do you feel awkward when your mother in law borrows money from you?

My mother-in-law has never borrowed money from me, but has actually lent my husband money.  She and my father-in-law allowed us to repay the money with no interest.  They are a gift from God, even though we don't see eye to eye on everything.  If she ever did ask me for money, I would give it as that would mean she really needed it.  Also I could trust her to repay me.\n\nEach situation is different and as long as she pays you back, you shouldn't feel awkward.  If you cannot lend her money, then you need to tell her so.

a change in a nucleotide sequence of a gene is known as?

A polymorphism.  Generally, for a given gene sequence there are numerous variants  (known as alleles) that differ from one another at one or more nucleotides.  These nucleotide variations may affect a gene's expression at the mRNA level or function at the protein level (or not).\n\nSome gene variants are known to be clinically significant and genetic tests for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are now done regularly to test for these alleles when a patient has a family history for a particular disease.\n\n"SNPs ... can help determine the likelihood that someone will develop a particular disease. One of the genes associated with Alzheimer's, apolipoprotein E or ApoE, is a good example of how SNPs affect disease development. This gene contains two SNPs that result in three possible alleles for this gene: E2, E3, and E4. Each allele differs by one DNA base, and the protein product of each gene differs by one amino acid. Each individual inherits one maternal copy of ApoE and one paternal copy of ApoE. Research has shown that an individual who inherits at least one E4 allele will have a greater chance of getting Alzheimer's. Apparently, the change of one amino acid in the E4 protein alters its structure and function enough to make disease development more likely. Inheriting the E2 allele, on the other hand, seems to indicate that an individual is less likely to develop Alzheimer's."  {cited from web site below}

What would happen if we could use 100% of our brain?

We *can* use 100% of our brain. This is a very strange, but common misconception. All parts of our brain have various functions and all are used. \n\nThe likely source of this myth is the discovery long ago that only about 10% of our neurons are firing at a time. That does not mean only ten percent fire ever, but on average, that is how many fire at any given time.   On that line of thinking, if 100% of our neurons were to fire at once, we would be having a severe seizure.


What is the legend of mount Rushmore? Please send back soon I need it for school I'm in class, my help needed.

Doane Robinson, a historian, conceived of the idea for Mount Rushmore in 1923 in order to attract greater tourism to South Dakota. In 1924, Robinson convinced sculptor Gutzon Borglum to go to the Black Hills region to ensure that the carving could be accomplished. The original plan was to do the carvings in the Needles, several granite pillars. However, Borglum realized that that plan could not be carried out because the Needles, worn down by erosion, were too thin to support sculpting. Mount Rushmore turned out to be a good spot. Borglum said upon seeing Mount Rushmore, "America will march along that skyline."[5] Congress authorized the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission on March 3, 1925.[5] President Coolidge insisted that along with Washington two Republicans and one Democrat be portrayed.[6]\n\nBetween October 4, 1927 and October 31, 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted the 60 ft (18 m) colossal carvings of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to represent the first 150 years of American history. These presidents were selected by Borglum because of their national focus.[5]\n\nIn 1933, the National Park Service took Mount Rushmore under its jurisdiction. Engineer Julian Spotts helped with the project by improving its infrastructure. For example, he had the tram upgraded such that it could reach the top of Mount Rushmore for the ease of workers. By July 4, 1934, Washington's face had been completed and was dedicated. The face of Thomas Jefferson was dedicated in 1936, and the face of Abraham Lincoln was dedicated on September 17, 1937. In 1937, a bill was introduced in Congress to add the head of civil rights leader Susan B. Anthony, but a rider was passed on an appropriations bill requiring that federal funds be used to finish only those heads that had already been started at that time.[7] In 1939, the face of Theodore Roosevelt was dedicated.\n\nThe Sculptor's Studio was built in 1939 under the direction of Gutzon Borglum. Unique plaster models and tools related to the sculpting process are displayed there. Borglum died from an embolism in March of 1941. His son, Lincoln Borgulm, continued the project, but insufficient funding forced the carving to end.[5] Originally, it was planned that the sculpture would be carved from head to waist.[8] The entire project had cost $989,992.32.[9]\n\nOn October 15, 1966, Mount Rushmore was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An essay from Nebraska student William Andrew Burkett was placed on the Entablature on a bronze plate in 1973. It had been selected as the winner for the college-age group in 1934.[7] In 1991, President George Bush officially dedicated Mount Rushmore.\n\nLocal tribes of Native Americans hold the Black Hills sacred. This belief had led to the 19th century conflict that included the Battle of the Little Bighorn when U.S. Army troops protected gold miners against Native Americans protecting their religious beliefs. The Monument continues to be a subject of controversy among Indians, even after the appointment of the first Native American superintendant of the park in 2004.[10] The Crazy Horse Memorial is being built elsewhere in the Black Hills to commemorate a famous Indian leader and as a reponse to Mount Rushmore. It is intended to be larger than Mount Rushmore and has the support of Lakota chiefs.\n\nTen years of redevelopment work culminated with the completion of extensive visitor facilities and sidewalks in 1998. These include a Visitor Center, Museum, and the Presidential Trail. Maintenance of the memorial presents a unique challenge for conservators, often requiring mountain climbing to remove lichens and generally clean the memorial. On July 8, 2005, Kärcher GmbH, a German manufacturer of cleaning machines, conducted a cleanup operation of the faces by pressure washing for free. The washing used pressurized water that was 200 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees C


How did you get your taxes done this year?

I used H&R Block in Chicago (Lincoln Park).  I had complicated tax issues because I had recently changed jobs, sold a mutual fund, and moved from one city to another.  My original try at using TurboTax returned a strange result--it suggested that I owed several thousand dollars, despite my expectation that I should be getting a refund.  The tax professional I worked with at H&R Block was very helpful and when he finished my taxes, it turned out that I was entitled to a significant refund after all.  Well worth the $250 it cost to have my taxes prepared.

What would happen if the CIA covertly captured all the religious men (molahs) in Iran?

I don't think the CIA has the staff for this.  And based on some of the things we've tried & failed, I'm not sure they have the skills, either. If they did succeed, however, I think it would be Abu Ghraib (sp?) all over again.  America would certainly look bad -- invading a country (again!), kidnapping (still illegal, last time I checked), forcing them to do things that they find morally offensive -- how could we possibly claim the moral high ground on this?  Also, I don't think it would change any Muslim's view of their religion, though it would certainly generate a lot of hostility against the USA.


When making a cartoon such as Family Guy, how do they synch the voices with the lip movements?

