What's the truth about the war in Iraq, you tell me! But first, check out this info.?

Alrighty now,\n\nA book was written recently about the NSA taps, actually many were, but CIA sources with FOX say that it got the facts about the intelligence pre-Iraq right. The book said that the head of the CIA didn't pass the no-WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) intelligence to Bush, but did give him the yes-WMD intelligence. \n\nHmmm.\n\nThis makes me wonder, as someone who honestly tries to look in the middle of the politics- I'm no far right, and I'm no far left. \n\nThe major point of debate has been the war in Iraq, and rightly so- we went in on faulty intelligence, and if Bush was at fault, we should certainly give him what for.\n\nBut let's give Bush the benefit of the doubt- just for a second.\n\nWe went into the war in Iraq on yes-there-are-WMDs-in-Iraq intelligence given to him by the head of the CIA. The same head of CIA didn't give him the no-there-are-not-WMDs-in-Iraq intelligence. \n\nThus, was it his fault? \n\nI think a lot of you owe Mr. Bush an apology.\n\nCome, debate...\n\n~Zac

For the best review of what other intelligence agencies though about Iraq having WMD, as well to see all the comments that Democrats made regarding Iraq’s WMD program, read the article “Who is Lying About Iraq”, byt By Norman Podhoretz\nCommentaryMagazine.com | November 11, 2005. Here are two points, supported by quotes from Podhoretz’s article.\n\n1: No major nation disagreed with the pre-war intelligence that Iraq had WMD. \n“In the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) of 2002, where their collective views were summarized, one of the conclusions offered with “high confidence” was that Iraq is continuing, and in some areas expanding its chemical, biological, nuclear, and missile programs contrary to UN resolutions. The intelligence agencies of Britain, Germany, Russia, China, Israel, and—yes—France all agreed with this judgment.”\n\n2.The view that Iraq has WMD was widely held by the Clinton Administration, and prior to Bush’s presidency, many leading Democrats were pushing for action against Iraq.\n\nHere is his Secretary of State Madeline Albright, also speaking in 1998:\n\n“Iraq is a long way from [the USA], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risk that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”\n\nHere is Sandy Berger, Clinton’s National Security Adviser, who chimed in at the same time with this flat-out assertion about Saddam:\n\n“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.”\nSenator Hillary Rodham Clinton speaking in October 2002:\n\n“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical- and biological-weapons stock, his missile-delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al-Qaeda members.”\n\nFinally, Clinton’s Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, was so sure Saddam had stockpiles of WMD that he remained “absolutely convinced” of it even after our failure to find them in the wake of the invasion in March 2003.\n\nThe best in the intelligence community were all convinced that Saddam had WMD. Even Saddam was convinced he had WMD, since it has been discovered since the war that his own intelligence people were misleading him about the state of their programs. \nBush went to the UN with all this information, yet the UN is incapable of dealing with famine in 3rd world countries, never mind issues of war. It was not the UN that was targeted by Saddam’s regime, and it was not the UN that had the responsibility of keeping the United States safe. We won the war in record time, and now are fighting an insurgency that is mostly fueled by Al Qaeda fighters. The vast majority of attacts in Iraq are carried out by foreigners. This is supported by the recent arrests in Spain of people recruiting for the Insurgency. This means that the war against Terrorism is very real in Iraq right now. It also means that terrorists who would be trying to blow American’s up at home, are focused elsewhere. That alone is a very good thing. \n\nI am tired of people who supported the war for years, now opposing it so they can try to win more votes. Many of my friends have fought, and been injured, in Iraq. Not one of them believes we should not have gone to war, and not one thinks we should pull out now.

Why do Christians nowadays find it hard to follow Jesus' example of a holy life?

I know we as humans aren't perfect, but why don't we give it a try, following Jesus' steps? After all, Paul the Apostle said we'll have trials, but in these we'd find peace, joy in Christ.

There are as many excuses as there are poor Christians. Where mediocrity is allowed or tolerated, mediocrity will flourish - people are sluggards. (As long as we are talking in generalities.) When a teacher raises the test standards, the class' average scores increase - the teacher does not make the students smarter; when the hurdle is higher, you've got to work a bit harder to clear it. If the standards are lowered, some self-starters will continue to excel, but the tendency will be for students to put forth less effort.\n\nThe example of Jesus' life is extreme. What He asked of His disciples was extreme - pick up a cross & follow Him - most of them suffered & died for the faith. What He asks of His disciples today is extreme - pick up a cross & follow Him - the cross being a symbol of suffering unto death.\n\nPeople are accepted in congregations if they are nominal Christians - be a pew-warmer & donate some money. An hour Sunday morning is usually enough - the rest of Sunday and the rest of the week is your own time to do what ya wanna (as long as it is fairly legal & fairly ethical).\n\nPeople are told to "believe" & be saved. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." [Romans 10:13] They are told, you don't have to "do." "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." [Ephesions 2:8-9] They are told what you do or don't do won't save you, so it doesn't matter what you do... just "believe." The denominations grow (or keep, or try to minimize their dwindling numbers) by offering cheap grace. Cheap grace [a term coined by Dietrich Bonhoeffer] is forgiveness w/o repentance, expecting the Grace of God w/o discipline & Lordship discipleship, grabs the benefits w/o taking any responsibility, it takes grace for granted, even a "do it now - ask for forgiveness later" mentality.\n\nOhYa, most denominations will put some more requirements on believers - you must be baptized, you should read the Bible & pray.... But when is the last time you were told one of the signs of a believer is one who loves God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, & all your strength - all your being. [Deuteronomy 6:5; Deuteronomy 10:12; Deuteronomy 11:13; Deuteronomy 13:3; Deuteronomy 30:6; Joshua 22:5; Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30; Mark 12:33; Luke 10:27 - evidently God thought is was worth repeating] Or, the believers' delight "is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." [Psalm 1:2] "Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your Torah." [Psalm 119:18] How about a circumcised heart where the Torah/Law/Commandments are written so you live them like Jesus lived them?\n\nHow many ~Marcion~ Christians read Luke 24:45 "And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures," and then just read the NT? "The Scriptures" which the followers of the Messiah must understand are the OT!\n\nSo, what does the NT say about the 10 Commandments (which Christianity has watered down)? Watered-down? When is the last time you kept the Sabbath holy? A scheduled appointment [so many "Christians" don't even know when the Sabbath starts] by God; a whole day, not just 1 hour a week or so.\n\n"If ye love me, keep my commandments." [John 14:15] This is the Word of God, the Word made flesh, the Word Who was with God & is God before creation. The Word was given to Moses; he wrote it in the Torah - the first 5 books of the Bible - which includes the 10 Commandments. The perfect & unchanging Word from the perfect & unchanging God.\n\nApostle Paul, defending himself to Felix the governor against the false charges of High Priest Ananias & Tertullus, an attorney: "But this I confess unto thee, that after the way [i.e. following Messiah] which they [i.e.

what is the anacardium-personality ?

Split Personality of Anacardium \n-- Dr. Manish Bhatia\n \n \nThe Anacardium patient does not merely shows the characteristics of split personality but instead it shows a complete picture of Schizophrenia. Before dealing with the mental picture of Anacardium, it is necessary to understand what are the basic characters of a split personality or a schizophrenic patient. So for the same reason, I quote the following text from the book "Introduction to Psychology" by ‘Hilgard and Atkinson’:\n\n"The word ‘schizophrenic’ is derived from the Greek word schizen ("to split") and phren ("mind"). The split does not refer to multiple personalities, but rather to a splitting of the thought process from emotions. The primary characteristics of schizophrenia can be summarized as under:\n\nDisturbance of affect: The schizophrenic does not show emotions in a normal way. He usually appears dull and pathetic, or he may display inappropriate emotions. \nWithdrawal from active interchange with the realistic environment: The schizophrenic loses interest in the people and events around him. \nAutism: Withdrawal from reality is usually accompanied by absorption in an inner fantasy world. The state of self-absorption is known as autism. \nDelusion and hallucination: The most common delusions of the schizophrenic are the beliefs that external forces are trying to control his thoughts and actions (delusions of influence) or that certain people or groups are persecuting him (delusion of persecution). Auditory hallucinations are more common than visual ones-the schizophrenic frequently hears voices. When persecutory delusions or hallucinations are predominant, the person is called paranoid. He may become suspicious of friends or relatives, fear that they are poisoning him, complain that he is being watched, followed and talked about. \nBizarre behavior: the schizophrenic’s behavior may include peculiar gestures, movements, and repetitive acts that make no sense to the observer but are closely related to the schizophrenics fantasy world. \nDisturbed thought process." \nAfter this basic discussion on schizophrenia, the mental symptoms of Anacardium are being listed in rubric forms. After going through the psychologists view-point given above and that of the homeopaths observation being listed below, no wise man will be left in any doubt as to the extent to which Anacardium presents the picture of split personality/ schizophrenia. \n\nThe mental symptoms of Anacardium depicting the Schizophrenic traits are:\n\nAnxiety:\n\nPursued as if, when walking \n\nBeside oneself, being \n\nCaress:\n\nCaressing husband and child, then pushes away \n\nChaotic, confused behavior \n\nConfusion of mind \n\nIdentity: duality, sense of\n\nContradict, disposition to\n\nDelusions/ Illusions/ Hallucinations:\n\nBed, someone is in, with him \n\nCall someone \n\nWith name, the absent mother or sister \n\nChild, is not hers \n\nDead, corpse on a bier, he himself was \n\nDead persons, sees \n\nDevil, he is \n\nDevil speaking in one ear, angel in the other, prompting to murder \n\nDouble, of being \n\nHusband, he is not her \n\nMind and body are separated \n\nPeople, sees \n\nBehind him, someone is \n\nPersecuted, he is \n\nPerson is in the room, another \n\nPossessed, being \n\nSoul, body was too small for \n\nSoul, body separated from \n\nSuperhuman control, is under \n\nThree persons, he is \n\nVoices, hears \n\nCalling his name \n\nWills, possessed of two \n\nDream, as if in a \n\nDuality, sense of \n\nFear, apprehension \n\nBehind, someone is \n\nDevil, of being taken by \n\nPeople, of \n\nPoisoned, of being \n\nGestures, automatic \n\nMemory, weakness of \n\nNames, for proper \n\nPersons, for \n\nRead, for what has \n\nSeen, for everything he has \n\nWord, of \n\nMistakes \n\nConfounds future with past \n\nPresent with future \n\nMood, alternating \n\nRecognize: relatives, does not recognize his \n\nStrange, everything seems

Does anyone know???

I am having problems with my commitment to God...Not that I don't love him and all I just don't know how to get back to where it was before..Let me explaine more... At my "Old" church (I am yet to find a new one) The song and worship leader inapropriatly touched a teenage girl..They had him leave but a month later he was back(because the pastor didn't want to lead song and worship!) and they told the girl not to come back! Thats wrong I tried to stay there but I felt like they were no longer going to be in Gods will So I left the church! Now I cant find a new church and I feel like I am loosing my relationship with God!!! I just don't know what to do other than pray about it! Anyone???Thank You!

I too faced a similar situation where bad things happened at my "old church" and I ended up leaving it. At the time I was immiture in my walk and I ended up turning away from God for a period of time. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. What I should have done was seek him more than ever before. \n\nAt that time I felt like I was going against God becasue I didn't agree with what was going on at the church. This couldn't have been farther from the truth. The truth is we live in a fallen world and people do make mistakes. Even those we look up to and count on are not perfect. They too can dissapoint us. What happened at your church was very wrong. If you want to stay that's fine, but if you feel lead to leave, that is perfectly fine too. As you pray about it God will speak to your heart. Don't be afraid to listen to him. The important thing to remember is that people are people and God is God. People make mistakes but that doesn't change who God is. He is still perfect. He still loves you like crazy. And He never changes. No matter what is going on around you or how you feel, God is still the same.\n\nRight now you are going through a time of testing in your walk with God. You're right if you want to leave your old church, and if you continue to trust God He will lead you to another, the right one where He wants you to be. However you don't know yet because before He does He's allowing you to go through this time of testing. Will you trust God still even though you don't have an answer yet?\n\nRemember God promises "I will never leave you or forsake you" ((Heb 13:5)\n\nRight now I'm reading a book called The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I highly recommend you check it out during this time in your life. It is changing my life. It's a popular book you can get at Wal-Mart or any bookstore Christian or otherwise.\n\nDay 14 is titled "When God Seems Distant." Here are a few quotes I highlighted as I read it. They might help you out.\n\n"God is real no matter how you feel."\n\n"The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting him when tempted, surrendering while suffering, and loving him when he seems distant."\n\n"But often this feeling of abandonment or estrangement has nothing to do with sin. It is a test of faith - one we all must face: Will you continue to love, trust, obey, and worship God, even when you have no sense of his presence or visible evidence of his work in your life?"\n\n"God ios always present, even when you are unaware of him, and his presence is too profound to measure by mere emotion. Yes, he wants you to sense his presence, but he's more concerned that you trust him than that you feel him. Faith, not feelings pleases God."\n\n"Tell God exactly how you feel. Pour out your heart to God. Unload every emotion that you're feeling...God can handle your doubt, anger, fear, grief, confusion, and questions."\n\n"Never dubt in the dark what God told you in the light."\n\n"Trust God to keep his promises. During times of spiritual dryness you must patiently rely on the promises of God, not your emotions, and realize that he is taking you to a deeper level of maturity...so don't be troubled by trouble. Circumstances cannot change the character of God."\n\n"When you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way." \n\nHope this helps. Just never forget that God will never leave you and He will get you through this time. You will come out of it stronger in Him than ever.\n\nMany blessings!

DO you ever heard about O-YES. An Operating system?

hello frns Some time ago i got this mail. i just wanna to know is this a fake news or true. I search google and nothing found satisfactory.\n\nthe mail is\n\nBe proud......Breaking news!!! Bill gates Challenged by an Indian!!!\n\nJust one INDIAN is challenging against Bill gates...... This is not\nonly ground breaking news; it's space-breaking news indeed.\n\nRamlal Bhagat, a XII std. student from Haryana, has developed a 32-bit\noperating system demonstrated to be far superior to any of the desktop operating systems in the market today.\n\nprogram has been named\n"O-Yes". O-Yes provides operating system services on any\nPentium-based Personal computer (PC) and does not\nrequire MS- DOS as a base operating system.\n\nThe operating system's capabilities were demonstrated in a student\nconvention at the Indian Institute of\nTechnology (IIT), New Delhi. HCL Ltd. \n\nO -Yes is 34% faster than Microsoft's Windows 95 on similar hardware.\nIt is 29% faster than IBM's OS/2. O-Yes loads 54% quicker than Windows

Long Story Short : Its a hoax\nThis story has been doing rounds in the net way back 9 years ago, in 1997 when the story was published in Times Of India on 21 February, 1997. You can check the date at http://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.indian/msg/a8da930145866c1d\nI don't have the thumbnails of the OS at present, but when I saw it, I recognized immediately that it was Mandrake, a flavour of Linux, in reality, with the desktop wallpaper changed. \n\nIf the origin of the story is not a hoax, then following is my version : The student had taken Mandrake, might have made changes in the source code to rename Mandrake with O-Yes and recompiled it. Such custom distros are available freely on net, where you can change the name. Mandrake in those days was certainly better than Windows 95, so here's how the story propogated. But the funny part is the name of the OS itself. Why on earth would he keep a name like that. Even if the first paragraph is believeble, the second paragraph removes any doubt for this mail to be true. This article was again published in Times of India around 2003, twice.\n\nAnother website was set up http://oyes.does.it. When someone ever accessed it, it gave the message "O-YES, You are our latest Bakra. # 945", with the number incrementing. The official site of this OS is http://oyes.thefreebizhost.com/, down for the last 2 years\n\nI can assure you there is going to be another round of such hoaxes. Just 2 days ago, i.e. 4th January 2006, Pratham Kumar, a student from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Gujarat purchased the domain http://ramlalbhagat.com/. I actually ran a WHOIS query to see who owned the domain. He has even kept the page title as 'O Yes'. Contact him at pratham.kumar@gmail.com if you want to ask, when is the next round of hoax mails coming.\n\nHope this gives a detailed info on the hoax. Some other interesting places to study about it include :\n\nhttp://hindustan.net/discus/messages/60/13420.html?1134658861\nhttp://hindustan.net/discus/messages/60/13641.html?1091625286\nhttp://techmount.com/index.php/20041024/o-yes/\nhttp://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.indian/msg/a8da930145866c1d\nhttp://www.mail-archive.com/ilug-cal@ilug-cal.org/msg10070.html\nhttp://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/1450/\nhttp://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:-JSPCMALB5kJ:www.barficulture.com/community/biztech/topic.php/2110/+oyes%2Bthefreebizhost.com&hl=en\nhttp://www.xent.com/FoRK-archive/jan99/0415.html\nhttp://plug.org.in/pipermail/plug-mail/2004-September/013006.html\nhttp://www.vinuthomas.com/printout210.html\nhttp://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:-JSPCMALB5kJ:www.barficulture.com/community/biztech/topic.php/2110/+oyes%2Bthefreebizhost.com&hl=en

You can check the date at http://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.indian/msg/a8da930145866c1d\nI don't have the thumbnails of the OS at present, but when I saw it, I recognized immediately that it was Mandrake, a flavour of Linux, in reality, with the desktop wallpaper changed. \n\nIf the origin of the story is not a hoax, then following is my version : The student had taken Mandrake, might have made changes in the source code to rename Mandrake with O-Yes and recompiled it. Such custom distros are available freely on net, where you can change the name. Mandrake in those days was certainly better than Windows 95, so here's how the story propogated. But the funny part is the name of the OS itself. Why on earth would he keep a name like that. Even if the first paragraph is believeble, the second paragraph removes any doubt for this mail to be true. This article was again published in Times of India around 2003, twice.\n\nAnother website was set up http://oyes.does.it. When someone ever accessed it, it gave the message "O-YES, You are our latest Bakra. # 945", with the number incrementing. The official site of this OS is http://oyes.thefreebizhost.com/, down for the last 2 years\n\nI can assure you there is going to be another round of such hoaxes. Just 2 days ago, i.e. 4th January 2006, Pratham Kumar, a student from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Gujarat purchased the domain http://ramlalbhagat.com/. I actually ran a WHOIS query to see who owned the domain. He has even kept the page title as 'O Yes'. Contact him at pratham.kumar@gmail.com if you want to ask, when is the next round of hoax mails coming.\n\nHope this gives a detailed info on the hoax. Some other interesting places to study about it include :\n\nhttp://hindustan.net/discus/messages/60/13420.html?1134658861\nhttp://hindustan.net/discus/messages/60/13641.html?1091625286\nhttp://techmount.com/index.php/20041024/o-yes/\nhttp://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.indian/msg/a8da930145866c1d\nhttp://www.mail-archive.com/ilug-cal@ilug-cal.org/msg10070.html\nhttp://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/1450/\nhttp://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:-JSPCMALB5kJ:www.barficulture.com/community/biztech/topic.php/2110/+oyes%2Bthefreebizhost.com&hl=en\nhttp://www.xent.com/FoRK-archive/jan99/0415.html\nhttp://plug.org.in/pipermail/plug-mail/2004-September/013006.html\nhttp://www.vinuthomas.com/printout210.html\nhttp://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:-JSPCMALB5kJ:www.barficulture.com/community/biztech/topic.php/2110/+oyes%2Bthefreebizhost.com&hl=en

I am a Libra and for some reason I have always only dated Libras. Are we compatable?

