Why did large-scale urban centers fail to develop in pre-European North America?

Holocene North America (north of the Chihuahuan Desert) possessed all the makings of a continent capable of supporting a relatively dense population: temperate climates, ample precipitation, indigenous fowl and flora, and a smooth, irrigable terrain immensely amenable to horticulture. And yet, despite all the qualities of this gentle continent, its inhabitants fell short of developing their own versions of Teotihuacan, Monte Alban, Calakmul, Cusco, or Tiwanaku. Why did urban centers larger than Cahokia fail to develop in North America? Was the lack of wild teosinte such an insurmountable obstacle to urbanization that dragged them far behind their Mesoamerican and Andean cousins?

I am sewing my own nursery bedding and need help???

The information under the heading fabrics will tell you which types of fabric are best. You need enough fabric for each item you want to make. Each Letter heading ABC etc stands for each piece. Add all those amounts together and pick out your fabric and tell the lady there how much you need cut. She will do it for you. The cutest way to do it is to choose coordinating fabric and just use the correct amount for each item seperately. The lady who works in that department can also help you select the fabric. Under notions it tell you the only thing you need besides the fabric is thread. Just pick a color that matches one of the colors in the fabric. Good Luck.

My bf/husband to be attacked by neighbours.?

i am 26year old, liven with bf for the past 2 years, great guy, loving caring, real man(hides felines at times, but he big softie at heart), plus he's got great bod and handsome. but over the last week he hasn't been talkin to me as he's not been feeling well and he sleeping in different bed which is unusual. we have great life, i thought he wasn't interested in me any more or i had done something wrong. i am having a baby boy soon and we are both really happy, he is worse than me, normally dads aren't as excited, he's decorating a room already, bought foot!. we live in flat which is worth �900,000 and we the neighbours next door moved out, we expect some noise from neighbours as no one can live in silence, but the next door neighbours are making 24/7 racket, its just not something you'd expect in this area, they smash bottles on our door, they piss through the letter box. i cant sleep at night. my bf is there for me, he been across and got the guy who lives there and spoke to him, he promises to keep it down. but they start again, there's a few of them who live there, but when theres a party, which is usually every night! there is whole bunch of them. i have recently purchased a baseball bat as the police are useless, just for self defance and i have huge knife from kitchen sittin next to door, so if anyone pisses through letterbox they'll get chopped off, there father> super intendant. now over the past week my soon to be husband sleeping in spare room, he didn't tell me until today cause he didn't want me worrying and haven stress cause baby, a week ago, he went across when he saw the father (super intendant) who we think bought them the house as it his sons, my bf/husband to be just told me what he done, he grabbed his with his hand and basically squeezed them for about 3 mins until my bf was basically in tears and told him he would be keeping an eye on him and that he was a ********* and that he isn't happy that he was makin complaints to the police (he is police) about his sons + his sons will do what they like and that this area is his patch, also he would be seeing "us" around and it would be shame if something was to happen to "baby". he is in his fifties the guy is a coward, has to use coward tactics, my bf not been to work cause it still sore when he moves. his /testicles are all swollen and puffed up and red, i don't no if they could be damaged, i taken photos for proof and he goin to doctor to speak about this, my bf isn't violent and can be if someone was attacking him, but would never resort to low tactics like that. i normally see him naked in morning and in bed so it was weird for him to be in house and be keeping his distance. my bf told me stay away from them and especially in my condition with baby on way, he can hardly walk because it is sore and in pain, i have forced him to go to doctor and lawyer, he's embarred. its some macho pride thing. we got no witnesses. i feel awful for him cause i cant imagine the pain he is goin through. i bought him a really tight jock strap, so most time he sits with that on cause it comfier. wht do we do? can we do anything even though we have no witnesses. goin to police is pointless.

We are in a bind and only getting in deeper, so we have to file bankruptcy. We have a home and two vehicles we want to try and keep.

Why is she such an idiot?

My roommate is an idiotic tool. Besides the fact that she likes to sit in the dark all of the time (who turns out all the lights in the room to read a book?), she is a bossy twit. She has told me that I can't touch one of the blinds. I opened one today, because guess what, I like light in February, and she goes "did you touch it? you shouldn't touch it." My response, "light is healthy for you. vitamin d is healthy". her "i get light by going outside". me "well, i prefer not to spend a lot of time outside when it is 15 degrees with 30+mile an hour winds". Also, because I have an actually difficult major, I do not get to spend all of my time watching videos on youtube, or reading "fun books" like her, instead, I actually study and do work. For instance, tonight I was working on a chem lab report, because I actually have other work and nighttime commitments as well, unlike lazy , but she once again, turns off all the lights and goes "i'm going to bed. Now, she listens to music because apparently, she has so many thoughts in her head, that rock, or screamo, or "whatever she's in the mood for" helps her concentrate. So while she is STILL currently listening to music, I am not allowed to have my quiet Jack Johnson/Regina Spektor/Ingrid Michaelson mix playing quietly, because somehow she will magically hear it through her headphones as she listens to music. What the helll???

