Should I care about this comment from work?

One of the guys in my office job said I may have issues up top, though I don't know if he's saying that to wind me up or if its serious.





Could be to do with the fact I handed in my notice this week....





Any thoughts please?Should I care about this comment from work?
Just disregard what that guy commented. Don't give so much attention and time to a blurred issues which even the guy is surely not aware of. Don't be bothered its just a pain in the back. You know that.Should I care about this comment from work?
If you're leaving who cares what some douse says to you......I'm leaving and seriously contemplating taking a big dump on a co-worker's desk (she's a big part of the reason I am leaving.)





jk.....about the dump thing.....but man would that be funny......i better keep the reference tho
Just ignore him what youdo is your decision and nowt to do with anyone else good luck
Well, if you handed in your notice - I don't think I'd care about it.
Maybe he thinks you are making a very bad mistake leaving. Either way you are going and will not, in fact can not, change your mind. Once these things are done there is no going back
It depends in what context he was using it and also why would you really care if you are leaving, surely what they say does not matter.
Whether you're thick or not, the guy shouldn't have said that, because that's bullying. Have as little to do with him as possible until you leave. And as you go, say: 'I never liked you, you patronising bastard, you gruesome bully.'
if you have handed in your notice what does it matter anyway you aint got to work with that person anymore and hopefully wont have to see them. they are obviously childish to make comments like that anyway.

NETGEAR Wireless internet.. works on this but not laptop..?

My wireless internet is working on this computer (main) but not on my laptop.. I tried to connect to ';Katie'; (me) and it says diagnose problem or connect to different network. I have no idea what I'm doing.. can someone walk me through? Please? Thanks so much for taking the time to help me. %26lt;3NETGEAR Wireless internet.. works on this but not laptop..?
Hey, ok we have to check a couple of things. First we need to know if you were able to connect before this happened. Also we need to know if you unplugged anything recently from your router to your modem.





First lets check that all the light on the router are on and working the way they worked before. Second we need to find out how many lights you have on your modem, the modem is the little device that your internet provider provide for you. This might be connected to your phone line or cable.





If you didn't unplugg anything from any of those boxes, then the problem might be with the configuration of the router. To check this we have to access the modem's page and then check the settings, there we need to find what the user id and password are fore the internet connection. This user id and password was given to you by your internet provider, this can be an e-mail address... After this we can check other things. For further help please e-mail me at luisangelrivero@yahoo.com.... please e-mail me I know what I am doing... take care...NETGEAR Wireless internet.. works on this but not laptop..?
Do you have a wifi off and on switch? When I first got a new laptop with built in wifi receiver I thought it was broke; the store showed me the on off switch - it was off!





If you are still under warranty the company Tech Assist help line may be able to help you. You know, talking to a real live person!





Perhaps you have free warranty work where you can take it back to your store and one of the tech/nerds can show you. I have Verizon as my network provider and they helped me get my laptop connected when I had problems, it's free!





Have you taken your laptop to a McDonalds or library where you have free wifi and did it work? I have a bull's eye type graph that I can access that show me what wifi is available in my area and my house. Are you locked out, if so you need permission to gain access.





On my laptop I have a wireless set up under the Control Panel choice.

What is the spiritual ailment of this woman that I work with?

Last night I came into work and she was outside in the ZERO DEGREE FAHRENHEIT weather, SMOKING, even though she's already SICK with some kind of BRONCHITIS-TYPE ailment!





What is the classification of the spiritual ailment for someone in this condition?What is the spiritual ailment of this woman that I work with?
Spiritually, I believe that's called a ';nic-fit.';





I get that sometimes. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to put on three layers of clothing, a scarf, thick gloves, and two knit caps so I can step outside for 5 minutes. Flavor Country is calling.What is the spiritual ailment of this woman that I work with?
Well it's 17 here in sunny Connecticut so I think I'll just pop outside myself for a nice ciggy butt.
It is called nicotine addiction.

  • Will you be working over christmas this year?

    I know its a while away, but will you be working at all over the christmas period?Will you be working over christmas this year?
    Nope. One of the many perks of being a teacher.Will you be working over christmas this year?
    I don't work just now, at college full time and get loads of homework so my Dad says not to work, just concentrate on my studies so probably not! But I have worked Christmas and New Year before, I worked one Christmas morning and was up at 6am opening stuff from Santa (yes I still get presents from Santa! Even though I'm 21) and came home from work at 3pm and opened the rest! I didn't mind it, it's New year I hated working, I love Christmas but think it's tradition that us Scots LOVE the new year celebrations lol
    We're closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but I'll be working the other days around those two that week, probably 8-4, that's what I did last year. There are about ten of us on the whole floor [as opposed to the usual 60-some]. It's quiet, which I like, but also weird and lonely. We're working away. While everyone else is sleeping in :/
    i would of been working both christmas and new years, i dont have a job anymore so i am hoping to go and see my sister and her family who i have not seen for 2years, merry christmas x
    I won't be, because I am a substitute teacher so I have atleast 2 weeks off at Christmas time. Before my factory shut down, we never had to work on Christmas but there were times when we only got Christmas Eve and Christmas off and had no shut down.
    I'm not sure yet. I hope not, it will be my first christmas with my husband. But if I do have to, they better pay me time and a half for it.
    No this year. Just changed jobs this year and the office I work in is closed for two weeks. I used to work in retail and I only ever got Christmas day off. I even had to work New Years Day.
    we are only closed xmas day - so xmas day i will have off but not boxing day, christams eve nor non of new year -so yes i will be working, like i do now 7 days a week.
    Yes, at least up till Christmas eve and Christmas day, and the same for New Years.. By the way Merry Christmas and Happy New Year even though its early. Grant M in Pennsylvania
    No, I'm a teacher, so we will be on our Christmas break until after the 1st of January! Yay! Hopefully we will be going to Maui, HI.
    No, I'm a stay at home mum. I'll just be doing the shopping, the cooking, baking, wrapping, sending of presents and cards, and minding my son.
    No This year I am getting married over the Christmas holidays


















    yes.. I am a nurse so I have to work on christmas and new years eve this year. Thats one of the things i don't like about my job.... bummer.
    I won't be working on Christmas Day, the day before and after I'm not sure yet. I hope not because I want to go see my family who lives 7 hours away!
    No--I am in my graduate course at uni and plan nothing but fun and frolic. I might as well while I can.





    Work will eventually have me much more tied down.






    I will be.


    Christmas Eve, and Boxing day.


    How lame..
    My older sister will be working Christmas Day night.
    no...

    Looking to change my eye color to gray will this work with my skin color?

    ABSOLUTELY. I have seen many poeple with your complexion with gray contacts, it is attractive. You know what would look even better though is hazel/honey/ very light brownLooking to change my eye color to gray will this work with my skin color?
    if u get the right gray,yes.


    if you don't,try a chestbut brown color contact by accuvue.

    Can this work when it comes to marriage and making love?

    Can a marriage work if two married people have non-penetrative sex under age 25 constantly, if they don't ever in their life want children?





    Have you known any couples that worked this out? How about you?Can this work when it comes to marriage and making love?
    Well the answer is yes, it can work. If that is what they both agree to then it can work. Marriage isn't about sex - but it's fun.Can this work when it comes to marriage and making love?
    The whole purpose of getting married is to legalize the sex in man and in God's eyes. If you are not going to be having sex or making babies, then why are you getting married? You should be opening a taco stand or a hair salon together not getting married.
    Why not just use contraception? Duh!
    Excuse me sir, but what is ';non-penetrative sex';? Does this mean that you just enter, but don't break the hymen? You know, those little sperm are quite sturdy, and good swimmers. Like salmon swimming upstream, although many die, we still enjoy quite a few salmon steak from those that make it, exhaustedly, up the river. Some of those little sperm might be just as persistent, and get released with pre-orgasmic semen, and swim up that canal and find the little egg to fertilize.
    Why not im pretty sure theres no laws that says you have to insert your penis into your wife (or husband) and if you dont have kids your marriage its void.

    I want to work somewhere abroad this summer-any ideas?

    I am a college student and i want to make money this summer but I also want to travel someplace cool. Do you have any suggestions? It should be someplace like England, Scotland, Ireland, or one of those that speak English.I want to work somewhere abroad this summer-any ideas?
    Well, you cannot work in any foreign country without a work visa. The only way to get a work visa is to have a much needed skill and find an employer to sponsor you...that is not going to happen for a short term job. The U.S. is a huge country, so you could go to an area you have not been to before, or one of the territories. If work is really important, you may have to put the job first and location second...since jobs are going to be difficult to find.

    How do I work to fix this problem?

