. I was absolutely head over heals for this girl, and now mentally it is starting to crumble because I don't know they truth. She also won't talk about it because it bothers her too much, which in turn makes me feel extremely guilty when I need questions answered Unfortunately, her unwillingness to be open about it is driving my stress levels ridiculously high. \nI guess, from my perspective, what I wanted her to do most was to ask for forgiveness, which she never did. It's been nearly 4 months since the incident and she still hasn't asked. I wanted - needed - that.\nI also just wanted her to be honest. Completely honest. People are so bad about telling white lies or playing down the truth and that's what makes the imagination run wild.\nI think the best thing you could do is to comfort her. Ask her to forgive you for what you did (if you're sorry). And be willing to answer any questions she may have - letting her know she may get answers she doesn't want to hear.\nI think, after that, if she can't get over it, she'll never get over it. I'm debating that option now.\nIf she's not going to get over it, you will have to make the realization that there are more girls out there (billions) and you'll find one that will be more accepting and just as great as this one.\n\nI wish the best to you and I hope my experience has helped your insight. Good luck!


If you had to STONE A HELPLESS MUSLIMAH, would you empty all your hate with a hard throw or have bad aim?

If you regard Jesus as a prophet, Jesus said He who has not sinned cast the first stone. What a horrible religion this Islam is. So uncivilized. What gives you the right to judge when we all sinned. Accusation and slander is a sin, should we stone you?


11 mo old with Failure to Thrive-has Milk Protein Allergy, what can he drink to gain weight?

I would see a nutritionist about this.  I would think their should be a high protein soy formula out there.  I hope he is not allergic to that.  Good luck.  Are you feeding him jarred food yet.  If he really likes your milk you can puree fresh veggies and add your milk to it to give him more calories.  Have you tried that.\n\nI made my son's baby food.  All you have to do is steam the veggies and put them in a food processor to puree.  You can do a lot at one time and freeze them in ice cube trays or baby jars.  You can also use the first years small containers.  The breast milk might make him eat more of it.  Just mix it in.  I hope this helps some.

After a five way by-pass will I have enough arteries left for another operation if need in future?

Most people I believe can have more than one Bypass surgery.  Synthetic vessels are a high risk for failing due to rejection from the body.  And that would be too risky to take that chance.  The previous answers are correct in a sense.  Usually the Mammary arteries are used as well as the Saphenous vein of the leg( usually the left leg) for vein harvest.   It usually depends on the age of the patient which vessels the surgeons use.  Hopefully you have had a good recovery and follow the guidelines that you receive in Cardiac Rehab.

How exactly do women get pleasure from anal sex?

It's a different sensation, While it doesn't feel as good as vaginal sex. I think it's like a taboo thing. Like ooh I'm doing something naughty. And guys love it because well it's all extra tight. So I think women get more pleasure out of satisfying the desires of thier partner's than the actual act itself.

Why is it that everyone is trying to say that Jesus Christ was not actually born from a virgin mother?

O.k. before I begin I'm also Christian, but not your average Christian due to the fact I believe in all religions.\n\nFirst Off I'm not exactly saying the Bible is a full of lies, I' just telling you my opinion on it (listen carefully)\n\nAfterwards I will answer your question about the virgin Mary.\n\nFirst off the Bible was written by man, not God. Man is not perfect.  Some of the things might be a little bit different then it actually was.  I mean think about it when the apostles were stranded on the boat and Jesus walked on water towards them who was writting down everything that was happening? No, it had to be written down later.\nCan you recall everything perfectly that happened to you yesturday, can you recite word for word what somebody told you?\n\nThis is the true reason why the Bible contradicts itself.  Because man wrote it.  Here is another intristing fact; Some kings in ancient times thought the Bible was boring, so they had someone spice it up a bit.  According to research it has been corrected, but with all these things how can anybody say it's 100% fact.  It even contradicts itself, Eye for an eye; if someone slaps your left cheeck.\n\nThe truth about the Bible is that it is based on truth, but it itself is nothing more then a tall tale. Kinda of like Santa Clause. There actually was a Saint Nick. He gave toys to girls and boys, but the stories have been altered and created a Santa Clause.  There is truth in there, but there are also embelishments, and so forth.  The Bible should be red for it's message, not the stories.  I mean think about it; which apostle was there when the soldiers were whipping Jesus, saying all kinds of nasty things.  Yes, it probably did happen, but it could not have been written down like it was in the Bible unless the person writting it was right there writting things down word for word.\n\nWith all these things combined the Bible is not exactly right, but if you were to talk about your days living with your parents you could easily discribe what happened, even though it might not exactly be 100%.  The message will live on, even though the stories might not be 100% accuarate.\n\nNow as for why some people might say Mary was no Virgin.  The truth is they use to say Jesus never exsisted, but now science and history has confirmed his exsistance. No they have not confirmed he is the Son of God or a lot of the other miricles, but they have confirmed his exsistance. So the people who don't want to believe in him need to find another way to doubt him.  They have chosen that Mary was not a Virgin.  This will be extremely difficult for anybody to prove or disprove don't you think?

In his dealings with over 30,000 cancer patients, he has recorded thousands of other success stories.

How do I get over the husband I kicked out? Now that he lives with someone els I am hurting more then ever.?