They do the voice acting by watching a rough sketch of the show. Later on they have a specific person that synchs them up with the real frames. \nThis is part of the reason it takes quite awhile for animations to be released. That, and drawing all those frames takes QUITE awhile.


Recent research in this area suggests that there may be multiple factors involved.\n\nFirst of all, there is a correlation with overeating and sleep deprivation; under-sleep, over-eat.  Try getting 7 to 8 hours a night.\n\nSecondly, there is, apparently, a group of people who eat food the way an alcoholic drinks.  Several physiologic feeds have been identified for that.\n\nThird, there is a psychological component.  People commonly eat as "displacement" activity: they want to do something, but cannot, so they eat instead, or they turn to food for solace when they're distressed, lonely, depressed, elated, etc.\n\nFourth, there's an age issue.  If you're still young enough to be growing in linear height, physiologic changes occur right before a growth spurt and they'll give you an insatiable appetite.\n\nFifth, some medications will cause excessive eating; I recall being on high dose corticosteroids for a medical problem I had, and I was eating everything in sight for a couple of weeks.  Got off the high dose steroids, appetite disappeared, and so did MOST of the pounds gained...  Some street drugs will produce the mega-munchies, too.\n\nSixth, some people develop excessive eating habits after stopping any one of a handful of street drugs; amphetamines and cocaine are big players, here, but don't figure they're the only ones.\n\nSigh, wouldn't life be nice if it was simple, and our wills controlled everything about ourselves?

Surprise, They do not fall at the same rate- Theoretically, if there were such a thing as a true vacuum, then things would fall at the same rate. However, a true vacuum with zero atomic content has never been created, anywhere...period. This is one of the most misleading assumptions in science today.\nPlease reasearch it and you will find that there is always some atomic content that remains regardless of our best efforts to eliminate it. \n(Exerpt from another answer)\n"Empty" space actually contains an average of 1 hydrogen atom for every 32 cubic centimeters of space, this data is per NASA.\n\nIn our own Milky Way, space is more dense with 1 hydrogen atom for every 1 cubic centimeter.\n\nYes in a vacuum, things would fall at the same rate, but since there is no vacuum, they don't.\n\nshed the light


Every business entity -- whether it be a corporation, limited partnership or LLC -- has to name a registered agent.  The RA must be a person who lives in the state in which the entity was incorporated/organized, and the RAs job is to (i) serve as the official address for communications from the secretary of state and (ii) accept service of process if the entity ever gets sued.\n\nYes, a member of the LLC is an appropriate person to serve as RA since it is largely a ministerial (no-big-deal, on-paper-only) role and you don't take on additional liability just by serving as an RA.  That assumes that one of the members lives in the state in which the LLC was organized.  If none of the members lives in the state of organization (e.g., if you organized the LLC in Delaware and you're all from California) then you have to hire someone to be your RA in Delaware -- there are plenty of companies that provide this service.\n\nBy the way, you're probably not aware that the IRS requires your LLC to name a "tax matters member."  Well, the IRS does.  Your operating agreement or a set of member resolutions should state who will serve as tax matters member.\n\nOn the answer from b_vencill420.... that answer was confusing registered agent with someone who has authority to enter contracts on behalf of the company, which is known as the law of agency, not the same as a registered agent.

Yes. It's a bloody wonder they haven't bottled it and sold it as a wonder drug. It's got all sorts of goodness in it.\nBut, if you swallow too much you can overdose yourself on it.

Is there any cure for having premature ejaculation?

In many cases, premature ejaculation resolves on its own over time without the need for medical treatment. Practicing relaxation techniques or using distraction methods may help you delay ejaculation. For some men, stopping or cutting down on the use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs may improve their ability to control ejaculation. Your health professional may recommend that you and your partner practice specific techniques to help delay ejaculation. These techniques may involve identifying and controlling the sensations that lead up to ejaculation and communicating to slow or stop stimulation. Other options include using a condom to reduce sensation to the penis or trying a different position (such as lying on your back) during intercourse. Counseling or behavioral therapy may help reduce anxiety related to premature ejaculation. Medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medications (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft), are sometimes used to treat premature ejaculation. These medications are used because a side effect of SSRIs is inhibited orgasm, which helps delay ejaculation. The use of SSRIs for the treatment of premature ejaculation is not related to depression and is considered an "off-label" use.


Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?

The Halogens are very, very reactive chemicals, and tend to hook up and form salts with the other elements rather than hanging around in a pure elemental form.  They tend to pick up extra charge very well which makes them prime candidates for bonding.

who should be my favorute team tigers or cardnils?

Cardinals do have a lot of star power and are already a great team.  The Tigers are only just emerging, but they only a year or two away from being title contenders (if that).  \n\nI would say the Tigers because if you jump on the bandwagon now you'll look smart in the future and not like a fair weather fan.


Are there any sports drinks that are actually good for you? Which is the best?

None of the regular sports drinks are really "good for you".  They can be helpful for athletes who are losing a LOT of hydration due to sweating - this is what Gatorade and Poweraid are made for.  It adds electrolytes and sugar back to your system, however most casual athletes do not really need this.\n\nAs for regular drinking - they are actually bad for you.  There is a lot of sodium (salt) and calories (due to sugar), so it would be better to go for the flavored "fitness water" - like Propel and others, they have very few calories and no (or very little) sodium.\n\nSo if you are engaging in strenuous activity in the heat, go for the Gatorade or Poweraid, if not I would recommend a lower calorie fitness water.

For devout Jews ONLY - What are the requirements for Messiah &why did Jesus not fulfil them?