Can you please help me choose a direction?

It sounds like your body wants you to go clockwise, in my opinion:) Although, you have progressed greatly in learning all your single jumps AND being able to jump them in both directions for skating since June!!! Congrats:) All of your preferences are the complete OPPOSITE of my preferences, and I'm a counter clockwise skater. I agree with your coach in picking one direction and sticking with it in order to start learning your doubles; I'd focus on the clockwise direction. I think that you generally find it easier that way and you will be able to progress faster and probably feel a bit of relief as well!! Take care:)

How can I make our first time less painful for her?

She could have a pretty simple medical condition that's causing to be painful for her. She should go to a gynecologist and see what's going on. Or she might have a really low pain threshold. The first time is supposed to hurt, but not enough to make her cry out or anything. Have you tried with her on top? My first time the boy I was with tried being on top, and it hurt too bad, so I went on top and it didn't hurt as much. If it's really hurting her, she should see a doctor before you try again, there could be a lot of negative mental side effects from trying to have and it being painful every time. She might even lose her desire to have altogether, or have an adverse reaction to ual or romantic stimulation.

How do i tell if i blew my moms engine?

What a mess! Sound like you spun a bearing on the crankshaft. This may all be related to the original water leak, You may have gotten coolant in the oil and wiped out a bearing. Don't run the engine anymore. You may still be able to save the crankshaft. I'm betting that thing has a lot of miles on it though, and an engine replacement or rebuild is in the cards. Sorry.

No seriously because I live in California and we are at the end of the time zone so is it going to be like the year 2000 where we got to see that the rest of the worlds computers didn't crash first? I just want to be prepared because if it's going to be a simultaneous thing than maybe the world will actually end for us Californians tonight?

Sudan being smug?

Sudan thinks they can compete with places like Britain? I literally laughed when i heard that they were going to "lash" Gillian Gibbons (the schoolteacher) for letting her students name their project teddy bear Muhammad. I don't know why they feel all hot-shot all of the sudden but they are nothing. Britain and the U.S. have nothing to trade with something as irrelevant as Sudan, considering we're in war with Iraq. Also , how did this impose on the religion of Islam?? Aadom is the third most popular name in Sudan and if you want to get technical is could be a negative memory of Adam and Eve becoming complete mortals. Sudan, you lose. Muhammad, you lose.

Why do some Christians say there is no hell or eternal torment?

I don't think a true Christian would say that there is no hell. I f you believe in heaven, you have to believe in hell too. You can't just believe in one part of the Bible.

Do you know what socialism is?

Yes, I have to have an understanding of something before I can hate it. The song "Imagine" by John Lennon reminds me of socialism. It would be wonderful if there was no greed, fear or corruption in the human mind. In my opinion, Socialism would be a fine way to run a planet.

Do you think that people might be more receptive to the gay community if they weren't afraid of backlash?

People would be more receptive of the gay community if we did away with religion.....But we have to have something to keep people "morally correct". So Im not sure thats the right answer either cause we would have a bunch more people running arround commting crimes. The only backlash someone straight gets for being receptive to the gay community is embaressment from being receptive to gay people. Not all but a lot of people do care what others think. But if we can get the bible pushers to quit preaching hate for the GLBT, more people could be more accepting to the GLBT.

Do you think Eli is just in Newts head on hollyoaks?

This question has been asked a million times so far on yahoo. Yes, Eli is not real. Newt is schizophrenic and Eli is his other personality.

The Ethics Of Hell?

I don't scare easily, but the words of Dawkins in this video sent chills up my spine. He is actually advising people to reject God. To turn against the source of all love, all life, all forgiveness. He is holding open a door that can only lead to despair and encouraging us to walk through it. It is an invitation to self worship. And what is the reward, according to Dawkins, of taking this step? We should do it so that we do not waste "the lightening flash of consciousness" that is the materialist definition of life. Man that is cold.

Very socially awkward situation :P?

So I met a girl and we became pretty good friends. She's really fun and all and I found out she liked me, but thing is, I didn't like her like that. I was still debating about how to tell her when homecoming rolled around. I went with a friend and I saw her there. She freaked and yelled at me. Apparently another girl had told her I said horrible things about her, which I know I never said. In fact, I had said nothing but compliments about her to that girl. I managed to convince her I never said those things, but things were even more awkward when she found out I didn't like her like she liked me. Still, after a lotta awkwardness, we were beginning to be friends again, but now she has a rebound boyfriend thats shes even admitted that she doesn't like him at all and I feel bad for the guy. And now I've been hanging out with this one girl I had been planning on asking out that happens to be her worst enemy. It seems like everything I do ends up hurting people... and I hate it because the way my personality is I'm kinda a people pleaser. I hate to see people upset. I know this isn't really a question... But I was hoping a might get some advice on what the heck I should do...

