are porcupines only covered in spines at the back of there body?

Introduction \n \n New World porcupines (family Erethizontidae) \n \n Old World porcupines (family Hystricidae) \n \n \n \n \n Print this Table of Contents \n \n porcupine\nEncyclopædia Britannica Article \n \n Page 2 of 3 \n \n \n \nNew World porcupines (family Erethizontidae)\nThe North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) is the largest species in the family, usually weighing less than 7 kg (15.4 pounds) though males occasionally grow significantly larger. Its body is up to 80 cm (31 inches) long, with a tail up to 30 cm. Both are covered with a total of 30,000 or more hollow quills. On the ground the porcupine ambles along and cannot jump; in the trees it climbs slowly but has excellent balance; in the water it swims well. When approached, the animal presents its rear. If attacked, it will drive its powerful, muscular tail against the assailant. Fishers, however, are able to prey upon porcupines by attacking their underside; bobcats and wolverines also are known to hunt porcupines successfully. \n\n\n\n\nThe North American porcupine inhabits forests, including wooded areas along rivers in tundra, grassland, and desert regions. Its range extends from Canada to northern Mexico, although it is absent from the southeastern United States. It is sometimes seen during the day, and it is the only New World porcupine that is terrestrial as well as arboreal. It will roost in trees but also dens in hollow trees, logs, or stumps, in addition to caves, rock crevices, burrows, or snowbanks. Individuals living in coniferous forests spend much time on the ground. Those living in deciduous and mixed forests, however, are more often seen in the trees, which are their source of food. During spring and summer, their diet includes buds, twigs, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, berries, seeds, and nuts. In winter, evergreen needles and the cambium layer and inner bark of trees become important sources of food. Bones and antlers are gnawed upon for calcium and other minerals. Although porcupines do not hibernate during the winter, they remain in their dens during especially cold or inclement weather. They are generally solitary but sometimes den in groups. \n\nAll other New World porcupines are arboreal, living in tropical forests from southern Mexico to South America. Their muzzles are large and rounded. The stump-tailed porcupine, Echinoprocta rufescens, is one of the smallest at 37 cm plus a short tail. New World porcupines primarily eat fruit at night and rest during the day in hollow trees or crouch on branches or in tangles of woody vines. Their digits bear long, curved claws, and most species have long, muscular tails that can be curled upward and twisted around branches. Further improving the tail's grip are stiff bristles on the lower surface of the tail's tip (the upper surface is hairless). Still, like their northern relative, these tropical porcupines move slowly and are unable to jump, so they must descend to the ground to cross gaps between trees. The hollow quills of New World porcupines are sharp, stiff, and circular in cross section and have barbed tips. New World porcupines bear usually one young, sometimes two, after about 200 days' gestation.\n\n\n \n \nPrevious Page Page 2 of 3 Next Page \nIntroduction New World porcupines (family Erethizontidae) Old World porcupines (family Hystricidae) \n \n \nTo cite this page: \nMLA style: \n"porcupine."

I enjoy watching the Dallas Mavericks ,and I'm a huge fan,?

I dont know alot about Miami Heat ,what are the Mavericks up against?And in your opinion which teams the best,and why?

You want to know about the Heat, here goes...\n\nAt Center, Miami has the most dominant player since Wilt Chamberlain, if not ever. Shaq is 7 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 325lbs. He is on the decline of his career, but was an all NBA ist team selection this year nonetheless. Shaq averaged 20 points 9 and a half rebounds per game this year. (Career Worsts for Shaq) Shaq has Been to the Finals 5 times, 4 with \nthe Lakers, and 1 with the Orlando Magic. Shaq has 3 NBA titles, and he and Michael Jordan are the ONLY 2 players to ever win 3 Finals MVP awards in a row. \n\nDwyane Wade averaged 27.2 Points per game this year, 5th in the NBA. He also led miami in assists, and steals, and averaged about 5 rebounds per game. Wade is second in the NBA in free throws per game. He shot over 50% this year and over 70% during the first 5 games against the leagues best defense (Detroit). Wade has been compared to Michael Jordan all year long, and the Detroit Pistons agree that he is the BEST player in the league. He is Mr. 4th quarter. Late in the season, Wade showed what he is capable of. He scored 17 straight points against Detroit, including a game winning shot over Tayshaun Prince. Wade is unstoppable.\n\nAt power forward, Udonis Haslem, a Miami native that was drafted by the Heat in 03. Haslem is capable of putting up 15 points and 15 rebounds, but he often dissapears offensivley. He has a deadly 10-15 foot spot up jumpshot, and also scores a lot off of offensive rebounds. Haslem will have some trouble guarding Dirk, but Haslem is Miamis best chance of slowing the German superstar. Haslem is Miami's best offensive rebounder.\n\nAt small forward, Antoine Walker will start. He is a very streaky shooter, that loves to shoot the 3. If Walker gets hot, he is capable of hitting 6 or 7 threes on you. He is also capable of going 1-11 from three point range. Not a good defender, Walker has improved though. Towards the end of the year, his shot selection became better, and he improves with every game. Walker was a 20 ppg scorer with Boston, but in Miami, he is third fiddle, and feeds off of Shaq and D- Wade. \n\nJason Williams is the starting point guard, though late in games Pat Riley usually goes with Payton. Williams is a defensive liability, but offensively, he is Miami's fastest player, and is a great passer. Williams is capable of leading the team in scoring on a given night. He is possibly, the biggest reason Miami blew out Detroit in game 6.\n\nRESERVES-\nGary Payton- Perennial all star on the decline, at 6'4, he is taller, and a better defender than J Williams, and they split the minutes at point guard evenly. Payton is also D Wades backup at shooting guard. He is possibly Miamis best clutch player.\n\nAlonzo Mourning- Also a perennial all star on the decline, Mourning is minute for minute, the best low post defender in the NBA. People are scared to drive the lane against him. Alonzo is without a doubt, the best backup center in basketball, he is actually better than most starting centers.\n\nJames Posey- He is their 6'8 lock down defender, and best 3 point shooter. Posey will likely have to help against Dirk.\n\nThe rest- Doleac, a good third option at center.\nShanden Anderson, rarely used small forward, good defender. Derek Anderson, a capable scorer, but rarely plays. Wayne Simien, never plays. Jason Kapono, can shoot, never plays.\n\nPat Riley- Legendary coach, won 4 NBA titles. Brought Miami together for 1 goal this year NBA championship.\n\nMisc.- Miami destroyed this years best team, the Pistons, in 6 games. Dallas will be their toughest opponent, due to matchup problems. I dont think either team is that much better than the other, the winner will be the team that adjusts better to their matchup problems. Miami and Dallas are polar opposites, and this series should be very interesting.\n\nHope I answered your question.

Im visiting Japan what do I need to know.?

Im visiting Japan soon. What do I need to know about customs, the language, tradition, whats rude?\n\nIf there is also a website about this subject that you could direct me to that would be great!!!!!\n\nI dont know alot about there customs and I dont want to be rude while Im over there. Please help!!!

Right now I am currently living in japan. The Japanese are so nice and there is so much to see! Anyway here are some tips that can help you in saying japanese words and phrases. and i suggest you find this book because it has helped me and my husband so much with the language. the book is called "Japanese The Rough Guide Dictionary and Phrasebook" The great thing about this book is it shows you how to pronounce the words, just not the Japanese characters.\n\nPronouncation:\na as in rAther\ne as in bEd; e is always pronounced even at the end of a word\ni like the EE in fEEt, but slightly shorter\no as in nOt\nu as in pUt\nae seprate A followed by E, pronounced AH-EH\nai as in thai (thAI)\nei as in weight (wEIght)\nie seprate EE followed by E, pronounced EE-EH\nue seprate U followed by E, Pronounced OO-EH\ng hard G as in Girl\ns always as in maSS (never Z)\ny as in Yet\n\nalso the ing in japanese is pronounced more strongly that in english\n\nHere are some useful words you might want to know.\n\nbowl: chawan\nchopsticks: hashi\ndessert: dezato\nketchup: kechapp\nfried chicken (not breaded) : kroggy\nrice: gohan AND rais\ncheesebuger: chizbaga\nfrench fries: potetofrai\nwater: mizu\nCoke: cora or Cola\n\nyes: hai\nno: ie\nok: oke\nHello: konnichiwa\nhello (on phone): moshi moshi\ngood morning: ohayo gozaimas\ngood evening: komban wa\ngood night : osaki ni\ngoodbye : sayonara\nsee you later: ja, mata\nplease: onegai shimas\nthank you: arigato\ni dont understand: wakarimasen\ndo you speak english: eigo o hanasemas ka\ni dont speak japanese: nihongo wa hanasemasen\n\nI also suggest when you get to japan go eat at the curry house Coco Ichibanya that stuff is addictive, I just started eating it and I want it ever night almost! I suggest stick to the regular spice, because by the time you get in the middle of it you are going to drink the entire pitcher of water.\n\nAlso over here they drive on the other side of the road and they bow to say hello, i'm sorry and goodbye. the deeper the bow the more respect. \n\nOH!!! DO NOT PUT YOUR CHOPSTICKS STANDING UP THE BOWL OF RICE! Huge No-No! The Japanese do that out of mourning and don't use your chopsticks as tools to eat, like draging a bowl of shushi closer to you. also don't be afraid to pick up the bowl with both hands and eat to shovel it in. If you go into a Japanese home, take your shoes off inside and step right up onto the next step.\n\nHere are some websites i found that might help\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e638.html\nhttp://www.japaneselifestyle.com.au/culture/culture.html\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e622.html\nhttp://www.geocities.com/japanfaq/FAQ-Manners.html (Very good site)\nhttp://www.japan-zone.com/new/etiquette.shtml\n\nAnyway I hope that was a lot of help, if you want to do some more searching on your own i would suggest searching yahoo with "Japanese Etiquette"\n\nYou are going to love Japan, I have only been over here since April and I love it. I can't wait to get out more and see Japan. Oh some places I would suggest going to around Tokyo is Kamakura, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Roppongi Hills - Mori Tower, and The Tokyo Tower. \n\nHope you enjoy your trip!

I suggest stick to the regular spice, because by the time you get in the middle of it you are going to drink the entire pitcher of water.\n\nAlso over here they drive on the other side of the road and they bow to say hello, i'm sorry and goodbye. the deeper the bow the more respect. \n\nOH!!! DO NOT PUT YOUR CHOPSTICKS STANDING UP THE BOWL OF RICE! Huge No-No! The Japanese do that out of mourning and don't use your chopsticks as tools to eat, like draging a bowl of shushi closer to you. also don't be afraid to pick up the bowl with both hands and eat to shovel it in. If you go into a Japanese home, take your shoes off inside and step right up onto the next step.\n\nHere are some websites i found that might help\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e638.html\nhttp://www.japaneselifestyle.com.au/culture/culture.html\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/e/e622.html\nhttp://www.geocities.com/japanfaq/FAQ-Manners.html (Very good site)\nhttp://www.japan-zone.com/new/etiquette.shtml\n\nAnyway I hope that was a lot of help, if you want to do some more searching on your own i would suggest searching yahoo with "Japanese Etiquette"\n\nYou are going to love Japan, I have only been over here since April and I love it. I can't wait to get out more and see Japan. Oh some places I would suggest going to around Tokyo is Kamakura, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Roppongi Hills - Mori Tower, and The Tokyo Tower. \n\nHope you enjoy your trip!

what is the 'Song of Songs' mentioned in the Holy Bible?

its a poem about sexual love.\n\nthe first two chapters:\n\nChapter 1\n\n 1. The song of songs, which is Solomon's.\n 2. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.\n 3. Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.\n 4. Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.\n 5. I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.\n 6. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.\n 7. Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?\n 8. If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.\n 9. I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.\n 10. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.\n 11. We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.\n 12. While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.\n 13. A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.\n 14. My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.\n 15. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.\n 16. Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.\n 17. The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. \n\nChapter 2\n\n 1. I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.\n 2. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.\n 3. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.\n 4. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.\n 5. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.\n 6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.\n 7. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.\n 8. The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.\n 9. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.\n 10. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.\n 11. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;\n 12. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;\n 13. The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.\n 14. O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.\n 15. Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.\n 16. My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.\n 17. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

Modest dress?

We are told in Deuteronomy and I Tim to dress for our own gender, not like the opposite sex, and to dress modestly. And that showing the thigh makes us naked in the eyes of God. That said, why do men and women choose not to dress according to scripture, with women wearing pants/shorts (or anything with a crotch), and men become more effiminate with earrings and such. NO arguements or name calling please.

The issue of modest dress is unfortunately contested by people worldwide because of the mistakes surrounding the scripturally unsound errors about clothes in the modern world.\n\nWhat is defined as modest apparel? I will explain further what IS defined as modest apparel, friends. According to 1Tim 2:9, "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array."\n\nThis is defined the standard of modest apparel, my good friends. Rightly so, the Bible is scripturally sound on what is to be modest or costly. For instance, costly apparel would be defined as clothes that are provocative or tempting. A harlot's clothes would also fall into the category of costly apparel yet is brought into a negative light concerning the issue of whoredom which is not part of this topic. Forgive me, indie.\n\nFor modest clothing, it would define from those words in 1Tim 2:9, "... in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety;..." What then can be said from these words? It can only be said that the women (and men, yes) wear modest clothings WITH shamefacedness AND sobriety. That means in gender-specific issues of fashion on clothes, women must cover themselves from the head to the feet. For men, they must wear clothes from head to feet that neither tempt nor bring a woman to lust after him. If either gender lusts after one another, it is considered adultery. \n\nWhat then defines adultery? Let's look at Mat 5:28, "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."\n\nLust, after all, is the driving force that is in league with costly apparel. With the costly apparel displayed among women or men, it is rightly so that godly men and women, if not careful, would fall into temptation and seek wrongly the things of the world. So adultery is defined in both the physical as well as the mental boundaries of lust.\n\nLet's look at other verses in Deuteronomy that will shed some light on modest apparel, shall we?\n\nLet's consider firstly the issue of cross-dressers, which is considered an abomination unto the Lord God. Why is it considered an abomination by God? In Deuteronomy 22:5, "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."\n\nThe Lord God has said it is an abomination to gender-specific people to wear the opposite clothes. No man can wear a woman's clothes as a woman cannot wear a man's clothes. But, we did not shed some light on modest apparel, did we?\n\nThis may shed light concerning the issue of costly vs. modest. The issue of the women who are pulling their clothes' skirt line high up the thigh is considered nudity before God. With the world being conformed and catered to special interests as well as the delights of the world, take a look here at Isa 47:2-3, "...bare the leg, uncover the thigh.... Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man."\n\nSo if a woman revealed her thighs by buying costly apparel and tempting men to lust after her, this would be screaming full of shame. God has said uncover the thigh and it is declared nudity, the bare flesh of a woman or man revealed to others.\n\nHe has also said vengeance willl not be visited by God as a man. This could mean various but dreadful scenarios for women or men who may already have been in trouble without them realizing it. When men are tempted easily enough to find her pleasant and think of carnal desire, there's no question there will be something happening.\n\nAccording to Psalm 31, there are words about coverings. This would also detail modest apparel. A woman is covering her entire body not because of t

Comment fabriquer une balance ou un piège à crabes pour les attraper ?

Pour les crabes ou petits crustacés, on peut simplement utiliser un bouteille d'eau minérale dont on coupe le goulot, que l'on réintroduit dans la bouteille en sens inverse. On place un appât dans le piège, le piège dans l'aquarium et on attend. J'ai utilisé cette méthode pour capturer de petits crustacés (environ 3mm) ultra-rapide, de forme longiligne, que soupçonnais d'être des petits gonodactylus. Il semble que, d'après divers messages postés par des gens qui ont essayé, cette méthode ne fonctionne pas très bien pour les crabes.\n\nPour mieux fonctionner, le piège appâté doit être introduit peu de temps avant l'extinction des lumières. Le lendemain, retirer le piège, même s'il est vide (il doit rester l'appât) pour éviter de polluer le bac. \n\nIl ne vous reste plus qu'à recommencer l'opération jusqu'à ce que vous ayez retiré les intrus.\n\nPour les gonodactylus, c'est particulier. Ces animaux étant d'un intelligence remarquable, cette solution peut ne pas être efficace. En tout cas, avec ces bêtes-la, il est inutile d'essayer de piéger un individu avec une méthode qu'il a réussi à esquiver. Il ne se fera pas reprendre.\n\nPour capturer des vers carnivores, une autre idée de piège, lue dans "Reef Aquarium" consiste à utiliser un tube PVC que l'on bouche avec des embouts démontables. On perce le tube de PVC de trous de petit diamètre, juste assez gros pour y laisser entrer les vers que l'on veut capturer. On appâte le soir juste avant l'extinction des feux. Les vers gourmands entrent dans le tube par les petits orifices. Après s'être gavés, ils ne peuvent plus en ressortir. Le lendemain matin, vous retirez les pièges et les videz dans un récipient.\n\nLe 27 et 28/7/98, j'ai eu l'occasion de tester cette méthode. En effet, j'ai découvert un ver de feu (poilu sur les côtés) qui se baladait au milieu des pierres vivantes. Il était de mettre "mes conseils" en pratique. Pour remplacer le tube PVC, j'ai utilisé une bouteille d'eau minérale ne plastique (petit modèle 33cl). Je l'ai percée de multiples trous de 4mm de diamètre. \n\nLe piége préparé, il ne restait plus qu'a l'appâter. J'ai ouvert le congélateur et pris de la chair de poisson congelée (nourriture que j'avais achetée et que mes habitants n'apprécient pas du tout). Je place le morceau de poisson dans le piège, place le piège juste à côté de la pierre (du trou même) ou était le ver et j'attend. Quelques heures après : rien !! Le lendemain : RIEN !!!\n \n \nArgh, le piège à trou ce n'est vraiment pas efficace. Le lendemain en rentrant chez moi, j'observe le bac. Il est encore la, étendu de tout son long sur la pierre. Il me nargue le coquin. Je tente la pince à épiler. Dès que je m'approche, il rentre dans la pierre (sale bête).