(sorry for the long cut and paste, but if you ask a question that requires it, it is still the best way to answer it::)\n\nTHE MESSIAH IN JUDAISM:::\n\nHow have we Jews, who invented the term, always defined the term Messiah?\n\n1)The Messiah is born of two human parents, as we said.\n\nBut Jesus, according to Christian theology, was born of a union between a Human woman and Gd, just as Hercules was born of Zeus and the human woman named Alcmene, and just like Dionysis who was born of Zeus and Semele, as well as many other pagan gods.\n\n2)The Messiah must trace his lineage through his human biological father, back to King David (Isaiah 11:1,10; Jeremiah 23:5; Ezekiel 34:23-24; 37:21-28; Jeremiah 30:7-10; 33:14-16; and Hosea 3:4-5)\n\nBut Jesus's lineage cannot go through his human father, according to Christian theology, as Jesus's father was not Joseph the husband of Mary. According to Christian theology, Jesus’s father was Gd.\n\n3)The Messiah traces his lineage only through King Solomon, and cannot be adopted into the Royal line (II Samuel 7:12-17; I Chronicles 22:9-10)\n\nBut according to Luke 3:31, Jesus was a descendant of Nathan, another son of King David, and not a descendant of King David through King Solomon.\n\n4)The Messiah can not trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17; Jeremiah 22:18,30).\n\nBut according to both Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel, grandson of Jehoiakim, and part of the cursed lineage.\n\nFurthermore, according to the Jewish definition of the term, the Real Messiah will make changes in the real world, changes that one can see and perceive and be able to prove because these changes take place in the real world. It is for this task that the real messiah has been anointed in the first place, hence the term, messiah -- one who is anointed. These changes, that one will be able to see and perceive in the real world, include:\n\n1)The Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6)\n\nWhich is contradicted by Jesus in Matthew 10:34-37.\n\n2)The Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14)\n\nBut Jesus had no children.\n\n3)The Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9)\n\nObviously there is no peace. Furthermore, Jesus said that his purpose in coming was to bring a sword, and not peace (see Matthew 10:34, as referenced above.)\n\n4)The Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16)\n\nBut the world remains steeped in idolatry.\n\n5)The Messiah brings about an end to all forms of idolatry (Zechariah 13:2);\n\nBut the world remains steeped in idolatry.\n\n6)The Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of Gd is Gd (Isaiah 11:9)\n\nBut the world remains steeped in idolatry.\n\n7)The Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9)\n\nIt isn't.\n\n8)The Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24)\n\nMany of the ten lost tribes remain lost.\n\n9)The Messiah rebuilds The Temple (Isaiah 2:2; Ezekiel 37:26-28)\n\nIt hasn't been rebuilt.\n\n10)There will be no more famine (Ezekiel 36:29-30)\n\nPeople starve to death every day.\n\n11)After the Messiah comes, death will eventually cease (Isaiah 25:8)\n\nPeople die every day.\n\nNone of the following has happened, yet, either:::\n\n12)Eventually the dead will be resurrected (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; Ezekiel 37:12-13; Isaiah 43:5-6);\n\n13)The nations of the earth will help the Jews, materially (Isaiah 60:5-6; 60:10-12;\n\n14)The Jews will be sought out for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23);\n\n15)All weapons will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9,

Would you support a Federal Sales Tax if it did away w/ the Federal Income Tax?

Any way you slice it the government needs to pay for the services that people demand. I would support any modification of the tax code that would get the public at large to buy into the system. That means that the obvious corruption in the way federal money is spent and the way in which contracts are awarded has to be dealt with.  The budget process in Congress is hopelessly broken and needs to be reformed.  In short, a sales tax would be simpler and indeed would be a better system but it needs to be accompanied by other reforms.


Why USA government  should have nuclear weapons?


I copied some material from the page listed below.  I'm not sure I could make one from the information but I think it is what you want.\n\nNonelectric incandescent lamps include the gas-mantle lamp. The mantle is a mesh bag of fabric impregnated with a solution of nitrates of cerium and one or more of the following metals:\nthorium, beryllium, aluminum, or magnesium. \nThe process of making gas mantles originally involved several steps, beginning with the knitting of the cotton/silk fabric. The saturation step the fabric was saturated in lighting fluid. This fluid contains the thorium and cerium salts. The fabric was then dried on wood or glass forms and then carefully plaited together. An asbestos cord was drawn through to form a loop. The fabric was then shaped to fit a mantle by fitting it over a wooden form. It was estimated that American consumers used 40,00,000 mantles per year when gas lighting was commonly used. \n\nThe mantle is fixed over an orifice carrying a flammable gas such as natural gas, coal gas, propane, or vaporized benzene or other fuel. When the gas is ignited, the mantle fabric burns away, leaving a brittle residual lattice of metal oxides. Light is produced when this lattice is heated to glowing by the gas combustion, although the mantle itself does not burn.\nGas lamps may operate without mantles. \n\nCerium nitrate has been used in the manufacture of incandescent-gas mantles. The metal serves as an ingredient in the carbon-impregnated arc lamps that have been used for illumination in the motion-picture, television, and related industries. Cerium is iron gray in color and about as soft and ductile as tin. It oxidizes slowly in air, rapidly reacts with water to yield hydrogen, and burns brilliantly when heated. \n\nDr. Carl Auer von Welsbach was an Austrian chemist and engineer who invented the gas mantle, thus allowing the greatly increased output of light by gas lamps. In 1885 Welsbach discovered and isolated the elements neodymium and praseodymium from a mixture called didymium, which was previously considered an element. His interest in rare-earth elements continued, and he found that a fabric impregnated with a mixture of thorium nitrate and cerium nitrate could be made into a mantle that glowed brightly when heated by a gas flame. Patented in 1885, the Welsbach mantle greatly improved gas lighting and, although largely supplanted by the incandescent lamp, is still widely used in kerosene and other lanterns. In 1898 Welsbach introduced the first metallic filament for incandescent lamps. Although the osmium he used was too rare for general use, his improvement paved the way for the tungsten filament and the modern light bulb. Welsbach also developed misch metal, a mixture of cerium and other rare earths, which he combined with iron to make Auer's metal, the first improvement over flint and steel for making sparks since ancient times. It is used in cigarette lighters and in strikers for lighting gas jets.


what are some things that may happen if we don't reduce global warming?

The polar ice will melt causing a massive increase in the amount of water on the Earth.  This flooding will then cause majority of the land to be submerse in water.  That's the main jist.

how can i get IP number of a yahoo messenger chatter?

The Netstat -an command will show all established sessions on your machine, but won't identify which one is the chat session.  Most likely, the session will be to Yahoo's server, not directly to the other person's IP address.


should you go back to an ex if they say they've changed, but you have doubts?

Sometimes it can be a mastake but if he says he has changed then that means that his family and friends have noticed. So go up and ask them if they feel that he really has changed. If they say he has then tell him that you are willing to give it another shot on one condtion. That he has to prove that he really has changed. If you see he has then move on from there one step at a time but if not then... well I am not going to tell you what to do, I know I have given my ex plenty of chances and he always blows them but that is why I love him so much... he is different and stands out and never really does the same thing twice. It is more exciting with thoes types of people.\n\nGood luck and I hope my answer helps you.


Environment:USA wants S.Americans to stop felling trees.US can evacuate & plant forest in 6 US states. Why SA.

i don't know the specifics on this but there is one general rule that applies to all of our policies: US corporations vie for economic control over these nations, first and foremost. if a US-based environmental group is complaining about pollution is s.a. then it is likely a valid complaint, and they are also doing similar things in the US. But if the US government is complaining then it is most likely to put pressure on s.a. governments in order for the US to gain some kind of economic or political foothold. The US government itself DOES have concerns for the environment, but compare that voice to the voice of its economic hegemony and it is like a chicadee chirping next to a jet aircraft.


hi how i will imprve in financial condition?