What is wrong with me?

I think there's something wrong with me, sometimes I feel so depressed, I just feel like sleeping all the time, and other times I feel like excersising, and I become really outgoing, friendly, sometimes aggresive and really ual. When I'm in one of the latter moods I spend whole nights having , drinking and smoking with my friends, when I'm in the first mood I described I just go home and go to bed as soon as I come home from school and feel like doing nothing. I'm very intelligent, intellectually for my age but I find it so hard to focus sometimes. Im a 14 year old boy living in the UK.

Latina governor tells illegals, get out, how do you feel libs?

well, I would like to shake that Lady's hand , it's about time someone put there foot down on those illegal undoented workers. Our newly elected Mexican Governor here in Nevada said he would do the same, but we will see. Now if all the politicians in the U.S would stop letting these folks have free medical, deny them WIC when they get pregnant and giving them housing benefits and free meals to there anchor baby children , then maybe they would all go home and we would all be happy.

What is culture?

Culture is the current holistic consciousness of a cohesive group of beings. It changes as cirstances, and opportunity demand. Culture guides the behavior of group members, and the group may chose to enforce behavior so directed by sanctions against the individual or group which fails to comply. We tend to think of culture in human terms, but any social species will have to develop a culture in order to survive. Humans are rather unique, in that they have developed several non-survival cultures over time, but those tend to be only local aberrations, which promptly disappear.

As a US citizen what is the most patriotic thing you could do, to help our Country, in these trying times ???

Work hard, pay your taxes, keep informed, educate others, write your representatives on pertinent issues.....I said write, not e-mail, ( a written letter gets more respect), and, in my opinion, vote third party,....the system needs to change.

Do you have a WIRELESS VIDEO TRANSMITTER (to TV)?

There are a lot of them on the market now. Especially with the birth of the mp3 player. I would say they were pretty good if there is not a lot of interference around the area you are sending the signal. The most affordable one on the market right now is probably from x10. One nice feature is that it has the coaxial hook up and the RCA plugs on the receiver. I used mine primarily for sending music from my PC to my stereo in the living room.

Title Help- Old Movie With A Bunny?

My Dad told me about this movie he saw when he was young about this guy who has an imaginary bunny friend who he talks to (played by a guy in a bunny's suit) - He told me about it when I had tried briefly explaining to him what Donnie Darko was. My Dad was born in 1948, so I'm guessing this was a movie in the 50s-60s range maybe? I can't remember the title, if it was something the bunny, or my friend something... If anyone knows I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!

What do I do about my 14 y.o. daughters relationship with a boy that is going way too fast?

Daughter head over heals about a kid whom she has put high up on a pedistal as he has given her a friend network and companionship which she lacked. She has told me that the two of them had a brief encounter which she regrets but all the same.... She is a tender hearted girl that seeks approval and this kid makes her feel special. I am sick and do not know what to do.... Do I lay down the law and say.. you can't see each other and possibly fuel the relationship or ???

She is petite and beautiful but doesn't see it as she had been heavy in younger years. He is a heavy goofy kid that thinks she is the best thing ever... Do I go to the other parents and my ex or ???

Why do South West Trains' stations in London not have Oyster machines?

Do you think there is enough emphasis on punishing U.S. employers that illegally hire illegal aliens?

Thing is where i live one mexican will get his citizenship start a business and hire all his relatives that are illegal . There not going to turn themselves in . Another thing police don't care where there from as long as they stay out of trouble so who would you call if you knew they was illegal .

Im tired of holding down the fort . There spreading like wild fire here .

Question About GST Rebate Checks in British Columbia?

I have never been aware that BC residents over the age of 19 are entitled to receive GST rebate checks quarterly every year (as long as they submit a tax form). I've been a student for the past two years and have been away from home. I've been getting my parents to complete my tax form every April so am uming that the rebate checks would be sent to my home instead of my current residence. My parents have never seen one of these checks before issued to me. Any idea why this would be and who I should talk to? Also, is it legal for my parents to cash in these checks?

Jesus (pbuh) never said he was the Last prophet. Why?

Do you think we should boycote China, due to the genocide of the peaceful tibetan monks in Tibet, by China?

The slaughter and killing of the Dalai Lama Monks in Tibet to me is shocking! These are peaceful people who want peace in the world...and yet the Chinese Government is taking over the country by force, and killing these innocent monks! I am not buying Chinese made, as I do not believe in China taking over this country with fear and torture, by killing the Tibetan people who live peacefully at the foot of Mt Everest. Many tourists come from all over the world to experience the peacefulness of Tibet and experience the awesomeness of Mt Everest...But the slaughtering in the streets of the monks because of a silent protest is intolerable! How do others feel about this?

There is a theory that Jesus survived the crucifixion and went to India after a brief recovery?