Should I be lokking for a different sign to date, cause my relationships always turn out bad. I know it has to do with alot more than our signs,but maybe I should find another one.

here:\nLibra Love Matches\nMost compatible with Aquarius, Gemini, Libra\nCan be good with Scorpio, Sagittarius, Leo, Virgo \nA 50-50 chance with Pisces, Taurus\nDoubtful with Capricorn, Aries, Cancer\n\nLibra And Aries\nWhile they're immediately attracted to each other, tensions also immediately arise. Libra looks for harmony and peace, while restless Aries aggressively seeks new challenges and new worlds to conquer. Libra considers Aries rude and tactless; Aries thinks Libra hopelessly unwilling to face facts. Aries needs to feel independent but wants unquestioning fidelity from its partner, and can't forgive Libra's indecisiveness about making a commitment. Passionate Aries is also offended by Libra's shallow emotions. Physical rapport is wonderful for a while but then what? \n\nLibra And Taurus\nThis couple shares a love of music and art, but hasn't much else in common. Taurus is a homebody, which bores Libra, who likes to shine socially. Libra spends lots of money on luxuries, Taurus advocates financial caution. Libra dislikes Taurus's dictatorial ways and quickly loses patience with Taurus's stodgy attitudes. To boot, Taurus is jealous of Libra's romantic and fickle nature. They are s+e+xually in tune, but when the song is ended the malady lingers on. \n\nLibra And Gemini \nPleasure-loving Libra and high-spirited Gemini are an ideal mating. Both are curious, vivacious, and affectionate. For them, love is a carousel that never stops. True, the fun and games are more frolicsome than deeply passionate, but these two don't care as long as they're having fun. No jealousy or possessiveness will spoil their good times. Both tend to be quite indecisive, so there will be lots of discussion but not a lot of action. However, both know how to use charm to get other people to do things for them. \n\nLibra And Cancer\nCancer might eventually understand Libra's romantic nature, but Cancer is too cautious to press indecisive Libra for the emotional response it needs. Disappointed at Libra's shallowness, Cancer turns sharply critical, and those crab-claws cut deep. Money-oriented Cancer is also annoyed by Libra's extravagance. Libra loves the glittering social life; Cancer is happiest in the warmth of its own home. Problems might be solved in time, but the wait usually isn't worth it. \n\nLibra And Leo\nLibra's amorous playfulness blends marvelously with Leo's dash and energy. Leo's generous, expansive sensuality really lights Libra's fire, and the thermometer moves up to torrid. Libra does have to approach Leo carefully on matters involving ego, but that won't be a problem for tactful Libra. In a real conflict, Libra knows how to yield gracefully. Together they share a love of luxury, going to parties, and creating a beautiful home that serves as a stage setting for these two stars.\n\nLibra And Virgo\nLibra is too affectionate and frivolous for emotionally inhibited Virgo, who takes love very seriously. Virgo won't express flowery admiration, which is the stuff of life to Libra. Stay-at-home Virgo resents Libra's socialbutterfly instincts and pursuit of pleasure. Libra's tastes are expensive. Virgo is careful, not to say miserly. Libra finds Virgo fussy, critical, completely inflexible. Love will have a short season for these two. \n\nLibra And Libra\nEqually demonstrative, lively, warm, sociable, in love with beautiful things, they enjoy pleasing each other in s+e+xual ways. But with these two there's a great sense of playing at love. A problem is that neither wants to face reality. Though they are charming, peace-loving, and adaptable, each needs a stronger balance than the other can provide. Also, because they are so much alike, the specter of boredom lurks around the edges. But if both of them can find enough outside stimulation to whet their appetites, this can be an interesting liaison.\n\nLibra And Scorpio\nAt first, Scorpio's intensit

Instant Mailing on Web Page Submission....!!!?

does anyone knows how to create a web site registration page to do the following:\n\nwhen u fill the form and pressing the button, it automatically sends an email to the address the user provided.(not using a program like outlook express) I am talking about instant emailing like the ones you saw in many web sites.

There are lots of ways, but they all (as far as I am aware) require a program to run on the web server. The first step is to find out what languages are available with your hosting package. Virtually all hosting packages allow Perl/CGI scripts. http://www.scriptarchive.com/ is a good source of free, useful perl scripts. FORMMAL could be altered to send an email from you to the address entered in the web page, if you can figure out the relatively simple code.\n\nHere's links to a bunch more form processing scripts:\nhttp://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Form_Processing/\n\nOr you can just use this, which I made here:\nhttp://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/\nand then modified a teensy bit.

pls send me the english lyrics of the poem "mi ultimo adios" by Philippine hero Jose Rizal.. pls...???

The Last Farewell (English version of Mi Ultimo Adios) by Jose Rizal\n\nFarewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed, \nPearl of the Orient Sea, our Eden lost,\nWith gladness I give you my Life, sad and repressed;\nAnd were it more brilliant, more fresh and at its best,\nI would still give it to you for your welfare at most.\n\nOn the fields of battle, in the fury of fight,\nOthers give you their lives without pain or hesitancy,\nThe place does not matter: cypress laurel, lily white,\nScaffold, open field, conflict or martyrdom's site,\nIt is the same if asked by home and Country.\n\nI die as I see tints on the sky b'gin to show\nAnd at last announce the day, after a gloomy night;\nIf you need a hue to dye your matutinal glow,\nPour my blood and at the right moment spread it so,\nAnd gild it with a reflection of your nascent light! \n\nMy dreams, when scarcely a lad adolescent,\nMy dreams when already a youth, full of vigor to attain,\nWere to see you, gem of the sea of the Orient,\nYour dark eyes dry, smooth brow held to a high plane\nWithout frown, without wrinkles and of shame without stain.\n\nMy life's fancy, my ardent, passionate desire,\nHail! Cries out the soul to you, that will soon part from thee;\nHail! How sweet 'tis to fall that fullness you may acquire;\nTo die to give you life, 'neath your skies to expire,\nAnd in your mystic land to sleep through eternity!\n\nIf over my tomb some day, you would see blow,\nA simple humble flow'r amidst thick grasses,\nBring it up to your lips and kiss my soul so,\nAnd under the cold tomb, I may feel on my brow,\nWarmth of your breath, a whiff of your tenderness.\n\nLet the moon with soft, gentle light me descry,\nLet the dawn send forth its fleeting, brilliant light,\nIn murmurs grave allow the wind to sigh,\nAnd should a bird descend on my cross and alight,\nLet the bird intone a song of peace o'er my site.\n\nLet the burning sun the raindrops vaporize\nAnd with my clamor behind return pure to the sky;\nLet a friend shed tears over my early demise;\nAnd on quiet afternoons when one prays for me on high,\nPray too, oh, my Motherland, that in God may rest I.\n\nPray thee for all the hapless who have died,\nFor all those who unequalled torments have undergone;\nFor our poor mothers who in bitterness have cried;\nFor orphans, widows and captives to tortures were shied,\nAnd pray too that you may see your own redemption.\n\nAnd when the dark night wraps the cemet'ry\nAnd only the dead to vigil there are left alone,\nDon't disturb their repose, don't disturb the mystery:\nIf you hear the sounds of cittern or psaltery,\nIt is I, dear Country, who, a song t'you intone.\n\nAnd when my grave by all is no more remembered,\nWith neither cross nor stone to mark its place,\nLet it be plowed by man, with spade let it be scattered\nAnd my ashes ere to nothingness are restored,\nLet them turn to dust to cover your earthly space.\n\nThen it doesn't matter that you should forget me:\nYour atmosphere, your skies, your vales I'll sweep;\nVibrant and clear note to your ears I shall be:\nAroma, light, hues, murmur, song, moanings deep,\nConstantly repeating the essence of the faith I keep.\n\nMy idolized Country, for whom I most gravely pine,\nDear Philippines, to my last goodbye, oh, harken\nThere I leave all: my parents, loves of mine,\nI'll go where there are no slaves, tyrants or hangmen\nWhere faith does not kill and where God alone does reign.\n\nFarewell, parents, brothers, beloved by me,\nFriends of my childhood, in the home distressed;\nGive thanks that now I rest from the wearisome day;\nFarewell, sweet stranger, my friend, who brightened my way;\nFarewell, to all I love. To die is to rest.

how does doxycycline work?

ENERIC NAME: doxycycline\nBRAND NAME: Vibramycin\n\nDRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Doxycycline is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from tetracycline. It is effective against a wide variety of bacteria, such as Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoea, and many others.\n\nPRESCRIPTION: yes\n\nGENERIC AVAILABLE: yes\n\nPREPARATIONS: Capsules: 50mg, 100mg; Tablets: 100mg; Suspension: 25 mg/teaspoon; Syrup: 50 mg/teaspoon.\n\nSTORAGE: Capsules should be kept below 30°C (86°F). The suspension should be refrigerated and shaken prior to each use.\n\nPRESCRIBED FOR: Doxycycline is used for many different types of infections, including respiratory tract infections due to Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It also is used for the treatment of nongonococcal urethritis (due to Ureaplasma), Rocky mountain spotted fever, typhus, chancroid, cholera, brucellosis, anthrax, syphilis, and acne.\n\nDOSING: The absorption of doxycycline is not markedly affected by food, and therefore, it can be taken with meals. For most infections, doxycycline is taken once or twice daily for 7 to 14 days. Sometimes, the first dose is given as a "double dose," that is, twice as large as the remainder of the doses.\n\nDRUG INTERACTIONS: It is recommended that doxycycline not be taken at the same time as aluminum-, magnesium-, or calcium- based antacids, such as Mylanta, Maalox, Tums, or Rolaids because, like food, these medications bind doxycycline in the intestine. Similarly, doxycycline should not be taken with minerals (such as calcium or iron), with bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol).\n\nDoxycycline may enhance the activity of warfarin (Coumadin) and cause excessive "thinning" of the blood, necessitating a reduction in the dose of warfarin. Phenytoin (Dilantin), carbamazepine (Tegretol), and barbiturates (such as phenobarbital) may enhance the metabolism (destruction) of doxycycline thus making it less effective.\n\nPREGNANCY: Tetracycline antibiotics, such as doxycycline, can have toxic effects on development of bone in the fetus. Therefore, tetracyclines are not recommended during pregnancy unless there is no other appropriate antibiotic.\n\nNURSING MOTHERS: Doxycycline is secreted into breast milk. Since tetracyclines can cause decreased bone, the use of tetracyclines in nursing mothers is of concern. The physician must decide whether to recommend that a nursing mother discontinue nursing during treatment with tetracyclines or to choose a different antibiotic.\n\nSIDE EFFECTS: Doxycycline is generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects are diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Tetracyclines, such as doxycycline, may cause tooth discoloration if used in persons below 8 years of age. Exaggerated sunburn can occur with tetracyclines; therefore, sunlight should be minimized during treatment.\n\n. What is doxycycline?\n\nDoxycycline is an antibiotic medicine belonging to the class called "tetracyclines." It is used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. It does not treat viral infections, such as the common cold.\n\n2. Is doxycycline approved to treat anthrax?\n\nDoxycycline is approved to treat anthrax in all its forms [inhaled (lung), skin, stomach and intestinal].\n\n3. Can medicines in the same class as doxycycline be used to prevent or treat anthrax?\n\nOther drugs in the tetracycline class carry a broad indication for illnesses caused by the anthrax organism (Bacillus anthracis). Because the most up-to-date information about appropriate dosing following exposure to anthrax is available for Cipro (ciprofloxacin), doxycycline, and penicillin G procaine, use of these three drugs has been recommended.\n\nAntibiotic therapy should only be started in the case of suspected or confirmed exposure to anthrax.

BURN!! \nBedevere: And what do you burn apart from witches? \nVillager: More Witches! \nOther Villager: Wood. \nBedevere: So. Why do witches burn? \n\n(long silence) \n(shuffling of feet by the villagers) \n\nVillager: (tentatively) Because they're made of.....wood? \nBedevere: Goooood! \nOther Villagers: oh yeah... oh.... \nBedevere: So.

What is your favorite movie?Monty Python and the Holy Grail.\n\nVillager: We have found a witch, may we burn her? \nCrowd: BURN!! BUUUURN HER! \nBedevere: But how do you *know* she is a witch? \nVillager: She looks like one! \nOther Villagers: Yeah! She looks like one!!! \nBedevere: Bring her forward. \n\n(a young woman is pushed through the crowd of villagers to the platform. She \nis dressed all in black, has a carrot tied around her face on top of her nose, \nand a black paper hat on her head. She talks funny because her nose is \nclosed by the carrot.) \n\nWitch: I'm not a witch, I'm not a witch! \nBedevere: Er,...but you are dressed as one. \nWitch: THEY dressed me up like this. \nVillagers: No! nooo! We didn't! We didn't! \nWitch: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one! \n\n(Bedevere lifts up the carrot to reveal the woman's real nose, which is in \nfact rather small.) \n\nBedevere: Well? \nOne Villager: Well, we did do the nose. \nBedevere: The nose? \nVillager: And the Hat.

is tupac really dead?

convincing details either way would be nice, real or made up.

For his death\n\nhttp://www.celebritymorgue.com/tupac-shakur/\n\nAgainst his death\n\n Friday the 13th is a very suspicious day. \n\nThere were never any pictures released of Tupac in the hospital. \n\nIn the song "Life Goes On", Tupac raps about his own funeral. \n\nThe driver of the car in which Tupac was riding, Suge Knight (the executive producer of Death Row Records), didn't show up for questioning about the shooting. \n\nThe video "I ain't Mad at Cha" was released only a few days after his death. "I ain't Mad at Cha" is track 13 on the album All Eyes On Me. The video shows Tupac as an angel in heaven. In the video, Tupac was shot after leaving a theater with a friend, which is very similar to how he was shot in real life. Interestingly, Tupac dies in his last video released under the name "Tupac". His new video "Toss It Up" from the new album was released under the name "Makaveli". \n\nThe second video to be released by the name Makaveli is "To Live and Die in L.A." But how could they shoot the second video when he is "dead". Do you really think the video was shot 4 months ago, back in August of '96? Think about it. \n\nIn the video "Hail Mary" released under the name Makaveli, there is a gravestone that says Makaveli. But the gravestone is cracked and there is a hole right in front of it, inferring that Makaveli rose from the dead. \n\nA shooting involving Snoop Doggy Dogg occured close to the release of his album Doggystyle. The shooting made Snoop appear more "real" and showed his fans that he really was a gangsta. The shooting gave him respect because everyone that bought his album believed what he was talking about. Within one week of its release, Doggystyle went platnium. Snoop is signed to the same label as Tupac which is Death Row Records. In December '96, Tupac's new album went platinum. \n\nIn interviews prior to the shooting, Tupac talked about how he wanted to stop rapping and being a gangsta and get out of the limelight. What is the only way Tupac could completly escape the media spotlight ??? (Answer: if the public thought he was dead.) \n\nThere are no suspects for the shooting. \n\n Press wasn't going to be allowed at the funeral, but then the funeral was cancelled for unknown reasons. \n\nTupac always wore a bulletproof vest, no matter where he went. Why didn't he wear it to a very public event like a Tyson fight? (Because he wanted to make it seem like he could be shot.) \n\nIn most of his songs he talks about being buried, so why was he allegedly cremated the day after he "died"? And since when do they cremate someone the day after death without an autopsy? Furthermore, it is illegal to bury someone who has been murdered without an autopsy. \n\nThe new Tupac album released on Nov. 5, and was originally supposed to be an EP of 6 songs, but was then extended to a full length album of 12 songs. \n\nTupac's alias is Makaveli. Though the spelling is different, Machiavelli was a 16th century italian philosopher who advocated the staging of one's death in order to evade one's enemies and gain power. \n\nIn Machiavelli's book Discourses Upon the First Ten Books of Titus Livy, in Book 2 Chapter XIII he says "a prince who wishes to achieve great things must learn to deceive". This is Machiavelli's main idea and is the connection between Tupac and the writings of Machiavelli. \n\nThe title of the new album by Makaveli (Tupac) is The 7 Day Theory. He was shot on September 7th; and survived on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and"died" the 13th. Hence the title The 7 Day Theory. \n\nTupac's album All Eyes on Me was released on Feb.13, 1996. Tupac "died" on Sept.13, 1996. It is quite a coincidence that the two dates are exactly 7 months apart.\n\n\nYOU DECIDE!

is tupac really dead?convincing details either way would be nice, real or made up.For his death\n\nhttp://www.celebritymorgue.com/tupac-shakur/\n\nAgainst his death\n\n Friday the 13th is a very suspicious day. \n\nThere were never any pictures released of Tupac in the hospital. \n\nIn the song "Life Goes On", Tupac raps about his own funeral. \n\nThe driver of the car in which Tupac was riding, Suge Knight (the executive producer of Death Row Records), didn't show up for questioning about the shooting. \n\nThe video "I ain't Mad at Cha" was released only a few days after his death. "I ain't Mad at Cha" is track 13 on the album All Eyes On Me. The video shows Tupac as an angel in heaven. In the video, Tupac was shot after leaving a theater with a friend, which is very similar to how he was shot in real life. Interestingly, Tupac dies in his last video released under the name "Tupac". His new video "Toss It Up" from the new album was released under the name "Makaveli". \n\nThe second video to be released by the name Makaveli is "To Live and Die in L.A."

Rules for Rugby?

some of the studenst are starting a rugby scrimmage night at our school but nobody knows all of the rules, so if you can give me some of the basics that would be great

Good for you...I think rugby is the greatest sport and love watching it (Go ALL BLACKS!!!)! There are A LOT of rules from the IRB...here is a brief list for you...then some sites where you can get more detailed info.\n\n 1. As you notice, there are no shoulder pads or crash helmets in rugby.\n 2. The ball must be pitched backwards to your teammates. No Forward passes like John Elway.\n A team can pitch the ball back and forth to each other as many times as they wish.\n 3. THERE IS NO BLOCKING to assist your runner.\n 4. Everyone runs with the ball and tackles equally. Unlike American Grid-Iron Football where 2 or 3 guys get all the glory and the rest of the team is never given the opportunity to prove themselves and run for a score, every player on the rugby field will run with the ball and tackle over 20 times a game. If you were an offensive lineman and never ran the ball and never tackled this game is for you! Everyone will be a running back and linebacker. When a set dead-ball scrum is formed, that is when the team will get in their SET POSITIONS, but shortly after that when mass chaos breaks out, all players will run and tackle with the ball.\n 5. When you are tackled you have 1 second to let go of the ball and purposely “fumble” the ball. Don’t touch it again until you are up from the pile and standing on your two feet again.\n 6. When you TACKLE someone, you can’t pick up the fumbled ball until you are ON YOUR FEET. This is one of the most called penalties on new players. You must be standing up to pick up the ball. You cannot dive on a loose ball.\n 7. When you are on defense, and a tackled player is put to the ground, you must make sure you are on YOUR SIDE OF THE “scrumage line” BEFORE you engage in any physical contact with the other team. This is called offside and is one of the most called penalties for all levels of players. This happens when a defensive player is chasing down a runner from behind. The defensive player must run around the ruck pile and enter from the other side to give contact on the ruck pile. This is a very big yardage penalty if you get caught not being on sides on a loose ruck pile.\n 8. The game will have 15 players from each team taking the field\n 9. When you teammate pitches the ball to you as you are running down the field, and you accidentally drop the ball. THAT IS A PENALTY, it is called a “Knock On”. The other team will get the ball automatically right there for their possession. As you can see, this is the kiss of death when you drop or “Knock On” the ball deep in your own territory by their scoring end zone. This is why we run so many ball-handling drills in practice, to cut down on these penalties.\n 10. There are no “Downs” in rugby like football. An offensive team may have the ball for 20 “phases” or “downs” in a row, if they can keep winning the ruck pile and push over the tackled player to win the ball and regain possession. It is very important to always be in “support” and chasing after your ball carrier at all times. When your offensive player is tackled and there is 4 offensive players running right behind the ball carrier, they should no doubt be able to push over the 2 or 3 defensive players that are at the tackle area or the “ruck pile”. On the other side of the coin, if no offensive players are in support and the ball carrier is tackled, the defense will simply just step over the ball and the ball carrier, to pick up the loose ball. The offensive player must “REALEASE” the ball in 1 second. The Defensive team will just pick it up and run the other way if no offensive support is right there. It is VERY IMPORTANT TO BE IN SUPPORT AND HAVE 4 PLAYERS RIGHT BEHIND A BALL CARRIER. (1)You will be there for a pitch-pass. (2) You are there for a ruck over to win the ball.\n\nhttp://www.scrum.com/rugby_guide/\nhttp://www.irb.com/Laws/\nhttp://wildcat.wsc.edu/clubs/rugby/rules/\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacade

Could you ring them up, please?\n\nCASHIER: So you don't want The Others?\n\nCUSTOMER: I want all of them.\n\nCASHIER: But not The Others?\n\nCUSTOMER: I want everything sitting right there in front of you.\n\nCASHIER: OK, I'll ring them up. (Pause.) I'm sorry, but your account limits you to six rentals.\n\nCUSTOMER: Oh, OK, I won't rent Ten.\n\nCASHIER: Excuse me?\n\nCUSTOMER: Get rid of Ten.\n\nCASHIER: You have seven here.\n\nCUSTOMER: I still want to rent Seven.\n\nCASHIER: You're not allowed to.\n\nCUSTOMER: Why can't I rent Seven?\n\nCASHIER: Because it's over the limit.\n\nCUSTOMER: Right, but I want Seven. Get rid of Ten.\n\nCASHIER: (Pause.) That would leave negative three.\n\nCUSTOMER: Excuse me?\n\nCASHIER: You know what? We'll just let it slide this time.\n\nCUSTOMER: Thank you. (Pause.) Is that one due back the day after tomorrow, too?\n\nCASHIER: Yes, you have 48 hours.\n\nCUSTOMER: But is it due with the others?\n\nCASHIER: You don't have The Others.\n\nCUSTOMER: What did you just ring up?\n\nCASHIER: You want me to read these to you again?\n\nCUSTOMER: No, just tell me when they're due.\n\nCASHIER: The day after tomorrow.\n\nCUSTOMER: But what about the others?\n\nCASHIER: You don't have The Others.\n\nCUSTOMER: Is 48 Hours due the day after tomorrow?\n\nCASHIER: Yes, by 10 o'clock.\n\nCUSTOMER: Is Ten due the day after tomorrow?\n\nCASHIER: Yes, by 10 o'clock.\n\nCUSTOMER: What about After Hours?\n\nCASHIER: There's a late fee.\n\nCUSTOMER: For what?\n\nCASHIER: If you return after hours.\n\nCUSTOMER: The day after tomorrow?\n\nCASHIER: All of them.\n

Can't find a job, credit history bad, have had many positions?

Have had some wonderful Adm Asst/secretarial positions that I often left when upset, over divorce, bad credit, many dramas in my life, might hide I was finally diagnosed as bipolar 13 years ago. Recently applied for p/t or full time position at Macys, told there were no positions open. They asked for 2 employers on job app and yet when interviewed, HR rep mentioned an employer whom I had worked for, how did she know this? I did a good job there but left over discrimination. Please help me.

does slope up and down affect the distance traveled by an object?

He means does the angle of launch (theta) affect the range (R), when you launch an object at some constant speed (u)?\nThis is a basic question in applied mathematics (mechanics).\n\nYes it does.\nWrite the equations of motion for the object.\n(Neglect wind resistance, which is secondary.)\nAssuming the launch surface is flat and you did not launch at an elevation, thus y(0)=0,then the components of velocity in x-,y-directions are:\n u_x = u*cos(theta)\n u_y = u*sin(theta)\n\nNoting the acceleration: a_x(t) = 0, a_y(t) = -g (always downwards), then the velocity components are:\n v_x(t) = u*cos(theta)\n v_y(t) = u*sin(theta) - g*t\n\nHence distance traveled is:\n s_x(t) = u*t*cos(theta)\n s_y(t) = u*t*sin(theta) - 1/2 g*t^2\n\nThe object lands at some time t=t' when s_y(t') = 0 again (not the t=0 solution, obviously). Thus:\n 2*u*t'*sin(theta) = g*t'^2\n 2*u*sin(theta)/g = t'\n...\nand the range R is the s_x traveled at this time t=t' : \n R = s_x(t')\n = u*t'*cos(theta)\n = 2*u^2*sin(theta)*cos(theta)/g\n\nNow u,g are constant here, hence range R=R(theta) is purely a function of theta:\n R = (u^2/g) * 2*sin(theta)*cos(theta)\n R = (u^2/g) * sin(2*theta) ; [a trigonometric equality that sin(2*theta) = 2*sin(theta)*cos(theta)]\n\nIn this case you can show (without even needing differentiation) that R achieves a maximum when:\n sin(2*theta) = 1\n i.e. theta = 45 deg\n which is what you might have suspected.\n\n============================================================\n\n[For the general solution of launching at an elevation, y(0) = y_0 , then you need to rewrite s_y(t), solve as above, using differentiation to show R(theta) achieves a max when R'(theta)=0 for some theta which does not have a neat solution].\n\n[If you want to be a smartass, add the second-order air resistance terms into s_x(t), s_y(t), so you get acceleration due to a viscous force:\n a_x(t) = -nu * v_x(t)^2\n a_y(t) = -g + -nu * sgn(v_y)*v_y(t)^2\n [Note we have to use sgn(y_t) to ensure the viscous forces acts against direction of motion. Basically: down when the projectile is rising, and up when it's falling.\nBut you can usually neglect the air resistance component of a_y, since |v_x|>>|v_y| for most if not all of the flight, unless u is small and launch angle theta is large.]\n\nIf you neglect the air resistance component of a_y(t), then you can still get an analytic solution, otherwise I think now you get two difference equations and you have to solve approximately e.g. by Runge-Kutta approximation.\n\nIf you want to be an utter smartass, add in the effect of wind with a vector (w_x,w_y), such that the air resistance force depends on the relative velocity of projectile to wind:\n( v_x(t)-w_x , v_y(t)-w_y ) \n\nAlso, we neglected terrain (mountains etc.), these degenerate into piecewise tests to make sure you always maintain positive altitude s_y(t).\n\nIf you want to get silly, do the ballistic projectile case, where g decreases as a function of altitude, as does nu, and over long distances you have to factor in the earth's curvature, and probably you want to write it in polar, rather than Cartesian, coordinates.\n g(s_y) = g_0 - k_g(s_y(t)) (linearized approximation)\n nu = nu_0 * exp (-k_nu* (s_y(t)+Earth's radius)) (atmospheric density)\n [but you can linearize this too, for the lower atmosphere anyway: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/design/scripts/atmosphere/ ]\n\nAnd remember this was just for a projectile, where mass=constant.

Once upon a time they say, the rains came down day after day. So Noah built an ark so wide that all the?

animals could fit inside. \n\nPlease complete the 50 year old poem. Thank you.

Noah's Ark\n\n Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there lived a man named Noah. Noah was a very good man, and God loved him because he lived like God wanted him to live. Noah had a wife and three sons, named Ham, Shem and Japheth, and each of his sons had a wife. \n\n It wasn't a very happy time on the earth. There were big ugly giants that lived in those days, and people became very mean to one another. There was a lot of fighting between people, and lying and stealing, and it was just all bad. But Noah and his family were always very nice. God became angry with all the mean people and the big ugly giants. He was so upset with them all that he was sorry he made man on the earth, but he was very pleased with Noah and his family. \n\n God talked to Noah one day and said, "Noah ... Noah. I have to put an end to all of the bad people and giants on the earth. I will destroy them all, people and animals, by sending a Great Flood, to wash them all away. I want you and your family, to build an ark out of gopher wood. Make it with rooms inside and make it really, really big. Put a window in the top, so light can get in, and build a door on the side. I want you to make it three stories tall with rooms inside." \n\n God told Noah all the measurements to use in making the ark, like how long and how high and how wide to make it. Then God said, "I am going to send two of every kind of living thing on the earth to keep them alive during the Great Flood. They are going to live with you and your family on the ark. And I will start my promise with you." \n\n Oh my! Noah had a very big job ahead of him. He had never even built a boat before, let alone, an ark. God told Noah just exactly how to do everything. So, Noah and his family began building the ark. They had to cut down big, tall trees for the wood and had to haul it to the place where they were building the ark. They had to cut the trees so all the wood would fit together just right, the way God told Noah to. They didn't have the same kind of tools back then, that there are now, so it took a lot of time, and a lot of hard work. They needed tar to go between the wood, so that the water couldn't get in at all. \n\n They had to build separate pens for all the different kinds of animals. They built big pens for the big animals, like the elephants and the giraffes. They built medium sized pens for the medium sized animals, like the cows and the horses. They built smaller pens for the smaller animals, like the deer and the sheep. And they built little cages for the little things, like the chickens and the birds. They also had to build places to store all different kinds of food, for all the different kinds of animals. Yes, it was a very big job, indeed!\n\n People made fun of Noah and his family while they were building the ark. They laughed and said, "Noah, you crazy old man, there isn't even a lake close by!" Every time they passed by, they had something mean to say to Noah and his family about how silly they were to build an ark. They didn't know that God was going to bring a Great Flood to wash them all away. \n\n Noah didn't care that the people were laughing at him. He didn't let the people or anything that they said, bother him because he knew what was going to happen. He was very happy doing whatever God told him to do, whistling and singing while he worked.\n\n It took a very long time to build the ark. Many days were spent cutting and lifting and measuring and fitting. It was hard work. When the ark was finished, God told Noah to start loading the ark with his family and the animals because in seven days, the rain would start. God said it would rain for forty days and forty nights, and that would destroy every living thing on the earth. \n\n So, Noah did what God told him to do, and he, and his family started bringi

They needed tar to go between the wood, so that the water couldn't get in at all. \n\n They had to build separate pens for all the different kinds of animals. They built big pens for the big animals, like the elephants and the giraffes. They built medium sized pens for the medium sized animals, like the cows and the horses. They built smaller pens for the smaller animals, like the deer and the sheep. And they built little cages for the little things, like the chickens and the birds. They also had to build places to store all different kinds of food, for all the different kinds of animals. Yes, it was a very big job, indeed!\n\n People made fun of Noah and his family while they were building the ark. They laughed and said, "Noah, you crazy old man, there isn't even a lake close by!" Every time they passed by, they had something mean to say to Noah and his family about how silly they were to build an ark. They didn't know that God was going to bring a Great Flood to wash them all away. \n\n Noah didn't care that the people were laughing at him. He didn't let the people or anything that they said, bother him because he knew what was going to happen. He was very happy doing whatever God told him to do, whistling and singing while he worked.\n\n It took a very long time to build the ark. Many days were spent cutting and lifting and measuring and fitting. It was hard work. When the ark was finished, God told Noah to start loading the ark with his family and the animals because in seven days, the rain would start. God said it would rain for forty days and forty nights, and that would destroy every living thing on the earth. \n\n So, Noah did what God told him to do, and he, and his family started bringi

what is the wing speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

just what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? \n\n\nWhat do you mean, an African or European Swallow?To begin with, I needed basic kinematic data on African and European swallow species. \n\n \n South African Swallow\n(Hirundo spilodera) European Swallow\n(Hirundo rustica) \nAlthough 47 of the 74 worldwide swallow species are found in Africa,1 only two species are named after the continent: the West African Swallow (Hirundo domicella) and the South African Swallow (Hirundo spilodera), also known as the South African Cave Swallow. \n\nSince the range of the South African Swallow extends only as far north as Zaire,2 I felt fairly confident that this was the non-migratory African species referred to in previous discussions of the comparative and cooperative weight-bearing capabilities of African and European swallows.3 \n\nKinematic data for both African species was difficult to find, but the Barn or European Swallow (Hirundo rustica) has been studied intensively, and kinematic data for that species was readily available. \n\n\n\nIt’s a simple question of weight ratiosA 54-year survey of 26,285 European Swallows captured and released by the Avian Demography Unit of the University of Capetown finds that the average adult European swallow has a wing length of 12.2 cm and a body mass of 20.3 grams.4 \n\nBecause wing beat frequency and wing amplitude both scale with body mass,5 and flight kinematic data is available for at least 22 other bird species,6 it should be possible to estimate the frequency (f ) and amplitude (A) of the European Swallow by a comparison with similar species. With those two numbers, it will be possible to estimate airspeed (U). \n\nIn order to maintain airspeed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?Actually, wrong. By comparing the European Swallow with bird species of similar body mass, we can estimate that the swallow beats its wings 18 times a second with an amplitude of 18 cm: \n\nSpecies Body mass Frequency Amplitude \nZebra Finch 13 g 27 Hz 11 cm \nEuropean Swallow 20 g ≈ 18 Hz? ≈ 18 cm? \nDowny Woodpecker 27 g 14 Hz 29 cm \nBudgerigar 34 g 14 Hz 15 cm \n\nNote that even the tiny Zebra Finch flaps its wings no more than 27 times a second while cruising. \n\nIf we ignore body mass and look only at bird species with a similar wingspan, we can estimate an average frequency of 14 beats per second and an amplitude of 23 cm: \n\nSpecies Wingspan Frequency Amplitude \nBudgerigar 27 cm 14 Hz 15 cm \nEuropean Swallow ≈ 28–30 cm ≈ 14 Hz? ≈ 23 cm? \nDowny Woodpecker 31 cm 14 Hz 29 cm \nEuropean Starling 35 cm 14 Hz 26 cm \n\nBy averaging all 6 values, we can estimate that an average European Swallow flies at cruising speed with a frequency of roughly 15 beats per second, and an amplitude of roughly 22 cm. \n\nSkip a bit, BrotherLast month’s article on The Strouhal Number in Cruising Flight showed how simplified flight waveforms that graph amplitude versus wavelength can be useful for visualizing the Strouhal ratio (fA/U), a dimensionless parameter that tends to fall in the range of 0.2–0.4 during efficient cruising flight. \n\nFor a European Swallow flying with our estimated wingbeat amplitude of 24 cm, the predicted pattern of cruising flight ranges from a Strouhal number (St) of 0.2: \n\n \n\n... to a less efficient 0.4: \n\n \n\nIf the first diagram (St = 0.2) is accurate, then the cruising speed of the European Swallow would be roughly 16 meters per second (15 beats per second * 1.1 meters per beat).

Tagore extended wider Bengali art with his many poems, short stories, letters, essays, and paintings. Tagore was also a cultural reformer and a polymath (an adept in many subjects) who modernized Bangla art by challenging the strictures binding it to classical forms. Two of his songs are now the national anthems of Bangladesh and India: the Amar Shonar Bangla and the Jana Gana Mana.\n\n================\nAbanindranath Tagore (August 7, 1871 - December 5, 1951), was the principal artist of the Bengal school and the first major exponent of swadeshi values in Indian art. He was also a noted writer.\n\nTagore sought to modernise Moghul and Rajput traditions in order to counter the influence of Western models of art, as taught in Art Schools under the British Raj. Such was the success of Tagore's work that it was eventually accepted and promoted as a national Indian style within British art institutions.\n\n================\nGaganendranath Tagore (September 18, 1867--1938) was an Indian painter and cartoonist of the Bengal school. He was born at Jorasanko. Along with his brother Abanindranath Tagore, he was counted as one of the earliest modern artists in India.\n\nHis nephew, Rabindranath Tagore, was also an artist.\n\n=================\nDebendranath Tagore (Bangla:দেবেন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর, Debendronath Ţhakur)(May 15, 1817 - January 19, 1905) was a Bengali philosopher from current-day West Bengal, in India.\n\nHe was born in Calcutta, India. His father, Dwarkanath Tagore was a rich and famous Bengali landlord.\n\nDebendranath believed in religious reform and was opposed to societal Hindu practices like sati. He advocated universal education to free Bengal from such baseless beliefs. He was an active Brahmo, and was against sati, idol worship and the concept of multiple gods. He was asked by the leader of Brahmo Samaj Raja Ram Mohan Roy to continue his work in his absence. He came to be known as Maharishi Debendranath Tagore. Rabindranath Tagore was his son.\n\n================\nDwarkanath Tagore (Bangla:দ্বারকানাথ ঠাকুর, Darokanath Ţhakur) (1794-1846), one of the earliest entrepreneurs from India, has been remembered by the posterity for an altogether different reason: that of being the grandfather of Nobel laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941).\n\nDwarkanath was a western-educated Bengali brahmin and an acknowledged civic leader of Calcutta (now Kolkata) who played a pioneering role in setting up a string of commercial ventures -- bank, insurance and shipping companies -- in partnership with British traders.

Sadly, this e-mail is fake, and gives a bad name to christianity everywhere.\n\nFirstly, a computer program does not have access to history, only to the pre-programmed patterns which scientists feed it. If they were to measure BACKWARDS in time, there would be no way for a computer program to know that the sun stopped a day. \n\nSecondly, we would not need to know the future position of the sun, moon, or planets for satellites, because satellites orbit high in the Earths atmosphere and do not hurtle through deep space.\n\nThirdly, individual space crafts have their own paths researched and planned before launch, not based off a database compiled by other scientists.

Obviously the author was more concerned with making gullible people believe his version of religion than sticking to science.\n\nAlthough this is shameful to the religion, it neither proves nor disproves it.

4Computers & Internet

where can i find free internet security.?

There are many free security programs available for download. \n\nAn anti-virus program is a must. If your PC came with Norton or McAfee anti-virus and you have NOT been updating the virus definition files your PC is at risk. If your subscription to Norton or McAfee has lapsed and you have not renewed your subscription so that you can receive virus definition updates then your PC is at risk.\nAn anti-virus program is only effective if the virus\ndefinition files are updated on a regular basis (at\nleast once a week). If you are cheap (like me) there is a good anti-virus program called AVG from Grisoft that is free for personal use.\n\nYou can download it here (link near bottom of page):\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nBefore you install this program be sure to UNINSTALL\nany other anti-virus program that you currently have\ninstalled. Anti-virus programs don't play well\ntogether so you should have only one anti-virus\nprogram installed at any given time.\n\nThere are 3 good FREE programs that are effective at dealing with spyware, Ad-aware SE Personal (removes spyware), Spybot Search & Destroy (blocks and removes spyware), Spyware Blaster 3.2 (blocks spyware). I have all 3 of these programs installed on my PC and they work well together without any conflicts. After these programs are installed they need to be updated on a regular basis to be effective. These programs will have to be manually updated.\n\nYou can download Ad-aware SE Personal here (click on "Download Now" near top left of page):\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5\n\nAd-aware SE Personal will scan your PC and\nidentify spyware that should be removed. Ad-aware\ndefinition files are updated about once a week.\n\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy will "Check for Problems"\n(scan) your PC for spyware that should be removed.\nBe sure to use the "Immunize" feature that blocks\nknown spyware from getting onto your PC. Spybot\nSearch and Destroy detection files are updated about\nonce a month.\nAfter you update Spybot Search and Destroy each month be sure to "immunize" your PC so that the updated spyware threats will be blocked.\n\n\n\nSpyware Blaster can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\n\nAfter the program is installed be sure to click on\n"Enable All Protection" so the program blocks spyware.\nDetection files are updated about once a month.

where can i find free internet security.?There are many free security programs available for download. \n\nAn anti-virus program is a must. If your PC came with Norton or McAfee anti-virus and you have NOT been updating the virus definition files your PC is at risk. If your subscription to Norton or McAfee has lapsed and you have not renewed your subscription so that you can receive virus definition updates then your PC is at risk.\nAn anti-virus program is only effective if the virus\ndefinition files are updated on a regular basis (at\nleast once a week). If you are cheap (like me) there is a good anti-virus program called AVG from Grisoft that is free for personal use.\n\nYou can download it here (link near bottom of page):\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nBefore you install this program be sure to UNINSTALL\nany other anti-virus program that you currently have\ninstalled. Anti-virus programs don't play well\ntogether so you should have only one anti-virus\nprogram installed at any given time.\n\nThere are 3 good FREE programs that are effective at dealing with spyware, Ad-aware SE Personal (removes spyware), Spybot Search & Destroy (blocks and removes spyware), Spyware Blaster 3.2 (blocks spyware). I have all 3 of these programs installed on my PC and they work well together without any conflicts. After these programs are installed they need to be updated on a regular basis to be effective. These programs will have to be manually updated.\n\nYou can download Ad-aware SE Personal here (click on "Download Now" near top left of page):\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5\n\nAd-aware SE Personal will scan your PC and\nidentify spyware that should be removed. Ad-aware\ndefinition files are updated about once a week.\n\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy will "Check for Problems"\n(scan) your PC for spyware that should be removed.\nBe sure to use the "Immunize" feature that blocks\nknown spyware from getting onto your PC. Spybot\nSearch and Destroy detection files are updated about\nonce a month.\nAfter you update Spybot Search and Destroy each month be sure to "immunize" your PC so that the updated spyware threats will be blocked.\n\n\n\nSpyware Blaster can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\n\nAfter the program is installed be sure to click on\n"Enable All Protection" so the program blocks spyware.\nDetection files are updated about once a month.

prada authenticity?

Unfortunately, the only way a buyer can be certain of purchasing an authentic Prada handbag is to purchase it directly from a Prada Boutique or an authorized Prada retailer such as Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue. Below is information you can use to determine the authenticity of a Prada bag before buying. \n\nEXTERIOR \n\nMaterials \n\nNappa (lamb) \n\nVitello (year-old calf) \n\nTessuto (woven: nylon/microfibre) \n\nVela Sport (nylon) \n\nSaffiano (textured leather) \n\nDaino (deerskin) \n\nCoccodrillo (crocodile) \n\nCinghiale (wild boar) \n\nSpazzolato (highly polished leather) \n\nVernice (patent leather) \n\nStruzzo (ostrich) \n\nScamosciato (suede) \n\nBufalo (buffalo) \n\nCamoscio (chamois) \n\nRaso (silk/satin) \n\nCanapa (hemp) \n\nFeltro (felt: wool) \n\nNeoprene (cloth vinyl) \n\nOthers: Denim, Fur: leopard \n\nHardware \n\nPrada uses either yellow gold, rose gold or silver hardware throughout the bag or wallet. Not a combination of both or all. The Prada hardware is engraved with the Prada name. \n\nLogo \n\nAll Prada bags and wallets will either have the embossed Prada name or the triangular Prada plaque on the exterior. The triangular plaques on older Prada bags and wallets are mounted on a leather or fabric base (or patch) while the newer models are attached directly to the body of the bag or wallet. Additionally, the older Prada logos read as "Prada Milano Made in Italy" while the newer models have been simplified to read "Prada". Note the size, width and placement of the lettering. \n\nOther Exterior Markings \n\nIn addition to the logo and hardware, other parts of the Prada bag will also show the Prada name; for example, the rubber "feet" at the base of the bag. \n\nINTERIOR \n\nLining \n\nThere are a number of different linings Prada uses depending on the line: monogram lining (most common), plain coordinating or more recently, contrasting satin lining and calf leather lining (luxury line). \n\nOccasionally, you will find Prada bags that are unlined. Depending on the main body of the bag, it will have either a suede-like or plain nylon interior. \n\nInterior markings \n\nAll Prada handbags and wallets are made in Italy. This will either be embossed directly on the leather interior in a visible location, or printed on the interior plaque under the Prada name. Interior plaques on older Prada bags are almost square with "Prada Milano Made in Italy" on 3 separate lines while newer models are on smaller, more rectangular plates with "Prada Made In Italy" on two lines. Newer high-end models may have the "Prada Made in Italy" either embossed on a leather patch that is stitched to the interior. \n\nOTHER \n\nCotton dustcovers (either in white with navy Prada logo or navy with gold older style Prada logo or newer style light blue Prada name), authenticity cards and care instruction booklets are supplied with each Prada bag. The Prada Sport line provides a grey vinyl dustcover with a red stripe and the Prada name in white. These are also commonly faked to make you believe that the item being sold is real. Most wallets come with a navy blue/violet gift box. \n\nInformation on Prada authenticity cards include: Model, Group Name, Material and Colour. Authenticity cards do not generally "hang" from straps unless they are purchased directly from Italy, and they are enclosed in little plastic sleeves. \n\nA stamped authenticity card will provide a person with a guarantee against manufacturing defects, however Prada items can be purchased from Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue without this stamp and can be returned at those retailers (with proof of purchase) for repairs. If the card is stamped from a Prada boutique, it can be brought into any store worldwide for repair or refurbishment. \n\nI hope this helps.\n\nAlso just in case you were wondering about other designer bags (Louis Vuitton, Gucci...there is a website that I have included)

My husband said that it is a rough, rounded, kinda like spongie thing inside the vaginal wall center and when it's stimulated it gives exceptional pleasure that will add to a woman's climax.

Please Read This--General Chong..Comments please..?

The General Has is Right!\n\n\n \nI had no idea who General Chong is or the source of these thoughts... so when I received them, I almost deleted them - as well-written as they are. But then I did "Google and USA Today" searches on the General and found him to be a retired Air Force Surgeon of all things and past Commander of Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio. So he is real, is connected to Veterans affairs, and these are his thoughts. They are worth reading and thinking about!! (the same Google search will direct you to some of his other thought-provoking writings.) \n\n[See MG (Dr) Vernon Chong Biographical Data at: http://www.af.mil/bios/bio.asp?bioID=5000 \n\n\nMG Vernon Chong, USAFR forwarded: \n\n ********************************************************************************************** \n\n This WAR is for REAL! \n\n\nTo get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its \n\nexistence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII). \n\n\nThe deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means. \n\n\nFirst, let's examine a few basics: \n\n\n1. When did the threat to us start? \n\n\nMany will say -September 11, 2001. The answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the following attacks on us: \n\n\n* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979; \n\n* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983; \n\n* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983; \n\n* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988; \n\n* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993; \n\n* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996; \n\n* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998; \n\n* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998; \n\n* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000; \n\n* New York World Trade Center 2001; \n\n* Pentagon 2001. \n\n\n(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were \n\n7,581 terrorist attacks worldwide). \n\n\n2. Why were we attacked? \n\n\nEnvy of our position, our success, and our freedoms. The \n\nattacks happened during the administrations of Presidents \n\nCarter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2. We cannot fault \n\neither the Republicans or Democrats as there were no \n\nprovocations by any of the presidents or their immediate \n\npredecessors, Presidents Ford or Carter. \n\n\n3. Who were the attackers? \n\n\nIn each case, the attacks on the US were carried out by \n\nMuslims. \n\n\n4. What is the Muslim population of the World? 25%. \n\n\n5. Isn't the Muslim Religion peaceful? \n\n\nHopefully, but that is really not material. There is no \n\ndoubt that the predominately Christian population of Germany \n\nwas peaceful, but under the dictatorial leadership of Hitler \n\n(who was also Christian), that made no difference. You \n\neither went along with the administration or you were \n\neliminated. There were 5 to 6 million Christians killed by \n\nthe Nazis for political reasons (including 7,000 Polish \n\npriests). (see http://www.nazis.testimony.co.uk/7-a.htm ) \n\n\nThus, almost the same number of Christians were killed by \n\nthe Nazis, as the six million holocaust Jews who were killed \n\nby them, and we seldom heard of anything other than the \n\nJewish atrocities. Although Hitler kept the world focused on \n\nthe Jews, he had no hesitancy about killing anyone who got \n\nin his way of exterminating the Jews or of taking over the \n\nworld - German, Christian or any others. \n\n\nSame with the Muslim terrorists. They focus the world on the \n\nUS, but kill all in the way -- their own people or the \n\nSpanish, French or anyone else. The point here is that just \n\nlike the peaceful Germans were of no protection to anyone \n\nfrom the Nazis, no matter how many peaceful Muslims there \n\nmay be, they are no protection for us fr

i agree completely.what has happened to our country politically has occurred slowly and now we have to come together quickly.but,can we?i am as a firm believer in my politics as are the others on the other side.but we must stop this petty bickering and show a united front.no one has to change their beliefs.but just as we did in WWII fight the evil ones together and defeat them.then we can get back to fighting within the family.as any kid with siblings knows.i can pick on my brothe or sister but everyone else better leave him/her alone or you'll have me to fight too.

How do you help a people who lost 6 million souls?

My great grandfather was captured brought to Auswitz Natzi death camp and tortured for a long time untill one day he escaped succesfull but while losing his friends who were shot and killed by the Nazis in an attempt to escape. Out of 26 only 4 lived. 6 Million of my anscestors perrsihed in what is called the Holocost. Oh!"Tears" This is so hard to write! Can you imagine being 10 years old in one of those cattle cars not knowing where these nazis were taking you and then seeing the smoke from the creamatroiums. You ask, where is my father or mother and someone points to the smoke and sais, there, they are going to heaven. "Weeps!".\nWe must never forget the holocost folks! But I wonder if any of you have an idea of how this Jew from a surviving family of the holocost could honar and help other such families? I just don't know how to express my heart and its breaking when i considder 6 million of my own people dead at the hand of Hitler.

Paperclips is a very powerful documentary and I agree, EVERYONE should watch it. It should be a requirement in school. As should be Schindlers List. All through my childhood I heard my fraternal grandparents talk about Hitler and the Nazis. They came to the state not long after he came into power and started persecuting the jews. While not jewish themselves they had many close friends that were and couldn't stand to watch them suffer. Knowing this was only the beginning they left Germany and came to the US. If Hitlers name was mentioned around my Grandma tears welled up in her eyes and she called hi the worst evil that had ever happened to mankind. But by far the most powerful and moving thing I have ever felt was when I was 16. I was visiting relatives in Europe with my Aunt. Knowing what I was studying in school that semester we took a side trip and she took me to Auschwitz so that i could truely understand what I was being taught, though we weren't Jewish she wanted me to understand. As long as I live i will remember that, seeing the ovens and hearing what happened there. It was almost as if that place screamed in pain still for the evil that was committed there. No member of our tour group was left dry eyed by the time it was over. The most vivid memory of it was seeing the ovens then hearing the older lady next to us break down in tears. Turns out she was dying of cancer and before she departed this earth she had to see where he parents and brothers had perished.\nTo so many of us evil of this enormity is hard to grasp and fathom but every day of our lives we see or hear a small part of it. Every time you utter a racial slur, make a biggoted remark, show intolerance to anothers religion or belief system you are perpetuating Hitlers legacy. Because that is what it was, hatered and biggotry and intolerance. It took 6 million people dying for the rest of the world to understand that lesson, of what that mindframe and and those views can bring about. And the worst thing we can do is forget it or glorify the kinds of acts or thinking that brought on all of those deaths. Because it wasn't hitler alone that killed them all, it was people who felt the way he did and thought nothing of it. Look around you and i bet you have met people like that. Or maybe you are yourself, so none of this has gone away and all the lessons have not sunk in. Six million people, our minds truely can't wrap around that number. All because of intolerance and biggotry. As you read through the answers to some of the questions on these pages you can see it here as well. Intolerance to other peoples view or religions, a supreme and superior attitude because 'I am right my religion is right the rest of you are wrong'. That attitude is what helped take 6 million people from this earth. That is what ALLOWED the nazis to do what they did. They saw those in those camps as wrong and not as good as themselves, that they were superior. Those camps still exhist today as a reminder of that evil. And believe me if you walk through the gates you can feel it, you can feel the pain and anguish that went on there. It screams at you from every inch of it. 6 MILLION people killed because someone else was sure they were right and they were superior. \n\nThose shows on the History Channel SHOULD upset you! They should upset you every time you see them and never should you become callous to them or what they show. That is about the only reminder this world has left of what can come from biggotry and hatered.\n\nNext time, before you write out from your superior point of view and point out how everyone else is wrong, or laugh at an ethnic joke or make fun of someone because they are different think about Hitler and what that kind of mindset can cause...\nSIX MILLION SOULS TAKEN FROM THIS EARTH BECAUSE THE NAZIS THOUGHT THEY WERE BETTER AND KNEW THEY WERE RIGHT!

What are the best foods to eat to prevent hot flashes?

You really need to watch your intake of acidic foods. \n\nThere are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid.\n\nDrink sufficient fluids -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing! \n\n*A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable! \n\n*Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink.\n\n*Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels. \nSubstitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc. \n\n*Avoid all stimulants. They are very hard on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal tea acceptable.) \n\n*It is easier on your digestive system if you eat fruit by itself. Fruit digests faster than any other type of food. Starches and proteins do not combine well either. \n\n*Eat two-thirds of your daily food intake before mid-afternoon if possible. It is best to use protein in the morning and at noon, not in the evening. \n\n*Eliminate fried foods of all kinds -- bake, roast, or steam instead. \n\n*Avoid pork and any product containing pork -- lunch meats, hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, etc. Experts feel that the parasites in pork are heat-resistant. \n\n*Do not use aluminum cookware. \n\n*Replace table salt with Vegetable Seasoning Broth, kelp or B-Salt. Table salt -- sodium chloride -- is an imbalanced chemical which can cause health problems. \n\n*Replace red meat with fish or fowl whenever possible. \n\n*Substitute leaf lettuce -- Romaine, red or green leaf, or butter for head lettuce which has very little food value and is toxic in the colon. \nTry to add cultured products, natural yogurt & keifer (not sweetened) to your diet to help your digestive system. Also add acidophilus supplements to your regimen to increase friendly bacteria in your intestines and support your immune system. \n\n\n*70% of your daily food intake should be selected from alkaline-forming list. 30% from the acid-forming list. \n\nTo accomplish this, you may have: \n5 vegetables* \n2 fruits \n2 starches -- or -- 1 starch \n1 protein 2 proteins\n\nAcid - Forming Foods \nMeat \nFowl \nEggs \nBread\nNuts \nCitrus juices \nFish \nCheese \nRice \nGrains (cereal) \nSugar \nAlkali - Forming Foods \n\nFruit juices/except citrus \nVegetable juices \nRaw Honey \nSoybeans \nPotatoes \n*Liquid Chlorophyll - Chloropyll may be used as a vegetable.\nGoat milk \nsprouted seeds \n\nMe - fitness expert, nutrition and life coach \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoda of ay kind is one of the worst things you can put into your body.\nOne can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites.

About how much money does a commercial pilot make?

How much does a commercial airplane pilot make on average in a month or a in a year? Backup from a website is appreciated.

The anwser to this question VARIES WILDLY. That depends on if they are airline, military or corporate/charter and the type of equipment flown, their years of service and various other factors.\n\nFor example, airline pilot pay is something the general public often has a lot of misconceptions about and they think everyone makes a ton of money. The general 'glamorization' of the career leads many people to think that airline pilots make $250-300K+ a year and that they work two weeks or less a month. While there are a select few captains at the major carriers that do, they are by far the minority.\n\nThat said:\nAccording to the Air Line Pilots Association, their average major* airline member Captain is 50 years old, with 18 years seniority and makes $182,000 a year. A non-major airline Captain is 41 years old with 10 years of seniority and makes $70,000 a year.\n\nThe average ALPA First Officer member at a major airline is 43 years old with 10 years of seniority and makes $121,000 per year, while an ALPA non major First Officer is age 35 with 3 years of service and makes $33,000.\n\n*A major airline is a carrier with more than a billion in sales annually. American, Delta, Northwest, United, Continental, US Airways, Southwest, Alaska (and even several 'regional' carriers) are considered majors by that definition. However, not all major carriers pilots are members of the ALPA union, notably AA & SWA who have their own in house unions.\n\nFactors affecting pilot pay:\n~ Time with the company (seniority)\n~ Aircraft flown\n~ Whether they are a Captain or First Officer (seat)\n~ The hours in their monthly schedule\n~ The payscale at their specific airline\n\nA pilots pay is figured upon the hourly rate for their seat and their equipment based upon the pay grade for their seniority. Each company also has a set 'minimum guarantee' flight hour pay in their pilot contract. This is generally about 75 hours per month but varies slightly by airline. (A few majors guarantee is only 65!) However, in no case will the pilot earn less than the 'minimum guarantee'. They may fly less than 75 actual flight hours, but they will still be paid for the 75 per their guarantee. If they get a flight schedule that is blocked for more flight hours than the minimum guarantee, they will then get paid for the greater amount of time flown instead, plus per diem. Flight crew make from $1-3 per hour in 'per diem' for every hour they are away from their domicile on a trip to cover expenses. This generally adds a few hundred dollars to their pay check.\n\nA general comparison of starting monthly First Officer pay by airline*:\n~ AMERICAN - $2,240\n~ CONTINENTAL - $2,500\n~ DELTA - $3,640\n~ FED EX - $3,700\n~ NORTHWEST - $2,574\n~ SOUTHWEST - $3,744\n~ UNITED - $1,950\n~ US AIRWAYS - $1,875\n~ UPS - $2,187\n*all without per diem, based on minimum monthly guarantee, first year pay in smallest fleet type\n\nHere is a Captain pay comparison* at 12 years of seniority, by the largest type in fleet (best paying):\n~ American 777 - $12,352\n~ Continental 777 - $14,688\n~ Delta 777 - $14,040\n~ Fed EX widebody $14,874\n~ Northwest 747 - $14,586\n~ Southwest 737 - $14,196\n~ United 747 - $11,570\n~ US Airways A330 $11,520\n~ UPS (all a/c) $15,390\n\nIn the civilian career path progression, a pilot will usually work at a regional carrier before moving on to a major airline. Regional new hires make close to $20K a year to start! While some regionals pay close to $30K after 3 years or so, it takes several years at other to make that much. Starting out in this career one must expect to make some very low wages until they begin to build seniority with their airline and move up the payscale.\n\nLargest connection carrier, "Express" or regional affiliate airlines starting gross monthly pay:\n\n~ American Eagle $1,725\n~ Comair - $1,72\n~ Chautauqua - $1,650\n~ Mesa - $1,596\n~ Mesaba - $1,800\n~ Pinnacle $1,575\n~ Skywest $1,425\n~

About how much money does a commercial pilot make?How much does a commercial airplane pilot make on average in a month or a in a year? Backup from a website is appreciated.The anwser to this question VARIES WILDLY. That depends on if they are airline, military or corporate/charter and the type of equipment flown, their years of service and various other factors.\n\nFor example, airline pilot pay is something the general public often has a lot of misconceptions about and they think everyone makes a ton of money. The general 'glamorization' of the career leads many people to think that airline pilots make $250-300K+ a year and that they work two weeks or less a month. While there are a select few captains at the major carriers that do, they are by far the minority.\n\nThat said:\nAccording to the Air Line Pilots Association, their average major* airline member Captain is 50 years old, with 18 years seniority and makes $182,000 a year. A non-major airline Captain is 41 years old with 10 years of seniority and makes $70,000 a year.\n\nThe average ALPA First Officer member at a major airline is 43 years old with 10 years of seniority and makes $121,000 per year, while an ALPA non major First Officer is age 35 with 3 years of service and makes $33,000.\n\n*A major airline is a carrier with more than a billion in sales annually. American, Delta, Northwest, United, Continental, US Airways, Southwest, Alaska (and even several 'regional' carriers) are considered majors by that definition. However, not all major carriers pilots are members of the ALPA union, notably AA & SWA who have their own in house unions.\n\nFactors affecting pilot pay:\n~ Time with the company (seniority)\n~ Aircraft flown\n~ Whether they are a Captain or First Officer (seat)\n~ The hours in their monthly schedule\n~ The payscale at their specific airline\n\nA pilots pay is figured upon the hourly rate for their seat and their equipment based upon the pay grade for their seniority. Each company also has a set 'minimum guarantee' flight hour pay in their pilot contract. This is generally about 75 hours per month but varies slightly by airline. (A few majors guarantee is only 65!) However, in no case will the pilot earn less than the 'minimum guarantee'. They may fly less than 75 actual flight hours, but they will still be paid for the 75 per their guarantee. If they get a flight schedule that is blocked for more flight hours than the minimum guarantee, they will then get paid for the greater amount of time flown instead, plus per diem.

I need saving tips! I want to save money for a beautiful vacation in Europe. Do you have any?

I'm married and I have 2 kids very early and we had to pospone this ideal trip with my husband. But now we are definitly going to do it, so I need to save money at home. Tips, please!!

