well if its only one class that she does that.. BUT still that is not wat a friend would do! If i were you i would talk to her alone like at one of your houses or even during lunch at skool. just say " i need to talk to you privatly" and then she'll understand that its important and you can just tell her that u dont like her leaving you behind. if she is your friend, she'll understand.


how do i figure out what size mountain bike is right for me?

Best way to do it is to go to a bike shop and they are always willing to assist with questions. Try a few different bikes and find out which one is most comfortable. \n\nMake sure you figure out the (ask them) the 'frame size', 'wheel size' (Most are 26") and possibly the style of frame (eg. XC).\n\nThen you have an idea of what bike suits you and you can start looking for a 2nd hand one to purchase.

names of any person who got paid a million for a commercial (if any)?

Lord David Dundas created the original jingle for the UK television channel 'Channel 4'. He was paid a royalty for what amounted to the playing of four notes around 20 times a day. After several years the channel commissioned a new jingle and made sure they owned it themselves, but by this time Dundas was worth several million pounds.


is better read the book before going to see it in cinema?

I feel its better to read the book first. Movies tend to leave a lot of the story line out for obvious reasons. Plus with a book, you can use your imagination and pick up the emotions of the characters better. Definitely read a book first.


A work that is created (fixed in tangible form for the first time) on or after January 1, 1978, is automatically protected from the moment of its creation and is ordinarily given a term enduring for the author's life plus an additional 70 years after the author's death. In the case of "a joint work prepared by two or more authors who did not work for hire," the term lasts for 70 years after the last surviving author's death. For works made for hire, and for anonymous and pseudonymous works (unless the author's identity is revealed in Copyright Office records), the duration of copyright will be 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.\n\nUnder the law in effect before 1978, copyright was secured either on the date a work was published with a copyright notice or on the date of registration if the work was registered in unpublished form. In either case, the copyright endured for a first term of 28 years from the date it was secured. During the last (28th) year of the first term, the copyright was eligible for renewal. The Copyright Act of 1976 extended the renewal term from 28 to 47 years for copyrights that were subsisting on January 1, 1978, or for pre-1978 copyrights restored under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), making these works eligible for a total term of protection of 75 years. Public Law 105-298, enacted on October 27, 1998, further extended the renewal term of copyrights still subsisting on that date by an additional 20 years, providing for a renewal term of 67 years and a total term of protection of 95 years.\n\nPublic Law 102-307, enacted on June 26, 1992, amended the 1976 Copyright Act to provide for automatic renewal of the term of copyrights secured between January 1, 1964, and December 31, 1977. Although the renewal term is automatically provided, the Copyright Office does not issue a renewal certificate for these works unless a renewal application and fee are received and registered in the Copyright Office.\n\nPublic Law 102-307 makes renewal registration optional. Thus, filing for renewal registration is no longer required in order to extend the original 28-year copyright term to the full 95 years. However, some benefits accrue from making a renewal registration during the 28th year of the original term.

NURSES......is nursing a good career choice?

Nursing is an excellent career choice if you have the ability to block out negative energy.  I nursed for 4 years and had absolutley no problem at first, but once i started seeing so much pain and suffering day in and day out, i could no longer separate my job from my life and found myself sinking into a depression thinking about all the people that I had seen suffer and die.  Unfortunately I could not get the good to outway the negative anymore and was forced for my own sanity to quit doing what I loved.


According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word sport was first used to describe athletic endeavors in 1863.  Prior to that the word was used as early as 1440 to describe more general pasttimes and activities.\n\nThe word itself is a form of another word, disport, which ties back to the French word deporter, which means to divert, to amuse.\n\nIt's usage around the world probably stems from a couple of reasons: 1) that a similar word developed in local languages that have the same basis as English but, more likely, 2) that they are simply adopting the English word for this activity

Which states did and which states did not ratify the 16th Amendment?

That same year, the income tax amendment passed overwhelmingly in the Congress and was sent off to the states. The last state ratified the amendment on February 13, 1913. The Springfield Republican reported "The Sixteenth Amendment owes its existence mainly to the West and South, where individual incomes of $5,000 or over are comparatively few."[13]\n\n\nThirty-eight states ratified the sixteenth amendment, and thirty-seven sent formal instruments of ratification to the Secretary of State. (Minnesota notified the Secretary orally, and additional states ratified later; we consider only those Secretary Knox considered.) Only four instruments repeat the language of the sixteenth amendment exactly as Congress approved it. The others contain errors of diction, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. The text Congress transmitted to the states was: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." Many of the instruments neglected to capitalize "States," and some capitalized other words instead. The instrument from Illinois had "remuneration" in place of "enumeration"; the instrument from Missouri substituted "levy" for "lay"; the instrument from Washington had "income" not "incomes"; others made similar blunders.\n\nThomas insists that because the states did not approve exactly the same text, the amendment did not go into effect. Secretary Knox considered this argument. The Solicitor of the Department of State drew up a list of the errors in the instruments and—taking into account both the triviality of the deviations and the treatment of earlier amendments that had experienced more substantial problems—advised the Secretary that he was authorized to declare the amendment adopted. The Secretary did so. . . . Secretary Knox declared that enough states had ratified the sixteenth amendment. The Secretary's decision is not transparently defective. We need not decide when, if ever, such a decision may be reviewed in order to know that Secretary Knox's decision is now beyond review.

what is the difference between flammable and inflammable?