The love you feel is the loss of what could have been in another universe, not this one. He chose drugs and drinking over your family.  Some people would rather be high than live. Believe me he's only with that other woman because she lets him get away with it.  You and your daughters have every right to ask for a man with all his ducks in a row.  \n\nIf it would make you feel better go to him one more time and tell him that you love him and want him to get help, but if he refuses you have to accept that. Ask Jesus to give you strength and to guide your steps.  You'll get through it and your children will be better off.  They've only got one parent making sense now don't let your emotions screw that up.\nGod Bless You.

What is Déjà Vu? and how does it happens?

The term déjà vu (French: "already seen", also called paramnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. The term was created by a French psychic researcher, Emile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques (The Future of Psychic Sciences), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate French concentrator at the University of Chicago. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eerieness" or "strangeness" or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.\n\nThe experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% or more of the population report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon. However, in laboratory settings, it is extremely difficult to invoke the déjà vu experience, making it a subject with few empirical studies.\nTypes of déjà vu\nAccording to Arthur Funkhouser there are three types of déjà vu:\n\n[edit]\nDéjà vécu\nUsually translated 'already seen' or 'already lived through,' déjà vécu is described in a quotation from David Copperfield by Charles Dickens:\n\nWe have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time - of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances - of our knowing perfectly what will be said next, as if we suddenly remember it![1]\n\nWhen most people speak of déjà vu, they are actually experiencing déjà vécu. Surveys have revealed that about one third of the population have had these experiences, more often (and perhaps more intense) in people between the ages of 15 and 25. The experience is usually related to a very banal event, but is so striking that it is remembered for years afterwards.\n\nDéjà vécu refers to an experience involving more than just sight, which is why labeling such "déjà vu" is usually inaccurate. The sense involves a great amount of detail, sensing that everything is just as it was before. Because of this, theories that the situation was just read about earlier or experienced in a previous life are invalid, as those experiences could not recreate the exact situation due to a lack of sense involvement or the presence of modern surroundings.\n\nMore recently, the term déjà vécu has been used to describe very intense and persistent feelings of a déjà vu type, which occur as part of a memory disorder. As described in Moulin, C.J.A., Conway, M.A. Thompson, R.G., James, N. & Jones, R.W. (2005). Disordered Memory Awareness: Recollective Confabulation in Two Cases of Persistent Déjà vecu. Neuropsychologia, 43 :1362-1378.\n\n[edit]\nDéjà senti\nDr. John Hughlings Jackson recorded the words of one of his patients who suffered from temporal lobe or psychomotor epilepsy in an 1889 paper:\n\nWhat is occupying the attention is what has occupied it before, and indeed has been familiar, but has been for a time forgotten, and now is recovered with a slight sense of satisfaction as if it had been sought for. ... At the same time, or ... more accurately in immediate sequence, I am dimly aware that the recollection is fictitious and my state abnormal. The recollection is always started by another person's voice, or by my own verbalized thought, or by what I am reading and mentally verbalize; and I think that during the abnormal state I generally verbalize some such phrase of simple recognition as 'Oh yes - I see', 'Of course - I remember', &c., but a minute or two later I can recollect

If that does not work, you can use a code, such as:\n<style type="text/css">body{background-color:put the color code here;}</style>\nNote: Only replace "put the color code here" and the space in-between with the color code you want, but nothing else.

darkwe know the speed of light...what is the speed of dark?

Dark does not push light away, the light is what is moving. Using your example of "over the horizon", the sun (which produces light) moves to the other side of the earth (where we can't see it) then we see dark. But dark does not move, it is just the term we have come up with for what it looks like when there is no light present.


Marketing ideas to lease apartments to people?

Make sure you check the laws reguarding fair housing. There are several acts including the civil rights act of 1866, Fair Housing Act of 1968, Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988. You don't want to get in trouble for violating these acts reguarding discrimination. Check with your local HUD office (Department of Housing and Urban Development) for more information on these.\n\nAs far as advertising goes, put ads in all the local newspapers, on the radio, etc. To make your place really stand out, it should look great, and have a reasonable price. The price and condition of the property are what will make people want to live there. Good Luck.

do clones contract diseases their originals contract after the originals are being cloned?

Diabetes is not a genetic condition, so no.  However, a predisposition to diabetes can be genetic, so it's likely the clone will also get diabetes.\n\nCloning replicates DNA, nothing more.


Since science can only describe consciousness and can't define it.Then how can they say  we don't have a soul?