This a a belief of Ahmadiyya Islam. That Jesus died a natural death in India. If you want to be a Christian, most denominations agree you must acknowledge Jesus died with supernatural undertones. However, I doubt many Buddhist monks, if any, have approached the topic. Jesus is totally irrelevant to Buddhism so monks would really have no encouragement to study Christianity. However, scholars have drawn similarities between Buddha and Jesus and some theories arise that Jesus in his youth lived in India.

Teens: NEED ALOT OF ADVICE?

Hmm, complicated. He's been through some shiz recently, so who knows what's been going on. Maybe call or text him and ask if everything is ok and you're willing to meet up and talk. It's probably not you that he's upset with, he might just have a lot on his plate. If he wants to talk more, then be a good friend and listen. But if not, you just have to let it go.

Pending felony trial and probably going to lose job, what can I do for work in the meantime?

I was recently charged with a felony and pending trial. It's a serious charge, but I'm innocent and optimistic I'll get acquitted. I'm a salaried professional for a large utility company so it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll lose my job soon (I think the best option is just to come forward with it so maybe they'll give me the option of resignation or suspension). Anyway...it could be 5-7 months before this whole thing is over with and I need to make some kind of money in the meantime. What can I do?

Fell on my knee pretty hard?

i fell on my knee really hard when i was scooting around on the sidewalk. I was going pretty fast and the rock i hit made a 8 inch scratch on the pavement. I literally blinked and i hit the pavement. My hand absorbed some of the impact and i went like straight down so i didn't like sc it that much. My hand has 5 deep scs in it but my knee is the problem. I had to sit there swearing for about 5 minutes and i swear it felt like i broke it!! It felt like my knee like had exploded and i couldnt stand up. Then the pain started to subside and my knee was throbbing as i hugged a tree to get up -.- i continued down the block slowly and by the time i got back home my knee hadnt stopped hurting but it wasnt as bad. It seems like i scd my knee but theres just a little bit of scd skin on it. The rest is like a pattern of like big red blotches of skin with a bit of bruising underneath and its only been about 10 minutes. When i make my legs straight up against the wall my knee caps sorta push out a bit and theres like a trench but on my left leg its barely noticable. It looks like its a trench from the first world war on my other right knee and its quite swollen. What did i do? Bruises never swell up for me.. It doesnt really hurt too much but when i extend my knee and that "trench" appears in it then it hurts the most. It doesnt hurt that bad so is it like a bruise or what but im not sure because ive never had a swollen bruise before?! -.- what could it be?

Those pesky knomes and garden fairies! HELP!?

I've had several complaints off neighbours and I just don't know what to do?

I have a question regarding spiritual growth?

Yes it is normal. Remember that even Paul, the great apostle, said, "the good I would do, I do not; the evil I would not do, I do". Keep in prayer, keep in bible study, keep going to church, keep being in fellowship with other believers. We will not be released from the attacks of satan until we are off this planet. But greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. Have no fear; God has got you firmly in His hands.

How can I get my poodle to be less stressed?

I adopted Izzy about 5 months ago she is a 3 lb poodle. When I brought her home she was such a happy carefree dog. Now I am going through a divorce and in the last 2 months i have bounced from my dads to my moms and I am just now getting a place on my own (have to fix it up first) but she seems so stressed out all the time. She shakes unless she is in my lap or right beside me. And I am pretty sure she had a seizure today. I called the vet and said no need to bring her in unless it happens again.... I just don't know what to do. I hate seeing my baby in distress.

If you did believe in the christian god, how would you have any respect for him..?

I know exactly what you mean! How is this god even close to being considered "just"? You get thrown in the pit of fire simply over the trivial cause of not believing! In other words, your good actions, your moral behavior, your positive effect on people and this world means nothing when compared to your spiritual beliefs. How is that just? How is that even reasonable?

How do you handle someone who gets too close for comfort and mocks you?

At the church I attend, there's some Asians who frequently come to the services. Last night at the service, one of the Asian ladies was constantly leaning on me or poking at me, and grabbing and holding onto my hand. This was a bit disturbing but I've seen how Asians are pretty physically affectionate towards members of the same . I gave her the benefit of the doubt on that note. Later on though we were at someone's house and eating. I was trying to speak to one of the Asians in their language, as I've been learning it. It was as though I couldn't say anything without this woman mocking the way I said something. I know she said something demeaning towards me by the expression on her husbands face towards her after she had said it. How would you suggest I handle myself in these situations?

Is the media pro-Obama and anti-Hillary?

I've noticed that virtually every major news network (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) and most news magazines (Newsweek, Time) have all jumped on the Obama bandwagon and always seem happy to blow up an anti-Hillary story. Everytime I see a pundit on tv, they're literally hing at the mouth whenever they try to criticize Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton, as if they get an everytime they say something mean-spirited and negative about the Clinton campaign. The ysts rarely ever bring up anything negative about Obama, and if they do, it's always within the context of how Hillary is distorting the truth and his sins aren't as bad as they seem (even when he lies flat out about positions on single payer health care or his "not present" votes in Illinois). The news magazines are also bad..guys like Jonathan Altar talk about the Clintons patronizing Americans, thinking Americans are stupid enough to buy their ads in SC. Why are political journalists and pundits so cr and unprofessional?