There is no difference in meaning and little or no difference in use. \nChemicals, gases or cloth materials that are flammable / inflammable catch fire and burn easily. Perhaps, in usage, cloth materials are usually described as inflammable. So we might say: 'The material from which these car seats are made is highly inflammable. And conversely, certain gases or chemicals may be thought of as flammable. So we might say: 'Aircraft fuel is highly flammable'. But there are no hard and fast patterns.\n\nAll this is somewhat strange, because usually when we add a prefix such as in- or un- or dis- to the beginning of adjectives, adverbs and verbs, we give them the opposite meaning.

you can't\nmost states are  no fault, and the only way to contest them would be for money and child support / custody, but once papers are filed, the dissolution of marriage ( as it's known in legal terms ) will be granted, it might take longer if it's contested, but eventually who ever filed will get the judgment and you cannot stop it. He also does not have to give a reason ( hence the term no fault ).\n\nNew York Has A Version of No-Fault Divorce\n\nNew York does not have no-fault divorce as such. Instead, New York's version of a no-fault divorce requires that the spouses live apart from one another for at least a year before a divorce can be filed. The parties must execute a Separation Agreement, which must be filed with the local County Clerk before the one-year period begins to run. The spouse suing for divorce must prove that he or she has substantially performed the terms of the Separation Agreement to obtain a divorce. If you obtain a divorce based on a written Separation Agreement, you don't have to sign any papers or give any testimony about reasons for the divorce. In other words, no personal allegations against either spouse are necessary. There are other grounds for divorce in New York which are explained below.\n\nThere are several steps that must be completed before you can file for a divorce in New York State.\n\nResidency Requirements\n\nFirst, you must satisfy the residency requirements set forth in Domestic Relations Law §230. To file for a divorce in New York you must satisfy one of the following residency requirements:\n\n1)The marriage ceremony was performed in New York State and either spouse was a resident of the state at the time of the commencement of the action and resided continuously in this state for one year immediately before the action began;\n\nOR\n\n2)The couple lived as husband and wife in this state and either one is a resident thereof and resided in this state for a continuous period of one year immediately prior to the commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n3)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and either party is a resident thereof and lived in this state for a continuous period of one year prior to commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n4)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and both parties are New York residents at the time the action is commenced;\n\nOR\n\n5)If you and your spouse were married outside of New York and you never lived together as husband and wife in this state and the grounds for divorce did not occur in this state -- either you or your spouse must presently be a resident of New York State and have resided continuously in the state for at least two years prior to bringing this case.\n\n\nServing the Summons and Complaint\n\nSecond, you must ensure that the court has jurisdiction over your spouse (the Defendant) by arranging for him or her to be served with a Summons and Complaint or a Summons With Notice.\n\nStep 1: Your divorce action begins when you purchase an index number and file the summons with the County Clerk’s office.\n\nStep 2: Your spouse must then be served with a copy of the summons by being personally given the document. It is important to determine where your spouse is located. If he or she lives in New York State, the server must be a resident of New York State, over eighteen years of age, and CANNOT be a party to the action (this means you may not serve your spouse with the summons).\n\nIf your spouse is presently residing outside of New York State you must still ensure that he or she is personally served with the summons. It is preferable to have this service accomplished by a New York resident, although this might be costly. If you use a non-New York State resident to serve your spouse outside of the State, the server must be a qualified attorney, solicitor or the equivalent in that state or nation. Otherwise the person must be authorized to serve papers pursuant to the laws of that state.\n\n \n\nThe person


if you buy a pair of boots and the store gives to 2 of the same foot and you pay 24.99 and they credit you 5?

Thanks for the points. But seriously. You paid for shoes and got two of the same foot? If you notice most stores have policies to have the cashier check that, so it must be common. First of all go to the store and demand the other shoe and if they don't have it demand full credit. It's a totally reasonable request. Ask for the store manager and repeat the same. They will give you what you want. If that doesn't work (which it should) and since you mentioned credit (if that's the case) call the credit card company and dispute the charge. You will hear from the store soon enough and probably end up with more than you paid. Unfortunately sometimes you have to make a bit of noise to get treated right.