Interesting puzzle:\nfMRI studies have shown that neurons in the brain associated with a task begin to fire about 800 milliseconds before the person is even aware that they want to perform an action.\n\nIs this God? Do we have no free will? Is this our soul?\n\n\n                     Med Hypotheses. 2001 Mar;56(3):364-6. \n    If there were no free will: Fisher CM.\n\n\n    Electrophysiological findings in humans who are performing voluntary acts, indicate that the intention to act, follows brain activity rather than preceding it. This has implications for voluntary behavior and the doctrine of free will. This essay reviews the fields of human behavior, including medicine, in which this new thesis might have far-reaching significance. Copyright 2001 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.\n\nAn extract:\n\n...it should be pointed out\nthat somewhat the same conclusion may be reached on\nthe basis of rather elementary observation. Every thought,\nfeeling, inclination, intention, desire, every mental\nimpression no matter how brief or faint, must be created\nby nervous system activity. How else could they arise? Ideas would have to arise without a physical basis.\nNervous system activity must always precede. Every\nnuance of thought and feeling arises in and must be preceded\nby its own specific electrical configuration in the\nbrain. If one has the experience of ‘willing’ the nervous\nsystem to do something, the impression of ‘willing’ must\nhave been preceded by nervous system activity.\nOtherwise there would be no source and we are in the\nrealm of the supernatural. Before I think of anything, it\nmust first have taken form in my nervous system.\n\nAh yes, the nervous system... some may just call this the soul...\n\n\nEdit: in reference to the below answer, I've pulled out a (scientific) study that does not suggest that there is no soul.\n\n Hist Philos Life Sci. 2004;26(3-4):377-94. \n\n    'Show me your original face before you were born': the convergence of public fetuses and sacred DNA.\n\n    Gilbert SF, Howes-Mischel R.\n\n    Department of Biology, Swarthmore College, 500 College Avenue, Swarthmore, PA 19081, USA.\n\n    Embryology is an intensely visual field, and it has provided the public with images of human embryos and fetuses. The responses to these images can be extremely powerful and personal, and the images (as well as our reactions to them) are conditioned by social and political agendas. The image of the 'autonomous fetus' abstracts the fetus from the mother, the womb, and from all social contexts, thereby emphasizing 'individuality'. The image of 'sacred DNA' emphasizes DNA as the unmoved mover, the eidos, the soul of the human being. Since fertilization involves the forming of a new constellation of DNA in the zygote, the act of fertilization is being perceived as the secular and technical equivalent of ensoulment. This privileges fertilization above the other possible scientifically valued times when 'human life' begins.

Don't make the mistake of using another person to try to prove to yourself its over. Not fair to you or the other person.

Are you willing to lay down the ultimate sacrifice for you're country?

U.S. Navy, 1985-1990. USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3). Didn't see any "action", but we were ready. We were sent to San Francisco to provide aid after the 1989 earthquake, but when we got there, they decided to send us back to San Diego. Also in 1989, we were on 24-hour alert for Panama. But again, they didn't use us. And if Desert Shield would have happened 6 months earlier, we may have been sent there, but by the time it happened, we were too far along in preparation for an overhaul that we didn't go.


How do I set up my wireless network so that I can share my printer? Linksys and Windows XP?

I just did it for the first time last week.  Yeah like the above post said, go to the computer that the printer is installed on, go to start->printer and faxes.  Right-click on the printer you want to be shared and select sharing.  Follow the onscreen instructions.  Now the printer shared.\n\nNow for every computer on your network, go to control panel->printers.  Click add a printer.  Browse through your network to find the shared printer.  And that's it.  \n\nThe link provided below is more organized than my answer.

should crushed organic garlic, soaked in alcohol (96 0/0 from pharmacy)  turn green ?

It is not unusual for garlic to change color it often turns blue or green in vinegar or alcohol.\n\nIf you are going to consume this even in teeny tiny drops make SURE that it is an edible alcohol suitable for human consumption not rubbing alcohol or other non beverage alcohols which can be toxic\n\n Garlic contains anthocyanins, water-soluble pigments that turn blue or purple in an acid solution. The garlic flavor remains unchanged, and it is totally edible.\n\n   I also once had garlic turn pink but this was in an herbal vinegar

no way. even though he had a nice year and a nice record. that doesnt only make him the mvp. steve nash in my mind repeats as mvp. not only is he having a better year then last year (he was mvp last year), but he also is helping his teammate boris diaw be the front runner in the most improved player award. he has lead his team without amare one of the most versatile and explosive big men in the league. steve nash wins hands down. kobe will win it when he does more then score points. lebron wins it in a couple years.

Immigration: there needs to be recognition of the important role played by immigrants on the right while the left needs to recognise that high levels of illegal immigration undermines support for legitimate migration.\n\nBoth sides need to recognise that social security is a pressing problem especially as the boomers start to retire. The US needs to allow people to manage their own superannuation with protections in place. I am Australian and we have had compulsory superannuation with private accounts and choice for twenty years. This system was introduced by the Labor Party (the Australian equivalent of the Democrats in broad terms) and has bipartisan support. The US needs to quickly introduce a system like this. It is a real shame that President Bush's social security reforms were defeated.\n\nOn Iraq, the left should recognise what a disaster it would be if Iraq became captive to Al Queda and support troops staying there while a stable government is established. Losing Iraq would be far worse for the west than losing Vietnam. The right needs to recognise the mistakes that were made and learn from them. \n\nThose are my ideas. I don't think they will get terribly far though.

Why do we yawn and why is it contagious?

We yawn because of a lack of Oxygen. Think about it: when you yawn more air comes in and sometimes after a yawn you feel rejuvenated for a little while. But this is contagious because if you yawn you are probably in an Oxygen-deprived environment and everyone around you is going through the same lack of Oxygen. And yawning is related to sleep because when you're asleep you're barely doing more than breathing, beating your heart and dreaming which doesn't take up much oxygen but you still get the same amount of oxygen as you would awake in the same room so there's more oxygen to relax your brain and mind and everything else that might be tired.

Are you one of the 33% of Americans who actually approves of the job Bush is doing? If so, why?