Please, be nice! What would you do?

Soon to be ex-husband has a married girlfriend. Her husband is threatening to get mine thrown out of the Military. He has contacted me 2 times since he found out. I am not divorcing because of this girlfriend; it is because of all of the others and emotional abuse. I have basically begged the other husband to keep in mind that if my husband does get kicked out he will lose his retirement, which in turn so will I. I really need that money to help with my children. Their dad is a real jerk and does not chip in. Feels his child support is enough. In fact, when he brings them home he tells me what he bought and wants to take half of those expenses from my child support check. I really want the two cheaters to get their rear-ends nailed to the wall, but I don't want to jeopardize the kids financially, or myself. I am willing to work 2 jobs, but my kids need me home as much as possible. They are girls, ages 15 and 9. A real mess here. If this doesn't make sense, please ask for clarification. I'm so at a loss right now. Thanks for your thoughts.

Can anyone give me some information on becoming a paralegal?

First off, Your four year degree is not worthless! You finished school and stuck throu it through thick and thin as for the dead end low paying jobs all I can say is you have to pace yourself anywhere you go, get periodic job performance reviews and when appropriate ask for raises. If u are interested in the legal field think of everything you did that relates to it and network with professionals who have put their degrees to good use. Im sure there is relevance you can apply in your studies towards your career aspirations, whether they be in the law or any other field. Just start getting familiarized with the legal terms and laws, choose a specific area of law for instance say, family law and get familiarized with the forms they use. Also perfect your grammar and people skills, You have to be very persistent and have a keen attention to detail. You must posess the ability to work under pressure at all times and an undying commitment to this field because it is very competetive!. For starters you may go to a community college and get a cetificate or ociate degree in Paralegal studies and maybe do an internship when your past the legal research phase of the program. Just make sure is ABA approved; accredited or appoved by the American Bar ociation. Good luck and Best of wishes to you.

Apart from costs, what are the advantages to offshore jobs in India?

Labour costs in India are lower than f.a. in the U.S. The work ethic among their rising middle cl and their eagerness to study is very high. India used to be an English colony and their educational system is still based on the English system. English is still an official language within the government and used as a "lingua franca". many Indians therefore speak English. From a business point of view moving businesses offshore is a way of controlling the rise of labourcosts in the US and elsewhere in the West. When the Indians get too expensive corporations will move elsewhere.

Chest pain and Palipations daily for 6 months?

Atenolol can cause the symptoms you describe, however, I know you are not an idiot, so it may not be this. How long have you been on it? Is there a corrolation?

Anxiety can make your body go nuts, and even though I didn't feel anxious, I still had anxiety attacks. I hope this helps.

Do you know the Abrahamic faith and blood line?

People if we understand Prophet Abraham and the accepted sacrifice that was accepted by God. We people in the Abrahamic we shouldn't be at war with each other. If we truly understand the sacrifice we can see that God blessed his bloodline for mankind to worship Him. It was already decided Prophet Musa (pbuh) was sent to The Children of Isreal, (pbuh)Isa Jesus Christ was sent to the Chritians and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sent to the Muslim ummah. Can't we all see that due to Prophet Abraham he brought us the concept of the worship and the unity of God. Without him religion we would have no religion. Why do we Fight, Kill, AND Hate Each other? All divine people talked about and lived in peace. I don't know if people are aware even when my Prophet who I chose lived in the city of Medina lived with Jews and Christians in peace for years. We are all prone to fight because everyone wants to be The right religion. To me there is no such thing. My Lord lets me know 2 important facts To worship Him and Him alone and one day I will be standing in front of Him to be judged by him on The Day of Judgment. This question is only for my open minded people. Why do we in religion fight and hate each other when we are taught to love each other and not to hate one another. Anyone that worships there Lord is not only right but you are following a great path. It doesn't matter the religion at this point its all about the Heart and the Will. Peace.....

What is more in this world love or hate?

What do you think, is there more love, kindness, and peace in ourselves and in the world (because we make up the population of the world) or is there more hatred, selfishness, and war within us and therefore also in the world. In other words if there was a huge scale, huge enough to carry every thing the five continents of the world had to offer, and on one balance there is hatred, selfishness, and war and on the other love, kindness, and peace, which balance do you think would tip?

Does being accused of being a criminal make a person more likely to be one?

Take for example the fact that the majority of people in the western (white European, anglo-saxon) world consider black and african people to be prone to , robbery, and other vicious and animalistic behaviors. If these blacks are not genetically more susceptible to and other violent crimes, then, could it be possible that carrying around that stigma for all of ones life might give one more of a reason to actually live out the stereotypes? I of course am not implying that that would be rational thinking or any excuse at all to carry out these atrocious acts. But if you are raised being told that you're a criminal, or future rapist, psychologically could this have a self fulfilling prophecy?

