I started off with my Masters program in Electrical Engineering in University of Arizona, Tucson where I did four graduate level courses. Later I shifted to California State University at Los Angeles (CSULA) and did two graduate level courses in Electrical Engineering program. Now I received admission into Masters in Electrical Engineering in University of Southern California (USC) for Spring 2005. But I have found that USC would transfer only 4 units and that I would have to mostly do all the 27 units required for the Masters program in USC. That would cost me 27x1100 approx = 30,000 approx USD. Is it really worth graduating from University of Southern California spending that much money? Can I get the same job graduating from CSULA as I would get graduating from USC? | As someone in the technology field in the Los Angeles area, I would have to say that the USC degree is worth more than one from CSULA, because of the quality of the professors and program. USC's EE program is much higher rated that any CS school--in fact it's ranked among MIT, Stanford, Caltech, CMU, and others as one of the top schools in the nation according to the U.S. News and World Report. (That said, I got my own degree there...) The rankings were 1. MIT 2. Stanford 3. Berkeley 4. Georgia Tech / U of Illinois Urbana 6. Univ. of Michigan 7. USC Viterbi School 8. Caltech 9. Carnegie Mellon 10. Purdue. |

Why do the investigators in the television show CSI always look at rooms in the dark, with flashlights? | For forensic reasons but also for the effect of the show. Psychologically our minds view dark places with more suspense and anticipation. It is exploring the unknown. If you think about other movies or shows that explore the crime scene in daylight it simply does not have the same suspense factor. |
How much money should I make a year? typical salary?\n\nI have a full time job working in a technology company, helping to design analytical scientific instruments.\n\nI have a B.Sc. in Biochemistry and Biotechnology.\n3 years work experience in the company I work for, in helping to design analytical equipment, and to test it etc..\nI also have various other responsibilities including:\nHead of the IT department, responsible for building & maintaining PC's and network \nCompany Safety officer, maintaining safety equipment, signs, MSDS's , Chemicals etc..\n\nI also have various other skills in, Genetics, Microbiology, Marketing, Business, Interpersonal Customer relations etc.. etc..\n\nSO how much should I make a year?\n\nDon’t forget to include Currency.\nI’m from Canada. | Average out of college bio/life science job starts at around USD 30K. Assuming you have three years of experience, and if you were working for the company, you'd receive a 5% raise each year for the job well done, you're looking at $35K as target range. |

They should include different kinds of language games, warmers, conversation starters and alike. The more sites, the better..... | There are many many many sites available on the net for us English teachers. What I usually do when I'm searching for activities is google with the term "ESL" and then some other descriptive term that fits what I'm looking for. \n\nFor example, if I'm looking for a site that has a game that teaches my beginning-level ESL class about how to tell time, I might search on "beginning ESL time". Believe me, you will find lots of sites that way!\n\nI'm also including the link to Dave's ESL Cafe, a well-known site of the type you're looking for. |

Suppose you were the general manager in the big company.One of your employees is very busy with several projects.For the reason of working efficiency,you turn over one the projects to another employee at the meeting without informing him before the meeting,so this employee felt hurt and losing face.Now what would you, the general manager say to him? \n(I am a chinese english learner. I'd like to know how the native english speakers making apologies to the above mentioned employee. Please offer more responses ranging simple ones to complicated ones in that situation.Sincerely thank you!) | Well, the best way to tell is to invite him to lunch one day and take him out and make good friends of him and eventually he might forgive and forget the mistake.\n\nIf you dont like this then you could talk to him about it when ever you get to personally meet him.\n\nYou could also email him saying that You did not mean exactly what went wrong, but yet making him understand that you are equal to all employess. End the email with, I have lots of confidence on the other projects he was doing and that you did not want to put pressure on him with more of the projects. |
Acceptable in different continents/countries... | no, it would be a terrible idea, even though the euro is doing good despite the fact that some of the nations that joined had poor economies, the majority of the economies that joined were well standing by themselves. If we made a world currency than we would have to take into account the poor economies that would join (i.e. africa, mexico, most of south america etc..) \nwhich would drag down the value of the global currency and hurt everyone in the end. |
The Democratic party has, in general, proven itself to be anti-liberation, anti-progress and in many cases anti-American.\n\nSpecifically, the party has been a vocal opponent of the liberation of the Iraqi people and consistently displayed profound disrespect and ignorance regarding the dangerous and hard work of our military.\n\nWith the clear success of the Iraq war and the ongoing liberation of the Iraqi people, I wonder if the Democratic party can live down this public record of stupidity in time for the 2008 presidential election?\n\nAnd if so, how? | They sure picked a bad time to open their mouths and say stupid things. I know I won't forget what they did at this time. What they have been doing borders on being anti-American, even treasonous. I mean, the day before elections in which 70% of the Iraqi populous turned out, you have Weseley Clark saying we are losing the war. Is that stupid, or what? (And I don't use the word "stupid" too often.) |
This question is in regard to the legalities of fire investigation. | If you include that this deception is propogated between two or more people, you've got a pretty good definition of conspiracy, as it is, it's most like a definition of fraud. |