Ouch!  I too struggle with this question.  Two suggestions.  First pay off all those high interest credit cards immediately.  If that is part of the problem -- make a list of all your credit cards, listing them by interest rates and minimal payments.  Pay the minimal on all cards except the one with the highest interest -- whereas, you should pay as much as possible on this one card.  Pay it off, then move to the next card on your list.  The key is NOT to miss a payment ever.  This hurts your overall credit score the worst.\n\nThe second suggestion is to pay yourself first.  If your pay checks are direct deposited I suggest that you have a certain amount go directly into a saving account.  Say you make $300 a week -- you may want to have $50 go to savings and the remainder go to your checking.  Thus, the name -- "pay yourself first."\n\nGood luck


Why do Military men always think thier branch is better than all the rest?

I think it is literally drilled into their head that their particular branch of the armed forces is better than the rest.  My father thought that the Navy was the best as he was in there for 10 years.  He left the Navy and went into the Air Force for 11 years and during that time the Air Force was the best.  I think it's just the military mentality.  But to me all of the branches of the military are great and the men and women who are in them serviing our country are even better!!\n\nBy the way, thank your husband for me for serving in the Marines and protecting our country!  And a big thanks to you for being by his side!! :o)


why do white people love the black eyed peas?

The Black Eyed Peas are just like any other group that decided mainstream pop was the path for quick financial success, even though musical quality is totally compromised. If it seems like it's mostly white people who like them now, that could be because whites are still the strongest voice in American popular culture. I'm white and I don't care for them, for the same reasons I almost never listen to the radio anymore: today's pop is terrible.

three things in nature that change in appearance over time? explain why.?

Stream beds change due to sediment load that it carries & amount of water. They can meander or cut deeper into their bed. Oxbow lakes can form when meanders are cut off from the rest of the stream.\n\nRocks weather by wind & water. Self explanatory. Rock is removed by the wind & water and redeposited somewhere else as sediment.\n\nShorelines can either build up or erode depending on where they are located. Hurricanes can wash away shorelines or build them up too. Depending on how intense the storm is & amount of storm surge/ high tide or low tide, etc. Barrier islands are constantly changing. They move further inland during transgressions & move back out again during regressions. Hurricane can also close or open new inlets along barrier islands. Many of NC's barrier inlets have been closed & reopened by major hurricanes over the past couple hundred years.\n\nKarst topography. Areas w/ limestone bedrock will form sinkholes where the limestone is dissolved by naturally forming acids. This occurs especially where too much water is pumped out from these limestone aquifers. You can get sinkholes & sinkhole lakes/ponds. Lots of these in Florida.


which player is a better linebacker derrick thomas or jounior seau?

They played two different position.  Junior was a MLB in a 4-3 scheme.  A 4-3 is a scheme designed to funnel everything to the inside or outside depending on your best players. D.Thomas was a OLB in a 3-4 scheme which is more like a DE.  He was mostly a pass rusher.  Now if you are comparing the two obviously Seau was the better player vs. the run.  DT was without a doubt the best pass rusher during his era. He has the recorded for most sacks in the game.  It is very hard to compare these two players because the things they were asked to do were different.   Almost Like Comparing a RB and a QB.

How do you go about meeting decent men online.  Does anyone have and ideas. Why is it always sex, any ideas?

You can meet decent guys online, and remember you can always chat before you even meet them, or just chat and never meet. If he starts discussing sex or anything else that makes you uncomfy either tell him or change the subject or ignore him till he goes away. Be open and honest, I'm not here just to talk about sex, if you're really interested in ME, then ask me abt me, not what I'm wearing, the ones who are interested will stay and the others will go. Don't give out your home address or numbers, always tell a friend if you've been chatting a while, always tell a friend when you start dating, make sure you have his real name (both), numbers and home address to give to friend, just in case!! I've done quite a bit, mostly for fun, but was always careful. Good luck!

If he dates alot then don't ask him out. Beware of his motives even if he DOES ask you out. When he sees that you are a tried-and-true friend then he may decide that you are the kind of girl that he wants to "settle down" with.\n\nUntil then, keep his friendship and don't go around moping and hoping for something and someone that is beyond reach.\n\nThere are PLENTY of nice guys you can get close to and they need to know that there are people as nice and true as you are.


Can't seem to stop being attracted by Bossy Controlling women.I just want to be happy. Need girls insightHELP

I just wanted to let you know that my sister is exactly that type of person.  I think it is actually a personality characteristic just like any other.  She is somewhat in denial of it unlike your acceptance.  She must make more money than her man and he must do as she likes or she lets them go.  It's her way or no way.  Some guys like it and stay around and others abhor it and do the exact opposite--leave as fast as their feet or car will take them.  So if that is what you like then there are plenty of women out there.  My sisters friends are exactly the same way so keep looking, you will find exactly what you want/need if you are patient

Dildos have been used by humans for a very long time. Exactly how long is uncertain, but there is evidence of their use throughout the past 2000 years at least. First Dildos have been found in caves around Sostro area in Slovenia. In this region still both sexes use dildos made from wood to stone. A beautiful jade phallus, which may very well have been used as a dildo, and is reckoned by curators to be about 4000 years old, is currently on display in the Ancient Neandherthal Sostros Sex Culture Museum near Podlipoglav. Dildos are also mentioned, figuratively, in the Bible (see Ezekiel 16:17).\n\nStone dildos have been recovered during archaeological digs. Dildos in one form or another have likely been present in society throughout history.

why is darwin's theory of evolution misunderstood?

Because people can't even begin to fathom the amount of time evolution has been at work on this earth. Mast people can't give their God credit for being around for the 5 billion years the earth has been here. How do you expect the average member of the human species to wrap the feeble little minds around the idea that humans have been around for only 4 million of those years. It is unconsciencable to them. \n\nAs a species, we've only had the ability to write our thoughts down for others to read for the past 20,000 years. When you are asked to realize that life first evolved 225,000 times longer ago than you've been able to write down stories, it's hard to imagine. When truths like that are stairing you in the eye, it's not unreasonable to get scared and and run for one of your oldest fairy tales.


Why am I coughing up greenish/yellowish mucous?

First of all, if you are now on antibiotics, it is GOOD you are coughing up that goop.  That is the germs (bacteria) that is making you sick and what you are doing is called "Expectorating".. forcibly removing by coughing icky stuff like germs.\n\nIf you get a sore throat, you CAN take meds to reduce the coughing and sooth the throat, but the sooner it is out of your body the faster you will recover.\n\nDrink plenty of water, give yourself as much rest as you can get, eat fruits/veggies and protein (good for you foods) and take it easy.\n\nI hope you feel better soon.