Financial analysis is the analysis of the accounts and the economic prospects of a firm.\n\nFinancial analysts, among other tasks, use to compare financial ratios (of solvency, profitability, growth...)\n\nbetween several periods (the last 5 years for example) \nand between similar firms. \nThose ratios are calculated by dividing a (group of) account balance(s), taken from the balance sheet and / or the income statement, by another, for example :\n\nNet profit / equity = return on equity \nGross profit / balance sheet total = return on assets \nStock price / earnings per share = P/E-ratio

why is the african american race 90% in the jail system?

im black and i would say a lot has to so with there up bringing.  alot of them were born into single parent home with out a male or should i say a positive male role model or not one at all, they became the man of the house utilizing the survival skills known on the streets in order to survive with perhaps good intentions to move there families out of the hood which work for some and others got caught up in the game, getting high off there own supply falling victim to there own self destruction and down fall.  then you have those whom were abused or raised by the system whom developed anger and hostility and there way of coping was to and is to punish society for failing them etc... all races committ crimes! yet the black race has a higher rate due to poverty and ignorance as a result of illiteracy and poor education and up bringing and discrimination does play a key factor in the scheme of things when it comes to jobs, education and housing do to profiling.  yet blacks feel cheated and robbed by the white man and want to hold them accountable for actions taking before there time which in facts effects their future as well as their children and childrens, children.  i teach my children that you can not change the past you can only grow and learn from its experience as well come up with an alternative sollution to evolve and grow from others mistakes and remember that famous quote from rodney king "can't we all just get alone?"but the problem here today is that you have ignorant parents from both sides of the table brain washing children to hate and discrimate and once that seed is set and planted it blooms doom, gloom and hatred against others, therefore blame the parents.

Their track "Jazz Thang", featured on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's film Mo' Better Blues, helped establish the sound of jazz rap, although they themselves consider their sound solely straight hardcore hip hop.\n\nThe group was founded in 1987 with Guru, DJ 1,2 B Down, Mike Dee and various producers, such as Donald D, J.V. Johnson or DJ Mark The 45 King. In 1987 and 1988 they released three 12" vinyl singles on the legendary Wild Pitch label, and in 1989 Guru and DJ Premier (then working under the name Waxmaster C) met for the first time. In the same year they released their first single "Words I Manifest" and went on working together as a group for six albums, a 2 CD "greatest hits" compilation and numerous singles and soundtrack contributions.

what came first an egg or hen.why and how?

This is actually very easy to answer, based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise, many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous, making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect, making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken, it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However, whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken, that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?


In English military parlance, D-Day is a term often used to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. Whilst the initial D in D-day is not an abbreviation of anything, it is taken from the word day and represents a variable, designating the day upon which some significant event will or has occurred; see Military designation of days and hours for similar terms.\n\nBy far, the most well known D-Day is June 6, 1944 — the day on which "Operation Overlord" began — commencing the Western Allied effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. However, many other invasions and operations had a designated D-Day, both before and after Operation Overlord.\n\nThe terms D-day and H-hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential. There is but one D-day and one H-hour for all units participating in a given operation

How does one become an Addiction Counselor in Maine?

I'm a therapist.

Is united nations a biased organisation? if not how ?

The organization is biased. Specifically, it is biased towards the 5 permanent members of the Security Council (Russia, United States, United Kingdom, France, China.) The Security Council passes some of the most important measures in the UN and is usually the one that prompts a serious international effort (not the general assembly as might be believed.) It has those 5 permanent members and 10 elected members. Yet if a measure goes to vote there and ends up 14 For and 1 Against, and the one "against" happens to be one of those 5 permanent members... The measure fails. \n\n14-1 and 1 wins. This is why the UN can't usually pass any serious measures. Most major world problems involve 1 of these 5 countries and therefore they and they alone can prevent any action against their interests by simply vetoing the resolution, regardless of world opinion.

can you have acupuncture on your knees for arthritus if you are a diabetic?

You can have acupuncture if you are a diabetic.  In fact you very well may see some benefits beyond pain relief.  You will want to tell your acupuncturists about your health problems, such as your diabetes, if you are insulin-dependent, if you have any sorts of complications like diabetic neuropathy, etc.  If you have skin infections or ulcerations due to poor circulation, extra care will be taken to avoid needle insertion in that area.  Make sure you find an acupuncturist who has the proper credentials, and they will have educational and clinical experience in dealing with your situation.


a 1kg ball is dropped vertically on the floor with 25m/s.it rebounds with initial sspeed of 10m/s.?

impuse is the change in momnetum which is mvfinal - mv initial\n\ntherefore 10*1 - (-25)*1 = 35 kg/ms. Took down as minus therefore 25ms becomes minus in the equation.\n\naverage force is therefore just the impuse divided by the time of contact and is therefore \n35/0.02 = 1750N

What is a Truce or agreement that ended World War I?

Treaty of Versailles (1919) was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and Germany. After six months of negotiations which took place at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed in November 1918 in Compiègne Forest (which had put an end to the actual fighting). Although there were many agreements to the treaty, one of the more important and recognized agreements required that Germany accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-247, make reparations to certain members of the Allies.

Sold Ebay item. Filed updaid dispute, rec'd fees back. M.O. came. Can WesternUnion, USPS,etc get me if I cash?

If I understand correctly - after not receiving payment for an ebay item you sold, and going through the procedure, you then got the late money order.  So you either have been paid twice, or you have the item and the payment. Is that right? \n\nAnd you are wondering if Western union or USPS could "get you" for casing the money order.  The answer is "No."  It isn't their problem.  If the situation is as you described, the person who sent you the money order could legitmately "get you" i.e., sue, attempt to get Ebay to do something -- but Western Union etc don't have grounds to do so.  And I suppose the guy who sent the order won't know that you eventually got it.  So feel free to pocket it, if your conscience is no problem.