you are a convicted murder who repented, or a gay couple who have never done any thing wrong to any body and saves the rain forest and all that goody two shoe stuff, the only thing that you ever did that might get you noticed at the gates was fall in love with a person of the same sex | This is not a question. Be honest with yourself and us. \n\nBut if you want the truth, there is only one sin and one sin alone that keeps us from heaven, and that is not receiving God's free gift of salvation through His Son. You need to realize that good works do NOT get us to heaven. You cannot buy your way there, that is why Jesus had to pay the price for us. It is a debt we could not pay. But don't worry, if you want your companion more than God, He will not stand in the way of your decision, that is what free will is for. If you are willing to pay an eternal price for such a decision, it will be your choice and your choice alone. You might want to talk to God about it first. |

I have been dating this guy for the past 3 months. We had a discussion a few days ago about what we want from each other. He doesnt feel like he is ready for a relationship because he has some things he wants to make better with himself. For example, he says he wants to be different than any other guy I have dated. I dont see what the big deal is. I think he feels like he is not good enough to wear the boyfriend title right now because he is unhappy with his job, life, etc. I on the other hand am ready. I feel like no one is perfect, we all have our struggles and imperfections. I will take him as he is...flaws and all. We get along great, we are dating exclusively. I have strong feelings for him and he says that he has them for me. Is there a certain amount of time that i should wait or should I just let it go? I know that in time, feelings will only get stronger and then what? I dont want to date anyone else...Should I just be patient?? | Let him go. If it's meant to be, he'll realize what an idiot he is and come back. In the meantime, why should you sacrifice what you really want (a relationship) for someone else? You deserve to be happy. \n\nWhy are we women always so ready to sacrifice the possibility of loving, committed relationships with other people, just to stay with someone who is 'not sure' about us? It's silly. Go out and get what you want. |
What do you think is the best among Far Cry, Doom 3, Half Life 2, FEAR, Quake 4 or something else? | My favorites are Battlefield 2 and Raven shield. Two GREAT games. Espically BF2 with me being a stat fanatic, and all. Plus is has great graphics. Raven shield is an older game, But I like it because I own at it. :} Unreal Tournament 99, An oldie but one of the greatest games ever made. My very first game I got almost 6 years ago. |
Is it constitutional for America to have 'God' in i's constitution? | "God" is not mentioned in the Constitution. And the Constitution forbids the making of any laws for OR against religion, which is pretty much the same thing as saying "all persons have freedom to worship as they please, and it's our job to make sure they keep that as a right." \n\nClosest thing to mention God is the Declaration of Independence, which says "...endowed by their Creator..." |

The computer monitor has a normal computer input. | Assuming you have a computer hooked up to the LCD monitor, I've done this before by using a video-capture or TV Tuner card through the computer.\n\nYou can get a PCI TV Tuner card which allows for standard video inputs (usually coax and composite), these tend to run around $50 or less. Once the hardware and software are installed, simply hook the gamecube up to the Tuner card as though it were a TV, and the software will let you view the console output on your computer monitor.\n\nBasically, turn your computer into a TV and everything falls into place for hooking standard TV accessories to it. |