Are Arsenal cracking?

Arsenal are cracking. I've see Fabregas has spoken to the press about how he would love to win the league with Arsenal at only 20 years old and playing every game. He says they have got to hold on. I think he is trying to convince himself rather than anyone else that they are not losing it when clearly they are. Man UTD are traditionally the stronger team when it comes to the final stages overturning 12 points and 13 points that Newcastle and Arsenal had over them in the past. Now Arsenal are only 1 point ahead and they have got to play each other, the way Arsenal were convincingly beaten by Man UTD in the cup 4-0 tells us the points will go to Man Utd when they meet again. Chelsea are catching up also. I think when the Arsenal lead is gone, they will fold.

An accidental run over?

We were riding in our Green Machine and accidentally ran over Mister Quartermain. We were so scared, that we didn't even stop to help him but drove right home and hid on the attic! When we bought the Green Machine, the salesman told us that it was a noiseless, smooth form of transportation. The first week with it was, indeed, like a dream, and then this happened! What should we do now? We can't stay in the attic forever.

Please Help Out Ladies....?

Hi everyone!! Im 22 weeks pregnant, and have high blood pressure. I was put on Aldomet which is the safest to take during pregnancy. Well I had to go off it because it actually caused major heart papiltations. So I went to a Cardiologist yesterday who gave me Toprol. 1 25mg tablet everyday. It keeps my heart rate down which is great, and lowers my BP. But Im sooooo worried about taking it. He said its completely safe, and not to worry, but I googled it and it said all these things about under growth and slow heart rate at birth. So I just wanted some stories of woman that were put on something else BESIDES aldomet and were completely fine. And their baby was fine also. So I guess the Dr. is the best one to listen to. I just wanted some other input. Thanks!!

Do guys like the "pin-up" makeup and hair look?

Guys tend to like it when girls don't wear much make up and have natural looking hair but they also like it when a girl cares about her appearance. This is why the pin up look is perfect for dates, it keeps you looking simple but the hot red lips and gorgeous curls show him that you want to look good for him. A flower in the hair is the perfect finishing touch for the pin us girl look as it allows you to put a personal spin on the style. Some ignorant people may tell you that the pin up girl look is trashy but don't listen to the, the pin up girl look is a clic style that looks beautiful on everyone so grab your red lippie and prepare for guys to be amazed!

Do you prefer which of the following interpretive approaches to the Bible?

What's that scripture.. "my thoughts are higher than yours".. anyways. I'm finding that the bible is not understandable unless you take the faith step of accepting Christ FIRST. Then after you have the Spirit - then you can understand it in a consitent manner. IF you do not have hte Spirit, then you can't grasp it because it's a spiritual language (in my opinion) that you can only understand with a "living" spirit.

I got the BLUES.........................…

I am at a lost really. You have great family and friends from what I gather. Why can't you suggest to your husband that he get your family and friends together and plan something just for you. You are miserable over some birthday party or junket that may not come together the way you wanted and that is crazy. This is not about a party, you need to share your misgivings on getting older with someone who will listen and care. Hopefully you will be grateful for what you have and not sweat the small stuff.

Wearing a white tux with a light pink vest and tie to prom?

My girlfriend isn't sure how she feels about it, but i try to convince her that because i am dark, that the white and light pink will go great with my skin tone.

Friend or something more......plz answer :D?

Hmm. Well it seems like he likes you even more as a friend. It may just be his self-conscious nature that not allowing him to express his feelings. I would suggest to keep him close. You know hold his hand and tell him you enjoy spending time will him. Maybe that will loosen him up. As for the other girl from another school, she could be a cover or someone he likes. The only way to tell is ask him. I dont know if that's a good idea but it doesn't hurt. Dont push him around too much or make his choices(I'm not saying you are, just giving you something to chew on). Make your relationship as easy as breathing.

have you gotten in pads? If you get in pads and enjoy hitting people, then try out linebacker. But if your just a little too small, than try Strong Safety of Tight End.

Monroe piercing question?

i have had my monroe pierced for about a month and a half now and up until this point it has been healing nicely. a week ago i went into the tattoo shop i got it done at and got it changed from the standard flat back silver stud to a plastic/jewel thing, a day later i took it out because the post was too short. i have been keeping up on my oral care (i have braces too so cleaning my mouth is must with or without the monroe) and taking care of the outside with h2ocean as well. recently i noticed a little tenderness right at the hole and on the inside a little bit. i pulled my lip up to see if anything was abnormal on the inside because everything is fine on the outside and noticed a little flap of skin growing by the hole. it is only attached by the hole and is a normal lip color. i moved it around and it didn't hurt, just felt awkward. the flap isn't trying to grow over the back of the stud as far as i can tell because it is only attached by the hole in one very small place. i have always had a little indention from the flat part of the stud but it has never done this. does anyone know what this is called or has had this happen to them? will the piercing be okay if i keep taking care of it and taking an anti inflammatory to keep swelling down and the stud from tugging at my lip? also, i cant easily go back because my parents were pretty against another facial piercing and already told me the second it got infected or something was weird i would have to take it out. this is not an option for me so i cant tell them to take me in. again- the stud is fine.. very high grade metal, the outside looks great (no peeling no redness no discharge), but the inside has a little flap of skin growing directly to the right of the hole (not over the back just to the right). thanks for your answers.