I can't eat beef. Could someone tell me what causes my body to not intake beef?

I know what you are talking about, certain foods like this Red Meat, eggs, etc. can be hard to digest for some people.  Have you ever heard of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)? You might want to ask your doc, about this and see if you might have some of the tendecies of IBS.  And also there are some books out there about this too.\n\nKristina

Girls, would u date a guy who doesn't eat meat but in other ways very right for u?

Absolutely. I was a lacto vegetarian for three years. It got pretty lonely as even my family would avoid me and not invite me to family dinners because they thought I was just being too weird. It would have been nice to talk to someone more like me. That would be a pretty silly reason not to date someone, though. I don't care what others do or don't eat as long as they are not cannibals!


Any birthday party ideas for 8 yr old girl outside the home (other than pump it up) in Bellevue, Wa area?

We did this in the home, but they do have people who do it at their location.  For my daughter's 8th birthday we had a tea party.  The girls dressed up.  We had juice diluted tea in her tea set.  Heart shaped peanut butter and jelly.  They danced and played and put makeup on each other and did nails.  Then, we played a game where one person is blindfolded and they put lipstick on the person next to them.  That makes for great pictures.   \nGood Luck

my business net income is $3K added by accountant says "accounting adjustment" what is that!? Now more TAX!

OK, let's see here. An accountant is making an accounting adjustment and they can not or will not explain why they are. Sounds like to me your being taken advantage of. Keep in mind, your accountant works for you. Now I am curious to know what type of business you are in. Most small businesses really don't need to hire an accountant in the first place. If you hired an accountant to do your business taxes that I can understand, however, they should be able to explain everything to you. You may even want to fire the accountant if they do not explain everything to you. Be forceful, remember you own the company, not the accountant.


I concur, "Empire" is also my fav.  "Return of the Jedi" is a close second.  The middle movie rocks, since it's sole purpose is to build on the plot.  It does not have to introduce the entire idea, nor does it have to finish it up.  It can develop the characters and plot.  And, of course, the whole "losing his hand and finding out that Darth is his father" scene for Luke makes the whole film.  Yoda rocks, obviously.  "I love you... I know" is also a classic.  And the movie ends with the promise of so much more.  "Empire" rocks.


about 1 hour ago i told my childrens father of 5 years that 21/2 years ago i cheated on him w/his freind......

Ummmmmm wait a sec - do I have this straight?\n\nHe cheated on you - you forgave him and gave him a 2nd chance?  \n\nYou later cheated and he won't give YOU a 2nd chance?\n\nWell that about says it all if I have that straight.. he doesn't want to give you that 2nd chance because this is HIS way of getting out and 'blaming you for it'.  I bet he has another 'side'.... I'm so sorry, and realize that you have already punished yourself enough, and that you TRIED to be honorable and tell him the truth, and if you could forgive him and he won't you, he's being a JERK!  I'm sorry /comf!


Sex is a wonderful, and integral part of a marriage. If one party is no longer interested, there IS a reason. Seek counseling and get to the bottom of it!! My (now ex) wife would not, and we had sex 4 times the last 6 months we where together.. Or I should I had sex 4 times, she had it a lot more, so I found out later.. Like I said, something is wrong.. .Depression, cheating, resentments, physical illness, something!


Do you believe there will be a backlash over the protests on May 1st?

1st let me say that you, annoyed American are the most clear thinking person I have had the pleasure to read since I've got on to this website.  keep up the good work, I'm glad your out there. And yes there had better be a backlash by any and all Americans who would like their towns, cities and country back.  The quality of life has been taken away by the only nationality that has come into the US hating, disrespecting America.  I am tired of having the children  of these 'hard working' ILLEGALS  who have joined gangs stare down my family in my home town with violent, hateful looks every day.  My children are constantly harassed in school by the children of these people. Our parks are now littered with diapers and trash. Our streets are strewn with old mattresses and trash.  I want my town back!!!This is not the country I grew up in any longer.

How is it you can go out and kill someone, rape a child, deal drugs, and get a public defender for FREE..?

Here's the problem.\n\nUntil someone has received a fair trial (and sometimes even then), it's often very difficult to determine if they really are guilty, or if they are innocent. Because the state/government has significant legal resources available, the only way to ensure a fair trial is to make sure the defendant/accused has legal representation.\n\nBut remember that the criminal defendant only has legal representation for the initial trial and any guaranteed appeals. They do not have unlimited access to an attorney for any other claims they wish to make. And even if the attorney is appointed by the state (meaning, free for the defendant), that's part of the taxes we pay.\n\nAs to CIVIL trials, the rules are different. Each side has to pay their own legal bills,  or get someone else to pay the legal bills. His parents are paying his. That's just one of the unfair realities of a society where money makes a difference.\n\nUnless you can find someone to pay your legal bills, or find an alternative, then there will be an imbalance. Have you looked at free/low-cost legal clinics, non-profit legal aid organizations, pro bono (free) legal referral services? There are options out there.\n\nThat being said, even with imbalanced legal representation, if the judge is doing his/her job, the fact that your ex has been in jail should count significantly toward qualifications as a parent. Just don't let the process intimidate you. Don't get emotional. Just make sure the court is aware of all the facts.


hi! bronnimoose did you get my email? please respond.?

leave them alone the devils cool hes in me too and gave me cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I think you might be asking about the main statement.  This takes the form\n\nvoid main (void)\n{\n}\n\n(ok, sometimes other forms such as int main(int, char*){})\n\nIt is normally used to signify the entry point for an execution unit.\n\nBut, knowing this won't help you much.  There are hundreds of books on the subject, but you should start with K&R.  You won't learn C from Yahoo answers.