Comment fabriquer une balance ou un piège à crabes pour les attraper ?Pour les crabes ou petits crustacés, on peut simplement utiliser un bouteille d'eau minérale dont on coupe le goulot, que l'on réintroduit dans la bouteille en sens inverse. On place un appât dans le piège, le piège dans l'aquarium et on attend. J'ai utilisé cette méthode pour capturer de petits crustacés (environ 3mm) ultra-rapide, de forme longiligne, que soupçonnais d'être des petits gonodactylus. Il semble que, d'après divers messages postés par des gens qui ont essayé, cette méthode ne fonctionne pas très bien pour les crabes.\n\nPour mieux fonctionner, le piège appâté doit être introduit peu de temps avant l'extinction des lumières. Le lendemain, retirer le piège, même s'il est vide (il doit rester l'appât) pour éviter de polluer le bac. \n\nIl ne vous reste plus qu'à recommencer l'opération jusqu'à ce que vous ayez retiré les intrus.\n\nPour les gonodactylus, c'est particulier. Ces animaux étant d'un intelligence remarquable, cette solution peut ne pas être efficace. En tout cas, avec ces bêtes-la, il est inutile d'essayer de piéger un individu avec une méthode qu'il a réussi à esquiver. Il ne se fera pas reprendre.\n\nPour capturer des vers carnivores, une autre idée de piège, lue dans "Reef Aquarium" consiste à utiliser un tube PVC que l'on bouche avec des embouts démontables. On perce le tube de PVC de trous de petit diamètre, juste assez gros pour y laisser entrer les vers que l'on veut capturer. On appâte le soir juste avant l'extinction des feux. Les vers gourmands entrent dans le tube par les petits orifices. Après s'être gavés, ils ne peuvent plus en ressortir. Le lendemain matin, vous retirez les pièges et les videz dans un récipient.\n\nLe 27 et 28/7/98, j'ai eu l'occasion de tester cette méthode. En effet, j'ai découvert un ver de feu (poilu sur les côtés) qui se baladait au milieu des pierres vivantes. Il était de mettre "mes conseils" en pratique. Pour remplacer le tube PVC, j'ai utilisé une bouteille d'eau minérale ne plastique (petit modèle 33cl). Je l'ai percée de multiples trous de 4mm de diamètre. \n\nLe piége préparé, il ne restait plus qu'a l'appâter. J'ai ouvert le congélateur et pris de la chair de poisson congelée (nourriture que j'avais achetée et que mes habitants n'apprécient pas du tout). Je place le morceau de poisson dans le piège, place le piège juste à côté de la pierre (du trou même) ou était le ver et j'attend. Quelques heures après : rien !! Le lendemain : RIEN !!!\n \n \nArgh, le piège à trou ce n'est vraiment pas efficace. Le lendemain en rentrant chez moi, j'observe le bac. Il est encore la, étendu de tout son long sur la pierre. Il me nargue le coquin. Je tente la pince à épiler. Dès que je m'approche, il rentre dans la pierre (sale bête). Décidé à m'en débarasser, je retente le piège mais cette fois-ci avec un appât qui pue bien. La chair de poisson c'était presque inodore. Et comme je suppose que le ver se guide à l'odeur de la bouffe, je tente le tubifex en cube congelé. Un truc infâme, qui fouette bien.

Does anyone know where we go when we die?

When you Die you sleep until Jesus returns\n\nA lot of Christians are sayin that the soul can’t die but what does God say\n\nBehold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Ezekiel 18:4\n\n\nAre we immortal?\n\nWhich God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see.

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. John 11:11-14\nMatthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose\n1 Thessalonians 4:15 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.\n1 Thessalonians 4:14 Them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.\nIf we look at what Jesus said on the cross in Luke 23:43\nAnd Jesus said to him, Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.\n\nMany use this to prove the point that we go directly to our reward. The problem is in the Greek there was not a comma, the comma was placed centuries later by people who believed that we go directly to our reward. If you move the comma it conforms to the rest of scripture\n\nAnd Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you today, you will be with Me in Paradise.”\n\nRead on and Jesus tells Mary he did not ascend to heaven yet.\n\n\nBut doesn’t the Bible say to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord?\n\nAs I mentioned above the Bible says we do not go directly to heaven or hell.

Are there real DSA opps out there, esp. drop ship, where one can honestly earn $500- 2000 a month part-time?

I tried Weekenders, but they changed the clothes and I wasn’t interested anymore. Some styles I like but not that many.\nI also HATE the process of returns. (who doesn't right?)\nAlso, a company that doesn't have 12 reps in my neighborhood might be a better choice than one that did!\nAlso, I LOVE the idea of selling what I LOVE, but HATE the idea of building a team. (I'm into selling, not recruiting so much.) Help?\nHealth foods interests me; reading; not cheap jewelry; not home furnishings (more fun to shop for these, isn't it?).\nIs it possible to make money at these ventures?

It is absolutely possible. However the DS field is like any business start up, you just have a smaller start up investment because you don't have overhead. People who come into DS thinking they will be making $500+ PT or $1000+ FT, per month need to realize it does involve work and it can take a lot of time to get there. Just as if you opened a brand new store in your local shopping center.\n\nYou must get customers, you must get risidual sales through repeat customers, etc.\n\nFrom the Standpoint of the Company-\n\nYou need a company that doesn't tie your hands. One that allows you to use the company name, one that allows you to sell not only at parties but one on one sales, craft fairs, website, etc. Where you don't have to have a minimum to place the order.\n\nYou need a company that makes it easy for your customers to reorder from you or your website. Where they can shop easily from your website without having to register, etc. That is the first thing that pushes me away from a company site, if they want all my info just so I can see the products.\n\nYou need a company that provides training and support and DOESN'T charge you for it! Convention is one thing, but local training materials, online training, etc. You should never have to pay for a meeting. You are earning them money, therefore your training should be included.\n\nYou need a company with an adequate clear cut compensation plan, that has a COMPANY PAID hostess program, and that pays you based on your sales. (There are some that won't send you a commission check until you reach a certain sales amount, ridiculous!)\n\nYou need a company that is with the DSA. That is for sure!\n\nFrom the Standpoint on the Rep/Consultant-\n\nYou need to recognize that it will take work building a business. You have to get customers, they rarely fall into your lap. You have to be willing to open your mouth everywhere you go that you have this business.\n\nWhile a bigger company with 12 reps in your neighborhood may be a saturated market, a company that is just starting out brings it's own obstacles. There is no name recognition, no history, etc. Therefore you do work a little harder to get the name out there and build your customer base.\n\nYou have to realize that this is commission based, you get money on what you sell. This is completely up to you! You know your demographic, what is going to sell better? High priced items or affordable items? It is important to sell what you love, but if everyone you know loves something else well then sometimes we make compromises. LOL. What do they buy, what do they like and from there what interests you as well. Find that middle ground.\n\nAccess additional training on your own, there are plenty of successful DSers who have written books that are a wealth of knowledge.\n\nGet out and mix it up. Go to networking parties, donate products to charity raffles/drives, talk to organizations about how you can provide favors or door prizes, etc.\n\nRemember most importantly this is a business investment. It WILL cost you money to get started. Most new businesses don't hit the black until their first 3-5 years have passed. If you are careful HOW you spend you can see profit fast than that in the DS field. \n\nDon't get caught up in the hype that you need tons of this and that from the companies that sell to the DSers. You need product to show, catalogs, business cards, labels or stamps with your info for your paperwork, order forms, samples (maybe) ... just the basics. You don't need personalized money bags, you don't need pens with cute pics on them related to your biz, you don't need extra prizes, etc. Your company has probably paid quite a bit of money researching what info/literature/supplies you will need.\n\nAnd if you really want to make $ faster, then recruiting is the way to go. If you dont' want to recruit, it will take you longer to get to that financial goal. That

do birth control pills make u gain wieght?

im having them cz of irregular periods!

yes one of the complication is waigh gain\n\nWhat are the good points about the Pill?\n\nThe Pill has now been shown to have certain major health advantages:\n\n\nit abolishes period pain\n\n\nit makes periods shorter\n\n\nit makes them lighter.\n\n\nBecause of this, you are less likely to get anaemic.\n\nIf you have acne, the Pill should improve it.\n\nIn addition, it decreases your chances of getting certain cancers (though it increases the risk of others). Please see the section on cancer, below.\n\nBut can’t it give you a lot of side effects when you start? During the first few packs of the Pill, many women get minor, passing side effects, such as:\n\n\nheadaches\n\n\nnausea\n\n\nbreast tenderness\n\n\nslight weight gain\n\n\nslight ‘spotting’ of blood between the periods. \n\n\nThese side-effects usually go away after the first few packs. If they don’t, it’s very easy to get rid of them by simply switching to another brand of the 23 available brands of Pill.\n\n(For a full list of possible side-effects, see the package leaflet.)\n\nWhat about serious side-effects, like thrombosis?\n\nThere is no doubt at all that the Pill can occasionally cause serious problems like:\n\n\ndeep vein thrombosis (DVT) or clotting\n\n\nheart attacks \n\n\nstrokes.\n\n\nFortunately, these events are very rare. BUT ... they are much more likely to happen if you have certain ‘risk factors,’ which include:\n\n\nbeing a smoker \n\n\nhaving a bad family history of thrombosis or some similar illness (say, if your mother had a heart attack at 40)\n\n\nbeing severely overweight \n\n\nbeing diabetic (though quite a few non-smoking diabetics do use the Pill, under careful supervision)\n\n\nhaving high blood pressure \n\n\nhaving a high blood cholesterol level (hypercholesterolaemia) \n\n\na ‘past history’ of phlebitis (vein inflammation) or thrombophlebitis\n\n\nbeing immobile for a while (especially when having a surgical operation).\n\n\nThere are other ‘risk factors’ – for instance, making a very long journey in a plane or a cramped car seat. Your doctor or Family Planning nurse can give you more details.\n\n\nVaricose veins\n\nA lot of people (including some doctors) have the idea that ‘you can’t take the Pill if you have varicose veins'. This isn’t true. \n\nHowever, in recent years it has become clear that severe problems with varicose veins are a contraindication to the Pill. \n\nBut if you just have mild and superficial varicose veins, it is quite likely that your doctor will be willing to prescribe a low-dose Pill for you – provided that you have no other risk factors.\n\n\nMigraine\n\nIn 2004, new research showed that women who have severe migraine and who also use the Pill run an unacceptable risk of having a stroke.\n\nI’m not talking about people who have an occasional slight headache, like we all do. But if you have genuine migraine attacks – particularly migraines with ‘aura’ affecting your eyesight – then in my opinion you shouldn’t be on the Pill. \n\n\nDoes age make a difference?\n\nYes. The Pill is extraordinarily safe for young women in their teens or 20s who have no ‘risk factors’ (such as smoking). But when you get to the age of 35 or 40, the chances of having a thrombosis (clot) are starting to increase.\n\nIn practice, there are plenty of women of 40 who take the Pill. But as the years go by, there is more and more reason to switch to the mini-Pill, or to some other method of contraception, such as sterilisation and vasectomy for men. \n\nWhat about cancer?\n\n \nDid you know?\n\nThe Pill can increase the risk of some cancers and reduce the risk of others. Ask your doctor for advice. \n \n \nThe Pill does affect your risk of certain types of cancer, and when you first decide to go on it, you should be told about this. \n\nBut it’s important for you to realise that the Pill actually reduces your chances of getting some cancers – while it increases the risk of others.

That's a good question. And an easy one to answer. The single most important, vital thing to do is to just talk about this stuff.\nNot online, but in the real world. With family, and friends, and co-workers, etc. Even though the Zogby poll shows that a full 50% of Americans believe that something very, very wrong has happened in this country on and since 9/11, it's still a very, very hard thing for people to talk about. The media has people so well conditioned to accept the official line on things and denounce everything else as "wack job conspiracy" that people are afraid to speak their mind. If all of this stuff simply came out of the back closets and internet chat rooms and quiet whispers, and instead was discussed at the family dinner table, or Starbucks, or in classrooms, or at cafeteria tables, etc., we'd be in infinitely better shape. It doesn't take long. I'd suggest that people call into their local radio morning shows on the way to work or school, write a quick letter to the editor of your local newspaper, give a presentation in class, etc. Simple little things like that go a long, long way, and they take very little time.\n\nIt take only ten minutes to write a letter to an editor of your newspaper, but that letter can be seen by thousands of people, especially if you live in a big city. But again, the single most important thing is to talk about these things. Talking has the ability to make things real and concrete. It's not an easy subject to talk about, believe me I know, but you'd be shocked as to how many people are already harboring the exact same feelings and doubts inside. If it becomes part of regular discourse EVERYWHERE, than the talking-heads and mass media can longer pretend like it's some kind of a minority belief, especially when all polls show that it's the majority opinion. It genuinely seems like things are getting urgent. If everyone puts 10 minutes a day into discussing the harsh reality of what's going on in America, there can be a HUGE difference made - massive. What's happening in this country simply COULDN'T happen if Americans didn't sit idly by and let it get worse by the day.\n\nRome fell because its people were too soft and unmotivated to stand up for themselves and instead trusted that someone else was taking care of their problems.\n\nAnd America succeeded 230 years ago because citizens took action themselves.\n\nGod Help America.

i want to know more about melchizedek ?

i know he lived a clean live what more do you want to explain for me ?help me help you

MELCHIZEDEK\n\n(Mel·chiz´e·dek) [King of Righteousness].\n\nKing of ancient Salem and “priest of the Most High God,” Jehovah. (Ge 14:18, 22) He is the first priest mentioned in the Scriptures; he occupied that position sometime prior to 1933 B.C.E. Being the king of Salem, which means “Peace,” Melchizedek is identified by the apostle Paul as “King of Peace” and, on the basis of his name, as “King of Righteousness.” (Heb 7:1, 2) Ancient Salem is understood to have been the nucleus of the later city of Jerusalem, and its name was incorporated in that of Jerusalem, which is sometimes referred to as “Salem.”—Ps 76:2.\n\nAfter Abram (Abraham) defeated Chedorlaomer and his confederate kings, the patriarch came to the Low Plain of Shaveh or “the king’s Low Plain.” There Melchizedek “brought out bread and wine” and blessed Abraham, saying: “Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, Producer of heaven and earth; and blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered your oppressors into your hand!” At that Abraham gave the king-priest “a tenth of everything,” that is, of “the chief spoils” he had acquired in his successful warfare against the allied kings.—Ge 14:17-20; Heb 7:4.\n\nChrist’s Priesthood Typified. In a notable Messianic prophecy the sworn oath of Jehovah to David’s “Lord” is: “You are a priest to time indefinite according to the manner of Melchizedek!” (Ps 110:1, 4) This inspired psalm gave the Hebrews reason to regard the promised Messiah as the one in whom the office of priest and king would be combined. The apostle Paul, in the letter to the Hebrews, removed any doubt about the identity of the one foretold, speaking of “Jesus, who has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.”—Heb 6:20; 5:10; see COVENANT.\n\nDirect appointment. Jehovah evidently appointed Melchizedek to be a priest. In discussing Jesus’ status as the great High Priest, Paul showed that a man does not take the honor “of his own accord, but only when he is called by God, just as Aaron also was.” He also explained that “the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by him who spoke with reference to him: ‘You are my son; I, today, I have become your father,’” and the apostle next applies the prophetic words of Psalm 110:4 to Jesus Christ.—Heb 5:1, 4-6.\n\n‘Received tithes from Levi.’ Melchizedek’s priestly status was not linked with the priesthood of Israel, and as the Scriptures point out, it was higher than the Aaronic priesthood. One factor indicating this is the deference accorded to Melchizedek by Abraham, the forefather of the entire nation of Israel, including the priestly tribe of Levi. Abraham, “Jehovah’s friend,” who became “the father of all those having faith” (Jas 2:23; Ro 4:11), gave a tenth, or a “tithe,” to this priest of the Most High God. Paul shows that the Levites collected tithes from their brothers, who also issued from the loins of Abraham. However, he points out that Melchizedek “who did not trace his genealogy from them took tithes from Abraham,” and “through Abraham even Levi who receives tithes has paid tithes, for he was still in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met him.” Thus, though the Levitical priests received tithes from the people of Israel, they, as represented in their ancestor Abraham, paid tithes to Melchizedek. Furthermore, the superiority of Melchizedek’s priesthood is shown in that he blessed Abraham, Paul pointing out that “the less is blessed by the greater.” Such factors are among those making Melchizedek a suitable type of the great High Priest Jesus Christ.—Heb 7:4-10.\n\nNo predecessors or successors. Paul clearly indicates that perfection was unattainable through the Levitical priesthood, thus necessitating the appearance of a priest “according to the manner of Melchizedek.” He points out that Christ sprang from Juda

what is the difference between Mormenism and other forms of Christianity?

Here is a brief outline of the differences\n\nI. The Uniqueness of God\n\nMormon – \n•"The doctrine of a plurality of Gods is prominent in the Bible. The heads of the Gods appointed our God for us...you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves...the same as all Gods have done before you" (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.370-372, 346).\n•"And they said, 'Let there be light'...And the Gods pronounced the dry land...And the Gods organized the earth...And the Gods planted a garden in Eden" (Pearl of Great Price, Abraham 4:3,10,25; 5:8).\n•"as the Prophet [Joseph Smith] also taught, 'there is a God above the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ'" (Mormon Doctrine, p.322, 1966).\n\nBible – \n•“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him.” (Deut. 4:35)\n•“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44:6)\n•“Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” (Isaiah 43:10)\n•“For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself.” (Hebrews 6:13)\n\nNote: In Genesis Chapter 1, God does refer to himself in the plural, which is consistent with the doctrine of the Trinity.\n\nII. The Humanity of God\n\nMormon –\n•"As man is, God once was: as God is, man may be" (Lorenzo Snow, Millennial Star, vol.54).\n•"I will prove that the world is wrong, by showing what God is...God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret...I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see" (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.345);\n•"God is not omnipresent...cannot be physically present in more than one place at a time"; "If God possesses a form, that form is of necessity of definite proportions, and therefore of limited extension and space. It is impossible for Him to occupy at one time more than one space of such limits" (Talmage, A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.43,48).\n\nBible –\n•“…for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee” (Hosea 11:9)\n•“God is not man, that he should lie” (Numbers 23:19)\n•“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” (Psalm 90:2)\n•“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house I have built?” (1 Kings 8:27)\n\nIII. The Virgin Birth\n\nMormon –\n•"When the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness.

what is the difference between Mormenism and other forms of Christianity?Here is a brief outline of the differences\n\nI. The Uniqueness of God\n\nMormon – \n•"The doctrine of a plurality of Gods is prominent in the Bible. The heads of the Gods appointed our God for us...you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves...the same as all Gods have done before you" (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.370-372, 346).\n•"And they said, 'Let there be light'...And the Gods pronounced the dry land...And the Gods organized the earth...And the Gods planted a garden in Eden" (Pearl of Great Price, Abraham 4:3,10,25; 5:8).\n•"as the Prophet [Joseph Smith] also taught, 'there is a God above the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ'" (Mormon Doctrine, p.322, 1966).\n\nBible – \n•“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him.” (Deut. 4:35)\n•“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44:6)\n•“Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” (Isaiah 43:10)\n•“For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself.” (Hebrews 6:13)\n\nNote: In Genesis Chapter 1, God does refer to himself in the plural, which is consistent with the doctrine of the Trinity.\n\nII. The Humanity of God\n\nMormon –\n•"As man is, God once was: as God is, man may be" (Lorenzo Snow, Millennial Star, vol.54).\n•"I will prove that the world is wrong, by showing what God is...God himself was once as we are now and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret...I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see" (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.345);\n•"God is not omnipresent...cannot be physically present in more than one place at a time"; "If God possesses a form, that form is of necessity of definite proportions, and therefore of limited extension and space. It is impossible for Him to occupy at one time more than one space of such limits" (Talmage, A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.43,48).\n\nBible –\n•“…for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee” (Hosea 11:9)\n•“God is not man, that he should lie” (Numbers 23:19)\n•“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” (Psalm 90:2)\n•“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house I have built?” (1 Kings 8:27)\n\nIII. The Virgin Birth\n\nMormon –\n•"When the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost" (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol.1, p.50).\n•"Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers" (Mormon Doctrine, p. 547, 1979)\n\nBible –\n•“When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 1:18)\n•“Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1: 34-35)\n\nIV. Deity of the Son\n\nMormon –\n•"Three separate personages - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost - comprise the

why do some Christians keep the Jewish Sabbath?