    There's a girl at my university who I want to talk to for the first time because I have a crush on her. However, it's been really difficult to find the right time because I just see her around a little bit and she's always with her friend and I'd rather introduce myself while she is alone. What do I do to work on timing and communication?How do I work to fix this problem?
    If she's always with her friend then I would go up to the both of them and introduce yourself and just chat with both of them. If the girl you have a crush on likes you, you will know it.Ask them where they go to have fun and about the courses they're taking. Just be friendly to both of them To the girl you have the crush on, you can say something like you really like her hair do or eyes or just anything to let her know you're interested. Just don't be all mushy.

    You should have typed more information into your question. The more info, the better.On starting windows explorer I get a message which says cannot start this program. On 2nd attempt it works.?
    I think your current installation of Windows is corrupt I would reinstall Window 2000 or XP is fine.On starting windows explorer I get a message which says cannot start this program. On 2nd attempt it works.?
    It could be to do with the Windows Registry. Best Bet would be to visit microsoft (microsnot) and download fresh updates etc. Or, you could reinstall Windows altogather. Its just a slight registry corruption, I think its to do with the other programs conficting with the windows settings. Nothing major and can be repaired. Just BACKUP your important software before reinstalling Windows!!! Good Luck.

    What does this mean regarding my work being registered with BMI?

    ';In the event that the registration information you submit does not properly indicate that a work is based on a public domain source, we reserve the right, if at any time such work is found to have a public domain source, to allocate to such work a percentage of the normal logging credit or, in the case of a work having little or no original material, to give no logging credit to such work.';





    Specifically the part about a public domain. What do they mean by ';public domain';?What does this mean regarding my work being registered with BMI?
    For example,


    if you wrote a tune and it turns out that tune is ';greensleaves'; for example, it is not copyright infringment, because it is not copyrighted, but you can't claim credit for it, as it's already out there, in the public domain.


    i.e if your work is NOT original, but does NOT infrindge copyright.





    However with any contract, get a legal person to look at it.

    HELP ME, I don't get how this manufacturing and Dsitributing works (read details)?

    Okay so like manufacturers make the stuff distributors get it from the manufacturers and then distribute it wholesale correct? THE THING I DON'T GET is like I know this friend of mine who owns a store and he gets his products from WESTERN FAMILY however western family doesn't manufacture they distribute. WHAT I don't GET IS IT SEEMS LIKE SOME BIG COMPANIES LIKE WAL-MART AND ALBERTSONS ARE ACTING AS THEIR OWN DISTRIBUTORS IS THAT RIGHT? In other words they get the products FROM THE MANUFACTURERS AND THEN STORE THEM IN THEIR WAREHOUSE I.E. The same thing western damily does only they take the products out of their warehouses is that correct?HELP ME, I don't get how this manufacturing and Dsitributing works (read details)?
    There are manufacturers who make the product. One way to sell their product is through distribution. Which obviously they do, who warehouses product and turns around and sells it to Retailers who then in turn sell it to the public. Places like Walmart have their own distribution centers so they save money by cutting out the middle man. It costs a lot of money to warehouse and market product, and distributors incur this cost, but they make their profits from the retailers who pay them. The distributor gets a good price because they buy in bulk. The retailer doesn't have to stock a lot of product on their shelves and have quicker turnover, thus giving them higher profit.HELP ME, I don't get how this manufacturing and Dsitributing works (read details)?
    manufactures make the stuff in bulk. They dont have the time or the money to market it. Wholesale ditributors purchase the material at a base cost and sell it to retail stores at a marked up cost. this benefits the store because they dont pay to store all the material they need. They use the dist. like their personal warehouse. some stores like walmart have enough money to own their own dist. center. their taking some of the cost they send to dist., and put it back in their pockets.
    You are correct. Big companies act as their own distributor to make more money.





    Years ago I worked for a big restaurant company. We acted as our own distributor. We would do things like buy seasonal stuff that could be frozen (like shrimp) a year ahead. The motive was we made 7% at the retail level and 7% more at the wholesale level.





    The trick is you have to be big enough to have your own trucks, warehouses, future buying capability, etc.

    Will this work in Magic: the Gathering?

    I play Threaten on an opponent's creature. He then plays Counterspell on it. If I then play Radiate on my Threaten, it will make the copies of Threaten because it resolves before I lose the original, right?





    Just want to see how powerful this combo is.Will this work in Magic: the Gathering?
    Yes, it will work. However, you will not be able to threaten the original creature you targeted.





    You cast Threaten targeting a creature. Your opponent plays Counterspell (or other counter) targeting your Threaten. In response, you play Radiate on your original Threaten.





    Radiate will resolve first because it is on top of the stack. When it resolves, it puts copies of Threaten equal to the number of other legal targets for Threaten on the stack. The order in which those copies are added are up to you and they will resolve in that order. Once those copies have resolved, the Counterspell will then resolve and will successfully counter the original Threaten.





    You will not get the creature you originally targeted, but you will take control of every other creature you could have legally have targeted with when you cast Threaten. Those creatures gain haste and you return them to your opponent at the end of turn.





    Better yet: Have a sacrifice outlet, such as Greater Gargadon. Sac all of your opponents creatures to Greater Gargadon.Will this work in Magic: the Gathering?
    Daivos states it perfectly. The only thing different is if you don't have the Gargadon, there is also Nantuko Husk, which pumps your creature, or then play a creature with devour to eat your opponents creatures, but under no circumstance should you not attack first with your opponents creatures. This is also a great combo in a multiplayer situation, but for all of this, it does require a lot of mana.

    Can someone work out this Parabola question?

    Determine the exact values of 'a' such that the function y = x^2 + 3ax +5 intersects the x axis at only one point. 10 points for the best answer^^





    please explain and show working out





    ty in advanceCan someone work out this Parabola question?
    y = x^2 + 3ax + 5





    Since the coefficient of the x^2 term %26gt; 0, then this parabola opens upward. Because it has two sides that extend upward, the only way this parabola can have only one x intercept is to make the vertex the x intercept.





    To calculate the x intercept, we make y = 0 for this equation.


    y = x^2 + 3ax + 5


    0 = x^2 + 3ax + 5


    The next step is to factor the right hand side. However, since we want to limit x to just one value, the factors must be equal. The only way to obtain equal factors is to complete the square on the right hand side. Since the last term is 5, the factors will include the square root of 5.


    0 = (x + 鈭?)(x + 鈭?)


    this limits x to just one value (-鈭?)


    next we multiply both factors


    0 = x^2 + (2鈭?)x + 5


    Unfortunately the coefficient of the middle term (2鈭?) does not match the coefficient of the middle term in the original equation above (3a). So we set up an equality equation using both of these middle terms, then solve for a.


    2鈭? = 3a


    a = 2鈭?/3 (exact value)


    a = 1.49 (rounded off value)

    Is this how the yacthing industry works??

    Usually, most yachts are privately owned and chartered out when the owners are not using them or the owners have a business of working full time on their yacht and chartering it out to guests.





    They submit their info to lots of Travel agencies, specializing in yacht charters. These travel agencies are where people who are interested in a yacht charter go to for the information, and the travel agency schedules them for the yacht charter.





    Is this right?Is this how the yacthing industry works??
    well, yeah...most yachts are privately owned but NOT chartered...boats that are chartered either have the owners doing the advertisements and bookings, and maybe the sailing as well; there may or may not be a paid crew aboard to do sailing and upkeep.





    lot of couples will charter their boats and advertise through ';yacht brokers';.............there are about 50 around the world that specialize in finding clients for charter boats and I would say 95% of the business goes thru yacht or charter brokers and NOT general purpose travel agents.......so google yacht brokers or charter brokers and see how many hits you get...the big players here in the Caribbean anre Nicholson Yacht Chartes, Bajor Yacht Charters and the VI Charter Yacht LeaugeIs this how the yacthing industry works??
    They list there yacht for hire with a yacht rental agent. No usually more than one. If they are not performing for you, get a new agent.
    In common - yes.

  • MEN: My husband works with this woman... do you think she's attractive?? (Picture!)?

    http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo206/mcc1908/105-1.jpg





    I caught him going to her website and staring at her pictures... Should I be concerned if she comes on to him??MEN: My husband works with this woman... do you think she's attractive?? (Picture!)?
    To answer your question: She looks like a Madonna wannabe from the 80's. Or Belinda Carlile. Thats what I see. I would be more concerned with your husband than with her.





    It's really not important if we think she is pretty, does he? Men don't cheat for looks, they cheat because some other woman is giving him something that he feels he isn't getting at home. This doesn't always mean sex. Is she always complimenting him? Does she show him attention? Is she doing things that you don't? Now, by no means am I blaming you, but, I'm just saying that most of the men I know, who cheat, don't do it because of another woman's looks, they do it because it strokes their ego.