Nope.  He's been a terrible President.  It's depressing to think what a truly great and brave President could have done after 9/11.  He could have united the world behind us and we could have tackled all kinds of tough problems.  Bush squandered all that with his stupid war, divisive politics and reckless budget policies.  Worst President ever?  Bottom 5 for sure!!!!!!!!!!

Do u think Reggie Bush will have a good Career in the NFL???

I think he'll have a good career.  However, given his size I think he'll have a shorter career than one would hope.  My case study to compare with Reggie would be Gayle Sayers.  Sayers was a speedy, shifty RB in the NFL whose smallish size led him to injury troubles.  Running backs have the shortest career span in the NFL to begin with, and being a smaller back will tend to shorten that career span even more.

Are there any foundations that give grants to go to school to become a minister?

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

why i always do thing to hurt someone i really like ??

People do have a way of hurint those they love most!  Its not just you we have all done it!  it could be that u r terrified of being hurt and you figure u will hurt them before they hurt u.  You may not even be aware that u r doing this but its could be self protection that u r doing.  You could be doing this self conciously and not even know!!!!  Have u been hurt by someone u were close too in the past?????  This could be the reason u r protecting yourself.  Good luck to u!  Remember- the person who hurt u in the past is not the people in your life now so they deserve to be treated with kindness and not be hurt!!!  Just remind yourself of that daily if it helps you!!!

Why does chewing gum become harder once it comes contact with water and you find it harder to chew.?

Nearly correct answer:\n\nIt's not specifically the water that's of importance, it's the temperature of the water.  A cold beverage will cool down the gum, lowering its pliability.  Drinking a beverage at the same temperature as your mouth should have no effect on the gum.\n\n\nOverblown technical garble:\n\nAnother way to describe this phenomenon is to think of gum as a liquid that has a viscosity, as all fluids do.  Viscosity is inversely proportional to temperature (the higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity).  Gum is an interesting substance in that at a short time scale (a few seconds), it behaves like a solid, but at a longer time scale (several minutes) it will behave like a liquid and fill the shape of its container.  This touches on the subject of rheology, which is a segment of fluid mechanics.


why is silica rich magma thicker than silica poor?

Two main reasons:\n\n1.)  Silica-rich lava is often significantly cooler than silica-poor lava, which automatically makes it less fluid.\n\n2.)  The silicon in silica-rich lava is bound up in "silicon tetrahedra" that are resistant to flow, making the lava more viscous.

How is the consumer confidence level calcuated?

first you have to understand the diff between consumer n customer.... customer is the one who purchases certian item and may or may not use.... but the consumer is the one who may or may not purchase but always use.\n\nso consumer confidence level is calculated by the seller who sells particular item to the buyer who may be the customer or customer who  will directly consume. repeatition of purchasing certain item by the use can be measured by the seller and he can assume that because of his repeatition his confidence level on ceratain label or brand is high or vise versa... i hope u understand :)

Can a 14yr old notarize a document stating which parent she wants to live with?

All it means to "notarize" something is that a person, a "notary", has to watch the person sign the document.  The person signing has to provide proof that they are who they say they are.  The point is to prove that the person who is believed to have signed the document actually did.\n\nThere is no legal age one must reach before they can have their signature notarized.  Where it may become more complicated is that the daughter must have some sort of ID or to be able to provide definite proof of identity.  Some notaries MAY take a school ID, but some may require a state issued ID.\n\nThis document can then provided to the court when a change of custody is requested.  This is the other reason age does not matter.  All the daughter is doing is stating a preference as to where she wants to live.  The court still gets to decide what is in the best interest of the child.

Unforgiving Christian? Isn't that the ultimate oxymoron.?

Yes, I agree!\n\nOnly God is Perfection, and His Messengers reflect His Perfection, and we...?  We are entirely imperfect.  Therefore, only God is the ultimate judge.\n\nChrist brought a message of love and forgiveness.  If someone calling themselves a Christian looks upon others with an unforgiving heart, they have much to learn.\n\nForgiveness is different than forgetting, however.\n\nYes, I can forgive a man for being a sick pedophile and molesting a child, but will I forget his misdeed and permit him access to other children?  Hell, no!\n\nThose who hurt other human beings must be punished and/or separated from society.  We forgive them for the sake of God, not for themselves.\n\nAnd we NEVER forget.

How much water does a vegetable plant need daily?

Seed packs say "One inch per week".  It may depend on where you live.  I live in the south, and I am assuming they need a little more.  (I water mine in the morning and again late afternoon - but they are not very tall (recently sprouted from seeds).)\n\n[Edit]  Since writing my initial answer, I got the seed packs.  They say "Keep moist. Your garden should receive about one inch of water per week."  (The instructions are the same for all zones... and for all the plants you mentioned.)

Why are we in war with Iraq and not Afghanistan?

Ok last time I do this. Afghanistan was already taken care of and a democratically elected government now holds power there. Granted its a gov based on Islamic Law BUT theyre learning AND it was elected by the PEOPLE. We did not go into Iraq for oil...how many tankers have arrived here from Iraq? NONE.  The main points the President and his admin cited were Saddam's alleged links to Al Queda which rather recently are starting to be CONFIRMED by siezed Iraqui documents as well as Saddam's refusal to cooperate with UN weapon inspectors and even going as far as covertly transporting most of its WMD programs to friendly neighbor nations. Evidence of this is also starting to come out of siezed regime documents. There is ALOT more but I only have a short space to make my main points. The rest of it IS out there, if you have the intelligence to look for it and the wisdom to see that ALL the "mainstream" press is biased...even the socalled "fair and balanced" Fox News.

what does it mean when the foreskin of penis does not retract during erection?

