How many times should one leave a message when wanting to talk to someone after you've been out 4 or 5 times?
This woman and have been dating for the past few months. But for the past week I have only been able to get ahold of her voice mail. How many times should I leave a message before giving up and moving on?
I don't know why women think that giving no response is supposed to communicate a message. Who knows what that message might be.\n\nLeave one more no-nonsense message on her voice mail. Then if you absolutely need to call again to satisfy your mind and questions, dial *67 first and hang up if she doesn't pick up.

I would like to work as a registered nurse in your state and I dont know where to start can you assist me?
I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines and I'm interested in working in the state of Georgia as a registered nurse and I would like to ask if you can send me an application form?
You should be able to get some great help from some of the traveling nurse organizations. These companies are employment agencies who help hospitals, etc. hire temporary medical help. The benefit for you is that working as a "traveling nurse" pays very, very well and there is a huge need for more nurses. Search Google.com for "traveling nurse" and similar phrases.\n\nA second route would be to contact the Human Resources department of the hospital in the area you wish to live. You should be able to find the name of the hospitals in that area from Google.com search, then you should be able to find their website, and from there find the email address of that hospital's human resources department. Most hospitals are in desparate need of nurses, and should be glad to send you whatever information you need.

is it bad to love someone who doesnt love you ?
No, not bad.\nLove is always an acceptable emotion to feel and we generally can not control our feelings only our expression of them.\nRomance is a confusing horse of a different color. A Romantic attachment can seem very much like love and is often confused with it. Romance never lasts on its own, love can but usually requires some effort. Romance can hurt, love does not. Romance can lead to jealousy, love does not. Romance almost requires the other person to feel the same about you, love does not.

If you're really interested in making money, dive right in and start writing - the ability to deliver a finished product is what many employers are looking for.

how might a greater availability of low-cost pc's change the way computers are used in schools and business ?
The greater availability of low-cost pcs will change the way computers are used in school for one simple reason. They will be widely used in schools. It is amazing that basic computer skills are still not taught in most american schools, but it is also try throughout the world. Some guy at MIT is on the verge of mass producing a laptop that will cost about $100 per unit and will be distributed worldwide to schools. This will allow people in the poorest areas of the world to have access to encyclopedia and other reference books that would otherwise never be available to them. These machines will also be distinctively designed so as to reduce their value on the black market, because people will know they were stolen from school children. The quality of education will increase dramatically and all of society will benefit as a result.

Why do people think ColdFusion is really a programming language?
I mean really, come on.
Shame on you, that's not a real question ;)\n[and was it really worth bumping???}\n\nNow, I am a coldfusion programmer, and I personally don't think it's a real programming language. The problem is, the people who started coldfusion thought it wasn't a programming language either, but then suddenly as its userbase needed more solutions for the applications they were building, the language got bigger, and it certainly had to start mimicing the constructs and processes of a real programming language, including OOP methods. So it has become one. Sure it's not OOP, but I was able to use the process I learned from ColdFusion and put it into my C++ skills. \nBut of couse you were asking the question as your own statement about its quality, so your asking is disingenious to begin with. \n\nIt is a programming language, strictly speaking, as you give it input, which it interprets and gives output. It's certainly not as robust as PHP, and has to go back to the server unlike Javascript, which I'm sure you must think are both real languages since they're OOP, but why complain? Get over it and get back to your real programming language.

How do you disable Microsoft Outlook 2003 Junk filter?
My company uses Microsoft Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Exchange.\n\nWithin outlook I've gone to \n\nTools -> Options -> Preferences -> Junk E-mail\n\n"No Automatic Filtering. ..." \n\nIs selected. There are no entries in the "Blocked Senders" tab. But still outlook sometimes "junks" normal email, even from my coworkers and sometimes my mail to other coworkers is "junked" in their outlook also. This has nothing to do with BCC lists or large distributions. It can happen when there is only one recipient. It seems like Outlook wants to control my inbox without the ability to disable it.
It is very likely that your company has installed some default filters at the Exchange server level. You can't access those without permissions. You can however ask the system administrator to provide guidelines and training about what to avoid in your message subject and address lines and in the message body so that you will not trigger the filters for a legitimate message. A problem with all filters is that they do not exercise judgement. They simply execute code. Filters are set up to exclude things that "usually" are more likely in spam than in regular mail. They are a long way from perfect. If you know the rules that have been set up though you can dodge being filtered.