    If he is the type of person who cheats, it is already in him to do so. You can't prevent it. Some men are just dogs. Plain and simple. I would want to know WHY is he looking at her photo? Its one thing to look at women you know they have no way in hell of ever meeting (like celebrities, or porn stars) but completely another to look at someone that they see everyday. The temptation can become just a little too great.





    I would swing by his work. Seriously. Make your presence known. If they are playfully flirting around, your presence might put a stop to it, and maybe he may be aware that you know something is up. Might stop him in his tracks. Maybe she doesn't know he's married. Maybe he is already having a relationship with her.





    Here, read this, its pretty good. http://love.ivillage.com/lnsproblems/lns鈥?/a>


    MEN: My husband works with this woman... do you think she's attractive?? (Picture!)?
    Hon, I know I'm not a man but she's a moose.


    Look at her lip-liner (80000 shades too dark) for God's sake! Sure, she may be willing to let her chest out for most of the world to see, but she's not exactly classy!


    If your husband were to go for her, then he really wouldn't be worth your time or your tears.





    Oh my God how can you be worried, she's posing with a kid for God's sake!


    http://s376.photobucket.com/albums/oo206鈥?/a>


    No guy really will go near a woman who has to look after a baby, hasn't had enough sleep for A LONG TIME and isn't at her best unless he really loves her and is the father of her child!
    Ugly? well I think people are trying to make you feel better. She is very pretty and I would be threatened. Putting sugar coating on something to make a person feel better is not the way to go! Look at the pic, she has long blonde hair, cleavage and seems flirty? If he's on her sites checking her out and he works with her all day....No wonder your suspicious.





    BUT~





    You know your husband more than anyone! Its your call were just here to give an opinion. People always say go with your gut feeling! Good Luck I hope it works out for the better ~
    Errm i wouldnt think its anything to be concerned about because based on her looks she doesnt look like anything special. Maybe you should just trust your husband...Im sure that was one of the reasons you married him in the first place. Otherwise, confront him ??
    She could be hiding some beady little alien eyes under those sunglasses. And yes you should be concerned if she comes onto him.....you should be concerned if any women be comin' onto your man. He's taken and is off limits to this or any h*e.
    Sorry I'm a female, but if your marriage is strong, and your husband loves you, and you don't give him a reason to stray, you'll be fine. Happy men, won't stray from home,



    Owe yes be concerned . Definitely kissable material . That's the kind of woman you want to kiss all over and over again
    Shes a pretty woman but how is she inside? Thats what I would be worried about. He might just fall in love with her inside spirit. Maybe keeping it on boundaries could keep your relationship exciting . Maybe you two could become friends.
    first question...to me..shes unattractive..., question #2..if you suspect anything, go on you gut. She's a woman..he's a man..anything is possible.
    Only if you like yellow hair...lol. Your husband is a jerk for looking at pictures of her, and by the way....I would be worried that he hasn't already started something with her if he were looking at her pics. Sorry
    Yea thats prob you or something. I will not go as far as saying she is seriously ugly, but I will say if you are not giving you husband any action he might be fantasizing about her if she hits on him at work...
    she is very attractive and she looks like a **** so you better watch out and don't be concerned that she comes on to him but be more concerned that he comes on to her cause she's hot!!!
    First off men have totally different rating system then women. Some men would call her a TEN. Others like me would have her fall on the highly doable list. Not my type but would love some drinks and an evening with her.
    after looking at photobucket picture id have to say yes HOWEVER


    this really depends on what you look like and how you treat him also


    so lets have a link to your photo for an honest answer
    Well I think you should trust your husband with whatever he does. But if you catch him doing something like looking at her pictures, whoop him or better tell him how you feel about this issue. =)
    I would be concerned. Not because of how she looks so much as him looking at her pictures.
    No. You have nothing to worry about though, even if she was attractive because all guys like to look at attractive women. However what he's doing is a little weird.
    Is she's attractive to me no.





    Should I be concerned if she comes on to him yes you Should
    shes pretty ugly lol im serious


    shes maybe been telling him how she has these sites blah blah and he went to go check it out


    maybe u should confront him and ask him





    beter out than in
    sweet lips and cleavage






    If he's just looking then no need to worry..But, iIf you catch him touching then start to worry.





    J
    yes keep your eye on this. let him know you will not take any crap from him or her. she looks good tell your old man to let her go and forget about her so i can get her
    I would say she is average. She does have quite the cleavage though. So maybe he is just a boob man.
    Surely not for the first question.And perhaps not for the second.
    Yes she is very pretty.


    Ide worry more about him coming on to her not vice versa. After all he was the one looking.
    Is she quite a voluptuous lady?


    I wouldn't say she is stunning, but same goes for saying she is un-attractive.
    She is attractive. Mainly she has big boobs - beware!!
    I THINK SHE IS UGLY....
    I hate blondes
    thats you! pshhh, way to boost your ego..
    shes pretty.if he is going to her web. then they are doing it.i bet you money.

    I thought it was just me; yesterday, I tried to log in and it said it was doing maintenance then, just now, I logged in and thought I'd start with something easy, voting, and it wouldn't let me vote.





    Now you see why some people call this place yaHELL. There's too many glitches.
    They had a message two days ago on the main page about unexpected downtime which they were working on. The voting is still wrong with all answers having 100% then none of them. The same with thumbs down and up.It often happens after maintenance Now I cannot post or use the forum either Hopefully they will fix it soon.
    It is happening to others as well and hopefully it will be fixed soon. One question in voting had 3 answers with 100% votes.

    Was Crest a last name in the time of the Civil War? And does it work with this name?

    Okay, I was wondering if Crest was a last name in the 1860s. Do you know? And I was also wondering if Rebecca May Crest sounded like a good name for a person who lived in Kentucky. Help please. Thanks!Was Crest a last name in the time of the Civil War? And does it work with this name?
    Currently, there are eight people with this name in KY and 300 nationwide in the USA. Research through various genealogy sites reveals that this was a valid and common name during the American Civil War (1861鈥?865) period.





    While I was unable to locate a namesake within the time period, I doubt that anyone who descended from a person of the same name is likely to have any claim against you for using the name.





    Additional general research was frustrated by the fact that ';crest'; can also mean ';coat of arms';.





    I say, go ahead and use the name.Was Crest a last name in the time of the Civil War? And does it work with this name?
    It was in use, but rare. I went to the LDS 1880 census


    http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/f鈥?/a>





    selected the US census, surname Crest, birth year 1835, year range +/- 10 and got 22 hits. You can repeat my search with any surname you want. If you pick a more common one, you can select a state. None of the Crests I found were in Kentucky.





    You could go the other way - use the given name Rebecca, leave the surname blank, choose state = Ky and county = whatever county you are in, choose the birth year to match your age* and see who was there.





    * That is, if you are 30, pick a birth year of (1863 - 30) = 1833, and use an age range of (+/-) 2.
    Not too many surnames have materialized out of thin air in the past 150 years so YES. Crest is fine. I mean, I don't like the name per-se but it's fine as far as time goes. Doing a little fiction writing are we?

  • Is this how APR works?

    Example I owe $310 my APR is %19.99 minimum payment is $10. I just pay the minimum so im at $300. So ill get charged around $5 interest by the time the next billing cycle comes around? If not how much and how do you calculate it. I always pay off my balance but interested in knowing how APR works.Is this how APR works?
    This is how to figure your APR interest rate.





    take your balance of $310.00 x 19.99% Divide that answer by 365 days and then x's that answer by 30(days in cycle) could be 28 0r 31. here is the problem worked out for you.





    310.00 x 19.99% =61.969 divided by 365 = 0.169778082 x30 (days in cycle) =5.0933 so your interest will be $5.09





    $310.00


    + 5.09 (interest)


    _________


    $315.09


    - 10.00 (payment)


    ________


    $305.09 This is your new balance after you make your minimum payment of $10.00





    Now for next month do the same thing but use $305.09.

    HOW TO ASK A GIRL ON A DATE





    It can be tough asking a girl out, but even tougher if you do it wrong. Asking for a date can be intimidating and most guys dread rejection; and consistently getting rejected is bad for your ego and your confidence. Starting small is the best way to ask for a date; it won't scare them off and won't hurt your confidence as much if you're rejected.


    When you do ask a girl for a date, do it in person. It's too easy to reject someone over the phone, and email or IM is a bad idea too. I will say there are a few exceptions; for example, if you met her online and haven't met her, but that's a completely different situation. This article is meant to deal with asking a girl that you know in person out.





    One thing you shouldn't say is:


    ';Would you like to go out with me?';


    It's too direct and makes it too easy for them to say ';No';.


