so i am in a new relationship of 2 months now and we have alot of feelings for each other. I am 20 and he is a few years older. so he has told me that he has been unfaithful a quite a few times in past relationships and ofcourse this scared me and still scares me. I told my self i would never date someone who has been unfaithful cuz then its difficult to ultimately trust them which is a horrible thing to not trust someone. but he has said he is older now and over that stupid stuff he did. he says he really wants to be with me and he wants to make it really work with me. and from the look in his eyes and body language i believe him and trust him, also cuz i am very sensitive so i can feel how someone feels. but sometimes i still worry and think what if... so how do i ultimately trust my boyfriend so i can just move on and enjoy our relationship ???

would be great with some advice because i wonna feel good with him and make it work.

Hi there,

I was wandering if you could help me with a problem of mine, I’d be very very grateful.
Okay, so here it goes: Basically, I have a new ps3 slim 120 GB, offline is fine, I have 100 percent connection(wifi), but when I play online I get disconnected almost every game. But I only have 2 games. Gta Iv and Fifa 10. Both of them lag severely. And in Gta some players are invisible to me but visible to everybody else.

When I contacted my router manufacturer, they said it is not a problem with the router as I have an xbox 360 which works fine, and so does Gta on that. I have opened ports and put the ps3 into DMZ. I have also tried wired connection but nothing seemed to help. I think it may be the servers of the games, but then why is it affecting me, and not everyone.
So, please help me and reply. Because I have rang all the customer services, and not been helped at all. I really regret buying the ps3 now, those are my 2 favourite games, and I’m having problems. The 360(my brothers) works fine. Grr...

Please help, ty for reading.

There is a definite 3-dimensional aspect to the surface ( can feel by touch). When viewed under a magnifying glass, I don't see any uniform dot pattern (this was a method described on Antiques Roadshow to determine a reproduction painting). Brush marks are visible. I would like to know the title of the work and if it is indeed an original oil painting - or some type of reproduction. If you know how it was reproduced (the process), I would like to know that as well. Thanks.

Grady Wholesale Corporation is a reseller of electronics equipment such as personal computers, peripherals, and software. Grady purchases items in bulk from various manufacturers, repackages them into smaller lots and resells them to retailers for ultimate sale to consumers.

The company maintains its financial records manually. “The books” consist of special journals for sales, purchases of merchandise (made on account), cash receipts, cash disbursements, and a general journal (for all transactions that do not fit into one of the above categories), a general ledger, and subsidiary ledgers for accounts receivable and accounts payable (for merchandise purchases). Grady’s policy is to post entries made in the general journal to the general ledger on a daily basis. Entries made to the special journals (sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash disbursements) are posted to the general ledger at the end of the month. However, the subsidiary ledgers are updated on a daily basis. Check numbers, sales order numbers, and invoice numbers are used as the reference numbers for posting purposes.

Additional Information:

All sales to customers are made on account. No sales discounts are offered, and payments are due in 30 days. Bad debt expense is recorded at year-end at an amount equal to ½ of 1% (0.005) of sales.

A year-end examination of the accounts receivable determined that the receivable from Software Unlimited was not collectible and was written off.

On October 1, 2009, Grady accepted a $5,000, 1-year, 12% note from Kenny’s Computers. Interest will be paid when the note matures.

On January 2, 2009, Grady purchased (and paid for) a two-year fire insurance policy for $12,000.

The Company owns the building that serves as the company’s headquarters and warehouse, as well as the furniture and equipment within that building. All of these items were purchased several years ago, and no items are expected to have any salvage value at the end of their lives. At the time of purchase, the life of the building was determined to be 30 years, and the furniture and equipment’s life was estimated at 10 years. Grady uses straight-line depreciation for all of its assets.

Employees are paid twice monthly, with checks distributed on the 20th and the 5th of the following month (five days after the end of the pay period). The payroll is outsourced to Payrolls Unlimited, a company that not only makes all salary-related computations (gross wages, all deductions, and net wages) and prepares the paychecks, but also makes the payments to all third parties on behalf of the company. On the 4th and 19th of the month, the company notifies Grady of the amount of the gross payroll and any payroll taxes to be paid by the employer. Grady then remits a check for that amount, takes delivery of the paychecks and distributes them to the employees. The payroll summary indicates that the gross payroll for the period December 16 – December 31 was $17,000, and the employer’s share of the payroll taxes $1,326. A check for this amount will be written on January 4, 2010.

Grady uses a perpetual inventory system.

A year-end inventory of the office supplies showed a balance of $4,500.

In 2005, Grady borrowed $500,000 to expand their operations. The note is due on October 1, 2010, and carries an annual interest rate of 12%, payable on March 31 and September 30.

December, 2009 utility usage is $1,875. This bill is expected to be paid on January 15, 2010.

Grady’s income tax expense for 2009 is $97,340.

The November 30, 2009 balances in the accounts receivable and accounts payable are comprised of the following:
