WHY did Hitler want to destory Jews not some other type of person like Dutch people? Why Jews?

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little.

How Do I Mount This Scope To My BB Gun? Do I Have The Right Parts?

I purchased a Daisy Powerline, Model 693 BB gun recently, along with a Daisy Electronic Point Sight, Model 7809 scope. My gun is CO2 powered with a top-loading, 15-shot clip.\n\nI don't know if I'm doing something wrong! How do I mount it? Where does it mount? Do I have the right scope? Help!

I just checked out the Daisy website and it looks like your sight might not fit the gun without something in between them, BUT BEFORE STARTING MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T A CO2 CARTRIDGE IN THE GUN AND THERE ARE NO BB'S OR PELLETS IN THE GUN AS WELL. ASK A PARENT OR OTHER ADULT TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE THE GUN IS SAFE TO HANDLE AND WORK ON!! ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ADULTS PERMISSION TO DO ANYTHING THAT I MENTION IN THIS ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION AND GET HELP WITH ANY OR ALL OF THIS YOUR PARENTS DECIDE.\n\nTo figure this out check the top of the pistol on the flat part between the sights (top of the "slide") and see if it's got an angled groove on each side about 1/8" from top to bottom. It would kinda look like an angle cut into the slide from near the rear sight tword the front with the deep part of the angle at the bottom of the cut. The bottom of the sight rails would fit into these grooves. If they are there great all you have to do is loosen the screws on the scope rail till the legs are far enough apart to fit over the slide and into the grooves. Then you tighten up the screws firmly, but not too tight and follow the instructions to zero the sight that came with it.\n\nIf the grooves arn't in the slide then to mount the scope you will have to put a "tip off rail" on top of the slide. They are around $4-$10 depending on the brand and can be found at any gunshop or even Wal-Mart. It might be too much of a hassle or cost too much, but heres how. Just make sure make sure the tipoff rail is the right width for the rails on the scope before you start anything.\n\nThe only two ways to mount the rail and have the sight be acurate it to either screw or epoxy it to the slide top. To use screws you'd have to drill and tap the slide-lots of work and you need the right tools. Useing epoxy would be cheap easy and look professional if your careful. The only drawback might be you can't use the regular sights if the rail sticks up too far and gets in the way. To mount the rail with epoxy just cut the rail about 1/8" longer than the rails on the sight you bought. Screww the scope to the cut rail and set it on top of the slide to make sure it fits and isn't in the way of anthing you don't want it to be. Then mark where you want the ends of the rail to be lightly with a pencil or something. Take the scope off the rail and set the rail back down anline it up again with the marks you made. Use some masking tape and after you line it up front to back and side to side tape it down so it is'nt going to move. Mark the slide top lightly and gently around the rail and then take the rail and tape off. now all thats left is to lightly sand the bottom of the rail (that sits on slide) to remove paint (glue dosn't stick to paint well.) You'll need to take some paint off of the top of the slide inside the marks you made. Don't worry about getting close to the edges by the marks a 1/4" wide down th middle is fine. get some more masking tape ready and mix up a small amount of epoxy. The "instant" 5 minute epoxy works very well for this. make sure everythings readyyou have to work quickly once the glue is mixed. Spread a thin layer on the slide where the paint is gone and a very little bit on the rail, but only where it will touch the glueon the slide. Just set the rail on the slide, line it up and tape it down.set the gun up so the slide top isn't tipped or the rail might move. Don't move the gun or the tape until the glue directions say the epoxy has cured fully. When the glue is cured, take off the tape, screw on the scope and follow the directins that came whith the scope to align it. your all set. make sure to follow all of the saftey instructions and warning that came with your daisy pistol. If y ou lost them Daisy can send you a copy, just got to their website and ask. \n\nI'm not sure of your age, but MAKE SURE your PARENTS are ok with you

Trying to quit smoking and i just can't do it!?

I do good all weekend but then when I get to work I want one so bad and almost everyone there smokes and are more than happy to help me out. I am killing myself and I can't stop!

STEP 1\nNOT ALL SMOKERS ARE THE SAME\nIf you've had enough of being a smoker and just want to stop, then just do it! You will improve your chances of success if you get help as soon as possible. Ring Quitline on 0800 00 22 00 or email stopsmoking@quit.org.uk to find out what support will suit you best.\n\nIf you prefer to plan ahead, then that's fine too. Set a date not too far ahead and stick to it. You can use the time to find out what help is available and what should suit you by calling Quitline 0800 00 22 00 or email stopsmoking@quit.org.uk\n\nThe most important thing is that you are committed to your new life as a non smoker!\n\n \n \n \n Step 2\nCHOOSE THE RIGHT SUPPORT FOR YOU\nOnly 3% of smokers succeed by willpower alone\nBoth Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and Zyban have been proven to double a smoker's chance of quitting successfully. If you take NRT or Zyban AND get support from a local stop smoking group you increase your chances by up to 4 times!\n\nCigarettes deliver nicotine very quickly, which contributes to their addictive nature. However the nicotine in NRT is supplied in a slower and more controlled way. This is because NRT is designed to help you quit smoking and so reduces your need for nicotine, until you don't need it anymore.\n\nThere are a wide range of NRT products available. If you are having trouble deciding which product to use, give a QUIT counsellor a ring on 0800 00 22 00 and they will give you independent advice to suit your lfiestyle.\n\nYou could also try www.Click2Quit.com for a free personalised quit plan to help guide you through your quit attempt and a discussion board to talk to others who are quitting too. \n \n \n All NRT products are available on prescription and can also be bought over the counter at pharmacies and large supermarkets. It's important to complete the full course of NRT as this increases your chances of quitting successfully. Some NRT formats may also help reduce weight gain associated with quitting smoking. Here's a brief description of the range of products available, to help you decide if NRT is right for you. Refer to individual packs for further details. \n \n \n \n NICOTINE PATCH\n(NicAssist® - only available at Boots, Nicorette®, NiQuitin CQ®) \nPatches are most helpful to people who like to feel protected from cravings throughout the day. They are easy to use and should be applied to dry non-hairy skin such as the upper arm, thigh or chest. The patches offer a continous supply of nicotine throughout the day to help relieve the withdrawal symptoms and physical cravings you'll experience. You may still get urges to smoke but these will not be as strong.\n\nA patch lasts either 16 or 24 hours, each of which will come in three strengths delivering different amounts of nicotine, which is absorbed slowly through the skin. You are recommended to use them for up to three months depending on the brand you choose, starting off with the most appropriate strength for you. Always follow manufacturers' instructions. Some people experience a slight itching or redness of the skin and this can be lessened by varying the position of the patch when you apply a new one. \n \n \n \n \n NICOTINE GUM\n(NicAssist®, Nicorette®, Nicotinell®, NiQuitin CQ®)\nNicotine gum helps you to control your cravings whenever you feel the urge to smoke. It is different from ordinary chewing gum and can have a bitter taste, especially to begin with, so you may have to persevere in using it. It is important to use it properly to get the full benefit. Theh gum comes in two strengths, regular (2mg) and maximum (4mg) and in a choice of flavours. The brand you select will determine which strength you use. The gum should be chewed slowly and then rested between your gum and the side of your mouth, repeatedly, for about 30 minutes. You should gradually reduce the number of gums you chew after a period of about three months.\n\nMaximum strength NRT

How many Christians here observe both the seventh-day Sabbath, and the Lord's Day on the first day of week?

While a clear mandate is given for the Sabbath in Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15, the closest passage to a command for Sabbath-keeping in the New Testament is found in Hebrews 4:9. In that passage is found the word "sabbatismos". The Authorized Version (King James Version of 1611) and New King James Version and several others render that word as "rest". The American Standard Version of 1901, New American Standard Bible 1995 Updated Edition and several other translations somewhat more correctly render that word as "Sabbath rest". A few, such as the Darby translation, transliterate the word as "Sabbatism". However, its literal translation is "Sabbath observance", and The Scriptures, translated by The Institute For Scripture Research, render it as such, while The Bible in Basic English gives the equally literal "Sabbath keeping". In regard to taking Sabbatismos literally, Professor Andrew T. Lincoln, on page 213 in his symposium From Sabbath To The Lord's Day, states "The use of sabbatismos elsewhere in extant Greek literature gives an indication of its more exact shade of meaning. It is used in Plutarch, De Superstitione 3 (Moralia166A) of Sabbath observance. There are also four occurrences in post canonical literature that are independent of Hebrews 4:9. They are Justin, Dialogue with Trypho 23:3; Epiphanius, Adversus Haereses 30:2:2; Martyrium Petri et Pauli 1; Apostolic Constitutions 2:36:2. In each of these places the term denotes the observance or celebration of the Sabbath. This usage corresponds to the Septuagint usage of the cognate verb sabbatizo (cf. Ex. 16:30; Lev. 23:32; 26:34; 2 Chron. ). Thus the writer to the Hebrews is saying that since the time of Joshua an observance of the Sabbath rest has been outstanding." The literal translation then of Hebrews 4:9 is "Therefore a Sabbath observance has been left behind for the people of God." Further, the internal evidence of the preceding verses would indicate that the Sabbath observance mentioned in this verse is indeed the seventh day Sabbath and not the Lord's Day Sabbath. In verse 8, the Hebrew writer states, "For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have afterward spoken of another day." On first glance in our English translations, that word "another" would give the appearance of a different day. However, in the Greek, there are two words that mean "another". "Heteros" means "another of a different kind", while "allos" means "another of the same kind". The word used in Hebrews 4:8 is "allos", indicating a Sabbath day of the same kind as referred to in Hebrews 4:8-5, that is, the seventh-day Sabbath. In verse 7, the Hebrews writer uses the term "certain day". The Greek word for "certain" is "tis". It is clearly referrencing a specific day, and not the general thought of an eternal rest. The force of Hebrews 3:11-4:11 then seems to be saying that because Christians look toward the eternal rest of heaven, the type or shadow of the earthly Sabbath rest still remains, or is "left behind", literally, for Christians to observe. This is significant, in light of the greater context of the book of Hebrews, which deals with the entire Aaronic priesthood and its methods of worship as found in the Old Covenant being supplanted by the Melchizedek priesthood of Jesus Christ. As the Hebrews writer states in Hebrews 12:27, "And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things which have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain."

Almost all professing Christians disregard the Sabbath and embrace Sunday. Why? The REASON to honor Sunday, is because Sunday is the "venerable day of the sun god," according to Emperor Constantine's decree, and the Pope took it upon himself to change God's Law & rubber-stamp the pagan order. The EXCUSE that many mainliners (Catholic, Protestant, non-denominational) will give is that the Resurrection occurred on Sunday. That is NOT a fact! ~Resurrection Sunday~ is a fallacy! It is a vague possibility, but not even probable.\n\nRef: Matthew 28:1-6, Mark 16:1-6, & Luke 24:1-7 - Neither Scripture nor secular history records a time of the Resurrection to define what day it was for modern, Western believers.\n\nIt says that when the women got to the tomb... they had MISSED the miracle - they were TOO LATE - He was ALREADY risen & out of the tomb!\n\nThe time elements we are given is that it was after the Sabbath - which ends after sunset on Saturday; and it was the first day of the week - which for Jews using God's calendar, started after sunset on Saturday. So there is a blank amount of time from Saturday dusk to Sunday sunrise. He could have risen *anytime before* midnight Saturday.\n\nSo, not knowing when the Resurrection was, it is erroneous (heterodoxy?) to assume that it was Sunday & to change God's Law of His Holy Day of rest & worship. ~Not to mention~ that 'Sunday' is a pagan-named day on the pagan-based calendar. God does not tolerate anything pagan in His worship. That is why I said it is "possible" the Resurrection was on Sunday, but not probable.\n\nGod gave the Sabbath as a gift to man. The NT references to believers gathering on the first day of the week to break bread is evidently Saturday evening (based on the heathen calendar), after the Sabbath ended.... They very well could have been celebrating the Resurrection, they may have unrecorded info that indeed the Resurrection was Saturday! In any event, I would not want to bet my soul that it was a ~Sunday Resurrection~; nor teach others that it WAS ON Sunday!

why aren't christains jews if jesus was a jew?

Because the basic beliefs of Christians are UnBiblical, and against what the Bible says and what the Jews believe!\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, 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

why aren't christains jews if jesus was a jew?Because the basic beliefs of Christians are UnBiblical, and against what the Bible says and what the Jews believe!\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 do you know about Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum?

My son has it, and I can't find any web sites that list anything positive about it. If I didn't tell you he had it, you would never know. I know all that I could find from searching the net, but am looking for personal stories...\ncan also email me at troubledyouthafg@yahoo.com

Ok...Lets face it... in real medicine world. This is a long article and you will love it.\n\nBackground: Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is an anomaly that may occur in isolation or in association with other CNS or systemic malformations. Because the corpus callosum may be partially or completely absent, the term dysgenesis has also been used to describe the spectrum of callosal anomalies.\n\n\nPathophysiology: Dysgenesis of corpus callosum is usually a sporadic occurrence, although the incidence is increased in patients with trisomy 18, trisomy 13, and trisomy 8. Several familial cases have been reported. Organ systems other than the CNS, particularly the musculoskeletal and genitourinary systems, may be affected as well. \n\nFibers of the corpus callosum arise from the superficial layers of the cerebral cortex and they project to the homotypic region of the contralateral cortex by passing through the corpus callosum while crossing the midline. Disturbance of embryogenesis in the first trimester of gestation by some unknown insult leads to failure of the callosal axons to pass across the midline. These arrested axons form the longitudinally oriented bundles of Probst that are located medial to the lateral ventricles in patients with agenesis. \n\nSpectrum of abnormalities \n\nACC can be complete, partial, or atypical. \n\nWith complete agenesis, the corpus callosum is totally absent. \n\nWith partial agenesis (hypoplasia), the anterior portion (posterior genu and anterior body) is formed, but the posterior portion (posterior body and splenium) is not formed. The rostrum and the anterior/inferior genu are also not formed. \n\nAn atypical appearance occurs when the anterior to posterior formation is not respected. \n\nIn holoprosencephaly, callosal anomalies are atypical, eg, the splenium may be present without a genu or body. In middle interhemispheric fusion, a variety of holoprosencephaly, the genu and splenium may be present without the callosal body. \n\nWith pseudo corpus callosum, in conditions of complete or partial agenesis, the hippocampal commissure may become enlarged and appear like the posterior part of the corpus callosum. \n\nSecondary destruction of corpus callosum occurs when the genu and anterior body are destroyed, leaving the posterior portion of the corpus callosum intact. This can occur secondary to porencephaly or schizencephaly, in transcallosal surgical approaches to the lateral and third ventricle, and with hemisection of the callosum for the treatment of seizures. \n\nOther cerebral malformations may coexist with callosal dysgenesis. Examples of these include interhemispheric cysts; intracranial lipomas; and disorders of neuronal migration, such as schizencephaly, neuronal heterotopias, lissencephaly, and pachygyria. \n\nFrequency of abnormalities \n\nThe frequencies of some of the more commonly associated anomalies are as follows: \n\n\nCNS anomalies (85%) \n\nDandy Walker cyst (11%) \n\nInterhemispheric cysts \n\nHydrocephalus (30%) \n\nMidline lipoma of corpus callosum (10%) \n\nArnold-Chiari malformation (7%) \n\nMidline encephalocele \n\nPorencephaly \n\nHoloprosencephaly \n\nHypertelorism median cleft syndrome \n\nPolymicrogyria \n\nGray-matter heterotopia \n\nCardiovascular, GI, and GU anomalies (62%)\n\nFrequency: \n\n\nIn the US: The reported frequency is 0.7-5.3%. \nInternationally: The frequency is not known but could be similar to that in the US. \nMortality/Morbidity: \n\nACC may occur as an isolated defect, but it is frequently associated with other malformations, chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic syndromes. \nAlthough ACC has been found in asymptomatic individuals, it is generally considered a potential marker for neurologic impairment. \nIn children, the prognosis is frequently related to other associated abnormalities. \nSex: ACC is reported to be more common in males than in females. \n\nAge: ACC is a congenital or a developmental anomaly, and therefore, is present at the

How is Ghana's economy?

Economy - overview: \nWell endowed with natural resources, Ghana has roughly twice the per capita output of the poorer countries in West Africa. Even so, Ghana remains heavily dependent on international financial and technical assistance. Gold, timber, and cocoa production are major sources of foreign exchange. The domestic economy continues to revolve around subsistence agriculture, which accounts for 34% of GDP and employs 60% of the work force, mainly small landholders. Ghana opted for debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) program in 2002, but was included in a G8 debt relief program decided upon at the Gleneagles Summit in July 2005. Priorities under its current $38 million PRGF include tighter monetary and fiscal policies, accelerated privatization, and improvement of social services. Receipts from the gold sector helped sustain GDP growth in 2005 along with record high prices for Ghana's largest cocoa crop to date. Inflation should ease, but remain a major internal problem.

What is longer: the Great Wall of China, or the Dog Fence?

I have found several different sources on the internet that give different figures for the length of these two fences. For example, the Great Wall of China is said to be 2400 km or 6400 km or 6700 km or even 7200 km or more. \n\nThe Dog Fence, or Dingo fence in Australia (also known as the Barrier Fence, or the Wild Dog Barrier Fence), extends across the south east corner of Australia, and its length is given by different sources as 4000 km, 5000 km, 3200-5800 miles, 5500 km, and even 8500 km. Some also claim that the Dog Fence is more than twice as long as the Great Wall of China. \n\nI would like to know:\n1. Which is longer?\n2. Why are the so many different distances quoted for the Dog Fence? The Great Wall is partly in ruins, and has a lot of complicated features, so it is clear why there might be some confusion about its length. But the Dog Fence is much more straightforward, and should be very easy to measure.

Can't help you with the distance measures. As you say, they vary. Can help you with the second.\n\nThe dog fence isn’t more straightforward, in fact it's even more complicated than the Great Wall. At least the wall was constructed as a single unit with a single purpose, and by one organising body. \n\n\nThe dog fence was constructed as multiple units. It started initially as dozens if not hundreds of property fences. Individual stations would fence out dogs comingin from their neighbours and from adjoining bush. Even more commonly stations would dog-proof their weaning and lambing paddocks, since it was lambs, lambing ewes and weaners that are most vulnerable to dog attack.\n\nSo before anyone even thought of the dog fence we had hundreds of kilometres of dog-proof fence in that part of the world. The longest section was probably no more than 50km on a side and most sections would only be 3 or 4 kilometres to a side. \n\nOver time neighbours realised it was more efficient to join up their dog fencing on a long front rather than trying to fence off individual staions or paddocks. So we started to get many stretches that were hundreds of kilometres in length. But still no dog fence.\n\nThen someone got the idea to make the fenceline 'official' as it were, and extend it between gaps in the existing fenceline. But the official construction was funded in patches, with funding often being dropped for several years at a time. And the fences decay over time, so by the time the fence had been 'officially' constructed all the way to Hughenden the South Australian end was in tatters.\n\nThe fence has been sporadically repaired ever since it was completed, sometimes by state governments, sometimes by local councils, sometimes by landholder groups but usually by individual landholders. But large sections have never been repaired since they were built and now exist only 5 strand wire fence that will stop a sheep or cow, but not a dog. In the worst sections the fence has been quite buried by sand dunes and only the top few inches of the posts stick out in places. Dogs simply walk over the top.\n\nA major source of confusion is that nobody is entirely sure what the official dog fence is or where it runs, The SA and NSW governments both had their own dog fences, but various regional bodies and local governments also had dog fences. All these different fences join up or once joined up, but they also quite often branched and forked. As a result you will sometimes see maps of the dog fence that end at Hughenden in Northwest Queensland and sometimes it ends 100o km in the opposite direction at Jandowae in SouthEast Queensland. Sometimes the other end terminates at Talatal in SE SA, and sometimes at various different stations in NE SA. As a result you will get wildly different answers depending on what sections you wish to include. \n\nTo add to the confusion there were sections of the fence that, due to apathy, environment and administrative oversite were never finished. They exist on the plans but never existed in reality.\n\nThen just to make it worse at various times people have cut corners off the fence or swung it back on itself. In at least one case an entire section of the fence became an island as two stations ran their own fence between their cornerposts across bushland.\n\nThe final confusion factor is due to scaling problems. Have you looked at a map of the fence? It isn't anything like straight, instead it wanders across the countryside like a drunkards walk, following watercourses, property boundaries and old paddock fences. As a result you get totally different figures depending on what scale you measure at. If you simply draw a line from the southwestern to the northeasternost points it’s only about 1000km. But if you were to run a tape measure from post to post along the entire official fenceline it’s over 7000km. I hope that makes some sort of sense. It’s the same problem we get measuring river

how can I lose weight with such a busy schedule?!?

