| I can't fall asleep? | Here is some pointers:\nAdapted from http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/the_nonexpert/how_to_fall_asleep.php\n\nGrab Your Socks \n\nI was about 13, still awake at 3 a.m. with my knees throbbing from an odd muscle disease I developed in my teens, when my mom suggested I try wearing socks to bed. I put on some tube socks, pulling them way up to my knees, and because the feeling was so bizarre, I fell asleep a few minutes later. \n\nUnfortunately, a few weeks after that, when I was dressing in tall striped socks before bed every night, the effect wore off, and I was a weirdo.\n\n\nCount\n\nA tried-and-true method, counting is my first response when I realize I’m not falling asleep any time soon. Currently I like to count from one to 1,000, picturing the numerals behind my eyes, each as large and bright as a highway billboard, until I nod off. If I catch myself skipping numbers, I have to start over again. Doesn’t 1,000 seem like a very far-away number? One that’s almost impossible to reach?\n\nAmateur insomniac or not, I’m still an overachiever. I always reach 1,000—or, 1,000 highway billboards—and end up even more awake, staring at the ceiling, wishing I could afford that new Audi.\n\n\nScotch & Henry James\n\nAlcohol is a depressant, and so is Henry James. Scotch at four in the morning is a perfect remedy, but I happen to really like scotch, so it’s tough for me to enjoy a glass and want to fall asleep right after—why sleep when someone, somewhere in New York City, is out partying? So match your liquor with the one author everyone recommends even after you’ve informed them you find said author snorable, overrated, just cotton-penned bad.

Absolutely no late nig | 1,068 | I can't fall asleep?Here is some pointers:\nAdapted from http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/the_nonexpert/how_to_fall_asleep.php\n\nGrab Your Socks \n\nI was about 13, still awake at 3 a.m. with my knees throbbing from an odd muscle disease I developed in my teens, when my mom suggested I try wearing socks to bed. I put on some tube socks, pulling them way up to my knees, and because the feeling was so bizarre, I fell asleep a few minutes later. \n\nUnfortunately, a few weeks after that, when I was dressing in tall striped socks before bed every night, the effect wore off, and I was a weirdo.\n\n\nCount\n\nA tried-and-true method, counting is my first response when I realize I’m not falling asleep any time soon. Currently I like to count from one to 1,000, picturing the numerals behind my eyes, each as large and bright as a highway billboard, until I nod off. If I catch myself skipping numbers, I have to start over again. Doesn’t 1,000 seem like a very far-away number? One that’s almost impossible to reach?\n\nAmateur insomniac or not, I’m still an overachiever. I always reach 1,000—or, 1,000 highway billboards—and end up even more awake, staring at the ceiling, wishing I could afford that new Audi.\n\n\nScotch & Henry James\n\nAlcohol is a depressant, and so is Henry James. Scotch at four in the morning is a perfect remedy, but I happen to really like scotch, so it’s tough for me to enjoy a glass and want to fall asleep right after—why sleep when someone, somewhere in New York City, is out partying? So match your liquor with the one author everyone recommends even after you’ve informed them you find said author snorable, overrated, just cotton-penned bad. Fifteen minutes later, you’re deep in a self-satisfied coma.\n\n\nHypnosis\n\nI haven’t tried hypnosis, but I’m sure it works—don’t you know a dozen people from college who went on to lucrative careers in hypnosis?\n\n\nLists\n\nLists are like counting: able to induce sleep, but more likely to arouse the same taxed mind that’s keeping you awake in the first place.

| Has anyone with endometriosis had a good experience with Lupron? | I have had two laparoscopies in the past three years and I'm having pain again. The doctor suggested this instead since I don't want to get pregnant right now. Any input would be great! Thanks. | Lupron is a horrendous drug. The manufacturer reports the following possible side effects, including but certainly not limited to:\n\nAsthenia, General pain, Headache, Hot flashes/sweats, Nausea/vomiting, GI disturbances, Edema, Weight gain/loss, Acne, Hirsutism, Joint disorder, Myalgia, Decreased libido, Depression/emotional lability, Dizziness, Nervousness, Neuromuscular disorders, Paresthesias, Skin reactions at injection site, Breast changes/tenderness/pain, Vaginitis, Flu-like symptoms, Heart palpitations, Syncope, Tachycardia, Appetite changes, Dry mouth, Thirst, Ecchymosis, Lymphadenopathy, Anxiety, Insomnia/Sleep disorders, Delusions, Memory disorder, Personality disorders, Rhinitis, Alopecia, Hair disorder, Nail disorder, Conjunctivitis, Ophthalmologic disorders, Taste perversion, and Dysuria.\n\nTypically, users of Lupron also experience what is known as Clinical Flare, which is an exacerbation of side effects and symptoms during the first 2 injections or so. Addback therapy, much touted by prescribing physicians, does little to mitigate these effects.\n\nIt is unfortunate that all the patients suffering the long-term negative effects of this drug are disbelieved by others, including the medical industry. The PR and marketing monster known as Takeda Abbott Pharmaceuticals (the drug's maker) spends billions of dollars advertising and marketing this drug every year, as well as providing enticing incentives to docs to Rx it to their patients (this is a FACT; TAP paid a record $875million fine for just that about 4 years ago). So it's hard for the patient who is suffering from long-term negative effects to be heard.\n\nThat "EndoKnow" site and the "Lupron1" website and all others of a similar nature, which masquerade as helpful communication tools on how to talk to your doc and effectively treat your disease are little more than thinly disguised direct-to-consumer marketing tools paid for by TAP, which take your private contact info and disseminate them to the manufacturer. Beware also editorial materials bought and paid for by TAP, such as those featured through the Endo Association. One has to ask, if it's paid for, what slant does it have to give?? Look for unbiased materials.\n\nMost docs don't look past the one tiny study put out by PAID ADVISORS to the Lupron manufacturer that indicates Lupron is a "safe, cost-effective" way of treating Endo. I see nothing safe or cost-effective about inducing significantly negative, long lasting side effects in women who are already suffering with an insidious disease.

Thanks and though we disagree, I wish peace upon you and your family. | Here is a rational argument for the Iraq war:\n\n1) We couldn't monitor Saddam Hussein perpetually. At some point, our attention is going to get distracted, and he would have reconstituted his weapons programs. Look what happened with North Korea. If we're not watching these devious little countries every moment, they can do great harm.\n\n2) WMD's: you may disagree with this, but I firmly believe Saddam, with the help of the Russians, removed his WMDs to Syria. Read the link below. It is quite a compelling argument.\n\n3) Saddam was getting around the Oil For Food program restrictions by bribing the governments of France, Russia, and Germany. Sanctions were supposed to force him to comply with the 17 UN Resolutions. However, he could have continued indefinitely under this arrangement. He was literally buying the "no war" vote from these countries.\n\n4) Saddam was a threat to his own people, and his neighbors. Every week, the Iraqi military was shooting at our planes patrolling the No Fly Zone, which kept the Kurds safe.\n\n5) Saddam's links to terrorism? How about the fact he was giving $25,000 to the families of suicide bombers? Or the fact that Al-Zarkawi was in an Iraqi hospital, a guest of the government?\n\n6) We can't make the UN act responsibly, but we had a duty to keep the institution from becoming totally irrelevant.

It's like when a parent tells a child to go to bed, but the child knows he can just stall indefinitely. If the UN isn't taken seriously, it might as well disband.\n\n7) Economic reasons for intervention: Saddam Hussein and his family were using as Iraq like their own private piggy bank. He was stealing the Iraqi people blind. The economy of Iraq would never support the population and raise people up from poverty because Saddam and his evil clan were taking it all themselves.\n\n8) Moral reasons for intervention: Saddam was a brutal dictator.

Would You Know For Sure, Without A Doubt, That You Would Go Heaven? \n\nMay I tell you my story?\n\nMy story relates to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.\n\nWho is this Jesus?\n\nWe can know how to have eternal life!\n1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, [even] unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God. \n\nThere was a time in my life when I was confused, because of all the different churches out there. Which one do I believe, because they all teach different things?\n\nJust because I was raised by my parents to believe certain things does that make everyone else wrong? No.\nI got to thinking in life there are life and death statements.\nFor instance let's say your house catches on fire. Someone comes up in the middle of the night and raps on the window and shouts "get out of the house, the house is on fire." Well you know you wouldn't need an interpreter or call a few friends over and ask them what it means when someone says your house is on fire. No you wouldn't do that it is so clear what you should do. You understand you simply have to act on it and get out of the house. Well I got to thinking the Bible talks about there being an everlasting punishment. I believe this is Gods word. I thought God must have some life and death statements. Like get out of the house the house is on fire. Does God have some statements like believe this and you will live do this and you will die? He does. \n\nThen, what has been written? \n\nJohn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.\n\nWell I know what that means. Unless I believe that Jesus is who he says he is I will die in my sins.\n\nIsn't this a life and death statement?\n\nThen who is this Jesus? \n\nLet's go exploring. \n\nMatthew 16:13-17 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? 14 And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. \n\nWhose son is he? "God's son"\nIn other words Jesus says you are right.\n\nWell you know I got to thinking what does it mean to believe he is the son of God? So I kept reading.\n\nIs he being the son of God all we must believe concerning His identity? \n\nJohn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\n\nAnd I kept reading. \n\nJust being the son of God...Is God. Notice here: \nJohn 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. \n\nWell here Jesus is claiming to be the son of God and God at the same time. \n\nAll Jesus is saying is that he is the same as his parents. Jesus mother was human and father was God. That makes him 100% human and 100% God.\n\nIs that important that Jesus is a 100% God and man? Remember John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.\n\nWhen Jesus came to earth, did he leave his Godhead in Heaven? \n\nColossians 2:9 for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, \nNotice that Jesus is 100% man and 100% God. \n\nHere God the Father calls his own son God.\n\nHebrews 1:1, 8 God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, \n8 but of the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptr | 1,073 | Why Jesus?Why do people worship him?

| in what cases someone will be refused to be given a us fiancee visa? | im from asia and im plannin to leave via fiancee visa, no morons pls | here is the most important part, the rest is below\n\n"What If the Applicant Is Ineligible for a Visa?\n\nCertain conditions and activities may make you, the applicant, ineligible for a visa. Examples of these ineligibilities are:\n\nDrug trafficking \nHaving HIV/AIDS \nOverstaying a previous visa \nPracticing polygamy \nAdvocating the overthrow of the government \nSubmitting fraudulent documents \nThe consular officer will inform you if you are ineligible for a visa, whether there is a waiver of the ineligibility and what the waiver procedure is. See Classes of Aliens Ineligible to Receive Visas for more information. "\n\n\n\n\n\n"Fiancé(e) Visa (K-1)\n\nWhat Is a “Fiancé(e)”?\n\nA fiancé(e) is a person who is engaged or contracted to be married. The marriage must be legally possible according to laws of the state in the United States where the marriage will take place. \n\nIn general, the two people must have met in person within the past two years. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants some exceptions to this requirement. For example, it may be contrary in some traditions for a man and woman to meet before marriage. \n\nSometimes the USCIS considers a person a "fiancé(e)" even though a marriage contract has been concluded. In such cases, the American citizen petitioner and his/her spouse have not met, and they have not consummated the marriage. \n\nHow Does a Fiancé(e) Visa Work?\n\nSuppose you are an American citizen and you want your foreign fiancé(e) to travel to the United States to marry you and live in the U.S. You must file, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) in the United States. \n\nFiling the Petition\n\nYou must file the Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), Form I-129F with the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office that serves the area where you live. See the Department of Homeland Security's USCIS Field Offices for information on where you can file the petition. Note: You cannot file this petition at an embassy, consulate or U.S. immigration office abroad. \n\nAfter the USCIS approves the petition, it sends the petition to National Visa Center for processing, prior to being sent the embassy or consulate where your fiancé(e) will apply for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa for a fiancé(e). \n\nExtending the Petition\n\nThe I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval from USCIS. Consular officers can extend the validity of the petition (revalidate the petition) if it expires before the processing of the visa application is completed. \n\nA Fiancé(e) Is Also an Immigrant\n\nBecause a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry an American citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa. \n\nApplying for a Visa\n\nThe consular section at the embassy or consulate where you, the fiancé(e) of an American citizen, will apply for a visa tells you of any additional specific requirements, such as where you need to go for the required medical examination. The following is required: \n\nA passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the United States. \nBirth certificate \nDivorce or death certificate of any previous spouse for both the applicant and the petitioner \nPolice certificate from all places lived since age 16 \nMedical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below) \nEvidence of financial support (Form I-134, Affidavit of Support may be requested.) \nTwo Nonimmigrant Visa Applications, Form DS-156 (A Form DS-156, prepared in duplicate.) \nOne Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application, Form DS-156K \nTwo nonimmigrant visa photos (each two inches 50 X 50 mm square, showing full face, against a light background) \nEvidence of a fiancé relationship \nPayme | 1,031 | in what cases someone will be refused to be given a us fiancee visa?im from asia and im plannin to leave via fiancee visa, no morons plshere is the most important part, the rest is below\n\n"What If the Applicant Is Ineligible for a Visa?\n\nCertain conditions and activities may make you, the applicant, ineligible for a visa. Examples of these ineligibilities are:\n\nDrug trafficking \nHaving HIV/AIDS \nOverstaying a previous visa \nPracticing polygamy \nAdvocating the overthrow of the government \nSubmitting fraudulent documents \nThe consular officer will inform you if you are ineligible for a visa, whether there is a waiver of the ineligibility and what the waiver procedure is.