Here's a list:\n\nShop for lower car insurance. Raise your deductible to $500 on comp and collision (if car is financed) and to $1000 (if car is not financed). This will lower your premium.\n\nCut out un-necessary expenses in the cable bill dept.\n\nCall up your internet provider and let them know you need a special because there are other company's tempting you to change providers. Even if you don't have another better special, it may surprise you what offer you do receive.\n\nDrop all excess expenses related to you phone bill. Make sure if you call a lot of long distance that you are on a flat billing plan.\n\nIf you go out to dinner, ask your spouse what is more important--saving for the trip or dining out. If both matter, maybe going out could mean the $1.00 menu at Wendy's. \n\nEliminate any NSF fees (if you have them). They will rob you quicker than a robber in the night. How? Refuse to spend money unless you have the cash. Tell people that say that can't wait, too bad. \n\nLimit your trips to using the car once per day. I.E. group all errands and depart only once per day. \n\nCut out all incidentals. Don't just "drop" and "shop" (dropping whatever fancies you into your shopping cart) PLAN AHEAD WITH A LIST. If you don't think of it ahead of time, don't buy it later. \n\nBuy and install a setback thermostat. Program it so that it only heats while you are all getting up in the morning, and then again after 4 PM when everyone's home. (This could save you hundreds over a few months.) You or small kids at home during the day? Simple. Live in one room during the day while the rest of the house remains cold. You may need to buy a room heater (not electric) to keep the one room warm. \n\nRun the dishwasher on the NO HEAT DRY CYCLE and load that puppy to the hilt = don't run it more than once per day. \n\nCheck your water heater setting. If you can manage it, turn it down to just hot enough for showering. Then have everyone shower for a max of 6 minutes per person--no baths.\n\nChange all your light bulbs to low watt fluorescent bulbs. Make sure that you study each bulb in several stores and find the ones that produce a high lumen for a low watt consumption type. (Not all bulbs are the same.) Also, buy at Home Depot the bulbs--forget Safeway type stores, they are grossly overpriced. Wal*mart also has lower priced bulbs. Eliminate all incandescent bulbs (this includes 60 watt standard bulbs in each bedroom, etc. Hint: This will actually cost you a lot of money in bulb cost, but the savings will come back to you. It all depends on how long you burn your lights, and what type of bulbs you already use. If you use 100 watt bulbs and each fixture has 2 - 3 bulbs, you will see a huge savings especially if the bulbs are constantly on. If you use only 1-60 watt bulb in each room of a 2 bedroom apt, you may not realize that much and it may cost you more for the bulbs. But over time, it will pay. Take the expensive bulbs with you when you move, and replace them with 4/$1.00 bulbs so that owner does not charge you when you move.)\n\nClose all the blinds and keep them closed for as much as possible. Heat is retained this way.\n\nShop at Goodwill and other 2nd hand stores.\n\nReduce the cost of the Europe Trip by buying right. I.E. Get the best deal on airfare, hotels/hostels, etc.\n\nGet onto reduced lunches (if you qualify) for your kids (if in school).\n\nBuy cheaper detergent. Tide is expensive. Consider the ones that cost at Wal*mart $2.89 (check the quantity of cycles per jug and make sure you are not be ripped off by tricky marketing). The same goes for softener. We have used both and there is not much difference, if any.\n\nGo to the Dollar Store and buy the Oxy Clean Laundry additive--for a $1.00. It helps a lot, especially if you use the cheaper detergents. Our whites come out great. Also, I am continuosly amazed at how much chea

While it's the most common religion worldwide,Why christians are the least applying their religion properly?

according to the latest surveys christianity forms about 33.1 % of the religion around the world ( Islam about 21% , hindus forms 6 %) , i wonder why we barely find christians whom really follow their relgion just as it asked them to!!! \n\nwho doesn't have a gf in USA, for example , while we know that proper christianity doesn't allow sex outside marriage ?\n\nmuslims are more than 1.000.000.000 , we can find extreme people , yes , we find athiests who are muslims by names only , yes ,,, but we can't denay that the vast majority are people who are fair , simple , follow the proper islam .\n\nhindus have the same story , too , they are too strict to their faith and they apply everything they are asked to (up to my humble knowledge!!!) ..\n\n\ncan we say that the modern christianity is just a mask and a fake religion which have nothing to do with the real one and people are using this mask to do whatever they want in the name of christ whom they don't even respect?!!! \n\nanswer frankly

First I would like to thank the asker for his nice way of introducing the question, we do need such civilized ways of dialogue from both Moslems and Christians, and I hope that my answer would offend no one at all and if this happens with out intention this is my apology in advance. \nI believe that the main reason behind such kind of practice among most Christians is due to their belief that Jesus PBUH was crucified for their redemption, and to make my point of view clearer I would just cite the following example: \nlet us imagine that in some country in this world the government has declared a test for people for the period of one year to check who is a good citizen and who is not, and during this 12 months time people who abide with the rules and regulations would be highly rewarded, but at the same time no punishment at all for any kind of violations and crimes, robbers, killers, traffic violators, smugglers, … etc, will be forgiven for their mistakes and sins and would be treated equally with good people who didn't sin or violate the law and also will be rewarded. Here I have some questions:\n1-What is the percentage of the people who would abide with the law?\n2-Do you thing that it is fear to treat both parties equally?\n3-And the most important, would this test have any sense of logic at all, I mean what is the issue if all will be rewarded?\nConclusions:\n1-God can never hold such test because He would be playing or mocking at us (praise be to Him).\n2-It would be unfair trial and meaningless.\n3-If the result is known from the beginning that every body would pass so no need to hold the test.\n "Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between! \n\n If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing(! \n\n Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us)". \nHoly Quran.\n\nWe Moslems believe that Jesus was not crucified and that it is all no more than a fabrication from some one to digress Christians from the straight path. But how this happened? When the Jews ran after Jesus to capture him and put him to death, he refuged to a cave and the worst man among them followed him up inside the cave, God left up Jesus alive to heaven and made the face of that man similar to Jesus' face, when he came out of the cave he was surprised that people who was waiting out side the cave just captured him and crucified him while he is screaming "I am not Jesus" but no one believed him and that was his punishment in this life for trying to kill Jesus. \nCh-4,V-157-159\n That they(the jews) said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.\n Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\n And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them).\nHoly Quran\n\nMay God guide us all to the straight path.

While it's the most common religion worldwide,Why christians are the least applying their religion properly?according to the latest surveys christianity forms about 33.1 % of the religion around the world ( Islam about 21% , hindus forms 6 %) , i wonder why we barely find christians whom really follow their relgion just as it asked them to!!! \n\nwho doesn't have a gf in USA, for example , while we know that proper christianity doesn't allow sex outside marriage ?\n\nmuslims are more than 1.000.000.000 , we can find extreme people , yes , we find athiests who are muslims by names only , yes ,,, but we can't denay that the vast majority are people who are fair , simple , follow the proper islam .\n\nhindus have the same story , too , they are too strict to their faith and they apply everything they are asked to (up to my humble knowledge!!!) ..\n\n\ncan we say that the modern christianity is just a mask and a fake religion which have nothing to do with the real one and people are using this mask to do whatever they want in the name of christ whom they don't even respect?!!! \n\nanswer franklyFirst I would like to thank the asker for his nice way of introducing the question, we do need such civilized ways of dialogue from both Moslems and Christians, and I hope that my answer would offend no one at all and if this happens with out intention this is my apology in advance. \nI believe that the main reason behind such kind of practice among most Christians is due to their belief that Jesus PBUH was crucified for their redemption, and to make my point of view clearer I would just cite the following example: \nlet us imagine that in some country in this world the government has declared a test for people for the period of one year to check who is a good citizen and who is not, and during this 12 months time people who abide with the rules and regulations would be highly rewarded, but at the same time no punishment at all for any kind of violations and crimes, robbers, killers, traffic violators, smugglers, … etc, will be forgiven for their mistakes and sins and would be treated equally with good people who didn't sin or violate the law and also will be rewarded. Here I have some questions:\n1-What is the percentage of the people who would abide with the law?\n2-Do you thing that it is fear to treat both parties equally?\n3-And the most important, would this test have any sense of logic at all, I mean what is the issue if all will be rewarded?\nConclusions:\n1-God can never hold such test because He would be playing or mocking at us (praise be to Him).\n2-It would be unfair trial and meaningless.\n3-If the result is known from the beginning that every body would pass so no need to hold the test.\n "Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between! \n\n If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing(! \n\n Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us)". \nHoly Quran.\n\nWe Moslems believe that Jesus was not crucified and that it is all no more than a fabrication from some one to digress Christians from the straight path. But how this happened? When the Jews ran after Jesus to capture him and put him to death, he refuged to a cave and the worst man among them followed him up inside the cave, God left up Jesus alive to heaven and made the face of that man similar to Jesus' face, when he came out of the cave he was surprised that people who was waiting out side the cave just captured him and crucified him while he is screaming "I am not Jesus" but no one believed him and that was his punishment in this life for trying to kill Jesus. \nCh-4,V-157-159\n That they(the jews) said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.\n Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\n And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them).\nHoly Quran\n\nMay God guide us all to the straight path.

Cardace 2.5 H ,Amalong 5 mg side effect on my body as explained below?

I have taken CARDACE 2.5 H,AMLONG 5 mg, ,B.P.drugs for 7 years.I find that I have developed cold sensitivity and diabetic condition,low bone density in the same period.Diabetes is recorded as side effect.Can it be corrected after stoping to use the drug.I am 51 years old,167 cms,70 kg,male with constant weight,generally fit with regular work out.My thyroid test are normal.Lost my wife 6 years back and now remarrid from @ 5 years,and generally happy.All other tests are normal.What will reverse the side effects?

None of the sites I researched list diabetes as a side effect of\nCardace. Neuropathy and paresthesia are listed however, which may\ncontribute your cold sensitivity. Other than elevated blood glucose, I\nsee no evidence that Cardace causes diabetes. In fact, one study of\nover 9,000 patients, Ramipril (Cardace) was found to REDUCE the\nincidence of diabetes. Drugs like Ramipril can help diabetics avoid\ndiabetic kidney damage.\n\n Has your doctor ordered a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) test on\nyou? This can help determine your blood glucose over a period of\ntime, as opposed to a random, a post prandial or fasting glucose. Do\nyou have family members with diabetes? Has your doctor diagnosed you\nas a diabetic? Are you taking insulin or medication? Diabetics are\nprone to high blood pressure.\n\nIf you are now diabetic, it is unlikely that Cardace was the cause. \n\n\n“Patients on ramipril had a 30% lower risk of developing diabetes,\nmaking it the first drug ever to be effective in preventing the onset\nof diabetes.”\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=11075\n\n\nDiabetes:\n=========\nDiabetes, Type 1 is not reversible. Type 2 can be controlled with diet\nand exercise.\n\n“The two major forms of diabetes are type 1 (previously called\ninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes)\nand type 2 (previously called noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus\n(NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes).”\n\n“• Over time, the pancreas becomes unable to produce enough insulin\nto overcome resistance. In type 2 diabetes, the initial effect of this\nstage is usually an abnormal rise in blood sugar right after a meal\n(called postprandial hyperglycemia). This effect is now believed to be\nparticularly damaging to the body.\n• Eventually, the cycle of elevated glucose further impairs and\npossibly destroys beta cells, thereby stopping insulin production\ncompletely and causing full-blown diabetes. This is made evident by\nfasting hyperglycemia, in which elevated glucose levels are present\nmost of the time.”\nhttp://www.well-connected.com/rreports/doc42full.html\n\n\n"Patient education is essential to help persons with diabetes achieve\nglycemic control, but care should be taken initially to avoid\noverwhelming the patient and family with information.

What about Sun according to Islam? Please read the details before answering?

In plain words, the Qur’an says that one of the righteous men of God’s servants saw the sun set in a certain place of the earth—in particular a well full of water and mud. There, this man found some people. Read what is recorded in the Qur’an (chapter "the Cave", verse 86),\n\n"When he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring and found a people thereabout. We said: ‘O Dhul-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness"’ (Surah 18:86).\n\nLest I failed to understand what the Qur’an meant by these strange words, I referred to the famous students of the Qur’an as well as to the ancient scholars,scholars such as the Baydawi, Jalalan, and Zamakhshari confirm it. The Zamakhshari remarks in his book, "the Kash-shaf",

Dr William Cambell also asked this question to Dr. Zakir. now read his response.. and please take your time and do read you will get the answer. \n\nThe other points, Dr. William Campbell raised was regarding Surah Kahf Chapter No.18, Verse No.86, that… ‘Zulqarnain sees the sun setting in murky water… in turbid water - Imagine sun setting in murky water… unscientific.’ The Arabic word used here is… it is 'wajada' meaning, ‘it appeared to Zulqarnain.’ And Dr. William Campbell knows Arabic. So 'wajada' means - if you look up in the dictionary also, it means it appeared.’ So Allah Subhanawataala is describing what appeared to Zulqarnain. If I make a statement that… ‘The student in the class said, 2 plus 2 is equal to 5.’ And you say… ‘Oh Zakir said, 2 plus 2 is equal to 5. I did not say. I am telling…‘The student in the class said, 2 plus 2 is equal to 5.’ I am not wrong - The student is wrong. There are various ways to try and analyze this verse. One is this way - according to Muhammad Asad, that 'wajada' means… ‘It appeared to’… ‘It appeared to Zulqarnain.’ Point no.2 - The Arabic word used is 'Magrib' - It can be used for time, as well as place. When we say ‘sunset’ – ‘sunset’ can be taken for time. If I say… ‘The sun sets at 7 p.m.’; I am using it for time. If I say… ‘The ‘Sun sets in the West’, it means I am taking it for place. So here if we use the word 'Magrib' for time. So Zulqarnain did not reach that place of sunset - used - as time - He reached at the time of sun set. The problem is solved. Further more, you can solve them in various ways. Even if Dr. William Campbell says… ‘No No, the basic assumption is too much - It is not… ‘Appeared to’… it is actually this.’ Let us analyze it further. The Qur'anic verse says… the Sun set in murky water.’ Now we know, when we use these words, like ‘sunrise’ and ‘sunset’ - does the sunrise? Scientifically, sun does not rise - neither does the sunset. We know scientifically, that the sun does not set at all. It is the rotation of the earth, which gives rise to sunrise and sunset. But yet you read in the everyday papers mentioning, sunrise at 6 a.m. sun sets at 7.00 p.m. Oh! The newspapers are wrong – Unscientific!’ If I use the word ‘Disaster’, Oh! There is a disaster’ – ‘Disaster’ means there is some calamity which has taken place. Literally, ‘disaster’ means ‘an evil star.’ So when I say… ‘This disaster’ every one knows what I mean is ‘a calamity’, not about the evil star.’ Dr. William Campbell and I know, when a person who is mad, we call him a lunatic - Yes or no? At least I do, and I believe Dr. William Campbell also will be doing that. We call a person ‘a lunatic’ – He is ‘mad.’ What is the meaning of ‘lunatic’? It means… ‘struck by the moon’ - But that is how the language has evolved. Similarly sun rise, is actually, it is just a usage of words. And Allah has given the guidance for the human beings also - He uses so, that we understand. So it is just ‘sunset’ - Not that it is actually setting - Not that sun is actually rising. So this explanation clearly gives us a clear picture, that the Verse of the Qur’an of Surah Kahf, Chapter.18, Verse No 86, is not in contradiction with established science - That is the way how people speak.

Where exactly in the bible does it say that being gay or a lesbian is a sin?

Being gay is not a sin it's all about being happy. God wants everyone to be happy wether it's with the same sex or the opposite sex. If you want to get technical, for the people who are quoting scriptures out of the bible, what is the bible other than a man made book to try to keep the people who read it compliant to what is written in it. Who to say that it is even translated correctly. For those who say homosexuals are not going to heaven, who's to say you are. The bible also say do not judge or you to will be judged.

As a minister I can assure you just because you are gay this not what will keep you out of heaven. No where in the bible does it ever imply that because you are gay you are a sinner. Now however it does teach that if you practice sin ,that is what will send you to hell. It is the practice of homosexuality that is sinful. the same applys to a whole lot of straight folks to. Adultry ,fornication ,lying etc.\n Read and study these verses : You will find it is Sin against Gods will that sends folks to hell and sin applys to all people . \n NIV 1 Timothy 1:9-10\n9 We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, \n10 for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine \n\n\nNIV 1 Timothy 4:1-3\n1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. \n2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. \n3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. \n\n\nNIV Revelation 21:7-8\n7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. \n8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." \n\n\nNIV Romans 1:21-32\n21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. \n22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools \n23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. \n24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. \n25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. \n26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. \n27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. \n28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. \n29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, \n30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; \n31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. \n32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. \n\n\nNIV Romans 13:13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:9 I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- \n\n\nNIV 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler.

Ode to the West Wind and Ode on a Gracian Urn?

Ode to the West Wind\nP. B. Shelley\n\nO WILD West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being— \nThou from whose unseen presence the leaves dead \nAre driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, \nYellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, \nPestilence-stricken multitudes!—O thou \nWho chariotest to their dark wintry bed \nThe wingèd seeds, where they lie cold and low, \nEach like a corpse within its grave, until \nThine azure sister of the Spring shall blow \nHer clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill \n(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air) \nWith living hues and odours plain and hill— \nWild Spirit, which art moving everywhere— \nDestroyer and Preserver—hear, O hear! \n \nThou on whose stream, 'mid the steep sky's commotion, \nLoose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed, \nShook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean, \nAngels of rain and lightning! they are spread \nOn the blue surface of thine airy surge, \nLike the bright hair uplifted from the head \nOf some fierce Mænad, ev'n from the dim verge \nOf the horizon to the zenith's height— \nThe locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge \nOf the dying year, to which this closing night \nWill be the dome of a vast sepulchre, \nVaulted with all thy congregated might \nOf vapours, from whose solid atmosphere \nBlack rain, and fire, and hail will burst:—O hear! \n \nThou who didst waken from his summer-dreams \nThe blue Mediterranean, where he lay, \nLull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams, \nBeside a pumice isle in Baiæ's bay, \nAnd saw in sleep old palaces and towers \nQuivering within the wave's intenser day, \nAll overgrown with azure moss, and flowers \nSo sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou \nFor whose path the Atlantic's level powers \nCleave themselves into chasms, while far below \nThe sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear \nThe sapless foliage of the ocean, know \nThy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear \nAnd tremble and despoil themselves:—O hear! \n \nIf I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear; \nIf I were a swift cloud to fly with thee; \nA wave to pant beneath thy power, and share \nThe impulse of thy strength, only less free \nThan thou, O uncontrollable!—if even \nI were as in my boyhood, and could be \nThe comrade of thy wanderings over heaven, \nAs then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed \nScarce seem'd a vision,—I would ne'er have striven \nAs thus with thee in prayer in my sore need. \nO lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud! \nI fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed! \nA heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd \nOne too like thee—tameless, and swift, and proud. \n \nMake me thy lyre, ev'n as the forest is: \nWhat if my leaves are falling like its own! \nThe tumult of thy mighty harmonies \nWill take from both a deep autumnal tone, \nSweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, \nMy spirit! be thou me, impetuous one! \nDrive my dead thoughts over the universe, \nLike wither'd leaves, to quicken a new birth; \nAnd, by the incantation of this verse, \nScatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth \nAshes and sparks, my words among mankind! \nBe through my lips to unawaken'd earth \nThe trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, \nIf Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? \n\n\nOde on a Grecian Urn \nJohn Keats (1795–1821). \n\nTHOU still unravish’d bride of quietness, \nThou foster-child of silence and slow time, \nSylvan historian, who canst thus express \nA flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: \nWhat leaf-fring’d legend haunts about thy shape \nOf deities or mortals, or of both, \nIn Tempe or the dales of Arcady? \nWhat men or gods are these? What maidens loth? \nWhat mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? \nWhat pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? \n \nHeard melodies are sweet, but those unheard \nAre sweeter; the

I bleed! \nA heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd \nOne too like thee—tameless, and swift, and proud. \n \nMake me thy lyre, ev'n as the forest is: \nWhat if my leaves are falling like its own! \nThe tumult of thy mighty harmonies \nWill take from both a deep autumnal tone, \nSweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, \nMy spirit! be thou me, impetuous one! \nDrive my dead thoughts over the universe, \nLike wither'd leaves, to quicken a new birth; \nAnd, by the incantation of this verse, \nScatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth \nAshes and sparks, my words among mankind! \nBe through my lips to unawaken'd earth \nThe trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, \nIf Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? \n\n\nOde on a Grecian Urn \nJohn Keats (1795–1821). \n\nTHOU still unravish’d bride of quietness, \nThou foster-child of silence and slow time, \nSylvan historian, who canst thus express \nA flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: \nWhat leaf-fring’d legend haunts about thy shape \nOf deities or mortals, or of both, \nIn Tempe or the dales of Arcady? \nWhat men or gods are these? What maidens loth? \nWhat mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? \nWhat pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? \n \nHeard melodies are sweet, but those unheard \nAre sweeter; the

Are you a big sissy ?

We are commanded in 1 Corinthians 16:13, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” Years ago, when I was just a young preacher-boy, Chick Tract had an interesting tract called “Big Sissy.” I do not remember what the tract was about, but I do remember that the title “Big Sissy” really caught my eye. I have never wanted to be labeled a sissy. My father was a rough and tough marine who saw action during the Korean War as one of the “Frozen-Chosen” in the Chosin Reservoir. He was no sissy, and he did not want his boy to be a sissy either. \n\nWere you as turned off by Spain and France as I was, when you heard about their decision to pull out of the war because of their casualties? Did Spain not think that they would suffer some type of loss in war? I mean-come on-if you are going to fight, you are going to get some blood on you from time to time; and some of that blood will be your own. Perhaps they should have read Luke 14:31: “Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand.” As far as France goes, did we really expect them to get involved in war? Think about it; they could not drive the Germans out of their own country during World War II. If it were not for the United States of America, France would be speaking German today. I think they both are Big Sissies. \n\nI believe the trend that we see in Spain and France can be seen in fundamentalism today. I am quite concerned that part of the problem with our churches today is that many pastors have, like Spain and France, just become Big Sissies! Oh, they will get in their pulpits to preach and scream out about the compromise of a “Jerry Falwell.” They will preach out against the “Jimmies” of their day, such as Jimmy Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, and Jimmy Jones; but God forbid that they address the issues in their own church or in their own fellowship. \n\nI am afraid that some pastors become Big Sissies when it comes to addressing certain people, such as the chairman of the deacon board, Sunday school teachers, bus captains, or others in positions. Pastor, when was the last time you said to your deacons, “No, we are not going to do that!” Hey, Pastor, do you realize that God has named you as the “Overseer” of the church? Well, if you are the “Overseer,” then you had better oversee the work of the ministry because God is holding you accountable for that ministry. Hey, why don’t you give the “Jerry’s” and the “Jimmies” a break and address the real issues in your own back yard! Why don’t you address the unfaithful Sunday school teachers, bus captains, and children’s church workers? Why don’t you address their lack of devotion and their need to be soulwinners? You must deal with these certain people and stop being a Big Sissy! \n\nI am afraid that some pastors become Big Sissies when it comes to addressing certain places. It is amazing to me how some Pastors are more dedicated and devoted to their alma mater than to the cause of Christ. I feel sorry for men that are such “men-pleasers” that they will not even pastor their church. They only invite certain men to preach, and that is only after they have the blessing from Dr. Big Shot from the University. Doesn’t the Bible state clearly in Ephesians 6:6, “Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;”? Many years ago, I had a dear friend tell me that his alma mater had contacted him and told him that he was not to have Dr. John R. Rice preach for him. After he had received that telephone call, he knew that he had to have him, or else he would be bowing and answering to “Mecca” for the rest of his life.