This is a VERY IMPORTANT subject I know it is long, but PLEASE read it\n\n\nA challenge where in the Bible does it call Sunday the New Sabbath? search the scriptures you will not find it\n\n\nWas the Sabbath created by God on Mt. Sinai?\n\nAnd on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11\n\n\nBut we don’t really know which day is the seventh?\n\nIt is highly unlikely that the entire Jewish community forgot which day was their Holy day.\n\nWhich day is the seventh day?\n\nSaturday : the seventh day of the week\n-Webster’s Dictionary\n\n\nAre there other examples of God emphasizing the Sabbath?\n\nHe said to them, "This is what the LORD commanded: 'Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Exodus 16:23 \n\nAnd the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, for that the LORD hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the seventh day. Exodus 16:28-30\nBoth of these examples are before Mt. Sinai and the 10 commandments. \nSpeak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Exodus 30:13\n\n\nI am a Christian and I want to follow Christ. Did Jesus keep the Sabbath?\n\nHe went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. Luke 4:16\n\nGoing on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" Matthew 12:9,10\n\nThey went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. Mark 1:21\n\nWhen the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. Mark 6:2 \n\nHe went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.

Is this the democrats agenda?

Ok I'm a conservative, a Republican, and I don't much care for the democrats. But in a nut shell are these the agenda items of the democratic party - and if so will they run on them?\n\n1) Raise taxes on the wealthy - will they define wealthy?\n2) Regulate industry - but cry about them shipping jobs overseas?\n3) Spend more on education - what will we get? \n4) Spend more on health care - what will we get?\n5) Give amnesty to 12 million illegal immgrants?\n6) Allow gays to marry?\n7) Start a national flag burning holiday (ok I'll quit the sarcasm)\n8) End the war in Iraq? What that will mean they don't know?\n9) Get Osama? How I'd like to know.\n10) Give all terrorist OJ type trials in American courts? \n11) What did I miss?

It's a long list dude. \n\n1. Raise taxes - hell yes. However, I'm not talking about Estate taxes. I would stop all the tax cutting, because eventually we are going to end up having to dramatically raise taxes because all the money you good Republicans are spending. That being said, increase the rate at which your salary is taxed for Social Security. I would raise it from $90,000 to $200,000.- This alone would do wonders for Social Security. (of course you probably hate Social Security - so I am sure I lost you on that one.)\n\n2. Regulate industry -- who democrat or republican is doing that. I am a Liberal Democrat but I would axe NAFTA tomorrow. And I would level the playing field with significant tariffs on foreign companies that do not meet the OSHA or EPA requirements that their US counterparts are forced to meet. The EU can make us all go lead-free or become ISO certified, so we need to be more aggressive there as well. Jobs are leaving this country...make no mistake about it. Eventually we will be a low cost region...so they might come back.\n\n3. I am a Liberal but I am sick to death of hearing that we have to spend more on education. In Tennessee the governor put ads on TV telling Tennesseans that their education system was worse than anybody but maybe Mississippi. The truth is that the Tennessee schools are pretty darn good. My kids have been in Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Illinois schools. And everyone of those states wants more and more money for education. We need to fix the system so that more money goes to teachers and less to administrators who don't really add any value. Let's Six Sigma their butts out of the way. Are you with me?\n\n4. Health Care - National Health Care baby. But first Liberals and Conservatives have to come up with tort reform that makes sense. I would have private health care providers bid regionally for the contracts to provide health care to all Americans. Your company would take your premium the same way they do today and send it on to the government - approved private provider. The government will then match the amount. You are covered now and always. And your company is free from the burden of health care costs. This would help retain jobs in the US and attract more.\n\n5. NO amnesty. Build the wall and do it now. Stop the flow inbound and then give all illegals 90 days to apply for a special Mexican-American Worker's visa which allows these people to stop stealing our Social Security numbers. We can't possibly round up all these people, but we can damn sure stop their cousins from joining them. Are you with me on this one?\n\n6. Get over it. I can't stand all the gay crap either, but they are entitled to live their life as they choose. I don't mind them coming out of the closet...just get the hell out of my living room ok?? Give us homophobes some space. And then do you own thing. Cool..\n\n7. Cut it out man. I love my nation's flag as much as any conservative.\n\n8. Hell yes, end the war. Be like the republicans of old and leave the boys in power who can control these ignorant people. When did conservatives become Liberals with all this spreading freedom garbage. Be pragmatic again...please. No more American blood for a people who just don't deserve another drop. If they want democracy let them bleed for it.\n\n9. Yes. Acutally make it a priority and you'll get him. Hell we got Geronimo and Osama is no where near his league.\n\n10. Be an American and give them due process either as criminals or as P.O.W.'s. And don't torture and embarras my country ever again.\n\n11. A lot actually.

in the song your so vein who is carly simon talking about.?

in the 70's pop song "YOUR SO VEIN " who is carly simon talking about?

In the song "You're So Vain" Carly Simon is allegedly talking about Warren Beatty. Mick Jagger sang back-up vocals.\n\nHere some excerpts from Carly Simon's website that may not solve the mystery, although she does admit it's a LITTLE BIT about Warren Beatty.\n\nThe Washington Post - 1983\nWP: Who was ‘You’re So Vain about? Mick Jagger?\nCarly: No.\nWP: Warren Beatty?\nCarly: It certainly sounds like it was about Warren Beatty. He certainly thought it was about him - he called me and said thanks for the song….\nWP: You had gone with him?\nCarly: Hasn’t everybody?\nWP: No.\nCarly: That only means you haven’t met him, though at the time I met him he was still relatively undiscovered as a Don Juan. I felt I was one among thousands at that point – it hadn’t reached, you know, the populations of small countries….\n\nFAME - 1989 \nFor the record, Simon acknowledges the song is a little about Beatty; it's a composite of three men from her L.A. days. Warren, it seems, was not a particularly good boyfriend. "And I never took him seriously," she says. "He was great fun and very, very, bright. But noooo ... as a boyfriend. \n\nA lot of women like somebody who's that smooth. In the beginning Warren was pretty good at pretending he was only smooth on the outside and a bowl of jelly on the inside. But he doesn't do that secondary act very well now." Carly Simon\n\nVH1 - One to One - 1990\nCarly Simon: "People have been questioning for a long time, who it's about - I mean, who I wrote the song about. It always strikes me as funny. That people would be THAT into what I was thinking about, that's the greatest ego trip anybody could have....that they would be THAT interested in what you were thinking about when you wrote a song. And for that very reason, of course, I can never give it away."\n\nThis Morning - 1995\nMark McEwen: How did you get Mick Jagger to sing on You're So Vain?\nCarly: I guess it was kind of chance in a way. I was in London, it was 1972 and he happened to call at the studio while I was doing the background vocals with Harry Nilsson. Mick said "Hey, what cha doin'?" and I said "We're doing some backup vocals on a song of mine....why don't you come down and sing with us?"\n\nSo Mick and Harry and I stood around the mike singing you're so vain and Harry was such a gentleman - he knew the chemistry was between me and Mick; in terms of the singing, so he sort of bowed out saying "The two of you have a real blend - you should do it yourselves." \n\nAnd that's how it happened.\n\nMM: So, who is You're So Vain about?\n\nCarly: I don't know.\n\nMM: We've heard it was Warren Beatty. It was Mick Jagger. But you've never really said who it was.\n\nCarly: Yeah.\n\n\n\nCharlie Rose - May 2000\nCR: Tell us about You're So Vain\nCarly: Well, there was originally a song that had the melody of what is now You're So Vain, called Bless You Ben. It went "Bless you Ben, you came in, where nobody else left off.....There I was, by myself, hiding up in my loft"....\n\nIt never went anywhere, I could never fall in love with it. And then I was at a party and somebody walked in and my friend said to me "Doesn't he look like he's just walked on to a yacht?". So, I thought to myself - hmmm, let me write that in my notebook. \n\nAnd then one day, when I was playing Bless You Ben on the piano, I substituted "You walked into the party, like you were walking onto a yacht" and the exchange was equal. And it felt natural and it felt good and then I could get into that man, I knew who I was talking about.\nCR: Warren Beatty?\nCarly: Well.....not at all.\nCR: Not at all?\nCarly: Well, maybe a little bit.\nCR: Was it one man? Was it Warren or was it a composite for you?\nCarly: Most songs are a composite....most songs are.\nCR: Was this one?\nCarly: I don't

On evolution - Maybe you can ineract about this?

I believe that science have a way of answering questions in life, not just physical but also those which pertains to life and belief.\n\nThese are my questions regarding evolution:\n\n1. The first question is that do you believe in evolution?\n\n2. Next, if you believe in evolution, do you also believe in the Bible (eventhough you may not exactly believe in God - like non-christian beliefs)? -- Why not? You might have read other books and thinks that their contents are believable.\n\n3. Now this is my final question and postulate:\n\nIf you believe in the Bible therefore you believe in the "Great Flood"? (almost 4,000 years ago - according to the bible)\n\nThus, this great catastrophe would have destroyed every living things in earth that are not capable of breathing in water, save the family of Noah and only those creatures that were inside the Arc.\n\nThese would have refuted evolution since after that point of time only selected few lives were saved and there would have been a great extinction.

That response from gimpalomg was kinda disrespectful. Evolution is a waste of time. It tries to disprove something that cannot be disproved. Evolution is baseless, unfounded and a big scientific hoax to sway believers into thinking that science answers such questions. Evolution is circular reason. You say the earth couldn't possibly be 10000 years old max, I ask why, u'd probably bring up some evolution based theory that attemot to explain away the truth, which is the bible, but for now, I won't be forcing those doctrines down ur throat =D. \n\nThibnk about the bible for a second. The flood would explain so many things that science fails to answer such as the extinction of dinasuars, they're too big to fit on an arc. Bare in mind that dinasuars are simply reptiles we see tody except that everything had the ability to live longer, if you want to explore that theory look it up because I promised not to use circular reasoning. the flood would explain why fish remains are ound on every mountain peak. It would explain why there was a "nomadic" time period in that time. And sooo obvious to us, it would explain what the heck a huuuge arc is doing on mount Ararat, which by the way was picke dup by NASA satellites. It should be noted that the bible states that Noah's arc rested atop mount Ararat. \n\nLastly, Evolution should not be in text books. The theory is warped an d blown aout of proprtion. I believe there are six major theories that compose the entire science of evolution. Only 1 uno theory hasbeen proved. That theory is microevolution which states that some organisms have the power to make themselves evolve MINOR CHANGES i.e Darwin's discovery of natural selection (longer beaks vs. shorter beaks etc.). This is GREAT, sure, except that the other theories cannot be proven but some have been disproven, there's something they don't always include in text books. Macroevolution which is the level above Microevolution comprises of the theory that species make huge changes over time such as extra limbs, DNA changes etc, again, not proven, even disproven by "vestigial" organs... aren't we supposed to evolve by GAINING other parts, not losing them. Buut scioentiest insist on using vestigial organs as the tailbone... guess WHAT ppl, it's not vestigial; you try walking around without it then try calling ir vestigial ,it serves a purpose. &#92;\n\non to the whole age thing. The earth is more likely to be 10000 years max than millions. According to the evolutionary theory, dinasuars became extinct MILLIONS of years ago. How much time does it take for flesh to decompose? I'm thinking FAR less than a million years. Why then are red blood cells still being found in dinasuar remains? The best answer is that the earth could NEVER be nearly as old as we think it is. I also want to point out thaT the earth is usually dated by ratioactive dating, which, in itself, is VERY unreliable. Research Radioactive dating accuracy and find the fact. The dates are beyond the level of being off, scientists know this. All they do is find a formula which is closest to the actual date even if it is millions of years inaccurate. Don't believe me? Research it yourself. \n\nEvolution is something that has been put in textbooks to simply explain away religious doctrines they feel are impossible. If you do your research like I did, you will easly see that evolution is no more true than Roman mythology\n\nAnd one dangerous thing we seem to be doing. The bible is NOT all symbolic. That is REALLY dangerous. If i told u that the wings of the eagle stretched far beyond my reach then went on to recap yesterdays events, would you beleive that all of what I said was symbolic. How symbolic can anything be. The bible is literal at times.

did wilt Chamberlain ever really average 50ppg ?

Are those assumptions sufficient? And, … can it be proved?

Let us consider the equations \n\n X^2+pX+q=0 and\n X^2+pX-q=0 \n\nwhere p, q are integers, q<>0 and the solutions of each equation are integers. Prove that there are a, b integers such as p^2=a^2+b^2 (a<>0, b<>0).

Wow, what an interesting question. I'm surprised no one has solved it yet, but that may be a consequence of the fact that no one has understood it yet. Clearly, schools need to focus more on reading comprehension ^_^.\n\nTo answer your question - not only can we prove that there exist integers a and b satisfying your assumptions, but we can even show a method of finding them. The proof is long, so sit back, relax, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to read.\n\nFirst, consider that any solutions of these equations must obey the quadratic formula: x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a. Substituting the coefficients of the actual equations in, we find that the solutions of the first equation are (-p±√(p²-4q))/2 and the solutions of the second equation are (-p±√(p²+4q))/2. Let us consider only the greater of the solutions in each pair - that is, replace each ± with a +. The difference between these solutions is then (-p+√(p²-4q))/2 - (-p+√(p²+4q))/2. Call this number K. We can then perform some simple algebra as follows:\n\n(-p+√(p²-4q))/2 - (-p+√(p²+4q))/2=K\nmultiply both sides by 2 and simplify\n√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q)=2K\nsquare both sides\n(p²-4q) - 2√((p²-4q)(p²+4q)) + (p²+4q)=4K²\nsimplify\n2p²-2√(p^4-16q²)=4K²\ndivide both sides by 2\np²-√(p^4-16q²)=2K²\nsubtract 2K² and add √(p^4-16q²) to both sides\np²-2K²=√(p^4-16q²)\nsquare both sides\np^4-4K²p²+4K^4=p^4-16q²\nmultiply both sides by -1 and simplify\n16q²=4K²p²-4K^4\ndivide both sides by 4\n4q²=K²p²-K^4\nadd K^4 to both sides\nK^4+4q²=K²p²\ndivide both sides by K² and rearrange\np²=K²+4q²/K²\n\nThus, if we let a=K and b=2q/K, then p²=a²+b² as required by the problem. All that remains is to show that a and b are nonzero integers.\n\nLemma 1: K is an integer\nProof: All solutions of both quadratic equations are integers. K is the difference of two of these solutions - that is, K is the difference of two integers. Therefore, K is an integer.\n\nLemma 2: K is nonzero\nProof: K is the difference between a solution of the first equation and a solution of the second equation. Suppose K=0. Then these equations have a common solution - that is, for some x, x²+px+q=0=x²+px-q. This would imply that q=-q. This can only be true if q=0. But q≠0. Therefore, the equations do not have a common solution and K≠0.\n\nLemma 3: 2q/K is an integer\nProof: Earlier we showed that √(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q)=2K. We can perform some simple algebra as follows:\n\n√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q)=2K\nmultiply both sides by (√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q)) and simplify\n2K(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q)) = (p²-4q)-(p²+4q)\nsimplify further and rearrange:\n-8q=2K(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q))\ndivide both sides by -4:\n2q=-K(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q))/2\ndivide both sides by K:\n2q/K=-(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q))/2\n\nNote that 2K=√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q) Adding 2√(p²+4q) to both sides of that identity gives 2K+2√(p²+4q) = √(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q). We can then substitute to get:\n\n2q/K=-(2K+2√(p²+4q))/2\nSimplifying at last yields:\n2q/K=-K-√(p²+4q)\n\nWe already know K is an integer, so if √(p²+4q) is also an integer, then 2q/K is the difference of two integers and therefore an integer. Now we know that the solutions of the second equation are (-p+√(p²+4q))/2 and (-p-√(p²+4q))/2. The difference between them is √(p²+4q). However, since both of the solutions to the second equation are integers, their difference must be an integer. Therefore √(p²+4q) is an integer, and by extension, 2q/K is an integer. Q.E.D\n\nLemma 4: 2q/K is nonzero\nWe know 2q/k=-K-√(p²+4q). Suppose 2q/K=0. Then -K-√(p²+4q)=0 From this we would get:\n\n-K-√(p²+4q)=0\nadd K to both sides and rearrange:\nK=-√(p²+4q)\nmultiply both sides by 2\n2K=-2√(p²+4q)\nremembering 2K=√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q), we substitute:\n√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q)=-2√(p²+4q)\nadd √(p²+4q) to both sides and rearrange:\n-√(p²+4q)=√(p²-4q)\n\nHowever we specified in the beginning t

Are those assumptions sufficient? And, … can it be proved?Let us consider the equations \n\n X^2+pX+q=0 and\n X^2+pX-q=0 \n\nwhere p, q are integers, q<>0 and the solutions of each equation are integers. Prove that there are a, b integers such as p^2=a^2+b^2 (a<>0, b<>0).Wow, what an interesting question. I'm surprised no one has solved it yet, but that may be a consequence of the fact that no one has understood it yet. Clearly, schools need to focus more on reading comprehension ^_^.\n\nTo answer your question - not only can we prove that there exist integers a and b satisfying your assumptions, but we can even show a method of finding them. The proof is long, so sit back, relax, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to read.\n\nFirst, consider that any solutions of these equations must obey the quadratic formula: x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a. Substituting the coefficients of the actual equations in, we find that the solutions of the first equation are (-p±√(p²-4q))/2 and the solutions of the second equation are (-p±√(p²+4q))/2. Let us consider only the greater of the solutions in each pair - that is, replace each ± with a +. The difference between these solutions is then (-p+√(p²-4q))/2 - (-p+√(p²+4q))/2. Call this number K. We can then perform some simple algebra as follows:\n\n(-p+√(p²-4q))/2 - (-p+√(p²+4q))/2=K\nmultiply both sides by 2 and simplify\n√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q)=2K\nsquare both sides\n(p²-4q) - 2√((p²-4q)(p²+4q)) + (p²+4q)=4K²\nsimplify\n2p²-2√(p^4-16q²)=4K²\ndivide both sides by 2\np²-√(p^4-16q²)=2K²\nsubtract 2K² and add √(p^4-16q²) to both sides\np²-2K²=√(p^4-16q²)\nsquare both sides\np^4-4K²p²+4K^4=p^4-16q²\nmultiply both sides by -1 and simplify\n16q²=4K²p²-4K^4\ndivide both sides by 4\n4q²=K²p²-K^4\nadd K^4 to both sides\nK^4+4q²=K²p²\ndivide both sides by K² and rearrange\np²=K²+4q²/K²\n\nThus, if we let a=K and b=2q/K, then p²=a²+b² as required by the problem. All that remains is to show that a and b are nonzero integers.\n\nLemma 1: K is an integer\nProof: All solutions of both quadratic equations are integers. K is the difference of two of these solutions - that is, K is the difference of two integers. Therefore, K is an integer.\n\nLemma 2: K is nonzero\nProof: K is the difference between a solution of the first equation and a solution of the second equation. Suppose K=0. Then these equations have a common solution - that is, for some x, x²+px+q=0=x²+px-q. This would imply that q=-q. This can only be true if q=0. But q≠0. Therefore, the equations do not have a common solution and K≠0.\n\nLemma 3: 2q/K is an integer\nProof: Earlier we showed that √(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q)=2K. We can perform some simple algebra as follows:\n\n√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q)=2K\nmultiply both sides by (√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q)) and simplify\n2K(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q)) = (p²-4q)-(p²+4q)\nsimplify further and rearrange:\n-8q=2K(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q))\ndivide both sides by -4:\n2q=-K(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q))/2\ndivide both sides by K:\n2q/K=-(√(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q))/2\n\nNote that 2K=√(p²-4q)-√(p²+4q) Adding 2√(p²+4q) to both sides of that identity gives 2K+2√(p²+4q) = √(p²-4q)+√(p²+4q). We can then substitute to get:\n\n2q/K=-(2K+2√(p²+4q))/2\nSimplifying at last yields:\n2q/K=-K-√(p²+4q)\n\nWe already know K is an integer, so if √(p²+4q) is also an integer, then 2q/K is the difference of two integers and therefore an integer. Now we know that the solutions of the second equation are (-p+√(p²+4q))/2 and (-p-√(p²+4q))/2. The difference between them is √(p²+4q).