    The formality of a ';date'; may also scare some people off. That's why you should go with a more relaxed approach -- instead of a formal ';date';, you start by asking them in a non threatening and non formal way.





    You also shouldn't walk up to a complete stranger and ask for a date; Some people may find this creepy or annoying.


    First, you have to get to know that person. You may already know them casually and talk to them. That's a huge first step (plus-- why would you ask a complete stranger out, knowing nothing about them?).


    Don't focus on rejection, either. If all you are thinking about is being rejected, you'll be nervous and it will show. Instead, tell yourself, ';I'm not asking for a date, I'm just setting up a time to hang out';.


    So if you know her a little and are comfortable enough to make small talk, it can still be awkward asking for a date. One thing you must not do is say ';Do you want to go out with me?'; or ';Do you want to go on a date?'; or ';Will you go with me?';. These phrases are too intimidating and aren't very original.


    A much better way to ask a girl for a date is something like:


    ';Hey, I'd like to get together and go do something with you sometime.';


    That makes it much harder for them to say, ';I can't, I'm busy';... because you haven't stated a specific time. You can judge by her reaction if she likes you; if she says ';Sure'; or ';ok'; or ';what do you have in mind';-- or anything else that sounds positive-- she's probably up for giving you a chance.





    If her response is more timid or negative, then she might not work out to be someone you'll want to date. It happens-- no matter how good you are at asking girls out, or how awesome you are, not every girl will date you, so don't take it personally.





    So if her response is positive, then your next move is to state a time and place. ';Great, I've been wanting to try out the new Greek restaurant sometime; want to go Wednesday?'; She'll either say ';sure';, or ';I can't make it then';-- if that's the case, ask her when will work. She's already said she wanted to do something with you sometime, so it's hard for her to reject you.


    Although I have to say for date ideas, going to dinner is not that original. If you're a good at making conversation, or you already know her and have hit it off and can talk for hours, then you're fine! A nice dinner can be a good start.


    But if you don't know her much, you both aren't that talkative, or you're worried you'll be nervous and not be able to hold a good conversation, then a restaurant date may not be the best idea.


    Instead, think of a more unique date idea; Beach combing? A walk in the park? Browsing shops downtown? Flying a kite? Horseback riding? Playing frisbee? Going to a museum? See our list of Free %26amp; Cheap Date Ideas, you might be able to take her on a fun free date!


    Food is good so you can pick food up on the way, or eat before or after the event; maybe visit a little fish-and-chips place on your way to the beach, or stop at a cafe after going to the museum.


    It all depends on what you are comfortable with, what's in your area, and what you think she'd enjoy. If she really likes you, she'll probably say ';yes'; to going out even if it's not her favorite thing to do!


    Another great way to get a date is to also start ';hanging out'; in a non-dating situation-- for example, invite her if you're going with a group of people.


    ';We're making a bonfire this weekend at the beach, you can join us if you want.';


    Inviting her to group activities makes it much less formal and date-like; but don't worry, you can work your way up to a date from there.


    Simply hanging out with her more and getting to know her will tell you if you really do want to date her, and it will make it much easier to ask to go with her someplace alone later.





    From a girl's perspective, if a guy walks up to me out of the blue and says, ';Want to go out?'; my automatic response is to say ';sorry, I can't';... or just plain ';No'; depending on how bold he was. If a guy asks nicely I'm nice, if he's overly confident and rude

    Is this how Proactiv works?

    I spent $72.00 on Proactiv last Thursday night and I washed my face Thursday night, Friday morning %26amp; night and Saturday night and Sunday night too. My face has broken out and it says almost every 7 weeks you break out. But mines just been a couple of days, what does this mean?Is this how Proactiv works?
    your skin is just flushing out all of the ';bad stuff';... it may take several weeks before your skin completely clears up.





    i had pretty bad acne and i had tried everything... creams, face washes, pills, birth control... one day 6 months ago i just got fed up and decided to order some proactiv. i had heard some success stories from people i knew, plus those infomercials on tv really hook you. it has been the best thing i have done for my skin.





    i find that a combination of proactiv and zapzyt (benzoyl peroxide cream 10%) works best for me. the proactiv took forever to start working (2 months). it didn't clear everything. so i added in using the zapzyt after the toner and before the lotion, and my skin has improved SO much. i still get pimples every now and then, but not nearly as much or as severe as i used to. i actually don't really mind the pimples i do get now, realizing that they are nothing compared to what i had.





    looking back at pictures from 6 months ago, i can't believe how bad my skin was and how much it has improved! proactiv works the best for me. even though it's so expensive, i don't mind the price, because it's the only thing that HELPS. it won't work for everyone, and you may find that your skin gets worse before it gets better, but it's definitely worth a shot.





    PROACTIV is totally worth it (from my experience.)





    good luck!Is this how Proactiv works?
    It usually takes a while for anything to work!! First it is suppose to bring the bacteria and dirt to the surface and then it starts working!! I did not have any luck with Proactiv, but i am currently using Acnefree 3-step treatment and after the 1st week my face was clear. It is not expensive either, like $20. You can get it at Wal-mart, Target, Drugstore, so you do not have to pay shipping and handling or have to wait for it to be delivered!! I would get my money back and try something new. Good luck!!
    I had a similar experience, it does not sit well with some people's skin. I switched to natural threatment clearpores and it has done well for me.
    When you're first trying a new product, your skin is going to take a while to get used to it. I have been using ProActive for years, and it has done wonders. Keep using it, twice a day. You WILL see results. Also, make sure that you are using the ';Repairing Lotion.'; A lot of people think that moisturizer is too oily, but when you deprive your skin of it, your break outs can get worse. Keep using it and you WILL see results! Also, make sure you're not popping pimples or blackheads...this will make your acne worse!
    Could get worse before it gets better. I have proactiv but it did't do that to me. Works on everyone differently. I don't remember hearing that every 7 weeks you break out though, that doesn't make sense

    PS2 Games on a PS3 can I upgrade a 40gb to make this work?

    Can I upgrade the hard drive on a 40gb PS3 to a 60 or and 80, and will this let me play PS2 games on it?





    Thanks in advancePS2 Games on a PS3 can I upgrade a 40gb to make this work?
    no, there is no way to make any PS3 other than the very original model play ps2 games.





    It is a POSSIBILITY (read - unlikely to happen) that sony can release a firmware update to allow the 40 and 80gb machines to play ps2 games, but nothing we can do.





    just buy a cheap ps2 if you need itPS2 Games on a PS3 can I upgrade a 40gb to make this work?
    There is no upgrade to make a PS3 backwards compatible with PS2 if it didn't come that way. The only PS3s with PS2 backwards compatibility are the original 20GB and 60GB models and the 80GB model that was bundled with MGS4.





    However there were rumors floating around that Sony would someday release a PS2 emulator for download on the PS3 but this has never been confirmed.
    No what you need is a chip inside of the ps3 my advice go to eb games or something and buy a PS2 then tape it to your Ps3 and now you have a PS5
    Ps3 is annoying amigo,i always bought ps until i discovered xbox360,i wouldn't go back to ps.
    The hard drive will only change the storage size .. thats all

    I'm working in china. How can I deal with chinese people to stay long working into this country??

    They are very tricky in nature. How to cope up with this attitude??I'm working in china. How can I deal with chinese people to stay long working into this country??
    The first thing I would recommend is making a Chinese friend. There is nothing better than getting a little help from a local. I would recommend trying to find a college student if at all possible. This is mainly because their English tends to be the best and they usually are more open to meeting new people and eager to help.





    My second recommendation is to stay away from small shops and restaurants. The smaller businesses tend to sell based on a bargaining system. If you can't speak fluent Chinese, or don't have a Chinese friend, you pretty much don't stand a chance in negotiating a good price. Stick to larger restaurants and department stores that have set prices. This way you'll never get charged anymore than anyone else.





    The third recommendation I have is that if you plan on staying in China for awhile, that you try and learn the language. Once you learn Chinese you can start to understand how they think. This is priceless. I don't know how many times I got special treatment just for saying a few kind words in their native language. They view it as a huge sign of respect.





    Hope this helps. Good luck with it all!I'm working in china. How can I deal with chinese people to stay long working into this country??
    Do lots of research particularly their history and culture..I mean alot...They are not tricky but its just everything they do surely with motives. They won't do anything for free..Remember that..No such things as close-knitted friends/buddies or brothers..
    Be honest but always stay alert. Say ';no'; whenever you think it is right to say so. Talk to your Chinese co-workers after work and see how they view things, try to understand their thinkings and share with them what you think it is better to do things together with (be patient, ask yourself - why you want to be in this country and stay longer? - if you want to stay longer and be happier - then - you have to find the ways to make things work! - this is the attitude that you should have when you are working in China!).