I'm not reading now. Just answering the question. Yes and No. It depends on which brother is talking. To the older one, I am a little sissy; but to the younger one, yes, I am a big sissy.

Wrestler: Rey Mysterio Jr. \nReal Name: Oscar Gutierrez Rubio \nBirthday: December 12, 1974 \nBorn: San Diego, California \nHometown: San Diego, California \nMarital Status: Married to Angie\nDaughter: Aayliah\nSon: Dominic \nHeight & Weight: 5'3" - 140 lbs \nTrained by: Rey Misterio Sr \nDebut: April 30, 1989 \n\nFinishing Move: 6-1-9 & West Coast Pop \n\nFavorite Moves: Super Huracanrana ,The Nutcracker Suite \n,Springboard Diving Headbutt Drop,Apron-Dive Bulldog Lariat,Apron-Dive Huracanrana,Armbar Stretch Hold,Asai Moonsault,Baseball Slide Headscissors Takeover\nBombs Away ,Bronco Buster,Bulldog out of Bodyscissors\nCatapult Somersault Huracanrana Suicida,Sitdown Gutwrench,Powerbomb,Dropping the Dime (Springboard Leg Drop),Hammerlock Stretch Hold,Missile Dropkick,The Misterio Express,Split-Legged Moonsault Splash,Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takeover,Thesz Press \n\nNotable Feuds: Chris Jericho,Kurt Angle,Chris Benoit,Matt Hardy,The Big Show,Chavo Guerrero,Eddie Guerrero,John Bradshaw Layfield\n \nMysterio is a luchador as is his uncle and trainer, Rey Misterio, Sr. He debuted as a wrestler in April 1989 at the age of 14 in Tijuana, Mexico. He was too young to wrestle in the United States (U.S.) and athletic commission there would give him a license at his young age. Technically he was also underage in Mexico, but enforcement was generally lax. In Mexico, using the stage name Colibri (hummingbird in Spanish) he began a feud with another luchador, Psicosis (who is also trained by Rey Misterio, Sr.) which lasted several years even after his career moved to the U.S. When Oscar turned 18 his uncle allowed him to use the ring name "Rey Misterio, Jr." Oscar later changed the spelling to "Rey Mysterio, Jr." Rey Mysterio translates to "King of Mystery."\n\nIn 1995 he defeated Psicosis during their debut match on Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), making their first real impacts in American professional wrestling, outside of the WCW-promoted When Worlds Collide pay-per-view (PPV). Their feud stopped for a while after a Mexican Death Match in November 1995 at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia. Rey also appeared at ECW One Night Stand reunion show where he defeated Psicosis once again.\n\nIn 1996, he joined Psicosis in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), continuing their feud on and off for a few years. Rey would find success there, winning the WCW Cruiserweight Championship on numerous occasions.\n\nIn 1999 he was involved in a feud with Kevin Nash. During this feud Rey showcased his willingness to put his body on the line for his fans and career when he allowed Nash to brutally launch him into the side of a truck. The footage of this incident was shown on WCW television for weeks to show the sadism of the nWo wrestlers, the heart of the luchadores, and more specifically, Rey Mysterio Jr. The feud with Nash culminated in a Caballera vs. Mascara Match (Hair vs. Mask) in which Rey lost. Unmasked, he still had a moderately successful career in WCW with The Filthy Animals until it was sold to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 2001.\n\nRey then went back to Mexico to work for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, unmasked, being involved in some high profile matches.\n\nIn 2002, Rey signed with WWE, but was asked to wear the mask again. In Mexico, one could be fined or even have their license suspended in lucha libre by the Box y Lucha Commission for this; there, once a wrestler loses his mask, he cannot regain it. In deference to this tradition, Rey continues to not wear a mask when performing in Mexico. This includues non-wrestling appearances in the Rey Mysterio: 619 DVD produced by WWE, although he wore a mask on the recent tour in Mexico on January 1 and January 20, 2006.\n\nRey is known for his aerial wrestling techniques and has won the WCW/WWE Cruiserweight championship eight times - more than anyone else in history. Rey also performed on the WWE Originals CD (2004) with a bilingual song called

dont be offended, but, why most of jewish ppl denying the existance of jesus??

we dont deny his existence, just that he was the messiah.\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, hopefully, we stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgives us. And what book do we read on Yom Kippur afternoon? The Book of Jonah!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his nobles, saying, Let \nneither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste \nanything; let them not feed nor drink water; \nbut let man and beast be covered with \nsackcloth, and cry mightily unto Gd; yea, let \nthem turn every one from his evil way, and \nfrom the viol

What should I do, with something like ADHD ... ?!?

I'm a 24 years old guy.\nSince I remember, I had some problems in educating.\n\nBut now, I have an important exam in about 25 days and this time, I think I cant breakaway this problem.

Does anyone ever seen a ghost ! I mean in a reality life ?

The truth is they never had a ghost in a real lifetime but ..................there are some shadows like ghost like ORPS or LIGHTNING BALL THINGS or some small light in the air at night dark.............IT'S ALL REAL cause i've seen it and record it..........they never ever a ghost..........

Ya, Ofcourse.\nActually I & my family slept with it for complete 2 nights in complete anonity.\nBrief description: Actually, in our relation, there occurred a death. The dying person was a lady (married) and having a 3 month old baby in her womb. Then there is a long time interval of nearly 3-4 years passed in Court and legal cases, etc.\nNow I come to main issue. Due to this court and legal matter, all the family in-laws members of the deceased lady were in jail, except 3 children (one boy = 4 years old named Mannu, actual son of deceased lady, one girl = 5 years old named Komal, and other boy = 6-7 years old named Kapil). These three were very small and have to live in their home, lonely. So, all the other relatives decided that to help them, one by one among the left of the relatives, will stay at their home in turn matter. So, this turn matter continues.\nNow what actually happened is that, one turn came of this girl, named ASHA (21-22 years old). She was living happily at their home, lonely with those 3 children. Then, suddenly after 3-4 days, the parents of Asha were continuously being informed by neighbours of place, where Asha was living with the 3 children, that Asha is not doing work, she continues to sleep,etc. Their family members thought it is a regular issue of this age that, this age girl not wants to work and stay away from their home. They thought it to be a normal issue. After 1 ½ days of these issues being continuous, my (me, Parmod from romeonaamera@yahoo.co.in) family decided to bring the girl back home. So, my elder brother, Manish brought her home at night 10 pm. She came normal, actually not normal, and she did strange gestures of ghost like, which I cannot explain verbally. We thought that this may be due to living lonely in a home, having occurred a death. So, we neglected her gestures. But after one day, when she was at our home, her own parents came to take her to their home. To our shock…..\nAs soon as this girl, saw the first sight of her mother, She did a very strange (actually ghost like) action, which is totally dramatic and dreadened. We all thought this is also normal, of a child, on seeing her mother after a long interval of time. So, we all neglected this also. But.. to our very anonity. This girl, was actually intercepted and entered into by the ghost of the lady named Madhu, which I described above as the dying person. In the evening of that day, she actually is starting showing her actions, etc.\nQ. 1What is our name?\nA. 1Though her real name is Asha only, but she took the name of the dying lady, named Madhu.\nQ. 2Where do you live?\nA. 2.Though She lived at near Shahdara but she explained that she has come from the home of Madhu (i.e. from Ghaziabad).\n\nThese are only some of the few questions among a large number of other normal, and small questions, which she also explained if she was not Asha but actually is Madhu (the dead lady). Then after that day, we all family members took her to a priest to make look into the matter, if what she is saying. (Only Indians can understand nowabout this). The pandit (Hindu priest) also inquired with the girl and after many-many questions, just concluded that this girl or this person whom, I am speaking is not Asha, but Madhu (the deceased lady). Can anyone understand, what I am saying? The matter, which the Asha was speaking (the actual live girl), is not spoken by this girl, but by the dead lady named, Madhu, whose GHOST had actually entered into the body of a live girl Asha.\nThen, this girl was returned to our (my own home). She remained with us for complete two days and 2 nights.\nOh my God, only I and my younger sister can tell, how we have spent those 2 days and 2 nights, with a GHOST in our home. That ghost actually did not slept for that period spent at our home and continulusly mourned of . The GHOST Madhu continuously asked for meeting with her child, (discussed above, one boy 4 years old, named, Mannu).

This girl, was actually intercepted and entered into by the ghost of the lady named Madhu, which I described above as the dying person. In the evening of that day, she actually is starting showing her actions, etc.\nQ. 1What is our name?\nA. 1Though her real name is Asha only, but she took the name of the dying lady, named Madhu.\nQ. 2Where do you live?\nA. 2.Though She lived at near Shahdara but she explained that she has come from the home of Madhu (i.e. from Ghaziabad).\n\nThese are only some of the few questions among a large number of other normal, and small questions, which she also explained if she was not Asha but actually is Madhu (the dead lady). Then after that day, we all family members took her to a priest to make look into the matter, if what she is saying. (Only Indians can understand nowabout this). The pandit (Hindu priest) also inquired with the girl and after many-many questions, just concluded that this girl or this person whom, I am speaking is not Asha, but Madhu (the deceased lady). Can anyone understand, what I am saying? The matter, which the Asha was speaking (the actual live girl), is not spoken by this girl, but by the dead lady named, Madhu, whose GHOST had actually entered into the body of a live girl Asha.\nThen, this girl was returned to our (my own home). She remained with us for complete two days and 2 nights.\nOh my God, only I and my younger sister can tell, how we have spent those 2 days and 2 nights, with a GHOST in our home. That ghost actually did not slept for that period spent at our home and continulusly mourned of . The GHOST Madhu continuously asked for meeting with her child, (discussed above, one boy 4 years old, named, Mannu).

how meny ( gold ) repeat in the nobel quran?

It depends on the translation you are using. Based on what I have, the word "gold" is repeated 10-13 times.\n\nPalmer translation:\n Sura 3 - Imran's Family\n Seemly unto men is a life of lusts, of women, and children, and hoarded talents of gold and silver, and of horses well-bred, and cattle, and tilth;- that is the provision for the life of this world; but God, with Him is the best resort. \n\n Verily, those who misbelieve and die in misbelief, there shall not be accepted from any one of them the earth-full of gold, though he should give it as a ransom. \n\n Sura 9 - Repentance or Immunity\n O ye who believe! verily, many of the doctors and the monks devour the wealth of men openly, and turn folk from God's way; but those who store up gold and silver and expend it not in God's way,- give them glad tidings of grievous woe! \n\n Sura 17 - The Night Journey\n And they say, 'We will by no means believe in thee, until there gush forth for thee a fountain from the earth; or there be made for thee a garden of palms and grapes, and rivers come gushing out amidst them; or thou make the sky to fall down upon us in pieces; or thou bring us God and the angels before us; or there be made for thee a house of gold; or thou climb up into the heaven; and even then we will not believe in thy climbing there, until thou send down on us a book that we may read \n\n Sura 18 - The Cave\n These, for them are gardens of Eden; beneath them rivers flow; they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and shall wear green robes of silk, and of brocade; reclining therein on thrones;-pleasant is the reward, and goodly the couch! \n\n Sura 22 - The Pilgrimage\n ' Verily, God will make those who believe and do right enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow; they shall be bedecked therein with bracelets of gold and with pearls, and their garments therein shall be of silk, and they shall be guided to the goodly speech, and they shall be guided to the laudable way. \n\n Sura 35 - The Angels\n Gardens of Eden shall they enter, adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments therein shall be silk; and they shall say, 'Praise belongs to God, who has removed from us our grief; verily, our Lord is forgiving, grateful! who has made us alight in an enduring abode of His grace, wherein no toil shall touch us, and there shall touch us no fatigue \n\n Sura 43 - Gilding\n Unless then bracelets of gold be cast upon him, or there come with him angels as his mates... \n\n Dishes of gold and pitchers shall be sent round to them; therein is what souls desire, and eyes shall be delighted, and ye therein shall dwell for aye; for that is Paradise which ye are given as an inheritance for that which ye have done. \n\n Sura 56 - The Inevitable\n And gold-weft couches, reclining on them face to face. \n\nPickthall translation: \n\n Sura 3 - The Family Of Imran\n 14 Beautified for mankind is love of the joys (that come) from women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded (with their mark), and cattle and land. \n\n And among them there is he who, if thou trust him with a piece of gold, will not return it to thee unless thou keep standing over him. \n\n 91 Lo! those who disbelieve, and die in disbelief, the (whole) earth full of gold would not be accepted from such an one if it were offered as a ransom (for his soul). \n\n Sura 9 - Repentance\n They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom, \n\n Sura 17 - The Israelites\n 93 Or thou have a house of gold; or thou ascend up into heaven, and even then we will put no faith in thine ascension till thou bring down for us a book that we can read. \n\n Sura 18 - The Cave\n 31 As for such, theirs will be Gardens of Eden, wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be give

Jesus was different from all other human beings of any time and place, and He makes the difference. \n\nBy His words, Jesus set the perfect example.\nNobody ever spoke as He did. His teachings expressed the perfect example in ethics, conduct, and worship (see Matthew 5-7). However, Christianity is more than just a set of noble teachings. \n\nBy His life, Jesus was the perfect example\nJesus was the only one, ever, who could declare that He was without sin (John 8:46). His claim was confirmed by friends and foes alike (Luke 23:14; Matthew 27:4; Matthew 27:24; Luke 23:47). \n\nJesus lived every word that He spoke. Yet no man, on His own, can perfectly follow Jesus' example. \n\nBy His power, Jesus enables us to follow His example.\nJesus doesn't simply order us to do good; rather, He changes our hearts so that we love doing good. A miracle is performed in every person who puts his trust in the perfection of Christ. \nThrough faith, we can be spiritually "born again" into the family of God. This miracle has happened in the lives of millions throughout history, whom God has changed from hopeless sinners to beloved sons by the power and work of His Holy Spirit. \n\nThe Big Question, The Big Decision... \nAnd, now, there is a question to be asked:\n\nWHAT DO YOU THINK OF JESUS CHRIST? \n\nThe Quran views Jesus as just a good human being who performed some miracles. The Quran denies His crucifixion: it is too degrading, and cannot accept His Lordship: it is too exalting.\n\nYet, in order to save us from sin, Jesus of the Bible was both. He lowered Himself to where sin had brought us, and redeemed us on the Cross. Then He lifted us to heaven, and reconciled us with God.\n\nFrom the beginning, God had a plan for the eternal salvation of mankind. This plan is non-negotiable, non-changeable. After Adam and Eve had fallen into sin, God provided that the seed of the woman (Jesus) shall bruise the serpent's (Satan's) head, and that the serpent will bruise His heel (Genesis 3:15). Throughout the Old Testament, God was dealing with His people through sacrifices which point to the coming sacrifice of Jesus Christ. After Jesus was born, John the Baptist declared that Jesus Christ was "The Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John 1:29. This declaration and all the promises of the Old Testa

Why is it ok for a police officer to treat me like crap for not having insurance, but let a drunk go?

I was pulled over by a police officer and he treated me like crap for not having insurance on my car and told me it was people like me that makes insurance rates high,{ i live in michigan and the no fault insurance law doesnt pay any way}, but a couple years later i find out he lets a friend of mine who had been drinking, and i pretty sure was above the legal limit, go because he knew his dad. Who do you ask questions to without becoming a target? I think this town is in the good ol boys network.

If the cop treated you like crap, he was wrong. Period. It happens, but it's still wrong.\n\nSince you have no way to know if your friend was over the legal limit or not (i.e., breaking the law or not), you really are in no position to pass judgement on what the cop did. You are talking as if you know *for a fact* that your friend was over the limit, and that the only reason he was let go was because the cop knew the guy's dad. That makes two assumptions that you really can't make. \n\nBut what you want to know is who to ask questions of. What questions? \n\nIf you want to know why he treated you like crap, you can ask me. Because he's human. Because if he really did treat you like crap, he was wrong. Because he might have been having a really crappy day, just like anyone else. Because of a dozen other reasons, none of which would have justified him taking it out on you, if that's what he did.\n\nIf you want to know why he let your friend go for being under the influence, you have to ask him. I would like to think it was because your friend wasn't breaking the law (you being "pretty sure" he was over the limit is hardly enough evidence to condemn the cop over). Might be your friend wasn't drunk enough to be in violation, and the cop figured he'd drop a word to your friend's dad about it and let it go at that. I've not written tickets to kids before because I knew their parents and knew the kid would pay a much higher price with their parents than with me :)\n\nBut who to ask? Probably nobody. I don't think you'd want to talk to the cop, based on the way he treated you (and frankly, if he let your friend go due to the cop's relationship with your friend's dad, he's probably not going to admit that to you anyway). You could make a formal complaint with his agency, but again...you have no way of knowing your friend was over the limit and if in the cop's professional opinion he was not, end of story.\n\nBottom line: move on. You might not have been treated fairly or politely, but if there was any wrongdoing you're never going to get anyone to admit it or be able to prove it. I'm sorry you were left with the experience you were.\n\nEDIT 2/11/06:\n\nIf you really want to talk to someone about it, you can try to talk with the Chief of Police. If you're just going to walk in there and explain yourself the way you did here, I wouldn't count on too much feedback. No matter what anyone in your friend's car tells you, it proves nothing as far as anyone's level of intoxication. There's a legal limit to be guilty of DUI and it might be the cop didn't think your friend was there....maybe had been drinking (which seems obvious enough from your posts), but not necessarily over the limit. Nobody...not your friend, not the passengers in the vehicle, not you, not me, and without a chemical test not even the cop who made the stop knows for sure if your friend was over the limit. If the cop thought he was close but not over, it might have been perfectly appropriate to let him go with the comment about knowing his dad. I don't know what state you're in, so I don't know what the laws are there but here in California, the legal limit is .08% for adults. That means it's legal to drive at an .07%...and there's nothing I can do about an adult driving at .07% because it's not illegal.\n\nThis is getting a little involved and there isn't enough information in your post to be able to comment much more on what might have happened versus what you think happened. If you want to talk to anyone, you can talk to the Chief or maybe someone at City Hall or whatever the equivalent is in your city or town. I think you're missing the point here, but I wish you luck if you choose to try and talk to someone about it.