When shoudl Islam call for peace, and when should it call for war?

I have read the Quran thoroughly many times and I have found many verses that call for peace with non-muslims. I have also found many verses that call for war with non-muslims. I asked many Muslim scholars who said that the latter ones (that call for war) are only applicable in case of self-defence. However, in many of those latter verses, I could not find anything that limit the war to people who attack Muslims.\n\nDoes anyone know when should Muslim call for peace and when should they call for war? and what should be applicable in nowadays? Also, if teh verses that call for war are only applicable in case of self defence on Muslim state, how can we define a muslim state? is it any state with its majority are Muslims?

An Islamic state is a state where the major, and official religion is Islam. War against non-believers is only when they attack you first. for example, the most controversial verse in The Holy Qur'an that talks about war against non-believers is 9:5 (Surat Al-Tawbah), but here's the real meaning of this verse: (PLEASE BE PATIENT)\n\n "Once the Sacred Months are past, you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful." 9:5\n\nDue to the profound effect of the corrupt interpretation of the so-called 'Verse of the Sword', this case will be presented in more detail.\n\nDue to the corrupt interpretation of this verse, we find that it has been largely used by the enemies of the Quran to claim that the Quran advocates the killing of all the infidels wherever and whenever they are encountered. Because of that, they have reduced Islam to being labelled 'the religion of the sword'!\n\nOn the other hand, the corrupt Muslim scholars have also misinterpreted the meaning of this verse. As a result they claim that this sole verse ( 9:5 ) has abrogated specific phrases and Quranic laws in no less than 114 Quranic verses !\n\nYes they claim with all audacity that divine Quranic revelation in no less than 114 Quranic verses have been abrogated by one single verse!!!!\n\nThey commit this sinister crime despite God's clear confirmation that no words of the Quran are abrogated:\n\n6:115\n\n"The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice. NOTHING SHALL ABROGATE HIS WORDS."\n\n________\n\nThe corrupt Muslim scholars claim that this verse makes it the lawful duty of Muslims to kill the idol worshippers anytime, as long as it is outside the sacred months, if they do not repent and observe the Contact Prayers and charity!\n\nIt is also their claim that since Sura 9, where this verse appears, was the penultimate Sura in the order of revelation, then if any of its laws contradicts laws in previous Sura's then the law in Sura 9 abrogates the law of the earlier Sura's.\n\nTheir ignorance is manifest not in the issue of the sequence of the revelations, but in the fact that the claimed contradiction between 9:5 and any other Quranic revelation is in fact non existent !\n\nAbrogated:\n\nThey claim that specific words in 114 verses, and often whole verses are abrogated ! These 114 verses appear in 50 Sura's.\n\nAs numerous claimed words are repeated in more than one verse, the following are the unrepeated cases of such claimed abrogations (100 verses):\n\n2:256 / 3:20 / 3:159 / 4:63 / 4:80 / 4:81 / 4:84 / 4:88 / 4:90 / 4:91 / 5:3 / 5:13 / 5:99 / 6:91 / 6:106 / 6:107/ 6:108 / 6:112 / 6:135 / 6:137 / 6:159 / 7:180 / 7:199 / 8:38 / 8:61 / 10:41 / 10:99 / 10:102 / 10:108 / 11:121 / 11:122 / 13:40 / 15:3 / 15:85 / 15:88 / 15:94 / 16:82 / 16:106 / 16:127 / 17:15 /17:54 / 18:29 / 19:39 / 19:75 / 19:84 / 20:130 / 20:135 / 21:56 / 23:54 / 23:96 / 24:54 / 25:63 / 27:92 / 28:55 / 29:46 / 32:30 / 33:48 / 34:25 / 35:23 / 37:174 / 37:175 / 37:178 / 37:179 / 38:70 / 38:88 / 39:3 / 39:15 / 39:22 / 39:36 / 39:39 / 39:46 / 40:55 / 40:77 / 41:34 / 42:6 / 42:15 / 42:48 / 43:83 / 43:89 / 44:59 / 45:14 / 46:35 / 50:39 / 52:48 / 53:29 / 60:11 / 68:44 / 68:48 / 70:42 / 73:10 / 73:11 / 73:19 / 74:11 / 76:24 / 76:29 / 86:17 / 88:21 / 88:22/ 95:8 / 109:6 /\n\nEach one of these Quranic revelations is a testimony to the magnitude of the horrendous crime.

Should the common cold be cured...?

I think not, but i want to see what you all think, if the cold was cured we would lose something human, and for that matter I dont think chicken pocks need to have cure, I think humans need these diseases, get rid of all the other ones, leave these for use. Not only does it helps the immune system, but it build charater, without them you would not have an excuse to miss work, and school, so should these cured? although one is already cured with the new vacination, but should parents get there kids this vacination?

lots and lots of water to drink and fresh lemon (fresh citrus fruit) is 100 times better than an vaccination. I personally HATE the vaccinations as one does not know long term effect and in the end it is like poison.\n\nCold/flu changes all the time, and yes, I totally agree with you, the body gets stronger every times it gets it.. more and more antibodies are being created.. when you get a vaccination automatically it is very unnatural..and what if you get different 'virus' to the one you get and they both combine...\n\nBesides, I hear it hurts liver. Question is: do people wake up and do the old fashion way .. or use the 'unhealthy' products and make some businessmen very rich?? 20,200,000 sites on flu vacination?? only in english?? WOW!!!\n\nOr did you ever thought that maybe some flu’s are made deliberate so that people can make ALOT of money selling vaccinations?\n\nYes, we need to have 'bacterias' as they help us to find other..\n\nREAD THIS BELOW:\n\nBrief Overview:\nFlu Deaths are only a small percentage of the frequently stated 36,000 deaths per year associated with the flu. The 36,000 is a combined figure for both flu and pneumonia. Flu deaths alone are typically 1 to 4 % of the combined total of 36,000.\nThere are an estimated average of 1250 deaths associated with the flu each year in the USA [1250/36,000= 3.5%]. \nThere is long term, large population evidence that the flu vaccine does NOT save lives in those over 65. Graphs\n\nThe flu vaccine is NOT effective in any age group at preventing the flu.\n\nIt is never safe to inject decaying matter mixed with poisons into the human body. See the adverse effects section.\n\n Deaths from flu and pneumonia declined by about 90 percent of the year 1900 rates before the widespread use of flu vaccine. This demonstrates with certainly that the major preventive of flu deaths (and flu incidence) is sanitation and nutrition. The fact that no further declines have occured in the death rate for combined flu and pneumonia deaths tells us that the ONLY preventive for flu deaths and flu incidence is the lifestyle elements which make a healthy life. Further improvements to health as regards the flu will have to come by renewed efforts regarding sanitation and nutrition. This is especially true for the area of nutrition as the real cause of the flu is the body's need to eliminate the by-products of difficult to digest foods or food combinations.

Should the common cold be cured...?I think not, but i want to see what you all think, if the cold was cured we would lose something human, and for that matter I dont think chicken pocks need to have cure, I think humans need these diseases, get rid of all the other ones, leave these for use. Not only does it helps the immune system, but it build charater, without them you would not have an excuse to miss work, and school, so should these cured? although one is already cured with the new vacination, but should parents get there kids this vacination?lots and lots of water to drink and fresh lemon (fresh citrus fruit) is 100 times better than an vaccination. I personally HATE the vaccinations as one does not know long term effect and in the end it is like poison.\n\nCold/flu changes all the time, and yes, I totally agree with you, the body gets stronger every times it gets it.. more and more antibodies are being created.. when you get a vaccination automatically it is very unnatural..and what if you get different 'virus' to the one you get and they both combine...\n\nBesides, I hear it hurts liver. Question is: do people wake up and do the old fashion way .. or use the 'unhealthy' products and make some businessmen very rich?? 20,200,000 sites on flu vacination?? only in english?? WOW!!!\n\nOr did you ever thought that maybe some flu’s are made deliberate so that people can make ALOT of money selling vaccinations?\n\nYes, we need to have 'bacterias' as they help us to find other..\n\nREAD THIS BELOW:\n\nBrief Overview:\nFlu Deaths are only a small percentage of the frequently stated 36,000 deaths per year associated with the flu. The 36,000 is a combined figure for both flu and pneumonia. Flu deaths alone are typically 1 to 4 % of the combined total of 36,000.\nThere are an estimated average of 1250 deaths associated with the flu each year in the USA [1250/36,000= 3.5%]. \nThere is long term, large population evidence that the flu vaccine does NOT save lives in those over 65. Graphs\n\nThe flu vaccine is NOT effective in any age group at preventing the flu.\n\nIt is never safe to inject decaying matter mixed with poisons into the human body. See the adverse effects section.\n\n Deaths from flu and pneumonia declined by about 90 percent of the year 1900 rates before the widespread use of flu vaccine. This demonstrates with certainly that the major preventive of flu deaths (and flu incidence) is sanitation and nutrition. The fact that no further declines have occured in the death rate for combined flu and pneumonia deaths tells us that the ONLY preventive for flu deaths and flu incidence is the lifestyle elements which make a healthy life. Further improvements to health as regards the flu will have to come by renewed efforts regarding sanitation and nutrition. This is especially true for the area of nutrition as the real cause of the flu is the body's need to eliminate the by-products of difficult to digest foods or food combinations. The severity of flu is similar to all other 'contageous' diseases in that the amount of toxic material in the body and the amount of available nutritional support elements (I.E. Vitamin C) are the main items which determine severity or success of the cleansing process which we call the 'symptoms of the flu.'\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nYes, this year's flu vaccine contains mercury.

I live in a two story house so.. please provide me with health tips, health sites etc.. I really appreciate it! thanks a bunch!!

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:\nThe correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume\nYou need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising\nIf you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories\nBut you should always eat\nIf you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much\nRemember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball\nSo you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits\nAlso, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full\nso eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore\n\nALSO....\ni found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People\nHow to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.\nSlash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.\nThis is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender.

when was the first railway track established in sub-continent?

Sub-continent,India&pakistan.

16th April, 1853...............The Beginning\n\nThe customary answer to this question is 3:35pm on April 16th, 1853, when a train with 14 railway carriages and 400 guests left Bombay's Bori Bunder for Thane, with a 21-gun salute. It was hauled by three locomotives: Sindh, Sultan, and Sahib. The journey took an hour and fifteen minutes.\n\nThat, however, was just the first commercial passenger service in India. In fact, a steam loco, Thomason, had been used for hauling construction material in Roorkee for the Solani viaduct in 1851 (it began working there on 22nd December 1851, to be exact). The Solani viaduct construction was a part of the Ganges Canal project, started in 1845. The viaduct had 15 arches and spanned the 4km-wide Solani valley (about 145km north-east of New Delhi). Earth for the approach embankments was transported along light rail lines about 5 to 10 km long from Piran Kaliyar to Roorkee. Standard gauge wagons were used, built from parts brought over from England, and hauled by men and later horses. In late 1851, the locomotive Thomason (named for the engineer on the project) was assembled on the spot from parts transported from Calcutta. It hauled two wagons at a time, at a speed of about 6km/h. It did not last very long, and after about 9 months India's first steam locomotive died a spectacular death with a boiler explosion, reportedly to the delight of the construction workers who had viewed it more as a hindrance than help. Hughes' book states that this was a six-wheeled tank engine, probably a 2-2-2WT built by E. B. Wilson, and of standard gauge. Some details of the wagons and the use of the locomotive are in Sir Proby T Cautley's "Report on the Ganges Canal Works" (3 volumes, 1860).\n"[The railway is] a triumph, to which, in comparison, all our victories in the East seem tame and commonplace. The opening of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway will be remembered by the natives of India when the battlefields of Plassey, Assaye, Meanee, and Goojerat have become landmarks of history." (The Overland Telegraph and Courier, April 1853)\n\nThe second locomotive to arrive in India was Falkland (named for a governor of Bombay), used by the contractors of the GIPR for shunting operations on the first line out of Bombay that was being built. It began work on February 23, 1852. Hughes' book suggests that this was also built by E. B. Wilson, and was probably a four-wheeled tank engine (0-4-0T?) with dummy crankshaft. It later became GIPR loco #9. A third locomotive, Vulcan, is said to have been used by the GIPR for material hauling and shunting duties in 1852 as well.\n\nThere were also eight more locos from Vulcan Foundry imported by GIPR in 1852 and 1853.\n\nOn November 18, 1852, a locomotive hauled some coaches on a trial run from Bori Bunder to Thana. This probably counts as the first "real" train to run in India. \n\nThe idea of a railway to connect Bombay with Thane, Kalyan and with the Thal and Bhore Ghats, first occurred to Mr. George Clark the Chief Engineer of the Bombay Government, during a visit to Bhandup in 1843.\n\nThe formal inauguration ceremony was performed on 16th April 1853, when 14 railway carriages carrying about 400 guests left Bori Bunder at 3.30 pm, "amidst the loud applause of a vast multitude and to the salute of 21 guns."\nThe first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly, to cover a distance of 24 miles, on 15th August, 1854. Thus the first section of the East Indian Railway was opened to public traffic, initiating the beginning of railway transport on the Eastern side of the sub-continent.\n\nIn South India, the first line was opened on Ist July 1856, by the Madras Railway Company. It ran between Veyasarpandy and Walajah Road (Arcot), a distance of 63 miles. In the North, 119 miles of line was laid from Allahabad to Kanpur on the 3rd March 1959.

Where could i get inf on rain harvesting in Delhi &about rain water harvesting potantial in India,Delhi & wor?

Practices and Practitioners\n\nDelhi \nThe national capital territory, (NCT), of Delhi receives 611 mm of rainfall on an average annually and the number of rainy days are as low as 20-30.

Muslims, Jews, Catholics, etc, this one is for you?

Just wondering, what does your weekly worship service comprise?\nWhat day of the week is your service? \nI'm an evangelical christian and attend a non-demonational church which lasts for about 2 hours. This is what we do: first we sing praises to God as a congregation, then the announcements are read from the pulpit, then a selection or two from the choir, then the offering is collected, then the pastor preaches using the bible as a reference. At the end of his message he invites anyone to come forward if they want to be saved and we pray for them. Then we pray and go home. So, how different/similar is your worship service?

I am Catholic but on the Greek side of the Church, I will describe both the Roman and the Greek services. I cannot describe the Maronite, Coptic, Chaldean (Iraqi), or the services of the Thomas Christians.\n\nAll Catholic services can be traced to services left to us by Peter, Mark or James. They are fundamentally the same service, but do vary.\n\nAll Catholic services read the entire bible over a fixed period of time. The Roman service is designed to read the bible over three years if you attend every Sunday or two years if you attend every day. The Byzantine service reads it over less than one year, but you have to attend church more than once per day. Otherwise it takes years to hear the entire bible, but not a specified number of years as in the Roman service.\n\nThe Byzantine Service, which comes from James begins with the deacon announcing that it is time for the Lord to act and instructing the presbyter (priest) to begin the service.\n\nThe priest announces "Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!"\n\nThe congregation responds with "Amen!"\n\nPrayers are then said to petition the Lord for mercy and place the world in His hands. At the end of this series of prayers we commend ourselves and one another and our whole life to Christ our God.\n\nParts of two psalms or three psalms are sung antiphonally as would have been the case in the synagogue. Just a note, we still use the Hebrew canticallation but use the Pythagorean system of musical notation. It is rather like Jazz canons in concept, if you have any idea of music theory rather than a fixed melody. Every community sounds different when it sings the service.\n\nThen we sing the hymn to the Only Begotten followed sometimes by a third psalm.\n\nWe then begin what is called the little entrance. The Gospel book is brought into the Church. The priest announces "Wisdom, be attentive!" \n\nThe congregation responds with "Come let us worship and bow before Christ! O Son of God, Risen from the Dead, Save us who sing to You!"\n\nThe congregation then sings the tropars and kondaks appropriate to the day. The tropar is a song appropriate to the day. A kondak explores the mysteries of the scripture reading of the day. It is a song on the scriptures sort of.\n\nThen we either sing "Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, have mercy on us!" or during certain days such as Pentecost "All of you who have been bapitzed into Christ have put on Christ Allelluia"\n\nThe first scripture is then read followed by the prokemenon which is a psalm. Then the allelluia is sung followed by the singing of the Gospel(s).\n\nAfter the reading of the Gospel the priest does a homily. A homily is different from a sermon in this way. A sermon uses scripture to support what someone wants to say and are not used in Catholic worship. A homily explains the meaning of the day's scripture so you can use it in your life and makes it real. Priests do not get to pick the scripture reading because they would then favor the readings that fit what they want to talk about and ignore ones they don't want to talk about. There are exceptions for things like natural disasters etc hitting a community, but in normal circumstances the readings are prescribed.\n\nWe then finish the cherubic hymn, where we like the angels in Heaven gather to sing God's praises. We then begin the Great Entrance. The song appropriate to the entrance is "That we may welcome the King of all, invisibly escorted by angelic hosts. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia."\n\nWe then prepare for communion with another set of petitions for God's mercy, ending with "The doors, the doors, In Widsom be attentive!" The doors part is optional outside periods of persecution. It is originally the notice to the doorkeeper to watch for Roman soldiers, but to be attentive because what is occuring inside is more important

Could someone rationally explain how earth's life started from one cell organism and it became us?

I'm an agnostics, whom believes generally in evolution, but I find the common explanation a bit far-fetched or rather I just can't picture it. \n\nThe earth is 4.57 billion years old, and us humans have been here roughly 2.2 million years ie the first 'homo'. Now personally, I'm sure we're not as complicated as what I thinks most likely is out in space, but I find it hard to reason how we developed from a single cell life form. Anyone have a chart of life's path from that to us...which would make some sense out of this?\n\nI'm not saying there is or isnt' a god or that someone planted us here, but the conventional explanation of evolution is just not clear in my head. Could someone demonstrate a timeline that makes sense of earth's inhabitance from it's creation?