Why do white men like asian chicks so much?
This is probably not the first time you come across this phenomenon. These days, you see a great number of white men wanting to be with asian chicks other than gals of other races. What qualities about asian chicks that white men like about? Why do asian chicks want to be with white men?\n\nAn input from both male and female would be good!
Men believe (rightly or wrongly) that an Asian girl will be more submissive or docile. They stereotype Asian women in that way based upon what they see in movies or based upon what they hear goes on in Asia. Some Asian women are attracted to white men because they want someone who doesn't treat them as subserviant. They want to be treated as an equal. See what can go wrong in this picture? Obviously many relationships between Asians and westerners work just fine, but if someone is just trying to attract "any Asian" or "any white guy", there could be a problem. As far as physical attraction, perhaps some are attracted by the more youthful appearance, but some may also be attracted by the fact that in general, Asians tend to be slimmer than western women. Many guys find that attractive. Guys look at a woman's mother for a clue at what his girl may look like in the future. Asian parents tend to be slimmer than western parents. \n\nThere is some male input for you.

If you are crazy, do you know you are crazy?
What you are referring to is called "insight". It certainly helps to have insight into your disease, but a lot of times it does not stop people from doing crazy things. Insight is more common for depression. On the other hand people who have manic episodes cannot tell they have a problem (spending lots of money, sexual promiscuity, talking fast, don't need sleep, etc...)\n\nSchizophrenics will often have insight into their disease as well. For example, they may know that the voices they hear aren't real, but coming from inside their head. However, they still hear the voices, and the voices still tell them to do crazy things.

When is it okay to give cash as a gift.?
I think it's always okay to give cash as a gift unless it's like $5 for your birthday from your husband. It has to be a certain amount for a particular occasion and depends on the relationship.
Never. In giving money you clearly demonstrate how much you payed for the gift. With gift giving, it's the thought that counts - not the amount.\n\nThis requires more explanation. "The thought that counts" means that you have given thought to the other person to whom you are giving the gift. This means that you demonstrate that you know the person somewhat and, therefore, would know what he would like. You show thought. Money, as a gift, is perfectly impersonal and thoughtless.\n\nWhat is the good of giving a gift if it demonstrates no "cost" of time and energy in selecting something personal?

how do you subnet a problem?
In all honesty, your question is WAY too vague to answer in completeness. \n\n"Subnetting" is a term specific to IP Addressing wherein a mask is used to further subdivide address space within an organization.\n\nIPv4 addresses take the form A.B.C.D where A,B,C, and D are decimal representations of an eight place binary number. Each number within the set is known as an "octet". The number A would be referred to as the "first octet", B would be the "Second Octet" and so on.\n\nIPv4 uses Classful addressing; this means that certain groupings or "Classes" are used to segregate addresses for specific uses. The classes are usually broken down as follows:\n\nClass A (which comprises a first octet of 0-127) addresses use only the first octet to refer to the network, all other octets are used in a hierarchial manner to provide a vast number of hosts (Roughly 16 million hosts are available).\nNNNNNNNN.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH\n\nClass B addresses use the first two octets as a network address. They comprise first octet numbers 128-191. They provide less hosts than the Class A addresses and are better for smaller organizations. \nNNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH\n\nClass C addresses use the first three octets as a network designator, providing only 254 useable host addresses. These are perfect for small organization use, or small private networks.\n\nSubnets are created by using a "subnet mask", or an IP address that uses the binary address to indicate whether or not a specific bit is used as a network address or a host address. This allows network administrators to further identify their individual machines.\n\nFor example; One of my clients uses the 10.x.x.x Class A private network schema. They use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 That looks like this:\nNNNNNNNN.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH.HHHHHHHH\n11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000\n\nAny space where there is a 1, the network will steal those bits from the "host" space and use it to designate a "network". My client uses the second octet to differentiate between departments, and the third octet to differentiate between types of machines. IE: 10.15.133.25 is a printer in accounting, 10.15.x.x being Accounting's address space, and 10.x.133.x being all printers in the building.\n\nSubnetting allows for greater control over a network's function by allowing a network administrator to segregate out pieces of their address space for specific needs.