Why can not some people sleep on a full moon?

Lets clear one thing up, the moon is always full. You just can't see all of it easily every night because of it's position and relative angle between us and the sun. \nHowever, the reason that people, and other animals, have strange behavior during a "full moon" is because of the amount of light we get from it. On a clear night when the moon is full it's like the sun never sets. If you've ever been in the wilderness during this time, you know that you don't even need a flash light to walk around. It's like the lights are on. All this light coming into peoples homes causes them to not sleep. It gives a bit of skew on the internal clock that we have. Also, predators roam at night. And during a full moon it's easier to see them so animals, including people, get braver. This lends to the felling that people do strange things during a full moon. You just feel more comfortable at night when you can see whats around you. So being Hyped up during the day is just a feeling of comfort because the night won't be so scary.

BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD TO U IS BAD OR FORBIDDEN


Make her feel special, like she matters to you. Don't make her feel like an object or a possession. She has a brain, ask her what she wants to do. Sometime girls like ot do feminine things. Be willing once in a while to go see a chic flic or walk in the park. She doesn't have to rule the relationship but she does need to feel like her opinions matter and like you genuinely care about her health, feelings and ideas. Not just her body!


i would make them laugh ( cuz i like when they are funny) i would also do what ever i felt like doning now matter where i am ( i'm that kind of person) i would be open minded and be romantic and nice ( i like when guys hug me i feel good! ^_^ like he is protecting me from everything that is bad)i think that is what i would do and i would also have my own idea like a way to ask her out it would be in a different unique way..................i think that is it

Besides getting an empty hole, is there a down side to horizontal drilling for oil in an existing vertical hol

I agree it sounds like a con.  I do know that most oil well drilling projects lose money.  Oil drilling companies make money because the few projects that make money, more than make up for the ones that lose money.  Unless you are an expert in oil drilling, do not invest in oil wells.  They are probably selling a well no oil company is dumb enough to invest in.

Does anyone know much about government grants?

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture (I doubt if there are any).\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

A guy at work made a major pass at me and now he acts like it never happened what should i do?

Well, you haven't given a lot of details about what happened, but first of all, I think if he did anything sexual to you that offends you, then you should put harassment charges on him.  Sexual harassment is something that should not be tolerated!  If not, then take him aside one day (not while you are supposed to be working, you don't want to lose your job over this) and tell him that you need to talk to him about what happened before and that he can't go on pretending it didn't happen.  Let him know that you don't like the way he disrespected you.  Chances are he will stop after that, but if he keeps on, report it to a supervisor.  Nobody should have to deal with this in the workplace!!!  Good luck!

why did mexico legalise cocaine and heroin and ecstacy and say it was because...?

Nop the DID NOT LEGALIZE ANYTHING!!! \nI am going to explain what happened exactly: In Mexico the possession for personal and imediate use of Drugs has been always legal. This was permited in the penal code. The Drugs issue is a federal issue according to the health law. Now, There is a huge problem with drug dealing in small amounts in discos, schools, etc... And because this is a federal issue, the local police can not fight this kind of small drug dealing. So, what the Congress of Mexico did is 1) open the possibility of concurrent faculties between federation and local governments to fight drug dealing and 2) to determine the exact amount of drug allowed for personal and immediate consum. The last is legal ONLY when it is proved that you are a Drug Adict and you have a medical prescription for the usage of the permited amount of Drugs. This means that NO. there was no legalization of Drugs in Mexico. Actually it was a reform to help the local governments fight small drug dealing and to sharpen the laws in order to avoid legal arguments for small drug dealing. I have already answered to this question somewhere else, and i had other info. But now i say i agree totally. And by the way, the persons that need drugs are sometimes also ex-soldiers or sick people (of cancer for example). that are drug adiccts because of pain killers. I find this human and correct.\nSo. Again. Do not state something with out knowing what is it about. In Mexican news there is no big issue about this theme...look Reforma, Televisa (esmas) or la Jornada.

Would a 15-20 horsepower gain in your engine make a noticeable difference in everyday driving?

Most gains are overestimated by people.  You have to remeber if making the intake slightly bigger was going to give you a lot of power, most manufactures this day could easily make their intake tube bigger for slightly more per car, if itmade a noticable differnce, tehy would.\n\nEven these days factory exhaust are much bett erthen they used to be.  There was a time when you could easily put an aftermarket exhaust on and gain 10-20hpo, but today, the gains are small, and often only their when the engine has been heavily modified\n\nWorse yet, those power numbers they tell you, are often only at one spot in the rpm curve, so it will not be a continuous gain of power, sometimes they will even loose power on the low end to report a power gain at the top end, which depending on what you do cna be good or bad.  But generally on teh street, low end power is wher it is at, thats what pushes you into your seat when you punch it at a light.\n\n(this is part of the reason you can oversize your exhaust and loose power, removing cats will often loose enough back pressure to acctualy hurt the low end power, my dad gutted the cats on his 88 mustang GT, lost all it's low end power, it didn't take him long to find a nother set of stock cats to swap back in)\n\nCheck out some forums for your car, find what real people have done to their car, and what really works, you may be suprised at what cheap things work, and how many things really don't

Where did the phrase "speaking of the devil" orginate?

There are alot of phrases that orginate from Protestant (ie think not Catholic or Anglican) settlers of America. This is one of them  "speak of the devil and he shall appear" was  orgionally a phrase that encouraged people to think and speak pure thoughts. ie talking about evil will bring evil into your life. Several other phrases that we currently use orginated from this time and culture... "an Idle mind is the devil's playground" ect... These phrase where taught to children in order to encourage a rightous and pious lifestyle. Currently the phrase is used to more indicate that when you speak of something/or someone they walk in or are suddenly around and has lost alot of the orginoal religious connotation and deeper meaning.

These 3 rich commodities represent billions of dollars going into the pockets of those who exploit and mistreat human beings in developing nations. Educate yourself. Don't hate the country you live in. Just try to make it better.

Been Married 15 Months and he's left me 7-8 time. Do I wait?

It seems you have an unstable relationship... If you consider yourself 'brave' enough to deal with this go on.. but... wait a minute... is unestability desirable when you planning to raise yerr children?  It seems (seems) there's a lack of communication...  I think you're yearning for an stability he doesn't seem to correspond and as a response to this yearning feeling you treat him well expecting the Fairy Godmother to prolong it until 1:00 if she did I think you'd beg her to prolong it until 2:00 and so forth.  It seems he needs 'windows' and this is the main reason that he vanishes... Why don't you find out what kind of 'airs' are making him going on the pursuit of a better window... once you define the kind of air you have to make a choise... you could repair the air conditioning but before you would need your own window to see it clearer from the outside...  I think an unstable environment makes you unstable and this excerts an influence on your children... they'll feel unstable too... as he feels unstable... so... target? find the centre of unestability then forward...


Is it ok to fantasize abt other women while making love to u'r wife?

I think everybody does it at one time or another.  It's normal, healthy even, to have an active imagination.  Just remember, while your imagining someone else, and not telling her about it, she's faking an orgasm, and not telling you about it.

what is the chemical labortary method of making perfume? give in detail the things involved .?

To make a perfume in a lab you first have to decide which molecule you want to make, either because u know it smells nice, or you want to know if it smells nice.  Then once you have a molecular structure, you devise a retro synthesis from the molecule you want back into starting materials that are small (less than 7 carbons is good) and cheap.\n\nYou then proceed work on the forward reaction from starting materials, a chemist would be able to synthesis a simple perfume from starting materials in 3-4 hours, assuming that there are no reactions that have very slow rates.\n\nOnce you have your molecule it has to go thru lots of tests to make sure it is safe for our skin ect, then it has to be made into a solution with a volatile compound for application, and possibly have more smelly molecules added into the mixture.\n\nI can't give u specific examples since perfume is the name for thousands of different molecules all made in different ways., just google it to find specific processes.  try the scent of Jasmin.

What are genetic diseases found in lions?

Because the social structure of lions strongly decreases the potential for  inbreeding , lots of harmful recessive mutations have been 'allowed' to build up.  Genetic diseases thus crop up a lot where inbreeding occurs.\nCheetahs who went through a bottleneck are much less affected by inbreeding, in a sense they were forced to inbreed to an extent,  harmfull recessive mutations died out with the disesed animals.

Since he brought up in the fictitious American city of Gotham it was unlikely he played cricket at any fictitious Gotham schools.  More likely he was a quarterback where his family's funding of large parts of the college gave him preferential treatment and his desire to prove himself drove him to try and carry the team on his shoulders.  Cricket, basketball and baseball would not have had enough contact for him.  He needed a sport where he could bash people within the rules of the game.


differentiate between markup language and programming language?

A "programming language" (C, C++, VB etc.) is that code needs to be compiled before it is run. Once it is compiled, it can be run any number of times.\n\nMarkup languages (HTML, XML) is simply a set of tags that are used to "mark up" text documents so that sections of text can be logically arranged and labeled. These documents can be viewed as plain text, or, more commonly, are viewed through a browser. The browser parses the document, looking for markup tags, and it then arranges the text and/or formats it according to the values in the tags.

A Duma (Ду́ма in Russian) is any of various representative assemblies in modern Russia and Russian history. The State Duma in the Russian Empire and Russian Federation corresponds to the lower house of the parliament. It is also the term for a council to early Russian rulers (Boyar Duma), as well as for city councils in Imperial Russia (City Duma).\n\nIn regards to Jesus oh boy.  I guess I'll just say it depends on your religion.

theres this guy i want to ask out... help!! (read details)?

Do you two spend any time alone? Like studying or just hanging out? DOn't just ask him just because all of your friends have a boyfriend. If he is your best friend, then you should have no problem asking him if he has a girlfrir=end. If he ask you why are you asking? Just tell him that you are curious that's all. Leave it at that no matter what his answer is. If it is a no then wait a few days or weeks and if you are comfortable then ask him the big question. Try this:"I was wondering, I know we are best friends and I am glad that we are. But how do you feel if we take it a step further? But I also don't want our friendship to mess up if you say no or we break up. I feel really comfortable around you and I like you alot. What do you think" After this just pt=ray he says yes. Also talk to your parents first and ask them what you think. Because they are your parents and they will be driving you two around if you hook up. Because if you don't have the ok it will mess up your relationship big time with him or anyone else. Good luck.


May anyone teach me Integration & Differentiation Mathematics???

differentiation is the process of finding the rate of change of a gradient.\n( ^= to the power)\n\nsay you are given an equation y=x^n\ndo differentiate, take the power of x, and multiply it by its coefficient. in this case, x has a coefficient of 1. \ny=nx^n\nthe next step it to subtract 1 from the base of x (its power)\ny=nx^n-1\ndifferentation is now complete\n\ne.g.\ny=3x^4\ndy=12x^3\nno matter what the power of x is, just multiply it by the coefficient of x, and subtract 1 from it. (do not subtract then multiply)\n\nIntergration is the opposite, and it too complicated fot this post. talk to you teacher, of go to www.s-cool.co.uk

In theory, would it be possible to engineer it so that a woman would have identical twins?

The loss rate from mechanical spitting of the zygote would be very high. \n\nPerhaps one could do the following instead: Mechanically (through the addition of yolk) or chemically (I dunno, a drug?) increase the size of a woman's egg prior to fertilization. That might make it more prone to split on it's own. Or you might just get a bigger baby. Who knows?

would i still qualify for earned income credit, if i did not earn any wages last year?

If you had no earned income, for a job, then no you don't qualify for EIC. If you had no income at all, then you wouldn't even file taxes. Techinically, your father can claim you and your children if he provided over 50% of your household support. This may be the route to go and see if he would give you a little of his refund money for claiming all of you.


You're welcome to take the test, but to get a job in a reputable office, you'll need the education from an regionally accredited school.