Your question is a very reasonable one --and brave, since you'll certainly get answers from religious zealots who have completely closed their minds. Let me start by saying my *only* personal agenda is a search for the truth, no matter where it leads me. Unlike many, I'm not here to shove my beliefs down anyone's throat. \n\nThe short answer is that I doubt it's possible in this kind of forum to get into enough details to convince a confirmed *creationist* that humans evolved from simpler life forms. But I hope to encourage an open-minded person to continue with their own research, and not be tempted by overly "easy" answers. \n\nThe long answer (most of it written by me, some of it transcribed manually; none of it pasted)...\n\nI, too, was unclear about the evolutionary process for a long time. While I'm not an expert (and *nobody* has *all* the answers) I think I can help you get to a place where it makes *sense* to you as it now does to me, since you appear to have an open mind. (Agnosticism is good!) \n\nAfter hearing people's arguments and questions for many years, I am convinced that there are six huge factors getting in the way of a general acceptance of the *overwhelming* scientific evidence for evolution. \n\n1 - the common misconception that evolution claims apes or chimpanzees changed to human beings, and the perceived indignity -- and indignation -- that goes along with that idea... or with *any* suggestion that we evolved from a lower form. It's nothing but ridiculous human arrogance!\n2 - the lack of human conception for the vast time life has had on Earth to evolve\n3 - the human temptation to rush things and jump to ridiculous (and therefore naturally hard to believe) conclusions. Evolution involves not three or four steps, like fish to amphibian to ape to human!)... not hundreds, or even thousands of big, visible steps... but perhaps hundreds of millions of minute, subtle changes in a life form. Remember, we have had the time!\n4 - the mistaken notion that creatures evolved because they "decided" to, or "wanted" to. When we say, for example, that fish needed to absorb oxygen more efficiently from the water, so they evolved gills, that's not to imply it was a choice. Evolution is about mutations... changes that were random from one generation to the next, over long periods of time. Those changes that happened to be good for the creature meant that creature survived long enough to reproduce, which meant there would now be lots of little babies with that same feature.\n5 - a fearful and/or stubborn refusal to abandon faith in a Creator, since doing so might condemn the unbeliever to eternal suffering\n6 - It's just *easier* to think about a Creator.\n\nI know you want to see some details of our "life's path" to make sense of it, and I will provide that, below. Just a bit more, first.\n\nThe central ideas of evolution are that all life shares a common ancestor, and that it has changed over time (obviously, if we are to explain getting from A to B). While it's hard for many people to imagine the changes that would result in, for example, human beings from lifelessness, the first thing to keep firmly in mind is that we are talking about an *unimagineable* amount of time to play with... the earth having been around for some 4.5 billion years, as you said.\n\nUnderstandably, few people can appreciate how much a billion is. Do you realize that roughly a billion *seconds* ago, "The Godfather, Part 2" was about to win the Academy Award for Best Picture?... that Richard Nixon was President of the U.S.?... that Hank Aaron had just broken Babe Ruth's record of 714 career home runs? 1974 was drawing to a close -- one billion seconds ago.\n\nIt's a lack of appreciation for this vast amount of time which, I think, makes people skeptical.

Why do americans pay polititians so much to do so little?

16 years ago we where promised affordable health care and today its worse than before. Are our polititians really looking out for our welfare or just how to line thier own pockets with more and more of our money? really do they help us. NO they don't they would rather see that nothing good happens just so thier opposing party doesn't get something done. If a business was run like our government it would be broke in a month and out of business. how much longer are we going to support a wasteful government that would rather argue and point fingers at each other than to get anything accomplished at all. Our government is to big, to wasteful and way to expensive to continue to support. Government is suppose to serve the people not be self serving. do we really want to continue to support an entity that drags it's feet at every opportunity just so they can get paid to accomplish nothing? I say we the people need to fire those over paid politicians and start a new more efficient government!!

Or for people who are making fun of those who claim everything is about oil. There's also this little fact:\n\nThe Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person. \n\nIn 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments. \n\nAlaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax.

Why do americans pay polititians so much to do so little?16 years ago we where promised affordable health care and today its worse than before. Are our polititians really looking out for our welfare or just how to line thier own pockets with more and more of our money? really do they help us. NO they don't they would rather see that nothing good happens just so thier opposing party doesn't get something done. If a business was run like our government it would be broke in a month and out of business. how much longer are we going to support a wasteful government that would rather argue and point fingers at each other than to get anything accomplished at all. Our government is to big, to wasteful and way to expensive to continue to support. Government is suppose to serve the people not be self serving. do we really want to continue to support an entity that drags it's feet at every opportunity just so they can get paid to accomplish nothing? I say we the people need to fire those over paid politicians and start a new more efficient government!!Or for people who are making fun of those who claim everything is about oil. There's also this little fact:\n\nThe Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person. \n\nIn 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments. \n\nAlaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax. Alaska state government is mandated to invest 25% of its oil revenue into the APF while the other 75% of oil royalty revenue is dispersed to other government funds to finance education, infrastructure and social services. If 100% of Alaska's oil royalties had been deposited into the APF, it is conceivable that the CD this year could have been about $4,400 or $17,600 for a family of four. But then there would have been no funds for roads, education and other public services and no funds available to run the state legislature - a libertarian dream fulfillment or a social and economic disaster, which one we will never know.

Who exactly is Allah?

Ok, I know that Allah means God, and he is who Muslims pray to. But is Allah the same God that Christians pray to? I know that Muslims beleive in Moses and in Jesus, but they also believe in Mohammend. Muslims believe in Mohammend the same way that Christians believe in Jesus right? So if Muslims beleive in Jesus and Moses, then is Allah and God the exact same person/entity? Or is Allah totally seperate, like Buddah is? I am confused.

First of all, I am happy for you because of asking this question, since you are asking about none but your Creator, and as to your question.. well..\n\nLet us agree first that The Creator must be the creator of\neverything, the heavens, the earth an all that is in between them, mankind and all that exists. It is anticipated that anyone who says\n“I believe in the Creator,” that he believes in this. It also entails that he should necessarily believe that the Creator possesses Perfect Attributes. He is Perfect in His attributes, in Himself, in His Names,and in His Actions. This is a natural flow,\notherwise, it is a delusion not a true belief in the "Creator."\n"I believe in a Perfect Creator," should lead to another obvious admission: if you believe that the Creator is Perfect then He is\nPerfectly Wise in all of His Actions. Does He then Create because of a Perfect Wisdom, or aimlessly? This is the important linkage. Does He Create for a need? Or He\nCreates based upon Wisdom? It is anticipated that to be in harmony with having belief in the Creator, that His\nWisdom is necessarily is linked to His Knowledge, His Will and to all of His Attributes. The question, therefore, would you think the One who creates does so for a purpose or He creates to leave the creation aimless? The person who believes the Creator is Perfect, would agree that His creating is not aimless. If so, then Who else other than Allaah has stated this? And\nyou know where? It is in His Final Revelation to man. Contemplate what He has said: "Did you think that We have created you in play without any purpose and that you\nwill not be brought back to us, so exalted be Allaah the true king none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Lord of the\nSupreme Throne” [Quran 23: 115-116]. Does man think that he will be left aimless (without purpose)? [Quran, 75:36].\nSo Allaah is the One whom you believe to be "the Creator." He chose this title for Himself and He stated that He is the Only\nCreator, and that He Creates with Wisdom: Such is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, there is no god but He: Then\nhow ye are deluded away from the Truth! [Qur'an, 40:62].\nSo this creation which Allaah creates must have a code organizing its existence and its aims. \nHence: 1- Allaah creates and His creating is all Wise and for a purpose.\n2- Allaah did not leave us aimless. He set a code to live accordingly. So He legislates, commands, and prohibits,\nand justly sets reward and accountability, because He is all-\nJust.\n3- In all aspects of this code, the manifestations of His Names and Attributes become known, contemplated and realized. Being\nthe Creator necessitates creating as well as purpose, guidance and legislations. Whoever ascribes is rewarded, since He is the Most Generous. When one commits a sin,he realizes that his Creator accepts repentance and is oft-Forgiving. So the manifestations of Allaah's Names and Attributes become\nrealized on earth and this is beloved to Allaah, the Creator.\n4- Allaah gives man life, physical sustenance, and spiritual\nguidance through the revelation which He entrusted His Messengers with [like Jesus the son of Mary, Moses and Muhammed]. He guides man to know how to benefit\nfrom the provisions, what is good for him and what is harmful. He raises in honor those who submitted to Him,\nand justly puts in humiliation those who disdain and are arrogant. He Forgives and is Merciful; He punishes and rewards in order that man shapes his life with the code that is all beneficial to man and which makes his life on this earth upright. And it cannot be upright unless man ascribes to the guidance sent to him by His\ncreator.\n5- If all mankind come to ascribe to his code (i.e. worship) Allaah on one heart, then this does not oblige any change in Allaah's Essence nor in His Attributes. If all the creation is on one heart, this does not increase in the dominion of Allaah anything.\nThat is

What is the best way to advertise a website?

I manage a webstie www.brimz.com. For the last year I have tried differnt ideas for advertising the site. It just seem very difficult becasue the product is NEW to the market. I feel that consumers having not seen the product are wearer to buy it. I have done diret mailings, magazine ads (baseball magazines #1 marktet), banner ads, Yahoo search marketing (overture), and banner ads. The only one that has had a good return was the product reviews, but they were very time consuming and unstable. Also we are on a LOW budget for this. It is a start up company.

"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.\n\nYou can try pay per click advertising, but carefully monitor your ROI and make sure that your landing page will convert well. If the product is new, then you have to educate the market. Make them realize that they want and need this product.\n\nHere are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\nRecommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nBig Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml \nCGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nHostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm\nTying It Together: SEO For The Big Three http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/seo.htm\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\nHere is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481\n\n6.

My husband yawns alot, like all day>>>He can't be that tired?? any explanations (non funny)?

maybe I should get a life>>>but he yawns morning noon and night, in the car everywhere???

Pandiculation is the act of stretching and yawning\n-Everyone yawns - babies, kids, teenagers, adults. \n-Some birds, reptiles and most mammals also yawn. \n\nHere are a few things that are known about yawns:\n1.The average duration of a yawn is about 6 seconds. \n2.In humans, the earliest occurrence of a yawn happens at about 11 weeks after conception - that's BEFORE the baby is born! \n3.Yawns become contagious to people between the first and second years of life. \n4.A part of the brain that plays an important role in yawning is the hypothalamus (Part of the forebrain that regulates the amount of fear, thirst, sexual drive and aggression we feel). \n-Research has shown that some neurotransmitters (for example, dopamine, excitatory amino acids, nitric oxide) and neuropeptides increase yawning if injected in the hypothalamus of animals\n\nBut WHY do we yawn?\n-You know that when we are bored, we yawn. \n-Scientists have confirmed this observation by comparing the number of yawns in 17-19 year old students who watched music videos to the number of yawns in students who watched an uninteresting color test bar pattern. \n-As you might have expected, people who watched the color test bar pattern yawned more (5.78 yawns in 30 minutes) than those who watched the "MTV-like" video (3.41 yawns in 30 minutes.) \n-The average duration of yawns was also slightly longer in the test bar viewing group. \n-One unexpected finding was that yawns in male students had a longer duration than those in female students\n\nBut WHY do we yawn when we’re bored?\n-Many people assume that we yawn because our bodies are trying to get rid of extra carbon dioxide (CO2) and to take in more oxygen (O2). \n-According to this theory, when people are bored or tired, they breathe more slowly. \n-As breathing slows down, less oxygen makes it to the lungs. \n-As carbon dioxide builds up in the blood, a message to the brain results in signals back to the lungs saying, "Take a deep breath," and a yawn is produced. \n-The only problem with the excess CO2 theory is that research shows that it may not be true. \n-In 1987, Dr. Robert Provine and his coworkers set up an experiment to test the theory that high CO2/low O2 blood content causes yawning. \n-Air is normally made up of 20.95% O2, 79.02% N2 (nitrogen), 0.03% CO2 (and a few other gases in low concentrations). \n-The researchers gave college students the following gases to breathe for 30 minutes: \nGas #1 100% O2\nGas #2 3% CO2, 21% O2\nGas #3 5% CO2, 21% O2\nGas #4 Normal Air\n-Breathing 100% O2 (Gas #1) or either CO2 gas (Gas #2 and #3) did cause the students to breathe at a faster rate. \n-However, neither CO2 gas nor 100% O2 caused the students to yawn more. \n-These gases also did not change the duration of yawns when they occurred. \n\nThe researchers also looked for a relationship between breathing and yawning by having people exercise. \n-Exercise, obviously, causes people to breathe faster. \n-However, the number of yawns during exercise was not different from the number of yawns before or after exercise. \n-Therefore, it appears that yawning is not due to CO2/O2 levels in the blood and that yawning and breathing are controlled by different mechanisms.\n\n\nSo, the question remains - why do we yawn? \n-Dr. Provine suggests that perhaps yawning is like stretching. \n-Yawning and stretching increase blood pressure and heart rate and also flex muscles and joints. \n-Evidence that yawning and stretching may be related comes from the observation that if you try to stifle or prevent a yawn by clenching your jaws shut, the yawn is somewhat "unsatisfying." \n-For some reason, the stretching of jaw and face muscles is necessary for a good yawn. \n\nIt is possible that yawns are contagious because at one time in evolutionary history, the yawn served to coordinate the social behavior of a group of animals. \n-When one member of the group yawned to signal an event, all the other mem

Should Kashmir be given freedom from India?

When India was partitioned in 1947, Muslim forces from Pakistan invaded Kashmir. The Hindu ruler fled to Delhi and there agreed to place Kashmir under the dominion of India; the region was given semiautonomy. Indian troops were flown to Srinagar to engage the Pakistani forces. The fighting was ended by a UN cease-fire in 1949, but the region was divided between India and Pakistan along the cease-fire line.\nA new vote by the assembly in Indian Kashmir in 1956 led to the integration of Kashmir as an Indian state; Azad Kashmir remained, however, under the control of Pakistan. India refused to consider subsequent Pakistani protests and UN resolutions calling for a plebiscite. The situation was complicated in 1959, when Chinese troops occupied the Aksai Chin section of the district of Ladakh.\nn the late 1980s, Muslim resistance to Indian rule escalated, with some militants supporting independence and others union with Pakistan.

Well bro if you want all the history chronological then it here:\nKashmir was free and I should be given freedom....\n\n\n 1947: August 14/15. British India is partitioned into India and Pakistan as part of the independence process. Majority Muslim areas in the West (now all of Pakistan) and East (the place now called Bangladesh) form Pakistan. The British also allow the nominal rulers of several hundred "princely states," who were tax collectors for the British and served at British pleasure, to decide whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan. Pakistan demands Kashmir accede to it. The Hindu ruler of Kashmir does not make a choice. Kashmir has three major ethnic areas: Ladakh in the northwest, which is majority Buddhist; the Kashmir Valley (controlled by India) and the part now controlled by Pakistan, which is majority Muslim, and Jammu (in the south), which is majority Hindu. The overall majority is Muslim.\n\n1948: "Tribesmen" from Pakistan invade Kashmir with the support of the Pakistani government. The ruler of Kashmir asks India for help. India demands that Kashmir should accede to India first. The ruler agrees. India sends forces to Kashmir and the invasion is blocked. Kashmir is divided into a Pakistani controlled part and an Indian controlled part. This de facto partition continues to this date with the dividing line being known as the Line of Control.\n\n1948: India takes the Kashmir issue to the U.N. Security Council, which passes a resolution calling on Pakistan to do all it can "secure the withdrawal" of Pakistani citizens and "tribesmen" and asking that a plebiscite be held to determine the wishes of the people of Kashmir. Neither the force withdrawal nor the plebiscite has taken place.\n\n1962: India and China fight a border war. China occupies a part of Ladakh.\n\n1965: India and Pakistan fight a border war along the India-West Pakistan border and the Line of Control in Kashmir. U.N. brokered cease fire and withdrawal to pre-war lines affirmed by the leaders of the two countries at a 1966 summit meeting in Tashkent, USSR (now Toshkent, Uzbekistan).\n\n1970-1971: An election in (East and West) Pakistan results in an overall majority for an East Pakistani party, which is ethnically mainly Bengali. The Pakistani military refuses to allow the Parliament to convene. East Pakistanis demand autonomy, then independence in the face of brutal repression by the Pakistani military. Guerilla warfare ensues. About ten million refugees stream into India from East Pakistan. India also provides sanctuary to Bangladeshi guerillas. Pakistan attacks airfields in India and Indian-controlled Kashmir. India strikes back in West Pakistan and also intervenes in the East on the side of the Bangladeshis. The U.S., in a "tilt" towards Pakistan, sends a nuclear-armed aircraft carrier, the Enterprise, and its battlegroup, to the region, in an implicit nuclear threat to India (which influences nuclear politics of India in favor of nuclear testing). Pakistan loses the war on both fronts and Bangladesh becomes independent.\n\n1972: India and Pakistan sign a peace accord, known as the Simla (or Shimla) agreement, according to which both sides agree "to settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations or by any other peaceful means mutually agreed upon between them." Both countries agree that they will not unilaterally try to alter the Line of Control in Kashmir.\n\n1974: India tests a nuclear device.

Who is the greater evil, God or Satan?

Alright, first off let me clear up a few things. I am an atheist, and so my view on all of this will be as unbiased as possible, I don't take sides to things I believe are imaginary. Now to help people alone, let me try and explain each side. God is supposed to know all, even before things happen. If he knows, for example, I'm an atheist, and will always, how can I have free will? If I suddenly became a Christian again, He would have been wrong, and He's supposed to be infalible, correct? So if God knows all, what about all those people who end up in Hell? He would be basically creating people destined to burn in Hell. Not very nice, now is it? Also, there's the mass murders of his, like with Noah where he drowns the whole world with a great flood except for two of each animal and Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. Hitler murdered about 1/3000 of the world's population or so? Here God is murdering 99/100+ of the world's population. Satan in added details.

