So here it it : I had been drafted to go to war in Iraq. All of my friends were drafted as well, and about 5 of them where in my squad. We where stationed in a "not to nice" part of Baghdad and I was called out to search for bomb near a store. It was about 8 'o clock, so i wanted to get it over with. I went and searched all around and even in the store and found nothing. Then i overheard somebody say a bomb was under the store. i walked down the steps and opened the only door. I turned on the lights and started shouting, when i realized i was in the living room/kitchen of a small apartment. I told the residents i was looking for a bomb and they let me search the house. Nothing. I went back to the base and started to write a letter home, but didnt finish. I fell asleep. Then next day my squad and I where patrolling a street when we came under attack from all around us. We where given the orders to take cover. in a nearby building.I could only think I would never finish the letter home..

heres the problem

a set of numbers is said to be closed under a certain operation if, when you perfrom the operation any 2 #s in a set, the result is also in a set.

the set of real #s is closed under addition. This means that when you add any two real numbers, the sum is also a real #

is the set of real numbers closed under subtraction?

Half a lifetime ago when I read The Great Gatsby in highschool, our English teacher told us the name of the literary technique whereby an author captures the essence of an entire character with a single attribute - for instance, Daisy with her lilting, melodic voice - the voice that was "full of money!"

I suppose it could be said that Nabokov also captured Lolita with her name in that memorable opening passage... "She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock...[but] Dolores on the dotted line..."

I think it's a wonderful device and for several years I have struggled to remember the name of it, and have searched for it online to no avail. Can one of you fine English scholars help me remember?

Thank you!

Do you agree with a "Robin Hood" model in society? Do you think state should intervene and distribute the goods accordingly to its citizens? Do you think rich should sometimes be *punished* for being rich? I am excluding taxes since I am speaking of direct state intervention in every financial area. Even in the slightly capitalist era in the beginning years of Bolshevik regime when Lenin allowed Nepmen to exist, he charged them more, for example on education because they were better off than most of the population. Nepmen felt that the state was using them to remedy the results of the unsuccessful war communism policies and in the mean while punishing them for being capitalists on ideological pretexts.

I am not asking you whether it is substantial or impractical, I want you to express your opinions on this system from whichever perspective you want. It maybe from a religious,moral, juridical or philosophical perspective. Is this regime justifiable? If so, what accounts for it?

A few months ago, my grandmother passed away and left in her will that all the assets be divided up and distributed equally between her four children. For the past year while she's been in poor health, I've been living in her house taking care of it and watching over her things. After she passed away, I decided that i wanted to buy the house. As of right now, my aunt and her husband who live in Louisiana are making things difficult by saying they don't want me to live in the house, and won't pass approval on it. Can anyone explain to me what legal strategy or action I can take to ensure that i am entitled to buy the house?

If this seems vague, i'll try my best to clear things up through your questions. Yahoo answers has never let me down before, and i know you guys won't know. Thank you for hearing me out. God bless.

For anyone who is going to read this and has been in witchcraft i am sure that you will answer magick works because of the power of the mind. And i would agree. However, This to me would indicate that thoughts themselves contain some degree but i was curious as to prespectives on thoughts themselves contain power. Or for anyone who disagrees with my take but believes in witchcraft/ magick why do you feel it works

I was at work going getting breakfast like any other day when i saw fire engines passing by & was wondering what's going on & looked up & saw one of the towers in flames. I didn't even know the first plane hit yet & just thought it was an explosion of some sort in one of the floors. I said a prayer for those in there & went back to work. I saw a crowd around my co-worker with his small tv on & i saw it on time to see the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower. Only then did i finally realize what was happening. The rest is all history. :(

It's my best friend's wedding this weekend and I agreed to play a solo as part of her wedding ceremony. I'm just playing in the middle of it, not when she walks the aisle, or when she leaves, or during the unity candle lighting or vows... just the middle.

About a year ago I met a young man and before I knew it we became best friends, we would always hang out, call eachother etc. I never saw him as more than a friend. Then he confessed to me that he liked me as more than just a friend and that's when I started to set a distance between me and him... Although we still spoke to eachother I was obviously not so interested anymore and it wasn't the same as before. And even though i said "no" he kept on insisting and I became annoyed and was pretty mean towards him. We stopped speaking to eachother for a while. Now I look back on how GREAT he was and regret saying "no" to him and now i'm too embarassed to tell him what I really feel, maybe HE'LL reject me now. I've tried calling him once, we had a short convo, nothing serious though... I couldn't tell if he still feels the same... I was hoping that after calling him maybe he would call back, but he hasn't. I don't know if I should call back or go see him or what?! Can someone help please?

I took my dog to the vet with a sore paw and after a three minute consultation was charged £36 for an anti-inflam jab and one week's supply of antibiotics. As I sat in the waiting room I noticed several people paying even more for their own pets and most were in the consultation for just a few minutes. Am I being cynical or are vets overcharging for medications and consultations?