Astral projection (or astral travel) is a controversial interpretation of out-of-body experiences (OOBEs) achieved either consciously or via lucid dreaming, deep meditation, or use of psychotropics. Proponents of astral projection maintain that their consciousness or soul has transferred into an astral body (or "double"), which moves in tandem with the physical body in a parallel world known as the astral plane.\n\nAstral projection is often associated with the occult and the New Age movement.\nContents\n[hide]\n\n    * 1 Schools of thought\n          o 1.1 Mystical model\n          o 1.2 Phasing model\n    * 2 Kinds of projection\n          o 2.1 Astral projection\n          o 2.2 Real time projection\n          o 2.3 Virtual reality projection\n    * 3 Research\n    * 4 Astral projection and the Bible\n    * 5 See also\n          o 5.1 Major proponents\n    * 6 Criticism\n    * 7 References and Further Reading\n          o 7.1 Forums on Astral Projection\n\n[edit]\n\nSchools of thought\n\nThere are two general schools of thought on the nature of astral projection; these can broadly be defined as the mystical model and the phasing model.\n[edit]\n\nMystical model\n\nThe mystical model includes a large variety of belief systems and astral maps, but they are tied together by their belief that astral projection takes place outside of the actual physical body. A more subtle energy body is believed to carry the consciousness outside of the physical body, and as one progresses to more advanced levels of the astral plane, more subtle bodies are realized and consciousness is transferred in turn to each of them. (Other mystical models assume only one subtle body.) The subtle body is attached to the physical body by means of an energetic connection which usually takes the appearance of a silver cord 'plugging' into the chakras like an umbilical cord.\n[edit]\n\nPhasing model\n\nThe phasing model, which was defined by Robert Monroe, contains the belief that it is impossible to actually leave the body in the truest sense of the word, and that the astral planes and the physical world are merely points on the long spectrum of consciousness. When a person projects, they actually "phase" into another area of consciousness and the locales it contains. This can be likened to tuning a radio to another station. This viewpoint can be seen as a logical progression of the philosophy that external reality is actually an internally created state (see Postmodernism).\n[edit]\n\nKinds of projection\n[edit]\n\nAstral projection\n\nThe traveller finds him- or herself in an apparently real domain, analagous to the "other worlds" experienced by traditional peoples, which have no parallel to any physical setting or to consensus reality, described by New Agers and occultists as the astral plane or the astral.\n\nEnvironments here may range from populated to un-populated, artificial to natural to completely abstract environments and from beautific to horrific. Here, normal physical laws often do not apply and humans can often, for example, float or fly. Quality of physical detail ranges from crude and un-detailed and depressing to bright, vivid and fascinating as detailed, among other writers, by Robert Bruce in his Astral Dynamics (1999) Travelers may travel from one realm to the other. Projectors may find access to visions of the past or future and to the Akashic records accessible from here. Many travelers have theorized that people having dreams actually travel to the astral realms, unaware, and, again as reported in Astral Dynamics, travelers have reported seeing dreamers enact dream scenarios on the astral plane, unaware of the more extensive and varied non-physical environment surrounding them.\n[edit]\n\nReal time projection\n\nIn contrast to "astral" projection, the traditional understanding of out-of-body experiences involves the projector (or traveller) moving about in (usually invisible) ghost-like f

how do i bring public awareness to the issues of child and spouse abuse by US military servicemen?

This is a horrible situation. If you have solid proff that supports your statements you should be able to find a PR firm that would help you. I work as a PR rep and I know something like this is very costly because of the Crisis Management that will be involved once the story breaks. But if you are only interested in doing a news blast to see if the media is interested in your story, you can also sign up for limited PR services such as news alerts which is about 1/100th less than a full PR service.  I believe that this is important for people to learn about.


Someone I know who has hypertension always complain of neck/shuolder pain and needs for these areas to be mass

If massage helps, the pain could indeed be muscular.  But be aware that hypertension leads to heart disease, and the heart has many ways of warning you.  Usually it is a central chest pain that indicates heart problems, but left sided neck/shoulder pain can also mean heart trouble. I'd have the person be checked out by a doctor to make sure heart is ok.  Good luck!


I want to be a mechanical engineer when I grow up. What classes should I take in High School?

Math, Math, Math Theory, Science ,computers, and I would also suggest some good english classes, communication classes and business fundamentals.  While the main job of the mechanical engineer is to design and build systems that do useful work, you have to understand and be able to explain to those that are non technical and are paying the tab.  those other classes will help with that.


i am going digging for clams on the coast what so i need to take as supplies or clothing?

use a clam rake instead of a gun.  You don't have to get the expensive one at the tackle shop just get a wide toothed one at the hardware store.  you will pull in a lot more.  I like to put them in a bucket with clean water to let them work on spitting out the sand before cooking.  Don't mind the mud go barefooted it makes it easier to clean up after wards.  May sure to get a shellfish license and follow the rules and regs.  It is a pretty good fine depending on which coast your on.


Does anyone know if the movie The Long Hot Summer starring Don Johnson is available on dvd, and where.?


PROPERTIES OF METALS\n\nThis section is devoted primarily to the terms used in describing various properties and characteristics of metals in general. Of primary concern in aircraft maintenance are such general properties of metals and their alloys as hardness, brittleness, malleability, ductility, elasticity, toughness, density, fusibility, conductivity, and contraction and expansion. You must know the definition of the terms included here because they form the basis for further discussion of aircraft metals.\n\nHardness\n\nHardness refers to the ability of a metal to resist abrasion, penetration, cutting action, or permanent distortion. Hardness may be increased by working the metal and, in the case of steel and certain titanium and aluminum alloys, by heat treatment and cold-working (discussed later). Structural parts are often formed from metals in their soft state and then heat treated to harden them so that the finished shape will be retained. Hardness and strength are closely associated properties of all metals.\n\nBrittleness\n\nBrittleness is the property of a metal that allows little bending or deformation without shattering. In other words, a brittle metal is apt to break or crack without change of shape. Because structural metals are often subjected to shock loads, brittleness is not a very desirable property. Cast iron, cast aluminum, and very hard steel are brittle metals.\n\nMalleability\n\nA metal that can be hammered, rolled, or pressed into various shapes without cracking or breaking or other detrimental effects is said to be malleable. This property is necessary in sheet metal that is to be worked into curved shapes such as cowlings, fairings, and wing tips. Copper is one example of a malleable metal.\n\nDuctility\n\nDuctility is the property of a metal that permits it to be permanently drawn, bent, or twisted into various shapes without breaking. This property is essential for metals used in making wire and tubing. Ductile metals are greatly preferred for aircraft use because of their ease of forming and resistance to failure under shock loads. For this reason, aluminum alloys are used for cowl rings, fuselage and wing skin, and formed or extruded parts, such as ribs, spars, and bulkheads. Chrome-molybdenum steel is also easily formed into desired shapes. Ductility is similar to malleability.\n\nElasticity\n\nElasticity is that property that enables a metal to return to its original shape when the force that causes the change of shape is removed. This property is extremely valuable, because it would be highly undesirable to have a part permanently distorted after an applied load was removed. Each metal has a point known as the elastic limit, beyond which it cannot be loaded without causing permanent distortion. When metal is loaded beyond its elastic limit and permanent distortion does result, it is referred to as strained. In aircraft construction, members and parts are so designed that the maximum loads to which they are subjected will never stress them beyond their elastic limit.\n\nNOTE: Stress is the internal resistance of any metal to distortion.\n\nToughness\n\nA material that possesses toughness will withstand tearing or shearing and may be stretched or otherwise deformed without breaking. Toughness is a desirable property in aircraft metals.\n\nDensity\n\nDensity is the weight of a unit volume of a material. In aircraft work, the actual weight of a material per cubic inch is preferred, since this figure can be used in determining the weight of a part before actual manufacture. Density is an important consideration when choosing a material to be used in the design of a part and still maintain the proper weight and balance of the aircraft.\n\nFusibility\n\nFusibility is defined as the ability of a metal to become liquid by the application of heat. Metals are fused in welding. Steels fuse at approximately 2,500°F, and aluminum alloys at approximately 1, 110°F.\n\nConductivity\n\nConductivity is the

What are the lyrics to Everytime we touch by Cascada?

