Confraternity of Christian Doctrine \nAn association established at Rome in 1562 for the purpose of giving religions instruction. Till about the thirteenth century, the Apostles' Creed and Paternoster formed the general basis of religious instruction; all the faithful had to know them by heart, and parish priests were commanded to explain them on Sundays and festivals. Then the range of instruction was widened to include the Commandments and sacraments, the virtues and vices. The Synod of Lambeth under Archbishop Peekham, in 1281, was content to order priests to explain the truths of faith four times year, but the Provincial Council of Lavour, in 1368, commanded parish priests to give instruction on all Sundays and feast days. This council also published a catechism to serve as a textbook for the clergy in giving instructions in Christian doctrine, which was followed in all the dioceses of Languedoc and Gascony. Similar manuals were published elsewhere. The Council of Trent, seeing how multitudes had fallen from the Faith through ignorance of their religion and recognizing the truth proclaimed by Gerson more than a century before, that church reform must begin with the religious instruction of the young, issued the "Catechismus ad Parochos", and decreed that throughout the Church instructions in Christian doctrine should be given on Sundays and festivals. \n\nBut the work of organizing religious instruction had already begun. In 1536 the Abbate Castellino da Castello had inaugurated a system of Sunday schools in Milan. About 1560 a wealthy Milanese nobleman, Marco de Sadis-Cusani, having established himself in Rome, was joined by a number of zealous associates, priests and laymen, pledged to instruct both children and adults in Christian doctrine. Pope Pius IV in 1562 made the church of Sant' Apollinare their central institution; but they also gave instructions in schools, in the streets and lanes, and even in private houses. The association growing, it divided into two sections: the priests formed themselves into a religious congregation, "The Fathers of Christian Doctrine", while the laymen remained in the world as "The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine". Encouragement from the Holy See was quickly forthcoming. In 1571, Pope St. Pius V, in the Brief "Ex debito pastoralis officii", bore witness to the good already accomplished, and recommended bishops to establish it in every parish. Pope Paul V, by the Brief "Ex credito nobis", in 1607, erected it into an archconfraternity, with St. Peter's, Rome as its head centre. A rescript of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences, in 1686, urged its establishment wherever possible. From Rome it spread rapidly over Italy, France, and Germany. It found advocates in Cardinal Bellarmine, St. Francis of Sales, and St. Charles Borromeo; who drew up a code of rules and established it in every parish of his diocese. \n\nThe First Provincial Council of Westminster urged that its members should be used in both Sunday and day-schools, but while Sunday-schools are plentiful, the confraternity is only sparsely established in England. Lastly, in 1905 Pope Pius X strictly ordained that "in each and every parish the society commonly called the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine shall be canonically erected". If the central confraternity in a diocese is affiliated to the Archconfraternity of Santa Maria del Pianto in Rome, all others participate in all the confraternity indulgences. \n\nSimilar in scope and character to the above are the PIEUSES UNIONS DE LA DOCTRlNE CHRÉTIENNE, founded by the Dames de l'Adoration Perpetuelle at Brussels in 1851, for giving religious instruction to boys and girls. In Brussels they are found in about thirty parishes. In 1894 Leo XIII erected it into an archconfraternity for Belgium. \n\nTHE ARCHCONFRATERNITY OF VOLUNTARY CATECHISTS (Oeuvre des Catéchismes) was founded to help parish priests

Can you get a divorce without having a lawyer?

Yes, it is called filing "In Pro Per", and is the cleanest, least troublesome way to do an uncontested divorce. Just go to your County Clerk's Office and ask for the forms for Dissolution and Uniform Custody Order....if issues DO arise about which you and you ex-to-be do not agree, many jurisdictions offer mediation services free or at very little cost.\nGood luck.\n\nPS, there is absolutely NOTHING illegal about not hiring a lawyer, the person below is mistaken in that statement.


Can a car dealer change their mind about giving you a loan after you have signed a contract?

YES, they can take the car back ... read ALL of the paperwork that was signed. The car company wants you to fall in love with the car, so it does everything possible to get it out the door PLUS protect themselves. I will bet your friend gave their car as a trade in ... it is now probably sold at auction ... When you read the small print, there will most likely be something that protects the car company and they can get their car back, but there will be nothing in print or in any contract that allows your friend to get their car back. Your friend is stuck purchasing a car from this dealer. \n\nThe ONLY resolve I can think of: Since lawyers usually won't scare a car company ... they usually have iron clad contracts on their side. Threaten calling the BBB and tell them you are going to file a complaint with the BBB. The car business SURVIVES on reputation and the BBB will tell too many people not to take care of this problem as soon as possible.\n\nREAD BEFORE YOU SIGN ... EVERY WORD!\n\nGood luck

I am interested to know the definition of "Dollar" - and where does this word come from?

From Wikipedia:\n\nThe name is related to the historic currencies Tolar in Bohemia, Thaler or Taler in Germany, Daalder in the Netherlands and Daler in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The name thaler (from Thal, or nowadays usually Tal, "valley") originally came from the German Guldengroschen ("great gulden", being of silver but equal in value to a gold gulden) coins minted from the silver from a rich mine at Joachimsthal (St. Joachim's Valley) in Bohemia (then part of the Habsburg Empire). The name "Spanish dollar" was used for a Spanish silver coin, the peso, an eight-real coin, which was widely circulated during the 18th century in the Spanish colonies in the New World. The use of the Spanish dollar and the Maria Theresa thaler as legal tender for the early United States is the reason for the name of the nation's currency. The word dollar was in use in the English language for the thaler for about 200 years before the American Revolution. Spanish dollars, or "pieces of eight" as they were called, were in circulation in the Thirteen Colonies that became the United States, and were legal tender in Virginia.\n\nThe dollar was also in use in Scotland during the 17th century, and there is a claim that it was invented at the University of St Andrews.\n\nUntil decimalisation in 1971 a half crown coin in the United Kingdom was popularly refered to as half a dollar doubtlessly stemming from the similarity of a crown (issued latterly only as a commemerative coin) resembling a US silver dollar in size and also in value for a number of years.