It means you're a lucky guy with a long foreskin.  There is no law that says a foreskin must retract all the way when hard.  In fact, this could be to your advantage during intercourse as lubrication is not so much an issue in men with foreskins.  The only time this could pose a problem is if you can't pull the skin back at all.  This condition is known as phimosis.  But even then you can stretch it out or a doctor can make a small dorsal slit for correction.  Whatever you do, DON"T GET CIRCUMSIZED!!!!  You have a blessed piece of your body still intact.  Don't let anyone tell you you need to get rid of it.  The stupidity and ignorance especially here in america is rediculously over the top.  There are virtually no times when circumcision is absolutely necessary.  Except in extreme cases (usually when a boy was never properly taught how to clean himself {parent's fault/society's fault}) a boy should remain with all God gave him unless he personally feels compelled to do otherwise.

ok, 50/50=1 which times 100 would be 100%, so 60/50=1.2 times 100 would be 120%. so then 120-100 equals 20% profit.

who invented the first pencil and where can i find out more?

It is not known who invented the first pencil. The pencil was first documented in 1565 by Conrad Gesner, and its invention is sometimes attributed to him, though this is unlikely. European craftsman (woodworkers) were the first known pencil manufacturers, and it wasn't until the late 1700's that manufacturing techniques similar to those practiced today were developed.

is there any food that needs to be avoided by a person suffering from blood pressure?

If you are high blood, let's talk about what you should do:\nGo for high fibre diet, green and yellow vegetables. Tofu if you may;\nWatch your intake. You may be overfed.\nExercise. Keep that booty moving;\nAnd keep some Aspirin(Aspelet) handy. \nNow, \navoid salty food. Salt has the tendency to retain water; \navoid anything fried, if you can, avoid anything prepared with fat;\nAvoid too much sugar and carbohydrates. These turns into fats(reserved and burnable energy as needed) when not used;\nAvoid too much meat. Get legumes and nuts for protein substitute.\nYou should also consult a dietitian to help you plan your diet. They would be the pro to be consulted for this matter.\n\nIf recommended by your doctor go FASTING.\n\nI hope this helps.


how many days between 1975 october 2 and 1974 april 22?


Is the FE exam really that hard? If I am familiar with the manual is it mostly plug and chug? (ME afternoon)?

When I was preparing for the FE I was told that ME majors did slightly better on the general section in the afternoon than the ME section. I took the general section and passed. It is plug and chug, if you remember all that you were taught over several years, as well as a matter of plugging and chugging in the amount of time given. It gets hard when you are testing for such a long period of time.

What do u do when a close friend proposes u,u dont think that way but still want to reamin friends??

when a close friend proposes, and you dont have any such feelings, its always better to make him/her sit and understand. talking is the only way thru such a situation. let him/her know that there might be better people out there to choose from to be a life partner, but what you have between yourselves is a special friendship. tell him/her that you care about the person and woudnt want to lose him/her as a friend. partners may come and go but friends remain!


If the christian god created everything... the planets, galaxies, suns, black holes, etc?

He used the dust because our bodies are what connect us to the earth and the world. He breathed life into that body, giving us a spirit, and that is what connects us to Him. You will notice that there is a term known as "living in the spirit", and this means that we focus on the connection/relationship we have with Him rather than the connection/relationship we have to the world.


my ex bf and i got back together but now he says he needs time alone what to do?

its a really tough situation. i have the same problem. If its been going on for  long time you need to meet up and put him on the spot, ask him if he loves you. he may say yes or he may say no but at least your clear on where you stand so you can get on with things. if he does say no don't do the friends thing. the ony way he'll realise he loves you is to see what his life would be like without you.

What is the best investment for quick money? $500.00 to $1000.00.?

A mutual fund is your best bet.  Remember that "quick" money means risky when it comes to investing.  Better to go slow and not lose your money.


During daylight I can sometimes see the moon in the sky. Why?

The reason you can see the moon in the sky during the day is because at that time the moon has rotated to where it is inbetween the earth and the sun.  So they are both visable at the same time.  It takes 28 for the moon to circle the earth, this is also the cause of moon phases, such as full moon/ new moon ect.


what happens if you turn on a flash light if you are in a black hole?

assuming you are far enough from the singularity to not be pulled apart the light would seem normal.\n\nTheres a hitch though.  I believe that inside black holes that massive amounts of light / photons exist and you would be blinded by entering it.  I have posted my idea on another question if you care to look it up.\n\nNow to the hitch.  Lets imagine yours is the only light and you could see it for an infinite distance.  In time it would look as if the light was being bent to in the rotation that you had shined it.  The reason for this is that the black hole has warped the space time or the fabric of space, so the light will be following the contours of the warped fabric.\n\nYou would not die after entering a black hole.. well not instantly.  but as you traveled towards the singularity your speed would reach light speed.  at which time, time to you would stop and you would never notice that you had been pulled apart by the absolutely huge gravitational difference between your head and your feet.