    Check every detail and go through with your Chinese sub-ordinates to make sure things are alright and show them how you deal with things ';properly';.





    Mutual respect is mostly needed when you work with people from different cutures.





    Welcome and I wish you good luck.
    Be alert, don't tell them your personal secrets. If there is a question that is suspicious, then respectfully decline an answer. Respect is the key but always be alert.





    Yes, you are right, chinese people are tricky. Alot of them will not do stuffs for free.
    Excellent question. Some suggestions:





    - make sure your actions will abide by any laws or regulations applicable to that area. For example - planning laws, accounting requirements for companies. Don't listen to what other people tell you - do the research - and this applies for all things which you are concerned about, not just laws.


    - guanxi (connections) is something constantly emphasised as important. However, I would suggest, before someone tells you they have the right connections, first think if you do need those connections? What is the offeror requiring in return?


    - find a local person who can give you general hints and tips about the area - they may be a better connection to the whole area than anyone else
    Remember this phrase ';Chinese logic verses Western logic'; when things like last minute schedule changes, apartment maintenance issues (amazing how they can turn changing a fuse into a months long ordeal requiring the assistance of five different people to fix it), shopping, and such come up. What makes sense to us for some reason doesn't always get through to them.





    Try to learn patience, but also find an outlet for your gripes. Meeting with other foreigners on a regular basis for a b#tch fest can be quite cathartic. We have a regular weekly gathering for this in my city. Technically it's not for this purpose, but we always ending up talking about the things that make us crazy while living here.





    Look at each day as an adventure. Crossing the street in my city is like playing ';Frogger.'; So far I've ';won'; everytime, although I have had taxis run over the very front of my shoes twice, but no damage done.





    Remember that Chinese people talk around things. They don't like to flat-out say ';no.'; This might be part of their perceived trickiness, but they don't like to make foreigners unhappy so they take forever to get to saying something is not possible.





    Participate in a physical activity. I found going dancing helps me get rid of pent up frustrations and I've met a lot of new friends this way. I know the universities in my area often let foreigners join their open sports activities, if that's more your style.





    Don't be surprised at being the F.O.D. (Foreigner On Display). It's common for your school/company to show you off as a foreigner working for them. Look at it like it's an acting job. Be polite, smile when called upon, and get out as soon as time permits. Have someone call you at a certain time if you think the event will drag on so you can say your friend is waiting for you and you have to go.





    Guanxi (exchange of favors) is China's corruption backbone. It's damn near everywhere. True Chinese friends will expect nothing in return for gifts, but beware of accepting things from people you don't know as they will probably expect you to help them in a much more expansive way later.





    It IS possible to find true Chinese friends. I have many Chinese friends who give so much to me, but want nothing more than my friendship in return. These are not F.O.D. situations. In those situations you almost always hear, ';This is my good foreign/American friend. They work at ........';





    Learn some Chinese so you can make small talk with street vendors and small shop owners. Once they know you they will be more inclined to give you discounts and preferrential service. Also, you'll want to be able to bargain with vendors. Most vendors appreciate it if you can haggle well and will give you a cheaper price in the end. If they don't come down on the price don't go back to them. If they give you good prices take your foreign friends to them and they will sometimes give you a super cheap price or throw in free things in appreciation of your bringing your friends there.

  • Year 7 Geometry question: How to I work this out?

    What is the size of the angle between the hour hand and the minute


    hand at:





    a 6:00 am? b 3:00 am? etc.





    Because I know the full rotation of the clock is 360 degrees, but do you need to divide 360 by 12 or something? I'm a little bit stuck. Thanks...Year 7 Geometry question: How to I work this out?
    At 6am, both hands formed a straight line splitting the clock face into half. Hence, half of 360degrees is 180degrees.





    Similarly at 3am, the hands form a shape that is 1/4 of the clock face. Therefore, 360degress divide by 4 is 90degrees.





    Unless the question asked for 1am 2am 4am 5am 7am 8am 10am 11am, then you would have to calculate by dividing by 12parts. Year 7 Geometry question: How to I work this out?
    A.) if the big hand is at the top of the clock and the little hand is on the 6 its makes a straight line and makes 180 degrees





    B.) the 3 is in the middle of 12 and the 6 then you halve 180 by 2 and theres your answer (90!!!)
    a 180 b 90





    You divide by 12 then times it by the hours

    How do i work out this physics question which is. A stone is dropped from a height of 52m above the ground?

    A stone is dropped from a height of 52.0m above the ground


    a) how long does it take to reach the ground?


    b) what is its velocity just before it hits the ground?


    c) how far does it fall in the last second of its motion?


    Please answer them and show working :) and i will give you 10 points!!!How do i work out this physics question which is. A stone is dropped from a height of 52m above the ground?
    Ok here goes..


    s=52...(displacement)


    s=ut+1/2gt^2...since it is acting under the effect of gravity..a=g..


    since it is 'dropped'..it has no initial velocity..so u=0..


    so 52=0+1/2(9.8)t^2..


    52=4.9t^2...


    t=sqrt(52/4.9)...


    v=u+at...v=u+gt


    u=0,


    so v=gt...substitute the value for t and g





    in this case we assume that the stone comes down with an intial velocity and its final velocity becomes 0 on reaching the ground...


    so v=0..u=v of the previous case..wat u calculated to be gt..


    v^2=u^2+2gs...v=0,


    u^2=-2gs...to find u substitute values for g and s..(use -9.8 for g)





    ok u found t in the first case....


    substitute that value in the eqn s=ut+1/2gt^2...substitute 0 for u and find s using the known values of g and t...Hope i helped..How do i work out this physics question which is. A stone is dropped from a height of 52m above the ground?
    s=52m


    g=9.8m/s2





    s=g*t*t/2 as initial v=0


    so t=3.26





    v*v=2gs


    v=31.92





    s2-s1=52-g*(t-1)*(t-1)/2


    s2-s1=26.98
    I'll help, but promise a best answer.

    How do i make this work??

    I am trying to play games on MSN games and it says that my Active x is prohibited. How do i make it work? There should be a yellow tage that automatically overrides it but even that wont pop up. What should I do?How do i make this work??
    Same problem with me. But go on other game sites; ActiveX can be used to hack into your pc. If ActiveX is prohibited at least you know you are safe from ActiveX attacks.How do i make this work??
    there should be a yellow bar ono top of our screen and u should clik it to make it work.
    Click that yellow tag, then install activeX control.





    You may clear that problem now!
    You should be able to temporarily allow popups from your web browser. Usually what happens with mine, is theres a tab that comes down and I right click on it and click on temporarily allow popups, then it should go. Otherwise if I remember correctly if you are using windows internet explorer (I do not use that anymore), there is a button on the tool bar that allows you to change your popup settings. It would be by the one that lets you set your spam settings, cookies and what not. Its been a while since I used that, so I could be wrong, but go ahead and look for those buttons, if you don'e see them, look under the tools scroll bar.
    It may be disabled by your administrator if you are at work. If that is the case, you can do nothing about it. Security is applied via group policy (one policy for all ';basic'; users).








    Good Luck ...
    Usually it will give you a bar at the top of the screen that offers the proper Active x control . Just click on the bar and it will install it
    Fire up your internet explorer .. Then from there click on Tools-%26gt;Internet Options ... Click on Privacy tab and there, to your left there is slider, just get it down .. as Low or something








    Now your ActiveX will work





    If that doesn't work .. try this





    Tools-%26gt;Internet options .. Then click on advanced tab(last one) At the bottom click on ';RESTORE DEFAULTS';





    Apply .. say ok





    Exit your Browser and then restart it again .. everything will be fine
    download a new active x version from www.microsoft.com
    Go here

    Then you subtract 4 (the opposite of what it is now) to both sides, which leaves t = -15-4 or t = -19How do I work this out? t-(-4)=-15?
    the negatives cancle themselves out. so it would become T+4=-15...and from there you need to subtract 4 from each side .......


    T+4=-15


    T-4=-4


    T= -19 is your answer





    :]
    r u trying to find what the variable t is?? because t would be -19
    wrong section but ill help you








    t-(-4)=-15


    t+4=-15 since your subtracting a negative number you have to


    make it positive


    t=-19 then you would subtract 4 from both sides which gets you the answer

    How would I show my work for this problem: 2/3x+4+-6?

    THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11How would I show my work for this problem: 2/3x+4+-6?
    Important to use brackets :-


    Question is unclear but will assume it should read as :-


    (2/3) x + 4 = - 6


    (2/3) x = - 10


    x = - 30 / 2


    x = - 15How would I show my work for this problem: 2/3x+4+-6?
    Thank you for your vote. Report Abuse

    -2-3x
    Another thing you would want to address is the potential ambiguity of the first term:





    Is it 2/(3x) or (2/3)x which would be better written (2x)/3 or


    2x/3





    The way you have it written suggests 3x is the denominator of the first term.
    you would end up with this





    2/3x - 2





    that's as far as you can go





    there is no other x value and 4 -6 = -2

    The pump 4 my screen wash on my 03Citroen picasso works when it wants,had this problem since i got it,.help?

    Could either be the washer pump itself, the switch or dodgy wiring. Can you hear the pump operating when no water is appearing? If you can reach it, remove the electric plug from the pump and get someone to operate the switch, take a test lamp and probe the terminals, if there is current there its the pump, if not, most likely the switch, if neither of the two hopefully its a brocken wire cause you dont want it to be a fault in the fuseboards!!The pump 4 my screen wash on my 03Citroen picasso works when it wants,had this problem since i got it,.help?
    Typical french take it to a decent garage ask them to sort it. this will save you paying a dealership their hourly expensive rate. In a decent garage you will get maybe 2hr diagnostic time for the price of 1hr at a dealership. Sounds like a loose connector plug tho.

    X has increased by 10% to 拢165, what was X before the increase? How do I work this out?

    拢165 = 100% + 10%= 110%





    x = (165 x 100) / 110 = 16,500/110 = 拢150X has increased by 10% to 拢165, what was X before the increase? How do I work this out?
    10% of 拢165 = 拢16.50


    拢165 - 拢16.50 =拢148.50





    x = 拢148.50X has increased by 10% to 拢165, what was X before the increase? How do I work this out?
    minus 10% (16.50)
    Look at it this way:





    110% of X is 拢165, so





    10% of X is 拢165/11, so





    10% 0f X is 拢15, so





    100% 0f X is 拢150.





    Hope this helps, Twiggy.
    its 150 but I don't know how to work it out
    10% = 0.1 (Divide by 100)


    1 + 0.1 = 1.1


    So to increase something by 10% you multiply by 1.1


    But we don't want to increase by 10%, we want to find the amount *before* a 10% increase, which means we *divide* by 1.1.


    165/1.1 = 150


    So the answer is 拢150
    X + (10/100)X = 165


    1.1 X = 165


    X = 165 / 1.1


    X = 拢150
    well that would mean that x is now 110% which is 拢165 so to find out the original price which would be 100% you need to find 1% of 165.





    1%= 拢165/110 = 拢1.50





    Then you need to find 100%





    100% = 拢1.50 x 100 = 拢150





    so the original price was 拢100.
    this is compund interest





    becuase it has increads by 10%, you have to take away 10% to get the original answer





    +10% = 0.10 therefore





    so 100% = 1





    (+10%) = 1.1





    so to work out the price before you do





    165/1.1 = 150





    (you can check this by doing 150.00 + 拢15.00 )
    165 is 110%,





    so 100% is 165*100/110
    This is really saying X + .1X = 165, or 1.1X = 165, and X = 165/1.1 = 150.
    Divide 165 by 110 then multiply the result by 100. I don't have a calc to hand and I can't do it in my head, but if you have access to a calculator that is the calculatiuon you need to do, trust me.

    Sensitive/ Oversensitive? How do you work with this?

    I feel sick and clutched in the stomach when chaotic music is played in films and when people I meet give off a certain nervous energy. There are many many triggers for me to feel faint or sick.


    I have to look away from beauty sometimes to avoid physical overreaction.





    Has anyone ever found a cure?





    Do you want to desensitise?





    Do you like how you are?





    What would you like to change? Sensitive/ Oversensitive? How do you work with this?
    Hello,





    (ANS) I'm a double Pisces and was born highly sensitive, highly intuitive %26amp; highly empathic. I've always been extremely psychic and often can see things in people that they themselves are completely un-ware of.





    **YES! I can sympathize with how you feel and unless you are sensitive psychically yourself it's hard to fully understand this, nor to appreciate that it might feel like a problem, or a burden. I certainly have found my psychic nature to be a burden in the past but now I have come to more of a position of self acceptance that I am who I am and that this is my nature for better or worse.





    No.1 If your highly sensitive or empathic its NOT a disease that can be cured by any conventional means.





    No.2 NO!! NO!! to de-sensitize yourself is to reject your own talents, qualities as a person, your natural gifts. To de-sensitize yourself is to repress (push away) your own nature and that would be very very sad indeed.





    No.3 YES! I have to come learn to love myself slowly over time, %26amp; learn that my nature gives me gifts %26amp; a talent that not many other people have and that I need to value that even if I choose not to actively use my psychic abilities directly.





    No.4 I would change 100% NOTHING!! The only advise I can offer you is to a) Love yourself and b) accept yourself just the way you are c) You do have a choice, you can accept your nature or reject it. But acceptance I have found leads to a place of better quality of well being, possibly happiness to at times.





    Hope that makes sense to you %26amp; speaks to you?





    Kindest Regards to you from IvanSensitive/ Oversensitive? How do you work with this?
    My bloke is oversensitive and it gets on my ****.
    nothing to change just love it

  • Someone told me that u can get a refund for the miles u commute every day back & forth to work, is this true?

    I commute 49.5 miles to work and the same back five days a week. I heard some rumor that if you are not covered by work related expenses (yeah, like they'd pay my gas bill) that you can claim it on your taxes and get a partial refund. Does anyone know if this is true or not cause I would LOVE to know and the internet hasnt helped me and I hate looking at anything that has to do with math hehe!Someone told me that u can get a refund for the miles u commute every day back %26amp; forth to work, is this true?
    According to the IRS web site, you can't claim miles for travel TO work, but you can claim miles you travel while doing work. For instance, if your employer asks you to deliver something for the business to another vendor, you can log your miles and get reimbursed / tax credit for them.





    Commuting to work, however, isn't covered.Someone told me that u can get a refund for the miles u commute every day back %26amp; forth to work, is this true?
    I travel 60% of the time in my job and:


    IRS Commute over 50 miles may be deductible at $0.445 per mile (2006 Rate) if you meet ALL criteria.


    If you are away from home and staying in a motel for assignmnent you can deduct the mileage, even though you are on Per Diem.


    Again you must meet ALL criteria.


    In your case it sounds like an old Urban Myth I have heard for years rising from the scenarios above.


    You have the IRS website in previous answer.

    Is this how love works?

    I was just wondering....When two people get together is it because they both feel the same love for each other? Or is it because one or both figure that it couldn't hurt to start a relationship? Do people date to allow someone to grown on them? Do most people end up marrying others that weren't what they thought were ideal for them only to find that they have


    been swept off their feet? Hope I worded that correctly...Thanks!Is this how love works?
    Good Day Ahy !


    I noticed that you asked several questions there.


    Maybe I can help with one or two.


    First, no two people feel exactly the same thing for each other. I think we are attracted to people for what they bring to our lives. Wouldn't you agree?


    For example, I may be feeling very down whereas I would be attracted to someone who can bring me up.


    If I am feeling energetic, I would be attractive to someone who is active.


    If I am feeling alone and bored, I might be attracted to someone who seems to have a lot of fun.


    If I am feeling confused, I might look to someone who seems to know exactly where they are going and how to get there.


    I believe that people come into our lives to forfill a need within us or visa versa. Some needs are long term some are not. This is why, in part, relationships don't always last. For me, there have been periods in my life where I have felt very weak and have sought out those who I can draw from in one way or another. But I am also generally very independant so once I become stronger, these relationships have failed because the other person that I had been leaning on, no longer felt I needed them... and I didn't ... at least not for the same reason. The relationships built on need often fails because they are truly not the ultimate fit on the long term.


    I think some people panic and just get married to the first person who appears 'good enough'.


    The 'oh, he'll/she'll grow on you' attitude may exist but more often in arranged marriages where people don't have much of a choice. I don't know anyone who married someone they didn't at least think they loved.


    Anyway, I hope that helps.


    Take care.Is this how love works?
    love cant be forced, love is a feeling that comes naturally like breathing...u cant love someone that u really dont, if u will try, u are in for a big dissapointment and will end up either hurting someone or hurting yourself...
    Love is a tricky thing and I don't believe that you can find it by looking for it. All of the people I know fell in love with someone they didn't expect and weren't even wanting a partner. It just happens and that is the way it should be.
    there are a lot of reasons ppl get into realationships some do it because the feel alome others becuz they believe it iis love sumtimes its to use ppl there are a billion and one reasons to why a person getts into a realationship but the best thing is to make sure u know u want to be in that realtionship
    Sometimes people just know. And others love just has to grow.
    Love truly works by two people first being best friends and then falling in love.