"\n\n\n\n\n\n"Fiancé(e) Visa (K-1)\n\nWhat Is a “Fiancé(e)”?\n\nA fiancé(e) is a person who is engaged or contracted to be married. The marriage must be legally possible according to laws of the state in the United States where the marriage will take place. \n\nIn general, the two people must have met in person within the past two years. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants some exceptions to this requirement. For example, it may be contrary in some traditions for a man and woman to meet before marriage. \n\nSometimes the USCIS considers a person a "fiancé(e)" even though a marriage contract has been concluded. In such cases, the American citizen petitioner and his/her spouse have not met, and they have not consummated the marriage. \n\nHow Does a Fiancé(e) Visa Work?\n\nSuppose you are an American citizen and you want your foreign fiancé(e) to travel to the United States to marry you and live in the U.S. You must file, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) in the United States. \n\nFiling the Petition\n\nYou must file the Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), Form I-129F with the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office that serves the area where you live. See the Department of Homeland Security's USCIS Field Offices for information on where you can file the petition. Note: You cannot file this petition at an embassy, consulate or U.S. immigration office abroad. \n\nAfter the USCIS approves the petition, it sends the petition to National Visa Center for processing, prior to being sent the embassy or consulate where your fiancé(e) will apply for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa for a fiancé(e). \n\nExtending the Petition\n\nThe I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval from USCIS. Consular officers can extend the validity of the petition (revalidate the petition) if it expires before the processing of the visa application is completed. \n\nA Fiancé(e) Is Also an Immigrant\n\nBecause a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry an American citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa. \n\nApplying for a Visa\n\nThe consular section at the embassy or consulate where you, the fiancé(e) of an American citizen, will apply for a visa tells you of any additional specific requirements, such as where you need to go for the required medical examination. The following is required: \n\nA passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the United States. \nBirth certificate \nDivorce or death certificate of any previous spouse for both the applicant and the petitioner \nPolice certificate from all places lived since age 16 \nMedical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below) \nEvidence of financial support (Form I-134, Affidavit of Support may be requested.) \nTwo Nonimmigrant Visa Applications, Form DS-156 (A Form DS-156, prepared in duplicate.) \nOne Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application, Form DS-156K \nTwo nonimmigrant visa photos (each two inches 50 X 50 mm square, showing full face, against a light background) \nEvidence of a fiancé relationship \nPayme | Politics & Government |

| i have a problem its about ezcema? | i have ezcema and i tryed aveeno and it seemed to work but not anymore and its getting worse.i have two perscritions that dont work.and my dr.that i went today to said dont use any soap,or cleaners,well then how do i wahe my hands which i might add are sore as hell.and all cracked and bleeding.how do i wash my hair.help any ideas.this seems to be getting worst not any better HELP1111\n\n kathy | I am an atopic dermatitis(eczema) patient.I've had eczema for 40+ years so I have a lot of experience in this matter.There is no cure for eczema;you have to be patient and let it ride its course.My worst flare up lasted for 4 years and I was under a doctor's care,and using prescription medicines the whole time.My flare up was on my hands,too. Here is what you need to do:\n\nDonot use soap,ever.Use Cetaphil lotion cleanser and Cetaphil bar cleanser for the bath/shower.My doctor advised me against frequent hand washing.Cetaphil's lotion cleanser lets you clean your hands with out water.Water is a drying irritant to atopic skin."Atopic" is the medical term for a certain type of eczema,an eczema that just happens because the skin is sensitive.\nJust follow the directions on the bottle. Put the cleanser on your hands,rub,lather up and wipe off with a soft paper towel or cotton towel and repeat.You can use the Cetaphil with water,too.After washing or cleaing the hands,you apply your medication(more about medication later).Then you use Cetaphil's cream moisturizer.Use the cream frequently during the day.The goal is to keep the skin moist.Cetaphil also makes a facial moisturizer.\n\nNow about shampooing. Shampoo is a soap,dear.Soaps are dangerous to atopic skin;drying and cracking happens because soaps dry out the skin.I used gloves whenever I washed my hair.You also need to change your shampoo to Nizoral, Denorex Tar-based,or Neutragena Tar-based shampoos if your scalp gets really dry.Otherwise,a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner is just fine.Since the rash is now off my hands and I don;t use the gloves,I have to use the Cetaphil cream moisturizer right after I wash my hair.It's a rule,whenever your hands get wet,you have to replace the moisture that the water took out by puting on the Cetaphil cream.\n\nAveeno preparations that are helpful are the bath preparations made with colloidal oatmeal;the bath powder and the bath/shower oil along with the Cetaphil bar cleanser are what I use in the shower/bath.\n\nMedicines that I used were Lidex and hydrocortisone cream.I was lucky to have a dermatologist who was also head of a medical university dermatological teaching college. He developed a moisturizing hydrocortisone cream that is now available over-the counter;it's Cortaid with moisturizers.I also out of desperation tried prednisone;the steroid works for as long as you take it and there are side effects so you cannot take it for a long time.As soon as one stops taking the cpurse of steroids,the rash comes back...and one is left to deal with the side effects...a person is more prone to bleeding disorders because cortisone thins the blood.So,don't try Prednisone unless your whole body is affected by the rash. Two new prescriptions not to try are Elidel and Protopic;they are currently being investigated for being a cause of increased skin cancer risk.I tried Protopic;it burned my skin and I didn't use it and went back to hydrocortisone cream.I'm glad I did.\n\nYou will also need to take an antihistamine.Eczema and allergies go hand in hand.\n\nDO NOT USE THESE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS:\n\nVasolene,or any greasy preparation unless it's been prescribed to you by your doctor.\n\nScented products.Look for unscented products for laundry detergent,fabric softener,underarm anitperspirants... things that touch your skin shouldn't be iiritating and added scents are irritants.\n\nAvoid over- the- counter salves and lotions that contain benzocaine and antihistamines.\n\nStay away from products that contains Alpha-hydroxy acids,sugar acids,acids of any kind,unless your doctor is using it as part of your therapy.You can end up doing serious damage to your skin!!\n\nStay away from lanolin.It causes allergies,plugs up oil glands, and just makes eczema worse.\nOTHER HINTS\nDon't do dishes and other wet-work if you can avoid it.If you can't avoid it you need two types of gloves:rubber glove | 1,143 | i have a problem its about ezcema?i have ezcema and i tryed aveeno and it seemed to work but not anymore and its getting worse.i have two perscritions that dont work.and my dr.that i went today to said dont use any soap,or cleaners,well then how do i wahe my hands which i might add are sore as hell.and all cracked and bleeding.how do i wash my hair.help any ideas.this seems to be getting worst not any better HELP1111\n\n kathyI am an atopic dermatitis(eczema) patient.I've had eczema for 40+ years so I have a lot of experience in this matter.There is no cure for eczema;you have to be patient and let it ride its course.My worst flare up lasted for 4 years and I was under a doctor's care,and using prescription medicines the whole time.My flare up was on my hands,too.

| Burton Snowboards and which one to choose...? | I've been snowboarding for about 5 years now, and I still dont have a snowboard of my own. the snowboards that i have been renting have been from brands all over the spectrum: sims, santa cruz and a lot more. i requested the Burton 2006 catalog and received it in the mail. as i was looking through it, i saw one that i liked (Burton Feelgood), but did not understand any of the stats. \n\ni would like to find a snowboard that is sturdy but still gives a little, and would be able to go down the mountain or through the terrain park (including jumps, the pipe, rails, etc). \n\nwhat things should i consider when i go shopping for a board, and if you have any suggestions please tell me. thanks! :) | Burton boards are great, I've been riding for 20 years and have ridden about everything out there and I have been very impressed with Burton gear. I'm sure you will see a ton of people here bad mouthing them but when it comes down to it, you just can't go wrong with them. \n\nWhen buying a new board you should always ask yourself a few questions, like: How good am I? How much do I ride? Where do I ride? What kind of rider am I? What conditions do I ride in most? The most common stats of a snowboard are it's length, tip width, waist width, tail width, contact length, sidecut and flex.\n\nLength is a personal preference. A shorter board is usually a little easier to manuver but not as stable at higher speeds and a longer board is more stable but a little more difficult to manuver. Most park riders like short boards and freeriders like longer boards. \n\nThe width of a board is important in that you don't want your toes or heels hanging over the edges of your board. Also, it is just as important that your board isn't too wide as this makes it harder to turn (I've actually torn the arch of my foot riding a too wide board, ouch!). \n\nSidecut is how much the sides of the board are cut in. If you use your imagination when looking at a board you can see that the "cut" of the board draws out the path of a circle. The more cut, the smaller the circle and the less cut the bigger the circle. Some boards have progressive sidecuts but I won't get into that, it isn't important. Again, park and pipe riders generally like a board with a bit more cut as they need the added manuverabilty to hit the features in the terrain parks more smoothly. A board with a lot of cut can feel a little twitchy (I call it nervous) at higher speeds and they get hooky in deep snow. A freeride board will have less cut as it is more often ridden at higher speeds with bigger turns. \n\nNow we come to flex. Here is where people differ the most in their opinions. When I sell boards, this is how I explain it. When you are riding you are "telling" your board what to do to carve. For the most part, a softer board is easier to ride as you don't have to be as exact when you are "telling" it what to do. Soft boards offer a very comfortable ride and great performance at slower speeds. Jibbers love them bcause they are less likely to hang up on a rail with a soft board. However, at higher speeds or in more aggressive situations a soft board will get bounced around more and not be as responsive. Now, a stiffer board needs exact instructions for you to get the most out of it. They aren't as comfortable to ride because they transmit more of what is going on to you instead of absorbing it for you. But, they perform very well, especially at higher speeds. Also, the stability of a stiffer board offers a great deal of forgiveness when you land in the back seat or too far forward because the stiffness wants to keep you centered on the board.\n\nThe Burton Feelgood is a great, women's specific board. It has been consistently my best seller for the past three years. Looking at the '07 stats, it is definately an intermediate to advanced board and it rates highest in groomers, halfpipe and park. It's flex is just above medium as is its sidecut. So, after what I said above you can imagine that it rates lowest for powder and rails (too much cut to be a great powder board and too stiff to be a great jibber). All in all, I'd say it's a great board for all conditions, If you wanted something stiffer, go with the Feelgood ES, something more park/jib get the Gtwin and if you wanted a more powder specific the slightly tapered Feather would be awesome.\n\nHope that helped...also, when buying go to a snowboard shop not a big box store. The folks at the snowboard shop will have a much better idea what they are talking about than the dude at Big 5. | 1,082 | Burton Snowboards and which one to choose...?I've been snowboarding for about 5 years now, and I still dont have a snowboard of my own. the snowboards that i have been renting have been from brands all over the spectrum: sims, santa cruz and a lot more. i requested the Burton 2006 catalog and received it in the mail. as i was looking through it, i saw one that i liked (Burton Feelgood), but did not understand any of the stats. \n\ni would like to find a snowboard that is sturdy but still gives a little, and would be able to go down the mountain or through the terrain park (including jumps, the pipe, rails, etc). \n\nwhat things should i consider when i go shopping for a board, and if you have any suggestions please tell me. thanks! :)Burton boards are great, I've been riding for 20 years and have ridden about everything out there and I have been very impressed with Burton gear.

| I do not know how to kiss. I have never been taught. Is there a proper way to kiss a women. (with tongue)? | When It comes time for me to kiss a women all I do is stick my tongue in her mouth and wiggle it around, however when I see others kiss it looks so much more intimate. They suck lips and do so much more than I. Is there a correct method to kissing. Please help me I need need it. I once had a women kiss me so good I almost melted. I want to have that same affect on women when I kiss them. | i like biting.... it's funny.... HAHA \nidk it's hard to explain how ... i don't think there is a "correct" way just experiment and try new methods \nThe best type of kiss is one that uses different variations... \nsuch as starting with a small kiss, working into a French Kiss, maybe sucking on your partner's upper or lower lip... \n\n \nAnd don't just leave kisses to the lips. \nKiss their cheeks, their chin or their eyelids. \nThis can be very seductive and romantic. \n\n\nGreat Breath - This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath. \n\n If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have something in your mouth when you kiss.\n\nMoist Lips - You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey.\n \n\n And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more pleasant experience.\n\n \n\n Positioning - Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction.\n \n\n \nClose Eyes - Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes. \n\n\n Open Lips - Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners.\n \n\n \n\n\nClosed Lips - This is like the type of kiss you'd give your grandma or aunt. Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet, keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nFrench Kissing\n\nThis is the most popular type of kiss. This involves touching your tongue with your partner's and it can be quite a pleasant experience.

Is there a proper way to kiss a women. (with tongue)?When It comes time for me to kiss a women all I do is stick my tongue in her mouth and wiggle it around, however when I see others kiss it looks so much more intimate. They suck lips and do so much more than I. Is there a correct method to kissing. Please help me I need need it. I once had a women kiss me so good I almost melted. I want to have that same affect on women when I kiss them.i like biting.... it's funny.... HAHA \nidk it's hard to explain how ... i don't think there is a "correct" way just experiment and try new methods \nThe best type of kiss is one that uses different variations... \nsuch as starting with a small kiss, working into a French Kiss, maybe sucking on your partner's upper or lower lip... \n\n \nAnd don't just leave kisses to the lips. \nKiss their cheeks, their chin or their eyelids. \nThis can be very seductive and romantic. \n\n\nGreat Breath - This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath. \n\n If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have something in your mouth when you kiss.\n\nMoist Lips - You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey.\n \n\n And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more pleasant experience.\n\n \n\n Positioning - Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction.\n \n\n \nClose Eyes - Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes. \n\n\n Open Lips - Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners.\n \n\n \n\n\nClosed Lips - This is like the type of kiss you'd give your grandma or aunt. Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet, keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nFrench Kissing\n\nThis is the most popular type of kiss. This involves touching your tongue with your partner's and it can be quite a pleasant experience. There are a few tips to create a great french kiss. \n\n\n Open Lips - Open your lips over your partner's slightly more than you would during a regular kiss.

Thank you!\n\n\nI would like as many people as possible to answer this question, no matter if someone else already answered something that you know about as well. There are many different versions! | Here is what I found on Egyptian mythology\nGods\nEarly beliefs can be split into 5 distinct localized groups,\n\nthe Ennead of Heliopolis, whose chief god was Atum \nthe Ogdoad of Hermopolis, where the chief god was Ra \nthe Chnum-Satet-Anuket triad of Elephantine, where the chief god was Chnum \nthe Amun-Mut-Chons triad of Thebes, where the chief god was Amun \nthe Ptah-Sekhmet-Nefertem triad of Memphis, unusual in that the gods were unconnected before the triad was formalized, where the chief god was Ptah \nThroughout the vast and complex history of Egypt, the dominant beliefs of the ancient Egyptians merged and mutated as leaders of different groups gained power. This process continued even after the end of the Egyptian civilization as we know it today. As an example, during the New Kingdom Ra and Amun became Amun-Ra. This "merging" into a single god is typically referred to as syncretism. Syncretism should be distinguished from mere groupings, also referred to as "families" such as Amun, Mut and Khonsu, where no "merging" takes place. Over time, deities took part in multiple syncretic relationships, for instance, the combination of Ra and Horus into Ra-Herakty. However, even when taking part in such a syncretic relationship, the original deities did not become completely "absorbed" into the combined deity, although the individuality of the one was often greatly weakened. Also, these syncretic relationships sometimes involved more than just two deities, for instance, Ptah, Seker and Osiris, becoming Ptah-Seker-Osiris. The goddesses followed a similar pattern. Also important to keep in mind is that sometimes the attributes of one deity got closely associated with another, without any "formal" syncretism taking place. For instance, the loose association of Hathor with Isis.\n\nAn interesting aspect of ancient Egyptian religion is that deities sometimes played different conflicting roles. As an example, the lioness Sekhmet being sent out by Ra to devour the humans for having rebelled against him, but later on becoming a fierce protectress of the kingdom, life in general and the sick. Even more complex is the roles of Set. Judging the mythology of Set from a modern perspective, especially the mythology surrounding Set's relationship with Osiris, it is easy to cast Set as the arch villain and source of evil. This is wrong, however, as Set was earlier playing the role of destroyer of Apep, in the service of Ra on his barge, and thus serving to uphold Ma'at (Truth, Justice and Harmony).\n\nGiven the diverse tapestry of religious history in ancient Egypt, it comes as no surprise that many different forms of theism evolved. Although mainly henotheistic in nature, at some point even monotheism, as introduced by Akhenaten thrived. What is important to realize is that it is very dangerous to try and cast the religion of the ancient Egyptians in any particular theistic form. Even more dangerous to claim is that, towards the end of the Egyptian civilization, a drive toward monotheism was taking place. The evidence of the time (Greaco-Roman period) seems counter to this belief: although syncretism was still taking place (sometimes and more frequently between Egyptian and non-Egyptian deities), many deities were still revered and served. As an example the following which Thoth enjoyed during these later periods. This is quite evident when one simply looks at the vast number of mummified Ibis birds offered to him. Also, the belief in Egyptian deities were spreading to countries other than Egypt.