My guy friend is acting weird....help!!!!?

just give each other some distance. the weirdness will go away eventually. this happened with my best friend from middle school. we didnt talk for a really long time and then moved in separate circles for awhile. when we hit high school we sort of gravitated to each other again and were inseperable until college. then the old chemistry came back and we screwed up big time... not to go off the topic... if there are ever feelings involved they don't go away completely. just play it cool. he'll miss you if you stop calling and start hanging out with other people.

how to change my computer from  English to Spanish?

Open up your control panel and click on regional and language options.\n\nNote: Keep your windows CD at the ready as you might need it.\n\nClick the languages tab at the top of the window that opens. In that frame click details and another window should pop up.\n\nNext change your input language to Spanish.\n\nI think that should work..\n\nFor a lot of other apps you have you'll most likely need to reinstall them in spanish.\n\nIf it doesn't work then ask someone else


why doe people worry about what other people think?

Due to the fact that there are social norms that have been instilled in us since we were children. Of course this is coupled with an innate sense of wanting to please others or wanting to look good in the eyes of other people. What people worry about always depends on what they deem as valuable to them. If a person values money and property he/she would often think about what other people would say if he/she were only driving a certain car. If a person values being perceived as a an individual who is competent and efficient he/she would do everything in his/her power to get things done. It really boils down to what you want other people to know about you and the kind of image you want to portray.


Sorry to say but most likely shes seeing someone else. Sounds to me like shes just calling you up when she has nothing better to do. I don't mean to be so blunt but I don't know how to sugar coat that one. She probably wants you to stick around because shes unsure of the guy shes seeing and wants you on the back burner in case things don't go well with him she has you to fall back on. Sounds to me like your a pretty good guy. At least loyal. You should just ask her about it. If she can't give you a straight answer then the hell with her. Just move on. Good luck and I hope I'm totally wrong and you get your girl.

Why are the kids that like to dress in black such posers?

I hate to admit it, but I'm probably a hipster.  I certainly have hipster glasses, but I never wear black. And I dance at concerts.\n\nIt's like any social group, you find something you like about it, and then you feel pressured to fit in.  Inevitably someone will look at you funny if you don't, and if you're not confident in who you are, then you crumble and buy into the culture wholeheartedly.\n\nHipsters tend to be cynical and disaffected.  There's a lot of post-modernist attitude.  As much as post-modernism is about the individual (emo music and whining about the self, for example) it's not nearly so much about individualism as, say, the sixties were.\n\nWe're the MTV Generation, we don't really know how to think about ourselves unless we're put into some category.  It's happened all our lives, you were either pop, punk, grunge, or raver, and so now that we've grown up and begun to see through the advertising and culture around us, we buy into it ironically and wear ugly glasses.  \n\nWhat can I say?  We're stupid.  But kids will always be stupid.

I have vinyl record collection but would like to download them on to my computer, how do I do it.?

You CANNOT connect the turntable to your line input. Turntable output is very low voltage and it also varies depending on whether you use a moving coil or moving magnet cartridge. An amplifier WITH PHONO INPUT will pre-pre-amplify this singal to line levels so that it can be fed to a tape recorder or your computer. \n\nIf you have an amplifier with phono input then use:\nturntable -> amplifier -> computer line-in\n\nDo not use the SPEAKER output to connect the computer! Use the "tape out" or "line out" of the amplifier for that purpose. \n\n------ WITHOUT AMPLIFIER -------\n\nIf you do NOT have an amplifier, just a turntable, you could consider an external phono amplifier (can be found from very cheap to very, very expensive) between your turntable and the line input of the computer. This is the cheapest and easiest solution but the results could be of relatively low quality, depending on your sound card and on the quality of the phono pre-amplifier.\n\nFinally, consider a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro (semi-pro sound card, ~300$) that comes equiped with a phono input and can accept turntable output directly. This one is also ideal for recording, much more capable than any onboard audio you might have. If you are going to do a lot of recording from vinyl to computer, this card will allow you to record at 96KHz/24bit (much higher than CD quality) and apply noise reduction and other filters. The point of using higher-than-CD resolution is so that the application of audio filters does not degrade quality quickly. You can then  down-sample to CD quality of you want.\n\nThis issue is rather complicated. Getting half-decent results should be relatively easy, but if you need top quality you will need to invest time and money on this.

I really need help on a couple of math problems.  I dont have a graphing calculator, This one wants me too...?

You have to graph them and find the corner points.  One of the corner points will be the answer.\nI found the corner points to be\n(28,52) and (40,40)\nPlug each point into g = 3x+y \nFor (28,52): g = 3(28) + 52 = 136\nFor (40,40): g = 3(40) + 40 = 160\n136 is the smaller value, so (28,52) is the answer.


Do we really believe that our mission IS helping ?

Unfortunately the American population are stupid.

Instead of asking what we did to deserve such an attack. If we're seeing these things our government is doing now, what aren't we being shown?


Am I going to hell for asking if Jesus likes cream and sugar, that one guy told me to watch what I say?

If you ask for forgiveness of your sins in Jesus name you won't go to hell, but if you continue to mock God (assuming you were to beigin with), well...\n\nThose who mocked God....\n\nIt is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): " Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.\n\nHere are some men and women who mocked God:\n------------------------------------------------\nJOHN LENNON:\nSome years before during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:\n\n"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).\n\nLennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.\n-----------------------------------------------\nTANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil):\nDuring the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.\n-----------------------------------------------\nCAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):\nDuring a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."\n\nHe died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.\n------------------------------------------------\nTHE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:\nAfter the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.

is cheerleading the most best sport ever?