    All of the other methods of gaining love can work, but are often much less successful. Love gained by allowing someone to grow on you often leads to feeling like you have settled. Love based upon saying we're hear together so let's fall in love, often leads to two people who are far too different to enjoy each other's company for long.





    The last question that you posed is often true. Most people are looking for the wrong type of person. When they finally find the right person, that person is not what they were looking for. Usually people find the right person when they are not looking.





    We usually look for someone like our opposite sex parent. A man looks for a woman much like his mother and vice versa. Unfortunately, that is often not the right person to have a relationship with, but it was our primary role model of the opposite sex.





    Take care,


    Troy
    the correct answer is...all of the above.
    When two people get together its because they both like each other, enjoy each others company and are attracted to each other. I would hope that it wasn't something like,'; Sure, we're both alone, why not give it a try and see what happens?';. What a waste of time. You're never going to know until it happens to you. Sometimes, you meet someone not even thinking that it will turn out be anything, thinking that you're only friends, the next thing you know, you share common interests and a spark ignites. Just go with the flow man, be yourself, be relaxed and keep reminding yourself about the positive attributes about your personality.


    I hate to sound like a broken record, but it will happen when it's supposed to.
    It can take some time to fall in love, not just be really attracted to someone. How can anyone know if they both feel the same love? Share goals and dreams and interests. Have similar values and manners and tastes. That gives a relationship a good start.
    It is different for all of us but yet the same.
    Well there has to be some sort of initial and mutual attraction, whether is physical, or mental, for a couple to get together. Some people may get together because they want a relationship and they think ';hey why not';, but that doesn't seem to be the best way. Date first, get to know the person, see what you like and dislike about them and if you can live with that and see a future together. You also have to have common goals together, like marriage or kids, or you will never have a long lasting relationship.

    You need to convert the DVD movie to WMV supported by Windows Media Player, I recommend you Aiseesoft DVD Ripper.





    It could easily rip DVD to MP4, H.264, AVI, MP3, WMV, WMA, FLV, MKV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, 3GP, 3GPP, VOB, DivX, Mov, RM, RMVB, M4A, AAC, WAV, etc. with super fast DVD ripping speed and excellent image and sound quality.





    It also can edit the DVD movies, such as trim a video clip, crop the movie, merge several titles or chapters into one file and so on.





    Hope can help you!

    Do I need to use a desktop PC as a wireless hub for networked computers, or could a laptop work for this?

    I am currently using a desktop pc with a wireless card as a ';hub'; for my kids' laptops. The desktop is on its last legs and needs to be ';retired';. Would I have to replace it with another desktop, or could another laptop do the job? I am thinking it would have to be a desktop, so I would have one computer always connected to the modem... Thanks for any advice! :-)Do I need to use a desktop PC as a wireless hub for networked computers, or could a laptop work for this?
    I know it's expensive, but you could buy a wireless modem/router. It would turn out to be good value, especially if you have several laptops in the house. If you choose to get another desktop pc further down the track, you could plug it into that device as well and it would still work fine.Do I need to use a desktop PC as a wireless hub for networked computers, or could a laptop work for this?
    A laptop would work but it would have to be in one place, attached to the modem.

How many people should sign the petition? Will it work? What must I do?What can I do to get the government to pass this law? Do petitions work?
    Make sure that you include a provision that they can charge the parents the extra costs involved.What can I do to get the government to pass this law? Do petitions work?
    Get lots of signatures. It will fail because it is a stupid idea. It would apply to all schools, including the one room school house that has no special ed students. There is already plenty of law requiring every school district to provide a ';Free Appropriate Public Education'; for every student with special needs. If the school offers something other than what you consider to be ';appropriate'; for the needs of a child, you can have a judge decide it. The other problem is that special educational needs are different for every child. It may range from nothing more than making sure the child with hearing aids sits near the teacher, to a full-time-one-on-one physical aid. Your proposal would make every school offer every possible kind of services to every child, whether they need it or not. Think your taxes are high now? Multiply them by ten.

    How do i work this function?

    i'm supposed to find the domain, f(x) = 1/ square root of x-3How do i work this function?
    If x = 3, x - 3 becomes zero and 1/0 is not defined. Therefore x = 3 is not included in the domain of the function.


    again if x is less than 3, x - 3 becomes negative and sqrt(x-3) does not have real values as the sqrt of a negative quantity is imaginary and not real. Therefore x cannot have values less than three.





    Now x cannot be equal to 3 and cannot have values less than three.


    therefore x should be greater than 3


    The domain therefore, is [3 to +infinity)


    Note that the solution set is open on the left. It means the set does not include 3.How do i work this function?
    I'm guessing that this is a 'pre-calculus' or lower division course and the domain of f is a subset of the reals.





    Find all of the points in the real numbers which, when plugged in for x, yield a defined answer.





    HINT #1: If the denominator of a fraction is 0, the value of the fraction is undefined.





    HINT #2: Negative numbers have no square roots in the real numbers.





    Have fun.





    Doug
    The domain is just all the x values that you could plug into x and still be okay, for instance you could not plug in any x values that are less than or equal to three because you would either get a zero in the denominator (x=3) which is a no no or a negative square root which produce imaginary numbers so the domain must be x%26gt;3.
    The domain is all values that keep the denominator positive. x%26gt;3 is the domain. x=3 is not part of the domain because the denominator can't be zero. x%26lt;3 is not part of the domain because you can't take the square root of a negative number.
    If you plug in a value and f(x) is not undefined, the value is on the domain. The only time this equation is undefined is when x = 3. So the domain is x=/=3.

    Long distance relationship: Can this work out?

    I am a senior in high school and I met this girl over the summer (also a senior) that lives about 45 minutes away. We said when school began we would try to see each other, but we were both in cross-country and we were too busy to really be together. We still talk a lot, text just about daily and call about once a week. I still really like her but we're not really ';in a relationship'; right now. We're gonna try to do stuff with the season over and break coming up, but with us most likely going to different colleges next year I don't know how to handle this. Any advise?Long distance relationship: Can this work out?
    I suggest you don't get into a real relationship but make sure that you always continue to talk to her. This will allow her to gain trust in you and become great friends with each other. After college, hopefully you guys will still be friends and maybe try and get together then. Long distance relationships suck. Believe me. I was just in one and my ex dumped me for another guy; worst of all, she did it over aim. I say you keep her as a close friend and over time become more intimate. If you guys get together now, you'll end up heartbroken.





    Good LuckLong distance relationship: Can this work out?
    i just got out of a long distance relationship me and my bf were together for a year we were planning on gettin marry but 3 months ago i moved like about 11 hours(by plane) away i mean i moved to a different country and we were talkin on skype everyday and on aim but it just wasn't it trust me dont get into that **** lol its really hard and eventually it wont work sorry
    I've been there done that! It doesn't work out. At least not for me or anyone else i know. If you really love each other then you could hook up when school is over! That's what we did! Just wait it out and everything will fall into place, its just too hard to try and make a long distance relationship work.
    It will be difficult to stay close living so far from each other. You two will be meeting people in school as well. That's not to say you can't stay in contact and keep your friendship but I don't think anything serious can develop.
    It can work. Dude when I was younger I had a boyfriend that lived in Penn and I live in NH. soo yeah!
    listen, i have great advise i was with a girl from oregon and i am from NJ and it all worked out. all you have to do is always stay in touch!


    try to get a computer with a video caerma and buy her one to over break. then every day you can talk and see each other until you see each other in PERSON. this is a great way to stay in touch and be sure that their enviroment is safe enough to be in a ';relationship';. itll all work dude. just have hope! :) if you really like her then you would take that drive of only 45 min to see her at leaast once a week.

    How do I work this titrate question?

    Calculate the molarity of a oxalic acid solution, C2O4H2, if 50.00 mL of the oxalic acid solution is titrated with 42.12 mL of 0.09846 M KOH. Report your answer to the correct number of significant figures!





    C2O4H2 (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) --%26gt; K2C2O4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)How do I work this titrate question?
    C2O4H2 (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) --%26gt; K2C2O4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)





    from the equation u can c that for every 1 mole of oxalic acid u need 2 moles of KOH.


    1000ml of KOH contains 0.09846


    so 42.12 ml will contain 0.09846 *42.12/1000= X


    X/2 is the no. of moles in 50ml of oxalic acid.


    so X*1000/(50*2)


    =10X.


    so 10X is the molarity of the oxalic acid.


    abt the significat no. i dont remember the rules. so u better look it up sum book or the net.How do I work this titrate question?