| Can anyone help me understand how to do these calculus questions? | 1. Can anyone explain Leibniz notation when finding a derivative?\n2. How do you find vertical and horizontal asymptotes?\n3. How do you find the second derivative?\n4. What are and how do you use the 1st and 2nd derivative test?\nIn this question:\ns(t)=t + t^-1, i found that the critical points are -1, 0, and 1. Are these right? How do you use those to figure out if it has a max/min or neither?What are points of inflection and how do you find them? What does it mean to be concave down/up? And how do you find the equation of a vertical/horizontal asymptote? PLease help! I have an exam and I don't understand this chapter at all! | 2. Vertical Asymptotes\nUsually these are found at points of discontinuity, such as division by zero or square root of a negative number. Probably the easiest way to find vertical asymptotes is find out where the function is undefined, such as dividing by zero or square root of a negative number.\nFor example f(x)= 1/(x-1) has a vertical asymptote at x= +1\n\nHorizontal Asymptotes\nUsually you find these as you make the x approach infinity or -infinity when you make the function into a limit\nfor example if f(x) were (3x^2+ 2x + 1) / (2x^2 + 3x), just find the limit. In this case dividing by the highest power of x (x^2 for this function)\n\n 3x^2 + 2x + 1 3\n lim ----------------- = --- \n x-> inf 2x^2 +3x 2\n\nThus this function has a horizontal asymptote at 3/2\n\n3. The second derivative is just taking the derivative again\nFor example\nf(x) = 3x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x\nf'(x) = 9x^2 + 6x + 4 <-- first derivative\nf''(x) = 18x +6 <-- second derivative\n\nThe third derivative would be just taking the derivative again and so on...\n\n4. The first derivative test is used to test whether a function is increasing of decreasing\nThe second derivative test is used to test the concavity of the function\n\nUsing your example of s(t) = t + t^(-1)\nthis is just s(t) = t + (1/ t)\n\nthis function is undefined for t = 0 (division by zero), so there is a vertical asymptote at t = 0\n\nto find horizontal asymptotes, find the function as t -> infinity and as t-> -infinity\n\nlim t-> infininty = (inf) + (1/ inf) = inf + 0 = inf\nso there is no limit in the postive infinity direction\n\nlim t -> -infinity = (-inf) + 1/ -inf) = -inf + 0 = -inf\nso tehre is no limit in the negative infinity direction\n\nThus there are no horizontal asymptotes\n-----------------------\nOn to critical points. We need to find the first derivative:\n\ns(t) = t + t^(-1) <---- s(t) = t + (1/ t)\ns'(t) = 1 + (-1)t^-2 <----- s'(t) = 1 - t^(-2) <---- s'(t) = 1 - (1/ t^2)\n\nCritical points are where s'(t) is equal to zero or s'(t) is undefined. So we have:\n1- (1/ t^2) = 0\nt= 1 or t= -1\n\nt=0 would make s'(t) undefined\n\nCritical points -> t= -1, 0, +1\nThese points represent where the slope of the function is equal to zero. Thus at these points the function could be going from an increasing positive slope to a decreasing negative slope or vice versa.

| In the US and UK, what is the (estimated) proportion of muslim women wearing chador or burqa ? | In France, more and more muslim women wear chador. I'd like to know if the situation is the same in other countries and what is other people's reaction on it (are they indifferent or hostile ?). Thanks | Hello...I'm a Muslim woman living in England..and I will try to give you an answer..\n\n\nIt depends on your definition of Chador and Burqa...\n\nLet me explain what a hijab is first.. It meaning covering..and to protect our modesty.\nIn Islam for women this means that we most wear lose clothes that do not show our curves, and covers all our body except our hands and faces,\nThis is interpreted in many ways in many different countries..and chador and burqa are just one of them.....\n\nA chador is large cloak...that covers the whole body except for the face (and hands). It is originally from Iran..and is named after the Farsi word for tent(because that is really what it is) And is only culturally common in Iran. There is a modified version with arms..that is worn in some countries such as Iraq as well.\nChadors are mostly black...though they are highly coloured ones worn by some traditional groups such as the Bandari. \nPray chadors..worn when making pray are patterned mostly in dark colours..I have one in navy blue with white flowers. \nThere is a fashion now in Iran to have the chador in a pattern..There are still black but with an embroidered type of material. And some young girls wear opaque chador :-)))\n\nThe burqa covers all the body including the face. A common image would be the blue burqas typically worn in Afghanistan..\nThough amore common type of clothing ..that covers the same areas.. would be a niqab..where a separate piece of material covers the face. This is traditional in the gulf states and Saudi Arabia. Also I know in some areas in Pakistan they do that as well.\n\n\n\nOK..back to your question...\n\nI would think that there are very very very few women in the west who wear chador. I have not seen one!! This clothe is traditional only to Iran..and is difficult to wear and manage. You really need to grow up wearing one to be able to control it well.\nMost Iranian women who live in the west do not wear any type of hijab..(or a very small one), and women from other cultures would not wear it because it is very hard to wear. It is also very strange on the streets of London..or New York rather than Tehran.\nI had a friend from Iran who visited Belgium as a tourist who wore a chador for her first day..but then took it off because it was so unusual!!\n\n\nAs for the niqab (it is more common style than burqa) there are a few women that wear it. (and the number is increasing) I would say about 1-3% of Muslim women in the west do, depending where you live. Most of the women who actually wear it are converts to Islam rather than born Muslim. OF the 4 friends I know who wear it 3 are converts.\nIn cities in the UK.. You can see women wearing Niqab in parts of Birmingham, and in areas such as Whitechapel in London. \nYou will also see women from the gulf states wearing Niqab..in central London department stores such as Selfrigdes and Harrods.\nIn Britain most of the women who wear niqab are White British converts (With a few Black British as well..but they tend not to cover their face) and a few Muslims of Pakistani or Bangladeshi origin as well wearing niqab. There are women from the gulf states who wear it but..there are mostly in London (and tourists) Britain does not have a large population from gulf countries,\nIn the USA..again most who wear niqab are converts. There are more Gulf State Arabs in the USA..and some women in places like Dearborn Michigan also wear niqab. But note that most women from most Arab countries such as Egypt do not wear niqab...\n\n\nAs for other types of hijab..I think it is quite common. There are many women who wear western type clothes with a headscarf, or a jilbab(outer coat) and head scarf.\nI would take a guess in the UK at about 40% of Muslim women wear hijab depending on the area.\nAnd it is now getting more popular with young women wanting to practice their religion more.

| Boyfriend considering joining the Air Force! Questions, questions, questions!? | How long will he be gone for basic training? Will I be able to spend time with him after that, or will he go straight into the service? I always hear about significant others spending an awful lot of time apart, but how long would that be exactly? Or just an approximation, based on personal knowledge, if you can help.\n\nWould it make things easier to be together if we were married beforehand? \n\nWould he have to live on base for the 4 (?) years he would be required to serve? If yes, would I be able to live with him as his girlfriend, or would we have to be married? What about benefits? Would I get any as his wife? \n\nI just want him to serve and be happy and enjoy himself, as it's always been a dream of his, but I figure I might as well get as much information as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated! | Hi there, as a former AF type of 8 years I think I can answer this pretty easily. We'll take the questions in order.\n\nBasic training length? With travelling, waiting for the class to arrive or the like, you can expect the time of going to the MEPS station and completing AF Basic to be approximately 2 months long.\n\nWill you be able to spend time with him after that? That all depends on you, him, and the training school he gets arranged to go to after Basic. You can go and see him graduate from Basic, and spend the day with him, but that would be about it for being in Texas. Typically, to assure a smooth transition, new airmen get travel orders directly from Basic to their tech school. This tech school can be another 2 months long if it's small, or as long as mine, of a year and change for cryptolinguist studies. You can figure on an average of 3-6 months for tech school though.\n\nSpending time apart? It happens. I was in the military for 8 years, and of that I spent about 3 and a half years of that overseas. Typically, unless you're deployed to a war zone like the Middle East is right now, an overseas deployment is no more than 1 year long in duration. Either way, the biggest thing that both you and he need to realize here is this... once he signs on the dotted line his life is leased out to Unka Sam.. he goes where they say, when they say it, and for how long they want him to be there. Maybe half that time it will be for stuff that you're not allowed to go, or that if you chose to go the finances for it would be strictly on the two of you. Speaking as someone that faced that, trust me, unless one of you has some excessive funds stored up already, trailing after him is a very tiring and expensive endeavor. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just difficult for young people to accomplish according to the AF's rules.\n\nWould it be easier to be married before-hand? Yes and no. You would have legal right to be with him in locations that allow family members to be with their spouse. However as an E1-E2 airman, he would be at the bottom of the list for getting on-base housing. You can get a housing allowance to live off base, but depending on what state you're in, it rarely will cover what you need. When I lived off base in California I had to come up with about 55% of my housing costs out of my own pocket, which hurt the finances, a lot. So, if you truly wanted to be there with him and have legal right to get covered in the housing clause and such, getting married before-hand can allow for such. However...I don't know any personal background here.. but time has proven in the past that giving time for him to accustom himself to AF life first is best if you want him to get all that he can out of the career choice. You can't be with him during Basic. You can't be with him during tech school. Usually leave is granted after the tech school and he reports to his first duty station, and if the hunger and desire to be wed is even stronger then than it is now... that has been the best time for friends I have known to actually get married. So many that did the deed before they went into Basic came out from the schools... different... and so much time apart.. it was awkward.. and ended badly. Like I said though. I don't know your circumstances... but if it was me.. I'd wait.. it's the smarter route to go in today's tumultous times.\n\nWould he have to live on base? As a young airman? yes. He could only live off-base with special permission, or if there was NO available dorms on the base that he'll be stationed at. As a single airman, it takes 2+ years before you have enough time to get the permission. As a married couple you are placed on a shorter list if no on-base housing is available.. but still... it takes time. My friend in NJ had his wife living 35 minutes away in a crummy apartment for nearly 3 years before they could get the permission for him to be allowed to | 1,111 | Boyfriend considering joining the Air Force! Questions, questions, questions!?How long will he be gone for basic training? Will I be able to spend time with him after that, or will he go straight into the service? I always hear about significant others spending an awful lot of time apart, but how long would that be exactly? Or just an approximation, based on personal knowledge, if you can help.\n\nWould it make things easier to be together if we were married beforehand? \n\nWould he have to live on base for the 4 (?) years he would be required to serve? If yes, would I be able to live with him as his girlfriend, or would we have to be married? What about benefits? Would I get any as his wife? \n\nI just want him to serve and be happy and enjoy himself, as it's always been a dream of his, but I figure I might as well get as much information as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!Hi there, as a former AF type of 8 years I think I can answer this pretty easily. We'll take the questions in order.\n\nBasic training length? With travelling, waiting for the class to arrive or the like, you can expect the time of going to the MEPS station and completing AF Basic to be approximately 2 months long.\n\nWill you be able to spend time with him after that? That all depends on you, him, and the training school he gets arranged to go to after Basic. You can go and see him graduate from Basic, and spend the day with him, but that would be about it for being in Texas. Typically, to assure a smooth transition, new airmen get travel orders directly from Basic to their tech school. This tech school can be another 2 months long if it's small, or as long as mine, of a year and change for cryptolinguist studies. You can figure on an average of 3-6 months for tech school though.\n\nSpending time apart? It happens. I was in the military for 8 years, and of that I spent about 3 and a half years of that overseas. Typically, unless you're deployed to a war zone like the Middle East is right now, an overseas deployment is no more than 1 year long in duration. Either way, the biggest thing that both you and he need to realize here is this... once he signs on the dotted line his life is leased out to Unka Sam.. he goes where they say, when they say it, and for how long they want him to be there. Maybe half that time it will be for stuff that you're not allowed to go, or that if you chose to go the finances for it would be strictly on the two of you. Speaking as someone that faced that, trust me, unless one of you has some excessive funds stored up already, trailing after him is a very tiring and expensive endeavor. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just difficult for young people to accomplish according to the AF's rules.\n\nWould it be easier to be married before-hand? Yes and no. You would have legal right to be with him in locations that allow family members to be with their spouse. However as an E1-E2 airman, he would be at the bottom of the list for getting on-base housing. You can get a housing allowance to live off base, but depending on what state you're in, it rarely will cover what you need. When I lived off base in California I had to come up with about 55% of my housing costs out of my own pocket, which hurt the finances, a lot. So, if you truly wanted to be there with him and have legal right to get covered in the housing clause and such, getting married before-hand can allow for such. However...I don't know any personal background here.. but time has proven in the past that giving time for him to accustom himself to AF life first is best if you want him to get all that he can out of the career choice. You can't be with him during Basic. You can't be with him during tech school. Usually leave is granted after the tech school and he reports to his first duty station, and if the hunger and desire to be wed is even stronger then than it is now... that has been the best time for friends I have known to actually get married. So many that did the deed before they went into Basic came out from the schools... different... and so much time apart.. it was awkward.. and ended badly. Like I said though. I don't know your circumstances... but if it was me.. I'd wait.. it's the smarter route to go in today's tumultous times.\n\nWould he have to live on base? As a young airman? yes. He could only live off-base with special permission, or if there was NO available dorms on the base that he'll be stationed at. As a single airman, it takes 2+ years before you have enough time to get the permission. As a married couple you are placed on a shorter list if no on-base housing is available.. but still... it takes time.

| Will you follow these rules? Pooping @ work 101! Hilarious!!? | Pooping @ work 101\n\nWe have all been there but do not like to admit it. We have all kicked\nback at our desks or cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down\nthere. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is\ninevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, following is the survival\nguide for taking a dump at work:\n\nCROP DUSTING - When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the\nsmell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know\nwhere it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the\nfull fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell\nhas left your pants.\n\nFLY BY - The act of scouting out a bathroom befor e pooping. Walk in and\ncheck for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and\ncome back again. Be careful not to become a frequent fly by. People may\nbecome suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.\n\nESCAPEE - A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or\nforcing a poop in the stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave\nof embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it.\nPretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable\nfor all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel\nuneasy.\n\nJAILBREAK - When forcing a poop, several farts slip out like a machine gun.\nThis is usually the side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should\nhappen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the\nbathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.\n\nCOURTESY FLUSH - The act of flushi n g the toilet the instant the poop hits\nthe water. This reduces the amount of airtime the poop has to stink up the\nbathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.\n\nWALK OF SHAME - Walking from the stall, to the sink, then to the door after\nyou have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be very a very uncomfortable\nmoment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to\npretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the\nCOURTESY FLUSH.\n\nOUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER (O.O.T.C.P.) - A colleague who poops at work and\nis damn proud of it.