Reality is truly self created, perception is all. THis is a very commonly accepted principle and one argued against by those who are certain that God created the only true reality.

Your son's OCD is in no way a result of your belief in self-created reality, as another poster inferred. Take care.


what is the next best thing about JAVA over .NET except 'platform independent' ?

Not much. Indeed .NET was developed to include all the features of Java. Indeed .NET can be platform independent as well, the only thing that is missing is a CRE created for an OS different to Windows.\n\nJava has a lot more support from the "Free Software" side, so a lot more things can be found for free on Java than .NET\n\n.NET is installed right inside the new versions of Windows, so people doesn´t need to install addicional pieces of software to run a program.\n\nYou can have amazing Java Editors for free (like Eclipse).\n\nAnd so on, and on... and on.\n\nThe fight can last for ever, and some times it's more a decision of "In which side are you?".\n\nOf course, if you know Java many companies can employ you, and if you know .NET many others will do. But if you know both, that will open opportunities in both worlds.

Is there going to be another oil crisis?

It is already here.  But we don't want to change and continue to use gasoline like when it was cheaper.  It will start affecting how we travel and live when the price continue to increase.

Why does M. Schumaker nolonger dominate F1 like he used to?

He won yesterday 4/23/06.\nBut i guess that doesn't mean he is back to dominate.\nBesides isn't it more fun to watch, when your not sure who is going to win.\nThat's one of the things that makes NASCAR so popular.

It's possible but it's VERY dangerous. Not to mention, diets that cause you to lose a large amount of weight in a short amount of time are damaging to your health, and you will most likely put the weight back on shortly after you lose it. My advice would be to eat healthy and exercise every day for the rest of your life, you will be healthy, and keep the weight off.


What do you do if your life ins. application is denied?

First of all, find out the reasons why it was denied.  It may have been in error.\nThen consult a professional.  Even if it was denied by a major company, there are other companies that may take you.\nAnother option could be put the money into a variable annuity.  It would carry a death benefit along with it.


Why do people always have to pay to get their own domain name?

Technically you never own your own domain...it is really a Lease and you are simply paying a rent for the ability and use of that domain name. Why do you have to pay? Because some one has to cover the cost of administration and convenience of domain name registration. Why do you need to register? So that only one entity has a domain name and no one else can use it. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to own a domain name go check out godaddy (the link below.

What are some ideas to keep a marrage passionate and alive in the bedroom?

Yeah, been there, done that, got the T-shirt! What you need dear lady is a babysitter and a date! Get Grandma and Grandpa, best friend , sister, brother, whoever is your most trustworthy babysitter to take the young'un off your hands (and mind) for a night you and hubby can both make the time for- go out to dinner (budget dinner is just fine, just make it romantic), go for a walk after, hold hands, remind each other why you got married in the first place, and then go home and light some candles!


Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were all known in ancient times.  They are named after Roman mythological figures (other societies had different names for them, but the Roman names are what we use in the West).  Uranus (1700s), Neptune (1800s), and Pluto (1930) were discovered after the invention of the telescope, but the tradition of Roman Gods was continued by the discoverers.  The only discoverer's name I can remember is the famous astronomer William Herschel, who discovered Uranus.  I'm sure you can find out the names of Neptune's and Pluto's discoverers with a Google search.

How do you hit a golf ball to be able to get a back spin?

Moving the ball back in your stance is very dangerous.  The ball can go way right on you.  Making proper contact and the type of ball you use are the key.  You have use a ball that will spin.  Balls like Pinnacle, Top Flite, and HVC don't have a lot of spin.  Pro vi is good.  Your groves should be clean, and you can't spin the ball out of flier lies.  Which are grassy lies.  The club hitting the ball and the ground pinch  the ball and create the spin.  You may want to go to www.playgolfamerica.com and take a free golf lesson from a PGA pro in your area.  You can also go to www.pga.com improve your game section and look at all the tips.