Its not a good idea.  There are 3 crimes that you ought to avoid in USA.  They give you life easy if you are convicted.  If you are convicted of murder, convicted of rape, and convicted of grand larceny.  I mean, these three crimes will land you in jail for the rest of your life.  I would rather cheat someone, and employee, or cheat a customer.  I would never steal anything.  Its just not worth it anymore...hehee..."anymore"  But, do look into a job, because sometimes you only need to find a job to realize what its worth.  Id rather break into an abandoned home and work out of there till you have enough money.  Its alot better then stealing.  Breaking and entering may not be much in jail if you are caught.  Especially an abandoned home.  They will take it to heart that you are a homeless with no where else to go.  Try going around looking for things that you can find on the streets to sell.  The easiest is cans.  There are other things of course.  Or, try to get money for an ax and try selling chopped wood.  I mean its better then throwing your life away.  Good luck bro...


The only way to reduce love handles is to reduce your overall body fat level. Unfortunately many people have certain limited areas where fat tends to deposit first and go away last. There is nothing you can do about this. It is controlled by genetics and may change with age. You may be able to make it look beter by developing the underlying muscles. A good all round weight training program coupled with a reasonable diet is the best plan. \nAnother exercise that affect the underlying muscles are hanging, twisting knee or leg raises. I'd recommend doing ses of high reps (50-100 or more).

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

From style.org, who has put far more time into this than I could ever do:\n\n"Although a definitive answer would of course require further measurements, published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel study of birds flying at a range of speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers based on that study all lead me to estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour."\n\nAccording to the article, kinematic data for the African swallow species is hard to come by, so as of right now the velocity of an African swallow is unknown.


dell dimension 8250 cpu only upgrade to faster one possible, or have to get whole new motherboard?

Dude, you bought a Dell... and you got boned...HARD (if you paid anything near $2,000+ for it).\n\nOdds are, you are going to need a new motherboard to get any appreciable increase in speed over what you are using now.  \n\n______________________\nUPDATED:  FYI, when Dell shipped computers with RDRAM, there was a tremendous premium on that memory compared to the (then and still now) defacto standard, DDR.  Same goes for the HT processors, which show only marginal performance increases over their non-HT-enabled counterparts.  (Many applications perform much worse with HT enabled.)\nDo your wallet and applications a favor and invest in an ASUS motherboard, an AMD processor, and some quality DDR RAM.  \n__________________________\n\nIn the future, NEVER buy from Dell, unless they start shipping machines with AMD processors, which are a better set of products, hands-down.  Dell is great at mass-producing scores of inexpensive computers, loading in a few "high-end" parts and shipping them out the door at a tremendous profit.  All at your expense.\n\nWhen anyone who is really into computers say "Dude you got a Dell", it isn't a compliment.  Think about tht when you buy (or build) your next machine.

How can you make your own games? Using what software?

Fortunately you have TONS of options.  Unfortunately you have TONS of options.\n\nIf you're looking to do professional game development, learn C/C++, OpenGL, and DirectX.  There are hundreds of websites dedicated to game development that can help get you started, but my recommendation is to start with a good book that takes you through the steps with a sample game.  Most bookstores have entire sections dedicated to game development.\n\nIf you're not concenred about "professional" development and just want to try making some games quickly and easily, there are several good pre-fab tools to do so including:\n\nJamagic and Multimedia Fusion (http://www.clickteam.com),\nDarkBasic (http://www.thegamecreators.com),\nBlitzBasic (http://www.blitzbasic.com),\nTorque (http://www.garagegames.com)\n\nAll of these have an associated cost to license the software, but provide engines that handle all of the rendering, sound, and environmental complexities for you.  For the most part, you simply come up with an idea, piece it together, and add some script logic.  They're also a good springboard into more advanced topics since you get a feel for what it takes to work within a game development framework which is what most modern games are developed around.\n\nGood luck!


Why don't you kids do your own homework?

You can anticipate the quality of both the questions and the answers improving over time; partly as the "novelty" factor wears off and partly as people who aren't earning points get bored from the lack of positive feedback and go away.  At some point the "search" function of the site should become more useful than the "ask" function.  (At least, this is how I think Yahoo expects it to go.)

You are going to get better accuracy, but so far with Yahoo, I would say the answers have been very accurate.

Modiste - someone who makes or mends dresses.\ndressmaker, needlewoman, seamstress, sempstress\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/modiste\n\nDressmaker is a person (usually a woman) who makes custom clothing for women, such as dresses, blouses, and evening gowns. Also called a mantua-maker (historically) or a modiste.\n\nHistory of dressmaking\nThe Oxford English Dictionary first records dressmaker in 1803. Throughout the nineteenth century and until the rise of ready-to-wear, most women who did not make their own clothes at home resorted to a local dressmaker, who copied or adapted the latest fashions from Paris based on printed illustrations called fashion plates.\n\nToday, custom dressmakers fill a niche between haute couture and ready-to-wear, and are most often consulted for one-of-a-kind special occasion dresses, such as wedding gowns and prom dresses.\nhttp://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/dressmaker


Carbs or no carbs for diabetics, I am confused?