Anyone have any good remedies for clearing up eczema?
I've used cortizone creams and other prescription creams but it never goes completely away. And it flairs up worse during certain seasons.
1. Don't try the "light therapy" some derms will recommend.\n2. As soon as you get out of a bath/shower, don't dry off completely and put lotion on like Eucerin or Cetaphil. You need to mosturize ASAP after your skin is wet.\n3. If you can, get into the ocean at a beach with salt water it will give you clear skin for about a week. And be incredibly soft!\n4. Be careful how much steroid lotion u use, it can dry it out more.\n5. Try taking vitamins to help your skin.\n6. Unfortnately, this will be life long issue that will get better/worse on/off. \nI feel your pain!!!!!

Why is the sky blue?
The Earth's sky is blue because the air molecules (largely nitrogen\nand oxygen) are much smaller than the wavelength of light. When light\nencounters particles much smaller than its wavelength, the scattered\nintensity is inversely proportional to the 4'th power of the\nwavelength. This is called "Rayleigh scattering," and it means that\nhalf the wavelength is scattered with 2**4 = 16 times more intensity.\nThat's why the sky appears blue: the blue light is scattered some 16\ntimes more strongly than the red light. Rayleigh scattering is also\nthe reason why the setting Sun appears red: the blue light has been\nscattered away from the direct sunlight.\n \nThus, if the atmosphere of another planet is composed of a transparent\ngas or gases whose molecules are much smaller than the wavelength of\nlight, we would, in general, also expect the sky on that planet to\nhave a blue color.\n \nIf you want another color of the sky, you need bigger particles in the\nair. You need something bigger than molecules in the air---dust.\n \nDust particles can be many times larger than air molecules but still\nsmall enough to not fall out to the ground. If the dust particles are\nmuch larger than the wavelength of light, the scattered light will be\nneutral in color (i.e., white or gray)---this also happens in clouds\nhere on Earth, which consist of water droplets. If the dust particles\nare of approximately the same size as the wavelength of light, the\nsituation gets complex, and all sorts of interesting scattering\nphenomena may happen. This happens here on Earth from time to time,\nparticularly in desert areas, where the sky may appear white, brown,\nor some other color. Dust is also responsible for the pinkish sky on\nMars, as seen in the photographs returned from the Viking landers.\n \nIf the atmosphere contains lots of dust, the direct light from the Sun\nor Moon may occasionally get some quite unusual color. Sometimes,\ngreen and blue moons have been reported. These phenomena are quite\nrare though---they happen only "once in a blue moon...." :) The dust\nresponsible for these unusual color phenomena is most often volcanic\nin origin. When El Chicon erupted in 1982, this caused unusually\nstrongly colored sunsets in equatorial areas for more than one year.\nThe much bigger volcanic explosion at Krakatoa, some 110 years ago,\ncaused green and blue moons worldwide for a few years.\n \nOne possible exception to the above discussion is if the clouds on the\nplanet are composed of a strongly colored chemical. This might occur\non Jupiter, where the clouds are thought to contain sulfur, phosphorus,\nand/or various organic chemicals.\n \nIt's also worth pointing out that the light of the planet's primary is\nquite insignificant. Our eyes are highly adaptable to the dominating\nillumination and perceive it as "white," within a quite wide range of\npossible colors. During daytime, we perceive the light from the Sun\n(6000 K) as white, and at night we perceive the light from our\nincandescent lamps (2800 K, like a late, cool M star) as white. Only\nif we put these two lights side-by-side, at comparable intensities,\nwill we perceive a clear color difference.\n \nIf the Sun was a hot star (say of spectral type B), it's likely we\nstill would perceive its light as "white" and the sky's color as blue.