Cheerleading is not a sport...it is an activity\n\nbecause there is no cler way to find a winner, just like figure skating or gymnastics shouldn't be considered sports either. A sport is something where a winner can be clearly identified, for example basketball, soccer, or hockey the team with the highest score wins. Or in track and field the person who runs the fastest of throws the furthest wins. However in things like cheerleading judges decide what is better, and some people may agree with or the decision and some not, whereas in a race the person who wins, wins as simple as that.\n\nExpense has nothing to do with it, people who play music have to spend money to but they don't play a sport.\n\nAs for the comment regarding competition cheerleading, in team sports if a player messes up it can cost the whole team, thats why its a team sport. But cheerleading is a team activity. In these competitions, how is the winner determined? by who makes the higher pyramid? no its based on the judges OPINION. \n\nAs for working hard, I'm sure some cheerleaders do work hard at it and it is hard work, but so is gardening, and construction work and you can't call those sports.\n\nLet me say I have nothing against cheerleading but for the above reasons I believe it is not a sport.


what is hbsag+ ? any recovery from this ?

I'm guessing this is an abbreviation for Hepatitis B surface antigen +. This means that a person has made antibodies against one of the proteins on the surface of Hepatitis B virus. This can result from hepatitis B infection or vaccination with the hepatitis B vaccine. This does not necesarily indicate that a person has an infection it just means that they have made an antibody that recognizes one of the viral proteins. It would be best to talk to a doctor for further clarification about the meaning of any lab test.


Ladies, what do you think of being called doll, dear, sweetie, baby, etc.?

Terms of Endearment?  Perhaps you're comfortable with him doing it because you really like him.   ;)


no, two firewalls on one computer is NEVER a good thing. it will cause you way to many headaches to begin with, and can actually leave a false sense of security and could lead to other potential security holes in your system. As for microsoft firewall, it works fine for someone who doesnt need advanced setup options assuming you are up to date on your security updates.

Is it true that Islam does not proselytise or try to win converts,?

ur avatar is really hot.. go out sometime???


Darkness of skin is more complicated then just dominate/non dominate.\nIn the case of your nephew, his wife was carrying a recessive trait for eye color. B=Brown b=blue.\nSo let us guess that you brother has blue eyes...\nhe is a bb while his wife is Bb. so that gives four combinations...\nbB,bB,bb,bb half of which give brown eyes (bB &bB) and half blue (bb,bb) So you can conclude that you  sister in laws family has some caucasion ancesstors.\n\nAs to you and your husband. You must have aleast one non-dominate blue gene, if you brother has blue eyes. You husband will likely have dominate Black or Brown and some other gene. If you look at his parent's eye color and his siblings. If any of them have blue eyes you child can have blue eyes. It is most likely that you child will be darker than you and lighter than you husband


At what age MUST you stop buying clothes in the JR's department ?

It all depends on the individual. It's possible for a woman who is over 40 to dress in a way that makes her look younger. However, you should always practice good judgment. Midriff-bearing shirts and Daisy Duke shorts do NOT look good on a woman who is over 40. For that matter, they don't always look good on women in their teens or 20s, either!

What are some romantic things you can do when taking a girl out for dinner?

First and foremost, LISTEN.  Keep in mind everything she has said throughout the evening.  Just keep it in mind.  Ask questions about her.  Anything you do not know about her ask her.  This lets her know that you are interested in her.  When she stops talking go back to something she said before and ask her a question about it.  Like if she casually mentioned a brother or her family, ask her about them.  It shows that you are listening.

why do oil companies get more and more huge profits when pump prices go up? what r lawmakers doin?

ALL companies want to maximize profit.  That is the purpose of business.  You can set prices near zero and have an extremely large market of customers or you can set prices ridiculously high and have just a couple of customers (if any).\n\nYou don't want to set prices too low because there is a cost of doing business with each of those zillions of customers.  The lower your price, the higher percentage of each sale gets eaten up just dealing with the customers.  Unless you have an unlimited supply, you also face shortages if your price is too low.  The populace realizes it's a great deal and buys it all up, and you simply run out of product.  This, too, is a drain on your profits.  Prices should be high enough so you minimize your inventory storage, BUT you should NEVER run out.  That means your price is too low and you're losing profits.\n\nIf you set your price too high, only a few people can afford your product and they might not even want it.  If you do make a sale, your cost of dealing with the customer is very low compared to your price, but you might have a huge, expensive warehouse full of stock, or you have 7.5 hours a day that you wanted to have been providing services, or you have huge supplies of oil under the ground which will never be sold.  Because of this, you can't set prices TOO high or you also lose potential profit.\n\nThe big challenge to any company is to find the best price to sell in order to balance all of those factors and maximize profit.  Nobody is likely to get it perfect, but that's the big game in business.  Employees have the very same mindset when it comes to balancing home life with hours worked with wages per hour.\n\nYou wondered what lawmakers are doing.  Here are a few things they are doing.  Some of it increases oil company profits, and some increases government profits.  They all increase the price.\n\n1. They enact environmental legislation to make it impossible or prohibitively expensive to drill or refine oil.  This limits the supply and reduces potential competition from would-be new oil producers.\n\nThe current oil company profits look huge because the profits are concentrated among the few companies in the world.  If fair competition were allowed, the profits would be distributed among more companes and wouldn't look so tremendous, plus the overall profits would not be quite so high because competition tends to push prices down.\n\n2. They tax the heck out of gasoline, directly pushing the price up.  If oil were more elastic, this would reduce the demand and push crude oil prices down, but since it is so "essential" it ends up reducing the demand for other products.\n\n3. They prohibit the purchase of oil from certain countries.\n\n4. They hold huge reserves of oil, removing it from the market supply.\n\n5. Instead of selling federally-owned land to the highest bidder, they TAKE (to put it nicely) oil from wells in the Gulf of Mexico to fill the reserves.  This is to cover "royalties" for drilling on federally-owned land.  When the reserves are full, they charge royalties which increase the cost and price of domestic oil.\n\n6. They build roads and enact legislation making it illegal to drive most alternative types of vehicles on the roads.\n\nI'm sure they are doing more things to increase the price of oil, but that's what I can think of at the moment. :)