This group can help\nyo u monitor the whereabouts of O.O.T.C.P.'s, and identify SAFE HAVENS.\n\nSAFE HAVENS - A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you\ncan least expect visitors.

| Why do Catholics believe Mary remained a virgin? What could it possibly matter? This has always mistified me? | The Bible talks about Jesus having siblings. Why do Catholics seem to prefer to say that those verses mean something else? | Mary is Ever Virgin\nExodus 13:2,12 - Jesus is sometimes referred to as the "first-born" son of Mary. But "first-born" is a common Jewish expression meaning the first child to open the womb. It has nothing to do the mother having future children.\n\nExodus 34:20 - under the Mosaic law, the "first-born" son had to be sanctified. "First-born" status does not require a "second" born.\n\nEzek. 44:2 - Ezekiel prophesies that no man shall pass through the gate by which the Lord entered the world. This is a prophecy of Mary's perpetual virginity. Mary remained a virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus.\n\nMark 6:3 - Jesus was always referred to as "the" son of Mary, not "a" son of Mary. Also "brothers" could have theoretically been Joseph's children from a former marriage that was dissolved by death. However, it is most likely, perhaps most certainly, that Joseph was a virgin, just as were Jesus and Mary. As such, they embodied the true Holy Family, fully consecrated to God.\n\nLuke 1:31,34 - the angel tells Mary that you "will" conceive (using the future tense). Mary responds by saying, "How shall this be?" Mary's response demonstrates that she had taken a vow of lifelong virginity by having no intention to have relations with a man. If Mary did not take such a vow of lifelong virginity, her question would make no sense at all (for we can assume she knew how a child is conceived). She was a consecrated Temple virgin as was an acceptable custom of the times. \n\nLuke 2:41-51 - in searching for Jesus and finding Him in the temple, there is never any mention of other siblings. \n\nJohn 7:3-4; Mark 3:21 - we see that younger "brothers" were advising Jesus. But this would have been extremely disrespectful for devout Jews if these were Jesus' biological brothers. \n\nJohn 19:26-27 - it would have been unthinkable for Jesus to commit the care of his mother to a friend if he had brothers.\n\nJohn 19:25 - the following verses prove that James and Joseph are Jesus' cousins and not his brothers: Mary the wife of Clopas is the sister of the Virgin Mary. \n\nMatt. 27:61, 28:1 - Matthew even refers to Mary the wife of Clopas as "the other Mary."\n\nMatt. 27:56; Mark 15:47 - Mary the wife of Clopas is the mother of James and Joseph.\n\nMark 6:3 - James and Joseph are called the "brothers" of Jesus. So James and Joseph are Jesus' cousins.\n\nMatt. 10:3 - James is also called the son of "Alpheus." This does not disprove that James is the son of Clopas. The name Alpheus may be Aramaic for Clopas, or James took a Greek name like Saul (Paul), or Mary remarried a man named Alpheus.\n\n\nJesus' "Brothers" (adelphoi)) = Cousins or Kinsmen\nLuke 1:36 - Elizabeth is Mary's kinswoman. Some Bibles translate kinswoman as "cousin," but this is an improper translation because in Hebrew and Aramaic, there is no word for "cousin." \n\nLuke 22:32 - Jesus tells Peter to strengthen his "brethren." In this case, we clearly see Jesus using "brethren" to refer to the other apostles, not his biological brothers.\n\nActs 1:12-15 - the gathering of Jesus' "brothers" amounts to about 120.

| Osama Bin Laden and Emmanuel Goldstein- how far can the comparisons be drawn? | Osama and Goldstein\nby William L.

| Let N= abc....wxyz be a positive integer (base 10). Find the smaller N such that the number zabc...wxy = 1.5*N | The number of figures (abc...xyz) of N should be more than 1 and could be less than 10. I am looking for an answer reached through algebra. | N = 285714 and 1.5*N = 428571\n\nHere's the analysis:\n\nLet's assume that it's an n digit number with digits x_1, x_2, ... x_n. Then\n N = Sum{i=1..n}(10^(n-i)*x_i)\nand the number you get by moving the last digit to the front will be:\n 10^(n-1)*x_n + Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\nWhat you are asking for is:\n 1.5*Sum{i=1..n}(10^(n-i)*x_i) \n = 10^(n-1)*x_n + Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\nor:\n 1.5*x_n + 1.5*Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i)*x_i) \n = 10^(n-1)*x_n + Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\nor by transposing to the other side:\n 1.5*Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i)*x_i) - Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 10^(n-1)*x_n - 1.5*x_n\nor: \n Sum{i=1..n-1}(1.5*10^(n-i)*x_i) - Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = (10^(n-1)-1.5)*x_n\nor:\n Sum{i=1..n-1}(15*10^(n-i-1)*x_i) - Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = (10^(n-1)-1.5)*x_n\nor:\n Sum{i=1..n-1}(14*10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = (10^(n-1)-1.5)*x_n\nor:\n 14 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = (10^(n-1)-1.5)*x_n\n\nNow the left hand side is a positive integer and on the right hand side 10^(n-1)-1.5 will be a fraction ending in 0.5. So x_n has to be an even digit to make (10^(n-1)-1.5)*x_n a positive integer. \n\nNow, if x_n were 2 or 6, multiplying it with something-point-five will give you an odd number. But the left hand side is an even number (because you are multiplying by 14). So x_n cannot be 2 or 6. That leaves 4 and 8 as the two possible choices for x_n i.e., the number N has to end in either 4 or 8.\n\nIf x_n is 4, then we are looking for:\n 14 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = (10^(n-1)-1.5)*4\nor:\n 14 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 4*10^(n-1)-6\nor: \n 7 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 2*10^(n-1)-3\nor:\n 7 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 2*10^(n-1)-3+10-10\nor:\n 7 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 2*10^(n-1)-10+7\nor:\n 7 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 20*10^(n-2)-10 + 7\nor:\n 7 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 10*(2*10^(n-2)-1) + 7\nor:\n Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = 10/7*(2*10^(n-2)-1) + 1\n\nAgain, the left hand side is a positive integer. The right hand side can be a positive integer only if 2*10^(n-2)-1 is a multiple of 7. \n\nFor values of n, 2*10^(n-2)-1 is 1(n=2), 19(n=3), 199(n=4), 1999(n=5), 19999(n=6), etc. n=6 is the first number in this series (19999) that's a multiple of 7. Putting n=6, we get:\n Sum{i=1..5}(10^(5-i)*x_i)\n = 10/7*(2*10^(6-2)-1) + 1 = 28571\ni.e., a five digit number = 28571.\n\nThat gives us our first answer: N = 285714 and 1.5N = 428571.\n\nNow I have only done the analysis so far for x_n being 4. If you do similar analysis for x_n=8, you get\n 14 * Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = (10^(n-1)-1.5)*x_n\n = (10^(n-1)-1.5)*8\n = 8*10^(n-1)-12\n = 8*10^(n-1)+2-14\nor:\n Sum{i=1..n-1}(10^(n-i-1)*x_i)\n = (4*10^(n-1)+1)/7 - 1\n\ni.e., 4*10^(n-1)+1 has to be a multiple of 7. For various values of n, 4*10^(n-1)+1 gievs you numbers like 41, 401, 4001, 40001, etc. and the first number in this series that's a multiple of 7 is 400001 for n=6. So we end up with:\n\n Sum{i=1..5}(10^(5-i)*x_i)\n = (4*10^(6-1)+1)/7 - 1 = 57142.\n \nThat gives us our second answer: N = 571428 and 1.5N = 857142.\n\nWhile this is also correct, the first number is smaller. So the smallest number that satisfies your constraint is 285714. | 1,708 | Let N= abc....wxyz be a positive integer (base 10).

| is the sun biger than the stars? | The best way to compare other stars to the sun is to talk in terms of\n\nTheir size: how many solar diameters are they?\nTheir mass: how many solar masses are they?\nTheir brightness: how does their luminosity compare to the sun = 1?\n\nMorgan-Keenan spectral classification\nThis stellar classification is the most commonly used. The common classes are normally listed from hottest to coldest (with mass, radius and luminosity compared to the Sun) and are: \n\nClass Temperature Star colour Mass Radius Luminosity \nO 30,000 - 60,000 K Bluish ("blue") 60 15 1,400,000 \nB 10,000 - 30,000 K Bluish-white ("blue-white") 18 7 20,000 \nA 7,500 - 10,000 K White with bluish tinge ("white") 3.2 2.5 80 \nF 6,000 - 7,500 K White ("yellow-white") 1.7 1.3 6 \nG 5,000 - 6,000 K Light yellow ("yellow") 1.1 1.1 1.2 \nK 3,500 - 5,000 K Light orange ("orange") 0.8 0.9 0.4 \nM 2,000 - 3,500 K Reddish orange ("red") 0.3 0.4 0.04 \n\nThese classes are further subdivided by Arabic numerals (0-9). A0 denotes the hottest stars in the A class and A9 denotes the coolest ones. The sun is classified as G2.\n\nSpectral types\n\nClass O\nClass O stars are very hot and very luminous, being bluish in colour; in fact, most of their output is in the ultraviolet range. These are the rarest of all main sequence stars, constituting as few as 1 in 32,000. O-stars shine with a power over a million times our Sun's output. \n\nExamples: Zeta Puppis, Epsilon Orionis \n\nClass B\nClass B stars are extremely luminous and blue. As O and B stars are so powerful, they live for a very short time. They constitute about 0.13% of main sequence stars -- rare, but much more common than those of class O.(\n\nExamples: Rigel, Spica \n\nClass A\nClass A stars are amongst the more common naked eye stars. As with all class A stars, they are white or bluish-white. They comprise perhaps 0.63% of all main sequence stars.\n\nExamples: Vega, Sirius \n\nClass F\nClass F stars are still quite powerful but they tend to be main sequence stars. Their colour is white with a slight tinge of yellow. These represent 3.1% of all main sequence stars.\n\nExamples: Canopus, Procyon \n\nClass G\nClass G stars are probably the best known, if only for the reason that our Sun is of this class. Supergiant stars often swing between O or B (blue) and K or M (red). While they do this, they do not stay for long in the G classification as this is an extremely unstable place for a supergiant to be. These are about 8% of all main sequence stars. \n\nExamples: Sun, Capella \n\nClass K\nClass K are orangish stars which are slightly cooler than our Sun. Some K stars are giants and supergiants, such as Arcturus while others like Alpha Centauri B are main sequence stars. These make up some 13% of main sequence stars.\n\nExamples: Arcturus, Aldebaran \n\nClass M\nClass M is by far the most common class if we go by the number of stars. All the red dwarfs go in here and they are plentiful; over 78% of stars are red dwarfs, such as Proxima Centauri. M is also host to most giants and some supergiants such as Antares and Betelgeuse, as well as Mira variables. \n\nThe red color is deceptive; it is because of the dimness of the star. When an equally hot object, a halogen lamp (3000 K) which is white hot is put at a few kilometers distance, it appears like a red star.\n\nExamples: Betelgeuse, Barnard's star \n\nSpectral types for rare stars\nA number of new spectral types have been taken into use for rare types of stars, as they have been discovered:\n\nW: Up to 70,000 K - Wolf-Rayet stars. \nL: 1,500 - 2,000 K - Stars with masses insufficient to run the regular hydrogen fusion process (brown dwarfs). Class L stars contain lithium which is rapidly destroyed in hotter stars. \nT: 1,000 K - Cooler brown dwarfs with methane in the spectrum. \nC: Carbon stars. \nR: Formerly a class on its own representing the carbon star equivalent of Class K stars, e.g. S C | 1,114 | is the sun biger than the stars?The best way to compare other stars to the sun is to talk in terms of\n\nTheir size: how many solar diameters are they?\nTheir mass: how many solar masses are they?\nTheir brightness: how does their luminosity compare to the sun = 1?\n\nMorgan-Keenan spectral classification\nThis stellar classification is the most commonly used.

Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?\n(Student is silent.)\nProf: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella.

Tell me son, is there evil in this world?\nStudent :Yes.\nProf: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?\nStudent : Yes.\nProf: So who created evil?\n(Student does not answer.)\nProf: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?\nStudent :Yes, sir.\nProf: So, who created them?\n(Student has no answer.)\nProf: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?\nStudent : No, sir.\nProf: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?\n\nStudent : No, sir.\nProf: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelled your God?

What do you say to that, son? \n\nStudent : Nothing. I only have my faith.\nProf: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.\nStudent : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?\nProf: Yes.\nStudent : And is there such a thing as cold?\nProf: Yes.\nStudent : No sir.

But we don't have \nanything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

What is night if there isn't darkness?\nStudent : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing liight.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you? \nProf: So what is the point you are making, young man?\nStudent : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.\nProf: Flawed?

You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.

She looks at the camera with\nsunken eyes, smiling, acting beautiful. Her dress is Versace, or Gucci, or Dior, and it is\nrevealing, revealing every bone and joint in her thin, thin body. She looks fragile and\nbeautiful, as if I could snap her in two. I look at her and feel the soft cushion of flesh that\nsurrounds my own joints, my own shoulders and hips that are broad, my own ribs\nsurrounded by skin and muscle and fat. I am not nearly as fragile or graceful or thin. I\nlook away and wonder what kind of self-discipline it takes to become beautiful like the\nmodel in my magazine.\nBy age seventeen a young woman has seen an average of 250,000 ads featuring a\nseverely underweight woman whose body type is, for the most part, unattainable by any\nmeans, including extreme ones such as anorexia, bulimia, and drug use, according to\nAllison LaVoie (par. 4). The media promote clothing, cigarettes, fragrances, and even\nfood with images like these. In a culture that has become increasingly visual, the images\nput out for public consumption feature women that are a smaller size than ever before. In\n1950, the White Rock Mineral Water girl was 5’4” tall and weighed 140 pounds; now she\nis 5’10” tall and weighs only 110 pounds, signifying the growing deviation between the\nweight of models and that of the normal female population (Pipher 184).\nSource: Andrea A. Lunsford (Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2004)\n1\nPage 2\nPfeifer\nThis media phenomenon has had a major effect on the female population as a\nwhole, both young and old. Five to ten million women in America today suffer from an\neating disorder related to poor self-image, and yet advertisements continue to prey on\ninsecurities fueled by a woman’s desire to be thin. Current estimates reveal that 80\npercent of women are dissatisfied with their appearance and 45 percent of those are on a\ndiet on any given day (“Statistics”). Yet even the most stringent dieting will generally\nfail to create the paper-thin body so valued in the media, and continuing efforts to do so\ncan lead to serious psychological problems such as depression.\nWhile many young women express dissatisfaction with their bodies, they are not\nthe only victims of the emaciated images so frequently presented to them. Young girls\nare equally affected by these images, if not more so. Eighty percent of girls under age ten\nhave already been on a diet and expressed the desire to be thinner and more beautiful\n(Slim Hopes). Thus from a young age, beauty is equated with a specific size. The\nmessage girls get is an insidious one: in order to be your best self, you should wear size 0\nor 1. The pressure only grows more intense as girls grow up. According to results from\nthe Kaiser Family Foundation Survey “Reflections of Girls in the Media,” 16 percent of\nten- to seventeen-year-old girls reported that they had dieted or exercised to look like a\nTV character. Yet two-thirds of teenage girls acknowledged that these thin characters\nwere not an accurate reflection of “real life” (qtd. in Dittrich, “Children” pars. 2-3).\nIt is tragic to see so much of the American population obsessed with weight and\nreaching an ideal that is, for the most part, ultimately unattainable.