can I find my old chat and emails on the web?
Usually the only things retained on the Internet are those things posted to a bulletin board, website or USENET. You can search for that at Google Groups. If it's chat like with AIM or Yahoo Messenger and you don't have it set to log your chat, then no -- it's gone forever. As for your emails, that's pretty much the same thing. ISPs will keep copies of your emails for a while, but after a certain point, they'll just purge it. If it's something you want to hang on to, you should consider saving it to disk or printing it out.

you believe telemedicine is going to resolve the problems of health in third world?
Resolve? Probably not, but it is a step in the right direction. Consider the following:\n\nA great promise of telemedicine has been to help isolated or scattered populations gain access to health services. In industrialized countries, telemedicine has proven to be a good tool for enabling access to knowledge and allowing information exchange, and showing that it is possible to bring good quality healthcare to isolated communities.\n\nTelemedicine is beginning to have an important impact on many aspects of health care in developing countries. When implemented well, telemedicine may allow developing countries to leapfrog over their developed neighbours in successful health care\ndelivery. Places such as Pakistan may find that local practitioners can provide the best advice to their patients without having to send them from small communities to large urban centres. Outposts in the highlands of Papau New Guinea may replace their radio communications from the 1970s with internet communication at little extra cost. Trainees from the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States may find excellent opportunities to gain experience in Bangladesh, Guatemala, or Nepal, while continuing to pursue their learning objectives in concert with mentors from their home institutions.\n\nThese trainees will develop collaborations with local students, which could last a lifetime, opening the way for more equitable distribution of knowledge and medical care throughout the world. Medicine rests on solid principles which can transcend political and social divisions. Telemedicine should allow us to implement advances in the spirit of our historical roots, even at a distance. \n\nMost telemedicine projects call upon a mix of delivery paths. High-precision remote surgical interventions, for example, or remote access to very complex imagery such as brain scans, dictate the use of high-speed broadband telecommunication links. However, in many cases, the public Internet offers huge possibilities. It provides fast access to medical data, patient symptoms and expertise nationally, regionally or globally, thus bringing medical care to those who would otherwise go unattended. The improved quality of videoconference and audio tools on the Internet is also providing a valuable resource for live, remote consultation and diagnosis.\n\nThe continuing decline in the cost of telecommunications and information technology, as well as great leaps in digital imaging and compression techniques have spurred a new wave of enthusiasm for telemedicine, particularly in developing countries. It is in these countries where telemedicine’s greatest asset — allowing specialist medical expertise to be delivered to regions and locations where doctors are few on the ground — shows the best prospects for success.\n\nFor governments struggling with limited health care budgets, a shortage of doctors and other health care professionals, dispersed rural hospitals and poor transportation infrastructure, telemedicine may help them overcome these difficult challenges in meeting the health care needs of their citizens.

not sound offensive or anything but does the word caucasian really mean dead asian?
You can see three dictionaries' definitions of the word by going to the link I've pasted below. None of them indicate that the word "caucasian" is in any way related to "dead asian." The Caucasus is a region of the world that forms part of the traditional boundary between Europe and Asia, and the word "caucasian" originally described people who lived in that region.