Why do I get color in a tanning bed and sometimes I don't? The bed, the time, and the lotion are the same.

It probably has to do with the beginning pigment/ color of your skin- for example, maybe your skin was light to begin with, then got darker with one tanning. On your second tanning, maybe it barely got darker, because your skin was already tanned. Some skin has a limit for tanning. This is because some people have more or less oil in their skin, and some people's skin does not tan nearly as much as other people's; both are examples of the array of different skin types. Also, the condition of your skin fluxuates between seasons and different weather (dry vs. oily, etc.), which may also be a factor in accepting the oils/UV rays from the tannning bed. P.S.- Try not to do this too much if you want healthy skin.


what is the name of the hormone that females produce when they ovulate?

In humans, the period when ovulation occurs is called the ovulatory phase, and it occupies the fourteenth day of an idealized twenty-eight day menstrual cycle. Because of the variable nature of the menstrual cycle in vivo, however, normal ovulation can occur as early as day 8 or as late as day 20 and beyond. A woman with a particularly short cycle will ovulate earlier while a woman with a long cycle will ovulate later. In humans, concealed ovulation means that the female shows few visible signs of being fertile, compared to most species.(disputed — see talk page) There are evolutionary analyses of how this could evolve in terms of evolutionary game theory.\n\nBefore ovulation, the ovarian follicle will undergo a series of transformations that are necessary for the ovum to survive afterwards. This process is called cumulus expansion. After this is done, a hole called the stigma will form in the follicle, and the ovum will leave the follicle through this hole. It will then enter the fallopian tubes and travel toward the uterus, implanting there 6-12 days later if fertilized, or degrading in the fallopian tubes within 24 hours if not fertilized.\n\nThe ovulatory phase is preceded by the follicular phase, where an immature follicle-encased ovum completes growing, and followed by the luteal phase, where the uterus is prepared to receive the fertilized ovum. The complete process of follicle growth leading up to ovulation is known as folliculogenesis.\n\nScientific investigations like [1] have indicated that the olfactory acuity or the sense of smell is greatest during ovulation in women.\n\n[edit]\nA closer look at the process\nStrictly defined, the ovulatory phase spans the period of hormonal elevation in the menstrual cycle. The process requires a maximum of thirty-six hours to complete, and it is arbitrarily separated into three phases: periovulatory, ovulatory, and postovulatory.\n\n[edit]\nPrerequisite events\n \nHistology of the preovulatory follicleMain page: folliculogenesis\n\nThrough a process that takes approximately 375 days, or thirteen menstrual cycles, a large group of undeveloped primordial follicles dormant in the ovary is grown and progressively weaned into one preovulatory follicle. Histologically, the preovulatory follicle (also called a mature Graffian follicle or mature tertiary follicle) contains an oocyte arrested in prophase of meiosis I surrounded by a layer corona radiata granulosa cells, a layer of mural granulosa cells, a protective basal lamina, and a network of blood-carrying capillary vessels sandwiched between a layer of theca interna and theca externa cells. A large sac of fluid called the antrum predominates in the follicle. A "bridge" of cumulus oophorous granulosa cells (or simply cumulus cells) connects the corona-ovum complex to the mural granulosa cells.\n\nSimply stated, the granulosa cells engage in bidirectional messenging with the theca cells and the oocyte to facilitate follicular function. Research is elucidating the specific factors used in follicular messenging at a rapid pace, but such discussion is beyond the scope of this article.\n\nBy the action of luteinizing hormone (LH), the preovulatory follicle's theca cells secrete androstenedione that is aromatized by mural granulosa cells into estradiol, a type of estrogen. High levels of estrogen have a stimulatory effect on hypothalamus gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) that in turn stimulates the expression of pituitary LH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).\n\nThe building concentrations of LH and FSH marks the beginning of the periovulatory phase.\n\n[edit]\nPeriovulatory phase\nFor ovulation to be successful, the ovum must be supported by both the corona radiata and cumulus oophorous granulosa cells. The latter undergo a period of proliferation and mucification known as cumulus expansion. Mucification refers to the secretion of a hyaluronic acid-rich cocktail that disperses and suspends the cumulus cell networ