Cárdenas (San Juan de Dios de Cárdenas) is a town in the Matanzas Province of Cuba, about 150 km (75 mi) east of Havana.\n\nThe municipality of Cárdenas extents over 320 km² and includes the communities of Cantel, Fundición, Guásimas, Marina, Méndez Capote, Pueblo Nuevo, Santa Marta, Varadero and Versalles\nCárdenas is a maritime town on the level and somewhat marshy shore of a spacious bay of the northern coast of the island (Bahia de Cárdenas), sheltered by a long promontory (the 'Hicacos peninsula). The city lies between the sea and hills.\n\nA large quantity of asphalt has been taken from the bed of the harbour. A flow of fresh water from the bed of the harbour is another peculiar feature; it presumably comes from the outlets of subterranean rivers.\n\nThere are mostly narrow streets, various squares (including the Plaza de Colón, with a bronze statue of Columbus given to the city by Queen Isabella II. and erected in 1862) and substantial business buildings.\n\nVaradero, on the peninsula at the mouth of the bay, has a long beach (considered one of the best in Cuba), and many all inclusive resorts and vacation villas are to be found.\n\nCárdenas was founded in 1828, and in 1861 already had 12,910 inhabitants. The completion of the railroad in 1841 led to further development.\n\nIn 1850 General Narciso Lopez landed here on a filibustering expedition, and held the town for a few hours, abandoning it when he saw that the people would not rise to support him in his efforts to secure Cuban independence.\n\nOn 11 May 1898, during the Spanish-American War, the Battle of Cárdenas was fought here. In this engagement an American torpedo boat and revenue cutter attacked a Spanish gunboat and shore batteries, and Ensign Worth Bagley was killed—the first American naval officer to lose his life in that war.\n\nIn the early 20th Century, Cárdenas was one of the principal sugar-exporting towns of Cuba. By 1907 the population was 24,280. The shallowness of the harbour necessitated lighterage and repeated loading of cargoes. The surrounding region is famed for its fertility.


Tendon repair How much it take to recover?

Since tendons have a decent blood supply, they'll take a while, but not too long, to recover. I'd say in about 4-6 more weeks you'll be completely recovered.\n\nThere's no risk of breaking the tendon by weight, but you could collapse against it and fall and break something else. Or, if during the surgery, they stitched it, by putting weight on it you could break the stitches. Just don't put weight on it.\n\nNo real vitamins help, but if you'd want real help on that, go see your doctor or a nutrition specialist. I don't think that vitamins will really help tendons though.\n\nWhatever happens, just remember to take the time recovering. Don't try to rush yourself. I did that when i broke my leg in 5 places at once, and since then, my leg hasn't been perfect.


If SEX is seen as just pro-creational what are married couples supposed to do after 40 ?  Give it up  ?

I really don't think it's an issue of what's wrong or right or if you "sin" that's a bad thing.  The point of all the preaching is about what is best for you spiritually.  The people that do the preaching have turned it into what's bad and good and make it a morality issue.  \n\nReally, what you need to think about is what does sex do to you.  Promiscuous sex solely for seeking pleasure can run the risk of addiction, disease, etc., and isn't good for the soul or heart.  In a karmic sense, sex in marriage as an expression of love is less of an attachment - meaning one is less likely to get caught up in it and with love and responsibility of the marriage it kind of nullifies the lust from sex.\n\nSo the question is what is your spiritual quest or goal?  Nothing?  Just getting to heaven?  Or do you want to become a saint?  If you just want to get to heaven then I don't think sex in marriage or with commitment and love will keep you from that.  If you're looking to be a saint then letting go of desires and being celibate is probably necessary.


How do you find out if a girl is single, if you only see her every now and then, but are shy to ask?

STOP BEING SHY!\nThe fear of doing it is greater than actually doing it.\n\nThe next time you see her just ask her if you could take her out for lunch sometime.\n\nDon't listen to the girl above me.\nIf you're attracted to someone you can make the first move...doesn't matter if you're female or not. If you sit around waiting for someone to come to you it's probably not going to happen. \n\nWomen today aren't afraid to do what needs to be done to move forward, doesn't matter if it's their "duty" or not. \n\nAnyway, back to my orignial advice:\nJust ask her! That's the only way you'll know for sure.

Actually, William Taft is usually considered the 27th president of the United States. This is because Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms, and is considered to be both the 22nd and the 24th presidents of the United States.\n\nOtherwise, yes it would be Wilson, but historically we usually refer to Taft as our 27th president and Wilson as the 28th.

My tax due is going to be very high.  I need to find a legal way to reduce tax.?

401(k) have a maximum amount of contribution so you would have to check what is that amount. And Im not sure if you can contribute a lump sum. I know that if you have a traditional IRA, you have until April to put in any last minute contributions for 2005, so probably the same can be done.\n\nAs for legal ways to reduce your tax, I mean if you itemized and have your own property, you can deduct the real estate taxes and mortgage interest paid in the property. Also you can deduct medical expenses, charitable contributions, union dues, tax preparation fees, unreimbursed employee expenses. If you live in state where there is a sales tax, you can deduct such amount either by entering the exact value of sales tax you paid or using the IRS tables to calculate an amount. Also if you recently bought any vehicle or boat in 2005, you can also deduct the sales tax on that purchase. \n\nWhat else, oh yeah, if you live in area that was affected by the hurricanes, an area that has been designated by the IRS as a disaster area, you can take other several deductions that can help you out. \n\nIf you have any student loans, you can deduct the interest on those loans. Or if you still go to school, you can deduct the tuition expense.\n\nIf I knew a bit more info on you I could probably help you out more.\n\nHope this helps!