Where and how did the term "cold turkey" originate? What was its original meaning? | The term allegedly derives from the comparison of a cold turkey carcass and the state of a withdrawing addict -- most notably, the cold sweats and goose bumps.\n\nThere is more to be found on the link, I just decided not to include it, but it is kinda interesting. |
would like to contact without going through the personals. She is the perfect fit for me. | Is it going to be worth the $20? I think that's an ok price for meeting someone you think is going to be so great.\n\nLook at it in the larger view of life. Twenty bucks? That's like taking her to a movie. |
addiction to anything, addiction toward the tv, the radio, the computer,cell phone...anything! | I read that there is a medication in the works to work on the addictive part of the brain. Right now there isn't a cure. You can stop doing the addictive activity but it's not a cure, just restraint. Lot's of times it turns into changing the addiction to something else. I quit drinking and now I eat too much candy even though I wasn't much of a candy person before. I also buy more scratch tickets. |
With Geena Davis acting recently in Commander-in-Chief and almost no fiction (excepting maybe When Spirits Beckon at Amazon.com), it's surprising that there's very little discussion on the prospects of either Condi Rice or Hillary Clinton becoming the 1st female president. | Even if the right supports Condi in the Presidential Cabinet, I really doubt their support would run all of the way to the Presidency. There are far to many in the "religion right" that would have a ideological problem with a woman being President. \n\nAs for Hillary, I think she could get a lot of support from the more liberal left, but still not enough to be elected. Not to mention there is A LOT of dirt on her. The realities of who she is would turn away all but the most liberal minded. \n\nSo yes, I think it is difficult for a female to be elected. I wouldn't rule it out for the future, but for now I find it highly unlikely it could be accomplished. |
I bought a picture frame for my mother-in-law with a chicken on it and it has this name on it. I assume it is a female chicken, but what lanquage?

That rooster was of a rare, old and noble breed, and had a very strange appearance and behaviour. |

While the network is OK and Proxy Server too is working fine, I suddenly loose the connection to my Proxy for internet and after sometime when I try I could browse normally. I use windows XP Proff. edition with service pack 2. IE 6.0.2... What could be the reason? Is it something to do with my Proxy software or with my windows firewall settings? Please give us some clues / suggestions? Thanks | Are you using windowsISA server? What versions? If so, the proxy server has had a bug with disconnecting the outside card (public) and refreshing it again in a few seconds. I had seen this happen with windows ISA server2000. Usually upgrading the ISA version corrected the problem in most of my cases. |

Is there a museum anywhere in the world that has parts from real Dodo birds in its collection? | Sure.

$65 to $70 every time I need ink. There are three kids but only one uses the ink.\nOuch | I have read that HP makes 50% of its annual corporate profit from the sale of printer ink. Its like the old Polaroid camera - the camera was cheap, the film was expensive.\nI get my ink from ABC Ink. For an older Epson printer, I pay $3.00 for black and about $4 to $5 for color.\nMy recommendation: before buying a printer, check the Internet for price of ink for that printer. Pick the printer that meets your needs that has the cheapest ink.\nAlso, there is now a business that will refill your empty ink cartridges for about 1/2 the price of a new one. You can use Google to see if there is one near you. But for my Epsons, the internet has the lowest prices. |
r we alone in this universe?? | The universe is so huge that it would be a common sense thing to belive that life exists else where. But it would be a question how that animals might have formed?. How will they differ from us? How will they reproduce or reproduce in first place? or will they ever die? will their genetic code read lines of death or aging? |
President Lyndon Johnson had the same type of cozy "you bankroll me and I'll send a lot of government contracts your way" relationship with Brown & Root as VP Cheney has with Haliburton today. Interestingly, Brown & Root bought Kellogg and became "Kellogg, Brown & Root", then "KBR", and then bought Haliburton with their massive Vietnam War profits. Haliburton IS Brown & Root, executing the same business plan that proved so successful in the 60's: put your guy into the White House (even if just as the de facto President), find a pretext for a war, have him find a way to get the US deep into the war, make MASSIVE PROFITS, PREFERABLY WITH NO-BID, COST-PLUS CONTRACTS, repeat. | Except your facts are all wrong. Halliburton acquired Brown & Root in 1962, well before major US involvement in Vietnam. KBR didn't become its own entity until 2002 after the asbestos lawsuits were going full steam ahead, threatening Halliburton assets. The company spilt off KBR and placed in under bankruptcy protection.\n\nSo what is your question anyway??? It appears to be a misguided attack on the right. |