I had a baby 16 months ago & I loss about 30 lbs but now I'm gaining it all back. I'm trying so hard to lose the weight again but it's not working. I'm feeling week & sick all of the time. I don't have the energy to do much more than what I absolutely have to do already! My face has also broken out big time & I stay really red on my cheeks & nose! Any suggestions?

try taboo\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. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). 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. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

6Business & Finance

I have bad credit and need to buy the home I'm renting. How can I buy it?

The Owners of my home are also in a bad way and putting it on the market and are offering it to me first. I have struggled trying to stay working the last five years (unemployed 20 mos. of last 5 yrs) and it has wreaked havok on my credit. I am working more securely now, but I need to purchase quickly. Other factors - houses are not selling in my neighborhood and remain on the market - one like mine has been for sale over 18 mos., many are vacant and for sale.\n I would really like to finance in spite of my bad credit as the security of ownership would bolster my ability to repair and rebuild my credit. I am a single father with custody of 2 schoolage kids and a first time buyer.

This is a tough one, but here is a suggestion.\n\nFirst I assume the owner has a loan that has a due on sale clause and cannot be assumed. Try these first if possible.\n\nNext thing if you work at it you can do this. It might be a long shot with each person, but you will eventually find someone willing. You need an investor. This isn’t something like finding one in a thousand like it might seem. A lot of people, at least 1 in 10 or 20 invest in real estate. So every community has a lot of investors. You are going to set up a deal that is too good for them to pass up and then show it to 25 people and one of them will go for it. Put an ad in the paper in the investor section something like invest in this lucrative real estate deal and you will have your phone ringing off the hook of people to try it out on.\n\nHere is what you want to happen. They will buy the house from the current owner, and they will lease option the house to you. Since the market is poor in that area you should be able to get a good deal. Keep in mind the reason they offered it to you first is so they can sell it for more than it is worth and avoid a commission on top of that. So any price they offer you will likely be way more than they need. Unless you are dealing with abnormally nice and fair people. \n\nSo lets assume the house is worth 90k to 100k for the illustration here. The range is if you want to sell it quick or let it sit a while on the market. Although the range might be larger the way you describe the area. My guess is the 18 months on the market is one house with a problem that the stubborn owner denies.\n\nFirst you need to be able to negotiate with the current owner. They can sell the house fast with an agent for 90k, of which 82k is what they get, 5400 commission plus 2600 taxes and closing fees. So you can offer 90k-5400 and it will be the same for them. They have to realize this is true so take time to explain it. If they agree that they would sell it for that then you would do best to put an offer in writing and write in the buyer as “your name and/or assigns”. The “and/or assigns” means you can assign the contract to someone else. The investor you will now search for. \n\nYou will need more time than average to close, which might trouble them(might need to raise the price a bit). Or, you may need to add something in the contract like this contract is void if the owner happens to find another buyer willing to pay at least $90k. This way they can still try to sell it while you put the deal together. They will get to keep your earnest money as well if you fail to buy the house, so put as little as they will take, but it does need to be at least $100 or so to be considered a legal contract. You might also add something like more earnest money, to the tune of $100 will be handed over each month to keep the contract good for up to 90 or even 120 days if they will go for it.\n\nNow you will try and find an investor. It has to be a good deal for them and of course you would like it to be a good one for you. Part of your pitch will be that you are trying to split the good fortune and that since you “found” the deal you want some of it. So they are going to buy the house for the contract price you negotiated of 84600. Then simultaneously lease option it to you to buy it for 100000 in three years, or however long you think it will take you to save up enough money and build up your good credit to buy a house. Presumably the house will be worth more than 100000 or you need to lower your price. Be sure this option contract gets recorded along with the other papers.\n\nThe lease part of a lease option works like this. You rent it for say 800 a month now, assuming this is market rent you will start renting it for 900 a month and 300 of that goes towards your down payment (all negotiable of course). So if you end up buying it you only pay 600 a month rent. If not then you paid 900. Good for both sides. You will also agree to handle all rep

9Politics & Government

What should be the role of the Federal Government in terms of "relief" spending? See cited example.?

Outspoken farmer gave David Crockett constitutional lesson\n\nThe 23rd session of Congress began its morning business one day in 1834 with a vote on an appropriation bill to benefit the widow of a career naval officer. Only moments before the legislation's expected unanimous passage, third-term congressman David Crockett arose.\n\nBy the time the man from Tennessee finished speaking, the notion was soundly defeated. However, by offering one week of his own salary and persuading most of his 240 colleagues to follow, the woman actually received more assistance than the bill mandated. To explain this blatant demonstration of political incorrectness, I offer the following parable:\n\nDuring his first term in Washington, Crockett and several other legislators witnessed a great fire in Georgetown from atop the Capitol steps. The heartbreaking images — freezing people huddled around hundreds of small fires, while in the distance raged the larger fire that rendered them homeless — motivated the lawmakers to appropriate $20,000 for their relief. For days, the smug politicians would bask in the glow of their benevolent achievement. Soon, it was time to seek re-election.\n\n''Well, friend,'' the unsuspecting campaigner called to the farmer at his plow, ''I am one of those unfortunate beings called candidates, and . . .''\n\n''Yes, I know you,'' the man interrupted, ''you are Colonel Crockett. I have seen you once before and voted for you the last time you were elected. . . . But you had better not waste your time on me, I shall not vote for you again.''\n\nThe stunned incumbent insisted upon learning how to regain the honest man's trust.\n\n''I do not see how it can be mended,'' the man said. ''You gave a vote last winter which shows that you have not the capacity to understand the Constitution. . . . You are not the man to represent me. I intend by it only to say that your understanding of the Constitution is very different from mine. . . . The Constitution, to be worth anything, must be held sacred and rigidly observed in all its provisions. The man who wields power and misinterprets it is most dangerous the more honest he is.''\n\nCrockett assured the farmer that if he had been the one with the vote, he ''would have done the same.''\n\nTo which the educated man ardently replied, ''The government should have no more funds than it needs. The power of collecting and disbursing money at pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be trusted to man; particularly under our system of collecting revenue, which reaches every man in the country, no matter how poor he may be, and the poorer he is the more he pays in proportion to his means. It is a precedent fraught with danger to the country, for when Congress begins to stretch its powers, there is no limit to it, and no security for the people.''\n\n''Well, my friend,'' Crockett said, ''I have heard many speeches about the powers of Congress, but what you have said here at your plow has got more hard sense in it than all the fine speeches I ever heard . . . and if I ever vote for another unconstitutional law, I wish I may be shot.''\n\nThe excellent constituent Horatio Bunce's message to David Crockett continues to ring true: Any government big enough to give you everything you need is also big enough to take everything you have.

That is a good story.\n\nBut, one reason for Government is to provide goods and services that can be a "collective action problem" or "free rider problem". In a society, there will always be examples of the entire public good being improved by small contributions from every resident, while the entire populace would be greatly disserved by ignoring those contributions.\n\nA good example is the interstate system, (Thanks Eisenhower!) or the National Defense. A small contribution (i.e taxes) from each individual can add up to insure that goods and services can travel around the country, and that we don't get invaded. \n\nIn current terms, we have two choices. A) give relief in the form of monetary aid to Hurricane Katrina victims on the gulf coast, with each citizen making a relatively small sacrifice in the form of taxes or B) choose not to give that aid, and watch tens of thousands of people suffer, through death , illness, bankruptcy, etc.\n\nI think most people believe we have an obligation to provide relief to some, but we all seem to draw a different line in the sand about what constitutes a "small contribution". \nFor example, it's expected that an additional $120 billion will be allocated to the Mideast war(s). That's about 350-400 dollars per American citizen. Is this a small contribution?\n\nEvery person draws their line differently.

In MS Access, is it possible to require a password before printing a report? If possible how is it done?Microsoft Access has two built-in security features for protecting your database: \n• User/Group accounts and permissions \n• Database passwords \n\n---------------------------------------------\nBy using code, you can prompt for a password when a user opens a form or a report. If the correct password is entered, the form or the report is opened.\n\nThe following example shows you how you can password protect the Orders form in the sample database Northwind.mdb: \n1. Start Access and then open the sample database Northwind.mdb. \n\n2. Press ALT+F11 to start the Microsoft Visual Basic editor. \n\n3. On the Insert menu, click Module. \n\n4. In the module sheet, type the following procedure:\n\nPublic MyPassword\nPublic Function KeyCode(Password As String) As Long\n ' This function will produce a unique key for the\n ' string that is passed in as the Password.\n Dim I As Integer\n Dim Hold As Long\n\n For I = 1 To Len(Password)\n Select Case (Asc(Left(Password, 1)) * I) Mod 4\n Case Is = 0\n Hold = Hold + (Asc(Mid(Password, I, 1)) * I)\n Case Is = 1\n Hold = Hold - (Asc(Mid(Password, I, 1)) * I)\n Case Is = 2\n Hold = Hold + (Asc(Mid(Password, I, 1)) * _\n (I - Asc(Mid(Password, I, 1))))\n Case Is = 3\n Hold = Hold - (Asc(Mid(Password, I, 1)) * _\n (I + Len(Password)))\n End Select\n Next I\n KeyCode = Hold\nEnd Function\n\n \n5.

Hit or miss female orgasms?

How can I enhance my ability to achieve an orgasm through intercourse?\n\nI've had a number of sexual partners in my life and with some men it\n\nhappened quite easily and with others I find I have to struggle to get\n\nthat critical stimulation that will lead to an orgasm, usually without\n\nsuccess. I have no problem achieving orgasm in general and find that\n\nmen are happy to satisfy me in other ways. I would never resort to\n\nfaking it because then I'd only have myself to blame for my\n\ndissatisfaction, not to\n\nmention the terrible dishonesty of it. But men tend to measure\n\nthemselves by their ability to make women achieve orgasms through\n\nsexual intercourse and they're a little disappointed when it's not\n\nhappening. I'm healthy, mentally and physically. I'm not under any\n\nparticular stress and I have a good friendship with my current\n\nboyfriend. I believe it's a question of technique but if someone can\n\ngive me some ideas of what I might do I'd be very appreciated

'the answer to achieving orgasms with a partner is this:\n\nIt depends on the sensitivity of your partner towards your erogenous\n\nzones - if you share sexual intimacy with an experienced, inept or\n\ngreedy lover, you are always pretty much left out in the cold.\n\n\n\nOne of the most difficult things, it seems, for women to do during\n\nintimacy is to clue in their partners to what they want. For some\n\nreason, men seem to have no problem asking for particulars during\n\nintimacy but women seem to be shyer about it. The first thing I would\n\nsuggest you do is to be verbal with your lover and communicate to them\n\nwhat you enjoy. The best way to open a conversation about this is to\n\ninquire the same of your lover. Thay way, you open the door to be\n\nable to communicate what pleases you. Tell your lover "Do this" or\n\n"Linger there" or "Slow down!" so that he will know what he is doing\n\nthat makes you feel warm and relaxed. Don't be shy about saying what\n\nis pleasing to you during sexual intimacy (or what is not) - contrary\n\nto popular belief, men can't read minds. Lol\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, many men (especially younger men) seem to operate under\n\nthe assumption that penetration during sexual intercourse is the most\n\nfulfilling thing they can do for a woman when, actually, the act of\n\npenetration is usually the ultimate goal of the male's satisfaction.\n\n\n\nAlso, men may sometimes rush to fulfill their desire for penetration\n\nand not think to be sensuous with a woman. There is an old saying\n\n"Men give foreplay to get sex and women give sex to get foreplay." \n\nThis is certainly not true across the board but, by far, many women\n\nseem to enjoy the sensuous intimacy that precedes sexual intercourse\n\nwhile men seem to be running for the penetration goal line. Lol \n\nPlus, foreplay is what enables a woman to relax and be able to achieve\n\norgasm.\n\n\n\nI don't want you to think anything is "wrong" with you, either,\n\nbecause you don't experience orgasms everytime you have sexual\n\nintercourse. There are other factors to consider regarding this such\n\nas fatigue, emotional stress, etc. If you happen to be in an\n\nout-of-the-bedroom situation such as stress on the job or having had a\n\ntiff with a friend, these experiences can affect your ability to relax\n\nduring sexual intimacy - even the thought "I should have washed those\n\ndishes first…" removes your mind from the intimate situation. \n\nConsider these factors and others as being the reasons you sometimes\n\ndon't experience orgasms.

Did Jesus say "trinity"?

This question is meant particularly for EX-Moslem Christians and Christian- born people too, and I don't mind to hear the opinions of any other faiths because it's the era of "Freedom Of Speech", as I said before, No offense intended, all I want is to unveil the truth. I want evidences from the Bible not personal opinions, please.

NO, NO! \n\nWhat is the origin of the Trinity doctrine?\n\nThe New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.\n\nThe New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”\n\nIn The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching\n\nDoes the Bible agree with those who teach that the Father and the Son are not separate and distinct individuals?\n\nMatt. 26:39, RS: “Going a little farther he [Jesus Christ] fell on his face and prayed, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.’” (If the Father and the Son were not distinct individuals, such a prayer would have been meaningless. Jesus would have been praying to himself, and his will would of necessity have been the Father’s will.)\n\nJohn 8:17, 18, RS: “[Jesus answered the Jewish Pharisees:] In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.” (So, Jesus definitely spoke of himself as being an individual separate and distinct from the Father.)\n\nDoes the Bible teach that all who are said to be part of the Trinity are eternal, none having a beginning?\n\nCol. 1:15, 16, RS: “He [Jesus Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth.” In what sense is Jesus Christ “the first-born of all creation”? \n\n, the expression “the firstborn of” occurs upwards of 30 times in the Bible, and in each instance that it is applied to living creatures the same meaning applies—the firstborn is part of the group. “The firstborn of Israel” is one of the sons of Israel; “the firstborn of Pharaoh” is one of Pharaoh’s family; “the firstborn of beast” are themselves animals.\n\nDoes the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty?\n\nMark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead.

Can someone please tell me about the pyramids at Giza, in Egypt, because I am doing a project on it. Thanks!?

I am doing a project on this, and I am really hoping that someone can tell me anything at all about the pyramids, like the size, the facts and stuff like that. Thanks!!! :D

Pyramids of Giza are constructed during the 4th dynasty, which is one of the dynasties of the Old Kingdom...\n\nThere is three kingdoms, old, middle and new kingdoms...\n\nA dynasty is a rule of family - Kings from a certain family in a certain location (normally either Upper Egypt or Lower Egypt) rule the country...once the king dies, the eldest son takes over the throne...\n\nPyramids were built for religious purposes and not just to have a tomb - evidence is that during the New Kindom kings were burried in tombs in the Valley of the Kings...\n\nThe first pyramid construction was attempted by Snefru, the first king of the 4th dynasty and father of Cheops, the builder of the the Great Pyramid...he build 2 pyramids in Sakkara known as the Red Pyramid, and the Bend Pyramid...\n\nConcerning the construction of the pyramid, the largest of them all is that of King Cheops...it was constructed over a duration of 20 years, but physically, it only took them 5 years to contruct, as the Egyptians who worked on its construction were farmers, and worked on its construction during innundation season (which was three months every year)...\n\nThe pyramid of Cheops is divided into three chambers, the lower 1 is unfinished for a religious aspect not because they didn't have the time...\n\nThe upper chamber is the one that had the sarcophagos of the king (place where his corps/mummy was placed)...\n\nThe second pyramid belonged to Kephren, his son, who ruled after the death of his brother, "Djedefre", who ruled for only 2 years...\n\nThe third pyramid belonged Kephrens son, Menkawre, and is the smallest of them all...\n\nThe Sphinx belonged to Kephren...with the face of a human, ("Kephren"), and the body of a lion, resembling wisdom and power...\n\nDuring that period, the stones for the pyramid construction was brought from the south of Egypt through the nile (as there was seven branches for it, where 1 of them went near to the pyramids - currently only 2 still exist)...\n\nWhen they planned to construct hte pyramid of Kephren, they left the block of stone used for the Sphinx over as its quality wasn't that good, and decided to convert it to a statue...\n\nThis statue was then worshipped as a GOD in the New Kingdom...\n\n\nPyramid Statistics:\n===================\nPyramid of Cheops:\n------------------\nWorkers: 100,000 Egyptian\nDuration: 3 months every year for 20 years\nHeight: 280 Egyptian Old Royal Cubits tall (146.5 metres or 481 feet)\nCurrent Height: 455.21 ft, approximately 138.75 m\nBase: 231 m per side\nCurrent Base: approximately 230.36 meters\nArea: 53,000 square metres\nAngle of Construction: 51.7°\nMissing Height: The reduction in size and area of the structure into its current rough-hewn appearance is due to the absence of its original polished casing stones, some of which measured up to two and a half meters thick and weighed upwards of 15 tonnes.\nConstruction blocks: 2.4 million blocks\nMaterial: Limestone, Basalt, Granite\nLocation of Material: \n- Limestone: Tura - 8 miles away - used for the outercasing of the pyramid - weighted approximately 15 tonnes each\n- Granite: Aswan - 500 miles away - used for the portcullis doors and relieving chambers - weighted 60-80 tonnes each\n\nPyramid of Khafre:\n------------------\nKhafre's Pyramid had an original height of 143.87 m (275 royal cubits or 471 ft). It now stands at 136 m (446 ft) tall with a base of 215.29 m (410 royal cubits or 704 ft), covering a total area of about 11 acres (45,000 m²).\n\nIts angle of incline measures 53°10′, which is steeper than the Great Pyramid. This, and its slightly more elevated location often make Khafre's Pyramid appear larger than the Great Pyramid. It is, in fact, smaller in both height and volume.\n\nThe pyramid was constructed from limestone and granite blocks weighing an average of 2.5 tons each. Unlike the Great Pyramid and Menkaure's Pyramid, Khafre's Pyramid retains some of its smooth lime

I have a question for practicing Jewish people. Are Jewish people still waiting for a Messiah?