As an undergrad student that focused on neurophysiology, I decided that science will probably never fully understand the brain- because we are using the very organ we are studying to attempt to gain enlightenment. I say this in reference to this question so thoughtfully posed before us because we are even more skewed on this subject because we as imperfect mere mortals are attempting to comprehend the full meaning of a perfect God. \n\nFirst it must be determined what "perfect" means? Should perfect be defined as always being "good"? I don't think that infallibility means always doing what is "happy." In our justice system, is imprisoning bad people bad? If we say that it's not bad, than how can a flood that wiped out the bad and corrupt be considered evil- could it not be justified as being considered good? Some things just "Are" no matter how bumming they may seem to us. God has choices just as we do, there are many ways up the mountain- none of them are wrong or right- easier and harder maybe- but not wrong or right. I couldn't begin to comprehend what it would be like to be the "original Father" and have to wipe out your creation because they were so consumed with sin. It couldn't have been an easy decision to make and carry out. Even in the old testament- Sodom and Gomorrah- he gave ample opportunity for people to cast out "evil" and kept lowering the needed number of good people before he punished his children. It’s not a fair comparison to put God up against Hitler or Stalin…they killed because of characteristics that aren’t sinful and their purpose for killing was sinful.\n\nSomething else that should be taken into consideration when thinking of perfection, all knowing, and the creation of Satan…take the Far Eastern philosophy of balance- yin and yang for instance. If, for perfection to exist, there must be balance- then wouldn’t there have to be an evil to balance out the good? As depressing a concept as it is, for us to know good we must also know evil. Parents teach us right from wrong by applauding our good behavior and punishing/ correcting our bad behavior- why should this lesson not also be taught by a spiritual parent? It’s from the very contrasts that we become capable of reasoning. To truly have free will, we must be given all options- not just those that are “happy” or “right.”\n\nAs far as “omnipotent” is concerned, that- like everything else- is subject to interpretation. I agree that if you already know the beginning, middle and end of something- there would be no purpose for the experiment that is humanity. Maybe it is instead knowing all the choices and resulting consequences that could happen with each decision we make but allowing us to make them with our own reasoning. By giving us free will, the Supreme Being has allowed us to write the story instead of it being dictated for us. Maybe humanity is like an ant farm- you decide if and when you put in food, water, and something to make an anthill out of- you know that the healthy will eat and drink to survive and create shelter – but instead of doing it for them, you watch to see the how they do it. Humanity, and not just the women, reserves the right to change our minds with each decision we make- maybe God likes surprises .\n\nYou are not an evil person for questioning faith and religion- don’t let anyone make you feel that way. To question is to grow- both mentally and spiritually. My advice to everyone is to not judge others by their beliefs because those can be most easily misunderstood- instead form opinions of them by their actions for and against humanity. A person doesn’t have to be a Christian to love thy neighbor- they just have to be a person that puts the greater good above their own wants. But especially to those who are Christians, strive to remember Compassion, Understanding and Tolerance- they aren’t just lessons to be taught

does anyone out there know anything about vagus nerve stimulation as a treatment for chronic depression?

a relative of mine is being nursed in a psycho-geriatric ward for chronic depression and at times psychotic episodes. She has been in there now for 6 months and the doctors want to try electric shock treatment in 2 weeks if she does not respond to a higher dose of antidepressant in that time.

Full time school, part time (or no time) work?

I am 25 years old and just (as in today) getting out of a four year relationship. I suddenly realized that my next step is to finish college (i think i have like half a year of credits). I know how my mind and attitude works, and I'm certian that I won't be comfortable with my performance at school if I am being distracted by the burdens of a full time job. I'd like to quit work altogether and go to school full time. Or at least only work part time. I know there are ways to do this, I just don;t know what those ways are. I don't have any children and one can usually rent a room around the college i wish to attend for 300 a mo (or less). What do i need to do? NOTE: Answeres who don;t like to get detailed, please move on.

It is possible (common, in fact) for students to receive Financial Aid (grants, loans, scholarships) that covers *not only* their tuition but *also* numerous other educational expenses including off-campus housing. Essentially, your school's Financial Aid Office must establish a "Cost of Attendance" (a.k.a "COA" or "budget") for each and every applicant. This COA will determine the maximum amount of financial aid that you can receive. Any COA will at least include tuition + fees -- but most schools also include some additional expenses. Regulations allow a school to include the following items:\n\n-- tuition & fees\n-- room & board (whether it be on- or off-campus)\n-- a "reasonable amount" for books, supplies (in some cases, a computer), transportation, miscellaneous expenses\n-- dependent care\n-- study abroad expenses\n-- loan fees\n-- employment expenses for co-op study\n\nCOA items are added/removed at the school's discretion, and not all schools will include all of these items. Some schools will allow you to request the addition of any of the above items that apply to you (i.e. if you need a computer, you can ask them to add it and they will do so [or not] at their discretion).\n\nIf you think this might enable you to attend school full-time, begin applying to schools and for financial aid (ideally, simultaneously). Your first step should always be the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). For the fastest processing time, file it online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov (use only the official site from the Dept. of Ed). Beware of other FAFSA sites; they tend to be scam companies that charge you to file an application that would otherwise be free). If you truly do need assistance with the form, free help is available at your schools, local high schools, libraries, and online (http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/completing_fafsa/2006_2007/index.html ).\n\nYour school will use your FAFSA results to determine your eligibility for federal aid, state aid and, often, instutitional aid. Among the types of aid that you will be considered for:\n\n* Federal Pell Grant (for the neediest applicants)\n* Federal Stafford Loan \n* Federal SEO Grant (if your school is authorized to administer this type of aid)\n* Federal Perkins Loan (if your school is authorized to administer this type of aid)\n* Federal College Work-Study Program (if your school is authorized to administer this type of aid)\n* State grants/loans (usually for needy students who attend a school in the state in which they reside)\n* Institutional grants/loans (a wide variety of aid awarded based on a wide variety of criteria, including need, merit, scholastic acheivement, community service, etc.). Check with your schools to see what programs they offer to their applicants.\n* Private scholarship aid: this can come from any number of sources. For some ideas, try your local library, church, organization/associations near you, your former high school, your future schools' Fin Aid offices, or the internet:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\nhttp://www.srnexpress.com\nhttp://www.scholarships.com\nhttp://www.scholarships101.com\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\nhttp://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\nhttp://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n\nNow, generally, grant aid isn't enough to cover all of your tuition costs AND housing/fees/books/food.

3x + y+9 (GRAPHED)?

what would 3x + y=9 be graphed?

That's a great link from Jose on the direct answer; however, here are two easy ways to do it yourself and not be reliant on a calculator:\n\n***FIRST WAY***\n\nFirst draw the x and y axes, tick marks and all.\n\nNext, remember that all the points on this graph involve a value for x and a value for y. The points that form the line are going to be the values for x and y where multiplying by x and adding y gives 9. For a linear graph (like this one), you can choose any point in the universe for x or y and come up with the corresponding value for the other variable.\n\nLike this:\n\nI'm going to make my life easy and see what y will be when x is zero. I do this by plugging the value of 0 in for x:\n\n3*0 + y = 9\n\nThree times zero is just zero, so I am left with:\n\n0 + y = 9\n\nor just\n\ny = 9.\n\nThis means that if x = 0, then y = 9 (the converse is true as well: if y = 9, then x = 0). In other words, that means that the point (0,9) is on the line that we are trying to draw.\n\nNow, it takes two points to draw a line, so let's pick another value. I'm going to make my life easy again and ask what the value of x will be when y is zero:\n\n3*x + 0 = 9\n\nor \n\n3*x = 9\n\nIn this case, by dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get that x = 3. This means that when x = 3, then y = 0. In other words, (3,0) is also on the graph.\n\nIf I draw both points on my graph, then I can draw a straight line between them. Now, simply extend your line past the two points in the same direction that you are already going, and you have your answer!\n\n***SECOND WAY***\n\nThe first way is called the two-intercept method because, by setting x and y to zero in the equation, we were finding the x-intercept and the y-intercept.\n\nThe second way is similar in that it involves the y-intercept (the point on the line when x = 0), but it involves another concept as well called the 'slope'.\n\nTake your equation, 3x + y = 9, and rearrange it so that the 'y' is by itself. We can do this by subtracting the 3x from both sides to get:\n\ny = -3x + 9\n\nNow, writing it this way is convenient because a couple of things are already done for us. The '9' is what is called the 'y-intercept' and the '-3' is what is called the slope. The y-intercept is the point along the y-axis where your line and the y-axis meet. The slope is how steep or shallow the line moves from the y-intercept.\n\nSo, with that defined, it's really easy. Draw a point on the y-axis at (0,9).\n\nFor the slope, remember 'rise-over-run'. A slope tells us how far to 'rise' up or down and how far to 'run' right or left from the point that we have just drawn. Any slope can be written as a fraction, and the top of the fraction (the numerator) is the 'rise' and the bottom of the fraction (the denominator) is the 'run', thus 'rise over run'.\n\nIn this case, -3 can be written as -3/1. So, the 'rise' is -3 and the run is 1. This means that from the point that we drew on the y-axis, you can count *down* three (since it is negative) and count right 1, and that new point is a point on the graph as well. This means that (0,9) - the point that we originally drew - and (1, 6) - the point that is 3 down and 1 right from the first point - are both on the graph.\n\nNow, just draw a line between the two points and extend it in the same direction past the point, and you're done!\n\nI prefer the first way, but there are times when either is a little easier. Mostly, if the equation is like this:\n\nax + by = c\n\nUse the first way. If the equation is like this:\n\ny = mx + b\n\nUse the second way.

Does anyone know about and why Halliburton and KBR are building more detention camps?

Funds disbursements from DHS to Halliburton to build human detention camps in the US \nhttp://www.infowars.com/articles/ps/detention_camps_10_yr_plan_revives_proposals.htm \nThe Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Brown and Root) announced on Jan. 24, 2006 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps. Two weeks later, on Feb. 6, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced that the Fiscal Year 2007 federal budget would allocate over $400 million to add 6,700 additional detention beds (an increase of 32 percent over 2006). \n\nIs this 'scare tactics'? If so, why is it not all over WaPo or somewhere. The article cites previous weird Ollie North plans. \n\nOh, and they even called it ENDGAME.

The Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract worth up to $385 million for building temporary immigration detention centers to Kellogg Brown & Root, the Halliburton subsidiary that has been criticized for overcharging the Pentagon for its work in Iraq.\n\nKBR would build the centers for the Homeland Security Department for an unexpected influx of immigrants, to house people in the event of a natural disaster or for new programs that require additional detention space, company executives said. KBR, which announced the contract last month, had a similar contract with immigration agencies from 2000 to last year.\n\nThe contract with the Corps of Engineers runs one year, with four optional one-year extensions. Officials of the corps said that they had solicited bids and that KBR was the lone responder.\n\nA spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Jamie Zuieback, said KBR would build the centers only in an emergency like the one when thousands of Cubans floated on rafts to the United States. She emphasized that the centers might never be built if such an emergency did not arise.\n\n"It's the type of contract that could be used in some kind of mass migration," Ms. Zuieback said.\n\nA spokesman for the corps, Clayton Church, said that the centers could be at unused military sites or temporary structures and that each one would hold up to 5,000 people.\n\n"When there's a large influx of people into the United States, how are we going to feed, house and protect them?" Mr. Church asked. "That's why these kinds of contracts are there."\n\nMr. Church said that KBR did not end up creating immigration centers under its previous contract, but that it did build temporary shelters for Hurricane Katrina evacuees.\n\nFederal auditors rebuked the company for unsubstantiated billing in its Iraq reconstruction contracts, and it has been criticized because of accusations that Halliburton, led by Dick Cheney before he became vice president, was aided by connections in obtaining contracts. Halliburton executives denied that they charged excessively for the work in Iraq.\n\nMr. Church said concerns about the Iraq contracts did not affect the awarding of the new contract.\n\nRepresentative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, who has monitored the company, called the contract worrisome.\n\n"With Halliburton's ever expanding track record of overcharging, it's hard to believe that the administration has decided to entrust Halliburton with even more taxpayer dollars," Mr. Waxman said. "With each new contract, the need for real oversight grows."\n\nIn recent months, the Homeland Security Department has promised to increase bed space in its detention centers to hold thousands of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. In the first quarter of the 2006 fiscal year, nearly 60 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended from countries other than Mexico were released on their own recognizance.\n\nDomestic security officials have promised to end the releases by increasing the number of detention beds. Last week, domestic security officials announced that they would expand detaining and swiftly deporting illegal immigrants to include those seized near the Canadian border.\n\nAdvocates for immigrants said they feared that the new contract was another indication that the government planned to expand the detention of illegal immigrants, including those seeking asylum.\n\n"It's pretty obvious that the intent of the government is to detain more and more people and to expedite their removal," said Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center in Miami.\n\nMs. Zuieback said the KBR contract was not intended for that.\n\n"It's not part of any day-to-day enforcement," she said.\n\nShe added that she could not provide additional information about the company's statement that the contract was also meant to support the rapi

Phillies...what they need to win in the near future....Who to drop & who to sign.?

1b - Ryan Howard has good potential. Good power, good BA, low RBI production for those HRs though, mostly because he KOs WAY too much. Howard needs to learn how to take a walk and cut his KOs in half and he'd be a really dangerous hitter. He's young but unproven. \n\n2b - Chase Utley rocked in 2005. If that's a good indication of what he can do the Phillies are set at 2b. A bit of power 100+ RBI, 15+ SB with almost no caught stealing. Damn good for a second baseman. Approaching his prime, the Phils should be set at second for a long time to come. \n\nSS - Rollins, good glove, young, good speed, solid bat. The Phils are set for a long time at short. \n\n3b - Bell in his prime was more of a filler kind of player. Now in his mid-30s and in decline the Phils need to upgrade at third. Nobody is burning it up in the minors. Scales is the only one showing real progress. Moving RBI production for those HRs though, mostly because he KOs WAY too much. Howard needs to learn how to take a walk and cut his KOs in half and he'd be a really dangerous hitter. He's young but unproven. \n\n2b - Chase Utley rocked in 2005.

People like anothny and other raciest come here and if you think jesus is white?

Do you think jesus is black after you read this article \n\n\nCNSNews.com) - One day before it debuts in theaters, a black activist group is protesting the Mel Gibson-written, directed and produced "The Passion of the Christ" film, not because of the film's violent depiction of Jesus Christ's final hours. Instead, they say the film is historically inaccurate because Jesus is portrayed as a white man, not a black man.\n\n"Strangely absent from the debate is one very basic inaccuracy which has been long promoted in order to bolster white supremacy and maintain a revisionist history that is beneficial to only people of European descent," said Malik Z. Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party in a statement Tuesday.\n\n"This purposely omitted fact is that Jesus was not a European white man. Jesus Christ was a black man - a dark skinned Hebrew Israelite from Northern Africa and even the only Biblical physical description confirms this (Rev. 13:20)," said Shabazz in a statement..\n\nChapter 13 of the Book of Revelations only ends with verse 18. After CNSNews.com contacted the New Black Panther Party to clarify the Bible verse they referenced, Imam Akbar, national minister for the New Black Panther Party, explained that the original reference was a typo on their original press release.\n\nAkbar instead, pointed to Revelations 1:14 and 1:15 as well as Daniel 10:6.\n\n"His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." (Rev. 1:14 and 1:15)\n\n"His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."

Not only does the group claim the movie is "false," but also "harmful and racist."\n\nThe Anti-Defamation League recently expressed to Gibson its concern that the film would drum up anti-Semetism. Shabazz said his group disagrees with the ADL's claims that the film is "anti-semetic" and challenged the ADL to "deny the historical accuracy of the Jews' attack on Christ."\n\nBut Shabazz says, the "true controversy" surrounding the film "lies in the maligned history of African people through the world and the continual inaccuracies presented in every Hollywood production to date of any Biblical story from the 10 Commandments to the Christmas Story."\n\n"These false images presented are 'anti-black' and these false images and interpretations only seek to further the racist and white supremist idea that God and Jesus Christ 'The Messiah' or 'Savior' is European and white," he added.\n\n"This is clearly one more example of how black people in this country are treated unfairly. Black/African history has and continues to be misrepresented, black people worldwide are subjected to the psychologically abusive images of white supremacy and have no collective voice to defend or promote a Black agenda," Shabazz concluded.\n\nMovie 'not racist,' says black conservative\n\nBut Rev. Jesse Peterson, president of the black conservative group, B.O.N.D.

who in the world is Rory Emerald ??

Rory Emerald = A pranskter, \nF.N.A.(formerly known as) Julian Lee Hobbs\n\n"But it’s hard to tell with Emerald, whose name is a question. He legally changed it to Emerald from Julian Lee Hobbs, so he says."\n\n\nPrankster puts fake ad in RGJ\nCute kitten with two heads lives only in Californian’s imagination\nDon Cox \nRENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL\n9/7/2005 11:37 pm \n \n \n \n \nThe “absolutely adorable” kitten with two heads lives, apparently, only in the somewhat bizarre imagination of a Southern California man who identified himself Tuesday as Rory Emerald, the serial prankster.\n\n“People don’t want to believe it’s not real,” Emerald said by telephone. “They want to believe a two-headed cat exists.”\n\nOn paper it does, or did. The classified advertisement in the Reno Gazette-Journal said:\n\n“KITTEN: Unique kitten with two heads, absolutely adorable, found N. Reno area.”\n\nNo such kitten was found in north Reno or anyplace else. It was all just a joke, according to Emerald, who said he lives in Anaheim, Calif., and puts false advertisements in newspapers across the country for laughs.\n\nThis time he picked Reno.\n\n“It was a friendly hoax,” said Emerald, who described himself as a 38-year-old stay-at-home father who enjoys being funny in print.\n\nThe seven-day ad, which appeared for the last time Wednesday, was placed for free in the “found pets” column of the Gazette-Journal’s classified section. It started running Sept. 1.\n\n“I knew I wanted to do something in the Reno paper,” Emerald said. “I don’t really know why. Something told me to do it in the Reno paper. It turned out to be a good thing.”\n\nA cat with two heads, apparently, attracted attention.\n\nCalls from across state\n\n“I have been getting so many calls from Reno and all over Nevada,” said Emerald, who included his home telephone number in the ad. “I would say it’s definitely up to 50.”\n\nEmerald said he didn’t talk to everyone who answered his ad.\n\n“I was away for the weekend,” Emerald said. “There were a lot of calls from my (answering) service. I turned the phone off. I even got some calls at 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning.”\n\nSometimes, said Kathleen Colombo, Gazette-Journal classified sales manager, it’s hard to tell truth from hoax, especially when someone is placing an ad by phone. All you hear is a voice.\n\n“The hardest part is if you get somebody very convincing,” Colombo said. “You can’t check the body language.”\n\nSince June, Emerald has become famous, at least on the Internet, for his fake ads. There are Web stories about hoax classified ads from Emerald in newspapers in North Dakota, Texas and Montana.\n\nOne of those ads said Elvis Presley’s tour bus had been found near Fargo, N.D., with many personal items from the dead rock ’n’ roll legend. Another ad said ancient Egyptian artifacts had been discovered in the hills near Missoula, Mont.\n\nEmerald said he started the pranks during the Michael Jackson trial this year when he placed an ad in a California newspaper saying a prosthetic nose was discovered near Jackson’s ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif.\n\n“I’m trying to keep the ads funny,” Emerald said.\n\nSometimes, apparently, the laughter dies.\n\nArrested in Beverly Hills\n\nEmerald said he spent about five months in a Los Angeles jail several years ago when he was arrested for theft in a Beverly Hills store while posing as the personal shopper for actress Mia Farrow.\n\n“Yes, that happened,” Emerald said. “I remember getting arrested.”\n\nThe pranks, at least the ones in newspapers, will continue, according to Emerald.\n\n“I’m going to keep doing it until I can’t find anything interesting or fun to put in the paper,” he said. “A bunch of things came to me (Monday) night.”\n\nBut it’s hard to tell with Emerald, whose name is a question.

What are the proper steps in cleaning a colt government .45 pistol?