Depending upon which 'carbs' you are talking about.  Veggies or bread/cake types?? \nDiabetes as you know is having too much sugar in the blood(unable to use it all as energy) which causes you to need more insulin or at the very least watch the sugar intake so you don't spike.  If you don't use the sugar and over time your body has too much to process, it fills up it's stores of sugar and you get diabetes. (layman's terms).  Unused sugar becomes fat but it also can become diabetes.  So beyond exercise to burn energy it's on the diet.  Sugars, breads, starchy foods, fruits (even potatoes, esp.  sweet and yams...) turn to glucose the quickest in your body therefore increasing your blood sugar.  If you want to slow that process, retard it in any way, then watch your entire sugar/starch/refined foods intake period!!  \nHere is a list of suggestions based on my studies(I'm studying nutrition) and although I'm not a doc I am using well-respected info as a guidline.  You can recheck this and look at real statistics to see what works, not just the theory.  Look at history of how people actually eat versus what some docs might have said about earlier guidelines, that may be outdated and inappropriate.  \n\nVeggies are good.  And they are carbs.  Especially the leafy greens(high in mins/prots), cruciferous(broccoli/cauliflower/brussel sprouts), asaragus, squash, lettuces, tomatoes, all kinds etc...\nLean meats are good like turkey, chicken, deepwater fish(limit due to heavy metals in ocean-research) and occasionally red meat which is high in saturated fat but ok at times. Nuts are good too and great for when your blood sugar drops and you need a quick healthy boost(macadamia, walnuts, peanuts, almonds@! and occ. cashews(high in sat. fat).  Tofu and soy products are also good and yes they can be cooked to taste awesome!  Just try! Protein slows down the digestion process which allows the body time to go through the metabolic process and bring sugar to the endocrine system slowly...as compared to actual sugar or bready-type  foods which process the moment they are in your mouth(amylase is a carb enzyme that is in the mouth, breaking down food immediately).  The longer food takes to break down to it's ultimate form, glucose, the more time your body has to cope with and distribute safely without spiking your blood sugar.  \nSO, again, carbs is a big vague word.  Avoid processed foods like cakes, crackers, breads and instant rices/pastas.  No sugary sweets especially with pure white sugar.  Eat mostly veggies, meat, lean cheeses and WHOLE grains that have high fiber(not processed cereals and such) that also require the body more time to break them down(quinoa(high protein grain), brown rice, amaranth, Irish oatmeal... etc...) Whole grains mean you really have to cook them, they are not processed and in a box with 2 min. instructions.  Once in a blue moon is okay, perhaps with a pile of Thai veggies on top!! yum... \nThe more processed, the less your body has to break them down, the quicker the sugar is released the faster your blood spikes!!  \nSo get slow food....process slow and then digest slow.  Ultimately slowing your blood sugar spike.  \n\nIf you have to have a sweet, dulce as they say in latin.  Try something fruit-juice sweetened and eat it around another protein rich meal so that your body is not bombarded with a hit of sugar alone.  Or try an apple with a big dollup of peanut or almond or hazlenut butter on it...yum!!  It really will taste good and your body will appreciate it.   \n\nHope this helps!!\nGood luck!  \n\nOh, also go online and look up books that are low in sugar, low on the glycemic scale and higher in protein and nutrients. www.diabetes.com and other sites.  The more you know about how it works in your body, the more control you can have over what you WANT to eat so that you won't hurt yourself.

Meaning\n\nTo be caught in the act of commiting a crime. The red hands come from the victim's blood. \n\nOrigin\n\nThis originates in 15th century Scotland. Walter Scott provides the earliest printed version of the phrase in Ivanhoe, where it appears as 'taken red handed'.


Apathy.  America was founded on the prinicple that all men (and women) are created equally.  They have been endowed by God with the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\n\nOver time, a number of politicians have become greedy and self-serving.  Instead of going to serve the people, they serve themselves.  And to stay in power, they make promises that cannot be kept.  They promise more handouts.  \n\nSome believe that the role of government is to shape society.  Instead of allowing people the choice, government dictatates a lifestyle.  Examples - houses can only be on .25 acre lots, people who own SUVs need to pay more taxes.  People who make $100,000 have won life's lottery, so they need to pay more taxes.\n\nThe challenge is that when politicians give handouts, they are buying votes.  Instead of empowering people, they are making the people dependent on them.  The challenge is that the problems rarely are solved.  You want an example? \n\nIn 1965, President Johnson declared the war on poverty.  His goal was to end it.  40 years and 6 trillion dollars later, we still have poverty in America.  We have increased entitlements and spedning, yet the problems are not solved.\n\nSo why is apathy the worse part of America?  It's because so many have given up hope.  The people with the guts to stand up are few and far between.  Since people are so busy trying to make a dollar to make ends meet, they become easily distracted from solving problem or challenges.  Meanwhile, government officials are trying to remove more and more civil rights and freedoms that are mentioned in our constitution.  And little-by-little, the freedoms go away.\n\nMy friend, freedom isn't free.  A price has to be paid.  If you are not willing to fight for your rights, they will be taken away, regardless of which party is in power.

It appears to me that the only solution that the Bush administration has for fighting the war on terror is?

What you said doesn't sound like the statement of someone living in a dream world to me.  It sounds like common sense.  I think our leaders need to take a refresher course in preschool and kindergarten, because they've clearly forgotten fundamental early life lessons -- like two wrongs don't make a right, the end doesn't always justify the means, and just because all your friends are jumping off a cliff doesn't mean you should too.  I think its our responsibility as citizens to voice our displeasure, tell our politicians to start behaving, and if they don't then get them the heck out of office.


who else loves winter and cold weather? & why?

I love the cold and wintery weather.  It means more hot chocolate, and sitting by the fire with a good book.  Also you get to cuddle with the one that you love!  I love to do that on cold and windy days.  When I don't really want to go out.  About the only thing that I'll do is go to the Video Store and grab a nice movie, sit by the fire and watch the movie cuddled up next to my BF.

I have Hepetitis C ... my HCV RNA QT level is 1,010,000 ... how serious is this?

If you know your quantitative HCV RNA (viral load) is greater than 1 million, then you must be in medical care, right?  There are a number of questions that you should ask your doctor to help you better understand your disease.  First, HCV viral loads are reported in different units - IU/mL or copies/mL.  You likely have a "high" HCV viral load (usually anything greater than 600,000 IU/mL is considered "high").  The viral load has NO correlation with the severity of disease.  You can have a high viral load and no liver damage or a low viral load and extensive liver damamage - it depends.  However, it may make the infection more difficult to treat.\n\nYou should ask your doctor about your HCV genotype (usually 1, 2, 3, or 4) and discuss a liver biopsy.  The liver biopsy (thin needle inserted into liver to collect small sample of liver tissue) is the only difinitive way to determine the extent of damage in the liver.  It will tell your doctor how much inflammation the virus is causing.  With long term inflammation (over years - usually 10-20 years) inflammation can cause fibrosis.  Extensive fibrosis can result in liver function decline.  Over time, cirrhosis (extensive fibrosis) can lead to serious complications requiring a liver transplant.\n\nGet your liver checked - usually a hepatologist is the best source of information as they are experts in the evaluation of liver disease.  There is treatment available and a large portion of individuals eradicate the HCV infection and reverse some liver damage.\n\nLifestyle changes can help your liver as well - stop smoking, avoid alcohol, eat healthy and exercise to lose weight if necessary.\n\nCheck out the following website for excellent information about HCV.


how come th u.s. only cares about ilegal mexicans and not canadans ?

i'm sorry, SHOW3696, but the U.S is not out to help mexicans. Mexicans are only allowed in this country because they are (for the most part) hard working people who are willing to do all the shi tty jobs that no one else will do.  Other than that they get deported back to their country like animals. And the U.S. is talking about closing the border to mexico as well. So, no I dont think we 'help' them at all, at least not as much as they help us. \nI think our gov. should be worried about the REAL terrorists, not the honest hard working people from many countries, not just Mexico, who come here to make better lives. \n\nI know this doesn't answer the question, but still.