how do you say hi, bye and what do you answer if you do? \n\njust wanted to know as an FYI! | Well, "assalmualaykum" is meant for greeting and saying "good bye" only from Muslims to Muslims.\n\nIf you are greeting an Arab, unsure of his/her religion, you could say "Ahlan wa sahlan" (Ah-lunn wah-sah-lunn). He/she will say back "Ahlan bika/biki/bikum". You could also say "Marhaban bika" (Marr-hah-bun bee-kah)for a man, "Marhaban biki" (marr-hah-bun bee-key) for a woman or "Marhamaban bikum" (Marr-huh-bun bee-koom) for many. The terms literally mean "Love to you" or so.\n\nWhen separating, you say "Ilal liqoq ma us salamah" (Ee-lul-lee-qoc ma us sah-lah-muh).\nIt means "Until next time. With peace or Have peace or Peace!".\n\nHope you will get some benefit from me. |

Some scientists talk about our “4 dimensions” in space and time, but only studied people in that field have some idea of what that means. If you ask a 15-year-old, in a simple answer he/she will say: “three”. Are there more dimensions beyond our understanding? | Classical physics theories describe three physical dimensions: from a particular point in space, the basic directions in which we can move are up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. Movement in any other direction can be expressed in terms of just these three.\n\nTime is often referred to as the "fourth dimension". It is, in essence, one way to measure physical change. It is perceived differently from the three spatial dimensions in that there is only one of it, and that movement seems to occur at a fixed rate and in one direction. The equations used by physics to model reality often do not treat time in the same way that humans perceive it.\n\nTheories such as string theory predict that the space we live in has in fact many more dimensions (frequently 10, 11 or 26), but that the universe measured along these additional dimensions is subatomic in size. As a result, we perceive only the three spatial dimensions that have macroscopic size. |
Hos can the USA justify this?? It is the ordinary cubans who suffer. | I think it's over 40 years this has been happening. Why doesn't it change? It's not a simple answer. There are lots of websites talking about the reasons why. And one reason right now is I feel because of Bush. |
they are just ass holes that dont no what they want untill they lose you so why is that why do guys have to hurt you and you are really in love with them can some one answer that for me. | Some guys never figure out what they really want & others think that the sole aim in life is to have someone that will sleep with them on a regular basis. There are, however, good men out there...it just normally takes them awhile to gain the maturity needed to be a partner in a relationship.\n\nWhy do they lose you & then want you back? Simple; some are incapable of seeing how good a thing they had until it is gone & immature enough to think that a little "I love you" will make everything better. They don't understand that, if a man really loves a woman, he doesn't intentionally hurt her...whether physically or emotionally.\n\nGood luck & keep trying! You'll find a good guy. I know they aren't all taken :) |
There seems to be no advertisement or payment made by user. | They remain open because of an investment support from Sequoia Capital. They also said that it was founded by early commerce pioneers of PayPal.\n\nI too am surprised that there aren't any ads, yet.\n\n"Founded in February 2005, YouTube is a consumer media company for people to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience. Founded by early commerce pioneers of PayPal, YouTube allows people to easily upload, tag, and share personal video clips through www.YouTube.com and across the Internet on other sites, blogs and through e-mail, as well as to create their own personal video network.