| I'm not saying that illegal immigration is right, but sometimes can't you see why they do it? | I agree that illegal immigration is WRONG. I agree that a wall or something should be put up between the borders to help with the problem. However, on SOME occasions, I think that I would have done the same thing if I were them. Think about it, if your mom, dad, sibling, grandparent, or spouse was deathly ill and you couldn't raise enough money for the needed surgury, would you not do all that you could to save your loved one's life? I know I would. I know that this is not so in ALL cases, but in many it is. If my mom was suffering a heart attack at her house and I was informed, I would drive as fast as I could to go to be at her side and try to save her life, regardless of the speed limit and stop signs. I love my mother and will do anything for her. Many Americans (including myself) have become accustomed to and spoiled by the availability of health care. We are fortunate to have come from a "wealthy" nation. I thank God for that. But, I feel for those who are not so fortunate. | Less fortunate? Look they come here and give so called "cheap labor", which by the way is $10-12 tax free (I don't call that cheap), then they send all that money back to Mexico where the exchange rate benifits them so they live like Kings over their shambled surroundings. What pisses me off the most is not that they came here and jumped to the front of the line of all those waiting poor and hungry to get in legally, and not that they don't pay a dime in taxes, and not that they feed off the well-fare system, and not that some of them refuse to learn English, and not that they bring their crime rate with them, but what pisses me off terribly is that they come here and demand things from OUR government like we owe them ANYTHING, and they use our humanity against us, saying we stole land from them? I'm not racist, and I'm not Anti-immigration. I'm anti-illegal immigration, and they shot themselves in the foot with the way they acted recently.\n\nContrary to belief of those who don't work construction or landscaping, Americans CAN BE hard workers. In fact I lost a tooth because two "cheap" laborers wouldn't do the work and I was working right along side of them, told them if they don't keep up with me they don't get paid. So they fought me and even though I lost a tooth, I sent one of those little F***ers running like a little girl. We do work hard and America would not be where it is today were it not for hard working citizens. If Americans are so lazy, then why is it that America is an economical giant and Mexico is still a primitive almost 3rd world country with lazy idiots that kick back and drink all day(ok that was a stereotype, sorry I probably just ruined my credibility)?\n\nAnyway don't say Amercians are spoiled. You might be spoiled, but most of us are not.\n\nHere is a better analogy: If your company was struggling to pay your paycheck, do you think you could run to another company and get them to give you full benefits and a nice paycheck without filling out an application? Hell no you wouldn't. And as for the less fortunate, if you really want to help them, go down to your local soup kitchen and cook dinner for the guys. They'll really appreciate it. Take care of people at home first, and when no American is sleeping in the cold, then we can start looking at helping foreigners.\n\nHere's something else-- Do you want another crowd of people to die senselessly a bloody and painful death? If not I would suggest you support border control, because at anytime, one of those terrorists could come in unbeknownst to the nation by hopping the border.\n\n\n\n\nI think we've beat this issue death. None of us are listening to the opposite arguement, and it's not going anywhere. I don't know where you got the idea that there are just as many Americans working tax free. Have you ever driven by a parking lot with a bunch of Americans sitting there waiting to get work? I don't thinks so. You can't possibly live anywhere near one of the large cities where immigration is a problem. If you did you wouldn't be saying things like that, because they're just not true. I live right here in the heart of it. I live in a neighborhood, and I think that me, my next door neighbor, and one Mexican family down the street are the only legal households in the entire neighborhood. When we have problems out here, they will beg not to call the police, because they don't have papers. That means they don't work on a social security number or they wouldn't be worried about it. You don't need a social security number. The majority of them just get picked up, paid cash and dropped off. And most of them will tell you life is good back home in Mexico. I gotta give it to them for live in such tight quarters for a year at a time-\n\nAmerica has come way too far to say we're lazy, dishonest, and government dependant. That's not true at all. | 1,139 | I'm not saying that illegal immigration is right, but sometimes can't you see why they do it?I agree that illegal immigration is WRONG. I agree that a wall or something should be put up between the borders to help with the problem. However, on SOME occasions, I think that I would have done the same thing if I were them. Think about it, if your mom, dad, sibling, grandparent, or spouse was deathly ill and you couldn't raise enough money for the needed surgury, would you not do all that you could to save your loved one's life? I know I would. I know that this is not so in ALL cases, but in many it is. If my mom was suffering a heart attack at her house and I was informed, I would drive as fast as I could to go to be at her side and try to save her life, regardless of the speed limit and stop signs. I love my mother and will do anything for her. Many Americans (including myself) have become accustomed to and spoiled by the availability of health care. We are fortunate to have come from a "wealthy" nation. I thank God for that. But, I feel for those who are not so fortunate.Less fortunate? Look they come here and give so called "cheap labor", which by the way is $10-12 tax free (I don't call that cheap), then they send all that money back to Mexico where the exchange rate benifits them so they live like Kings over their shambled surroundings. What pisses me off the most is not that they came here and jumped to the front of the line of all those waiting poor and hungry to get in legally, and not that they don't pay a dime in taxes, and not that they feed off the well-fare system, and not that some of them refuse to learn English, and not that they bring their crime rate with them, but what pisses me off terribly is that they come here and demand things from OUR government like we owe them ANYTHING, and they use our humanity against us, saying we stole land from them? I'm not racist, and I'm not Anti-immigration. I'm anti-illegal immigration, and they shot themselves in the foot with the way they acted recently.\n\nContrary to belief of those who don't work construction or landscaping, Americans CAN BE hard workers. In fact I lost a tooth because two "cheap" laborers wouldn't do the work and I was working right along side of them, told them if they don't keep up with me they don't get paid. So they fought me and even though I lost a tooth, I sent one of those little F***ers running like a little girl. We do work hard and America would not be where it is today were it not for hard working citizens. If Americans are so lazy, then why is it that America is an economical giant and Mexico is still a primitive almost 3rd world country with lazy idiots that kick back and drink all day(ok that was a stereotype, sorry I probably just ruined my credibility)?\n\nAnyway don't say Amercians are spoiled. You might be spoiled, but most of us are not.\n\nHere is a better analogy: If your company was struggling to pay your paycheck, do you think you could run to another company and get them to give you full benefits and a nice paycheck without filling out an application? Hell no you wouldn't. And as for the less fortunate, if you really want to help them, go down to your local soup kitchen and cook dinner for the guys. They'll really appreciate it. Take care of people at home first, and when no American is sleeping in the cold, then we can start looking at helping foreigners.\n\nHere's something else-- Do you want another crowd of people to die senselessly a bloody and painful death? If not I would suggest you support border control, because at anytime, one of those terrorists could come in unbeknownst to the nation by hopping the border.\n\n\n\n\nI think we've beat this issue death. None of us are listening to the opposite arguement, and it's not going anywhere. I don't know where you got the idea that there are just as many Americans working tax free. Have you ever driven by a parking lot with a bunch of Americans sitting there waiting to get work? I don't thinks so. You can't possibly live anywhere near one of the large cities where immigration is a problem. If you did you wouldn't be saying things like that, because they're just not true. I live right here in the heart of it. I live in a neighborhood, and I think that me, my next door neighbor, and one Mexican family down the street are the only legal households in the entire neighborhood. When we have problems out here, they will beg not to call the police, because they don't have papers. That means they don't work on a social security number or they wouldn't be worried about it.

All I get is a box with an X in it. What are some other things I need to have or do to make it show up? | SYMPTOMS\nWhen you open a Web page, one or more pictures (graphics or images) may not be displayed. Instead, a red X, or a placeholder, may appear in place of the images. \n\nCAUSE\nThis behavior can occur if one of the following conditions is true: • The Web page includes an image type that is not supported by Internet Explorer. \n• The Show Pictures check box is not selected on the Advanced tab of the Internet Options dialog box, or the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory was used to disable images in Internet Explorer. \n• The image is displayed based on a script, ActiveX control, cookie, Java applet, or HTTP referral information, and your computer or network is configured to block one or more of these features. For example, you may have Internet Explorer or Symantec Corporation's Norton Internet Security (NIS) or Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) 2002 configured to block one or more of these features. \n• Internet Explorer cannot determine the character set (also called code page or encoding) that is used by the Web page, or a file or registry key required to display the Web page with the appropriate character set may be missing or damaged. By default, Internet Explorer uses the character set that is specified in the HTTP content type that is returned by the server, the character set specified by the meta element in the Web page document, or your Encoding preference if no HTTP content type is returned by the server and no meta element is specified in the Web page document. \n\n\nRESOLUTION\nTo troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps. After each step, check to see if the issue is resolved. If the issue still occurs, continue troubleshooting with the next step: \n1. Right-click the red X or placeholder for the image, and then click Properties. Verify that the image type is supported by Internet Explorer by examining the Type or Address (URL) values in the Properties dialog box. For example, a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file will list GIF Image for Type and the Address (URL) ends with .gif. Internet Explorer displays images with an .art, .wmf, .emf, .png, .mov, .xbm, .avi, .mpg, .gif, .jpg, .mpeg, and .bmp extensions. \n2. Start Internet Explorer. \n3. If you have the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory installed, click the Toggle Images.exe link on the Links toolbar to turn on images.\n\nNote If the Links toolbar is not visible, right-click a blank area of the toolbar and verify that there is a check next to Links. If the Toggle Images.exe link is not visible on the Links toolbar, click the arrow with two angle brackets on the far right-side of the Links toolbar. \n4. Verify that Show Pictures has not been turned off in Internet Explorer: a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. \nb. Click the Advanced tab, and then verify that the Show Pictures check box is selected under Multimedia. \nc. Click OK. \n \n5. Make sure scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, and Java applets are enabled in Internet Explorer. To do so, follow these steps: a. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. \nb. Click the Security tab, and then click Default Level (if it is available) for the zone which contains the Web page (for example, Internet). \nc. If you are using Internet Explorer 6, click the Privacy tab, and then click Default (if it is available). \n \n6. If you are using a third-party Internet security, firewall, or cookie blocking program, contact the manufacturer of the program for information about how to enable scripting, ActiveX controls, cookies, Java applets, advertisements, and HTTP referral information.

Son of Luis Candido Machado, famous bahian Batuque champion and Maria Martinhs do Bomfin. \nHi got his nickname after a bet between his mother and the midwife, during her pregnacy, Mrs. Maria was convinced that she would deliver a girl, the midwife was sure that it would be a boy. At the moment of delivery, the midwife cried Bimba, the popular name given to the masculine sexual organ in Bahia.\n\nHis initiation in Capoeira took place at the Estrada das Boias, today called Liberty Quarter, in Salvador. He learned with Bentinho, an african who was captain at the Navigation Company of Bahia, who style was Capoeira Angola. For over ten years, Bimba teached Angola.

The strong excersices, rigid dicipline and ambushes in the jungle were tipical military practices.\n\nBimba opened his second academy in 1942, at the Terreiro de Jesus. Thanks to its great efficency, his teaching method would be considered to be the most practical and perfect, it crossed over frontiers and became known worldwide.

| couple questions about soccer/football...? | i have recently gotten heavly interested in this fifa world cup... but i am still wondering a couple things 1. how exactly is a person called offside 2. how long do the players have to carry a yellow card i mean after a certain numbers of matches with no other cards will it disappear? 3. i understand that if you had a yellow card in your previous game and then get one in the curretn you stay in the current but can not play the next game, but what happens when you get a single red card and get kicked out the current game...? | OFSIDE POSITION\nIt is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if:\n• he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent\nA player is not in an offside position if:\n• he is in his own half of the field of play or\n• he is level with the second last opponent or\n• he is level with the last two opponents\nIn the definition of offside position, “nearer to his opponents’ goal line” means that any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.

The color of the card depends on the severity of the foul.\nA yellow card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially cautioned.\nA red card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially send-off or expelled from the game, and must leave the field inmediatly and won't be able to play the rest of the game.\nThe referee can give as many cards as needed, the amount of card given is related to the number of offences (requiring a card) during the game.\nDuring a game a player can receive:\n1 red card the player, and the player is expell from the game and no substitute player can come in. \n1 yellow card (the player has been officially cautioned)\n2 yellows card, which is the maximum allow, and it's equivalent to 1 red card and the player has to leave the match (and that's way the referree after the second yellow shows the red card). And like a direct red card, the player can't play the next game for the team and no substitute player can come in.\nBut during the tournament the player can receive any number of cards.\n\nReceving a yellow card caution\nThere are seven different offences that can get you a yellow card:\n# Anything that can be deemed as unsporting behaviour\n# Dissent by word or action\n# Persistent infringement of the laws, for example a series of fouls\n# Delaying the restart of play\n# Not retreating the full ten yards at a free-kick or corner\n# Entering or re-entering the field without the referee's permission\n# Deliberately leaving the field without the referee's permission\n\nReceving a instant red card send-off\nThere are seven offences you can be shown a straight red card for:\n# Serious foul play.This includes a tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent.\n# Violent conduct such as throwing a punch\n# Spitting at an opponent or another person\n# A player other than the goalkeeper denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity by handling the ball\n# A goalkeeper would be similarly punished if they intentionally handle the ball outside their goal area\n# Committing an offence that denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (informally known as a professional foul)\n# Using offensive, insulting or abusive language or gestures\n\nReceiving Second Yellow card\nIf the referee shows a player a second yellow card in the game, the referee will show the second yellow card before holding up the red card, meaning that the player is sent off or expelled from the game.\n\nSuspensions (Red card)\nRule: A red card implies 1 game suspension.\nIf a player gets a red card, in the final game, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays.\n\nCarry on the cautions (Yellow card)\nThe exact punishments are determined by tournament or competition rules (not by the Laws of the Game). The cautions are accumulate for a certain phase of a the world cup tournament.\nRules:\n* A yellow card is carry over, and 2 yellow cards equal a red and a 1 game suspension.\n* A yellow card is carry on during the first and second phase of the t | 1,065 | couple questions about soccer/football...?i have recently gotten heavly interested in this fifa world cup... but i am still wondering a couple things 1. how exactly is a person called offside 2. how long do the players have to carry a yellow card i mean after a certain numbers of matches with no other cards will it disappear? 3. i understand that if you had a yellow card in your previous game and then get one in the curretn you stay in the current but can not play the next game, but what happens when you get a single red card and get kicked out the current game...?OFSIDE POSITION\nIt is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if:\n• he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent\nA player is not in an offside position if:\n• he is in his own half of the field of play or\n• he is level with the second last opponent or\n• he is level with the last two opponents\nIn the definition of offside position, “nearer to his opponents’ goal line” means that any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.

Therefore if we have an aqueous solution of caffeine in physical contact with some liquid cloroform (as in a separation funnel) then some of the caffeine will move from the water and spread into the chloroform. We can represent this kind of reaction by the following equation:\n\ncaf(aq) <--> caf(ch)\n\nThe caffeine can move back and forth between the water(aq) and the chloroform(ch). We say that the caffeine partitions between the water and the chloroform. Just like any other reaction there is an equillibrium associated with the partioning reaction, and the equillibrium constant (it is called a distribution constant or partition constant in this case) is defined in the same way as for other reactions: concentration of products over concentration of reactants. In this case the distribution constant would be given by:\n\nKd = [caf(ch)] / [caf(aq)] or rearanging [caf(aq)] * Kd = [caf(ch)].\n\nSuppose we have an initial volume of aqueous caffeine solution V(aq), and we mix it with a volume of chloroform V(ch). After we have mixed them and let them come to equillibrium. There will be a certian concentration of caffeine in the aqueous phase of [caf(aq)], and a certian concentration of caffeine in the chloroform of [caf(ch)]. \n\nThe moles of caffeine in the water can be calculated by the following:\n\nmoles caffeine in water = V(aq)[caf(aq)]\n\nThe moles of caffeine in the chloroform can be calculated in a simmilar manner:\n\nmoles caffeine in chloroform = V(ch)[caf(ch)]\n\nThe total moles of caffeine in the system will be the moles of caffeine in the water plus the moles of caffeine in the chloroform.\n\ntotal moles caffeine = V(aq)[caf(aq)] + V(ch)[caf(ch)]\n\nNow, the fraction of caffeine left in the water (fraction left = fl) is the moles of caffeine in the water at equillibrium divided by the total moles of caffeine in the system as shown below.\n\nfraction left in water at equillibrium = (moles caffeine in water) / (total moles caffeine) or in other words:\n\nfl = V(aq)[caf(aq)] / (V(aq)[caf(aq)] + V(ch)[caf(ch)])\n\nUsing the equillibrium expression we may make the following substitution in the above equation: [caf(aq)]*Kd = [caf(ch)].\n\nsubstituting this in we get the following:\n\nfl = V(aq)[caf(aq)] / (V(aq)[caf(aq)] + V(ch)[caf(aq)]*Kd)\n\nNow we see that all the [caf(aq)] factors cancel leaving us with:\n\nfl = V(aq) / (V(aq) + V(ch)Kd)\n\nSince we are not actually interested in the fraction left but are rather interested in the fraction extracted (fe) the equation for the fraction extracted will simply be one minus the fraction left or:\n\nfe = 1 - fl = 1 - V(aq) / (V(aq) + V(ch)Kd).\n\nIf a percent is desired we simply multiply the fraction by 100% or:\n\n%fe = (1 - V(aq) / (V(aq) + V(ch)Kd))*100%.\n\nFor this particular problem you want an 85% extraction, you have 120ml of aqueous volume, and a Kd of 0.0714.

Introduction\nThere are several interpretations as to what constitutes the Bottomless Pit or Abyss. It is, say some Christians, the 'industrial regions of Europe' from which billions of tons of smoke pour forth every year. Others contend that the Abyss is the 'uninhabited earth.' Still others say that the word Abyss is simply a 'figurative way of describing the dark depths of sin.' The Oxford dictionary defines the word Abyss as: a hole so deep that it appears bottomless. And that is exactly how the King James Version of the Bible in Revelation 9:1 renders the Greek word 'abussos.' It calls it, the Bottomless Pit or the deep. Other translators render 'abussos' as the Abyss. \nStrong's concordance explains abussos as follows: \n\n12 abussos {ab'-us-sos} \nAV - bottomless pit 5, deep 2, bottomless 2; Total: 9 \n1) bottomless \n2) unbounded \n3) the abyss \n3a) the pit \n3b) the immeasurable depth \n3c) of Orcus, a very deep gulf or chasm in the lowest parts of the earth used as the common receptacle of the dead and especially as the abode of demons. \n\nTo identify the Bottomless Pit (the Abyss) is important to say the least; for it is from there that the Antichrist comes. Failure to identify the Abyss has led to much confusion. \n\n2. What and Where is the Abyss?\nWe will rely on the Scriptures to find out. When we do this we discover that the Greek word 'abussos' is translated in the King James Bible as the "Bottomless Pit" or in Luke's gospel as "the deep." In Luke's account we are given an important clue about the Abyss. We find that it is a kind of spirit penitentiary, a prison which evil angels dread. \nLuke 8: 26: And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.\n27: And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.\n28: When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.\n29: (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)\n30: And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.\n31: And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the DEEP.\n32: And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.\n33: Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. \n\nSimilar information is given by Apostles Peter and Jude who also wrote of this dungeon where evil spirits are held captive.

A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00.

| Quite embarassing but does anybody know what this might be? | Recently I've noticed my anus is itchy especially during the night, when i wake up due to it. I have sudden urges to go to the toilet for a poo and when I pass a stool I have seen quite a few times a thin, long, white thread type thing just under the surface of the stool. I have not seen anything wriggling about in the toilet. I am not sure if I am describing threadworms or pinworms or whether I am mistaking the sighting for digested food????\n\nHow would I know?? (apart from going to my Gp?) Help!!!\n\nThanks. | What are pinworms?\n\nPinworms are small, white worms that live in the intestines. Pinworm infections are common in young children and are easily treated.\n\nIf your child is infected with pinworms, you may notice him or her moving around a lot in bed at night or being unable to sleep because of an itchy bottom. The itching is caused by the female pinworm that comes out of the rectum to lay eggs around the anus (the opening to the rectum). Sometimes tiny white worms (shorter than 1/2 inch) may be seen on the child's bottom at night or they may show up in the child's bowel movement.\n\n\nHow do people get pinworms?\n\nPinworms are easy to get. Pinworms are usually spread from child to child, and the eggs can be picked up on children's fingers when they are playing. Eggs can stay or your child's skin for several hours. They can survive for 2 weeks on clothes, bedding and toys. If the eggs are on your child's hands or toys, and your child puts their fingers or toys in their mouth, the tiny eggs can enter their bodies. The eggs stay in the upper part of the intestine until they hatch. After they hatch, the worms move down the length of the intestine, and then out the anus where they lay eggs. \n\nWhen children scratch their itchy bottoms, the tiny eggs can get under their fingernails. As the children move around the house, the eggs may be spread, and other family members may become infected. Sometimes adults breathe in the eggs when the bed covers are shaken. However, this is very uncommon. Children easily infect each other while they are playing and by not thoroughly washing their hands before eating. Pets do not spread pinworms, although they may carry their own kinds of worms.\n\n\nHow are pinworms detected?\n\nBecause pinworms usually crawl out of the anus while a child sleeps, the tape test is an easy way to find pinworms. It's best to do this right when your child wakes up and before he or she uses the bathroom or bathes. To do the tape test, your doctor will give you a tongue depressor with a piece of clear tape on the end. You will press the end of the tongue depressor--with the tape on it--against your child's anal skin. Then the tape is placed sticky-side down on a glass slide. If your child has pinworms, your doctor will be able to see the eggs with a microscope. You may even see the worms around the anus during the tape test.\nReturn to top\n\nHow do we get rid of pinworms?\n\nMost pinworm infections are mild and easily treated. Your doctor may prescribe a single chewable tablet of a medicine called mebendazole (brand name: Vermox). About 2 weeks later, a second tablet is taken. Or your doctor may recommend another kind of medicine, pyrantel (brand names: Pin-X, Pin-Rid). This is also taken in 2 doses about 2 weeks apart.\n\nEven if only one child in a family has pinworms, it is very important that everyone in the household be treated with the pinworm medicine at the same time, even if they don't have any signs of pinworms. All the sheets, blankets, towels and clothing in the house should be washed in hot water, and everyone's fingernails (which might hold the worm eggs) should be carefully cleaned and cut short.\n\nIf you get treatment from your doctor right away and keep everything in the house very clean, your family's encounter with pinworms should soon be over.\n\n\nHow to prevent pinworm infections and reinfections:\n\nMake sure your child washes his or her hands before a meal and after using the restroom.\nKeep your child's fingernails trimmed.\nDiscourage your child from nail-biting and scratching their anal area.\nBe sure your child changes into a clean pair of underwear each day.\nHave your child bathe in the morning to reduce egg contamination.\nOpen bedroom blinds and curtains during the day. Eggs are sensitive to sunlight.\nAfter each treatment, change your child's night clothes, underwear and bedding. | 1,074 | Quite embarassing but does anybody know what this might be?Recently I've noticed my anus is itchy especially during the night, when i wake up due to it.

Pets do not spread pinworms, although they may carry their own kinds of worms.\n\n\nHow are pinworms detected?\n\nBecause pinworms usually crawl out of the anus while a child sleeps, the tape test is an easy way to find pinworms. It's best to do this right when your child wakes up and before he or she uses the bathroom or bathes. To do the tape test, your doctor will give you a tongue depressor with a piece of clear tape on the end. You will press the end of the tongue depressor--with the tape on it--against your child's anal skin. Then the tape is placed sticky-side down on a glass slide. If your child has pinworms, your doctor will be able to see the eggs with a microscope. You may even see the worms around the anus during the tape test.\nReturn to top\n\nHow do we get rid of pinworms?\n\nMost pinworm infections are mild and easily treated. Your doctor may prescribe a single chewable tablet of a medicine called mebendazole (brand name: Vermox). About 2 weeks later, a second tablet is taken. Or your doctor may recommend another kind of medicine, pyrantel (brand names: Pin-X, Pin-Rid). This is also taken in 2 doses about 2 weeks apart.\n\nEven if only one child in a family has pinworms, it is very important that everyone in the household be treated with the pinworm medicine at the same time, even if they don't have any signs of pinworms. All the sheets, blankets, towels and clothing in the house should be washed in hot water, and everyone's fingernails (which might hold the worm eggs) should be carefully cleaned and cut short.\n\nIf you get treatment from your doctor right away and keep everything in the house very clean, your family's encounter with pinworms should soon be over.\n\n\nHow to prevent pinworm infections and reinfections:\n\nMake sure your child washes his or her hands before a meal and after using the restroom.\nKeep your child's fingernails trimmed.\nDiscourage your child from nail-biting and scratching their anal area.\nBe sure your child changes into a clean pair of underwear each day.\nHave your child bathe in the morning to reduce egg contamination.\nOpen bedroom blinds and curtains during the day. Eggs are sensitive to sunlight.\nAfter each treatment, change your child's night clothes, underwear and bedding. | Health |

Here's a trick for staying satisfied while still keeping portions under control: Cut high-calorie foods like cheese and chocolate into smaller pieces. It will seem like you're getting more than you actually are.\n\n\nDon't give up dips. If you love creamy dips and sauces, don't cut them out of your diet completely. Just use low-fat sour cream or mayo instead of the full-fat stuff.\n\n\nGet water-wise. Make a habit of reaching for a glass of water instead of a high-calorie snack. It will help your overall health as well as your waistline. Add some zest with a twist of lemon or lime.\n\n\nHerb it up. Stock up your spice rack, and start growing a small herb garden in your kitchen window. Spices and herbs add fantastic flavor to foods without adding fat or calories.\n\n\nSlim down your soup. Make a big batch of soup and refrigerate it before you eat it. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top. Skim it off the surface for reduced fat content.\n\n\nDoggie-bag that dinner. At restaurants, ask the server to put half your entrée in a doggie bag before bringing it to your table. Putting the food away before you start your meal will help you practice portion control.\n\n\nListen to your cravings. If you're craving something sweet, eat something sweet — just opt for a healthier nosh, like fruit, instead of a high-calorie one. The same goes for crunchy cravings — for example, try air-popped popcorn with soy sauce instead of high-fat tortilla chips. It's just smart substitution!\n\n\nEase your way into produce. If you're new to eating lots of fruits and veggies, start slowly. Just add them to the foods you already enjoy. Pile veggies on top of your sandwiches, or add fruit to your cereal.\n\n\nLook for high-fat hints. Want an easy way to identify high-calorie entrees? Keep an eye out for these words: au gratin, parmigiana, tempura, alfredo, creamy and carbonara, and enjoy them in moderation.\n\n\nDon't multitask while you eat. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't be paying attention to what's going into your mouth — and you won't be enjoying every bite. Every time you sit down for a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavors and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.\n\n\nTaste something new. Broaden your food repertoire — you may find you like more healthy foods than you knew. Try a new fruit or vegetable. (Ever had jicama, plantain, bok choy, starfruit or papaya?)\n\n\nLeave something on your plate at every meal. One bite of bagel, half your sandwich, the bun from your burger. See if you feel satisfied eating just a bit less.\n\n\nGet to know your portion sizes. It's easy to underestimate how much you're eating. Don't just estimate things — make sure. Ask how much is in a serving, read the fine print on labels, measure your food. And learn portion equivalents: One serving of pasta, for instance, should be around the size of a tennis ball.\n\n\nMake a healthy substitution. Learn to swap healthier foods for their less-healthful counterparts. Find a substitution that works for you: Use skim milk instead of whole milk; make up a batch of brownie mix with applesauce instead of oil; try a whole-grain bread instead of white.\n\n\nBring lunch to work. Packing lunch will help you control your portion sizes. It also provides a good alternative to restaurants and fast-food joints, where making healthy choices every day can be challenging (not to mention expensive).\n\n\nHave some dessert. You don't have to deny yourself all the time. Have a treat that brings you pleasure, but this time enjoy it guilt-free — be sure you're practicing portion control, and compensate for your indulgence by exercising a little more or by skipping your afternoon snack.\n\n\nAsk for what you need.

named Rocky Raccoon(na) \nAnd one day his woman ran off with another guy \nHit young Rocky in the eye \nRocky didn't like that he said I'm gonna get that boy \nso one day he walked into town \nBooked himself a room in the local saloon \n\nRocky Raccoon checked into his room \nOnly to find Gideon's bible \nRocky had come equipped with the gun \nto shoot off the legs of his rival \n\nHis rival it seems had broken his dreams \nBy stealing the girls of his fancy \nHer name was Magill, and she called herself Lil \nBut everyone knew her as Nancy \n\nNow she and her man who called himself Dan \nWere in the next room at the hoe-down \nRocky burst in and grinning a grin \nHe said Danny boy this is a show down \n\nDaniel was hot he drew first and shot \nAnd Rocky collapsed in the corner \nDa, da, da, da, da \n\nNow the doctor came in stinking of gin \nAnd proceeded to lie on the table \nHe said Rocky you met your match \nAnd Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch \nAnd I'll be better \nI'll be better doc as soon as I am able \n\nAnd now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room \nonly to find Gideon's bible \nGideon checked out and he left it no doubt \nTo help with good Rocky's revival \nAh, oh yeah, yeah \nDa, da, da, da \n====================\nRaccoon's Got a Bushy Tail \n \nRaccoon's got a bushy tail,\nPossum's tail goes bare,\nRabbit's got no tail at all\nJust a little old bunch of hair.\n\nRaccoon is a mighty man,\nHe rambles through the dark,\nYou ought to see him hunt his den\nWhen he hears Old Ranger bark.\n\nPossum up persimmon tree,\nRaccoon on the ground,\nRaccoon says to possum,\n"Won't you shake them 'simmons down."\n\nRabbit up in the gum stump,\n'Coon in the holler,\nPossum in the 'tater patch,\nFat as he can waller.\n\nRaccoon's got a bushy tail,\nPossum's tail goes bare,\nRabbit's got no tail at all\nJust a little old bunch of hair.\n ======================\n\n \n \nFormat is basically the same as with Moccasin Dance \nSongs begin with a slow beat \n2 or more singers, usually about 6-10, in the middle, water drum and horn rattles \n"Fish" step style of dancing \nSingle file, two men lead the dance, other men join in pairs \nMen take the lead with a slow stomp step style or by facing their partner and doing a kick step \nWhen the beat changes to a faster tempo, then the fish step style is used \nWomen join the men, two at a time and join the line between the men so that the line eventually ends up as two men, two women, two men \nSong changes beat and the men and women switch places, so that the women that started on the inside of two men, end up on the outside of two men \nThe song ends with the lead dancer giving a yell, like a "whoop" and the partners stay where they are until the next song, and they will switch places again, when the beat changes \n\nTo hear sound samples of Raccoon Dance in Real Audio format, click one of the following