I need an honest referral for life insurance?

Schedule a meeting with 2 different local agents from well known companies.  Tell them that you want to get life insurance and wait for their response.  If they don't ask you about your income, assets, loans, future plans.. then they are wasting your time.  You need someone that makes sure you get the right amount of coverage and the right type of coverage.

How do you know if someone is truly interested in you?

There are two types:\n\nThe ones that look at you often for no reason (but dont stare); they ask you questions and take an interest in you\n\nAnd then the others who go all shy around you and can't speak. They look nervous around you.\n\nThere is a third kind but they're psychos. This group stare at you and move uncomfortably close so that you can feel their (bad) breath on you. Get your coat and leave this group ASAP.

What is chronic osteomyelitis and how to treat it?

Osteomyelitis, which I had at age tenish, is an infection within the bone. I am not aware of it occuring in a chronic type. Generally it is an acute event the result of stepping on a nail or a migration of infection from elsewhere in the body, etc. I just happen to have gotten it by having an infection in a tooth that made it to my hip. \n\nTo treat it, I was kept in the hospital for about a month and on a 4 hour regime of antibiotics and lots of fluids. \n\nHere's a link with more information:

Well, I say if this is your first christmas together, you should get him something that only the two of you would understand!!! for ex. when my husband and I first met, my hubby called me Jingle, cause I always would sing Jingles from commercials.  He bought me a bell for christmas, it was engraved, and a very insightful gift, personal and it showed me that he had put some thought into it.

What is the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R discs?

DVD-R (pronounced "DVD dash R") and DVD+R (pronounced "DVD plus R") are nearly identical formats. The discs look the same and are both supported by most DVD-ROM drives and DVD burners. The only difference between the formats is the way they determine the location of the laser beam on the disc. DVD-R discs use tiny marks along the grooves in the discs, called land prepits, to determine the laser position. DVD+R discs do not have land prepits, but instead measure the "wobble frequency" as the laser moves toward the outside of the disc.\n\nThe DVD-R format was developed by Pioneer and was released in the second half of 1997. DVD+R was developed by Sony and Philips and was introduced in 2002. Companies that support DVD-R include Pioneer, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Panasonic, while companies that support DVD+R include Sony, Philips, Hewlett-Packard, Ricoh, and Yamaha.\n\nHowever, most of these companies now develop hybrid DVD drives that support both DVD-R and DVD+R formats. They are known as DVD±R or DVD±RW drives. When looking for media for your DVD drive, make sure it ends in "-R" if you have a DVD-R drive or "+R" if you have a DVD+R drive. If you have a DVD±R drive, you can use either format. DVD-R is still more popular than DVD+R, but since they are both widely supported, it should not matter which format you choose.


Who are the "Knights Templers" and where can I find more info.?

The Knights Templar is a Christian-oriented fraternal organization that was founded in the 11th century. Originally, the Knights Templar were laymen who protected and defended Christians traveling to Jerusalem. These men took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, and were renowned for their fierceness and courage in battle.\n\nToday, the Knights Templar display their courage and goodwill in other ways. They organize fund-raising activities such as breakfasts, dinners, dances, and flea markets. They support Masonic-related youth groups and they raise millions of dollars for medical research and educational assistance.\n\nCurrently, Templar membership consists of people from all walks of life, including doctors, lawyers, clergy, businessmen and entertainment personalities, all of whom profess a belief in the Christian Religion.\n\nfor more information check source.


how is it that AOL is in business and thriving despite their underhanded tactics?

Because people are idoits.  I stopped using aol 10 years ago.  It used to be nice, there used to be a whole world open to you.  Now aol is for idots that barely know how to turn on their computer.  AOL is a dumbed-down user-friendly version of the internet.  It always will be.  People stay on because they can meet other people easier than on the regular internet, but don't realize that their browsing capabiltity is limited and access to the internet is restricted.  AOL also (used to anyway) has one of the worst web browsers available.


iwant to see my offline msgs for today pls.?

In older versions of Yahoo Messenger, there used to be a way to look at your offlin messages. But in newer version of it, you can not look at them as such. If there are any offline messages, they would be displayed as soon as you log in. When you close the window displaying these messages, the messages get deleted, and can not be seen again.\nSo, the only reason why you cant find any offline messages is cuz you dont have any!

Is it possible to convert my triple to a double by removing the little ring?

Well, if you could just remove the small ring the gear ratios wouldn't be the same.  The "normal" gearing for a double is 53 / 39 and on a triple is something like 52/42/30.  If it were me, I'd definately upgrade to Ultegra.  But that's assuming money isn't an object.

Can I BUY a domain. Not for 1 or 2 years, but for ever. So that I can keep it for ever.?

It is not an impossibility. Anything happens on the net.\n\nIn practice, well, there are people who will give you a domain name as long you host with them for a fee. And, of course, you can go on renewing your domain name once in 1 to 5 years. \n\nThe website dot.tk offers you a free domain forever with certain conditions, and without nameservers.\n\nBy the way my domain is registered with godaddy.com, but i won't recommend them. they have a clumsy, sluggish and customer-hostile site and staff.

What is the EFC code means on my FAFSA application?

Estimated Family Contribution.  That is your "FAFSA Score".  It is what you and your family "should" be expected to pay per year for your college experience.  The amount of financial aid you qualify for is typically the total estimated cost of the year of education minus the EFC.\n\nLower is better, but don't freak out if yours is high.  Colleges muck around with the estimated cost of education, regional cost of living differences, etc, to maximize the amount of aid they can offer.\n\nRun, do not walk, to your school's financial aid counsellor and see what they can do for you.\n\n947 is a pretty low number for most schools.  You can probably expect some fairly decent offers of aid.