My mother lives with me (for the winter) and she is starting to get annoyed with the way my husband plays a lot. And it is starting to cause porblems what do I do? | Mothers don't stop being mothers just because their daughters grow up and get married. They just aren't wired that way. It might help to talk with your mom about how you and your husband feel when she shows annoyance. Do this when things are calm, not in the heat of the moment. It might also help for you and your husband to talk about how you can enjoy each other and your relationship more privately so that your mom is not exposed to your husband's playfulness.\n\nYou might also just have to learn to live with it and not let it get to you. You can probably figure out a response to your mom that doesn't escalate the stress level. Let her know that you're glad she cares about how you are treated, but that you are comfortable with the way your relationship with your husband works. |
i was workig as a temp befor for one year and four mounths then i got a one mouth contract job so i dont know what am i'm going to do January next year'please help me? | What are your qualifications? Start hitting the proverbial pavement and look at newspapers, websites, job fairs, and magazines targeted at the industry you want to work in. I looked for over 18 months before I found my job, and I made sure that I wasn't hired on a specific contract, but with the company itself. Good luck!! |
the IRS never wrote back once i filed the dispute. am i legally allowed not to pay? | You didn't say what the penalty was for (late filing, late payment, interest, trust fund penalties, etc.). Nor did you state who is handling your dispute (IRS Appeals, Collection Due Process, Tax Court). There's slightly different rules depending on what's going on.\n\nThe basic process for handling penalties and disputes is outlined on the IRS website.\n\nIn general, the IRS will investigate whether you are responsible for the penalty, and will send up a notice informing you that the penalty was waived or that you really do owe the penalty. Interest will accrue if you really do owe the penalty, but you haven't paid it yet.\n\nGenerally, I advise my clients to pay all penalties in full, and then dispute the penalties. This shows a good faith effort, and stops additional penalties and interest from being added to the account. If we lose the dispute, at least the client paid only the penalty and not additional interest. If we win, the client gets his money back.\n\nI hope this helps. Let us know how your dispute with the IRS turns out.\n\nBest wishes.\n\nWilliam |

first of all i respect coach k and duke, but why is duke always preseason #1 and they never win. mind you i know coach k's legacy 7 campionships played 3 championships won but come on guys the last time they won arizona was the preseason favorite. P.S. NEVER MIND | It's all about reputation. Not that Coach K isn't a good coach, and not that he doesn't have good players, but picking a preseason number 1 is all about hype. Duke generates some of the best hype in the country, thanks to a bunch of ACC-biased commentators. Also, there can only be one winner, and it's not always the best team that wins. Sometimes, it's just the one who doesn't hit a cold streak in March. |
In the area of emails, surfing, attachments, spam, etc. Since much of it is "unwritten" what do you feel it means to be a good Netizen (citizen of the Internet). | Just had a nose around the web. (see Links)\nMy first place I look now is always Google / Yahoo. I normally do a search with "wiki" followed by what I am after.\n\nThis normally brings up a Wikipedia entry on the subject. Its pretty comprehensive. \n\nTo me being on the internet is essential these days. And as the English language is the common language in use on the net (however 1 Billion new users are going to be using the net within 10 years, so its soon going to be Asian Languages)\n\nMy first rule then, is to read what you type before you send it, and make sure no-one else will take your message the wrong way.

I could not find a direct connection between Emma Stampley and Operation Life but UNLV has a new service - IM a librarian at this url: http://www.library.unlv.edu/news.html (go to the bottom of the page for the contact info) - since they have the papers, they should be able to locate names of staff members, participants, etc.\n\nThere was an Emma Stampley who was the mother of a long time butcher for the casinos in Las Vegas - here is his obit:\n\nBlake Stampley Jr.\n \n Blake Stampley Jr., 47, died Thursday.\n He was born Jan. 22, 1951, in Russun, Miss., was a butcher for the hotel industry and a 30-year resident of Las Vegas.\n He is survived by his wife, Vicki Price; daughter, Carmel Gadsen; sons, Blake and Leslie Hildreth, all of Las Vegas, and David of Phoenix; mother, Emma Stampley-Daugherty; brothers, Clay, Donald and Andre, all of Las Vegas, and Henry of Vicksburg, Miss.; sisters, Bertha House of Irving, Texas, Dorothy Daugherty and Linda, both of Las Vegas; and six grandchildren.\n Visitation will be from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday in Bunkers Mortuary, where services will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Laptop will shut down randomly, sometimes after about 10 minutes of use. Even when it's plugged in, and battery is fully charged.\n\nI've seen this behavior on an HP Laptop and an IBM Thinkpad T21.\n\nAny reference links would be greatly appreciated. | I had the same problem in my company, in my case it was a spyware/adware program. Scan it with adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\nand MS antispyware\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nthese to program will find it and remove it, if you have never ran an antispy ware program in this laptop you will probably find a lot of them, once you scan you pc and it asks what actions to take after the scan make sure you follow the software's recommendation. If spyware/adware is not the problem your pc is probably overheating, a clear indication is when the fan does not work. |
When Janet Jackson showed her nipple at the Super Bowl, it was a national scandal. But the government had many statues of women with breasts exposed? What is the big deal? | Your point is very logical. \n\nHowever, also keep in mind that television broadcast decency standards are fairly well-defined. \n\nEvery once in a while, the FCC decides it needs to enforce their powers by the means of a sanction or fines. Otherwise, if the FCC never enforced any rules, their granted powers would diminish over time until people believed the FCC lacked power. Since every government agency tries to keep as much power as possible there is probably political or institutional pressure for the FCC to enforce communications rules. This may not always result in equitable enforcement. |