In the Quran, is there an explicit mention of  Allah's love towards his people? Where exactly?

Allah's love is more than 40 times than our mother's love toward us. That is the reason people don't get punished immediately as he gives them chance to change with understanding. \n\n\nNow understand ALLAH as follows\n\n\n\nTHE RELIGION OF ISLAM\nThe first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means.\n\nThe religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim", The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.\n\nIslam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion Islam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'an, Allah states the following:\n"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:3)\n\n"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Surah Aal'imraan 3:85)\n\n"Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim."\n(Surah Aal'imraan 3:67)\n\nNowhere in the Bible will you find Allah saying to Prophet Moses' people or their descendants that their religion is Judaism, nor to the followers of Christ that their religion is Christianity. In fact, Christ was not even his name, nor was it Jesus! The name "Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos which means the anointed. That is, Christ is a Greek translation of the Hebrew title "Messiah". The name "Jesus" on the other hand, is a latinized version of the Hebrew name Esau.\n\nFor simplicity's sake, I will however continue to refer to Prophet Esau (PBUH) as Jesus. As for his religion, it was what he called his followers to. Like the prophets before him, he called the people to surrender their will to the will of Allah; (which is Islam) and he warned them to stay away from the false gods of human imagination.\n\nAccording to the New Testament, he taught his followers to pray as follows: "Yours will be done on earth as it is in Heaven".\nTHE MESSAGE OF ISLAM\n\nSince the total submission of one's will to Allah represents the essence of worship, the basic message of Allah's divine religion, Islam is the worship of Allah alone and the avoidance of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah. Since everything other than Allah, the Creator of all things, is Allah's creation; it may be said that Islam, in essence calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its Creator. He is the only one deserving man's worship as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. If man prays to a tree and his prayers are answered, it was not the tree which answered his prayers but Allah who allowed the circumstances prayed for to take place. One mi

The morel is a type of edible cup fungus. It produces a highly porous ascocarp, prized by gourmet cooks, particularly for French cuisine.The best known morel is the Morchella deliciosa, which is commonly known as simply "morel." Other types include orchella esculenta, M. elata, M. semilibera, and M. ulgaris. Mushroom hunters will commonly refer to them by their color, i.e., gray, yellow, black, etc., as the pecies are very similar in appearance and vary onsiderably within species and age of individual mushroom.The morel is the state mushroom of Minnesota.When gathering morels, care must be taken to distinguish them from the poisonous false morel (Gyromitra esculenta and others). However, morels are fairly distinctive in appearance.The morel grows abundantly in the two and sometimes three years immediately following a forest fire, but where fire suppression is practiced, may grow regularly though in small amount in the same spot year after year. These spots may be jealously guarded by mushroom pickers, as the mushrooms represent a cash crop. They may grow near certain types of trees in symbiotic relationship with them, although this is not yet proven. (There is some evidence that disturbance-following morels may be different species than those growing in relatively undisturbed sites, but genetic confirmation has not yet been accomplished.) Commercial pickers and buyers in North America will follow forest fires to gather morels. Morels have not yet been successfully farmed on a large scale, and the commercial morel industry is based on harvest of wild mushrooms.

How do I transfer files from one computer to another without using a CD, or removing drives? A cable maybe?

If you have firewire, use that - it's fast.  I think if you use an ethernet cable, that should work also.  You just have to use the Windows Networking Wizard thing and it should be fine.

How can I find peace in hectic daily life without looking too far into the future and just enjoy today?

Today is all you have (the short answer). I am still embroiled in the quotidian struggles of worrying over finance etc. But keep in mind that most of us are, and that you may take at least some small comfort in the knowledge that others are commiserating with you (the stoic option). Instead of focusing on what you do not have, place priority on what you do have (youth, a husband, job, etc). Small pleasures are to be seized when they emerge, so do not sully your enjoyment of them by focusing on a future that is still somewhat uncertain.

It is not because of testing. As stated by WWE positive test will not result in suspension. Here is an article I read about R. O.\n\n"The PWTorch Newsletter is reporting that Randy Orton’s suspension is due to his behavior backstage at WrestleMania 22. \n\nThe issue with Orton seems to be mostly due to his attitude about how he is a main eventer and feeling that he does not have to follow the same rules as everyone else, as opposed to doing something to someone else or his health. The word going around right now is that Orton feels he is above the rules, and has had several issues in the past backstage, mainly with female co-workers and the way he talks to them. \n\nRandy Orton is one of the least liked people backstage, and has the most heat of anyone right now. The Undertaker is said to despise Randy Orton, and it’s not just an issue with “serious people” not liking his attitude, as people who love to party like Ric Flair and Kurt Angle do not like him either. \n\nThis suspension is likely to be very good for locker room morale, and it doesn’t look like anyone will be missing him backstage."

Where can I find information about off base housing in the marines?