    Did I get it right?Could you please check my work on this math problem?
    PerfectCould you please check my work on this math problem?
    looks good


    if you got back and sub in for your answers you end up being right. Its the best way to check yourself
    You did them right. Your teacher may want you to show the steps of your work...





    3x+1%26gt;-= -2


    3x %26gt;= -2 -(1)


    This is because you are taking 1 from each side of the equation, to get the x's all on one side and the numbers all on the other.





    3x%26gt;=-3


    x%26gt;=-1 (dividing both sides by 3)





    2x+3%26gt;=5


    2x%26gt;=2


    (again, because you take 3 from each side of equation)





    x%26gt;=1 (divide both sides by 2)





    Great job!!!
    get the value of x by like this


    3x+1=-2


    3x=-2+(-1) ( the change of sign rule)


    3x=-3


    3x=-3


    x=-1


    then transfer the value of x


    3(-1)+1=-2


    -3+1=-2


    -2=-2 ( then the answer is it is equal)





    then the next step get the value to x


    2x+3=5


    2x=5-3


    2x=2


    x=1





    then transpose


    2(1)+3 = 5


    2+3 = 5


    5=5





    Then the answer is correct!!! by doing this you will be sure!!!
    Seems right to me.
    yep..i think you got it right! good job, keep it up.
    excellent! yep..yep..
    yup! it is correct
    You solved each correctly, but if you are doing this as a compound inequality, then you need to give a final answer of combining the ';or'; statements into one. x %26gt;=-1 or x%26gt;= 1 combines as x %26gt;= -1

  • If a person has a job in this country is working on a green card, would it cause problems if he changes jobs?

    South African in this country since teens years, now working full time. Wants to change jobs, but is being told that it could endanger his green card/citizen ship status.If a person has a job in this country is working on a green card, would it cause problems if he changes jobs?
    No. The green card does not apply to one specific job. As long as he is in the country legally and this is documented (any legitimate employee will insure all the legal paperwork is in order) he's free to do as he wishes. I know this for a fact because my wife is in the process of becoming a citizen. She is working right now and has her green card.If a person has a job in this country is working on a green card, would it cause problems if he changes jobs?
    Not true because you are in the US legally : )
    No, a green card means that they are permanent residents. Which means that they hold all rights citizens do except for the right to vote. They can join the military, go to school, buy a house. They are here legally and are paying taxes.
    Is it a green card you have? Having a green card is almost the same as being a citizen, about the only thing you can't do is vote.
    I think that you will jeapordize your green card status if you change jobs.
    If you have a green card, then you should be able to change jobs, with no problem. A green card gives you the right to live here in the US and work, it doesn't say for which company though.


    If you are still in doubt though, call an immigration lawyer and ask.
    do not change jobs until you get your greencard. Make sure your lawyer is following up on your paperwork. If you change jobs you have to get your new employer to redo all the paperwork you have already done.
    If the person has been LAPR'd, then he can change jobs wherever he wants. (Lawfully Admitted for Permanent Residence)

    Yes. Works for me

    Two standard dice are rolled. What are the odds in favor of rolling a sum of 10? How do you work this?

    Hi,





    The odds are 1 in 12 that you will roll a total of 10.





    ....1..2..3. 4 .5 .. 6


    .-------------------------


    1|.2..3. 4. 5. 6. . 7.|


    2|.3 .4. 5. 6. 7. . 8.|


    3|.4. 5. 6. 7. 8. ..9.|


    4|.5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.|


    5|.6. 7. 8.9.10. 11 |


    6|.7. 8. 9 10.11.12|





    In this chart of totals there are 3 tens out of 36. That's a probability of 1/12. %26lt;==ANSWER





    I hope that helps!! :-)Two standard dice are rolled. What are the odds in favor of rolling a sum of 10? How do you work this?
    Let's think of all the combinations that sum to 10.





    Die 1 | Die 2


    6 | 4


    5 | 5


    4 | 6





    So, there's a 3/6 chance of scoring a possibly useful number on die one, and then a 1/6 chance of scoring the corresponding number one die two.





    So the chance of a sum of 10 is 3/6 * 1/6 = 3/36 = 1/12.Two standard dice are rolled. What are the odds in favor of rolling a sum of 10? How do you work this?
    There are 3 ways to get sum of 10: 4+6, 5+5, 6+4


    There are total of 6*6 = 36 ways.





    Probability = 3/36 = 1/12


    Odds = 1/11


    -----------


    Ideas: Odds = #favorable outcomes/#unfavorable outcomes.
    There are 36 possible outcomes from rolling two dice. A sum of ten arises from 4-6, 5-5, and 6-4, and in no other way, therefore the odds are 1 in 12 that you will roll a 10.
    36 possible outcomes (6*6)





    You get a 10 by





    4, 6


    5, 5


    6, 4





    3/36


    1/12
    pi r squared is right!

    This may seem like an easy math question, but can someone work this out for me and show how you did it?

    The sum of three consecutive whole numbers is 450. Find the numbers.





    Thanks,





    KariThis may seem like an easy math question, but can someone work this out for me and show how you did it?
    Let x be the smallest digit. Then (x+1) is the next consecutive digit and (x+2) is the next, and





    x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 450


    3x + 3 = 450


    3x = 447


    x = 149


    x+1 = 150


    x+2 = 151This may seem like an easy math question, but can someone work this out for me and show how you did it?
    divide the number by 3 = 150


    so you have 3 X 150 ( 150 ... 150 ... 150)


    subtract 1 from one of the 150s, add it onto the other:


    149....150...151 (added together = 450 agn)


    :D
    wel sumppl did da theoritical way while nick did it in da shortcut way.. ;-)
    Divide by three and that would be the middle number which is 150 the other would be one higher (151) and one lower (149).








    x = middle number


    x +1 = highest number


    x - 1 = lowest number.





    x + x -1 +x + 1 = 450


    3x = 450


    x =150





    x +1 = 151


    x -1 = 149
    149, 150, 151 I just divided 450 by 3 and then did guess and check.
    x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 450


    3x + 3 = 450


    3x = 450 - 3


    3x = 447


    x = 149


    149, 150, 151
    149,150,151


    i took 450/3=150 then take away one and add one the even each other out
    Oh well, it;s quite easy.


    Think that your numbers are x, x+1 and x+2


    so


    x+x+1+x+2 = 450


    that means


    3x +3 = 450


    so


    3x=450-3





    3x = 447





    -%26gt;x=149


    so you have


    149 150 and 151 :D
    I divided by the quantity of numbers, which is 3. The average is 150. They are consecutive whole numbers, so that would be the numbers right before and after 150, until I get to three total numbers. That would be 149, 150, and 151.
    Answer is: 149, 150, 151


    1st number = x


    2nd number = x+1


    3rd number = x+2





    Sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers (x+x+1+x+2) = 450.


    3x+3 = 450


    3x = 447


    x = 149


    x+1 = 150


    x+2 = 151
    This is an algebra problem





    First you have to identify what you are trying to find. Since you have to find three consecutive numbers, you first have to find the first one.





    x





    Then you will have to find the second


    x+1





    Then you will have to find the third


    x+2





    When you have labeled all the numbers then you add


    x+x+1+x+2=450





    Then you combine like terms and you get


    3x+3=450





    Then you have to subtract the 3 from both sides


    3x+3-3=450-3





    Then you will get


    3x=447





    You will then divide by sides by 3


    3x/3=447/3





    Then you will have


    x=149





    So if x=149, then x+1=150, and x+2=151.
    X = first number


    Y = second number


    Z = third number





    Y = X +1


    Z = Z + 2





    X +Y + Z = 450





    X + (X + 1) + (x + 2) = 450





    3X + 3 = 450





    3X = 447





    X = 149


    Y = 150


    Z = 151
    1+n(any varriable)+2+n+3+n=450


    3+3n=450


    3-3+3n=450-3


    3n/3=447/3


    n=149


    1+149


    2+149


    3+149
    Ok, so you know that the three numbers follow one right after the other. Therefore, if 'x' is the lowest number, x+2 is the highest, and x+1 is the middle number.


    So, as we're looking for the sum, we're going to add these three values to find for unknown number x.


    x+(x+1)+(x+2)=450.


    Being an addition problem, we don't have to worry about the parentheses.


    x+x+x+1+2=450, which simplifies to 450=3x+3


    Next, we try to get x on its own. Remember, what is done to one side, must be done to the other!


    450-3=3x+3-3, which simplifies to 3x=447.


    3x/3=447/3, which is x=447/3


    So, if the lowest number is 447/3, then the middle number is 447/3+1, which is 450/3. The highest number must be 447/3+2, which is 453/3.








    I hope that didn't confuse you too much. And I really hope that wasn't your homework.


    Good luck in Algebra!