Excluding DigFind.com... | My vote goes to Google.\n\nMy answer is google for the following reasons:\n\nPros of Google:\n\nAs a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information.\n\nFor makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads.\n\nGoogle also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so.\n\nThe relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results.\n\nGoogle has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines.\n\nCons of Google:\n\nHowever, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides.\n\nAlso, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos.\n\nDue to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs. Because most bloggers mention the word failure with President Bush's name, the #1 site on searching Failure is the website of President Bush.\n\nYahoo is doing pretty good research in Search Technologies, for example Grokker.\n\nhttp://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250 |

I am a marketing student and I need desperately to know this as I have a presentation on this | Case studies of work your agency has executed for other clients is always effective. Hopefully your case study will highlight work for a company closely related to your target.\n\nBusinesses are very interested in ROI - Return On Investment. Therefore, present metrics you've used to track previous campaigns, as well as the "win" your client realized.\n\nAs with all advertising, building a brand is important. Therefore, try to market your company in ways that highlight your brand attributes.\n\nRemember that in your case, you have at least two target audiences: future clients and future employees. |

Or does did we miss something in the Bible and He just banishes us to hell for not believing in the first place? | "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.\n\nDo not believe simply because it has been handed down for many generations.\n\nDo not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.\n\nDo not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures.\n\nDo not believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.\n\nBelieve only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.\n\nThen accept it and live up to it." \n\nThe Buddha on Belief - from the Kalama Sutta |
I just signed up for the Yahoo Messenger today. I have an icon on my desktop. When I click on it to open, it blinks on quickly and then goes out. I have a little face on my date bar at the bottom, but when I place my mouse on it, it goes away. How can I open my Yahoo Messenger in order to send instant messages? | Download the new version of Yahoo Messenger 7.5 Beta. It should solve the problem and also bring you more options such as PC-to-Phone calls. |
I have been dating the same girl for about 4 years and she moved in about 9 months ago. Before we moved in together we had only argued a couple of times. Now we probably argue once a week. For me I know it’s common to argue, but today I suppose was different. I just had bought dinner for us and we came back home to a mess. I began cleaning up the house and after 30 minutes I asker her to help. A huge fight ensued because she was slamming things around and I had asked her to stop. I told her that it is okay for her to be upset with me, but to please not take it out on the dishes. She got angry and said that she can’t stand these arguments and that she was just over everything. She then stormed off to her bedroom and that’s that. Is my relationship coming to and end? | Something seems to be missing in your story--or your girlfriend is schizoid. But seriously, it isn't really normal to fight every week, so possibly she is still angry about whatever it is you guys have been fighting about. I would think about the tone you may have had when you asked her to clean, I imagine you were upset because she wasn't helping, and that may have set her off. If you want to save your relationship talk to her like an adult to an adult and try to figure out how to resolve your problems in a positive way. Try to avoid accusatory and patronizing statements. You two are probably just having trouble adjusting to living together. Good Luck |
I major in Information Systems and have to take math classes. I am phobic when it comes to math, especially Algebra....letters and numbers that make no sense.