| Ok, so everyone thinks that Adam and Eve were the first, right? | Ok, so everyone thinks that Adam and Eve were the first humans right, but when Cain killed Able he was cast out into the tribes of man. So, who where the tribes of man? | "Ding - dong!" goes the doorbell. Is it Avon calling? Or perhaps Ed McMahon with\nmy three million dollars? No, it's Yahweh's Witlesses again, just wanting to have a\nnice little chat about the Bible.......\nBoy, did they ever come to the wrong house! So we invite them in: "Enter freely and\nof your own will..." (Hey, it's Sunday morning, nothing much going on, why not have\na little entertainment?) Diane and I amuse ourselves watching their expressions as\nthey check out the living room: great horned owl on the back of my chair; ceremonial\nmasks and medicine skulls of dragons and unicorns on the wall; crystals, wands,\nstaffs, swords; lots of Goddess figures and several altars; boa constrictors draped in\namorous embrace over the elkhorn; white doves sitting in the hanging planters; cats\nand weasels underfoot; iron dragon snorting steam atop the wood stove; posters and\npaintings of wizards and beasties and lots more dinosaurs; warp six on the star-filled\nviewscreen of my computer; a five foot model of the USS Enterprise and the skeleton\nof a plesiosaur hanging from the ceiling; very, very many books, most of them dealing\nwith obviously weird subjects.... To say nothing of the great horned owl perched on\nthe back of my chair and the unicorn grazing in the front yard. You know; early\nAddams family decor. And then, of course, it being late in the morning, you can\nexpect Morning Glory to come wandering out naked, looking for her wake-up cup of\ntea. Morning Glory naked is a truly impressive sight, and the Witlesses look as if she'd\nset titties on stun as they stand immobilized, hands clasped over their genitals.\nWith the stage set and all the actors in place, the show is ready to begin.\nTheir mission, of course, is to save our heathen souls by turning us on to "The Word\nof the Lord"- their Bible. I guess they figger some of us just haven't heard about it yet,\nand we're all eagerly awaiting their joyous tidings of personal salvation through giving\nour rational faculties to Jesus.\nEverytime they come around, I look forward to trying out a new riposte.\nSure, it may be cruel and sadistic of me, but hey, I didn't call them up and ask them to\ncome over; they entered at their own risk! This time should be pretty good. After\nletting them run off their basic rap while lovely Morning Glory serves us all hot herb\ntea, I innocently remark: "But none of that applies to us. We have no need for\nsalvation because we don't have original sin. We are the Other People."\n"Hunh?" they reply eloquently. It's clear they've never heard this one before.\n"Right," I say. "It's all in your Bible." And I proceed to tell them the story, using their\nown book for reference: (Genesis 1:26) The (Elohim) said, "Let us make humanity in\nour own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the\nsea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild beasts and all the reptiles that crawl\nupon the earth." Elohim is a plural word, including male and female, and should\nproperly be translated "Gods" or "Pantheon." (1:27) The Gods created humanity in the\nimage of themselves, In the image of the Gods they created them, Male and Female\nthey created them. (1:28) The Gods blessed them, saying to them, "Be fruitful,\nmultiply, fill the earth and conquer it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of\nheaven and all living animals on the earth."\nNow clearly, here we are talking about the original creation of the human species:\nmale and femal. All the animals, plants, etc. have all been created in previous verses.\nThis is before the Garden of Eden, and Yahweh is not mentioned as the creator of\nthese people.\n\n\nThe next chapter talks aobut how Yahweh, an individual member of the Pantheon,\ngoes about assembling his own special little botanical and zoological Gard | 1,059 | Ok, so everyone thinks that Adam and Eve were the first, right?Ok, so everyone thinks that Adam and Eve were the first humans right, but when Cain killed Able he was cast out into the tribes of man. So, who where the tribes of man?"Ding - dong!" goes the doorbell. Is it Avon calling? Or perhaps Ed McMahon with\nmy three million dollars? No, it's Yahweh's Witlesses again, just wanting to have a\nnice little chat about the Bible.......\nBoy, did they ever come to the wrong house! So we invite them in: "Enter freely and\nof your own will..." (Hey, it's Sunday morning, nothing much going on, why not have\na little entertainment?) Diane and I amuse ourselves watching their expressions as\nthey check out the living room: great horned owl on the back of my chair; ceremonial\nmasks and medicine skulls of dragons and unicorns on the wall; crystals, wands,\nstaffs, swords; lots of Goddess figures and several altars; boa constrictors draped in\namorous embrace over the elkhorn; white doves sitting in the hanging planters; cats\nand weasels underfoot; iron dragon snorting steam atop the wood stove; posters and\npaintings of wizards and beasties and lots more dinosaurs; warp six on the star-filled\nviewscreen of my computer; a five foot model of the USS Enterprise and the skeleton\nof a plesiosaur hanging from the ceiling; very, very many books, most of them dealing\nwith obviously weird subjects.... To say nothing of the great horned owl perched on\nthe back of my chair and the unicorn grazing in the front yard. You know; early\nAddams family decor. And then, of course, it being late in the morning, you can\nexpect Morning Glory to come wandering out naked, looking for her wake-up cup of\ntea. Morning Glory naked is a truly impressive sight, and the Witlesses look as if she'd\nset titties on stun as they stand immobilized, hands clasped over their genitals.\nWith the stage set and all the actors in place, the show is ready to begin.\nTheir mission, of course, is to save our heathen souls by turning us on to "The Word\nof the Lord"- their Bible. I guess they figger some of us just haven't heard about it yet,\nand we're all eagerly awaiting their joyous tidings of personal salvation through giving\nour rational faculties to Jesus.\nEverytime they come around, I look forward to trying out a new riposte.\nSure, it may be cruel and sadistic of me, but hey, I didn't call them up and ask them to\ncome over; they entered at their own risk! This time should be pretty good. After\nletting them run off their basic rap while lovely Morning Glory serves us all hot herb\ntea, I innocently remark: "But none of that applies to us. We have no need for\nsalvation because we don't have original sin. We are the Other People."\n"Hunh?" they reply eloquently. It's clear they've never heard this one before.\n"Right," I say. "It's all in your Bible." And I proceed to tell them the story, using their\nown book for reference: (Genesis 1:26) The (Elohim) said, "Let us make humanity in\nour own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the\nsea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild beasts and all the reptiles that crawl\nupon the earth." Elohim is a plural word, including male and female, and should\nproperly be translated "Gods" or "Pantheon." (1:27) The Gods created humanity in the\nimage of themselves, In the image of the Gods they created them, Male and Female\nthey created them. (1:28) The Gods blessed them, saying to them, "Be fruitful,\nmultiply, fill the earth and conquer it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of\nheaven and all living animals on the earth."\nNow clearly, here we are talking about the original creation of the human species:\nmale and femal. All the animals, plants, etc. have all been created in previous verses.\nThis is before the Garden of Eden, and Yahweh is not mentioned as the creator of\nthese people.\n\n\nThe next chapter talks aobut how Yahweh, an individual member of the Pantheon,\ngoes about assembling his own special little botanical and zoological Gard | Society & Culture |

How many times has Mick Foley (Mankind, Cactus Jack,Dude Love) won the Hardcore title | 1: Triple H (5 times)\n\n2: The Rock vs. Triple H in a 60-Minute WWE Iron Man Match for the WWE Championship with guest referee Shawn Michaels\n\nIn April 2000, The Rock defeated Triple H at Backlash to claim the WWE Championship. A rematch was set for the next month at Judgment Day; it was made a 60-Minute Iron Man Match, and the winner would be the man who scored the most falls within the 60-minute time limit. On top of that, this was the second straight Backlash main event to have a special referee; in this case, it was Shawn Michaels.\n\nThe Rock started out quickly, and Triple H fled the ring after a series of near falls. Once back in, The Game took control with a single-arm DDT and worked The Rock’s arm, but The Great One hit a Rock Bottom at the 11-minute mark to score the first fall.\n\nAs the next fall began, the two combatants brawled on the floor. Triple H sent The Rock into the barrier, but missed a running knee, and The Great One worked The Game’s knee on the floor. Back inside, The Rock applied a Figure-Four Leglock, but Triple H was eventually able to reverse it. After brawling out into the crowd, Triple H was able to nail the Pedigree to take the second fall. Following the mandatory rest period, The Game caught a still groggy Rock in a small package, quickly taking a 2 falls to 1 lead. \n\nThe Rock then left the ring to recover, and the two men brawled in the aisle. Rock took control, but back inside the ring, Triple H reversed a spinebuster into a facebuster. He then nailed a piledriver, getting the pin to go up 3-1. Triple H tried to go aerial to begin the next fall, but The Rock slammed him off the top rope. Triple H regained control and applied a Sleeper Hold, but Rock escaped with a belly to belly suplex. The Rock then quickly hit his signature floatover DDT to get the pinfall and pull to within 3-2.\n\nVisibly upset, Triple H rolled out of the ring, and The Rock followed. They brawled on the floor to begin the next fall, and Triple H nailed Rock with a chair. That drew a disqualification, evening the score at 3-3; however, after the mandatory rest period, The Rock was still out of it, so Triple H rolled him into the ring for an immediate pinfall, giving him a 4-3 lead. Triple H then applied another Sleeper as the next fall began, and a still woozy Rock was unable to escape, giving Triple H a 5-3 lead with about 10 minutes left. \n\nAs the next fall began, Triple H and Michaels got into an altercation, allowing Rock to recover. He sent The Game flying over the top rope, and they brawled on the floor. Back inside the ring, both men were down after a Rock superplex, and after a quick two count, they headed to the floor again. After running Rock into the stairs, Triple H tried to give Rock a Rock Bottom through the announce table. Instead, The Rock reversed, and gave The Game a taste of his own medicine, hitting a Pedigree on the table. Rock rolled back in the ring and Triple H was counted out, cutting his lead to 5-4.\n\nThe McMahon-Helmsley regime then made their way to ringside to try to but Triple H time, but The Rock fought them all off, then rolled The Game back into the ring. After a quick People’s Elbow, Rock got a pin to tie the score at 5-5 with about two minutes left.\n\nAfter Shawn Michaels was knocked down in the final two minutes, D-Generation X charged the ring to help The Game. As they did, Undertaker made a startling return, chokeslamming all of DX, including Triple H. However, right before the time limit expired, Michaels had recovered; having seen Undertaker’s attack, he called for a disqualification, giving the fall to Triple H. That gave him a 6-5 lead, and with the time limit having expired, The Game was awarded the match and his fourth WWE Championship.\n\n3: Fabulous Moolah (09-18-56 - 07-23-84)\n\n4: Ashley Massaro (last year's diva search winner)\n\n5: just once (mankind) | 1,072 | YET ANOTHER WRESTLING Quiz?1.

After a quick People’s Elbow, Rock got a pin to tie the score at 5-5 with about two minutes left.\n\nAfter Shawn Michaels was knocked down in the final two minutes, D-Generation X charged the ring to help The Game. As they did, Undertaker made a startling return, chokeslamming all of DX, including Triple H. However, right before the time limit expired, Michaels had recovered; having seen Undertaker’s attack, he called for a disqualification, giving the fall to Triple H. That gave him a 6-5 lead, and with the time limit having expired, The Game was awarded the match and his fourth WWE Championship.\n\n3: Fabulous Moolah (09-18-56 - 07-23-84)\n\n4: Ashley Massaro (last year's diva search winner)\n\n5: just once (mankind) | Sports |

| Formula for Possible Cominations? | I want to know how to calculate how many possible combinations of 6 symbols out of 39 symbols can be made\nEach symbol can only be used once in each combination (no AAAABC or ABBBBC)\nYou can't have the same combination twice, just with a mixed up order (ABCDEF, BDEACF, and FEDACB would all count as one, or the same combination)\nIt would be great if you could prove to me how/why the formula is or number of combinations you come up with is correct\nThank you a lot | 1) Let's first consider not the combination but the permutations without repetition (considering the order).\n\nSuppose to have 39 numbered cards in your hands and shuffle them well. \nIf you get one card and you drop it on the table you have 39 different possibilities, obviously.\n\nNow, from the remaining 38 cards in your hands, If you drop another card on the right side of the previous card, you'll have 38 different possibilities for just that second choose, but If you consider the order of both cards you'll have exactly 39*38 = 1482 different possibilities that the 2 card will be ordered and choosen in that way.\n\nIf you get a 3rd card from the remaining 37 in your hand you'll have on the table in the right side of previous exraction, a group of 3 ordered cards choosen by 39*38*37 = 54834 different ways will be on the table.\n\nRecursively go to choose until 6 ordered cards will be the table and you'll have 39*38*37*36*35*36 = 2349088560 possibile ways if you consider the order. \n\n2) Now let's see what happend when the order of the selection matters as you asked in your question. \nSo let's make this consideration:\n\na) If you have one card (A) you don't mind about ordering problems: {A} = (A)\n\nb) if you have two cards (A, B) you have to consider the couple (A, B) = (B, A) so we write {A, B} are commutative;\n\nc) if you have three cards "A", "B" and "C" you can group (A, B) as one element {A, B} because order doesn't matter (point b).\n\nSo we can consider the 3 cards (A, B, C) as:\n ( {A, B}, C ) = ( C, {A, B} ) as we made in the point b.\nYou could also group (A, {B, C}) = ( {B, C}, A) or {A, C} and then swapping with B.\n\nSo with 3 elements we have 3 different ways to create couple to swap so we can create 3*2 = 6 different combination.\n\nIf we have 4 cards we know it's possible to choose 4 different ways to create list of 3 cards. Let's stop one each time with your finger and you can see that you can group easily the remaining other 3's.\nSo the possible combination with 4 cards is 4 times the possible combination I have with 3 cards. So it's 4 * (3 * 2).\n\nWith 5 cards you'll have 5 times the number of combinations we found with 4 cards, so it's 5 * (4 * 3 * 2).\n\nFinally, with 6 cards in a table arrange in 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 720 different ordered ways.\n\nNow, your question was how to do if the order of selection matters and in the previous example we find that the number of possibilities we have when we select 6 cards ordered is this number 39*38*37*36*35*34 = 2349088560. And we know now that this number is 720 times greater than the possibilities wether the order of selection doesn't matter. (720 = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2).\n\nIn other words, 39 * 38 * 37 * 36 * 35 * 34 is the number of permutations without repetition of 39 elements grouped by a list of 6 elements considering the order.\n\nAnd now we know with 6 elements you can have 6*5*4*3*2 possible different positions of those elements. \n\nSo Just divide 39*38*37*36*35*34 by 6*5*4*3*2 and you'll have the result of the combinations.\n\nSo to see how many combination of 6 cards bye a set of 39 just divide 39*38*37*36*35*34 / 6*5*4*3*2 = 3262623.\n\nthe number 6*5*4*3*2 could be wrote "6!" using the the factorial function.\n\nThe factorial function of positive integer n, is defined as the product of first n numbers:\n\nn! = 1 * 2 * 3 * ... * n\n\nand is a convention that the product of no numbers at all is 1.\n\n0! = 1\n\n\nThe factorial is also defined recursively by the follow definition:\n\n(n+1)! = (n+1) * n!\n\n\nSo if you have n object and you want to know how many permutation (the order matters) without repetition (each object can be chosen only once) the objects makes with a number k of selection the formula is:\n \n n! / (n-k)!\n\nso it's the product of k terms starting from n and descending until reached (n-k+1).\n\nn*(n-1)*(n-2)*. | 1,232 | Formula for Possible Cominations?I want to know how to calculate how many possible combinations of 6 symbols out of 39 symbols can be made\nEach symbol can only be used once in each combination (no AAAABC or ABBBBC)\nYou can't have the same combination twice, just with a mixed up order (ABCDEF, BDEACF, and FEDACB would all count as one, or the same combination)\nIt would be great if you could prove to me how/why the formula is or number of combinations you come up with is correct\nThank you a lot1) Let's first consider not the combination but the permutations without repetition (considering the order).\n\nSuppose to have 39 numbered cards in your hands and shuffle them well. \nIf you get one card and you drop it on the table you have 39 different possibilities, obviously.\n\nNow, from the remaining 38 cards in your hands, If you drop another card on the right side of the previous card, you'll have 38 different possibilities for just that second choose, but If you consider the order of both cards you'll have exactly 39*38 = 1482 different possibilities that the 2 card will be ordered and choosen in that way.\n\nIf you get a 3rd card from the remaining 37 in your hand you'll have on the table in the right side of previous exraction, a group of 3 ordered cards choosen by 39*38*37 = 54834 different ways will be on the table.\n\nRecursively go to choose until 6 ordered cards will be the table and you'll have 39*38*37*36*35*36 = 2349088560 possibile ways if you consider the order. \n\n2) Now let's see what happend when the order of the selection matters as you asked in your question. \nSo let's make this consideration:\n\na) If you have one card (A) you don't mind about ordering problems: {A} = (A)\n\nb) if you have two cards (A, B) you have to consider the couple (A, B) = (B, A) so we write {A, B} are commutative;\n\nc) if you have three cards "A", "B" and "C" you can group (A, B) as one element {A, B} because order doesn't matter (point b).\n\nSo we can consider the 3 cards (A, B, C) as:\n ( {A, B}, C ) = ( C, {A, B} ) as we made in the point b.\nYou could also group (A, {B, C}) = ( {B, C}, A) or {A, C} and then swapping with B.\n\nSo with 3 elements we have 3 different ways to create couple to swap so we can create 3*2 = 6 different combination.\n\nIf we have 4 cards we know it's possible to choose 4 different ways to create list of 3 cards.