Trophy Lalique \n\nParis, France \n13 - 16 November 1997\n\n \n\nLADIES \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Laetitia Hubert FRA 2 1 \n2 Tara Lipinski USA 1 2 \n3 Vanessa Gusmeroli FRA 5 3 \n4 Lu Chen CHN 4 4 \n5 Krisktina Czako HUN 3 6 \n6 Elena Ivanova RUS 6 5 \n7 Fanny Cagnard FRA 7 7 \n8 Eva-Maria Fitze GER 8 8 \n9 Jennifer Robinson CAN 10 9 \n10 Marta Andrade SPN 11 10 \n11 Hanae Yokoya JPN 9 11 \n\nNotes: \n\nLaetitia Huber pulled off a surprise vistory beating both World Champion Tara Lipinski and World Bronze medallist Vanessa Gusmeroli. She skated a clean short and in the long she was fast and dynamic. She landed five triples in the long. Said Hubert, "It's encouraging, I'm working really hard now mentally. This year we're showing that the old girls are still in it." (Huber is 23.)\n\nCompeting with a head cold, Tara Lipinski also landed five triple in the long, but she doubled a triple Lutz, and singled the second jump in her planned triple loop - triple loop copmbination. Gusmeroli landed four triples, and fell on triple loop. Lu Chen still has not regained her form of old, and without the full range of triple she once possesed could only manage a fourth place finish.\n\n \n\nMEN \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Alexei Yagudin RUS 2 1 \n2 Philippe Candeloro FRA 4 2 \n3 Igor Pashkevitch AZE 3 3 \n4 Todd Eldredge USA 1 5 \n5 Evgeny Pliuta UKR 7 4 \n6 Thierry Cerez FRA 5 6 \n7 Jeffrey Langdon CAN 6 7 \n8 Zhengxin Guo CHN 8 8 \n9 Frederic Dambier FRA 9 9 \n10 Selichi Suzuki JPN 11 10 \n Michaeal Hopfes GER 10 \n\nNotes: \n\nAlexei Yagudin began his long program by landing triple Axel on two feet, but then went on to land six triple and a quad toe loop. He completed quad toe, triple Axel - triple toe, double Lutz, triple flip - triple toe, triple Salchow and triple loop.\n\nAfter placing fourth in the short, Philippe Candeloro came back in the long skating his Napoleon program for the last time in competition. Despite a few problems he showed that he is on the way back after last year's season beset by injury. He landed triple Axel - triple toe, triple Lutz, triple loop, and triple toe. A solo triple flip was not clean, he nearly fell on triple Axel, and touched a hand down on triple Salchow. Despite these problems, it was an improvement over Nation's Cup and an encouraging program for his season.\n\nIgor Pashcevitch landed eight triples, but two of these were of poor quality, and he did not have a triple - triple combination. He landed triple Axel - double toe, a double Lutz into triple toe sequence, and triple Salchow, flip, toe loop, and loop. A solo triple Axel and a solo triple Lutz were both done poorly with shaky landings.\n\nEldredge won the short program on a 5-2 split panel, landing triple Axel - triple toe, and triple Lutz; but had problems in the long. He singled his opening triple Axel, then tried another and singled it again. He landed triple Salchow - double toe, triple Lutz - triple toe, and triple loop for a total of four triples. He also landed a double Axel and doubled a planned closing triple Salchow. Speaking about the result, Eldredge's coach Richard Callaghan said, "It was a combination of pain and just missing training time between events." (Eldredge suffered a dislocated shoulder at Skate America.). Earlier Eldredge had said, "I'm only at 75% of where I would like to be." Despite the poor result, Eldredge has sufficient points to guarantee making the series final.\n\nZhengxin Guoattempted two quad jumps. He fell on the first and doubled the second.

How could a "loving" God have a plan for my life that was so cruel? (christianity answers only please)

Though I have never stopped believing in God, some of the things that I have gone through in my life have made me doubt his "holy" purpose for my life. My home life could use a lot of inprovement (namely my father, though our relationship did inprove during my softmore year of H.S. i grew bigger than him, and thus dont fear him anymore, we just avoid each other now), in a period of 2 years i had to bury 4 of my best friends (no one should ever have to go through that), and i could go on for a long time. I began to serve God when i was about 12, and i served him with all of my heart, i finnally had hope, i knew that he cared for me, he was going to make my life better, but he never did anything. the only improvement that i experienced, was when i stood up against my father, but it was a sin ("Honor thy father and mother") If he's so "loving", why is a direct act against one of his commandments the only thing that ever helped me?

At tims in our lives we pass through some very difficult situations and we begin to wonder why certain things are happpening to us, it is almost as if we are alone in this world. It is almost as if nobody cares and we are greatly troubled, our faith and beliefs are really shaken.\n\nWe may even begin to wonder why our loved ones have to die, we question why there is war in this world. We are more troubled when we see innocent people die on in accidents caused by troubled or drunk drivers.\n\nAt other times we are greatly troubled by our family members and our family situations, we wonder why we are in certain family dies, we even question if there is indeed a creator and why are all bad things keep happening, sucide might even be the perfect solution to our predicaments but:\n\nthere is this voice reaching out to us from a loving Father who we may even try to question wheter or not he knows our situation, the word reaches out and tells us that THOUGH SORROW MAY ENDURE FOR SOMETIME, JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.\n\nit is true, you may be passing through really tough times, i have been there, i have even attempted sucide. however i have realised the depth of My Heavenly Father's love even though it is still very difficult for me (to fathom the depth of this love). I have realised that EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN HIM. i know that at times i may pass through some very tough times and think God is not there, but i have come to realise that no matter how bad that situation might be, by trusting in God, He will and He always certainly turns it around for my own. Besides at times when he seems the most silent, i realise that he is only carrying me. \n\nIt is true that doubts will come and your faaher may even make situations worse for you, but one thing i can certainly assure you of is that God knows of your situation, and do not let your doubt steal away the Father's love for you. \n\nContinue praying for your father and realise that in honouring your father you should love the Lord your God with all your heart and all of your strenght (by not doing what is against his will). At times our parents may be pretty difficult, but we must realise that some of them are only trying to show thier love in the way the know our to.\n\nThough going a ggainst God's ways at times gives us a perfect solution, but if we truly search deep within our hearts we often always find out that we only get temporary joy. It may be that dishonouring your father really helped you, but I do not know wheter it invoved your going agsinst God's will.\n\nGod's plans FOR you are of good and not evil, he will certainly give you a hope and a future (JEREMAIH 29:11).\n\nAytime it seems as if the doors of this world are shutting down on you remember that:\n\nEVEN THOUGH YOU WALK THROUGH THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF DEATH, YOU SHOULD FEAR KNOW EVIL, FOR THE LORD IS WITH YOU...(Psalm 23:4)\n\nYour serving and believing in him is no guarranty that you will not pass through problems and bad situations but it is an assurance that he will give you joy, peace and strenght at all times so continue like never before:\n\nTRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND DO NOT RELY ON O YOUR OWN INSIGHT, IN ALL OF YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR PATH STRAIGHT (PROV 3:5-6)\n\nmail me if you want: bilewomo@yahoo.com

What is the virus that has claimed the most lives in human history and what is the status on that virus today?

Far from the deadliest epidemic.\n\nThe Bubonic Plague. \n\nJust mention the name and you will send shivers down the spine of many people. \n\nThere is no doubt that this disease was deadly. Deadly and gruesome to watch. \n\nThe death rate was 90% for those exposed to the bacterium. It was transmitted by the fleas from infected Old English black rats. The symptoms were clear: swollen lymph nodes (buboes, hence the name), high fever, and delirium. In the worst case, the lungs became infected and the pneumonic form was spread from person to person by coughing, sneezing, or simply talking. \n\nFrom the time of infection to death was less than one week. \n\nThere were three major epidemics - in the 6th, 14th, and 17th centuries. \n\nThe death toll was 137 million victims. \n\nAs a result, the plague is considered to be the worst epidemic of all time, but it wasn't (not that we are downplaying the severity of the plague). \n\nAt its worst, the bubonic plague killed 2 million victims a year. \n\nThis is certainly a bad situation, but there is one that is worse. \n\nThe pandemic (an epidemic that is spread worldwide) that killed at least 25 million people in one year. \n\nA disease that is largely forgotten. \n\nA disease that occurred in the 20th century! \n\nI know what you're thinking - AID's, Syphilis, or the dreaded Ebola. \n\nAll are wrong. \n\nIt was the influenza of 1918-1919, right after World War I (the war killed 9 million men in 4 years) \n\nThis was no minor disease - everyone on the planet was at risk. \n\nAnd it was started right here in the good old U. S. of A. \n\nIn one year, nearly twenty million cases were reported in the United States, accounting for almost one million deaths. \n\nThe cause is still unknown, but is believed to have been a mutated swine virus. \n\nIt all started on the morning of March 11, 1918 at Camp Funston, Kansas. \n\nA company cook named Albert Mitchell reported to the infirmary with typical flu-like symptoms - a low-grade fever, mild sore throat, slight headache, and muscle aches. Bed rest was recommended. \n\nBy noon, 107 soldiers were sick. \n\nWithin two days, 522 people were sick. Many were gravely ill with severe pneumonia. \n\nThen reports started coming in from other military bases around the country. \n\nThousands of sailors docked off the East Coast were sick. \n\nWithin a week, the influenza was hitting isolated places, such as the island of Alcatraz. \n\nWhatever the cause, it was clearly airborne. \n\nWithin seven days, every state in the Union had been infected. \n\nThen it spread across the Atlantic. \n\nBy April, French troops and civilians were infected. \n\nBy mid-April, the disease had spread to China and Japan. \n\nBy May, the virus was spread throughout Africa and South America. \n\nThe actual killer was the pneumonia that accompanied the infection. \n\nIn Philadelphia, 158 out of every 1000 people died. 148 out of 1000 in Baltimore. 109 out of 1000 in Washington, D. C.. \n\nThe good news (if there was any) was that the disease peaked within two to three weeks after showing up in a given city. It left as quickly as it arrived. \n\nThe United States death toll was a total of 850,000 people, making it an area of the world that was least devastated by this virus. \n\nSixty percent of the Eskimo population was wiped out in Nome, Alaska. \n\n80-90% of the Samoan population was infected, many of the survivors dying from starvation (they lacked the energy to feed themselves). \n\nLuxury ocean liners from Europe would arrive in New York with 7% less passengers than they embarked with. The confined area of the ship was especially conducive to the spread of the disease. \n\nIn the end, 25 million people had died. Some estimates put the number as high as 37 million. \n\nEighteen months after the disease appeared, the flu bug vanished and has never shown up again. \n\nSo what happened? \n\nUntil recently, no one was really sure. In March of 1997, the news broke that res

Bed rest was recommended. \n\nBy noon, 107 soldiers were sick. \n\nWithin two days, 522 people were sick. Many were gravely ill with severe pneumonia. \n\nThen reports started coming in from other military bases around the country. \n\nThousands of sailors docked off the East Coast were sick. \n\nWithin a week, the influenza was hitting isolated places, such as the island of Alcatraz. \n\nWhatever the cause, it was clearly airborne. \n\nWithin seven days, every state in the Union had been infected. \n\nThen it spread across the Atlantic. \n\nBy April, French troops and civilians were infected. \n\nBy mid-April, the disease had spread to China and Japan. \n\nBy May, the virus was spread throughout Africa and South America. \n\nThe actual killer was the pneumonia that accompanied the infection. \n\nIn Philadelphia, 158 out of every 1000 people died. 148 out of 1000 in Baltimore. 109 out of 1000 in Washington, D. C.. \n\nThe good news (if there was any) was that the disease peaked within two to three weeks after showing up in a given city. It left as quickly as it arrived. \n\nThe United States death toll was a total of 850,000 people, making it an area of the world that was least devastated by this virus. \n\nSixty percent of the Eskimo population was wiped out in Nome, Alaska. \n\n80-90% of the Samoan population was infected, many of the survivors dying from starvation (they lacked the energy to feed themselves). \n\nLuxury ocean liners from Europe would arrive in New York with 7% less passengers than they embarked with. The confined area of the ship was especially conducive to the spread of the disease. \n\nIn the end, 25 million people had died. Some estimates put the number as high as 37 million. \n\nEighteen months after the disease appeared, the flu bug vanished and has never shown up again. \n\nSo what happened? \n\nUntil recently, no one was really sure. In March of 1997, the news broke that res

the monster in ancient greek mythology, its human body bufaloo head, live in labyrinth. no baphomet?

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature that was part man and part bull. It dwelt in the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze constructed by King Minos of Crete and designed by the architect Daedalus to hold the Minotaur. The Minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus.\n\n"Minotaur" is Greek for "Bull of Minos". The bull was also known as Asterius or Asterion, a name shared with Minos's foster father.\n\nThe story\nBefore Minos became king, he asked the Greek god Poseidon for a sign, to assure him that he, and not his brother, was to receive the throne. Poseidon agreed to send a white bull on condition Minos would sacrifice the bull back to the god. Indeed, a bull of unmatched beauty came out of the sea. King Minos, after seeing it, found it so beautiful that he instead sacrificed another bull, hoping that Poseidon would not notice. Poseidon was very angry when he realized what had been done so he caused Minos's wife, Pasiphae, to be overcome with a fit of madness in which she fell in love with the bull. Pasiphae went to Daedalus for assistance, and Daedalus devised a way for her to satisfy her passions. He constructed a hollow wooden cow covered with cowhide for Pasiphae to hide in and allow the bull to mount her. The result of this union was the Minotaur. In some accounts, the white bull went on to become the Cretan Bull captured by Heracles (also known as Hercules) for one of his labours.\n\nThe Minotaur had the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull. It was a fierce creature, and Minos, after getting advice from the Oracle at Delphi, had Daedalus construct a gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur. It was located under Minos' palace in Knossos. Now it happened that Androgeus, son of Minos, had been killed by the Athenians, who were jealous of the victories he had won at the Panathenaic festival. To avenge the death of his son, Minos waged war and won. He then demanded that seven Athenian youths and seven maidens be sent every ninth year to be devoured by the Minotaur. When the third sacrifice came round, Theseus volunteered to go to slay the monster. He promised to his father, Aegeus, that he would put up a white sail on his journey back home. Ariadne, Minos' daughter, fell in love with Theseus and helped him get out of the maze by giving him a ball of thread, allowing him to retrace his path. Theseus killed the Minotaur (with a magical sword Ariadne had given him) and led the other Athenians back out the labyrinth. (Plutarch, Theseus, 15—19; Diod. Sic. i. I6, iv. 61; Apollodorus iii. 1,15). However Theseus forgot to put up the white sails, so his father started crying and fell into the sea. Then it became known as the Aegean Sea.\n\nMinos, angry that Theseus was able to escape, imprisoned Daedalus and his son Icarus in the labyrinth. They were able to escape by building wings for themselves, but Icarus died during the escape as he flew too high and the wax which held the feathers in the wing melted as it was closer to the Sun.\n\nSometimes the Minotaur is represented as a bull with a human torso and head, like a bull version of the Centaur.\n\nTheseus battles the Minotaur on a black-figure vase.[edit]\nInterpretations\nThe contest between Theseus and the Minotaur was frequently represented in Greek art. A Knossian didrachm exhibits on one side the labyrinth, on the other the Minotaur surrounded by a semicircle of small balls, probably intended for stars; it is to be noted that one of the monster's names was Asterius.\n\nThe ruins of Minos' palace at Knossos have been found, but the labyrinth has not. The enormous number of rooms, staircases and corridors in the palace has led archaeologists to believe that the palace itself was the source of the labyrinth myth.\n\nSome modern mythologists regard the Minotaur as a solar personification and a Greek adaptation of the Baal-Moloch of the Phoenicians.

Was this an illegal stop leading to DUI?

Bay Area.... I was driving home with a friend about 130 AM. We were getting off the freeway doing around 45-50 MPH. We passed a cop car that was with another vehicle. My friend yelled out the window "Fuck the police". we were pulled over about a mile down the road. I was never told that anything having to do with my driving was the reason for being stopped. The only reason they gave was because of my friend. Was this illegal? Does not seem lawful to pull someone over because of something being yelled. Also, at the speed we were going, was it possible for them to hear?

Honestly, where do you some of you people get the ideas you get?\n\nTo the asker: assuming everything you said here is 100% factual, and assuming you didn't leave anything out, and assuming you have *all* the facts in the first place, then no, it doesn't sound like there was any probable cause to pull you over. \n\nHowever, here's what I suspect, because I have done this very thing:\n\nI'm the cop you and your friend drove past when he/she yelled whatever they yelled. Evidently, your friend wanted to come to the attention of the police, so I'm generally happy to oblige.

You don't signal where you should, you have a taillight out, your registration is expired, etc., etc., and that provides me probable cause to stop you.

Was this an illegal stop leading to DUI?Bay Area.... I was driving home with a friend about 130 AM. We were getting off the freeway doing around 45-50 MPH. We passed a cop car that was with another vehicle. My friend yelled out the window "Fuck the police". we were pulled over about a mile down the road. I was never told that anything having to do with my driving was the reason for being stopped. The only reason they gave was because of my friend. Was this illegal? Does not seem lawful to pull someone over because of something being yelled. Also, at the speed we were going, was it possible for them to hear?Honestly, where do you some of you people get the ideas you get?\n\nTo the asker: assuming everything you said here is 100% factual, and assuming you didn't leave anything out, and assuming you have *all* the facts in the first place, then no, it doesn't sound like there was any probable cause to pull you over. \n\nHowever, here's what I suspect, because I have done this very thing:\n\nI'm the cop you and your friend drove past when he/she yelled whatever they yelled.

What was the principal type of worship action in judaism of old, generally in connection with an altar?

Sacrifice. But it might interest you to note two things. \n\nFirst, most sacrifices offered had nothing to do with sin. There were all sorts of other reasons to offer a sacrifice, free-will offerings, thanksgiving offerings, just to name two of them.\n\nSecond, please remember that there was no need to offer animal sacrifices, a blood sacrifice was not necessary for the forgiveness of sin:::\n\nThe Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, hopefully, we stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgives us. And what book do we read on Yom Kippur afternoon? The Book of Jonah!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his nobles, saying, Let \nneither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste \nanything; let them not feed nor drink water; \nbut let man and beast be covered with \nsackcloth, and cry mightily unto Gd; yea, let \nthem turn every one from his evil way, and \nfrom the violence that is in their hands. Who \ncan tell if Gd will turn and repent, and turn \naway from his fierce anger that we perish not? \nAnd Gd saw their works, that they turned from \ntheir evil way; and Gd repented of the evil, \nthat he had said that he would do unto them; \nand he did not do it.\n\nPlease notice that Jonah tells us that Gd saw their WORKS, their deeds, how they turned from their evil ways, and Gd forgave them. It does not say that Gd saw their blood sacrifice, they never offered one. It does not say that Gd forgave them because they had the right faith, but rather it says that Gd forgave them because of their deeds!\n\nFurthermore, Where were the sacrifices to have taken place? In the Temple built by Solomon. And what did Solomon himself say at the dedication of this very Temple where these sacrifices were to take place?\n\n1 Kings 8:46-50 If they sin against thee, (for \nthere is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be \nangry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, \nso that they carry them away captives unto the \nland of the enemy, far or near; Yet if they \nshall bethink themselves in the land whither \nthey were carried captives, and repent, and make \nsupplication unto thee in the land of them that \ncarried them captives, saying, We have sinned, \nand have done perversely, we have committed \nwickedness; And so return unto thee with all \ntheir heart, and with all their soul, in the \nland of their enemies, which led them away \ncaptive, and pray unto thee toward their land, \nwhich thou gavest unto their fathers, the city \nwhich thou hast chosen, and the house which I \nhave built for thy name: Then hear thou their \nprayer and their supplication in heaven thy \ndwelling place, and maintain their cause, And \nforgive thy people that have sinned against \nthee, and all their transgressions wherein they \nhave transgressed

Why does everyone have such a problem with Gay people?

We are nice, ethical, tax paying, hard working, law abiding, red blooded Americans, all of those that I know anyway. Why the discrimination? Wasn't this country founded on the very concept "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."\n\nPlain old bigotry is rearing its ugly head again. Why can't our country realize that the other two times this issue came up we were better off having granted full rights to our citizens. No one questions today whether or not women should be able to vote or blacks to eat in whatever restaurant they choose. Why then can a Gay man not defend his country and a Lesbian couple not get married? How is Gay monogomy an assault on straight marriage?\n\nPlease do not reference religion in your response as the authors of the Constitution thought that was the most important thing to point out in the Bill of Rights.

I absolutely agree with you. There is a ridiculous amount of discrimination based on sexual preference. It nauseates me to read some of these answers. \n\nFor example, astro thinks that gay people are misfits. Well, there is bias in that because looking at the number of people in prison, I have a good mind to say that the majority are heterosexual males who have a hard time controlling themselves. \n\npngarrett doesnt want to have homosexual lifestyles shoved down his throat because he (or she or whatever) does not go around saying "look at me I'm heterosexual." Well, if this person has ever held hands with his or her significant other, kissed, been publicly married, etc, then he or she basically HAS gone around saying, "Look at me. I'm a heterosexual."\n\nAll the religiously-based crap is just that: crap.\n\nApparently, fdf1925 is misinformed about what homosexuals actually want. I don't remember seeing anyone asking for special rights. I DO remember seeing many people want EQUAL rights. And for the "normal laws," I am wondering which laws would cover insurance benefits, civil rights, and freedom to be who you are without chastisement for homosexuals? I haven't seen any yet....And for the heterosexuals not displaying their undies or their sex life in public, I would like to remind you of nearly EVERY bit of advertising that goes on in this country. SEX SELLS. Undies do, too. Patrolling for young people??!?! WTF? just...wow.\n\nihelp is a smart one...apparently homosexuality is addictive. I guess that it should be cut and sold by the pound. Could get expensive, though. When we choose to be addicted to this drug called "gay" we might come to the realization that only rehab can help...get us off the "gay" and return to a normal and healthy co-dependent marriage and have children which will be educated to think that the "gay" drug is one of the most addictive. o_O right.\n\nanna1 claims to not want to "hurt the gay paople" but her statement does just that. She is setting up the division between "us and them." How thoughtful.\n\nDonna M Z must think that the Bonobo monkeys are unnatural as well. If hers is a religious belief, that homosexuality is "unnatural," then I challenge her to read up on some of the primate species who actually DO enjoy sex for the sake of it...doesnt matter which sex the other monkey is. If "god" created the Bonobos, they are "his" creatures, and they behave in such a way, then I would have to say that God made some gay monkeys! Yeehaw! Nature is what it is, honey. I hope you have a gay son- that way, you will have to call youself UNNATURAL because you bread the beast.\n\nI'm sorry, but I don't even have the energy to deal with str8_2_it.\n\nGOOD FOR YOU yodasminion!!! My kind of thinker.\n\narikinder "doesnt have a problem with gay people" but wont ever support anything for them. ok....he discounted his statement altogether with that. \n\nSO essentially, I have no answer for your question. Just thought I would make these people feel the same way homosexuals have been feeling for way too long- that is what you feel and what you know to be truth for you is made fun of, ridiculed, told is wrong, forced you to feel hurt, shame, embarassment, etc. I just have one question for all of you people who seem to think that homosexuality is a choice:\n\nDo you honestly think that people would CHOOSE to be treated the way bigoted heterosexuals treat homosexuals? Do you honestly think homosexuals would want that? That ANYONE would want that?