How do i not go to church when my parents threaten to whip me if i dont?

I'm sorry your parents force you do something you don't want to do. I'm sure they mean well, but understand God himself is not like that. Just hang in there fo the time being. Soon you will be old enough that you will be able to go or not and do what you want to do. But please understand, again, God is not that way. Don't write Him off because you don't like your church or religion. It doesn't matter to him if you ever set foot in a church again, but He does love you and He wants a personal relationship with you. My husband actually went through the same thing. His parents forced him to go to church, so by the time he grew up, he wnated nothing to do with it at all. It wasn't until he was an adult that he actually met God. It turns out God had nothing to do with his parents' church or religion. But God did become real to him and it changed his (my husband's) life forever. So for now just understand church and religion are one thing, but God himself is another.

Staying home and enjoying the night with my family!


Charles John Huffam Dickens (February 7, 1812-June 9, 1870) pen-name "Boz", was an English novelist. During his lifetime, Dickens was viewed as a popular entertainer of fecund imagination, while later critics championed his mastery of prose, his endless invention of memorable characters and his powerful social sensibilities. The popularity of his novels and short stories during his lifetime and to the present is demonstrated by the fact that none has ever gone out of print. Dickens played a major role in popularising the serialised novel. He is frequently referred to by his last name only, even on first reference

When was the word "GAY" first used to describe homosexuality?

Apparently it was first used in the 1938 film, "Bringing Up Baby":\nBringing Up Baby (1938) was the first film to use the word gay in reference to homosexuality. In a scene where Cary Grant's clothes have been sent to the cleaners, he must wear a lady's feathery robe. When another character inquires about his clothes, he responds "Because I just went gay...all of a sudden!"


does any work from home jobs actually work? with little or no money down??

Most of your valid work at home jobs are going to be providing services on the internet.\n1. Copy Writer\n2. Graphic Designer / Web Designer\n3. Programmer\n4. Selling a product through a website. This can be a product you make, a product you buy locally, or a product someone else makes that you "drop ship".\n5. Creating websites that generate traffic on which you can sell advertising space (Yahoo's Overture is a great program for this.) See \n6. Search Engine Optimization services\n7. Scams (Selling guides, systems, etc.)\n8. Pornography (I don't recommend this one, but it is very profitable.)\n9. 100s of other things that can be sold online.\n\nIn my experience, a talented copy writer is very hard  to find (This means you would be in demand.) and can demand top pay once they are established.  However, getting established can take some time and effort.\n\nGood luck.


What is the best way to learn alot of information in a short amount of time without help?

Does it have a Index?  If so look through it first.  Also does it have Headings or words that are bolded or in itallics, if so look over these items first.  Usually the first sentence in a paragraph has the basic info, so you can skim the the book, if the first sentence has good information then read more, if not go on to the next paragraph.  Also the first & last paragraphs in a chapter usually have lots of info.  Sometimes if you go to the end of the book it will have key words or terms that you can read & get a good feel for the book. Each book is different, so it is hard to give hard & fast rules about the best way to get the most info in the least time.  I hope this helps.

When a store has double doors why do they only let you use one of them?

From my experience, it is for a couple of reasons.  First, the holiday season can be crazy for stores, and it helps the store control crowds better if everyone enters through one door and exits through one door.  Also, it is a loss prevention issue.  Shoplifters want to make a quick exit, and employees can keep track of people leaving the store better if they are only exiting through one door.

Are you yes or no for the death penalty?

I don't want to kill anyone in cold blood. That's how I see the death penalty. If the government is doing the killing, and we the people are the government, then it is us ALL OF US doing the killing.\n\nAlso, there have been cases of innocent people being put on death row. Aint no coming back from dead.\n\nthe reason I start with the "in cold blood" comment is because I agree with many that say that they would fight to death to protect their own family. I would too. If I could catch the murderer in the act, I would kill them if that was needed to stop them. But once we have them in jail, we just need to agree to keep them in there.


My I-94 is about to expire but my visa is valid till 2008, what I should do?

You have to leave and reenter the country, because you become an illegal immigrant as soon as you I-94 expires. The I-94 supercedes your you visa. The visa allows you to enter the US until 2008, the I-94 regulates the length of each visit.  You didn't get until 2008 because you probably have a tourist visa.\nOr you can apply for permanent residency.

How to convert powerpoint slides  into PDF format?

You can download a free small, spam- & virus free pdf maker program called pdf955.  Basically, it's acts like a printer.  You open the file you want to covert, and you "print" it.  You will select PDF955 (which shows up as a printer), and when you hit print, instead of printing to an actual printer, the program converts it to a pdf.\n\nI have been using this program for over a year now.


An artificial reef is a reef created by man in places where reefs do not occur naturally.\nTo enhance recreational fishing and sport diving opportunities in coastal waters, and to increase the amount of productive hard-bottom habitat available overall, man can participate (with significant help from nature) in the creation of additional man-made, or "artificial" reefs. This is accomplished by placing suitable long-lived, stable and environmentally safe materials (usually steel or concrete) on a selected area of ocean bottom.\n\nOnce the material is in place it acts in the same way that naturally occurring rock outcroppings do in providing hard substrate necessary in the basic formation of a live-bottom reef community. \n\nSince there is nothing artificial about the myriad of living organisms which eventually colonize and inhabit almost every square inch of these man-made structures, the term artificial reef may really be somewhat misleading. When properly designed, located and constructed with an adequate quantity of stable and durable substrate, man-made reefs can be equally as productive in theory as naturally occurring hard- bottom habitats, limited only by the life-span of the materials utilized. Given the variety of materials currently in use on many artificial reefs, some reef structures in place now could remain productive for the next one to five hundred years.


What's the best pickup line to use at parties?...?

Pickup lines are lame. What you have to do is have an excuse to make someone talk to you.\n\nHere's what you have to do:  Walk into the room with your hands full of 4 drinks (they have to be closed bottles of beer or malt beverages so that you don't look like some creepy guy trying to give some shady drink).  With your hands full, announce to the room:  "Who needs a drink?"\n\nPass out one or two of the drinks to guys nearby to the girl that you want to pick up.  Then, hand the girl a drink, even if she already has one in her hand, say "here, have another."  If she's at all interested, she'll keep the drink, saying thanks or explaining why she likes another brand of beer better, etc. and you can start a conversation.  Open your drink and start chatting.  If she's not interested at all, pass out the last drink that you have in your hand to another person in the room, then "realize" that you have to go get yourself a drink.  It's a great exit strategy if you've made an ass of yourself, non-threatening to the girl, and instead of a cheesy pickup line you have an excuse to start talking to her.


Where can I find a free Network Security Suite Softare that is available on the web?

The network security suites available commercially, such as Norton Internet Security, PC-Cillin, and ZomeAlarm Security Suite do not have counterparts (as suites) in the freeware category, but there are a number of good freeware applications you can use to build your own suite.  If you go to the page below, you can review several categories, each with a number of applications, from which you can provide reliable free protection for a PC.


How successful was the cross between a tiger & a lion- a tigon?

The animals (cross between male tiger and female lion)are sterile but healthy, they are smaller than either of their parents.  The Liger, which is a cross between a male lion and female tiger, does not do so well, since they lack the growth inhibiting genes and continue to grow until their bodies fail from the stress.


If Vice President Cheney either dies/becomes unable to "perform his duties", how is his successor chosen?

The U.S. Consitution, as adopted in the 18th century, did provide for succession to the office of the President, but did not provide a way to fill a vacancy in the office of Vice President.\n\nThis was covered by the 25th Amendment, which was adopted in 1967.  The 25th Amendment includes the following text, in section 2: "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."\n\nAnd quoting from the relevant article in Wikipedia (linked below): "Gerald Ford was the first Vice President selected by this method, after the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew in 1974; after succeeding to the Presidency, Ford nominated Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President."\n\nSo the answer is not that the Speaker of the House would become the Vice President, but rather that the President selects someone to fill the vacancy, and Congress confirms the appointment.


What purpose does the subscript serve in algebra, e.g. a (subscript)n ?

It's a notational convenience.\n\n1) It helps avoid the problem of running out of unique symbols when working with a large, possibly infinate, set of variables.\n\n2) It provides a way to keep track of ordering in a set of variables when that ordering makes a difference.\n\n3) It makes it possible to express the values of a sequence of variables when their value depends on their position in the sequence. An example would be the Fibonacci sequence where each number in the sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers (the first two being defined as 1). It can be expressed as: \n\na(sub)1 = 1\na(sub)2 = 1\na(sub)n = a(sub)(n-1) + a(sub)(n-2)

The light-year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the total distance that a beam of light, moving in a straight line, travels in one year. To obtain an idea of the size of a light-year, take the circumference of the earth (24,900 miles), lay it out in a straight line, multiply the length of the line by 7.5 (the corresponding distance is one light-second), then place 31.6 million similar lines end to end. The resulting distance is almost 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles!

Why do people read the King James version of the bible?

Because they cant read the original Hebrew for the Hebrew Scriptures, or the original Greek for the Christian's New Testament. Therefore they must rely on someone else's translation. \n\nRemember that modern translations are copyrighted, and the organizations that translated them make money when every book of their translation is sold. The KJV is so old, going back to 1611, that it has no copyright anymore, so it is free. That is why it accompanies many, if not all, computer Bible Programs.\n\nAlso keep in mind that the KJV was the only version available, and then the only version acceptable, to many denominations of Christianity for a very long time.\n\nPlease also remember that the person or organization who does a translation is biased, and their translation will reflect their own theology, regardless of whether or not a verse in the original actually says what they claim it says. No translation is totally right, and some are better, and some are worse, than others.

How to play a media file with extension .mov ; even quicktime player is unable to play it?

If your Quicktime is unable to play a .mov file, it is either a corrupt file, not an actual .mov file at all (beware of a virus!) or you do not have the correct compression configuration installed on your computer.  If it's the third, try and find out from the maker of the file what they used and where to download the decoder.

No we as humans do not love to be rejected, we as humans have the need to be loved as much as we love others, it is just like the one person said free will comes into the mix, that other person is also right in that you have a good heart, don't ever change, being of kind heart will reward you in the end, try making new friends, some friends are for different reasons and seasons, some are long term, some are short term, I'm 50, I have had many friends like that, I learned to still love them, just not to brake my heart over their lack of caring, it is just the way they are

what is islam? what is its document  that  it is an inspired riligion?

Islam - means submission (to GOD). A Muslim is one who submits himself (to GOD). Islam is the only religion around today in which its text(QURAN) has not been changed since it has sent down from God to the Prophet Mohammed(PBUH). The Quran is the Text in which nobody has been able to find any fault/doubt in.\n "This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil)."(CH.2 V.2)\n\nThe Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) was illiterate he couldn't read or write. So its impossible for him to have written the Quran. God also challenges anybody to come up with a chapter similar to it.\n\n"Or do they say: He(Mohammed Peace be upon him ),  has forged it? Say: then bring a chapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.  (Chapter #10, Verse #38)"\n\nEven though some of the small chapters are only 3 lines long, till this day nobody has been able to produce a single chapter like one in the Glorious Quran.

Why does grass smell only when you mow it?

While good old lawn grass may not grab the same attention as colorful azaleas or mighty redwoods, it's a fully functioning plant in its own right. This means it has chlorophyll, the green pigment that gives plants their color and enables them to carry on the process of photosynthesis. As it turns out, the molecular structure of the chlorophyll is similar to that of the "heme-" portion of hemoglobin (i.e., blood), except that the latter contains iron in place of the magnesium found in chlorophyll. \n\nNow fresh cut grass doesn't smell exactly like blood, but you can see the relationship. They both smell sharp, acrid, and a bit metallic. That's because they share a similar molecular structure, based around magnesium (chlorophyll) or iron (hemoglobin). \n\nSo there you have it. Now, just make sure you take time to stop and smell the chlorophyll.