I'm interested in the proper maintenance (cleaning) of my piece. I'm a new owner of one and I seek to get the correct method of doing so like having the proper tools. I'm asking the experts and the people that are knowledgeable about it for assistance like dismantling it before and remounting it properly after it is cleaned. Thanx.

1. MAKE SURE YOUR PISTOL IS UNLOADED! \nI can't stress this enough. \nRemove the magazine and retract the slide to ensure \nthe chamber is clear. \n \n2. Disassemble the pistol according to the owner's manual. \n I can't help you much here. If you don't know the proper procedure \ninvolved, you should probably stop reading right now and search the \nInternet, or post a query to the rec.guns newsgroup.\n \n \n3. Place a few drops of solvent into the breech end of the barrel. \nFor this purpose you can see I'm using BreakFree CLP. \n \n4. Insert the bore brush from the breech end and brush out the \nbarrel. \nAccording to some, this is where the greatest potential for damaging \nyour barrel occurs. Be sure to keep the sides of the cleaning rod from \ntouching the inside of the barrel. Always start the brush into the barrel \nfrom the breech (chamber) end. Also, avoid touching the crown of the \nmuzzle with the cleaning rod. Some people are so concerned with \ndamaging the muzzle crown that don't pull the brush back \nthrough from the muzzle end -- they unscrew the brush, remove the \nrod, and reassemble the rod and brush for another pass through the \nbore. Personally, I don't bother with that level of caution, since I \nfeel that by the time my practices damage the crown my gun will \nhave bigger problems at that pont. \n\nAnyway, make several passes through the bore, until you feel the \nfouling has been removed. \n \n \n5. Run patches through the bore. \nPlace a clean patch on your jag, wet with solvent, and pass it \nthrough the bore. This will remove the crud you've just loosened with \nyour brushing. \n\nRepeat with another clean, solvent-soaked patch, and then \nrun a dry, clean patch through the bore. Inspect the barrel for remaining \nfouling (dark smears along the rifling). If necessary, repeat Steps 3-5. \n\nWhen cleaned to your satisfaction, run a lightly oiled patch through the \nbarrel, followed by a clean dry patch. If you're using CLP or Ed's Red, \ndon't bother; there's already an oily film in the bore for corrosion protection.\n \n \n6. Clean the slide. \nUsing a solvent-soaked patch, rag, or toothbrush, clean the fouling and any \nsmeared oil off the inside and outside of the slide. Pay special attention to \nthe following areas: locking lug grooves (if any), muzzle end of slide (where \nbarrel tip moves inside the slide), breech face (where firing pin hole is), and \nunderneath the extractor, a particularly common place for gunk to collect -- \nand cause problems. In the second image to the right, I indicate the area \nunder the extractor. I like to use a toothpick to clear out the often hardened \nlead and powder fouling from this area. \n\nAlso, don't forget the grooves where the slide fits the frame -- you want to \ndefinitely remove any grit or oily sludge from this area.\n \n \n7. Clean the frame. \nAgain, remove any fouling or caked-on carbon you find. Pay extra \nattention to the area where the barrel locking lugs fit into the frame \n(usually right ahead of the trigger area), as well as the slide rails which \nwill likely contain an oily or gritty sludge. Get a handful of Q-tips if \nnecessary. Don't forget the bottom of the magazine well.\n \n \n8. Lubricate according to manufacturer's recommendations. \nRefer to your owner's manual for recommended lubrication points. If \nyou don't have a manual, here's what I generally do: \n\n1) very lightly oil the moving parts of the trigger and hammer assemblies, \nand any other moving internal parts (be sure to wipe away excess) \n\n2) lightly oil or grease the surfaces of the slide rail areas on the slide and \nframe, \n\n3) lightly oil or grease the locking lug area (ahead of the ejection port), cycle \nthe slide, and wipe off any excess (see first photo to right) \n\n4) lightly wipe the exterior surfaces with an oily patch o

How secure do you think the borders really are? Do you think our govt. is doing its job?

securing the borders or do you feel they need improvement. And if so, why do you think the borders aren't really secure and what do you think the govt.'s reasons for this is? What could possibly be the reason? \n\nDo you feel the govt.will eventually want to have an open border policy with the America's, like what happen in Europe with the EU? I personally feel that is where this govt. is going. An open border policy and keep in mind the Europeans NEVER imagined it would happen to them! This is a question we must really look hard at, that our govt. would do such a thing and that the Americans would approve of something like this. I honestly see this happening in 20 years....Thanks in advance!

The borders are actually very secure. The real problem there is smugglers, whether of drugs, other goods, or people. They are very creative, and always have been. Here in the northwest corner of Washington we are fortunate in that all the border agencies, the DEA, local police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have an unheard-of level of cooperation.\n\nFor instance, Canadian authorities were watching certain suspicious characters and learned that they were digging a tunnel under the border (a short distance from a border crossing!) and placed a simple phone call to our side. They were allowed to complete the tunnel; we bugged it with electronic devices, and once the DEA had identifed the smugglers' contacts, swooped down and arrested them all. In another incident, Border Patrol cameras spotted three men exiting a van and walking across the border. They called the RCMP and the Mounties caught the three men, who were carrying diamonds, $100,000 cash and some 41 handguns. We picked up the van and its driver.\n\nAnd the one terrorist who tried the border here thought a sleepy ferry crossing was just the ticket. He fooled nobody and was arrested after a short chase. (This was that Ressam character.) He is still in prison.\n\nBefore 9/11 the United States had been working toward borders that were open to most of the world. We were even letting people from certain countries like the U.K. come in with basic identification, not even visas. And of course the borders with Canada and Mexico had been unpatrolled by the military for decades (bases on the border were from older eras, particularly those on the Canadian border). In the Northeast there are many communities which straddle the border and people think nothing of going from one side to the other. Customs officials are not too concerned about small purchases by ordinary people, and NAFTA was sweeping away a lot of customs duties among the U.S., Canada and Mexico.\n\nThe only real difficulty with open borders here is the immigration problem with Mexico. The root of the problem is poverty and it is a regional problem (Mexico faces the same immigration difficulties on her southern border), requiring a regional solution. However, the Republican Party is traditionally loath to tackle poverty directly - they really are the party of the arrogant rich - and the Democrats rarely have workable solutions (the Marshall Plan is a major exception, and please note that George C. Marshall was not really a politician).\n\nAs for legal immigrants, I think they deserve some breaks, especially since a new amnesty program for illegals has been mooted.\n\nI haven't said much about terrorists here. That is because they aren't exploiting the open borders. The borders may be open, but they are watched and guarded. No, terrorists are exploiting what isn't carefully watched, and that is "the rules." Every single one of the 9/11 terrorists, and the previous attackers of the World Trade Center too, had a vaild passport. All had obtained visas or green cards: where they got away with it was in avoiding the follow-up procedures. They, and half of all illegal immigrants besides, simply overstayed their visas and ignored the reporting requirements (I remember the government used to pay for TV messages advising aliens that they had to send in their address information every January 1). And they were allowed to get away with it! On the border, the government is doing its job. Once inside the border, the government isn't.\n\nMost of the border security measures being proposed will have the effect of closing the open borders and stifling both trade and tourism, especially casual visits that generate a heck of a lot of money on both sides of either border. They will not have any effect on terrorists and little on smugglers and illegal immigrants. Increased vigilance helps, and improving cargo inspection methods will help too.

I recently graduated and have numerous, federal & private loans. What is the best place to concolidate with?

Hi there,\n\nI recently graduated from college and now have numerous, federal & private loans. I keep getting a huge amount of "consolidate" fliers in the mail which has made it difficult to decide. I really want to consolidate, because I would litterarely not be able to afford to pay the minimum to each creditor seperately. From your experience, what is the best place to use, to consolidate my federal and private loans? I understand it would probably be best to consolidate my federal loans seperately from my private ones. Please help. Thank you!\n\nDahni

Definitely keep your federal loans separate from your private loans. A Federal Consolidation Loan can only be comprised of *federal* loans, so if you get a letter from a company offering to consolidate private + federal, don't take the bait! You could end up with a Private Consolidation Loan with lousy terms and none of the security of the Federal Consolidation Loan program.\n\nIndeed, students of all sorts (including students who haven't even graduated) are getting tons of fliers about consolidation. Some are from legitimate companies and some, unfortunately, are not. When picking a consolidation lender, it's good to pay attention to the interest rate offered -- but this, by far, is not the only indication of a good lender. In fact, some of the companies offering rock-bottom rates are the questionable ones that you want to avoid! Instead, ask yourself the following:\n\n* How long has the company been in business? This is a good indication of the longevity of the corporation. Student loan companies come and go and, when they go, they have to sell your loans to someone. If this occurs, you won't get a say in the matter and could end up with a less-than-ideal lender. In some cases, when these sales are made, students aren't properly notified of the sale, which has led to some students missing payments... which can, in turn, lead to delinquency and default.\n\n* What is the company's website like? Not only is a strong, detailed website a sign of a good lender, but it can also be critical in helping you keep track of your due dates, look up information during tax season, and apply for deferments. This is also a good way to spot a "scam"-type company. If you log onto the website and the first thing you see if an application form asking for your social security number, RUN. A good company will give you ample opportunity to learn about the terms and conditions of their loan before you apply.\n\n*What is the lender's reputation? What's their customer service center like? Now, to be fair, now may not be the best time to call up each company to gauge their customer service. During the last week in June, all of those companies will be swamped with calls from borrowers consolidating last minute. If you have a chance, talk to your friends, family, and financial aid office to see who they recommend.\n\nFor federal consolidation, Sallie Mae and Citibank are the #1 and #2 consolidation lenders (respectively) in existence right now -- and for good reason. Their loan processes are streamlined, the websites give you everything you need to manage your loans from disbursement to repayment, and they are leaders in their industry. I would highly recommend consolidating with either of these comapnies. In fact, I won't name anyone else because I don't think the others hold a candle to these two. But if you're curious what's out there, you can check out FinAid.org's list of the largest consolidation lenders: http://www.finaid.org/loans/biglenders.phtml\n\nSallie Mae also offers private consolidation, so you could direct all your private loan volume their way, too, and they might be able to bill you on a single bill for all your loans. Although I generally recommend Sallie Mae above the others, I acknowledge that, unlike with Federal consolidation, private consolidation interest rates will vary -- so it might be worth shopping around.

If Christians can go on "Holy War" against muslims why can't muslims?

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns—usually sanctioned by the Papacy—that took place during the 11th through 13th centuries. Originally, they were Roman Catholic Holy Wars to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims, but some were directed against other targets, such as the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars of southern France, the Northern Crusades, and the Fourth Crusade which conquered Constantinople.\nIf Christians have been fighting a holy war since 1009 AD, now that muslims have started to fight why are they termed ignorant and abused for it....do christians have some thing specail...

Jihad : the concept of Holy War in Islam\n\nThe Quranic term 'Jihad' means, "Holy fighting in the Cause of Allah or any other kind of effort to make Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) superior. Jihad is regarded as one of the fundamentals of Islam." \n\nMuslims refer to a 'greater Jihah' (the personal struggle against sin), and a 'lesser Jihad' (holy warfare against the enemies of Allah and Islam). This distinction is often lost in the media, in part because some Muslims deliberately misrepresent the concept of Islam.\n\nFor Christians:\nMany Christians talk about a "Just War", but the Gospel of Jesus is the Gospel of Peace, there is no way in the New Testament to justify any bloody War... it is difficult to justify even the just, defensive war if one takes seriously the message of the Sermon on the Mount, which is the heart of the Gospel (Mat.5:28-42).\n\n Jesus changed the whole attitude on warfare:\n For a Christian, the answer to any war will be to "turn the other cheek"...To Peter, and to you and me, Jesus said: "Put your sword back in its place", because Jesus will bring the sword, Jesus will take care of you, because “vengeance is mine,” says the Lord (Mat.5:39, 26:52, Rom.12:19).\n\n However, indeed there have been hundreds of wars made by Christians against Christians and against non-Christians... I am sure you are thinking about Ireland, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Crusades... the wars of France, Italy, Spain, Germany, England, USA... all Christian countries, and dozens more... and that's all wrong for Christians, even if it has been done for centuries!.\n\n Actually, things are changing, even the Pope John Paul II is a pacifist at heart, an activist against war... with 137 documents against war just in the 3 months before the war of Iraq (January to March, 2003)... before the war, the Pope sent a cardinal to Washington to plead with President Bush not to attack, and another cardinal to Baghdad to press Saddam Hussein to cooperate completely with U.N. weapons inspectors.\n\nThis is what Jesus said and did:\n\n In the Sermon of the Mount:\n This Sermon, called the Constitution of Christianity, contains in Mat. 5 the "Law of Christ" of Gal.6:2. In it Jesus fulfilled the Law introducing several changes in Matthew 5:17-48.\n One of them is about aggression, defense and war:\n You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. (Mat.5:33-41).\n No "eye for eye" in Christianity, but "turn the other cheek"... no revenge, no war... it is difficult to justify even the just, defensive war if one takes seriously the message of the Sermon on the Mount, which is the heart of the Gospel.\n Just Love!... put the other cheek... he steals your tunic?, give him your cloak as well... it sounds incredible... impossible to follow... it is the Law of Christ, the Prince of Peace and of joy and of love... This is Christianity!.\n\n At Gethsemane:\n Jesus is telling us what he told Peter:\n "Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?. But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?"... "But Jesus said, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him." (Mat.26:50-54, Lk.22:51)...\n The

Do Christians believe in Bing Bang or theory of Evolution?

Is true that many people who are not scientific ,they believe in Christ becoz they dont understand that ..creation of Universe and evolution of life is different from that described in genesis.\n http://king-james-bible.classic-literature.co.uk/genesis/\n \n1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth\n1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. \n1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.\n1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the star\n The stars,sun,moon created before the Earth..\n Light(Day and night ) before the existence of Sun\n\n What makes an organism live...a soul.. i guess...\n What about a virus..?(Does it die and revive several times)\n What about hermaphrodites( both male and female sexual organs )\n LACK OF SPACE

What about the big bang?\nEven the idea that the universe is expanding is under attack by some astronomers.\nby Werner Gitt\n\nIn his book, A brief history of Time, the well-known British physicist, Stephen W. Hawking, identifies the ultimate question behind everything. ‘Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from.’1\n\nIn the last chapter of his book he says:\n\n‘We find ourselves in a bewildering world. We want to make sense of what we see around us and to ask: What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?’2\n\nHawking concedes that the important question of why the universe exists cannot be answered by means of equations and theories.\n\n‘Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?’3\n\nNevertheless, he concludes his book by limiting himself to the equations, instead of looking for their Author.\n\n‘However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable … by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all … be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason—for then we would know the mind of God.’4\n\nLike so many other astronomers and physicists, Hawking tries to explain the universe without acknowledging its Creator. But Isaac Newton (1642–1727), possibly the greatest physicist of all time, and a predecessor of Hawking in the same chair at Cambridge University, firmly believed that the solar system was created by God.\n\nThe idea that the solar system emerged from a swirl of matter began with Immanuel Kant (1724–1804). Many present-day cosmologists describe the cosmos in terms of evolutionary development and most of them accept the so-called big bang theory.\n\nAccording to this theory, the universe began about 10 to 20 thousand million [10–20 billion—Ed.] years ago as an inconceivably small volume of space (or a single point of vast energy) which has been expanding ever since. The most important observation supporting the concept of an expanding universe is the ‘red shift’ of light from distant stars.\n\nThis inferred expansion cannot be observed directly, but light coming from distant galaxies seems to have longer wavelengths (i.e. gets ‘redder’) as the distance increases. This is attributed to either the Doppler effect (that the wavelengths of light are ‘stretched out’ when galaxies move away from one another) or the relativistic stretching of the space between the stars as the universe expands. The big bang theory suggests that the cosmos was originally compressed into a hot and dense ‘cosmic egg,’ and as the universe aged, it expanded. \n\nSpace does not permit a full discussion of the evidence for and against the big bang. However, many discoveries made in recent years with improved instruments and improved observational methods have repeatedly shaken this theory.5 Interpretations of the available facts in terms of currently held cosmological models very quickly lead to unresolvable inconsistencies. There is an increasing number of astronomers who raise substantial arguments against the theory.\n\nIf the universe came from a big bang, then matter should be evenly distributed. However, the universe contains an extremely uneven distribution of mass. This means that matter is concentrated into zones and planes around relatively empty regions. Two astronomers, Geller and Huchra, embarked on a measuring program expecting to find evidence to support the big bang model. By compiling large star maps, they hoped to demonstrate that matter is uniformly distributed throughout the cosmos (when a large enough scale is considered).\n\nThe more progress they made with their cartographic overv

Is not Evolution just another religion/faith?

- Religion sprouts from an inspired man. Evolution sprouts from an inspired man, (Ancient Greece, Darwin)\n\n- Religion supports tales occurring before man. Evolution supports tales occurring before man.\n\n- Religion answers questions every man longs the answers for. Evolution answers questions every man longs the answers for.\n\n- Religion cannot prove the basis of its claim, (GOD). Evolution cannot prove the basis of its claims, (surviving-life from non-life)\n\n- The religious defend there views despite the inability to prove its basis. Evolutionists defend there views despite the inability to prove its basis.\n\n- Religion supports itself based on the assumption its basis is true. Evolution supports itself based on the assumption its basis is true.

The theory of evolution is most definitely NOT a religion.\n\nI disagree with the accuracy of your comparison. To elaborate...\n1) Evolution did not sprout from an inspired man. Evolution was postulated to explain evidence, and that evidence points to common descent. Evolution was postulated 100 years before Darwin published Origin of Species, and the ones who came up with it first were not greek, nor were they Charles Darwin.\n2) "Religion supports tales occurring before man." If these tales are interpreted metaphorically, there is no conflict between science and the bible. It is only biblical literalists that take issue with it. Still, this statement and the supposed comparison doesn't help to define evolution as a religion.\n3) If religion is defined as that which answers the questions every man longs the answer for, I guess Jeapardy, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and other such TV shows are also religions.\n4) What constitutes proof is up to the individual. Evolution is proven to me. Maybe not to you. That's fine. For the sake of argument, we will say that there is no proof of evolution. But there is a lot of evidence for it. Creationists have no evidence whatsoever, other than twisted science, fallacious arguments, and illogical conclusions. Oh yeah. I forgot about criticisms of evidence for evolution. Regardless of how valid the criticism, that isn't evidence for creation.\n5) "Evolutionists defend there views despite the inability to prove its basis" Again, this premise is way off. If you think a particular brand of car is better than any other, you may argue why, but you couldn't prove the statement to be true.