I know there are lots of guys into men's feet.....which is quite common in that scene, so I ask, are there any trans-gendered person's into men's feet as well? I mean, for the one's who are attracted to men...I find many of them share a certain distaste for men's feet, but I feel that since many women have a distastefor this, maybe they feel they must follow suit to remain in the norm, see..if a beautiful, y trans-gendered women were to like a guys feet, she may feel it comes across as strange, since she is a woman that is...so she may refute any foot play with another guy.......I've had women play with my feet before, but I would be curious how much more intense it would be with a trans-gendered/????

Have humans become less respectful/humble/kind over the generations?

Okay real talk...I'm only 27 but I know exactly what you are talking about and it all boils down to this. You and I happen to notice it, some others don't...especially those that we are referring to. So, it boils down to Parents living in the same house as their children but not raising them. Parent's are not spending time teaching their children life anymore. They just teach them how not to make them mad in THEIR house. Parents are not teaching their children anything. They just give them food, clothes, and rides. They don't teach them about the rest of the world, kindness, humility....All in all, I have a biased opinion but, No Bible, No Jesus....and THIS is what you're left with.

Driving the west cost of the USA?

Hi there, myself and partner are planning to drive from Seattle down to Arizona at the beginning of March. We've got no time constraints so plan to take our time and see the sights. We were wondering whether it would prove better financially to rent or buy a car to do this. I understand that insurance may be quite expensive for foreigners and buying a car may be difficult if are not a resident. Does anyone have any information on this. I have also heard that you can drive cars across states for people and wondered if this may be a possibility. Also we are not planning to pre-book accommodation, but rather stop in motels etc along the way and leave the schedule flexible. Does anyone know if accommodation is fairly easy to find generally and how much you can expect to pay for a cheapish motel? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Which Star Trek episode is this?

I don't remember much about it, but I think there were these beings who did not have physical bodies, but only existed in a mental state.

It was really cool but I just can't remember which one it is! Can someone name the episode or post a youtube link?

Are the Tories ' well-spent force'?Thatcherism is still very fresh in people's memories and the severe damage

I hope so, Thatcherism caused so much damage how can anyone say she was the most loved i will never know, The north of England the whole of Scotland and N.Ireland hated her guts for what she did. The only ones who loved her were the south where she made sure all the money went. I disagree with a lot of Blairs decisions made recently the war in Iraq, immigration (are just some)but the economy is in better shape than when they took power, unemployment is down, waiting lists are down (albeit work still needs to be down to bring them down even further). Whilst the effects of Maggie's policies live on then they will hopefully be unelectable

Scared and Confused Please Help?

My period has been very regular since the birth of my daughter in 2004, a few hours after she was born I had a tubal ligation. Now here I am 8 days late for my period, I took a home pregnancy test, 3 days ago, it was a weak positive. So I freaked and went to the dr. She did a urine test, it was negative, but then she decided to do a blood test. Blood test was positive, so I'm pregnant. I had a transl ultra sound done and they couldn't find anything yet. I have 3 children already, I'm 25 years old and my husband and I are both college students. We can afford another baby, but if I am pregnant and it is a normal pregnancy, I don't know what to do, my husband is away right now, as he is a MMA no holds barred fighter on the side I am so lost and scared, I just don't know what to do.

18 credit hours too much?

It's often good to give yourself one "easy" cl to keep yourself from burning out (anything that isn't math, science, or engineering is, by definition, easy). I would keep the humanities. The opportunity to switch gears on occasion will be welcome when you start dreaming of circuits and magnetic fields. This is quite a load though, I would consider dropping the DifEq cl. At my school we took that cl after multivariable calculus, which I ume is the equivalent of Calc 3. Doubling up on the math is going to make your brain hurt, and DifEq is an important enough subject that you should give yourself time to learn it properly. You'll be glad you did, trust me. You're not in school to race through it as fast as possible, you're there to learn. Good luck whichever way you go.

Night bus from London to Heathrow - Is it SAFE?

Hi! I'm spending 2 nights in London in July. My returning flight departures at 06:20am from Heathrow. So, I must arrive around 04:20am there. The only way to get to Heathrow at this time is taking N9 night bus. But I am concerned about SAFETY... Is it safe for a tourist with luggage to take this night bus? Thank you!