No. Probably not, but some people think they are now:\n"Spiders are the dominant terrestrial carnivore," said Ward Wheeler, curator in the division of invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and lead investigator for the U.S. $2.7 million Spider Tree of Life project. "They are all predators—they have a huge influence on the ecosystem."\nFrom:http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/10/1031_031031_tvspider.html


Age isn't as important as maturity and so many other factors, like life goals, and personality compatibility. We all are at some stage in life. A great marriage is one in which both parties are of pretty much equal places in maturity, experience, wisdom, ect. they want their lives to go the same place at the same speed, understand and happily accept the self sacrifice it takes to get there. \n\nDifferences make for exciting mates and excitement in dating is a good thing but they make for an unhappy marriage in the long haul. In other words, who you prefer to date might be the exact opposite of who you should marry and as you mature, you'll know the difference between the two.\n\nAs it is, this is nothing but my opinion gleemed from life experience. I have no other qualifications to answer it and it should be taken as a persons opinion and nothing more.

With each passing day man approaches closer to his death but still makes merry by celebrating birthdays...why?

It is a reminder that life is a gift and can be taken away.  You think you have a right to live? Wrong! Society has fabricated this false sense of security.  The highest court cannot stop a car from hitting you, your heart from stopping or someone breaking into your house and shooting you.\n\nDid you ever go somewhere or do something that was for a short time and wanted to go back or do it again?  Well think of your life that way.  People don't realize what they have until it is gone.  \nI was in a motorcycle accident.  Although I wasn't injured, I have pain from the injuries.  I can't do things like snowboard or even lay down on the floor and hold a baby over my head.\n\nYou don't realize what you have until it is gone.\n\n(although I am not big on birthdays myself)\n\nare you Zerocool from PS?

explain the argument for cultural relativism?

Cultural relativism is the principle that an individual human's beliefs and activities make sense in terms of his or her own culture. This principle was established as axiomatic in anthropological research by Franz Boas in the first few decades of the 20th century, and then popularized in the 1940s by Boas's students. Boas himself did not use the term as such, and the term became common among anthropologists after Boas's death in 1942 (the first use of the term in the journal American Anthropologist was in 1948); thus, the term itself represents how Boas's students summarized their own synthesis of many of the things Boas taught them.\n\nCultural relativism involves specific epistemological and methodological claims. Whether or not these claims necessitate a specific ethical stance is a matter of debate. Nevertheless, this principle should not be confused with moral relativism.

my question is,in which cource i will be able to earn more money?physio therapist,biotech or computer science?

It seems to me that the best return on investment would be Physical Therapy.  The need for physical therapists would seem to grow as the population ages.  \nBiomedical engineering may offer a higher reward but the possibility of continued employment is lower. \nComputer science may be offshored and is somewhat stagnant right now. \n\nThe personal service professions -PT, nursing, medicine cannot be de-localized so positions will always be available where ever you may move.

What recourses are there for lost property due to a failed business?

Your only recourse is with the courts.  If the business filed bankruptcy, you must file a claim for the value of your property.  If not, then take the owners to small claims court.  Either way, you may not see your money for years while your claim is processed.\n\nGood Luck!


What is the most important club in golf?

That's a very good question.  The answer to that question would depend on the golfer you ask.  I personally believe it is the putter, but that's just me.  If it was your husband who said he needed a new sand wedge then he would know.  As far as a more important club, that would depend on your husband's skill with the rest of the clubs in his bag.  If this is a gift you might be able to get a golfing buddy to casually ask what your husband considers to be his most important club, and go with that, if not the best way would be to ask him straight out.  I know I would like it if my wife were to ask me to go with her to get a club for me, but that's just me. LOL!  At any rate good luck with your purchase.

How long must you live together to be considered common law in S.C.?

This is pretty interesting...in South Carolina a common-law marriage is established if a man and woman intend for others to believe they are married.\n\nSouth Carolina\n\nThe criteria for a common law marriage is: (1) when two parties have a present intent (usually, but not necessarily, evidenced by a public and unequivocal declaration) to enter into a marriage contract; and (2) "a mutual agreement between the parties to assume toward each other the relation of husband and wife." See Tarnowski v. Lieberman (S.C. Ct. App. 2002). The minimum age for such a marriage is sixteen years-old as established by South Carolina Code of Laws 20-1-100 (2004).

what is the boiling point of 2.0 M aqueous solutionof NaCl?

We will assume that 2.0 M NaCL(aq) is a dilute solution.  Therefore, 1 L of water weighs 1 kg.  For concentrated solutions, such as acids, you need to know the density of the solution.\n\nTo know the boiling point, use the formula\nDT = Kb * m\n\nWhere DT = change in temperature\nKb = boiling point constant (0.52 for water) \nm = molality.\n\nFirst, calculate the molality of the the solution\n\nMolality = moles of solute per kiograms of solven\n\n\n2.0 moles of NaCl / 1 kg solvent = 2.0\n\nDT=Kb * m\n= .52 * 2.0\n= 1.04 degrees\n= 1.0 degrees (using 2 significant digits)\n\nSo, water boils at 100 degrees C, so the boiling point of 2.0M NaCl is 101 degrees C.\n\nHope it helps.\n\n-Mark

Forget about time spent staring at progress bars or watching the clock. You’ll be flying around the Internet in no time with the speed of FiOS.

What is a "food group pyramid", and how is it used?

The Food Group Pyramid is a way that most food groups are broken down. Normally there are 7 different groups with those that you should eat the least of at the top and those you should eat the most of at the bottom.\n\nthe 7 groups (in order from bottom to top)\nBread (6-11 servings)\nVegetables (3-5 servings), Fruits (2-4 servings)\nDairy (2-3), Meats/Dry Beans/Nuts (2-3 Servings)\nFats/Oils/Sweets (Rarely)\n\nan image can be found at http://www.fda.gov/diabetes/pyramid.gif\n\nMany diets such as Atkins, conflict with the pyramid as well as research showing that Monounsaturated fats and Polyunsaturated fats are in fact good for your body by lowering LDL (High LDL levels often cause blood clots)  and raising HDL (HDL clears cholesterol from the body)\n\ni hope this helps more than it confuses

What is the best method/product to clean and LCD screen? I heard that windex and other products turn it yellow

A damp (NOT dripping anymore) papertowel is fine.  A dry papertowel to wipe off the residual moisture.\n\nYou don't need any special cloth.\n\nI agree:  NEVER use any chemicals to clean the screen.  It is made with a plastic coating... chemicals could easily harm that plastic.


What do I do after getting a stone in my urine?