Or have they given up hope that a messiah will ever come? Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the Messiah, yet Jewish people reject him. If Jewish people do believe that a messiah will come, how will they recognize him? I am a Christian who has always been curious about this; I honestly mean no disrespect to your faith. Are there any Jewish people who can shed some light? Thank you, I appreciate it.

first off all American their is a list that one must do to be called the messiah. and yes Jews are still waiting for the first person to complete that check list. \n\nhere it is -- it is detialed and long so bear with\n\nTHE MESSIAH ACCORDING TO JUDAISM\nOne of the basic premises upon which Christianity rests is that Jesus was the Messiah predicted in the Jewish Bible. Judaism has always rejected this belief. Since the goal of "Hebrew Christian" missionaries is to convince Jews that Jesus did in fact fulfill the requirements of the promised Messiah, it is necessary to examine the Jewish understanding of the Messiah to understand why such claims are simply not true.\n\nTHE HEBREW ROOTS OF THE WORD "MESSIAH"\n\nThe Hebrew word for "Messiah" is "Moshiach --." The literal and proper translation of this word is "anointed," which refers to a ritual of anointing and consecrating someone or some-thing with oil. (I Samuel 10:1-2) It is used throughout the Jewish Bible in reference to a wide variety of individuals and objects; for example, a Jewish king (I Kings 1:39), Jewish priests (Leviticus 4:3), prophets (Isaiah 61:1), the Jewish Temple and its utensils (Exodus 40:9-11), unleavened bread (Numbers 6:15), and a non-Jewish king (Cyrus king of Persia, Isaiah 45:1).\n\nTHE CRITERIA TO BE FULFILLED BY THE JEWISH MESSIAH\n\nIn an accurate translation of the Jewish Scriptures, the word "Moshiach" is never translated as "Messiah," but as "anointed."1Nevertheless, Judaism has always maintained a fundamental belief in a Messianic figure. Since the concept of a Messiah is one that was given by G-d to the Jews, Jewish tradition is best qualified to describe and recognize the expected Messiah. This tradition has its foundation in numerous biblical references, many of which are cited below. Judaism understands the Messiah to be a human being (with no connotation of deity or divinity) who will bring about certain changes in the world and who must fulfill certain specific criteria before being acknowledged as the Messiah.\n\nThese specific criteria are as follows:\n\n1) He must be Jewish. (Deuteronomy 17:15, Numbers 24:17)\n\n2) He must be a member of the tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:10) and a direct male descendent of both King David (I Chronicles 17:11, Psalm 89:29-38, Jeremiah 33:17, II Samuel 7:12-16) and King Solomon. (I Chronicles 22:10, II Chronicles 7:18)\n\n3) He must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel. (Isaiah 27:12-13, Isaiah 11:12)\n\n4) He must rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. (Micah 4:1)\n\n5) He must bring world peace. (Isaiah 2:4, Isaiah 11:6, Micah 4:3)\n\n6) He must influence the entire world to acknowledge and serve one G-d. (Isaiah 11:9, Isaiah 40:5, Zephaniah 3:9)\n\nAll of these criteria for the Messiah are best stated in the book of Ezekiel chapter 37:24-28: \n\n"And My servant David will be a king over them, and they will all have one shepherd, and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them, and they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant...and I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant and I will set my sanctuary in their midst forever and My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their G-d and they will be My people. And the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever." \n\nIf an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, he cannot be the Messiah.\n\nWHY JESUS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE JEWISH MESSIAH\n\nA careful analysis of these criteria shows us that, although Jesus was Jewish, he did not fulfill any of the other criteria. An examination of the contradictory accounts of Jesus' genealogy demonstrates a number of difficulties with the fulfillment of the second criterion. Specifically, the New Testament claims that Jesus did not have a phy

I have a question for practicing Jewish people. Are Jewish people still waiting for a Messiah?Or have they given up hope that a messiah will ever come? Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the Messiah, yet Jewish people reject him. If Jewish people do believe that a messiah will come, how will they recognize him? I am a Christian who has always been curious about this; I honestly mean no disrespect to your faith. Are there any Jewish people who can shed some light? Thank you, I appreciate it.first off all American their is a list that one must do to be called the messiah. and yes Jews are still waiting for the first person to complete that check list. \n\nhere it is -- it is detialed and long so bear with\n\nTHE MESSIAH ACCORDING TO JUDAISM\nOne of the basic premises upon which Christianity rests is that Jesus was the Messiah predicted in the Jewish Bible. Judaism has always rejected this belief. Since the goal of "Hebrew Christian" missionaries is to convince Jews that Jesus did in fact fulfill the requirements of the promised Messiah, it is necessary to examine the Jewish understanding of the Messiah to understand why such claims are simply not true.\n\nTHE HEBREW ROOTS OF THE WORD "MESSIAH"\n\nThe Hebrew word for "Messiah" is "Moshiach --." The literal and proper translation of this word is "anointed," which refers to a ritual of anointing and consecrating someone or some-thing with oil. (I Samuel 10:1-2) It is used throughout the Jewish Bible in reference to a wide variety of individuals and objects; for example, a Jewish king (I Kings 1:39), Jewish priests (Leviticus 4:3), prophets (Isaiah 61:1), the Jewish Temple and its utensils (Exodus 40:9-11), unleavened bread (Numbers 6:15), and a non-Jewish king (Cyrus king of Persia, Isaiah 45:1).\n\nTHE CRITERIA TO BE FULFILLED BY THE JEWISH MESSIAH\n\nIn an accurate translation of the Jewish Scriptures, the word "Moshiach" is never translated as "Messiah," but as "anointed."1Nevertheless, Judaism has always maintained a fundamental belief in a Messianic figure. Since the concept of a Messiah is one that was given by G-d to the Jews, Jewish tradition is best qualified to describe and recognize the expected Messiah. This tradition has its foundation in numerous biblical references, many of which are cited below. Judaism understands the Messiah to be a human being (with no connotation of deity or divinity) who will bring about certain changes in the world and who must fulfill certain specific criteria before being acknowledged as the Messiah.\n\nThese specific criteria are as follows:\n\n1) He must be Jewish. (Deuteronomy 17:15, Numbers 24:17)\n\n2) He must be a member of the tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:10) and a direct male descendent of both King David (I Chronicles 17:11, Psalm 89:29-38, Jeremiah 33:17, II Samuel 7:12-16) and King Solomon. (I Chronicles 22:10, II Chronicles 7:18)\n\n3) He must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel. (Isaiah 27:12-13, Isaiah 11:12)\n\n4) He must rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. (Micah 4:1)\n\n5) He must bring world peace. (Isaiah 2:4, Isaiah 11:6, Micah 4:3)\n\n6) He must influence the entire world to acknowledge and serve one G-d. (Isaiah 11:9, Isaiah 40:5, Zephaniah 3:9)\n\nAll of these criteria for the Messiah are best stated in the book of Ezekiel chapter 37:24-28: \n\n"And My servant David will be a king over them, and they will all have one shepherd, and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them, and they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant...and I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant and I will set my sanctuary in their midst forever and My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their G-d and they will be My people.

Why does the Bush Administration continues to deal with nations that support slavery?

Though most Americans believe slavery was abolished with the Emancipation Proclamation more than a century ago, the horrors of human beings held in bondage flourishes today.\n\nChild "carpet slaves" in India\n\n\nKidnapped from their villages when they are as young as five years old, between 200,000 and 300,000 children are held captive in locked rooms and forced to weave on looms for food. In India—as well in other countries—the issue of slavery is exacerbated by a rigid caste system. \n\n\nThere are an estimated 200 million people in bondage today. \nThe International Labor Rights and Education Fund is one organization that has rescued many of these child slaves. The group recalls this scene: "Children work in damp pits near the loom. Potable water is often unavailable and food consists of a few chapatis [bread balls], onions and salt...The children often are made to sleep on the ground next to their looms, or in nearby sheds.

Hey, yeah. Makes you wonder. So does Kuwait in the way they use their au pair and maid contracts. So do many other countries. Some would even argue that "wage slavery" is prevalent worldwide, but defacto slavery - where one has no rights except those provided by the owner or "boss" - is a real shocker to some people, supposedly even the US government!\nhttp://usinfo.state.gov/gi/Archive/2005/Jun/23-943502.html\n\nThere is also unsanctioned, but accepted slavery, for example, in Turkey (PBS special on Russian sex slaves) and other countries worldwide.\n\nSlavery also still exists in the US. Are you surprised? Ever smoke pot or drive fast or drink under age? Guess what? People do incredibly vile illegal things too! What sets this apart from mainstream culture, however, is the expense of importing, hiding, and eliminating the slaves. Let's think about who in America can afford such things... hmmm... Who could it be? Well, maybe this is what we get for our trickle down theories? Maybe what's trickling down isn't something we'd like to get on our clothes.\n\nSo now we come to the Bush Administration... wealthy, connected, more than enough money to lie and get away with it... Who are your friends in the billionaire club? Ok, sure, there are some wonderful people there, but not everyone is so fantastic, are they? No. There are some real scum that many of us would take pleasure in lynching, no matter how nice of a person we like to think of ourselves.\n\nWe lie to ourselves that we are an open and free society while the rich are given tax breaks and the poor are told to do more with less.\n\nI'm not sure who the Jesus is that the Republicans supposedly worship. Apparently it isn't the guy I read about in the Bible because I just can't imagine him wanting to create this sort of world. So far as I can tell, the Bush Jesus tells us that all is forgiven as long as you vote against abortion and gay marriage. I never thought Jesus was so myopic, but apparently I was wrong.\n\nThen again, look at the trades christians would have to make for joining the Democrats... There should be a seperate Christian party that allows christians to side-step the demonic choice of "a lesser of two evils."\n\nOff of the soapbox: What do you expect us to do? Shall we invade India? How about Pakistan? Why stop there? We could invade Russia for allowing their children to be abducted into slavery! Yea, America! We can save the world through domination! Sound familiar?\n\nIf we quit trading, we place power into the hands of others.\n\nThe real question is, what is the solution? How do we make it stop?\n\nWell, if you have humane answers to those questions and successfully implement them, you'll be world-famous and rich from people constantly wanting to have you speak at their houses of govenment, universities, stadiums - everywhere.\n\nI don't have the answer yet, but let's keep asking!\n\n(Ahem! Nuclear bombs are irrelvant! We own how many? Doesn't that legitimize nuclear bombs as a form of national defense? The current "war of rhetoric" with Iran is doctrinal and cultural. We wouldn't complain if Sweden started making nukes. In saying Iran has no right to nukes, we have practically already declared war because we say they have no right to a common form of national self-defense!)

If God created the universe and is almighty can he create something he can't lift?

I have answered this so many times, but here it is again:\n(see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=ArR35uKnmpaQCk8qLFdTLIMjzKIX?qid=1006020603657 )\n\nGod and Omnipotence\nThe paradox of the stone, as presented by Wade Savage:\n1. Either God can create a stone that God cannot lift, or God cannot create a stone that God cannot lift – there are no other possibilities. \n2. If God can create a stone that God cannot lift, then there is at least one thing that God cannot do (i.e., lift that stone). \n3. If God cannot create a stone that God cannot lift, then there is at least one thing that God cannot do (i.e., create that stone). \n4. From the combination of 1, 2 and 3, it follows that there is at least one thing that God cannot do. \n5. If God is omnipotent, then God can do anything. \n6. Therefore, God is not omnipotent. \n\nWhat this argument apparently shows is that omnipotence is impossible (or, that the notion of omnipotence is incoherent). Thus, God cannot be omnipotent (as nothing can be).\n\nSuggested solutions to the paradox St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274):\nAquinas defines as “absolutely impossible” any thing where the “predicate is altogether incompatible with the subject” (his example: “man is an ***” (in the non-metaphorical sense)). With this in mind:\nWhatever implies contradiction does not come within the scope of divine omnipotence, because it cannot have the aspect of possibility. Hence it is more appropriate to say that such things cannot be done, than that God cannot do them.\n\nThat is, to be omnipotent involves being able to do all things that are possible. For example, it is not considered a limit to my powers that I cannot draw a square circle. That’s impossible, so it’s no failing that I can’t do it – it cannot be done.\n\nBUT: surely I can make a thing that is too heavy for me to lift, so that task is not impossible, so if God can’t do it, that really is a limit to his power.\n\nGeorge Mavrodes (1926-):\nMavrodes responds that although “a stone too heavy for Simon Cushing to lift” is not a contradictory notion, “a stone too heavy for an omnipotent being to lift” is a contradictory notion.\nMavrodes’s argument in full:\n1. Either God is omnipotent or he is not. \n2. If God is not omnipotent, then the fact that he cannot do something (either make or lift the stone) is unsurprising. \n3. If God is omnipotent, then, by definition, there necessarily cannot be a stone that is too heavy for him to lift (otherwise he would not be omnipotent). \n4. If there necessarily cannot be such a stone, then it is an impossibility. \n5. By Aquinas’s reasoning, even an omnipotent being cannot perform impossibilities. \n6. Therefore, by definition, inability to create a stone too heavy for one to lift is no barrier to being omnipotent. (In fact, only non-omnipotent beings can create objects too heavy for themselves to lift.) \n\nBUT: both Aquinas and Mavrodes assume that God cannot do impossible things. Is this right? Descartes, for one, thought not. Descartes believed God could make 2+2=5. Why? Because otherwise you are suggesting that God is bound by the laws of logic. But if God created the laws of logic, why should he be bound by them? Couldn’t he have made them differently?\n\nHarry Frankfurt:\nHowever, if we assume that God can do impossible things, then God can create a stone too heavy for him to lift (which is supposedly impossible). Furthermore, if he can do that, then he can go one stage further and lift that stone (also impossible – but what’s the difference between doing one impossible thing and doing two?) \nBUT: doesn’t that mean that the stone he created was not a stone too heavy for him to lift, and that we’re back to the situation of him being unable to create such a stone? Not according to Frankfurt:\nIf an omnipotent being can do what is logically impossible, then he can not only create situations which he cannot handle but also, since he is not bound by the

This one's a real hot potato. And it's not something you hear \nso much from ancient religious institutions... rather, it's simply \nthe 'politically correct' way to talk about spirituality these days.\n\n It tends to be expressed something like this: 'You've got your\ntruth, and I've got my truth. You find a faith that works for\nyou, and I'll find a faith that works for me.'\n\n Well here's my question:\n\n How many conflicting versions of the truth can actually be true?\n\n I'm not going to use this space to promote an agenda today -- or \nto push any specific claim of Ultimate Truth. I'm just going to\nhighlight a very simple, logical reality that each of us, in our search\nfor Truth, must recognize. Pardon me if I offend you, but I'm \ngoing to put it bluntly.\n\n It's impossible for all religions to be true.\n\n In other words, if Islam is essentially true, then Buddhism,\nHinduism and Christianity are not. If Buddhism is essentially true, \nthen Islam, Christianity and Hinduism are not. And so on.\n\n How can I say such a thing? Because if you *really* study these \nreligions, it will become clear that each makes bold, fundamental \nassertions about reality that are not compatible with the others. \n\n For example, Hinduism states that divinity is present in everything.\nChristianity, Judaism and Islam all assert that God is distinctly \nseparate from what he has created. The implications of these different \nviews run very deep, and they are fundamentally incompatible. It's \nlogically impossible for both views to be true.\n\n So why bring this up, anyway?\n\n Well first I have to make a confession. I would *like* to believe \nthat all religions could be true. I would personally *like* to believe \nthat all paths lead to God. It feels good. It's a kinder view of \nthe world. It puts everyone on equal footing. \n\n But it just doesn't make sense. \n\n Truth is, by nature, exclusive. There are always more wrong\nways to do just about anything than right ways. There are always \nmore wrong answers to any given question than right ones. \n\n True?\n\n And you know what? This really raises the stakes. It puts a \nreal sense of urgency in our search for truth, because it shows \nthat if we're not careful, we can fall for a half-truth.\n\n On the other hand, if you diligently search, seek\nout the facts, and your spiritual journey brings you to\na place where the pieces fit in place - if everything makes\nlogical sense and it feels right in your heart - then you \nshould not hesitate to share your joy with others.\n\n OK... now let's stop right now and make something very clear: \n\n If we possess the truth, it doesn't give us the right to \nbe unkind to those who disagree. It didn't give Bin Laden the \nright to declare Jihad, hijack airplanes and fly them into the \nWorld Trade Center. It didn't give so-called 'Christians' the \nright to kill people in the Crusades. It doesn't give us the \nright to be disrespectful or violent.\n\n What it does give us is the right - and the confidence -\nto go out into the marketplace of ideas and *see* if our Truth\nstands up to hard scrutiny.\n\n C.S. Lewis was talking about this very thing when he said, \n'You don't need to defend a Lion. You just need to let him \nout of his cage.'\n\n If you really do have the truth, then you have nothing to fear. \nYou don't need to burn books or censor speech. Truth is its \nown best defense.\n\n In our modern, sophisticated culture, spirituality gets\nlocked up in a cage. It's a taboo subject.

Do you beleive Witches(Wiccans) worships the devil?

I beleive the Devil(horns, Fork tail etc) that is depicted by todays Christians was a pagan god long before Christianity was developed. No the Wiccans do not worship the Devil. They don't beleive in the Christians Devil. How can you worship something from another religion? Unfortunely movies or shows like Charmed gives the wrong impression. \nWhat do you think?

Well something about these quotes really disturbs me...\n\n"Over one million people worship the devil as a religion." Really? Prove it. I want to see where you got your IMPARTIAL information.\n\n"Anyone who does not believe in God is a sinner and rebuked God when they heard the good news." So this is what you are saying. Before you tell these people about your god they are safe because your god is not known to them. If, however; you tell them about your god and they refuse to believe your "good news of the lord" they are condemned to hell. Why tell them in the first d@amned place then if you know they are going to go to hell for refusing your god!?\n\n"Lives we can never change"....yeah? tell that the people you just condemned to hell for refusing to believe in your god.\n\n..."and we have an understanding of what is good and bad in our conscience." Well let me see, you just told a bunch of people who were enjoying their lives without your god and who were safe from the wrath of your god until you told them about your god by condemning them to hell for refusing to believe in your god. How is telling people who don't know your god a good thing again please?\n\n"we all have a sense of survivl instinct." It's spelled S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L, you idiot. \n\n"Yes things in our culture have been disintergrated because of simple minded people not knowing the facts before they say or do things before the think"...welcome to the Disintegration Club, genius.\n\n==============\n\n...and then there's this one...\n\n==============\n\n“HELLO! "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live...."\n\n"I'M NOT SAYING KILL ALL THE WITCHES.....what I AM saying is God does not approve of witchcraft...” { Rather than me going off here I think I will just dust off something that Fiona Broome wrote and place it here regarding that little statement}: \n\nThou shalt not suffer a witch to live...? \nedited by Fiona Broome\n\nPeople often ask about the famous line in the Bible, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (Exodus 22:18) \n\nIt's important to do your own research. However, here's what I've found so far: \n\nJames I was notorious for being paranoid about witches, spells, and so on. This was, in part, due to volatile politics of the time. He had good reason to be nervous. \n\n"His" Bible (the King James Bible) was translated to keep Jamie-boy happy, so they translated the word chasaph--which is Hebrew for poisoner (or, in other contexts, herbalist)-- to mean "witch" instead. \n\nThe real Biblical passage was about the disturbing crime of poisoning in the Jewish community. When that line was originally written, there may have been recent poisonings. Some historians point to this. \n\nHere's an early document, written around 1580 at the time of King James I, protesting the translation of chasaph as "witch." \n\n(And when goode King James discovered what Reginald Scot had said in this book, James first wrote his own book, Daemonologie, a rebuttal to Scot's. Then James ordered his men to find every copy of Scot's book and burn them. It \nwas too late. The Scot book was already in its third printing, widely distributed, and nine more chapters had been added.)\n\n \nFrom The Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot. \n \nBOOKE VI \n \nChapter I - The exposition of this Hebrue word Chasaph, wherein is answered the objection conteined in Exodus 22. to wit: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, and of Simon Magus.