I'm just trying to get back at all the spammers. Spammers spamming spammers - interesting concept, no? | go to yahoo groups and search for something popular (like "Funny" )\nand join a group thats has no mail moderation\n(in the groups homepage see "Settings" in the left narrow column)\nif messages don't need approval then join\n\nthis means that anyone can send anything and they r not filtered\n\nspammers use this way in Yahoo! Groups |
I just want one big loan, and debt consolidation won't give me enough, we've already tried... | One way to handle this, if you own a house, would be to get a second mortgage or refinance your current mortgage for $42,000 more than the current balance of your mortgage.\n\nIf you don't own a house and cannot get a debt consolidation loan, there is little else you can do. The best thing would be to pay as much off as you can every month (always pay more than the minimum) until you have little enough debt to get a loan. |
Aaccording to Matthews 2:4 there were wise men, but the Bible does not say three (3) only that there were wise men. Where did the number three come from? | The Bible doesn't tell us how many wise men actually went to see Jesus. Sometime between Jesus being born and today, people began to assume that there were 3 wise men merely because they brought three gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In reality, there were most likely more than 3, but there's no way to prove how many there actually were. |
THESE GIRLS TELL ME THIS ALL THE TIME! | It means "I want you a lot" ... I think you are exaggerating a little on the girls telling you that all the time... lol jk |

Could planets exist in stable orbits around binary stars? | That might depend on wether the binary stars are very close (and spinning about each other) such that they "look" almost like a simple center of gravity relative to a planet far enough away to not be affected by lets say bumps in the gravity field. Einstein told us that gravity distorts space and planets therefore merely follow the curved space layed out for them. The earth senses the gravitational pull of both the sun and say Jupiter but only the sun has a major affect because of proximity and mass. The short answer to your question is that planets can exist in stable (though irregular) orbits around binary stars depending on the curvature of space in its orbit. Hope that helps a little. |
as far my knowledge,it is not better than sanskrit\nsanskrit is the mother of all north indian languages\ntamil is the mother of all south indian languages\n\nso why not one of these two?\n\nwhats ther special in hindi? | First of all Hindi is not our (India's) single national language. There exists no such thing in our constitution. Languages in our constitution is devided into two categories. Namely Official languages (Central administrative)& Scheduled list of languages for official use.\n\nOfficial languages are Hindi and English\n\nAnother 22 regional languages for official use.\n\nOnly around 40% of Indians speak Hindi as mother tounge but nearly 70% can understand Hindi. And that's hardly a criteria for "Naional Language". |
New Years resolutions for me don't work. The first week of the new year is the "golden period". Several opportunities to make it right. And if you fuck up, it's over. You'll feel like a major turd no matter what you do. If you're lucky, whatever you wanted to do will last for a maximum of two days. After that? Screw it. | My resolution, like it has been every year since I was thirteen (7 or 8 years ago)is to find a girl who likes me the way I am, is interesting, pretty, and who I can deeply trust and care about. Someone who isn't a snob or some cutey-pie flirt. |
Does Post-Katrina Mold Threatens Health in New Orleans ??? | Apparently so:\n\n\n"An environmental group says that mold spore counts are four times normal levels in some areas of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and warning residents to wear masks and protective clothing may not be enough.\n\nThe Natural Resources Defense Council said their tests show mold spores at "extraordinarily high" levels which could easily trigger serious allergic or asthmatic reactions.\n\nThe most common symptoms associated with exposure to certain molds include the following: Nasal stuffiness, Eye irritation, Wheezing, Aggravation of asthma, Cold/flu like symptoms, Rashes, Fever, Shortness of breath, Inability to concentrate, Fatigue & Sometimes lung infections" |
Do I have to buy new hardware, or is there a software fix? | DVD is a different format with respect to CD RW. If your hardware supports only CDs for reading and burning, then there's no possibility of it reading the DVD. As you mentioned that you have a laptop, I guess it should be a DVD combo, i.e. DVD read only and CD Read/Write support, because that is the standard in laptops. I rarely have known a laptop model which has a CDRW drive, excepting if it is older than 2 years. You can check the DVD logo on the side of your drive. \n\nIn case it is a cdrw and you need to play a dvd, you need a computer with dvd drive on your network neibourhood. Just share the DVD drive on that computer, and you can access the DVD drive as your own drive. Best of luck on the experiment. |