Power of Compounding?
I'm familiar with what the theory is about, but I was wondering about the fact that most models of the theory are based on a certain interest rate. Say 10%. I understand attaining this amount has something to do with asset allocation, but is there a way to garner that 10% with very minimal risk? For example, putting it in a money market fund?
The performance measures of portfolios (sharpe & treynor) are all determined as comparisons against the tax-free rate of return generated by 30-day treasuries which has the least market risk. Any %age point of return higher than this rate of return typically comes with additional risk. The more risk, the higher the return. \n\nIf you look at the Ibbottson return studies, you'll see that in order to garner an AFTER-TAX return of 10% you'll need to put the risk of small-cap stocks heavily into your portfolio mix over a long period of time, otherwise 10% is quite difficult to attain.\n\nRules are great and assumption return rates are also great -- as long as you can actually achieve those returns.\n\nThe best way to achieve this type of return is to look to get a mixture of capital gains plus dividends into your portfolio return mix -- this way you're not reliant on the market shooting up 10% to get that return. An appreciation of 6% with dividends of 4% would do the trick for you, this is typically a more established company, not a 'small cap' company.

Of course, they happen every day. \n\nJust read this story:(found at the link below)\n\nMilwaukee-Emily the cat has racked up some major frequent flyer miles, and perhaps no longer has nine lives. But the stowaway cat is finally home in Wisconsin after being mistakenly shipped to France. \nEmily's odyssey began more than two months ago, when she snuck out and didn't return to her Appleton home.\n"At one point we had given up,"said Donny McElhiney, Emily's owner, "and just prayed that she was okay and being loved." But Emily was actually on her own, after she crawled into a nearby cargo container full of paper bales, which was trucked to New York and then shipped overseas. She survived without food and water for three weeks until that container was opened in France. When the company called the phone number on her tag, Emily's family was flabbergasted.\nHer family waited as the one-year-old tabby spent a month quarantined in France. Then Continental Airlines offered to fly Emily home free. Emily's owners say the ordeal has transformed their mischievous, skinny cat into a heavier, calmer pet.

how does the federal reserve system work?
The Federal Reserve's roles in conducting monetary policy, supervising banks, and providing payment services to depository institutions help it maintain the stability of the financial system.\n\nUsing the monetary policy tools at its disposal, the Federal Reserve can promote an environment of price stability and reasonably damped fluctuations in overall economic activity that helps foster the health and stability of financial institutions and markets. The Federal Reserve also helps foster financial stability through the supervision and regulation of several types of banking organizations to ensure their safety and soundness. In addition, the Federal Reserve operates certain key payment mechanisms and oversees the operation of the payment system more generally, with the goal of strengthening and stabilizing the system.\n\nThe Federal Reserve engages in all these activities on a routine basis, but the stabilization activities of a central bank are especially evident and critical during periods of financial stress, such as those that occurred following the stock market decline of October 1987, the international debt crisis in the fall of 1998, and the terrorist attacks in September 2001. In these instances, the Federal Reserve promoted financial system stability by providing ample liquidity (balances at the Federal Reserve) through large open market purchases of securities (using short-term repurchase agreements) and by extending discount window loans to depository institutions. In unusual and exigent circumstances, the Federal Reserve has the authority to lend to individuals, partnerships, and corporations, but it has never done so.

How shall I prepare to receive Jesus in my heart in this Christmas?
You don't need to "prepare", you only need to ask. He saves you because He loves you, not because of anything you do. We are all sinners, weather we believe in Jesus or not. The difference is that believers accept Jesus as their savior. Christians are not "better" than anyone else, we know we are sinners, we ask for forgiveness, and we believe in Christ - that's what Christianity is, no matter what anyone tells you. That other guy is right in his answer, too. It's good to read and fellowship (associate with) other Christians. God can direct you to a good church. If you believe in Jesus, you're going to heaven. It's that simple.

Do you think having SEX is the most important part of a relationship???
Be truthful here guys or gals...\n\nIve delt with many relationships and i honestly have to say without sex, it does get boring.\n\nSex does spicen up a relationship and i believe it can make the relationship last longer than it suppose to.\n\nGive me your ideas and thoughts about this topic.
A heterosexual relationship without sex is a platonic relationship - there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not the same as boyfriend/girlfriend. Sex is certainly not the most important part of a relationship - love is. If two partners love each other, they may want to express that love physically. I would think that a relationship without sex would probably fall apart, but so would a relationship that's only about sex. I've been there and while it was fun, it didn't last very long.