The Hebrue sentence written in Exodus, 22. is by the 70. interpretors translated thus \n into Greeke, [note: I'll fill this in when I have a Greek font and more time], which in Latine is, \n \n\n Veneficos (sive) veneficas non

Well let me see, you just told a bunch of people who were enjoying their lives without your god and who were safe from the wrath of your god until you told them about your god by condemning them to hell for refusing to believe in your god. How is telling people who don't know your god a good thing again please?\n\n"we all have a sense of survivl instinct." It's spelled S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L, you idiot. \n\n"Yes things in our culture have been disintergrated because of simple minded people not knowing the facts before they say or do things before the think"...welcome to the Disintegration Club, genius.\n\n==============\n\n...and then there's this one...\n\n==============\n\n“HELLO! "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live...."\n\n"I'M NOT SAYING KILL ALL THE WITCHES.....what I AM saying is God does not approve of witchcraft...” { Rather than me going off here I think I will just dust off something that Fiona Broome wrote and place it here regarding that little statement}: \n\nThou shalt not suffer a witch to live...? \nedited by Fiona Broome\n\nPeople often ask about the famous line in the Bible, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (Exodus 22:18) \n\nIt's important to do your own research. However, here's what I've found so far: \n\nJames I was notorious for being paranoid about witches, spells, and so on. This was, in part, due to volatile politics of the time. He had good reason to be nervous. \n\n"His" Bible (the King James Bible) was translated to keep Jamie-boy happy, so they translated the word chasaph--which is Hebrew for poisoner (or, in other contexts, herbalist)-- to mean "witch" instead. \n\nThe real Biblical passage was about the disturbing crime of poisoning in the Jewish community. When that line was originally written, there may have been recent poisonings. Some historians point to this. \n\nHere's an early document, written around 1580 at the time of King James I, protesting the translation of chasaph as "witch." \n\n(And when goode King James discovered what Reginald Scot had said in this book, James first wrote his own book, Daemonologie, a rebuttal to Scot's. Then James ordered his men to find every copy of Scot's book and burn them. It \nwas too late. The Scot book was already in its third printing, widely distributed, and nine more chapters had been added.)\n\n \nFrom The Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot. \n \nBOOKE VI \n \nChapter I - The exposition of this Hebrue word Chasaph, wherein is answered the objection conteined in Exodus 22. to wit: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, and of Simon Magus. Acts. 8. \n \n(page 64) Chaspah, being a Hebrue word, is Latined Veneficium, and is in English, poisoning, or witchcraft; if you will so have it. The Hebrue sentence written in Exodus, 22. is by the 70. interpretors translated thus \n into Greeke, [note: I'll fill this in when I have a Greek font and more time], which in Latine is, \n \n\n Veneficos (sive) veneficas non

Does anyone know the address/location of obscure magazine store in NY?

There's supposed to be a bookstand/magazine stand in Manhattan, NY (theater district) that sells all the magazines ever published in the US and more. Does anyone know where it is/ address/ name? I'd like to visit it. I heard it's supposedly down by 56th/59th, but I'm not sure.

9Politics & Government

Did you know your American Democracy is only temporary?

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

If you would like information on General Chong, go to Google and type in his name (Major General Vernon Chong). All of the following is something that everyone should read.\n\nThis WAR is for REAL!\n\nTo get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII).\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\nFirst, let's examine a few basics:\n\n1. When did the threat to us start?\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* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;\n* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;\n* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;\n* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;\n* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;\n* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;\n* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;\n* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;\n* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;\n* New York World Trade Center 2001;\n* Pentagon 2001.\n\n(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581\nterrorist attacks worldwide).\n\n2. Why were we attacked?\n\nEnvy of our position, our success, and our freedoms. The attacks\nhappened during the administrations of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2. We cannot fault either the Republicans, or Democrats as there were no provocations by any of the Presidents or their immediate predecessors, Presidents Ford or Carter.\n\n3. Who were the attackers?\n\nIn each case, the attacks on the US were carried out by Muslims.\n\n4. What is the Muslim population of the World? 25%.\n\n5. Isn't the Muslim Religion peaceful?\n\nHopefully, but that is really not material. There is no doubt that the predominately Christian population of Germany was peaceful, but under the dictatorial leadership of Hitler (who was also Christian), that made no difference. You either went along with the administration or you were eliminated. There were 5 to 6 million Christians killed by the Nazis for political reasons (including 7,000 Polish priests). (see http://www.nazis.testimony.co.uk/7-a.htm )\n\nThus, almost the same number of Christians were killed by the Nazis, as the six million holocaust Jews who were killed by them, and we seldom heard of anything other than the Jewish atrocities. Although Hitler kept the world focused on the Jews, he had no hesitancy about killing anyone who got in his way of exterminating the Jews, or of taking over the world - German, Christian, or any others.\n\nSame with the Muslim terrorists. They focus the world on the US, but kill all in the way -- their own people, or the Spanish, French or anyone else. \n\nThe point here is that just like the peaceful Germans were of no protection to anyone from the Nazis, no matter how many peaceful Muslims there may be, they are no protection for us from the terrorist Muslim leaders and what they are fanatically bent on doing -- by their own pronouncements -- killing all of us "infidels." I don't blame the peaceful Muslims. What would you do if the choice was shut up or die?\n\n6. So who are we at war with?\n\nThere is no way we can honestly respond that it is anyone other than the Muslim terrorists. Trying to be politically correct and avoid verbalizing this conclusion can well be fatal. There is no way to win if you don't clearly recognize and articulate who you are fighting.\n\nSo with that background, now to the two major questions:\n\n1. Can we lose this war?\n\n2. What does losing really mean?\n\nIf we are to win, we must clearly answer these two pivotal questions.\n\nWe can definitely lose this war, and as anomalous as it may sound, the major reason we can lose is that so

Did you know your American Democracy is only temporary?"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."If you would like information on General Chong, go to Google and type in his name (Major General Vernon Chong). All of the following is something that everyone should read.\n\nThis WAR is for REAL!\n\nTo get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII).\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\nFirst, let's examine a few basics:\n\n1. When did the threat to us start?\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* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;\n* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;\n* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;\n* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;\n* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;\n* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;\n* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;\n* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;\n* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;\n* New York World Trade Center 2001;\n* Pentagon 2001.\n\n(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581\nterrorist attacks worldwide).\n\n2. Why were we attacked?\n\nEnvy of our position, our success, and our freedoms. The attacks\nhappened during the administrations of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2. We cannot fault either the Republicans, or Democrats as there were no provocations by any of the Presidents or their immediate predecessors, Presidents Ford or Carter.\n\n3. Who were the attackers?\n\nIn each case, the attacks on the US were carried out by Muslims.\n\n4. What is the Muslim population of the World? 25%.\n\n5. Isn't the Muslim Religion peaceful?\n\nHopefully, but that is really not material. There is no doubt that the predominately Christian population of Germany was peaceful, but under the dictatorial leadership of Hitler (who was also Christian), that made no difference. You either went along with the administration or you were eliminated. There were 5 to 6 million Christians killed by the Nazis for political reasons (including 7,000 Polish priests). (see http://www.nazis.testimony.co.uk/7-a.htm )\n\nThus, almost the same number of Christians were killed by the Nazis, as the six million holocaust Jews who were killed by them, and we seldom heard of anything other than the Jewish atrocities. Although Hitler kept the world focused on the Jews, he had no hesitancy about killing anyone who got in his way of exterminating the Jews, or of taking over the world - German, Christian, or any others.\n\nSame with the Muslim terrorists. They focus the world on the US, but kill all in the way -- their own people, or the Spanish, French or anyone else. \n\nThe point here is that just like the peaceful Germans were of no protection to anyone from the Nazis, no matter how many peaceful Muslims there may be, they are no protection for us from the terrorist Muslim leaders and what they are fanatically bent on doing -- by their own pronouncements -- killing all of us "infidels." I don't blame the peaceful Muslims. What would you do if the choice was shut up or die?\n\n6. So who are we at war with?\n\nThere is no way we can honestly respond that it is anyone other than the Muslim terrorists. Trying to be politically correct and avoid verbalizing this conclusion can well be fatal. There is no way to win if you don't clearly recognize and articulate who you are fighting.\n\nSo with that background, now to the two major questions:\n\n1. Can we lose this war?\n\n2. What does losing really mean?\n\nIf we are to win, we must clearly answer these two pivotal questions.\n\nWe can definitely lose this war, and as anomalous as it may sound, the major reason we can lose is that so

Faults in Hollywood movie " Alexander"?

In this movie iranien people are shown with dark complexation .African american actress is shown iranian actress......Why U.S is showing hatred agiinst iranians in their films...iranian people are white people and both greeks and iranians were kins belonging to aryan family\n Also alexander has scandinavien features in film...Infact he had aryan featues i.e black hairs etc

uh oh ... i wish no one would've got me started on that!! See the following excerpts from a brilliant article written by one bright Dr. Kaveh Farrokh, courtesy of whom I am cutting and pasting the following from the ghandchi.com website. I would suggest anyone who's seen the movie to read the fuul article at http://www.ghandchi.com/iranscope/Anthology/KavehFarrokh/farrokh6.htm : \n\n\n"Despite excellent reviews of his book by critics and scholars, Dr. Fox does not understand the military of ancient Persia. A typographical shot of the battle of Gaugamela, shows the Greeks advancing in ordered and disciplined ranks. In contrast, the armies of Darius III are shown as little better than an amorphous mob. This is a false image of the Achaemenid army. The Achaemenids used drums and musical instruments to direct the marching tactics of their troops in battle. Second, the Achaemeneans used the decimal system, which was in fact, unknown to the Greeks of the period. Persian units were formed in legions of 10, 100 or 1000 or 10,000. A typical term was "Hezar-Patesh" (roughly equivalent to "leader of a thousand men"). \nIn addition, the Persians had developed a sophisticated system of heraldry and their troops wore standard uniforms. The Greeks were certainly excellent fighters and were thoroughly organized, but this does not mean that the Persians were not. At the time, the Greeks were militarily superior with respect to armaments, tactics and military training. \nThis military imbalance changed with the coming of the Parthian and Sassanian cavalry. The Iranian Savaran (elite Cavalry) successfully halted and defeated many of the later Greek-Hoplite inspired Roman armies. Many Romans attempted to imitate Alexander and failed against Persia. These include Marcus Lucinius Crassus at Carrhae, Marc Antony at Tabriz (where he failed twice), Gordian III at Mesiche, Phillip the Arab near modern Syria, Valerian at Barbablissos, and Julian the Apostate in Mesopotamia. I personally doubt that Hollywood will recreate these spectacular Roman defeats as these will challenge contemporary western notions of the Alexandrian legacy. In addition, many Iranians today are unaware of the proud legacy of the Parthian and Sassanian Savaran."\n...\n"The portrayal of ancient Iranians is outright comical, if not insulting. The inaccurate Hollywood portrayal of Iranians is exemplified by the selection of Rosario Dawson ( http://www.lostfocus.de/archives/rosario_dawson.jpg ), a very talented, beautiful and intelligent black actress, to star as Roxanna, an ancient Iranian queen from Soghdia-Bactria. Roxanna was not black, anymore than Alexander was Scandinavian. Having Rosario Dawson portrayed as Roxanna makes as much sense as having Lucy Liu, an Asian-American, portraying Queen Victoria of Great Britain. \nThe term Roxanna is derived from Old Iranian "Rokh-shwan" or "face (Ruksh) - fair skinned-shiny (shwan)". Roxanna was related to a North Iranian tribe known later as the Sarmatians, the remnants who survive in the Caucasus and Russia as the Ossetians (ancient Alans or Ard-Alans) \nRoman sources such as Pliny repeatedly describe ancient North Iranian peoples such as the Alans and Seres as "…flaxen (blonde) haired blue eyed nomads…" (see Wilcox, p.19). Rosario Dawson does not fit the description of an ancient Iranian woman, especially from Northern Iranian stock. The Ossetians of today, descendants of ancient Northern Iranians, predominantly resemble northern Iranians and Europeans and speak an archaic Iranian language (like the Avesta of the Zoroastrians). Blondism is very common among these descendants of ancient North Iranians in cities such as Beslan and Vladikafkaz. It can be argued that Roxanna was a brunette, however, she was of Northern Iranian stock, which would still make her very different from actress Rosario Dawson. \nThere are plenty of talented actresses of Iranian descent i

why americans are killing moslims arround the world on the the name of terrorism?

Allah has said in QURAN :"FOR THAT CAUSE WE DECREED FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THAT WHOSOEVER KILLETH A HUMAN BEING FOR OTHER THEN MAN SLAUGHTER OR CORRUPTION IN THE EARTH ,IT SHALL BE AS IF BE HAD KILLED ALL MAN KIND AND WHOSO SAVETH THE LIFE OF ONE, IT SHALL BE AS IF HE HAD SAVED A LIFE OF ALL MANKIND OUR MESSENGERS CAME UNTO THEM OF OLD WITH CLEAR PROOFS(OF ALLAH'S SOVEREIGNTY),BUT AFTERWARDS LO!MANY OF THEM BECAME PRODIGALS IN THE EARTH" .(CH 5 VERSE 32 ).SO MOSLIMS HAVE TO FOLLOW QURAN HOW CAN THEY BECOME TERRORISTS.ISLAM HAS WAR ON TERRORISM AND OPRESSION 1400 YEARS AGO ACCORDING QURAN AND THE TEACHING OF OUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD

I also wonder why Islamic people cheer in the streets whenever terrorist acts are commited against Israel, the U.S. and their allies. I consulted the same book you did, as well as a few other holy texts of Islam. Here's what I found, interestingly, also by Allah and his Prophet. Interesting how it puts your quote into the extreme minority:\n\nBukhari:V4B52N220 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.’” \nQur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.” \nQur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.” \nIshaq:326 “If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.”\nQur’an 8:67 “It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until he has made a great slaughtered in the land.”\nIshaq:588 “When the Apostle descends on your land none of your people will be left when he leaves.” \nTabari IX:42 “We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.”\nIshaq:326 “Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.’ Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean. I was given the most powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was given the power to intercede. These five privileges were awarded to no prophet before me.’” \nIshaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’” \nQur’an 7:3 “Little do you remember My warning. How many towns have We destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook them.”\nIshaq:510 “When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.’ He used to say this of every town he raided.”\nBukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear] near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, ‘Allahu-Akbar!’ [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads. The Prophet had their men killed; their children and woman were taken as captives.”\nBukhari:V9B87N127 “The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror.’”\nIshaq:517 “Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle’s squadron, fully armed, powerful and strong. It brought certain humiliation with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Muhammad conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our dust.”\nTabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”\nBukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet had their men killed, their children and woman taken captive.”\nTabari VIII:129 “After the Messenger had finished with the Khaybar Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews

Where does Jesus say "I am God "?

...and where does he say that only his father in heaven is perfect? Where does Jesus say "WORSHIP ME!"?

Is Jesus Christ actually God?\n\nJohn 17:3, RS: “[Jesus prayed to his Father:] This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God [“who alone art truly God,” NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as “the only true God.”)\n\nJohn 20:17, RS: “Jesus said to her [Mary Magdalene], ‘Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” (So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as “my God.”)\n\nDoes John 1:1 prove that Jesus is God?\n\nJohn 1:1, RS: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [also KJ, JB, Dy, Kx, NAB].” NE reads “what God was, the Word was.” Mo says “the Logos was divine.” AT and Sd tell us “the Word was divine.” The interlinear rendering of ED is “a god was the Word.” NW reads “the Word was a god”; NTIV uses the same wording.\n\nWhat is it that these translators are seeing in the Greek text that moves some of them to refrain from saying “the Word was God”? The definite article (the) appears before the first occurrence of the·os´ (God) but not before the second. The articular (when the article appears) construction of the noun points to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous (without the article) predicate noun before the verb (as the sentence is constructed in Greek) points to a quality about someone. So the text is not saying that the Word (Jesus) was the same as the God with whom he was but, rather, that the Word was godlike, divine, a god. (See 1984 Reference edition of NW, p. 1579.)\n\nWhat did the apostle John mean when he wrote John 1:1? Did he mean that Jesus is himself God or perhaps that Jesus is one God with the Father? In the same chapter, verse 18, John wrote: “No one [“no man,” KJ, Dy] has ever seen God; the only Son [“the only-begotten god,” NW], who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.” (RS) Had any human seen Jesus Christ, the Son? Of course! So, then, was John saying that Jesus was God? Obviously not. Toward the end of his Gospel, John summarized matters, saying: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, [not God, but] the Son of God.”—John 20:31, RS.\n\nDoes Thomas’ exclamation at John 20:28 prove that Jesus is truly God?\n\nJohn 20:28 (RS) reads: “Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’”\n\nThere is no objection to referring to Jesus as “God,” if this is what Thomas had in mind. Such would be in harmony with Jesus’ own quotation from the Psalms in which powerful men, judges, were addressed as “gods.” (John 10:34, 35, RS; Ps. 82:1-6) Of course, Christ occupies a position far higher than such men. Because of the uniqueness of his position in relation to Jehovah, at John 1:18 (NW) Jesus is referred to as “the only-begotten god.” (See also Ro, By.) Isaiah 9:6 (RS) also prophetically describes Jesus as “Mighty God,” but not as the Almighty God. All of this is in harmony with Jesus’ being described as “a god,” or “divine,” at John 1:1 (NW, AT).\n\nThe context helps us to draw the right conclusion from this. Shortly before Jesus’ death, Thomas had heard Jesus’ prayer in which he addressed his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3, RS) After Jesus’ resurrection Jesus had sent a message to his apostles, including Thomas, in which he had said: “I am ascending . . . to my God and your God.” (John 20:17, RS) After recording what Thomas said when he actually saw and touched the resurrected Christ, the apostle John stated: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.” (Jo

Question for Poeple that Believe Evolution is real?

The case for evolution is greatly overstated. Nevertheless, most biology textbooks have errors, misstatements, and biased data about evolution. believe in the theory of evolution:[5]\n1. Origin of Life: Why do textbooks claim that the 1953 Miller-Urey experiment shows how life's building blocks may have formed on the early Earth -- when conditions on the early Earth were probably nothing like those used in the experiment, and the origin of life remains a mystery? \n2. Darwin’s Tree of Life Why don't textbooks discuss the "Cambrian explosion," in which all major animal groups appear together in the fossil record fully formed instead of branching from a common ancestor -- thus contradicting the evolutionary tree of life? \n3. Human Origins. Why are artists' drawings of ape-like humans used to justify materialistic claims that we are just animals and our existence is a mere accident were or what they lool like

Darwin's theory of evolution hasn't been proven,in fact most evidence proves otherwise.A lot of scientists don't believe in evolution.There is no more evidence to support Darwin's theoty of evolution today than there was when Darwin came up with the theory.I don't see how anyone could believe in evolution.There isn't enough evidence to support it.Science itself refutes Darwinism.\n\n• According to the theory of evolution, at some time in the distant past there was no life in the universe -- just elements and chemical compounds. Somehow, these chemicals combined and came to life.\n\n• However, scientists don't really know how life came to be. Even Stanley Miller, whose experiments are cited in most biology text books, says that the origin of life is still unknown. The idea that dead material can come to life all by itself is not consistent with scientific observation.\n\n• The leading mathematicians in the century met with some evolutionary biologists and confronted them with the fact that, according to mathematical statistics, the probabilities for a cell or a protein molecule coming into existence were nil. They even constructed a model on a large computer and tried to figure out the possibilities of such a cell ever happening. The result was zero possibility! - Wistar Institute\n\n• Professor Edwin Conklin observed, "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."\n\n• Under normal circumstances, creatures give birth to the same kind of creatures. It is established scientific fact that like begets like. On rare instances, the DNA in an embryo is damaged, resulting in a mutant child that differs in some respect from its parent. Although a few mutations have been scientifically observed that are beneficial, most mutations produce inferior offspring. For the theory of evolution to be true, there must be a fantastic number of creative mutations that produce new kinds of offspring which are better suited for survival, and therefore are favored by natural selection.\n\n• Darwinists claim that the reptile-to-mammal evolution is well documented. But for reptiles to evolve into mammals at least some of these transformations must have happened: \n• Scales had to have mutated into hair. \n• Breasts had to have evolved from nothing. \n• Externally laid eggs had to evolve into soft-shelled eggs that were nourished by an umbilical cord and placenta in a womb. \n\n• It has never been observed in any laboratory that mutations can cause one species to turn into another. Despite this, evolutionists believe that given enough time, some animals will eventually evolve into other creatures. \n\n• Evolutionists claim that although we have not actually observed these things happening, that does not mean that they are impossible. They say it simply means they are extremely improbable. Evolutionists think the world has been around long enough for all these highly improbable things to happen.\n\n• Sir Fred Hoyle, of Cambridge University stated that statistically the chances of one cell evolving was the same as a tornado passing through a junkyard and giving you a fully functional Boeing 747.\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/arguments.shtml\n\n• Scientific evidence casts serious doubts on the theory of evolution, for example:\n\n• The Fossil Record (Updated 3 July, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/fossil.htm\n\n• Living "Fossils"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/living.htm\n\n• The Cambrian Explosion\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/explosion.htm\n\n• New T.Rex Discoveries (Updated 10 June, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/t-rex.htm\n\n• "Missing Links"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/misslinks.htm

Even Stanley Miller, whose experiments are cited in most biology text books, says that the origin of life is still unknown. The idea that dead material can come to life all by itself is not consistent with scientific observation.\n\n• The leading mathematicians in the century met with some evolutionary biologists and confronted them with the fact that, according to mathematical statistics, the probabilities for a cell or a protein molecule coming into existence were nil. They even constructed a model on a large computer and tried to figure out the possibilities of such a cell ever happening. The result was zero possibility! - Wistar Institute\n\n• Professor Edwin Conklin observed, "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."\n\n• Under normal circumstances, creatures give birth to the same kind of creatures. It is established scientific fact that like begets like. On rare instances, the DNA in an embryo is damaged, resulting in a mutant child that differs in some respect from its parent. Although a few mutations have been scientifically observed that are beneficial, most mutations produce inferior offspring. For the theory of evolution to be true, there must be a fantastic number of creative mutations that produce new kinds of offspring which are better suited for survival, and therefore are favored by natural selection.\n\n• Darwinists claim that the reptile-to-mammal evolution is well documented. But for reptiles to evolve into mammals at least some of these transformations must have happened: \n• Scales had to have mutated into hair. \n• Breasts had to have evolved from nothing. \n• Externally laid eggs had to evolve into soft-shelled eggs that were nourished by an umbilical cord and placenta in a womb. \n\n• It has never been observed in any laboratory that mutations can cause one species to turn into another. Despite this, evolutionists believe that given enough time, some animals will eventually evolve into other creatures. \n\n• Evolutionists claim that although we have not actually observed these things happening, that does not mean that they are impossible. They say it simply means they are extremely improbable. Evolutionists think the world has been around long enough for all these highly improbable things to happen.\n\n• Sir Fred Hoyle, of Cambridge University stated that statistically the chances of one cell evolving was the same as a tornado passing through a junkyard and giving you a fully functional Boeing 747.\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/arguments.shtml\n\n• Scientific evidence casts serious doubts on the theory of evolution, for example:\n\n• The Fossil Record (Updated 3 July, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/fossil.htm\n\n• Living "Fossils"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/living.htm\n\n• The Cambrian Explosion\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/explosion.htm\n\n• New T.Rex Discoveries (Updated 10 June, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/t-rex.htm\n\n• "Missing Links"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/misslinks.htm

Could Xena and Gabrielle (From Xena Warrior Princess) be based on these characters in mythology?

The most complete account of Ixion's tale comes from Pindar in his Pythian Odes. Ixion was the son the Phlegyas, descendent of Ares, and king of the Lapiths in Thessaly. He is significant in many respects, but is chiefly known as the first human to shed kindred blood. This occurred when Ixion invited his father-in-law, Deioneus, to come and collect the price that Ixion owed him for his bride. Upon his arrival, Deioneus fell into a pit filled with burning coals Ixion had camouflaged.\n\nBecause this was a crime new to the human race, nobody could purify Ixion and he wandered an exile. Zeus took pity on him and decided not only to purify Ixion, but to invite him to Olympus as a guest. Once in Olympus though, Ixion became so enamored of Hera, and he desired to sleep with her. Zeus did not believe that Ixion would be so disrespectful as to have designs upon the wife of his host. To see if the rumors were true, Zeus made an image of Hera out of a cloud, and impregnated it. The cloud bore Ixion the monster Centaurus, who was unloved by the Graces and had no honor among men or the gods. Centaurus then mated with the mares of Mt. Pelion in Magnesia, and so from Ixion the race of centaurs was born.\n\nTo punish him, Zeus bound Ixion to a winged (sometimes flaming) wheel, which revolved in the air in all directions.

Ixion became one of the more famous sinners on display on Tartarus, and most writers mention him when describing the place. For example, Ovid wrote of him, and Vergil, with his moralistic interpretation of how sin should be punished, awards Ixion a special mention in the Aenead.\n\nThe focus of Ixion's mythology on the guest/host relationship shows the venerable age of Ixion's story. Of all the attributes Zeus became associated with, he was originally particularly worried that the custom of Xenia, the formal institution of friendship that ensured traveling archaic Greeks could count on each other for safety in antiquity, be enforced (for more on this in all the Greek world see Powell 150; the importance of the guest/host relationship is fundamental to all world mythology, take the Biblical story of Sodom and Gommorah, for example).\n\nAeschylus remembered Ixion's role as the purified progenitor of blood guilt in the Euminides.

What is the best Desktop computer to buy??? please help!!!?

I am expecting to pay about 1,100 dollers give or take. I want a dual core either Intel or AMD. A good videocard 256 MB. 1 GB of memory. 7,200 RPM hard drive. Tell me a website or a company that could be useful or both. Thank you for helping me with my problem.

I would build my own. Reasons to build your own: potential lower cost, higher quality components and absolutely you will have a better power supply than an off the shelf PC. But, if you don't want to do that, go with a dual core AMD (for reasons explained here, http://xgatech.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1554 Intel sucks). I can suggest an off the shelf PC you can buy but number one, you're going to be lucky if you get a 300W power supply and two, you aren't going to get a graphics card with it, that you will have to buy and install separately.\n\nHere are three computers to pick from and you will be able to get the graphics card without going over your budget:\n\nhttp://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Acer-Aspire-trade-Desktop-PC-ASE360UD3800-/sem/rpsm/oid/141419/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do\nhttp://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1350N-/sem/rpsm/oid/142126/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do\nhttp://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Media-Center-TV-PC-M7330N-/sem/rpsm/oid/142369/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do\n\nAnd now the graphics card, since all those computers have a PCIe slot here are some suggestions for you...\n\nThe first rule is I wouldn't get anything less than a Radeon X800XL and that is a good place to start your search.

Any of these will suit your needs and there are many, many more to choose from... just stay away from the X300, X1300, 6200, 6500 or any card that says HyperMemory or Turbochache, DO NOT buy any of those cards, they suck.\n\nI'd get into benchmarks as well but I do that with my friends and they all get glassy eyed so I won't bore you with that. Just know all of these cards will be sufficiently fast when combined with a dual core processor, they are unstoppable. I would also say that you should upgrade the power supply in the PC you purchase because some of these cards will require a connection (via a molex connector) to the power supply or they will not run. For a cheap and good power supply check out this 500W DynaPower Power supply, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817255010 it has plenty of power (provides 28A on the 12V rail - this is very good and is hard to beat... even in the more expensive power supplies) and I have found it to be very reliable.

How can one go about getting loved ones to understand clinical depression and anxiety?

I have days where I just want to cry. And to make it worse, I'm not norm that everyone expects. I call it unique as my family does. My boyfriend has a problem understanding what I feel like with depression. I'm on meds, but I'm getting the dosage lowered for some reasons, so the doc has me off for a little while til we can get that straightened out. The meds are for depression/anxiety, but you know... some days I want to go away, some days I want to cry, some days I can't get out of bed... I just don't know how to get the people to care about me to "get" that. It's not their job to fix it, but I'd appreciate if I wasn't blamed for it... that's one thing I hate- when people tell me it's my fault and I should "just be happy." It doesn't work like that. I already feel alone in this-- alone and yet existing. Anyone with experience in this area?

Print this for them to read:\n\n\nFrom Wikipedia \nClinical depression is a state of sadness or melancholia that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living. The diagnosis may be applied when an individual meets a sufficient number of the symptomatic criteria for the depression spectrum as suggested in the DSM-IV-TR or ICD-9/10. An individual is often seen to suffer from what is termed a "clinical depression" without fully meeting the various criteria advanced for a specific diagnosis on the depression spectrum. There is an ongoing debate regarding the relative importance of genetic or environmental factors, or gross brain problems versus psychosocial functioning.\n\nAlthough a mood characterized by sadness is often colloquially referred to as depression, clinical depression is something more than just a temporary state of sadness. Symptoms lasting two weeks or longer, and of a severity that begins to interfere with typical social functioning and/or activities of daily living, are considered to constitute clinical depression.\n\nClinical depression was originally considered to be a "chemical imbalance" in transmitters in the brain, a theory based on observations made in the 1950s of the effects of reserpine and isoniazid in altering monoamine neurotransmitter levels and affecting depressive symptoms [1]. Subsequent antidepressants have also been found to alter monoamine levels, particularly of serotonin and noradrenaline [2]. Despite a growing body of evidence suggesting otherwise, it is still a commonly held belief that depression is only a chemical imbalance. This idea is often promoted in pharmaceutical advertising, and perpetuated in everyday discussions. Despite this reliance on "common wisdom", recent research and commentary has begun to address depression as an issue broader than this.\n\nClinical depression affects about 16%[3] of the population on at least one occasion in their lives. The mean age of onset, from a number of studies, is in the late 20s. About twice as many females as males report or receive treatment for clinical depression, though this imbalance is shrinking over the course of recent history; this difference seems to completely disappear after the age of 50 - 55, when most females have passed the end of menopause. Clinical depression is currently the leading cause of disability in the US as well as other countries, and is expected to become the second leading cause of disability worldwide (after heart disease) by the year 2020, according to the World Health Organization[4].\n\nOn a historical note, the modern idea of depression appears similar to the much older concept of melancholia. The name melancholia derives from 'black bile', one of the 'four humours' postulated by Galen.\n\nThe Ebers papyrus (ca 1550 BC) contains a short description of clinical depression. Though full of incantations and foul applications meant to turn away disease-causing demons and other superstition, it also evinces a long tradition of empirical practice and observation.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Signs and symptoms \n2 Types of depression \n2.1 Major Depression \n2.2 Other Categories of Depression \n3 The role of anxiety in depression \n3.1 Anxiety \n3.2 Hypomania \n4 Causes of depression \n5 Treatment \n5.1 Medication \n5.2 Dietary supplements \n5.3 Essential nutrients \n5.4 Augmentor drugs \n5.5 Psychotherapy \n5.6 Transcranial magnetic stimulation \n5.7 Vagus nerve stimulation \n5.8 Electroconvulsive therapy \n5.9 Other methods of treatment \n5.9.1 Light therapy \n5.9.2 Exercise \n5.9.3 Meditation \n5.10 Old methods \n6 Adverse reactions \n7 Relapse \n8 See also \n9 Books \n9.1 Books by psychologists and psychiatrists \n9.2 Books by people suffering or having suffered from depression \n10 Sources \n11 External links \n \n\n\n\nSigns and symptoms\nAccording to the DSM-IV-TR criteria for diagnosing a major

How do I get rid of warts on my fingers? They're gross, plz help?

I've tried the patches, and my dermatologist froze them once, but they came back. Is there some type of home remedy or something i could try? I'm desperate.

Remedies\n\nFolk:\n\nAloe Soak a small piece of cotton in aloe gel and tape over the wart. Add more gel every three hours with an eye dropper. Change cotton daily. The wart should begin to dry up in a few days and in a few weeks may disappear.\n\nApple cider vinegar (ACV) Soak your wart in warm water for twenty minutes; dry thoroughly; apply full strength apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball and leave on for ten minutes; wash off with tepid water; dry. \n\n•Another way to use ACV is to keep a plastic container with a lid in the bathroom with enough ACV to cover your foot. After each shower (or daily, if you can), dip your foot with the plantar wart in the container. Place a towel on the floor to dry your foot off after the vinegar bath. Don't rinse the vinegar off. Our reader said the pain from the wart disappeared after one bath, and, over a period of several weeks the warts got smaller, turned dark, and disappeared. As a side benefit she said the skin on her feet turned pink and smooth, like a baby's. She had tried everything over a period of 15 years, including surgery, nitrogen, creams and ultrasound, but no luck. For her this remedy worked wonders. Courtesy Rebecca Leighton Katers.\n\nAshes Apply wood ashes to the wart.\n\nAspirin Dissolve a regular aspirin with a small drop of water and apply to the wart; cover with a Band-Aid®; repeat twice daily. If this method irritates the skin around the wart, apply some Vaseline around the area with a Q-tip®.\n\nBaking soda Rub the wart three times daily with a solution of baking soda and water.\n\nBanana Take a ripe banana peel and cut a piece and apply the pulp side to the affected area and tape securely. Leave the peel on except when bathing, changing daily. This remedy may take several months, but has been effective in getting rid of stubborn plantar warts. Other sources suggest using an unripe banana, as certain healing compounds are more concentrated in the peels before they ripen.\n\nCashews Rub a cashew on the wart several times a day. Another remedy is to chew the cashew and take a small amount of the mixture and place it on the wart. One reader stated that he had used this remedy to get rid of a wart he had had for 25 years. It took 2-3 weeks for the wart to disappear.\n\nCastor oil Apply castor oil to the wart and rub twenty times or so with your finger. Do this at night and in the morning. The wart should disappear in three to four weeks. \n\n• Another castor oil remedy is to apply a half drop of oil to the wart twice daily and cover the wart with some form of first aid tape or bandage. Keep the bandage on 24 hours a day for three weeks, removing only to put on a new one.\n\n• Another variation is to touch the wart with a toothpick soaked in castor oil. (See vitamin A remedy below.)\n\nChalk Rub the wart daily with a piece of white chalk.\n\nDandelion Break open the stem of a dandelion and rub the milky sap on the warts in a circular motion. Do this two or three times a day until the wart disappears. This was the favorite remedy of Will Greer, Grandpa Walton on the TV show "The Waltons."\n\nGlue Apply Elmer's® glue to the affected area. Leave on as long as it stays; scrape off and reapply.\n\nGarlic Dice some garlic and rub on the wart.\n\nGrapefruit seed extract This extract is a powerful all-around antimicrobial product and is an excellent disinfectant. Apply a drop directly to the wart and cover with a Band-Aid®; repeat twice daily. The wart will turn white and fall off in about a week. See our Product.\n\nHydrogen peroxide Dab 35% (food grade) hydrogen peroxide on the warts with a cotton ball or Q-tip®. Hydrogen peroxide can burn your skin, so be very careful when applying it.\n\nIodine Apply iodine daily.\n\nLemon juice Apply lemon juice to the wart and rub in gently. Repeat two or three times daily.\n\nLiver, desiccated Take three tablets three times daily. This supplement is rich in B-vitamins and sulfur.\n\nMilkweed Apply milk

Need to lose twenty pounds in two weeks! PLEASE HELP ME!!! WHAT'S THE BEST WAY?

I have a career deciding competition coming in two weeks,and I have got to drop twenty pounds to make weight. There is no option, it has got to be done, and one way or another it is going to be done. I just hope that you nice people can assist me in doing this the best (least detrimental to my health) way possible. If I can achieve this, a lot of doors are going to open for me. So everybody get yer thinking caps. Thanks so much

I love Dr Phil for one reason and here it is\n\nHe continually asks his guests one simple question: "How's it working for you?"\n\nSuccess in anything comes from FINDING WHAT WORKS then DOING WHAT WORKS.\n\nI am going to reveal to you the Secret Weight Loss Formula that Celebrity personal trainer don’t want you to know about.\n\nBefore I reveal the secret, first I need to explain to you that there is process that your body goes through to burn body fat. \n\nSo how does your body burn fat?\n\nThat process is the same for every human being. I will outline the steps and then show you how you can easily apply some fundamental rules to allow your body to burn the maximum amount of fat with less effort and minimum time. Once you understand that simple process, you can easily see why you are not getting the results that you want. Even bigger, you will finally see that getting that dream body is getting so much closer to reality that you will be extremely motivated to get started as soon as you can.\n\nHow does your body release the fat from the cells?\n\nBefore you can turn your body into a fat burning machine, here what needs to happen: your body fat need to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program. Here are some specific tips that you can apply right away to achieve that.\n\n1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.\n2.Include small amounts of good fats.\n3.Eat natural foods; avoid processed & refined foods\n4.Eat lean proteins with each meal.\n5.Eat more complex carbs, fruits & vegetables.\n\nThe most misunderstood weight loss strategy.\n\nReleasing fat from the fat cells is not the end of it; actually, it is just the beginning. Because the fat needs to be transported from the fat cells to your muscles so it can be burned there. This is done through your blood and the cardiovascular system is responsible for that. The more effective is that system, the more effective your body will become at burning fat. You can improve your cardio vascular system by doing so cardio training. However, don’t go out yet and spend 1 hour on the treadmill because you probably not going to be doing too much good like that.\n\nThe reason is excessive cardio combined with a restrictive diet burns fat but mostly muscle tissue. That is not a good thing at all, because muscle tissue is where you burn the fat and if you are burning away muscle tissue, you are burning your ability to burn more fat in the future (weight loss plateau). You just don’t cut the hand that feed you. So cardio burns fat and it can also burn muscle tissue, this is a huge dilemma. Damn if you do, damn if you don’t. But wait there is a solution to that…\n\nYou need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate. \nDoing too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime \nsoon. Here is what you need to do:\n\n1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate\n2.Never diet but consume little fewer calories that you will burn (No starvation diets, Please...)\n\nThe world most efficient “fat burner” available in the market is FREE and is already available to you.\n\nBefore I reveal to you how personal trainer get those celebrities in the best shape of their life in such short period there is one more thing that I want you to understand. Because it is very important. \nWeight loss marketers always claim that they have the magic “fat burner” that will melt your fat away. The problem is that they have a new one coming out every year, so I wonder if the one from last year was so effective, why we need a new one. There is only one thing that actually burn body fat is you already have it. It does not come in a bottle or a special recipe. Body fat can only be burned

The words, the meanings in the words, and also the nebula of meaning and sound and pun around the words, are all put into an enlivening relation to each other. There is, to employ a word which appealed to Hart Crane in similar contexts, a sense of synergy in all the successful poems of Mr. Cummings: synergy is the condition of working together with an emphasis on the notion of energy in the working, and energy in the positive sense, so that one might say here that Mr. Cummings' words were energetic. The poems are, therefore, eminently beyond paraphrase, not because they have no logical content--for they do, usually very simple--but because so much of the activity is apart from that of logical relationships, is indeed in associations free of, though not alien to, logical associations. In short, they create their objects.\n\n...I have been one of his admirers for twenty-one years since I first saw his poetry in the Dial; and it may be that my admiration has gone up and down so many hills that it is a little fagged and comes up to judgment with entirely too many reservations.

How do magicians fly in their performances?

In the ending climax of this show, the performance uses revolving rings and a glass box to suggest the flying magican is not held up by wires. I'm guessing there must be some misdirection type of trick. How do they make magicians fly?\nhttp://media1.yourdailymedia.com/files/9jYX5qNrqW2W.wmv

That's David Copperfield. A lot of the stuff he does is more like movie special effects than magic. Most of that is just wire work. There are two wires attached to his waist at the sides. Notice that when he rotates about his waist that he pulls his arms in to miss the wires. Also, notice the background fabric. It has vertical shiny stripes to disguise the wires.\n\nI don't know how they do the part with the rings and glass box, but I'm sure no laws of nature were violated! That last part was very, very good.\n\nThis is a good one for alt.magic.secrets at Google Groups.\n\nGoogle groups does have a lot of info. The mechanism is patented, but the patent is disguised so that it is not recognizable as a magic trick. The patent is either 4,905,848 or one similar.\n\nCopperfield is suspended by multiple kevlar cables attached at his waist at the sides. The cables are arranged in fan shapes to prevent sway to the left and right from the perspective of the audience. Sway toward and away from the audience is not noticable because of foreshortening. The mechanism is controlled by a computer to account for stretching of the cables and to provide a smooth start and stop.

How do magicians fly in their performances?In the ending climax of this show, the performance uses revolving rings and a glass box to suggest the flying magican is not held up by wires. I'm guessing there must be some misdirection type of trick. How do they make magicians fly?\nhttp://media1.yourdailymedia.com/files/9jYX5qNrqW2W.wmvThat's David Copperfield. A lot of the stuff he does is more like movie special effects than magic. Most of that is just wire work. There are two wires attached to his waist at the sides. Notice that when he rotates about his waist that he pulls his arms in to miss the wires. Also, notice the background fabric. It has vertical shiny stripes to disguise the wires.\n\nI don't know how they do the part with the rings and glass box, but I'm sure no laws of nature were violated! That last part was very, very good.\n\nThis is a good one for alt.magic.secrets at Google Groups.\n\nGoogle groups does have a lot of info. The mechanism is patented, but the patent is disguised so that it is not recognizable as a magic trick. The patent is either 4,905,848 or one similar.\n\nCopperfield is suspended by multiple kevlar cables attached at his waist at the sides. The cables are arranged in fan shapes to prevent sway to the left and right from the perspective of the audience. Sway toward and away from the audience is not noticable because of foreshortening. The mechanism is controlled by a computer to account for stretching of the cables and to provide a smooth start and stop. I still don't understand the glass box or the rings.\n\nWell, duh.\n\nI did a Google search on \n\ncopperfield flying patent\n\nand it turned up the patent number 5,354,238.

Some of my keys on the keyboard don't work right, how can I clean it without damaging it?

I have about 3 letters that I have to hit a few times for the letter to work. I know about the compressed air, but if that doesn't work, tell me how to remove the top part of the letter to expose the spring. And most important, "how do I put the dang thing back?!!! I don't want to not be able to reassemble it. I'll just manage if I have to.

This question has been asked a few times, sometimes with ok answers, and sometimes with really bad ones...\nI should compile ALL the answers, but here was one of my earlier responses. \n What would help here was a better, clearer SEARCH engine on this site with keywords in all responses to filter out the target better...\n\nhope this helps\n\n\n\n\n\nI have a couple of older keyboards that I really like\nthe key action, the placement, and the key sizes.\n(the backspace is two keys wide, The ENTER is two buttons wide and two buttons tall, such as an IBM Selectric, etc.) \n There are about 5 different kinds of keyboard construction.\nThere are also dozens of rare models, and depending on what\nkind it is, you either can take it apart fairly easily,\nor you should not even open the case! One type of IBM board\nhas a coil spring under each key with a rocker arm. The spring is like the one in a ball point pen, and all are loaded, so that if you take the top and bottom halves apart, you end up with hundreds of springs and parts flying all over the room.\n However. 99% of keyboards are not as complicated. Many keyboards have screws on the back. If so you can use a phillips screwdriver (star) and remove them. The top and bottom of the keyboard usually have snaps that generally open from the front first, and hinge on the back. Gently pop the two halves. If there are no screws then the halves just pop.\nUse a flat screwdriver to pop along the seams. Every couple of inches there will be a snap.\n You will generally see one of 2 basic types today.\nThere will be a green cirucuit board with copper traces on it, covered by a rubber sheet with buttons in it, or you will find each key has a tiny rubber button -- open the keyboard upside down, so the keys and buttons are held\nin place...\nNote that the SPACE bar, the ENTER and other wide keys may have two buttons, and a wire or plastic bar underneath that has an arm on each end to keep the wide key from wobbling from side to side. These vary quite a bit in how they snap in place. You have to figure out how to unsnap them - usually by springing in the two ends which are snapped into\nsliding slots. As other answers have stated, the key caps just snap off the tops of the switching posts. They can be gently pryed off with a flat screwdriver end as a lever on one side, and lift on the other. There is an exception to every rule though, and you may have to solve a puzzle. Rare boards may have a release clip somewhere that you have to push, pull or slide to remove the keys, but, I do not see them very often.\n You can then gently remove the cord which may be snapped or screwed in place, and sometimes it has a 5 or 6 pin connector which can be removed from the board.\n Then remove the green board.\nIf there is a full rubber sheet with buttons, you can remove it.\n Then you are left with 101 keys.

Was Malcolm X assassinated for converting to true Islam?

I`ve been spending a lot of time reading about this great man(one of few great American men though) \nhe at the beeging was a black Muslim who belonged to the nation of Islam which is a group having political aims from the first place with no connection to the real Islam\nElijah Muahmmed altered the teachings of Islam to suite his group & made it only for black people.& when Malcolm saw that this guy who called himself a prophet & claimed that god is black,when Malcolm saw that he was involved in many affairs which is considered against the teachings of Islam his mind started conflicts.Any how when he travelled to Egypt, & then Saudia Arabia to meet King Faisal who explained to him that all people are equal in Islam & he returned to the US after becoming a real muslim & as he split from NOI & called people to real Islam as he thought that Islam could erase all the racial problems in America he was assassinated,I think it was the US government Not the people of NOI .what do you think?

NO he was not killed because of that, read this if you can, maybe it will explain to you.\nBiography of Malcolm X\n\n\n \nMarch 10, 1964\nPhoto by Truman Moore/Time Warner, Inc. \nMalcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louis Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the family's eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl's civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm's fourth birthday. Regardless of the Little's efforts to elude the Legion, in 1929 their Lansing, Michigan home was burned to the ground, and two years later Earl's mutilated body was found lying across the town's trolley tracks. Police ruled both accidents, but the Little's were certain that members of the Black Legion were responsible. Louise had an emotional breakdown several years after the death of her husband and was committed to a mental institution. Her children were split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages.\n\nMalcolm was a smart, focused student and graduated from junior high at the top of his class. However, when a favorite teacher told Malcolm his dream of becoming a lawyer was "no realistic goal for a nigger," Malcolm lost interest in school. He dropped out, spent some time in Boston, Massachusetts working various odd jobs, and then traveled to Harlem, New York where he committed petty crimes. By 1942 Malcolm was coordinating various narcotic, prostitution and gambling rings.\n\nEventually Malcolm and his buddy, Malcolm "Shorty" Jarvis, moved back to Boston, where they were arrested and convicted on burglary charges in 1946. Malcolm placated himself by using the seven-year prison sentence to further his education. It was during this period of self-enlightenment that Malcolm's brother Reginald visited and discussed his recent conversion to the Muslim religious organization the Nation of Islam. Intrigued, Malcolm studied the teachings of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. Muhammad taught that white society actively worked to keep African-Americans from empowering themselves and achieving political, economic and social success.

Was Malcolm X assassinated for converting to true Islam?I`ve been spending a lot of time reading about this great man(one of few great American men though) \nhe at the beeging was a black Muslim who belonged to the nation of Islam which is a group having political aims from the first place with no connection to the real Islam\nElijah Muahmmed altered the teachings of Islam to suite his group & made it only for black people.& when Malcolm saw that this guy who called himself a prophet & claimed that god is black,when Malcolm saw that he was involved in many affairs which is considered against the teachings of Islam his mind started conflicts.Any how when he travelled to Egypt, & then Saudia Arabia to meet King Faisal who explained to him that all people are equal in Islam & he returned to the US after becoming a real muslim & as he split from NOI & called people to real Islam as he thought that Islam could erase all the racial problems in America he was assassinated,I think it was the US government Not the people of NOI .what do you think?NO he was not killed because of that, read this if you can, maybe it will explain to you.\nBiography of Malcolm X\n\n\n \nMarch 10, 1964\nPhoto by Truman Moore/Time Warner, Inc. \nMalcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louis Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the family's eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl's civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm's fourth birthday. Regardless of the Little's efforts to elude the Legion, in 1929 their Lansing, Michigan home was burned to the ground, and two years later Earl's mutilated body was found lying across the town's trolley tracks. Police ruled both accidents, but the Little's were certain that members of the Black Legion were responsible. Louise had an emotional breakdown several years after the death of her husband and was committed to a mental institution. Her children were split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages.\n\nMalcolm was a smart, focused student and graduated from junior high at the top of his class. However, when a favorite teacher told Malcolm his dream of becoming a lawyer was "no realistic goal for a nigger," Malcolm lost interest in school. He dropped out, spent some time in Boston, Massachusetts working various odd jobs, and then traveled to Harlem, New York where he committed petty crimes. By 1942 Malcolm was coordinating various narcotic, prostitution and gambling rings.\n\nEventually Malcolm and his buddy, Malcolm "Shorty" Jarvis, moved back to Boston, where they were arrested and convicted on burglary charges in 1946. Malcolm placated himself by using the seven-year prison sentence to further his education. It was during this period of self-enlightenment that Malcolm's brother Reginald visited and discussed his recent conversion to the Muslim religious organization the Nation of Islam. Intrigued, Malcolm studied the teachings of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. Muhammad taught that white society actively worked to keep African-Americans from empowering themselves and achieving political, economic and social success. Among other goals, the Nation of Islam fought for a state of their own, separate from one inhabited by white people. By the time he was paroled in 1952, Malcolm was a devoted follower with the new surname "X." He considered "Little" a slave name and chose the "X" to signify his lost tribal name.\n\n \nFeb. 18, 1965\nPhoto by Robert L.

plz tell me sometihing about Norton GHOST?

i m well know using of the norton ghost with win98.but there is a problem when i use this softwear with winxp. the problem is, when i creat a winxp image filw with ghost( winxp.gho) it makes successfully.its ok with my own pc or system.it works excellent with my pc. but when i try this image file (winxp.gho) with the other pc or system it does not work. it complete successful but when system restart after the completion of installation. winxp dosn't start. a blue screen appear with the report of some error. other side when i use this image file (winxp.gho) on my own system where i creat it. it works succesfully and work proper.\nplease help me and tell how can it possible, that i creat a ghost image file and run on other system. and this image file work with other system perfectaly. how can i make this image file, which can work with all tha systems without error.

Ghost is a disk cloning program, originally produced by Binary Research, but purchased by Symantec in 1998. The Ghost program launched the market for disk-cloning software. The name Ghost originated as an acronym for "General Hardware-Oriented Software Transfer".\n\n \nSymantec Ghost 8.2Murray Haszard wrote Ghost in 1996, building on experience with a parallel and serial file-copying program previously produced by Binary Research. Initially, Ghost supported only FAT filesystems directly, but it could also copy (although not resize) other filesystems by performing a sector copy. Ghost added support for the NTFS filesystem later in 1996, and also provided a program, Ghostwalker (DOS name: ghstwalk.exe), to change the Security ID (SID) that made Windows NT systems distinguishable from each other. Ghostwalker is also capable of modifying the name of the Windows NT-based computer from its own interface. Ghost added support for the ext2 filesystem in 1999 and for ext3 subsequently.\n\nBinary Reseach developed Ghost in Auckland, New Zealand and, although a few functions (such as translation into other languages) now take place elsewhere, the main development and quality assurance remains in Auckland.\n\n\nVersions\nThe first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks, but version 3.1 in 1997 allowed the cloning of individual partitions as well. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition, or to an image file, restorable either to another machine or the same machine later. Ghost allowed for writing a clone or image:\n\nto a second disk in the same machine \nto another machine linked by a parallel or network cable \nto a network drive \nto a tape drive \nVersion 4.0 of Ghost added multicast technology (following the lead of a competitor, ImageCast). Multicasting allows sending a single image simultaneously to many machines without putting greater stress on the network than by sending an image to a single machine.\n\nThis version also introduced Ghost Explorer, a Windows program which allowed a user to browse the contents of an image file and extract individual files from it. Explorer as subsequently enhanced allowed users to add and delete files on FAT (and later on ext2 and on ext3) filesystems in an image. Ghost Explorer could extract files from NTFS images but not edit NTFS images. Ghost Explorer could work with images from older versions but only slowly; version 4 images contained indexes to find files rapidly.\n\nVersion 4.0 also moved from real-mode DOS to 286 protected-mode. The additional memory available allowed Ghost to provide several levels of compression for images, and to provide the file browser.\n\nIn 1998, Ghost 4.1 allowed for password-protected images.\n\nVersion 5.0 moved to 386 protected mode. Unlike the character-based user interface of earlier versions, 5.0 used a GUI. The Binary Research logo (two stars revolving around each other) played on the main screen while the program idled.\n\nGdisk, a scriptable partition manager, joined the growing suite of Ghost programs in 1998. Gdisk serves a role similar to Fdisk, but has greater capabilities.\n\nGhost 6.0 included a Console application in 2000 to simplify the management of large numbers of machines. The Console communicates with client software on managed computers to allow a system administrator to refresh the disk of a machine remotely.\n\nAs a DOS-based program, Ghost required machines running Windows to reboot to a DOS environment to run it. Ghost 6.0 required a separate DOS partition when used with the Console. Ghost 7.5 in 2002 created a 'Virtual Partition' instead - a DOS partition which actually exists as a file within a normal Windows filesystem. This significantly eased systems management. Ghost 7.5 also allows writing to as well as reading from an image of an NTFS partition. Ghost 7.5 could also write images to CD-R drives, and later versions can also write DVDs.\n\nGhost 2003, a consumer versio

alprazalam?

Why is this medication prescribed?Return to top \nAlprazolam is used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks. Alprazolam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. \n\nHow should this medicine be used? \nAlprazolam comes as a tablet and a concentrated solution (liquid) to take by mouth. It usually is taken two to four times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take alprazolam exactly as directed.\n\nTo take the concentrated liquid, use only the dropper that came with your prescription. Draw into the dropper the amount prescribed for one dose. Squeeze the dropper contents into a liquid or semi-solid food such as water, juice, soda, applesauce, or pudding. Stir the liquid or food gently for a few seconds. The concentrated liquid will blend completely with the food. Drink or eat the entire mixture immediately. Do not store for future use.\n\nYour doctor will probably start you on a low dose of alprazolam and gradually increase your dose, not more than once every 3 or 4 days. \n\nAlprazolam can be habit-forming. Do not take a larger dose or take it more often or for a longer time than your doctor tells you to. Do not stop taking alprazolam without talking to your doctor. Suddenly stopping to take alprazolam may worsen your condition and cause withdrawal symptoms (anxiousness, sleeplessness, irritability, and seizures). Withdrawal symptoms may be worse if you take more than 4 mg of alprazolam every day. Your doctor will decrease your dose gradually. \n\nOther uses for this medicine\nAlprazolam also is used sometimes to treat depression, fear of open spaces (agoraphobia), and premenstrual syndrome. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medication for your condition.\n\nThis medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.\n\nWhat special precautions should I follow? \nBefore taking alprazolam,\n\ntell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide (Librium, Librax), clonazepam (Klonopin), clorazepate (Tranxene), diazepam (Valium), estazolam (ProSom), flurazepam (Dalmane), halazepam (Paxipam), lorazepam (Ativan), oxazepam (Serax), prazepam (Centrax), quazepam (Doral), temazepam (Restoril), triazolam (Halcion), or any other medications. \ndo not take alprazolam if you are taking itraconazole (Sporanox) or ketoconazole (Nizoral). \ntell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Be sure to mention any of the following: amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone); antidepressants (mood elevators) such as desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Tofranil), and nefazodone (Serzone); antifungals such as fluconazole (Diflucan); antihistamines; cimetidine (Tagamet); clarithromycin (Biaxin); cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune); diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac); ergotamine (Cafatine, Cafergot, Wigraine, others); erythromycin (E.E.S., E-Mycin, Erythrocin); isoniazid (INH, Nydrazid); medications for mental illness and seizures; nicardipine (Cardene); nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia); oral contraceptives (birth control pills); propoxyphene (Darvon); selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft); sedatives; sleeping pills; and tranquilizers. Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects. \ntell your doctor if you have or have ever had glaucoma; depression; or lung, kidney, or liver disease. \ntell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking alprazolam, call your doctor immediately. \nif you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the d

Why do people persecute me? Why do they call me evil?

You don't know anything about me except what I post here, and for some reason that's enough for you to think you know me.

Wow sorry about your perception, allow me to change a few things, as i did not intend to seem hateful.\n\n most Christians believe that where God is absent, evil lies. Do i mean this to you directly? well, lets say i reviewed your Q&A and 360 before my post. You basically say you are demon possessed. Does this mean that you have absence of God in your life, yes i believe so, so im just im just sharing a common general belief there right? no need to feel defensive, honestly. We could all be closer to God.\nsecondly here i write,\n\n"You poor thing, you have serious issues, its no wonder, you wont let the true LOrd Hold you and save you and coddle you and share his peace and love with you, well how can you expect to be nurtured? and grow into the wonderful being that he planned for you?"\nHave you pushed the Lord away? I know you have, and I want you to know that you can have all of the above if you let Him in. Does a part of me tell myself that you need that? Yes it does. I see you as hurting. and let me say on a kind gentle note, you dont have to, there are better ways than the sarcastics stated below.\n\n"Now go alienate yourself from all that is Good, take the EASY way; without question,listen to the LIES, deny the ache and stench in your heart, youll feel much more comfortable im sure. "\n\nsarcastic as heck here sweetie do you understand why? Because I have looked at your Q&A,and 360, i am not reacting blindly to this question alone as i would just be sharing what everone else tries to share, to save you, that you are OBVIOUSLY not hearing, anyway.\n\nso i got your attention....GOOD.\n\nSo I peek into who you are and i see, "demon posessed, my demon masters child, death rocks" attitutude.\nand i say,\n"and of course youre nice honey, nice always comes when manipulation is needed,"\n\nguess what? its the truth, generally speaking, it is, and do i feel it would apply to you, heck yes, it applies to ALL, people dont even realize it. They sugar coat crap all the time to get the desired outcome, and this too does not come from God.\n\nI hope and pray you have good in you, but isnt that difficult with the demon ruling and all? doesnt he want to make it all about you? if that part of you can undertand good is still in there, bring it out sister, Get strong, and fight, do you realize what bondage you are in? If you dont think its that easy its because your head is filled with lies.\nI, pregowtwins promise never to fill someones head with lies or spew hatred, but do you know that?\nI wont however pity you or speak to you condescendingly. You are not a baby, and I (nor was Jesus for that matter), not a pushover.\n\n\n"look at the answerer above me, awww, how true and heartfelt are his comments, he could surely be your best friend."\n\nwell thats just as clear to day as me.

is this a sin.....?

is it a sin if you want to hit someone that talks so bad about God & Jesus? what does God think about people that get mad at people who are against God. seeing how we are not all perfect. we have to defend Him. this makes me think..."we are supposed to spank our children when they do wrong, but when someone else does wrong by talking bad about God, we can't whip them, & they seem to just get away with it. ya know what i mean, example... we are supposed to spank our children if they told a lie, but these people can do WAY WORSE things than that, & we are not supposed to hit them. by the way, i don't spank my children. i just can't do it. HOWEVER, i would like to spank these kind of people that get on here and insult God!!!!!!!

Well, concerning one of the deadly sins the Bible says to" be slow to anger," which means to me that it is ok to anger.\n\n In the bible you will read were Jesus deciples have come to His defense many times! One even cut the ear off a man then prayed for him afterward.\n\n To many times we chrsitians think we have to be passive and calm but we must fight and defend the religion that Christ gave to us. I is the judeo influence in our bibles that has kept us from being what GOD reall wants us to be. And that is warriors for Christ. If they keep us passive our religion that GOD gave us will be nothing more than passive.Read the Bible it is not about passivenes . It is about war with the anti-christ. Adn yes the anti-christ are many and with us today. It is those same anti-Christ that wish us to become passive while other religions do what they know is proper and fit.\n\n For instance, the remark about wereas Jesus was nailed to the cross and said "forgive them Father for they know not what they do" is a false scripture that was added sometimes in the late 1600's. In any autograph of the Bible from the time of Jesus untill the KJV of 1611 ther is no mention of this verse at all! It is not part of the original verses given by GOD in the original manuscripts of the Bible. \n\n So in reality GOD never forgave them! It was added at a later date in order that their be a false forgivenes for those who murdered Jesus. In the Septuagint this verse is also not included because it is not part of original scripture. It was added by demons so that you would not hold them accountable and forgiive for that which the Bible never forgave them.\n\n another verse that is aslo controversal is the (tuen the other cheek ) verse which also is not in any of the original manuscripts or autographs of GODS true word. In fact tin the Septuagint and other versions before 1611 it would read "TURN NOT THE OTHER CHEEK". you can find any of this out buy purchasing a newly translated Septuagint which btw when two or more people read there is no controversy in what GODS word says. the Septuagint is the original script of the bible and the same script that JESUS quoted from. After all GOD did trust the keeping of thse words in the hands of the GREEKS. It is the Greek Septuagint that is the most truest Bible scriptures you will ever find. In fact you will find no word "JEW" in it because the word "JEW" is a 1700 English inventive word and has no place in our bibles. It is a blasphmous word that does not belong!\n\n If you are reading scripture correct and showing yourself the approved word of GOD ( testing it to make sure it is the apporved word of GOD by comparing it with history and later Bibles) then you will find that it is often good to fight the enimies of wo are your enemies also.\n\n But not always! one must use diligence and the word of GOd to support your actions. most often the other answers listed here work very well and should be the first action. but when push comes to shove then you must fight.\n\nRemember the Bible tells us the anti-christ are upon us now as they were with Jesus. This makes the anti-christ a people we know and it also makes them many, not one. It is they whom in time we must physically fight and destroy. Our Bible says it is so! \n\nRead Bronons answer here:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApM_vplMABuDmZlf7rWXVXDsy6IX?qid=1006031616306

I am looking for a Jewish Rabbi. Is there one on here? Question inside also.?

I would like to know exactly what you believe in? I know Jesus was a Jew, so how does he come into your culture? I would also like your e-mail address to talk to you all the time. Thanks

The best places to find out what Jews believe, on the web, are at:::\n\nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org\nand\nhttp://JewFaq.org\n\nto begin with.\n\nJesus is simply not relevant to Judaism and the Jewish people. Jesus is to the Jews what Mohammed is to Christians, or what Buddha is to Christians, he was a man who lived, and about whom a whole religion developed, and that is all.\n\nThere are very specific reasons why Jesus is not considered by Jews to be Gd, the son of Gd, the messiah, or a savior. Here is a simple explanation:::\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\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \nsouls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \nalso the soul of the son is mine: the soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die. Again, when \nthe wicked man turneth away from his \nwickedness that he hath committed, and doeth \nthat which is lawful and right, he shall save \nhis soul alive. \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

Why do catholics believe these things?

Question~ "Why is it that Catholic doctrine states the Pope is infallible" \n\nGod says "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in MAN" \nPsalm 118:8 \n\n"As it is written, There is NONE righteous, NO NOT ONE:" \nRomans 3:10 \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nQuestion~ "Why does Catholic doctrine state that Peter was the first Pope" \n\nGod says "And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw HIS WIFE'S MOTHER laid, and sick of a fever." \nMatthew 8:14 \n\nThe Bible is very plain here. It easily states that Peter had a wife that had a mother that was ill. Notice the next verse... Matthew 8:15 "And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them." Jesus not only met Peter's mother-in-law, He HEALED her, so she could cook for Him. \n\nGod says "And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into *Simon's house. And SIMON'S WIFE'S mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her." \nLuke 4:38 \n\n*Notice that Simon and Peter are the same person. Matthew 4:18 says... "And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother..." Jesus was actually the one who gave Simon the name Peter. In Matthew 16:18 Jesus says... "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Simon-Peter was indeed an Apostle of our Lord as well as a married man. \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nQuestion~ "If Peter's a Pope, than how is it he was married? doesn't Catholic doctrine forbid marriage?" \n\nGod says "A BISHOP then must be blameless, the HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;" \n1Timothy 3:2 \n\nAccording to Strong's Concordance, A Bishop is defined as an OVERSEER or PASTOR (Strong's # 1984) Would not the Pope be considered an Overseer or Pastor of the Catholic church? Why then does Catholic doctrine forbid marriage when the Bible states that it is ok to be married, if not preferred. \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nQuestion~ "Why does Catholic doctrine require one to repeat certain prayers while saying the rosary" \n\nGod says "But when ye pray, use not VAIN REPETITIONS, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" \nMatthew 6:7 \n\nI use to pray the entire rosary every single day. That's 45 minutes of repeating the same prayers over and over again while meditating on the Lord and His Five Joyful Mysteries... Five Sorrowful Mysteries... and The Five Glorious Mysteries. This is indeed vain repetitions without a doubt. \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nQuestion~ "Why does Catholic doctrine state that Jesus had no brothers and sisters, and that Mary was a virgin until her death" \n\nGod says "Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his BRETHREN, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his SISTERS, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?" \nMatthew 13:55-56 \n\nThis verse confirms people in Jesus' home town that watched Jesus grow up from a young man helping His father in his trade as a carpenter, to doing great miracles right before their eyes. They remembered Jesus lived there as well as the fact that He had four brothers. PLUS they still have Jesus' SISTERS living among them. How many sisters did Jesus have? The Bible doesn't say. Why are they still living there? Did they get married and settled down in their home town to raise a family? It ma

I was brought up Catholic from birth and was brainwashed into believing what I was taught as teachings from the Bible. I have always believed and honored my spirituality in God, but too many years of it was not based in His Word. \n\nLuckily, I was led to the Bible & I have been trying to sort out the Truth from the lies. It's a hurtful issue that I am working hard to overcome and find acceptance with. I am very confused, and somewhat bitter as well, but, at the same time, am I VERY thankful for the wonderful people here who share their knowlegde with beginners like me and are helping me along. That in itself defines truth Faith in God to me and the power of believing he always there for you if you seek him. Thank You everyone.

I don't know of any specific chart, but try this exercise out for fun:\n\nCan you read these right the first time?\n\n1) The bandage was wound around the wound.\n\n2) The farm was used to produce produce.\n\n3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.\n\n4) We must polish the Polish furniture.\n\n5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.\n\n6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.\n\n7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.\n\n8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.\n\n9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.\n\n10) I did not object to the object.\n\n11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.\n\n12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.\n\n13) They were too close to the door to close it.\n\n14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.\n\n15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.\n\n16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.\n\n17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.\n\n 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.\n\n19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.\n\n20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?\n\n\nLet's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.\n\nAnd why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?\n\nIf teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?\n\nHow can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.\n\nEnglish was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all.

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? \n\nWe call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.

what are some good blond jokes?

TRY THESE...\n\n1\n\nA bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day, when the door bursts open and in comes four exuberant blondes. They come up to the bar, order five bottles of champagne and ten glasses, take their order over and sit down at a large table. The corks are popped, the glasses are filled and they begin toasting and chanting, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"\n\n\n\nSoon, three more blondes arrive, take up their drinks and the chanting grows, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" Two more blondes show up and soon their voices join in raising the roof, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"\n\n\n\nFinally, the tenth blonde comes in with a picture under her arm. She walks over to the table, sets the picture in the middle and the table erupts. Up jump the others, they begin dancing around the table, exchanging high-fives, all the while chanting, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"\n\n\n\nThe bartender can't contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table. There in the center is a beautiful child's puzzle of the cookie monster. When the frenzy dies down a little bit, the bartender asks one of the blondes, "What's all the chanting and celebration about?"\n\n\n\nThe blonde who brought in the picture pipes up, "Everyone thinks that blondes are dumb and they make fun of us. So, we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought that puzzle and put it together. The side of the box said 2 - 4 years, but we put it together in 51 days!"\n\n\n2\n\nA blonde was driving down the motorway when her mobile phone rang .It was her\nhusband, urgently warning her: "Honey, I just heard on the news that there's\na car going the wrong way on the M25. Please be careful!" "It's not just one\ncar!" said the blonde, "There's f***ing hundreds of them!"\n\n\n3\n\nA blond gets tired of it all and dyes her hair. She's now a brunette and feels *much* smarter. Everyone tells her she's smarter. So she goes for a drive in the country one day and stops in a lane which is blocked by a herd of sheep. She gets out, talks to the farmer and says, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I have one?"\n\n\n\nHe looks perplexed but says, "Sure."\n\n\n\nSo she says, " Uh....157?"\n\n\n\nHe says, "My God, that's correct. Take a sheep. "\n\n\n\nSo she wanders among the herd. She likes this one and that one and finally is very attracted to one that wags its tail and likes her. She picks it up and puts in it the car.\n\n\n\nThe farmer says, "Can I make a deal with you?"\n\n\n\n"Sure, " says she.\n\n\n\nHe says, "If I can guess what color your hair really is,\n\ncan I have my dog back?"\n\n\n4\n\nA man entered the bus, with his pockets full of golf balls and sat down next\nto a blond. The blond kept looking quizzically at him and his bulging\npockets.\n\nFinally, after many such glances from her he said, "It's golf balls."\n\nThe blond continued to look at him thoughtfully and finally asked, "Does it\nhurt as much as tennis elbow?"\n\n\n5\n\nA blonde is roller-skating down the board-walk one day. She's just skating along in her lycra pants, smiling at everyone, listening to her Walkman. \n\nShe decides that she really needs a haircut. She skates into the first salon she sees and goes up to the hairdresser and says, "I need a haircut." The hairdresser checks her out and says, "OK, sit down and take off your headphones." "No way!" shouts the blonde, "If I take off my headphones, I'll die!" "Then I can't give you a haircut," replies the hairdresser. \n\nSo the blonde gets up and leaves and skates further down the board-walk. She sees another salon, goes in, and says to the hairdresser, "I need a haircut... but you can't take off my headphones or I'll die!"

What do you think? Written by a black rev-About New Orleans & Katrina- his pic did not copy out of my e-mail?

Carefully read the whole article. You'll be amazed at this guy!!!\n\nI don't know the man who wrote this, but I looked at his picture and read it with my mouth hanging open. He says things here that no white man could ever write and keep his job as a writer, and he speaks the truth. \n\n\nWednesday, September 21, 2005 -Moral poverty cost blacks in New Orleans -1:00 a.m. Eastern\n \n\n \nBy \n \n \nSay a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions: \n\nWhat would you do? \n\n\nWhat would you do if you were black? \n\n\nSadly, the two questions don't have the same answer. \n\nTo the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city quickly to protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like. \n\nFor better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the second question. If you're black and a hurricane is about to destroy your city, you'll probably wait for the government to save you. \n\nThis was not always the case. Prior to 40 years ago, such a pathetic performance by the black community in a time of crisis would have been inconceivable. The first response would have come from black men. They would take care of their families, bring them to safety, and then help the rest of the community. Then local government would come in. \n\nNo longer. When 75 percent of New Orleans residents had left the city, it was primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks that stayed behind and waited for the government to bail them out. This, as we know, did not turn out good results. \n! \nEnter Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Jackson and Farrakhan laid blame on "racist" President Bush. Farrakhan actually proposed the idea that the government blew up a levee so as to kill blacks and save whites. The two demanded massive governmental spending to rebuild New Orleans, above and beyond the federal government's proposed $60 billion. Not only that, these two were positioning themselves as the gatekeepers to supervise the dispersion of funds. Perfect: Two of the most dishonest elite blacks in America, "overseeing" b! illions of dollars. I wonder where that money will end up. \n\nOf course, if these two were really serious about laying blame on government, they should blame the local one. Responsibility to perform legally and practically fell first on the mayor of New Orleans. We are now all familiar with Mayor Ray Nagin the black Democrat who likes to yell at President Bush for failing to do Nagin's job. The facts, unfortunately, do not support Nagin's wailing. As the Washington Times puts it, "recent reports show [Nagin] failed to follow through on his own city's emergency-response plan, which acknowledged that thousan! ds of the city's poorest residents would have no way to evacuate the city." \n\nOne wonders how there was "no way" for these people to evacuate the city. We have photographic evidence telling us otherwise. You've probably seen it by now the photo showing 2,000 parked school buses, unused and underwater. How much planning does it require to put people on a bus and leave town, Mayor Nagin? \n\nInstead of doing the obvious, Mayor Nagin (with no positive contribution from Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco, the other major leader vested with responsibility to address the hurricane disaster) loaded remaining New Orleans residents into the Superdome and the city's convention center. We know how that plan turned out. \n\nAbout five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of Black Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the United States and let blacks run the country, they would turn America into a ghetto within 10 years. The audience, shall we say, disagreed with me strongly. Now I have to disagree with me. I gave blacks too much credi

I was in New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina hit. When we were evacuating the city we passed by very poor neighborhoods. Most of the people living in those neighborhoods were African American. They were sitting on the porches waving to us. I asked my boyfriend why they weren't leaving and he said they didn't have enough money for gas, food, hotel etc.. I don't think its the entire black race that feels this way about it. Just those in New Orleans who did not have enough money to evacuate.

Check this out..\nThe primary air mass classifications are given below:\n\nmT= Maritime Tropical\nmP= Maritime Polar\ncP = Continental Polar\ncT = Continental Tropical\nA = Arctic\nH = Highland\n\nMaritime Tropical\n\nThe maritime tropical air mass is most often felt in the Southeast US. In the winter this air mass is shoved toward the equator but in summer it can cover much of the US east of the Rockies. This air mass results from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Stream. The warm waters in this region evaporate an enormous volume of water. Cold water currents tend to stabilize the atmosphere and produce little evaporation while warm waters destabilize the atmosphere and add moisture. The warm waters warm the low levels of the atmosphere. Temperatures in this air mass warm to highs in the 80's and 90's in the summer and the 70's and 80's in winter. High dewpoints characterize mT air. At all times of the year dewpoints are greater than 50 ° F. The majority of US thunderstorm activity develops within the mT airmass, most being by way of scattered thermodynamic thunderstorms and thunderstorms out ahead of fronts.\nAs the maritime tropical airmass moves over land it begins to "pick up" characteristics of a continental climate. This is particularly true when the mT airmass moves toward the North. The mT airmass modifies due to lower sun angles, drier land below, and cooler land below. The surface CHART #1 show a mT airmass across the Eastern US with the classic mT airmass in the Southeast US and a modified mT airmass across New England. (link to this chart is coming soon)\n\nMaritime Polar\n\nThe source region for mP air is over cold ocean currents or high latitude ocean waters. This air does not have the moisture content as mT air. Since mP air is always near saturation, orographic lifting of the air mass can produce widespread rain or snow. This air mass is notorious for producing fog, drizzle, cloudy weather and long lasting light to moderate rain. The temperature of mP air ranges from just above freezing to below 70 ° F. mP air is modified as it moves over elevated terrain. On the windward side of mountain ranges, mP air can produce an abundance of rain and snow. Once on the lee side of mountains, the mP airmass modifies into a continental airmass. These air masses produce cold fronts but the air is not as cold as polar or arctic fronts. They are often termed "Pacific fronts" or "back-door cold fronts". Maritime Polar air occurs frequently in the Pacific Northwest and to a lesser degree New England and can be seen on CHART #1.\n\nContinental Polar\n\nThis airmass has low dewpoints, cold temperatures and a high degree of stability. The denseness of cP air creates surface high pressure and a trough aloft, especially when cP air moves into lower latitudes. Precipitation in association with cP air is usually light due to the dryness and low moisture capacity of the air. Precipitation is most common on the "edges" of cP air, especially where it intersects and displaces mT air. Precipitation within a cP air mass is elevated and dynamically induced. These dynamical uplift mechanisms include jet streaks, isentropic lifting and positive differential vorticity advection. Cold surface temperatures and a dry boundary layer inhibit thermodynamic convection.\ncP air modifies rapidly as it moves to the South. The dewpoints remain low but the temperature of this airmass increases when moving South due to the following: warmer soil temperature, a shallower airmass, higher sun angles and a lack of surface snow cover. cP air will modify less rapidly if soil temperature are abnormally low to the south (especially if surface snow cover exists). On some occasions the subtropical jet will "overrun" the shallow cP air. If this occurs, the cP air will modify less rapidly due to a much reduced solar heating.