Especially if you are male, you need to see a doctor right away. My uncle, who felt just fine, suddenly had blood &, as he described it - "ickies & other matter", in his urine which quickly resulted in him not being able to go at all. Turned out he had advanced renal (kidney) cancer & was totally unaware of it. Please don't put off seeing the doctor, even if you find out it isn't something quite as horrible because I'd hate to think of anyone having to go through the mess he's just been through. And, before you think, "No, that couldn't be it;" stop to think of the fact that you aren't supposed to get blood & stones in your urine. Call for an appointment today, even if you have to visit a free clinic.\n\nGood luck!


To clear this in IE, go to Tools > Internet Options in the top menu. This should open a configuration dialog; click on the 'Content' tab. You should see an 'AutoComplete' button towards the bottom. Click that, then click the 'Clear forms' button.

when do malaysia celebrates its national aids day?


Oh, Marijuana ruins lives, huh?  Let me ask you this.  How many people do you hear about coming home from a night of heavy pot smoking, to beat their wife because dinner isn't ready.  How ofter do you hear of the blind-stoned guy who drove into someone's house running from the cops?  How often do you hear about the pothead starting a gang fight outside a bar....\n\nWait a minute, I'm thinking about alcohol, the perfectly socially acceptable drug that destroys tens of thousands of lives every year.  Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against alcohol. But I do have something against the government telling me I can't put marijuana into my body, but let's some dumb ass loser pump alcohol into his body every night so he can go home to beat his wife and let his children sleep in a shithole because he spends all his money on liquor.\n\nKEEP YOUR LAWS OFF MY BODY!!!  IF I commit some other crime, under the influence of marijuana, then charge me with that crime.  I'm a successful member of society, and would hurt no one by smoking (If I were a pot smoker ;0) )  You have no right to tell me how to live my life.\n\nPeople killed by tobacco every year -- 400,000+\nPeople killed in alcohol related incidents -- 80,000+\nPeople killed in car accidents every year -- 60000+\n\nFind one proven case where someone died from a pot overdose.  Good luck.\n\nAll you anti drug activists need to get away from your socialist propaganda that tells you pot makes you a raving lunatic with a low sperm count and no motivation.  I've done a lot of drugs in my life, and I'm a whole hell of a lot more successful than half of the assholes out their in this world.\n\nOh, and if you didn't like my rant, how about this...\n\nGenesis 1:29-30\n\n29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Who has owns the patent for Paper Clips?

Johann Vaaler, a Norwegian, traditionally gets the credit for the first paper clip in 1899. So proud were the Norwegians of their countryman's invention that during World War II they fastened paper clips to their lapels to defy the Nazi occupation forces. For a Norwegian to wear a paper clip might mean an arrest! The function of the clip to bind things together took on the meaning of people joining together to resist the Germans. \n\nVaaler's device received an American patent in 1901. But was it the first paper clip? No.\n\n\nVaaler's American patent drawing shows several kinds of paper clips, from square to triangular to one that looks a lot like the elliptical ones in wide use today. But the wire does not form the familiar loop within a loop. An American, Matthew Schooley of Pennsylvania, had patented a "paper clip or holder" in 1896. In 1900, Cornelius Brosnan of Springfield, Mass., patented what the industry considers the first successful paper clip. Other versions date as far back as the 1870s.\n\n\nBut the Gem paper clip, the familiar one illustrated here, existed on paper as early as April 27, 1899. It appears on a patent issued to William Middlebrook of Waterbury, Conn. (The whole story is detailed in Henry Petroski's "The Evolution of Useful Things," Alfred A. Knopf, 1992.) \n\nThe Gem clip probably originated in Great Britain. By 1908, the simple, elegant Gem was being touted as the most popular paper clip in America.

Who would you want to go to dinner with?

Ben Franklin.  Ahead of his time, creative in multiple fields from science to diplomacy, apparently a great conversationalist.\n\nThis is a fairly common question, but a great one nonetheless when the person can be dead or alive. Another version of the question asks you to name 3 people, dead or alive, who can come from different historic times.  Would be fun to pair up Franklin with Da Vinci, for example.  Hard for me to choose the 3rd one, though.  If I had to choose, I'd also invite Shakespeare, but there are many others.


Why do most of the galaxies form spiral shape?

Conservation of angular momentum.  The odds are that anything being sucked into the center of the galaxy by the collective effect of gravity was moving with some degree of momentum not directly aimed at the center.  This would make it spiral inwards, as the angular momentum is conserved.  The closer it gets to the center, the faster it will rotate to preserve said momentum.  The aggregate direction of the angular momentum will sweep up the exceptions to the rule--the notion of a homogenous mass of uniform angular momentum would be statistically anamolous, and the result of a heterogeous mass with such angular momentum would be a spiral--any randon star between the "arms" of the spiral would be drawn towards the nearest arm, rather than toward the center of the galaxy, and this reinforces the effect.

I'm only 14 and i want to have sex but what can i risk.?

More than anything, you risk never really being 14 again.  No matter how you think you feel about it, there is just no way you are ready to have a sexual relationship with anyone at 14.  You just don't have the emotional maturity or life experience necessary to understand all the risks of sex--and not just the physical ones.  We could talk at length about AIDS, STD's, and pregnancy, but those are the things you can prevent if you're careful.  It's the damage you'll do that's unavoidable that you have to really consider.\n\nIn life, there are many things worth waiting for.  I know at your age you think it'll take forever to be an adult, and you want to start now.  Believe me when I tell you that waiting for this until you know it's the right time, with the right person and for the right reason will make up for all of the anxiety you feel today.

I've been feeling rather low, any ideas for a positive pick-me-up.?

Smile! right now... and then, sweep away the negative feelings... it will trap you in a vicious spiral. then we can talk of improvement. but first your attitude has to change. \nmy suggestions: talk to a good friend or a counsellor. next, start exercising. and that does NOT mean going to the gym! you can exercise at home, simply going up and down the stairs multiple times, or putting on some music that you really like, that sets your feet dancing, and dance away even while going from one room to the next! dance with your child! whatever be the age, toddler or older. that will make your child laugh and will whisk away any whiff of depression. play with your child in the park! (weather permitting of course!) you won't need a babysitter, or a gym, and both your body and mind will feel relaxed and exercised at the same time.