Should I keep my daughter away from my in-laws?

I conceived my daughter out of wedlock and while I was pregnant my boyfriend's parents where barely involved in the pregnancy. We invited his mother to the ultrasounds and she always made up excuses so that she didn't have to come. When we had my baby shower my mother invited his mom to participate in putting the party together. She accepted but when my mother would try to call her she would either not return her calls or return them after I told my boyfriend that my mother was trying to contact her. We also invited the guys of my family and his father to show up after my party so that we could feed them for helping put together the event. His father refused to come saying that he was busy and we later found out that he thought it was more important to go hunting then participate in something for his granddaughter. I went into preterm labor with my daughter at 32 weeks and was placed on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. Not once did they ever call, visit or check to see how things were going. On the other hand, my boyfriend's other family members would call me every week or make sure there was nothing I needed. Me and my boyfriend moved out before my baby was born and we invited them again to help us move in. Again they refused...his mother left town with a friend and went shopping and his father went hunting. My entire family helped with moving us in, paying for EVERYTHING that went into our apartment. Due to my boyfriend's financial problems we almost had to move back out because I was paying for everything and his parent's told him that they would not help. My parents and family yet again dished out money so that we could stay and raise our daughter together. Now that my daughter is born and they "fell in love" with her, they want her ALL the time. They wanted us to bring her up to them when we recently had this big snow storm and were mad that I haven't let her go over there in two months. They refuse to stop by and see her at the apartment and they only live 10 minutes away. They expect for us to drive her out and come see them no matter what the weather condition is. It has been as low as 8 degrees and they get mad because they feel like I should drag my baby out. I feel like since they can't help and they were not concerned about her until after she was born then why should they be apart of her life now. As mean as it sounds, I don't want them around her. They still won't lift a finger to help us with ANYTHING but yet they think that they are entitled to having her ALL the time. She recently told my boyfriend that she hopes he is more of a man than to let me tell him that they can't have the baby all the time. It is causing problems between me and my boyfriend because I see my family bending over backwards to help us and his parents won't even bring us a loaf of bread. I don't want to jeopardize his relationship with his parents but I have no respect for them. What do you think I should do?

Do you see any correlations from all the strong earthquakes & volcanoes throughout the world?

How is Eyjafjallaj�kull Volcano doing in Iceland? I heard of one in Chile that was probably greater? How are volcanoes rated in terms of their plume... ash? Will earth become cooler overall because of these volcanic eruptions? Invest in other natural resource power source, but not solar since sun might be hidden for quite awhile. If no more eruptions occur, how long will it take for earth to see the sunshine more directly & frequently? Thank you for your expertise on this one!

Why is the nazi salute not taken serious anymore?

What's a really cool song for a ballet/pointe solo?

I don't know if I wanna do a clical one. But if you have a clical song please list it anyway.. but last year I did a solo to Masquerade from The Phantom of the Opera. That's not really clical is it? Well, that's the kind that I want. Like not something clical, but something that would be a really cool pointe number. If you know of a good song, please, put it down! :) oh and if you know of any good lyrical/contemporary songs about happiness, loving life sorta thing. I've been doing a lot of I'm so alone, I wanna die, blah blah blah stuff, but I wanna do something happy for once and feel good and smile while I'm dancing. So if you know any good songs please please put them down. I'm pretty much open to anything! I'll pick best answer for whoever has the best answer! Or most songs. Haha I need some variety! Thanks guys, I really appreciate it! :D

Why do they put taurine in energy drinks when it only has effects on felines?

because it gives the drink a bit of kick in the flavor for example the new euro monster has no taurine and it has a smoother taste without the kick

Have you ever helped someone and they actually be grateful for it?

I know the point is not to expect gratitude from the other person - the idea is to help them. However, have you ever felt that not only are they not grateful but that they also act like you never really helped? and so you wonder whether you should've even wasted your time?!??

How long until Michael Moore makes a movie about the Tucson shooting?

he is a good movie-maker. You have to admire his movie-making skills. Cons are not even capable of making any kind of video. They will be more interested to see if camcorder is made in china or not, but would not go ahead to push the start on

Can I dye over my red hair?

I have asked a question about my hair earlier. I had turned my roots orange dying over my natural ash brown roots, and then the rest of the hair green hues becuase of the high lights I had. Then I tried a medium brown which didn't do anything. So I decided to listen to you guys and get it fixed proffesionally, only to have it even worse. I asked the lady to fix my hair and dye it to a color that matches my natural color and to get rid of any of this current colors. Well she did...but now she made my hair a red. The roots are a bright red, while the rest of the hair is a dark red. Can I dye over my red color with a really dark brown all over? Will this get rid of the red and make my hair just dark brown? I know I will wait a week or so before doing this. And should I use a permanent or a semi permament. Please help, I don't understand in the coloring much, and can't waste much more money on a proffesional.