Verily, Allâh has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."\nand \nin quran allah say in al nabiya in verse 91 \nAnd (remember) she who guarded her chastity [Virgin Maryam (Mary)], We breathed into (the sleeves of) her (shirt or garment) [through Our Rûh ­ Jibrael (Gabriel)][], and We made her and her son ['Iesa (Jesus)] a sign for Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinns). \n \nwhat jewish say about hear\nThe Talmud is one of the most major of all books in Judaism after the Torah.\nInsults Against Blessed Mary, Sanhedrin 106a . Says Jesus' mother was a whore: "She who was She who was the descend

The Quran makes three references to the return of Jesus son of Mary (may peace be upon him) to the earth - i.e. his descent from the sky - in order to accomplish various tasks.\n\nTHE FIRST REFERENCE: is in Surah Nisaa’, verses (156-159). As for the context of these verses, Allah, the Exalted, mentions the fabrications of the Jews, their slander of Mary, their rejection of Faith, and claim that they killed Jesus son of Mary - the Messenger of Allah. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, declares the falsity of these claims and says, "And because of their saying (boasting), ‘We killed Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,’ - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear to them so." [an-Nisaa’ 4:157] We have learned from the preceding sections about the disciple who resembled Jesus and voluntarily sacrificed and ransomed himself, as has been specifically stated by the leading scholars of Islam.\n\nSO WHAT EXACTLY HAPPEDNED THEN? Allah, the Exalted, raised Jesus son of Mary to the sky. His enemies, the Jews, failed to harm him, let alone kill and crucify him. This is a clear and unambiguous text that carries no room for another interpretation. It states clearly that Allah, the Exalted, raised Jesus to Himself - bodily and his soul - in order to save him from the Jews murdering and crucifying him. Allah, the Exalted, says in the Quran, "But Allah raised him up (with his body and soul) unto Himself; and Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise." [an-Nisaa’ 4:158]\n\nSo, if anyone claims that only the soul was raised, it would be incorrect, as is shown from the two following perspectives.\n\nFIRSTLY, Allah made a mention of this raise in the context of refutation of the claim of the Jews that they killed the Christ. So, if it were that only the soul was raised, then that would actually mean an acknowledgment of the claim of the Jews that they killed the Christ - which is to remove his soul!\n\nSECONDLY, if it were true that only his soul was raised, there would remain no distinction for Jesus above the rest. For all Prophets (peace be upon them), and in fact all believing Muslims, have their souls raised to the sky upon their death. So, does there remain anything that distinguishes Jesus, for which Allah makes a special marked mention in the Quran that He raised him?\n\n\nAfter establishing this point, another Quranic verse follows in the same context of the ones that preceded. This one clearly bears evidence on another return of the Christ (peace be upon him) to the earth and that he will descend from the sky. The purpose of this is the crucial role he will play upon his return to the earth. Allah, the Exalted, says, "And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (Jesus son of Mary as a Messenger of Allah and a human being) before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them." [an-Nisaa’ 4:159] \n\nThe verse presents the message in a future tense, so it is with regards to the events to come after the raising of the Christ. It informs that some of the People of the Book will believe in the Christ. But when will that be? It will be upon his descent, his return and coming onto the earth once again. Imam Tabari, the renowned scholar of the Quranic exegesis (may Allah cover him in mercy), explained this. He said, “The meaning of the verse ‘And there is none of the people of the Scripture but must believe in him’, that is: in Jesus, ‘before his death’, that is: before the death of Jesus. It is explained as follows: that all of them will affirm and acknowledge him when he descends to kill the Antichrist, thereafter, all the religion will give way to only the one, which is the pure upright religion of Islam - the religion of Abraham (may the peace be him)." [See Tafsir at-Tabari 4:356-357].\n\nTHE SECOND REFERENCE in the Noble Quran to the imperative nature of the descent of Je

As for the context of these verses, Allah, the Exalted, mentions the fabrications of the Jews, their slander of Mary, their rejection of Faith, and claim that they killed Jesus son of Mary - the Messenger of Allah. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, declares the falsity of these claims and says, "And because of their saying (boasting), ‘We killed Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,’ - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear to them so." [an-Nisaa’ 4:157] We have learned from the preceding sections about the disciple who resembled Jesus and voluntarily sacrificed and ransomed himself, as has been specifically stated by the leading scholars of Islam.\n\nSO WHAT EXACTLY HAPPEDNED THEN? Allah, the Exalted, raised Jesus son of Mary to the sky. His enemies, the Jews, failed to harm him, let alone kill and crucify him. This is a clear and unambiguous text that carries no room for another interpretation. It states clearly that Allah, the Exalted, raised Jesus to Himself - bodily and his soul - in order to save him from the Jews murdering and crucifying him. Allah, the Exalted, says in the Quran, "But Allah raised him up (with his body and soul) unto Himself; and Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise." [an-Nisaa’ 4:158]\n\nSo, if anyone claims that only the soul was raised, it would be incorrect, as is shown from the two following perspectives.\n\nFIRSTLY, Allah made a mention of this raise in the context of refutation of the claim of the Jews that they killed the Christ.

Back in Smallville, the last two remaining Kryptonians emerge from the space ship that crash landed in the meteorite shower.

With the co-ordinates for Smallville locked in he starts the launch sequence with the intention of forever purging the town of the population of meteor freaks. Without his powers, Clark is put in an especially vulnerable position as he and Chloe frantically try to track Gabriel down before it's too late. Meanwhile, Lionel Luthor, still in a catatonic state, has scrawled symbols from the Kryptonian spaceship all over the walls of his padded cell. \nSeason 5, Episode 4: Aqua\n20 October 2005\nAquaman is in the small town and after saving Lois's life, the two fall in love.\n \nSeason 5, Episode 5: Thirst\n27 October 2005\nPauline Kahn (Carrie Fisher), editor-in-chief of The Daily Planet offers Chloe the chance to prove herself by writing a big story.

Jonathan questions Jack's integrity when he is implicated in the hit and run murder of a nineteen-year-old stripper outside an exclusive club in Metropolis. Sensing this might be her first big story for The Daily Planet, Chloe enlists the help of Lois and Clark in investigating the murder. \nSeason 5, Episode 7: Splinter\n10 November 2005\nClark is infected by a silver Kryptonite rock that Lana receives in a package. The silver Kryptonite causes Clark to have paranoid delusions that put everyone in danger, especially when his delusions make him believe that his Parents, Chloe, Lana and Lex are all against him. \nSeason 5, Episode 8: Solitude\n17 November 2005\n \nSeason 5, Episode 9: Lexmas\n8 December 2005\n \nSeason 5, Episode 10: Fanatic\n12 January 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 11: Lockdown\n19 January 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 12: Reckoning\n26 January 2006\nClark reveals his secret to Lana, Jonathan and Lex learn the results of the senatorial election, and there is a tragic car accident on the highway that takes the life of someone Clark loves, forcing Clark to appeal to Jor-El for help.\n \nSeason 5, Episode 13: Vengeance\n2 February 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 14: Tomb\n9 February 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 15: Cyborg\n15 February 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 16: Hypnotic\n30 March 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 17: Void\n6 April 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 18: Fragile\n????\n \nSeason 5, Episode 20: Fade\n27 April 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 21: Oracle\n4 May 2006\n \nSeason 5, Episode 22: Vessel\n???? \n\n\nAs for this being the final season...?

Why World Doesn't FORCE Islamic countries to drop apostasy rules?

last time the afghaninstan didn't change its laws to allow freedom of changing religion or staying without religion. but rather the court jsut will rule in Rahman case that there is no enough evidence or he is mentally ill!! that's bizarre. why Islamic missionaries work freely everywhere, but Muslims still can't change their religion. why the world doesn't move to force the rest of Islamic countries who still apply apostasy or doesn't do anything to stop people from revenging from apostate. or still restrict missionaries of other religions?\n\nShould the WORLD take similar ACTIONS by prohibiting ISLAMIC missionaries from such COUNTRIES FROM CALLING FOR THEIR RELIGION??\n\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060326/ap_on_re_mi_ea/afghan_christian_convert_37;_ylt=ApRY3Fgfj_tdRqB1RDV.04LOVooA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

Perfect question !\n\nI do not believe that forcing would bring a better treatment of understanding of the issues... Exposing the absurdity of it and containment would be the best approach.\n\nI just saw a chest box... On one side it had the leaders of the West, Bush, CHirac, Sharon and Kofi Annan, on the other side, Arafat, Chinese leader, Putin and another arab leader... It is clear to me that the UN is perceived as the ennomy for most Islamic states and for a majority of Muslims, they see it and understand it as a puppet of their Ennemi to control them...\n\nThe UN is the grounds from which to level these types of religious idioties.

Why World Doesn't FORCE Islamic countries to drop apostasy rules?last time the afghaninstan didn't change its laws to allow freedom of changing religion or staying without religion. but rather the court jsut will rule in Rahman case that there is no enough evidence or he is mentally ill!! that's bizarre. why Islamic missionaries work freely everywhere, but Muslims still can't change their religion. why the world doesn't move to force the rest of Islamic countries who still apply apostasy or doesn't do anything to stop people from revenging from apostate. or still restrict missionaries of other religions?\n\nShould the WORLD take similar ACTIONS by prohibiting ISLAMIC missionaries from such COUNTRIES FROM CALLING FOR THEIR RELIGION??\n\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060326/ap_on_re_mi_ea/afghan_christian_convert_37;_ylt=ApRY3Fgfj_tdRqB1RDV.04LOVooA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUlPerfect question !\n\nI do not believe that forcing would bring a better treatment of understanding of the issues... Exposing the absurdity of it and containment would be the best approach.\n\nI just saw a chest box... On one side it had the leaders of the West, Bush, CHirac, Sharon and Kofi Annan, on the other side, Arafat, Chinese leader, Putin and another arab leader... It is clear to me that the UN is perceived as the ennomy for most Islamic states and for a majority of Muslims, they see it and understand it as a puppet of their Ennemi to control them...\n\nThe UN is the grounds from which to level these types of religious idioties.

I love BUSH and his agenda, why shouldnt the rest of yall?

I missed my opportunity to provide an answer to that, " I support Bush, do you" question before she deleted it. But, Pres. BUSH is my f*#king "HERO". Im a "African American" guy from the inner city and I admire the guy. All he is saying is that nothing, "absolutely nothing" is more important than "getting that money". We Americans need to realize that money is more important than anything, than God, family, morals, rules, love, and all that other stuff. Those people that died on 9/11 were just casualties of war. We need to understand that BUSH and his folks getting that money is more important than those deaths. And Im sick and tired of poor people "mostly minority" people complaining about him. Im black, and he's my freakkin' idol. And those people overseas need to let our Government take over their countries. He is trying to make them powerful and wealthy, they need to simply listen. Lastly, we should adore BUSH, because he is who we all aspire to be like. Thank you

25 REASONS TO FEEL BAD ABOUT BUSH\n\nEconomic Indicators\n\n1. The unemployment rate averaged 4.1 percent in 2000 and reached a 30 year low of 3.9 percent in October 2000. Today, the unemployment rate has increased to 5.7 percent. There are presently 8.1 million unemployed Americans, an increase of 2.5 million compared to 2000\n\n2. The number of Americans experiencing long-term unemployment-over 27 weeks-has almost doubled in the last year.\n\n3. Job creation has reversed. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the economy created 1.7 million new jobs. This trend has been reversed, and the economy has lost almost 1.5 million jobs since President Bush took office in January 2001.\n\n4. Poverty is increasing. After decreasing for eight straight years and reaching its lowest level in 25 years, the poverty rate increased from 11.3 percent in 2000 to 11.7 percent in 2001. In the first year of the Bush administration, 1.3 million Americans slipped back into poverty, with a total of 32.9 million Americans living in poverty in 2001.\n\n5. Incomes are falling. After increasing every year since 1991, and reaching an all time high in 2000, median household income in the United States fell 2.2 percent in 2001. Median incomes fell for households in every income group in the country except for those earning over $150,000.\n\n6. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are filing for bankruptcy. Almost 800,000 Americans filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2002. In the second quarter of 2002, over 400,000 bankruptcies were filed in the United States, an all-time record.\n\n7. Mortgage foreclosures are at record highs. In the second quarter of 2002, 1.23 percent of home loans were in the foreclosure process, a record level. Over this same time period, almost 5 percent of mortgage loans were delinquent, up almost 20 percent from the average delinquency rate in 2000.\n\n8. The federal budget deficit is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, showed a surplus of $86.6 billion. The most recent figures from the Congressional Budget Office indicate that for FY 2002, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, will show a deficit of $314 billion.\n\n9. This represents the largest budget decline in U.S. history, and it is the third-largest on-budget deficit in history, exceeded in size only by the deficits of 1991 and 1992 under the first President Bush. Health Care Indicators\n\n10.The number of Americans without health insurance is increasing. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of uninsured Americans fell by 600,000.\n\n11. But this trend has reversed itself and in 2001 the number of uninsured Americans increased by 1.4 million.\n\n12. Over 41 million Americans — 14.6 percent of the population — had no health insurance coverage in 2001.\n\n13. The percentage of small businesses offering insurance to their employees fell by 10 percent between 2000 and 2002.\n\n14. Insurance costs increased by 12.7 percent in 2002, the second consecutive year of double-digit increases and the largest annual increase in costs since 1990.\n\n15. Prescription drug prices increased by almost twice the rate of inflation in 2001.\n\n16. For seniors, who use the most prescription drugs, cost increases were even higher. The cost of the 50 most popular drugs for seniors increased by 7.8 percent in 2001, over three times the rate of inflation. The price of Prilosec, the most popular drug for seniors, increased at over four times the rate of inflation.\n\nCrime and Drug Use Indicators\n\n17.The crime rate is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the crime rate reached its lowest level since 1972. This represented the culmination of a 22 percent decrease in crime during the 1990s.\n\n18. But in 2001, the crime rate increased by 2.2 percent. The murder rate increased by 3.1 percent, the robbery rate increased by 3.9 percent, and the rate of property crimes increa

To my Jewish friends: what are the reasons you reject Yahushua (Jesus) as Messiah?

Please give well-reasoned answers based on the Torah, Prophets, and Writings. I am not looking for reasons based on emotion or tradition. Also, please, unless you are Jewish, don't answer this question. I am trying to understand this from a Jewish perspective.

3)You wrote, "Our difference is in the interpretation of the data." If the 'data' states specifically, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sin,' how do you interpret that statement to allow for Jesus dying for our sins? It seems to me that your interpretation of Isaiah must be incorrect, or that 'every man shall be put to death for his own sin,' does not mean what it says, or Gd changed His mind somewhere between Deut.24:16 and Isaiah 53.....???\n\n1)You say 'no mortal man can atone,' so who actually did the dying on the cross? Gd cant die, so it was Jesus-the-mortal-man, and so all you have is a human sacrifice, which Gd calls an abomination and something He hates, in Deut 12:30-31!\n\nFOR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT ISAIAH 53, see the BEST ANSWER AT:::\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AqACR_rSjfAqZek.PZv_OM0jzKIX?qid=1005123006794\n\nFOR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT LEV. 17:11, see the web sites i refer you to below.\n\n2)And Jesus being your prophet priest and king, i refer you to what i wrote below, all the theology of Christianity still flies in the face of what Gd already revealed to us through his Bible. Even a Jesus/prophet/priest/king still has not brought about those things the real messiah will do!\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\n Ezekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \n souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \n also the soul of the son is mine: the soul \n that sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \n that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \n bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \n the father bear the iniquity of the son: the \n righteousness of the righteous shall be upon \n him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \n upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \n his sins that he hath committed, and keep all \n my statutes, and do that which is lawful and \n right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \n All his transgressions that he hath committed, \n the

does the bible prove the existence of God?

i've seen a lot of answers from christians citing that bible itself as proof of the existence of god. how is that so? the name of the author of each book is written in the bible and so the bible is not written by god. how can this be seen as proof? to assume that god dictated every word written in the bible is not bound by fact, but by faith. can you prove otherwise? thanx for your responses

The Holy Scriptures were originally written in Hebrew and Greek, of which physical manuscripts actually exist. I cannot remember where they are located, but some texts are located in museums.\n\nTo preserve the text of the Holy Scriptures, exact copies were carefully penned by hand from the orginals (manuscript [manual script - written by hand]) - symbol by symbol (the individuals who copied them dared not alter anything; if "one" symbol was wrong, the whole manuscript was discarded).\n\nThe Bible is from the Greek word "biblios" - or books; written over a period of 1,500 years by over 40 different men. Archeologists actually look at the Bible as a historical document, and use it as a reference; because it is a record "of living history" that reveals the names and locations of people who actually lived thousands of years ago.\n\nIf you research the subject of "Bible Archeology" you will discover that the "physical evidence" of things that are referenced in the Bible actually existed. This reinforces the accuracy of what is written.\n\nNow any historical document has to be taken on "faith" - even books and newspapers written 200 years ago. They were written by people who lived in the past and are accepted as something that is true; the Bible is no different.\n\nWhat makes the scriptures "holy" is not men, but God. In that the "holy scriptures" were "God-breathed" or inspired by God.\n\nhttp://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/2Pe/2Pe001.html#21\n\n2 Peter 1:\n\n16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.\n\nThe Apostle Peter wrote a letter about an event he witnessed himself, where he actually heard God "literally" speak.\n\nhttp://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Mat/Mat017.html#5\n\nMatthew 17:\n\n1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. \n\nNotice that Christ took three disciples with Him.

(repost) Pictures/statutes as a focus for meditation, inspiration?

For all to answer, but please LEAVE all forms of proselytizing out. To clarify: I am not talking about a belief or idolatry at all. I am reposting cuz I felt people didn't understand me first time. Apologies!\n\nDo looking at pictures/statutes of favored deities help sharpen your focus on an issue that is bothering you, even if some of you may not believe in the existence of this deity? (yes in my case)\n\nDo looking at pictures-statutes of a deity bring peace, inspiration, meditation? (Yes for me)\n\nIf a agnostic or atheist, do you equate looking at pictures of deities as a "belief" in that deity? (I don't in my case)\n\nOr do you feel that looking at pictures-statutes can be a powerful way to meditate? (Yes in my case)\n\nMy favorites are: Virgin Mary, Kali Ma, Ganesha, and Ares (plus a few others). Each brings a certain type of peace, inspiration or sharper focus for me, even if I may not believe in their existence at all.

"Do looking at pictures/statutes of favored deities help sharpen your focus on an issue that is bothering you, even if some of you may not believe in the existence of this deity?"\n\nYes, when I look at an image of my Ishta Devata (personal image/name of the Divine) that alone can sometimes calm me and help me focus my mind on the Divine itself and start to consider how to resolve the issue. Sometimes it is just calming to know that I have a place I can go to in peace, look at the image on the altar, and know that this space is sacred in my home and is the window by which I can talk to the Divine (not that I have to go their to pray, but there are times when trying to resolve a problem and you are at home that going to this space, seeing the image, it helps you).\n\n"Do looking at pictures-statutes of a deity bring peace, inspiration, meditation?"\n\nDepends on the image I suppose. Most Hindu murtis (the picture or stature) they have lots of meaning in them. Hinduism teaches that there is only the One (Brahman) and that we can use whatever images, names, etc to call upon the One. Meditation is the technique of learning to focus your mind on a single point. Focusing your mind on an image, a sound (like a name), etc are all forms of meditation. Inspiration can come through all the meanings within the images. Peace can come, not through the image directly, but how we use this tool.\n\n"If a agnostic or atheist, do you equate looking at pictures of deities as a "belief" in that deity?"\n\nI'm not agnostic or atheist, but there are some Hindus who would, in western categorization, be considered "atheist" in a sense based upon that philosophical school's beliefs. Overall, Hindus constantly emphasize that the images, names, etc are mere representations of the many aspects of the One and that we use the names and images to help us, if necessary, worship and focus our mind on the One. Thus, Hindus fully admit to the fact that there is no elephant headed god in the sky, but that in fact it represents Brahman, the One and that their worship is really directed to that. They are like electrical outlets that allow us to plug-in to the One...which hinduism equates as being pure-consciousness. \n\n"Or do you feel that looking at pictures-statutes can be a powerful way to meditate?"\n\nYes, it is a very simple form of meditation (the same with using sound like Aum or just repeating the name..if one does not have an image). Both are considered very powerful forms of meditation, not only in HInduism, but also in Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Buddhism, and many other religions where meditation is a central practice.\n\n\nMy Ishta Devata (personal form/name of the Divine) is Ganesh. Some of my other favorites are Lakshmi, Sarasvati, Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna, Rama and Sita, Hanuman, Narasimha, Garuda, Gayatri, Ayyappa, Murugan, Surya, Apollo, Antinous, Mary, Jesus, Mata Bharat (Mother India), Ganga, Isis, Thoth, Horus, Anubis, and Ahura Mazda.