I read that your hubby is in NC til June 2nd.  I take it he is at training down there in J-ville.  When he gets permanent orders (like any thing is permanant?!!), Go visit with him.  Go to the Housing Office.  His command should direct him their as part of his check in being how he is married.  If not, for the Navy it is either part of FISC (Fleet Industrial Supply Center) or FFSC (Fleet and Family Service Center).  The Marine Corp is part of the Navy, so the structure is similar in some ways. \n\nAnyways, You can get off-base housing and he should get extra money to pay for it.  You can also do on-base housing if it is available.  You don't pay for regular on-base housing, but some places have PPV (Private something Venture) which are homes that are subleased to the GOV for housing (money comes out of your paycheck like with off base housing that you sign for through the housing ofice).  Many bases are getting rid of on-base housing because it is getting really expensive to upkeep all those old buildings now.  \n\nAlso, if you have to move, most states have a law that allows military to get out of a lease if they are moving atleast X number of miles away under permanent orders.  Check into the state laws if you think you may ever have to break a lease. \n\nMake sure you are comfortable with the area you intend to move into.  Many bases have some bad areas around them (thugs think the service members are rich!!)  Talk to people at your hubby's command, the housing ofice, at the laundry matt, etc.  They will tell you where not to move.  Go to the area you think you will be interested in at different times of the day to include evening and late night-to see what really goes on there.  Go on a week night and a weekend night, too.  You can also pretend to want to buy a house-realators are good at knowing where not to go (i nobody else will help).  \n\nYou have like 10 or 14 days to live in a hotel for reimbursement (on your husband's order if you are a dependent).  His command may allow him 10 days of free leave for house hunting also.  Make sure he asks or it.  If he's new to the service, they most likely won't offer it to him. Good luck!


why is bloodtransfusion the least prefered method in management of iron deficiency anaemia?

Because blood transfusions are extremely invasive and there are many non surgical things a person can do to help with this problem. Like eating foods high in iron. Liver, green leafy foods, etc. can help. Your doctor could prescribe you iron pills that are more potent than the over the counter iron pills. What helped me and a friend of mine with anemia is drinking more grape juice and drinking ginseng. It made a huge difference in our health.

I'm trying to make a java array of 100 buttons. The buttons are supposed to be in a grid layout of 10x10?

What does it mean when you have dreams that your teeth rot and fall out?

In general, dreams about losing one's teeth are common and suggest the dreamer feels powerless or out of control in a real life situation. Here are some more meanings for dreams about teeth: \n-To dream of loose teeth is a warning of untrustworthy friends. \n-If your teeth fell out or you spit them out, you are anxious about money.


Did you know if you make fun of religion you can lose custody of your child?

No we shouldn't.  But unfortunately in the times we live in there is to much religious sway.  Look at the supreme court.  Luckily the ACLU is involved and the woman will recieve legal counsel and wont have to pay out the rear end.  Its also good that the media, well one at least, is picking this up.  I'm sure other will be outraged.  Her rights have certainly been trampled on.  Not only in the fact that the reasoning behind the case is a mess, but the fact they had a court hearing without giving her due notice and while she is out of state is illegal.  \n\nThis is messed up on so many levels, all my positive energy and thoughts go out to this woman.  I'm sure justice will be done for this woman as more than one of her rights have been trampled on.  The right people have gotten involved anyway.  This is dispicable.


I have pain throughout my body and i suffer from fatigue.I also suffer from depression at times what can it be

sounds like either chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia.\nOr could be depression or hypothyroidism.\nActually that is what I had before I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism.\nYOu can and should order the blood test for this at \nhttp://www.healthcheckusa.com\n\nWhat you describe is hypothyroidism, under active thyroid gland and ten percent of all people in the US have it, especially women. VERY common and causes what you are describing but doctors donot check for it much for some reason. YOu can order the TSH test for it yourself at that link I gave you.It also runs in families so if your daughter and sister had it I do believe it is hypothyroidism.

What is the best way to explain the difference between the fixed rate i.e. 6.75% and the APR at 6.90%?

The APR is the required method used by the government that allows people to compare the combination of rates and fees offered by different companies.  The APR is always higher than the interest rate because it takes the fees for the loan into the calculation.  The APR is only used for comparison and will never again factor into the loan.  If they want to reduce the interest rate by paying points up front this is a way to compare the different options by looking for the low APR.\n\nMost people are fine with this expl. because you mention it is the governments fault that this crazy number is on the TIL.  Also you mention it will never again affect the loan after they close. \n\nGood luck this is the hardest question in all of lending.

Does it make you feel safer knowing that Bush has confidence in Rumsfeld?

Bush is a moron and Rummy is a pompous prick! I think that if anyone knows anything about how to properly fight a war it would be the Generals who consider Rummy unfit for the job. It's obvious that he (Rummy) is incompetent, look at what has been going on in Iraq.

Why do gay men always go straight to the penis and start touching the nipples?

I would like to answer the question in a grown up fashion because this is a natural situation.  I would think that if 2 of any people are engaged in sexual conduct, they are likely to indulge in the behavior in a mutually desirable action.  I don't think that they are doing whatever because they like nipples or penises.  I image they are doing it out of desire, for erotication, and pleasure.  They probably touch more than those two body parts mentioned above:  like kissing, massaging, caressing, anticipating, and HEAVY BREATHING!  Leave these folk alone.  Stop wondering. You might just be wrong.