I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me,\nI still feel your touch in my dreams. (my dreams)\nForgive me my weakness,\nbut I don't know why.\nWithout you it's hard to survive.\n\n'Cause everytime we touch,\nI get this feeling,\nand every time we kiss,\nI swear I can fly\nCan't you feel my heart beat fast?\nI want this to last,\nneed you by my side.\n'Cause everytime we touch,\nI feel the static,\nand everytime we kiss,\nI reach for the sky.\nCan't you hear my heart beat so?\nI can't let you go,\nwant you in my life.\n\nYour arms are my castle,\nyour heart is my sky.\nThey wipe away tears that I cry. (I cry)\nThe good and the bad times,\nwe've been through them all.\nYou make me rise when I fall.\n\n'Cause everytime we touch,\nI get this feeling,\nand everytime we kiss,\nI swear I can fly.\nCan't you feel my heart beat fast?\nI want this to last,\nneed you by my side.\n'Cause everytime we touch,\nI feel the static,\nand everytime we kiss,\nI reach for the sky.\nCan't you hear my heart beat so?\nI can't let you go,\nwant you in my life.\n\n'Cause everytime we touch,\nI get this feeling,\nand everytime we kiss,\nI swear I can fly.\nCan't you feel my heart beat fast?\nI want this to last,\nneed you by my side.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI love that song!!

Why Do People up north think that the south is slow about learning?

Honestly... because we are!  I live in Georgia and I have been in the public school system as a student for 13 years (K-12) and when it comes to what I have learned and the education... it was enough to get me by but nothing more.  There are some schools down here that are wonderful and exceptional but they fall short under the radar because the majority of public schools lack the substance that we needed going through school.  They are poorly funded and because the schools, here in Georgia for example, need teachers so badly, anyone (with or without a degree) can take a summer course and then that following school term, can be a teacher; most likely teaching in something that they no little about.  Georgia was ranked number 50 in the country for about 2 or 3 years straight based on SAT scores and so on.  Now we have moved up.... to number 49!  Go GA! I hate to make such a joke but that's exactly what my education seems to be to the superintendents and the people that are in charge of giving me that education.... a joke.

i want to speak english fluently.what can i do?any useful website for this.Give best advice?

Immersion is the only way.  You need to live among English only speakers and don't converse with anyone in your main language.\n\nAlso, take great care to listen closely to those speaking English and do your best to imitate the sounds they make.  That's how you lose an accent.


It depends on how old your brothers are... If they are still living with their mother then look up their mother's name.  If you can't seem to get anywhere, you can hire a private investigating service to find them.  Through marriage certificates and birth certificates, they can pretty much find anyone.  It may cost you a few hundred bucks though, but it sounds like it's be worth it for you.\n\nBefore you go to find this mystery second brother, you may want to find out why your dad is denying him... Is his ex-wife a complete wacko that he doesn't want you to get involved in her life at all?  Or maybe there's something wrong with the child and it's too hard for him to talk about it... I'd ask your dad again, telling him how important it is for you to find your brothers.\n\nGood luck, I hope you find the rest of your family!

pl advise, dentist charged me $1100 with insur. for a crown,on the phone they said $900 without insurance?

If I were you, I would get a 2nd opinion. And when doing so- Do not tell the dentist you are seeing about any of the prices you've already been quoted. The price $900.00 is about right for a crown, compared to my dental office (where I work). Let  me tell you that $1800 for one tooth to be extracted is ridiculous!! It is more expensive with being put under with the anestesia. But if your husband is comfortable being at the dentist and he can handle being awake, I would advise him to go without the anestesia. Extracting a tooth doesn't take that long. Most of the time is used waiting on the numbess to settle in enough so he will feel no pain. I hope I helped!

Is 180,000 dollars too much to attend Columbia Law School?

Columbia is an EXCELLENT school.  You will likely earn $100 - 125 k your first year out, and you can start paying back your loans quickly.  Also, since it is such a highly ranked school, it will be easier for you to get paid summer internships, which may help offset the costs a bit.\n\nMany law schools have very pricey tuition - I go to Loyola Law, and they are about $32k a year, plus they expect another $15k or so living expenses.  USC is about $40k a year, with similar living expenses.  Unless you go to a state school where you are a resident, or you can find a place with cheap living expenses, you are going to end up with about the same amount of debt no matter where you go. (As to the person who suggested USF - they are actually almost as much as Columbia, and much lower ranked, so you would actually lose money because your salary would be lower coming out!)\n\nSuck it up and take out the loans... you may be eating ramen and mac and cheese for three years, but you will have an excellent legal education and will be able to demand some of the highest salaries once you graduate!!


what was the United States role in the advancement of World War 2?

That is a very open ended question.  \n\nAfter WWI America was in a economic depression.  A very strong isolationist feeling was prevalent throughout the land.  America fought in WWI and even though we won, we really received no benefit from being in that war.  When the new war broke out in Europe the American people wanted nothing to do with it.  \n\nAmerica's greatest ally (England) was in danger of losing the war, but we would not help.  We were helping economically and providing arms, but no military.  \n\nIt was not until Japan attacked us that we started fighting back.  The President used the attack on Pearl Harbor as an excuse to start helping England.  If Japan had never attacked us, We may have never gotten involved, and the world picture would be completely different.

I fell out with my friend over several things including her v. rude bf.  Should I try to make up with her?

I think that you should pass on this friend.  I know you love her and that you will miss her, but she is headed in a different direction than you.  You have yourself and your future hubby to think of - don't let guilt feelings make you invite her when you think she might bring that guy and ruin your wedding day.  It sounds to me like you are better off without her.  You can enjoy the memories of the friend she used to be.


What was Plato's response to injustice being more advantageous than justice?

I don't think I can easily sum up the argument except to point out that Plato believed each individual owed a duty not just to himself but to the State (the community he lives in), and therefore a just life is more appropriate to this duty.\n\nBut again, the reasoning here is complicated and deserves some thought.