(720 = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2).\n\nIn other words, 39 * 38 * 37 * 36 * 35 * 34 is the number of permutations without repetition of 39 elements grouped by a list of 6 elements considering the order.\n\nAnd now we know with 6 elements you can have 6*5*4*3*2 possible different positions of those elements. \n\nSo Just divide 39*38*37*36*35*34 by 6*5*4*3*2 and you'll have the result of the combinations.\n\nSo to see how many combination of 6 cards bye a set of 39 just divide 39*38*37*36*35*34 / 6*5*4*3*2 = 3262623.\n\nthe number 6*5*4*3*2 could be wrote "6!" using the the factorial function.\n\nThe factorial function of positive integer n, is defined as the product of first n numbers:\n\nn! = 1 * 2 * 3 * ... * n\n\nand is a convention that the product of no numbers at all is 1.\n\n0! = 1\n\n\nThe factorial is also defined recursively by the follow definition:\n\n(n+1)! = (n+1) * n!\n\n\nSo if you have n object and you want to know how many permutation (the order matters) without repetition (each object can be chosen only once) the objects makes with a number k of selection the formula is:\n \n n! / (n-k)!\n\nso it's the product of k terms starting from n and descending until reached (n-k+1).\n\nn*(n-1)*(n-2)*. | Science & Mathematics |

| How would you interpret this scripture in 2 Samuel? | "The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.\n\n"And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain." 2 Samuel 23:3,4 | Righteousness Exalts a Nation\n\nAFTER days of rain, what a pleasure it is to wake up and see the sun shining in a cloudless sky! The earth has been refreshed, and now the vegetation can grow luxuriantly. Jehovah God once used such a picture to illustrate the blessings of righteous rule. To King David he said: “When one ruling over mankind is righteous, ruling in the fear of God, then it is as the light of morning, when the sun shines forth, a morning without clouds. From brightness, from rain, there is grass out of the earth.”—2 Samuel 23:3, 4.\n\nGod’s words proved true during the righteous rule of David’s son, King Solomon. The Bible reports: “Judah and Israel continued to dwell in security, everyone under his own vine and under his own fig tree, from Dan to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.”—1 Kings 4:25.\n\nAncient Israel was God’s chosen nation. He gave them his laws and told them that if they obeyed his voice, he would place them “high above all other nations of the earth.” (Deuteronomy 28:1) It was not Israel’s own righteousness but Jehovah’s righteousness that exalted them. The commandments that God gave them were far superior to the laws of the nations around them. As a people, they were just as imperfect as all those nations. Hence, to Jehovah’s superior Law and their strict adherence to it go the credit for their being lifted up above the nations. When they obeyed Jehovah’s laws, they enjoyed his favor and blessing. King Solomon experienced this during his reign. He could say: “Righteousness is what exalts a nation, but,” he warned, “sin is something disgraceful to national groups.”—Proverbs 14:34.\n\nSadly, through frequent acts of disobedience, the nation of Israel was brought to a low standing. They suffered national disgrace. This eventually led to their permanent rejection in favor of a new spiritual nation.—Matthew 21:43.\n\nSpiritual Israel\n\nAt a meeting of the Christian governing body in Jerusalem, James, born a Jew, said under inspiration that God had “turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.” (Acts 15:14) The apostle Paul called this new Christian nation “the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:16) Respecting the purpose of their calling, Peter wrote: “You are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies’ of the one that called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9) As God’s chosen people, they were to shine as illuminators in the world. Jehovah’s righteousness would set them on high.—Philippians 2:15.\n\nThe selection of these spiritual Israelites can be compared to diamond mining. When rich diamond-bearing ore is brought to the surface, it may yield only 1 carat (.007 ounce [200 mg]) per 3 tons of earth. A method once used to separate the diamonds involved mixing the ore with water and flowing the mixture over tables of grease. Diamonds are water-repellent, and they stuck to the grease while the unwanted material was washed away. At this stage the diamonds were rough. However, when cut and polished, they reflected light in all directions.\n\nLike water-repellent diamonds that are no part of the matter around them, Jehovah’s people have been separated from the world. (John 17:16) When first drawn to the light, they may have lacked luster. But Jehovah’s Word and spirit create within them a new personality, and they shine as illuminators in this world. It is because of Jehovah’s righteousness that they are set on high and reflect the glorious light of Kingdom truth in all directions, not because of their own righteousness.\n\nYet, from the latter part of the first century C.E., apostasy crept into the congregations and affected many.

| Catholic is not Christian? | I've heard it all to often, but the assertions are launched by those who broke away from the Christian Church and defined man-made doctrines that were never accepted previously. Then they claim themselves Christian, and their origins to not be Christian. Your proofs are unfounded against the Catholic Church because it relies on your man-made interpretation of the Bible. Catholics may not be Protestants, but they are most definately Christians. I want your proofs. However, I recognize with will get a lot of Jack Chick style accusations that either are fabrications or that just don't mesh with what you claim Christianity to be as defined by a few guys just a few hundred years ago.

Then they claim themselves Christian, and their origins to not be Christian. Your proofs are unfounded against the Catholic Church because it relies on your man-made interpretation of the Bible. Catholics may not be Protestants, but they are most definately Christians. I want your proofs.

| A question about resurection? | I have often wondered how they missed this one. When Jesus was crucified, according to Matthew, many of the dead saints arose from their graves and went into the city and appeared unto many. This must have created quite a stir. Imagine Uncle Morti knocking at the door wanting to check how things are going at the bakery, or the guy next door wanting his farm back, after all he’s back. How is it that Josephus and the other contemporary historians missed this one, probably the most news worthy thing that happened in the history of the world. I guess they had more important things to write about. By the way not a word about Jesus coming back either. Perhaps Matthew was stretching the story just a wee bit?\n\n\nMatthew Chapter 27\n\n51 ¶ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;\n52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,\n53 and came out of the graves after his resurrection | The resurrection of Jesus Christ has such significance to God's plan of salvation for mankind that God made it a spectacular day, so to speak. The veil, which was 60 feet tall, 30 feet wide, and three inches thick, was torn from TOP to bottom by God Himself because Christ's victory over sin and death gave all who believe direct access to the Father...no more veil between mankind and God! \n\nAlso, the resurrection of saints (those who died having had faith in God and the Messiah) was almost a celebration, or display of God's power to make the dead alive again, and of the new life all can have because of what Jesus Christ did. Matthew gives a very brief account of the matter and that's it. \n\nWhat we CAN know is that these all lived in their fleshly bodies and died at the end of their life. It would be interesting to hear all the details of how happy and surprised their families were, etc., etc.. However, Matthew did not detract from the MAIN event, which was the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the implications to all of mankind because of it.\n\nWe must be CAREFUL TO NOTE that these newly raised saints did not go to heaven. This would conflict with scripture all over the place. Scripture is clear that NO MAN has ascended to heaven but the Son:\n\n"No man has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven.” John 3:13\n\nGod's plan of salvation is foreshadowed in His holy days. The resurrections of mankind are likened to the harvests. There will be two (not including Jesus Christ who is the first fruits of the resurrection). The saints are raised to life in the first resurrection. The rest of the dead will be resurrected AFTER the millenium. But no one has been resurrected to heaven or anywhere else or the resurrections would be silly. All "sleep" until their particular resurrection.\n\nThe two resurrections are found in Revelation 20:4-5:\n\n"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.\n\nBut the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."\n\nThe first thing we notice is that those in the FIRST resurrection refused the mark of the beast, indicating that no one has been resurrected yet and won't be until after the great tribulation. These are seen upon thrones because they are the saints (believers in Christ) that while they lived in this first age prior to Christ's return, believed on Him and had faith in God. These will be raised to glorified bodies like Christ and be given immortality and incorruptibility at Christ's return, just as I Corinthians 15 describes:\n\n"Behold, I show you a mystery; We (saints) shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, \n\nIn a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be rasied incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\n\nFor this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."\n\nThis resurrection occurs simultaneously with the catching away (rapture) of those alive when Christ appears.

| I feel really ill with tonsillitis but do not want antibiotics for it . What do you recommend? | I feel really ill with tonsillitis but i want my body to fight it naturaly do you think it will clear up without antibiotics and how long will it take? Also what do you recomend that will help ease it as i am about cracking up? | It might be not just tonsilitis, but infectious mononucleosis (kissing disease), viral infection and bunch of others\n\n\nWhat is Tonsillitis?\n\nTonsillitis (ton-sil-lie-tiss) is an inflammation of the tonsils caused by an infection. In tonsillitis, the tonsils are enlarged, red, and often coated (either partly or entirely) by a substance that is yellow, gray, or white. Tonsillitis usually occurs as part of a pharyngitis (throat infection). Tonsilitis usually begins with sudden sore throat and painful swallowing.\n\nSometimes, tonsillitis reoccurs, and may cause difficulty breathing. If this occurs, your doctor may recommend taking them out. This procedure of removing tonsils from the throat is called a tonsillectomy.\n\nWhat are Tonsils?\n\nThe tonsils are fleshy clusters of tissue that lie in bands on both sides of the back of the throat, above and behind the tongue. The tonsils' major function is to catch incoming germs before the germs cause infections in the throat, mouth, or sinuses. Tonsils contain infection-fighting cells and antibodies that stop the spread of the germs further into the body.\n\nIf the tonsils are taken out, the individual will not suffer from more infections than they did when they had their tonsils. There are other tissues in the body that will produce antibodies to fight infection.\n\nWhat are the symptoms?\n\nEach person with tonsillitis may not experience all of the symptoms. Some of the major symptoms are: a very sore throat, fever, redder-than-normal tonsils, chills, a yellow or white coating on the tonsils, a funny-sounding voice, swollen glands in the neck, and bad breath.\n\nHow is tonsillitis diagnosed?\n\nTonsillitis can be diagnosed by performing a rapid strep test, also called a throat culture. To perform the throat culture, the doctor will use a long cotton swab to swipe off some of the stuff on the surface of the back of your throat. The doctor will then test the "stuff" on the cotton swab. This test will determine whether you have tonsillitis and whether it is caused by a bacteria or a virus.\n\nIs Tonsillitis Contagious?\n\nYes. Tonsillitis usually spreads from person to person by contact with the throat or nasal fluids of someone who is already infected.\n\nHow Is Tonsillitis Treated?\nTreatment for tonsillitis depends on whether it was caused by a virus or bacteria. If the tonsillitis was caused by strep bacteria (streptococci), the doctor will prescribe antibiotics. If the tonsillitis was caused by a virus, your body will fight off the infection on its own. However, medication can be prescribed to alleviate the symptoms.\n\nHow long does Tonsillitis Last?\n\nIf tonsillitis is caused by bacteria, with antibiotic treatment, the illness is usually cured within 1 week. However, it may take several weeks for the tonsils and swollen glands to return to normal size.\n\nWhen tonsillitis is caused by viruses, the length of illness depends on which virus is involved. Usually, people are almost completely recovered within 1 week. \n\n\n\nTonsillitis..What is it?\n\nwww.mamashealth.com/tonsillitis.asp \n\nTonsillitis\n\nhttp://kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/teeth/tonsillitis.html \n\n \n Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils caused by an infection and typically causes sore throat, fever, swollen glands in the neck\n http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/tonsillitis.html \n\nTonsilitis check\nhttp://www.rdoctor.com\nhttp://www.symptomat.com\n \nMedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Tonsillitis\nTonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils.

If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! \nThe predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, \nit most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably ! in a zig -zag pattern!\n8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP It may get you raped, \nor killed. \n9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late \nand she thought it was weird. The police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT \nopen the door." The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. \nThe policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, \nDO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone \ndropped off a baby He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls \nby women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.Please pass this on and DO NOT open the dooThank you so much for taking the time to write all of this. It is very helpful and it could go to help men as victims as well. bless your soul, dear! | Family & Relationships |

Firstly as the jewels (Thiruvaabaranam) of the Lord are transported from the Old Pandalam Palace to Sabarimala, a Krishnaparanth (holy eagle) circles above the precious cargo, like a protector. This rare eagle is rarely seen in the midst of people for a long period of time, yet the auspicious bird follows the Thiruvaabaranam procession, finally circling above Sanithanam at Shabarimala nine times as it pays its respects to Lord Ayyappan. During this time, there is not a single star in the sky expect for a special Nakshatram. As the beautiful jewels are placed on the golden body of the Lord within the temple, the several hundred thousand devotees outside, crammed into any available free space, chant "Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa". When the jewels are finally all adorned on the Lord, the Nakshatram in the sky miraculously disappears, as all the Devas and Celestial beings leave the sky to get a glimpse of the Lord in all his spleandour. Within moments of the Lord being adorned with the Thiruvabaranam, an effulgence appears in the opposite hills of Shabarimala, appearing 3 times. The entire hillside reverberates with the chant "Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa" as the devotees witness this auspicious sight, as the Devas and Celestial Rishis arrive at Shabarimala as an effulgence. These auspicious sights are different forms of the Lord Himself appearing. The devotees then climb the 18 holy gold steps to arrive at the Sanidhanam where they finally get a glimpse of the Lord as Himself, in all beauty, Manikanta Shri Dharmasastha, adorned with jewels. It is believed that if one witnesses these events after having undertaken 41 days of severe austerities (Vratham), one can attain Moksha.\n\nThis is why Ayyappan is also known as Kaliyugavaradhana, since He can help us to attain Moksha in this difficult age of Kaliyuga, the Age of Hypocracy and Violence.\n\n\nWhat about the matter of aliens & UFO\n\nA UFO or unidentified flying object is any real or apparent flying object which remains unidentified after investigation.\n\nThe UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek described a UFO as "the reported perception of an object or light seen in the sky or upon the land the appearance, trajectory, and general dynamic and luminescent behaviour of which do not suggest a logical, conventional explanation and which is not only mystifying to the original percipients but remains unidentified after close scrutiny of all available evidence by persons who are technically capable of making a common sense identification, if one is possible."\n\nMany people believe that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft, but others say there is no compelling evidence to support such a conclusion.

| What is Bessel Theorem? | Bessel functions of the first kind\n\nBessel functions of the first kind, denoted with Jα(x), are solutions of Bessel's differential equation which are finite at x = 0 for α an integer or α non-negative. The specific choice and normalization of Jα are defined by its properties below; another possibility is to define it by its Taylor series expansion around x = 0 (or a more general power series for non-integer α):\n\n J_\alpha(x) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^m}{m! \Gamma(m+\alpha+1)} {\left({\frac{x}{2}}\right)}^{2m+\alpha}\n\nHere, Γ(z) is the gamma function, a generalization of the factorial to non-integer values. The graphs of Bessel functions look roughly like oscillating sine or cosine functions that decay proportionally to 1/√x (see also their asymptotic forms, below), although their roots are not generally periodic except asymptotically for large x.\nPlot of Bessel function of the first kind, Jα</math>(x), for integer orders α=0,1,2.\nEnlarge\nPlot of Bessel function of the first kind, Jα</math>(x), for integer orders α=0,1,2.\n\nIf α is not an integer, the functions Jα(x) and J − α(x) are linearly independent and are therefore the two solutions of the differential equation. On the other hand, if the order α is an integer, then the following relationship is valid:\n\n J_{-\alpha}(x) = (-1)^{\alpha} J_{\alpha}(x)\,\n\nThis means that they are no longer linearly independent. The second linearly independent solution is then found to be the Bessel function of the second kind, as discussed below.\n\n\nBessel's integrals\n\nAnother definition of the Bessel function, for integer values of α, is possible using an integral equation:\n\n J_\alpha (x) = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \cos (\alpha \tau - x \sin \tau) d\tau.\n\n(For the full expression for real values of α, see Abramowitz and Stegun (1972) page 360)\n\nThis is the approach that Bessel used, and from this definition he derived several properties of the function.