I hope you have a gay son- that way, you will have to call youself UNNATURAL because you bread the beast.\n\nI'm sorry, but I don't even have the energy to deal with str8_2_it.\n\nGOOD FOR YOU yodasminion!!! My kind of thinker.\n\narikinder "doesnt have a problem with gay people" but wont ever support anything for them. ok....he discounted his statement altogether with that. \n\nSO essentially, I have no answer for your question. Just thought I would make these people feel the same way homosexuals have been feeling for way too long- that is what you feel and what you know to be truth for you is made fun of, ridiculed, told is wrong, forced you to feel hurt, shame, embarassment, etc. I just have one question for all of you people who seem to think that homosexuality is a choice:\n\nDo you honestly think that people would CHOOSE to be treated the way bigoted heterosexuals treat homosexuals? Do you honestly think homosexuals would want that? That ANYONE would want that?

I am 16, should I go out with a 22 year old guy without my parents knowing?

He is very nice and HOT! He hasn't ever been in serious trouble and has never done anything to hurt me. I love him so much but my parents don't. They don't think that it is right if a 16 year old goes out with a 22 (almost 23) year old. They said that if I got alot of e-mails saying that it was ok that I might be able too. They need your guys opinons and so do I. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Once again, I know you're not going to want to hear this...but I say NO. There is a reason your parents don't love him - he's too old for you. Age does not become as much of a factor when you're older (read: above 18), but right now, it's just plain illegal. Some states have an age of consent (usually 16 or 17) but if your parents want to, they can press charges against him if it goes beyond anything friendly. \n\nNow, I also know this won't get me a best answer, but that matters not and I will tell you anyway - I've been in a similar situation. I was 14 and very much "in love" (I doubt that you really do love him, after all, how long have you known this older, very nice, very HOT! guy?) with a 19 year old. When my father found out about him, he pressed charges to the full extent of the law. To make a long story short, my sailor boyfriend (he was in the Navy) ended up paying a huge fine, got Dishonorably discharged and did some jail time. I don't know if he had to register on a sex offender list as this was 11 years ago. That makes me 25 (almost 26) now.\n\nI have to ask you, what on earth would a 22 (almost 23) year old want with a 16 year old? You say he's very nice - I hate to tell you, but it's probably an act. The only reason an older guy would be interested in a teenager (yes, you still are a teen, even if you are blossoming into a woman...you're still a minor) would be to get into her pants. The other reason is that you might still be a virgin (I hope so - don't go rushing into that) and well, a lot of guys like that. I doubt there's a lot that you have in common, due to the age gap. \n\nIf he really does care for you, he will wait until you're 18. You won't even be able to drink until he's 27 or 28! Is he gonna want to wait that long before you can enjoy a night on the town? Believe it or not, I know a guy who was arrested for having a drink at home with his wife, who was at the time 20...she was still underage. \n\nHow did you meet this guy? It is kind of bizarre for there to be such an age difference...is he a family friend? A friend's older brother? Please don't tell me you have met him online. Teens and twentysomethings travel in different social circles. There might be another reason your parents don't like him (aside from the obvious) that you don't know about. How do you know he's never been in serious trouble? Have you done a background check on this guy? He might have spent a night in jail for whatever reason, have outstanding debts etc that he is hiding from you. \n\nYou shouldn't go behind your parents' backs - you will lose their respect and obviously you have no respect for them either. Perhaps have him come over and have a discussion between the 6 of you (make his parents come also) over dinner. Perhaps you two can stay in contact (as FRIENDS only) for a couple of years, then explore a relationship. Keep in mind then, he's gonna be almost 25...What do HIS parents think about it? Granted, he's an adult (whereas you are not, even though you might think you are) and his parents really don't have a say in what he does, but it would be good to get their opinion also. They'll probably say the same thing everyone else is. \n\nAlso, if your parents decide that you can date him by going with what STRANGERS online decide, then they have some serious thinking to do about their choices. No matter who says yes (age is just a number I've seen posted a few times here), it is still ILLEGAL and I can't believe they would actually consider it.\n\nI'm sorry that I wasn't a help to you, but you should know how it really is. Any adult (especially judges) will look at this and say it's a classic example of "guy wanting to get into a young girl's pants" and then lock him away. Wait the 2 years. Hell, you might even hate him when you start to

I am 16, should I go out with a 22 year old guy without my parents knowing?He is very nice and HOT! He hasn't ever been in serious trouble and has never done anything to hurt me. I love him so much but my parents don't. They don't think that it is right if a 16 year old goes out with a 22 (almost 23) year old. They said that if I got alot of e-mails saying that it was ok that I might be able too. They need your guys opinons and so do I. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!Once again, I know you're not going to want to hear this...but I say NO. There is a reason your parents don't love him - he's too old for you. Age does not become as much of a factor when you're older (read: above 18), but right now, it's just plain illegal. Some states have an age of consent (usually 16 or 17) but if your parents want to, they can press charges against him if it goes beyond anything friendly. \n\nNow, I also know this won't get me a best answer, but that matters not and I will tell you anyway - I've been in a similar situation. I was 14 and very much "in love" (I doubt that you really do love him, after all, how long have you known this older, very nice, very HOT! guy?) with a 19 year old. When my father found out about him, he pressed charges to the full extent of the law. To make a long story short, my sailor boyfriend (he was in the Navy) ended up paying a huge fine, got Dishonorably discharged and did some jail time. I don't know if he had to register on a sex offender list as this was 11 years ago.

Is it legal for a KY school teacher to tell me that my son needs medication?

My son was acting up in school for a few months. His teacher said that he had ADD and that he needed to be medicated. She said that several other of her children in her class and at home are medicated for ADD/ADHD. He is NOT in this school anymore but I was wondering if it was legal for her to even suggest that he needed medication without an intervention by the school itself?

Hi Nightcanon. It is not illegal for her to have her own opinion but you should definitely be aware that it is illegal if the school recommends or coerces you to medicate your child, especially as a condition for attending school.

There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "ADHD" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy.

can a computer technician bypass a yahoo id & password if he reformat the pc?

i had my pc reformatted then afterwards, i notice that my yahoo id/password was bypass coz the person was able to send emails to the people who are on my list and that even my messenger archive was read. is it possible that computer technician who had reformatted my pc hack my pc?

may be yes & may be not,Its 9 way to hack your account,but all methods its illegal,so don t try it!\n\n1-First and easy is to retrieve your personal information,like birthday date,and others personal info,(its easy if you use a chat) then the hacker simple go in a option of email "forgot the password?"and put the information about you in the answer fields,+ secret answere,so if the secret answere is "what is your pet name?" the hacker can ask you on a normal discussion if you have a pet or someting ele and the name of him,then use this information to answere at the secret answere,and the password is ghiven from the server.\n\n2-If anyone have access to your computer ,he can simply install a keylogger on your computer,its a simply software ,this software record all you type with your keyboard and its undetectable. \n\n3-Need Just a simple password recovery software,he can install it on your pc,is undetectable and this software can automatic decrypt password in the coockies installed in your pc, in special if you have messenger installed \n\n4-Simple backdoor installed on your pc,like subseven or netbus,or anothers software like password senders these software send automatic all password and information on hacker email or direct to the backdoor client in real time. \n\n5-Exploit ,its very difficoult to use an exploit,and the server must have a bug to try this hack method,but is not impossible.\n\n6-Use Brute force software,these software simply use a dictionary and try in automatic mutch passwords to log in your e-mail account \n\n7-Fake Login screen,its a fake page like your original mail login screen,but is not your real page,and is not on the email server,its only a fake page builded by hacker like the original e-mail page login,and if you put your \n\npassword & id in the fields...the password will be send in automatic in the hacker email,and you redirect to the real yahoo page login screen or another website,greeting card etc.. \n\n8-Hack the database of the server email.\n\n9-Just use a trick like this:"Send an email to the Y!mail router server (new addy is here). You send it a letter and usually it will send you on back in less than 24 hours (unless there is high traffic on the Yahoo mail server of course). \nSend a letter to pwd_password_recovery@hacker.c... within the Subject heading place the word "Password router" (not in quotes but has to have a capital P) this way the automated router recognizes your search. Then in the first line of the text field type "password retrieval". Place the name of the yahoo \naccount you want to retrieve that password for into the second line (Do not put @yahoo.com after the ID). In the next line put "Rtrv User; 6391, #1" (the commands for the robot \n, processing the mail).

Who is the greatest football (soccer) player of all time?

Who do you believe is the greatest football(soccer) player of all time and why do you believe that?

PELE top scorer 1281 goals, top WORLD CUP WINNER 3 times.\nMany. many, many championships with santos, Copa Libertadores (several) and Intercontinental Cups (several).\n\n2 \nMaradona WORLD CUP WINNER, UEFA Champions WINNER. \nExtremly famous for his jumping, dribbling and 1 on 1 ability against the keepers. He was so talented for using la rabona, (not the cocaine, la rabona is a way to hit the ball while you cross the hitting leg behind the support leg and then hit the ball at the same time). Too bad he was a DRUG ADDICT and that is the reason why I do not believe he was the greatest!!!. Drugs like cocaine that DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA used, gave him the ability to see everybody else in slow motion, that is the reason why he was so fast and almost never was tackled down because he could resist constant kicks from the defenders, his balance was unbelieveable, totally out of this world for a man his height, only 5 feet 5 inches 1 meter 65 centimeters. \n\n3 \nRoberto Baggio UEFA Champions WINNER HypermegaUltra dribbling ability, fainting, middle and long distance shooting, free kicks and penalty kicks, middle height volleys, too. I never saw him lost on a 1 on 1 against the keeper during this career in the Calcio Italiano. This guy had it all. He was a mini version PELE. \nToo bad he never won a WORLD CUP because he played with an injured leg the final match of the WORLD CUP of USA in 1994.\n\n4 \nJohann Cruyff 2 WORLD CUP SUBCHAMPION \nI have nothing much to say about this demigod of soccer. No WORLD CUPs but the best in his position during the 70s. Not even the brazilian Zico was as good as this guy.\nWith Ajax he was at this top game, and then the injuries never left him alone. Too bad Johann, you were a diabolo.\n\n5 \nMichelle Platini what to say about this master of the ball.\nIntercontinental Cups, Squdettos with La Juve (Squdetto means Local League Championship Winner)\n\n6 \nRonaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excessively ball controller, so good so effective, he is almost unstoppable. Too bad he got injured in the top of this game. Now he is fat, kind of slow and can not take on defenders as well as he used to. \n7 \nRonaldinho WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) haha, splinter the rat from TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is the brother of this BOY. The fastest dribbler nowadays. He can create a scoring play from nowhere. He will win another WORLD CUP, you all will see.\n\n7 Rivaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excellent striking ability as well as bicycle kick ability. Dribbling talent, no doubt about it. Curling the ball was his special trick, he would put excessive power as well as curl in his shots, which made them extremelly difficult for the goalkeepers to retain, as a prove of that just watch his shot against OLIVER KAHN (germany's goal keeper in the final match of KOREA JAPAN 2002) it created the first goal for the Brazilians.\n\n8 \nRomario over 900 goals scored WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time)\nextreme accuracy and usage of the outside part of his right boot, he could score goals crossing the ball in the keepers area from side to side at ground level.\n\n9 \nHugo Sanchez over 400 goals scored Ultra aerial game !! This guy was a F1 airplane (the soccer ball were his missiles)scissors kicks, bicycle kicks, dive heading, over heading, besides of his great accuracy for free kick shoots, dribbling.\n\n10 \nFranz Beckenbauer, DAS KAISER, WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) the best German player ever, over Matthaus, Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Sammer and many other German mann (not bad spelled this is the way Germans use plurar for man in Germany).\n\n11 and on ? I'll let this one at your choice, Puskas, Alfredo Di Stefano, David Beckham, Luis Figo, Ryan Giggs, Manuel Rui Costa, Gabiel Omar Batistuta, Ortega, Luis Hernandez, Cuauhtemoc Blanco. They did not nor will ever win a WORLD CUP. Too bad for them, what a shame.

How do I lose weight without losing muscle?

I am a 34 yr old female with a muscular build. I have always been active and still play soccer (still play), Karate, foot hockey, and go to the gym. I have been told that I should not worry so much about weight because muscle weighs more than fat, but as I get older, I am also gaining weight. My diet is not the best, and maybe it's just a matter of changing my diet to lose the extra pounds, but I have never dieted before so I am clueless about where to even start. Any thoughts?

try taboo and weight lifting often\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads.

Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time.

I am a Jewish man from the tribe of Levi,What is the plan for covering my sins every year?What is the law?HUH?

Since the Jewish relgion does not have a high priest or a temple or an alther to sacrifice lambs or bullocks every year to cover my sins since its the law for them to do so Why do they say that Christianity is a false religion?When it has a high priest and a sacrifice to remove my sins and your religion or my religion no sacrafice to cover my sins when is the last time you sacrificed any animal according to GODs law?And what do you have to offer a Jewish Leivite if you are unable to sacrifice animals every year to cover my sins?Who has a false religion?You have nothing to offer a Jewish Levite.But Christianity has all that you are missing.There is nothing left if the animal sacrifice is over,there is no remission for sin,but for the shedding of blood of bullocks or lambs.Where is the temple?And where is the sacrifice that my GOD requires by law every year for the covering of my sins?Get real,the Jewish religion has nothing to offer a Jewish Levite.We have always been on Gods side.

added 2/6/06 @ 11:17am central time\n\nAnd every response to your additions can be answered by going to http://JewsForJudaism.org as well as http://OutreachJudaism.org as well as http://MessiahTruth.org as well as http://www.geocities.com/realjewsforjesus and so many others. But they wont mean anything to you, because you are now a Christian, and no longer a Jew, IF you ever were one......\n----------\nObviously, for a "Jewish man," you know little of the Bible or of Judaism or of Gd.\n\nPLEASE look at the following::\nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org\nhttp://Convert.org \n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, h

I am a Jewish man from the tribe of Levi,What is the plan for covering my sins every year?What is the law?HUH?Since the Jewish relgion does not have a high priest or a temple or an alther to sacrifice lambs or bullocks every year to cover my sins since its the law for them to do so Why do they say that Christianity is a false religion?When it has a high priest and a sacrifice to remove my sins and your religion or my religion no sacrafice to cover my sins when is the last time you sacrificed any animal according to GODs law?And what do you have to offer a Jewish Leivite if you are unable to sacrifice animals every year to cover my sins?Who has a false religion?You have nothing to offer a Jewish Levite.But Christianity has all that you are missing.There is nothing left if the animal sacrifice is over,there is no remission for sin,but for the shedding of blood of bullocks or lambs.Where is the temple?And where is the sacrifice that my GOD requires by law every year for the covering of my sins?Get real,the Jewish religion has nothing to offer a Jewish Levite.We have always been on Gods side.added 2/6/06 @ 11:17am central time\n\nAnd every response to your additions can be answered by going to http://JewsForJudaism.org as well as http://OutreachJudaism.org as well as http://MessiahTruth.org as well as http://www.geocities.com/realjewsforjesus and so many others. But they wont mean anything to you, because you are now a Christian, and no longer a Jew, IF you ever were one......\n----------\nObviously, for a "Jewish man," you know little of the Bible or of Judaism or of Gd.\n\nPLEASE look at the following::\nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org\nhttp://Convert.org \n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin.

what is Tarika?

Tarika\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n(Redirected from Tariqa)\n\nThe Arabic word Ṭarīqah (طريقه, pl.: ṭuruq, طرق, also: tarika) means "way", "path" or method and, in the Sufi tradition of Islam is conceptually related to Ḥaqīqah, or Truth, the ineffable ideal that is the pursuit of the tradition. Thus one starts at the Sharī`ah, the exoteric or mundane practice of Islam and adopts a tarika towards the Ḥaqīqah.\n\nA ṭarīqah is a Sufi (i.e. mystical), sometimes semi-secret, order of Muslims (followers of Islam). A ṭarīqah has a Murshid, or Guide, who plays the role of leader or spiritual director of the organization. ̣ A Sufi ṭarīqah is a group of Murīd (pl.: Murīdīn), Arabic for desireous, desiring the knowledge of knowing God and loving God (a Murīd is also called a 'Faqīr' or 'Fakir' (Arabic: فقير ) another Arabic word that means poor or needy, usually used as al-Faqīr 'ilá Allāh, English: The needy to God's knowledge (Arabic: الفقير إلى الله )).\n\nNearly every ṭarīqah is named after its founder, and when the order is referred to as a noun -yah is usually added to a part of the founder's name. For example the "Qādirī order," named after Shaykh `Abd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī, is also called the "Qādiriyyah". Often ṭarīqahs are offshoots of other ṭarīqahs for example the Jelveti order founded by Aziz Mahmud Hudayi who are an offshoot of the Bayrami order founded by Hajji Bayram in Ankara who are an offshoot of the zahidiyye founded by Pir Zahid al-Gaylani in Iran. The Khalwatī order are a particually splintered order with numerous offshoots such as the Jerrahī, Sunbulī, Nasuhī, Karabashiyyah and others, the Tijaniyyah order prevalent in West Africa also has its roots in this Tariqa.\n\nIn most cases, the Shaykh nominates his 'Khalīfah' or successor during his lifetime, who will take over the order. In rare cases, where the shaykh dies without naming a khalīfah, the Murīds of the ṭarīqah elect another spiritual leader through a vote. In some orders, it is recommended to take a khalīfah from the same order as their Murshid. In some groups it is customary for the khalīfah to be the son of the shaykh, although in other groups the khalīfah and the shaykh are not normally relatives.\n\nṬarīqahs have a Silsilah (سلسلة) meaning chain or, more idiomatically, a lineage of various Shaykhs that eventually leads back to Muhammad. Almost all order except the Naqshbandi order has a Silsilah that leads back to Muhammad through `Alī. (The Naqshbandi Silsilah goes back to Abu Bakr the first Caliph of Sunni Islam and then Muhammad.) This has led some Western writers on Islam to wrongly assume that many of the Ṭarīqas have a Shi`ite influence within them, although this idea falls short when it is remembered that all of the founders of the main Sufi orders have been Sunni Muslims: `Abd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī adhered to the Ḥanbalī a school (madhhab) of Sunni Islamic law, and almost all of the famous Shaykhs of the Shādhilī order have been staunch Sunni Muslims.\n\nTake the following example, here is the Silsila of the Shādhilī order:\n\nMuhammad \nThe Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib \nImam Husayn \nSheikh Muhammad Jarbadi \nSheikh Sa'id Qirwani \nSheikh Fatih Mas'udi \nSheikh Abu al-Qasim Mirwani \nSheikh Abu Ishaq Ibrahim Basri \nSheikh Qutubuddin Mahmud Qazwini \nSheikh Shamsuddin \nSheikh Tajuddin \nSheikh Abu al-Hasan Ali \nSheikh Taqiuddin Sufi \nSheikh Sharafuddin Madani \nSheikh Abdus Salam ibn Mashish \nSheikh Nuruddin Abu al-Hasan ash Shadhili \nOn the other hand there are in many of the silsilas of the ṭarīqahs names of Shi'ite Imams; take for example the Qadiri silsila:\n\nMuhammad \nThe Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib \nImam Husayn \nImam Ali Zayn al-Abidin \nImam Muhammad Baqir \nImam Ja'far as-Sadiq \nImam Musa al-Kazim \nImam Ali Musa Rida \nMa'