Is not Evolution just another religion/faith?- Religion sprouts from an inspired man. Evolution sprouts from an inspired man, (Ancient Greece, Darwin)\n\n- Religion supports tales occurring before man. Evolution supports tales occurring before man.\n\n- Religion answers questions every man longs the answers for. Evolution answers questions every man longs the answers for.\n\n- Religion cannot prove the basis of its claim, (GOD). Evolution cannot prove the basis of its claims, (surviving-life from non-life)\n\n- The religious defend there views despite the inability to prove its basis. Evolutionists defend there views despite the inability to prove its basis.\n\n- Religion supports itself based on the assumption its basis is true. Evolution supports itself based on the assumption its basis is true.The theory of evolution is most definitely NOT a religion.\n\nI disagree with the accuracy of your comparison. To elaborate...\n1) Evolution did not sprout from an inspired man. Evolution was postulated to explain evidence, and that evidence points to common descent. Evolution was postulated 100 years before Darwin published Origin of Species, and the ones who came up with it first were not greek, nor were they Charles Darwin.\n2) "Religion supports tales occurring before man." If these tales are interpreted metaphorically, there is no conflict between science and the bible. It is only biblical literalists that take issue with it. Still, this statement and the supposed comparison doesn't help to define evolution as a religion.\n3) If religion is defined as that which answers the questions every man longs the answer for, I guess Jeapardy, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and other such TV shows are also religions.\n4) What constitutes proof is up to the individual. Evolution is proven to me. Maybe not to you. That's fine. For the sake of argument, we will say that there is no proof of evolution. But there is a lot of evidence for it. Creationists have no evidence whatsoever, other than twisted science, fallacious arguments, and illogical conclusions. Oh yeah. I forgot about criticisms of evidence for evolution. Regardless of how valid the criticism, that isn't evidence for creation.\n5) "Evolutionists defend there views despite the inability to prove its basis" Again, this premise is way off. If you think a particular brand of car is better than any other, you may argue why, but you couldn't prove the statement to be true. And I doubt you would consider your preference for that make and/or model a religion.\n6) Evolution is supported only on the basis of the evidence. Prior to the fossil record, and prior to taxonomy, it was assumed that all earth's critters were created from nothing. Then came the evidence. Then came people who looked at it closely. Then came the attempt to explain that evidence...evolution.\n\nI could go on through the rest of your points, but none of them are accurate comparisons between religion and evolution, in my opinion.\n\nHere is a much better breakdown of how religion and evolution differ...\nFrom http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA610.html\n"1) Religions explain ultimate reality.

How does pH affect peptides in solution?

I am fairly new to peptides but here but the first peptide I have listed is INSOLUBLE in water and the second is soluble in water, how can the addition of d-arg14 and d-arg15 for the two arginines, make the difference in water solubility?\n\n(insoluble MGF): Tyr-Gln-Pro-Pro-Ser-Thr-Asn-Lys-Asn-Thr-Lys-Ser-Gln-D-Arg-D-Arg-Lys-Gly-Ser-Thr-Phe-Glu-Glu-His-Lys-NH2\n\n(soluble MGF):\nTyr-Gln-Pro-Pro-Ser-Thr-Asn-Lys-Asn-Thr-Lys-Ser-Gln-Arg-Arg-Lys-Gly-Ser-Thr-Phe-Glu-Glu-Arg-Lys

pH is a measure of the activity of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution and, therefore, its acidity or alkalinity. For dilute solutions, however, it is convenient to substitute the activity of the hydrogen ions with the molarity (mol/L) of the hydrogen ions (however, this is not necessarily accurate at higher concentrations [1] [2]).\n\nIn aqueous systems, the hydrogen ion activity is dictated by the dissociation constant of water (Kw = 1.011 × 10−14 M2 at 25 °C) and interactions with other ions in solution. Due to this dissociation constant a neutral solution (hydrogen ion activity equals hydroxide ion activity) has a pH of approximately 7. Aqueous solutions with pH values lower than 7 are considered acidic, while pH values higher than 7 are considered alkaline.\n\nThe concept was introduced by S.P.L. Sørensen in 1909, and is purported to mean "pondus hydrogenii" in Latin.[3] However, most other sources attribute the name to the French term pouvoir hydrogène. [4] [5] [6] In English, pH can stand for "hydrogen power,"[4] [5] [6] "power of hydrogen," [7] [8] or "potential of hydrogen."[3] [9] [10] All of these terms are technically correct.\nThough a pH value has no unit, it is not an arbitrary scale; the number arises from a definition based on the activity of hydrogen ions in the solution.\n\nThe precise formula for calculating pH is:\n\n \naH+ denotes the activity of H+ ions, and is unitless.\n\nIn dilute solutions (such as tap water), the activity is approximately equal to the numeric value of the concentration of the H+ ion, denoted as [H+] (or more accurately written, [H3O+]), measured in moles per litre (also known as molarity). Therefore, it is often convenient to define pH as:\n\n \nFor both definitions, log10 denotes the base-10 logarithm, therefore pH defines a logarithmic scale of acidity. The straight bars, indicating absolute value, make pH a unit-less quantity. For example, if one makes a lemonade with a H+ concentration of 0.0050 moles per litre, its pH would be:\n\n \n \nA solution of pH = 8.2 will have an [H+] concentration of 10−8.2 mol/L, or about 6.31 × 10−9 mol/L. Thus, its hydrogen activity aH+ is around 6.31 × 10-9. A solution with an [H+] concentration of 4.5 × 10−4 mol/L will have a pH value of 3.35.\n\nIn solution at 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates neutrality (i.e. the pH of pure water) because water naturally dissociates into H+ and OH− ions with equal concentrations of 1×10−7 mol/L. A lower pH value (for example pH 3) indicates increasing strength of acidity, and a higher pH value (for example pH 11) indicates increasing strength of alkalinity. Note, however, that pure water, when exposed to the atmosphere, will take in carbon dioxide, some of which reacts with water to form carbonic acid and H+, thereby lowering the pH to about 5.7.\n\nNeutral pH 25 °C at is not exactly 7. pH is an experimental value, so it has an associated error. Since the dissociation constant of water is (1.011±0.005)×1014, pH of water at 25 °C would be 6.998±0.001. The value is consistent, however, with neutral pH being 7.00 to two significant figures, which is near enough for most people to assume that it is exactly 7. The pH of water gets smaller with higher temperatures. For example, at 50 °C, pH of water is 6.55±0.01. This means that a diluted solution is neutral at 50 °C when its pH is around 6.55 and that a pH of 7.00 is basic.\n\nMost substances have a pH in the range 0 to 14, although extremely acidic or extremely basic substances may have pH less than 0 or greater than 14. An example is acid mine runoff, with a molar concentration of 3981 M and a pH = -3.6.\nThe Grand Peptide Families\nThese peptides are ribosomal peptides, usually with hormonal activity. All of these peptides are synthesized by cells as longer "propeptides" or "proproteins" and truncated prior to exiting the cell. They are released into the bloodstream where they perform

Do you think by becoming a Christian, a gay man can become straight, even though statistics disprove this?

Statistics say that gay people who have tried to be 'changed' by a Priest have actually not 'changed' at all. People who are really religious and gay have commited suicide because they couldn't change. Who would make a choice and commit suicide because they couldn't unmake the choice? How can you say being gay isn't a choice? Expound on this.

Period. \n\nYOU must be Born-Again. \n\n Every-body (LOST and SAVED) sin's. SIN (some kind's) will cut your Physical LIFE SHORT on this EARTH, other's will SEND YOU TO JAIL!!!!!(or should)so on and so on.. YES, JESUS died for our SIN's and all of the Lessor SIN,s can be forgiven.\n BUT THE SIN ADAM DID to start all of this mess on the EARTH, (and open the door to all of the lesser SIN's, lying, murder, etc.) MESSED UP Adam's Spiritman and Adam passed this MESSED UP SPIRITMAN to EVERYBODY else.\nThe FIRST SIN Adam committed (HIGH TREASON) cannot be FORGIVEN by CONFESSING it out like a lesser SIN. The ONLY WAY to get rid of the RESULT's of that FIRST SIN passed on to US (the MESSED-UP Spiritman) is to ASK JESUS to COME into your HEART(Spiritman) and SAVE(Recreate) you.\nAfter that, you confess out the other stuff an JESUS forgive's you, but you WILL REAP what you have SOW. (Curse's in your LIFE, Jail time, execution in some case's etc.) There are RESULT's to your SIN's even though JESUS will forgive you.\n\nNOW ask yourself this question ('s):\n HOW many Alcoholic's have quit drinking cause they actually got Born-Again and are on their way to HEAVEN??? And how many time's did they slip into drinking again, and then not drinking again till the died and went to HEAVEN????\n HOW many People who got actually got Born-Again and kept on sinning, then going to Church and not sinning, then sinning and then going to Church and not sinning on and on till they died and went Home to HEAVEN?????\n \n1. THE UNPARDONABLE SIN is walking AWAY from JESUS ON PURPOSE, knowing what you are doing (not wanting HEAVEN, JESUS, the whole nine yard's) and being in a POSITION SPIRITUALLY where you can commit the UNPARDONABLE SIN.

THE UPARDONABLE SIN is never getting BORN-AGAIN on this EARTH befor you leave this EARTH for GOOD.\n\nThese are the ONLY 2 WAY's you can commit the UNPARDONABLE SIN. This is the only 2 way's you can bust HELL wide open. \n\nSinning after you are a Child of GOD (SAVED) just get's you into TROUBLE down here (reap what you sow), and you will lose REWARD's in HEAVEN later.\nIF you grow enough in the Spiritual REALM to be able to COMMIT the Unpardonable SIN, thenTHERE is one thing you have to watch out for, IF you get SAVED(and GROW Spiritually Enough) and continue in sin on and on you COULD be sucked into enough Darkness that would lead you into committing the UNPARDONABLE SIN, TO KNOW JESUS IN GREAT DEPTH's OF TRUTH, then mess with sin, on and on, could get you into Eternal Trouble. YOU would know EXACTLY what you are doing then. Baby Christian's can not commit it.\n\nSO, to ANSWER your Question----I don't KNOW!!!!! Only JESUS know's how to help those People, not me, unless HE would tell me Specifically for one person at a time. EACH case is different!!! \nBut I tell you this, GAY People outta get Born-Again, no matter what!!!!! ALL of THEM, cause JESUS LOVE's them,and they GOT a RIGHT to go to HEAVEN as much as ANYBODY ELSE, Whether they can quit BEING GAY or NOT!!!!!!\nThere's agonna be ALOT of Children of GOD ALCOHOLIC's who didn't quit drinking, died and went to HEAVEN!!!!\nWhy not GAY's???? JESUS DIED for THEM TOO!!!!!!!!\nDon't worry bout' LESSER SIN's, get theRESULT of Adam's BIG SIN taken care of FIRST-------------GET SAVED!!!!!!! Thanky-JESUS Ditto!!!!

Why is the USA copying Canada A Galloping Police State?

Marjaleena Repo | June 19 2006\n\nAfter five years of what can only be described as intense “terrorism envy” by our security establishment —with their repeated predictions of terrorist acts in Canada — the country has moved up a notch, to terrorism frenzy. The discovery of an alleged conspiracy by 17 Muslim men to attack facilities in Toronto and kidnap parliamentarians (as well as beheading the prime minister) — ostensibly to get Canada to withdraw from Afghanistan— came just in time before parliament debates the renewal of our post-2001 anti-terrorism legislation, and when support for Canada’s all out military involvement in Afghanistan is softening by the day.\n\nThe June 2 arrests were done with massive police involvement. Snipers on rooftops, in full glare of the notified-in-advance media, guaranteed 24-hour TV coverage and screaming headlines, topped off by a full court press conference by the CSIS and the RCMP. A full-fledged national crisis was born, fueled by rumours and fear. Our whole national security was at stake, and Islam, and to a lesser degree, multiculturalism, was to blame, for enabling such individuals to function underneath our very noses. A new term, “home-grown terrorists,” was slammed into our vocabulary overnight. \n\nWhile the frightening picture of religion-driven extremists was bombarding our senses, the lawyers of the accused complained that they could not find out what the evidence against their clients was, could not even talk to them without armed police presence. Two weeks after the arrest, the accused and their lawyers are still in the dark about what led to the extreme charges. The accused are kept in solitary confinement, forced to sleep with lights on and woken every half-an-hour during the night.\n\nA media ban has been imposed, preventing the press and the lawyers from exposing the exact nature of the information or discussing the court proceedings. The initial horrific rumours are left standing, fueling more fears of all things Muslim (now interchangeable with “extremist”). Some of the Muslim community were also pulled into this vortex of hysteria, trying to do the impossible: disassociating themselves from “bad” Muslims and pledging to do “house cleaning,” to rid their mosques and communities of such individuals. For this they have received many pats on the back (and head) from the amen-corner in the media and security establishment. \n\nTwo weeks after the spectacular arrests, Canadians still know next to nothing of the doings and utterances of the 17: they were on chat lines (watched by the police), they played paint ball and did target practice in the woods (watched by their neigbours), they wore camouflage and military style boots, they had ordered a large amount of ammonium nitrate, a potential component of bombs, some of it delivered to their door by a police agent. We don’t know how many were involved in any of the above. Five pairs of boots were displayed for the cameras, six flashlights, one walkie-talkie set, one voltmeter, eight D-cell batteries, a cell phone, a circuit board, a computer hard drive, one barbecue grill, a set of barbecue tongs, a wooden door with 21 bullet marks and a 9 mm hand gun. That should do it —clear proof that they were up to no good!\n\nBut wait a minute, is this scenario not deja vu from August 2003, when 24 Muslim men were taken down in an similar early-dawn police action, apprehended for planned terrorist acts such as bombing the CN tower and nuclear facilities in Ontario, their names and faces plastered on the media, far and wide? Much mutual congratulation among the intelligence community, the police and security forces ensued. Project Thread, as it was called, however, turned soon into Project Threadbare: nothing was found on the men, no evidence, no plans, no conspiracy, no tools to accomplish their dastardly deeds, and no membership in an “Al Quada sleeper cell,” as was initially claimed. They were cleared

First, are you making a political statement, or are you asking a question?\n\nSecond of all Canadians, have always lived their lives, and fashioned the BNA act with "Peace", "ORDER", and "GOOD GOVERNMENT". By "Good Government" we mean responsible to the people government.\n\nAs a Canadian citizen, as long as you obey the laws, your rights as a Canadian will not be infringed upon. Break those laws and you lose your rights as a Canadian. As visitors to Canada, you are welcome here as long as you respect our culture and obey our laws. You break our laws, we'll put you in jail, or ship you back home. It's as simple as that. \n\nWe will not tolerate lawlessness or civil disobediance. We will not tolerate violent actions in our society, and we will take any steps necessary to curb this unhealthy activity. We have the war measures act to ensure "Good Government", and "ORDER". We will sacrifice our freedoms to ensure law and order prevails.\n\nUnderstand this when in Canada. Chaos, and lawlessness will not be tolerated. We respect our laws, we respect our police because they maintain law and order, something we want in our lives.

will you fight in Iraq for what you support?

George Bush's six years in office have so damaged the image of the US that people worldwide see Washington as a bigger threat to world peace than Tehran, according to a global poll.\nThe Washington-based Pew Research Centre, in a poll of 17,000 people in 15 countries between March and May, found more people concerned about the US presence in Iraq than about Iran's alleged nuclear weapons ambitions.\nThe Pew Centre said: "Despite growing concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions, the US presence in Iraq is cited at least as often as Iran - and in many countries much more often - as a danger to world peace."\nAs I predicted Ohio Sens. DeWine and Voinovich voted with the Republican party and against the people they represent. They both were sent letters from the public requesting them to support Kerry-Feingold. The vote was 86-13 to pull out of Iraq by July 1, 2007. \nThey voted with Republicans because they love war, they love killing, they send others to do the dirty work for them. They love to money it makes the Party and the parties supporters. Defense contractors then send the Money back to Congress in the form of bribes. Supporters love the stock income and nice tax breaks so they send money to Congress as bribes.\nMany followed Hitler blindly to their death. Now follow your leader and go to Iraq and fight for your leader. You do support the troops right? You are willing to fight for what you believe in, right?\nIt's about Money and power, not what the people voice.

What I support isn't in Iraq! My question to all who support the Iraq War, Who are we fighting in Iraq? Why are we fighting them in Iraq? This war is based on lies and deceit. GWB has proven to all that he is not trust worthy. I feel sorry for the families who get on TV and praise the efforts of their family members who have been killed in this war because they all believe that this is for the betterment of this country, How? The people who attacked America, not one of them were from Iraq. The majority of them were from Saudi Arabia, a place that, at that time was suppose to be America's ally.\n\nEveryone who has lost a family member over there want to believe that they died for their country but they didn't they died because of a vendetta of GWB. They died because GWB had promised his father that he would get Saddam Hussein for trying to assassinate him during his term as President. I know that if this country was invaded, I wouldn't think twice about putting my life on the line to fight for it and I believe that there isn't one red blooded American who wouldn't do the same.\n\nI want to know who died and made America the ruler of the world? How in the Hell can American Presidents dictate to other countries as to how to live their lives and conduct their governments when ours are so egregious. The very thing that Bush is telling the American people about other countries need to be taken care of right here at home. \n\nSpending hundreds of Billions of dollars for a war that's not rightfully ours and our country is going to Hell in a hand basket. Social Security, Community necessities, like Firemen, Policemen, Health-care, Mental Illness and Homelessness. What leader in their right mind would declare war on two countries before either of the wars are over? Americans are to blame because no one questioned this last election enough due to the fact that there's no way in Hell it was won fairly. \n\nNow the facts are creeping out about the Electronic Voting Machines, the votes entered into them, there was no way the votes could be verified.. The machines could have been hacked by kindergarten children and no one would have been the wisest according to the experts who had the opportunity to examine those machines.The answer to your question is, No, I wouldn't fight in Iraq, because what is being supported over there isn't worth losing a human life over, which is Oil and Power. \n\nMy heart is heavy for the Service People who are still there and the ones who will end up losing their lives over Lies told to them by a man who's in the White House believing that he is the President Of The United States Of America! In his Heart he know that he really didn't win! God Bless America and protect the innocent because there's too much corruption, hatred and vindictiveness in this Country. \n\nAmericans are allowing illegal immigrants and anti-Americans to dictate and change the very core that this country was built on that has made it what it was six years ago. Each time we allow God to be removed we suffer for it. God has always been a part of this countries make-up. The truest words I can think of are, "In God We Trust".

What do you think of Mike Tyson?

Do you think he's an animal for biting of another boxers ear? Or do you think he's a great fighter? Give me your opinion.

his style is impetuous. his defense is impregnable, and he is just ferocious. he wants your heart. and wants to eat ur children. Praise be to Allah! He is the coolest, baddest, and savage mother fucker america might ever see. his peekaboo defense was awesome and as far as stupid things he did i dont blame him. he was 200lb by age 13 and could bench more than his weight then. he came from a poor neighborhood and family and used to get made fun of and beat up. he dropped out of school in 4th grade and would act nice to elderly and take their bags home for them then nock them out and take their food. If u had to grow up like that u would be fucked up too. no doubt about that. humans adapt to their surroundings and he did, causing him to do stupid shit. he was agreat fighter. he was damaged mentally and emotionally from stuff he went through.\nHere are some things he said, u decide what u think from these.\n“[He] called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.” \n\nOn Lennox Lewis \n\n"Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!" \n\n"My main objective is to be professional but to kill him." \n\n"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children." \n\nOn Evander Holyfield \n\n"You got nothing coming, man. I'm going to enjoy this fight." \n\nAfter biting Holyfield he said, "This is my career. I have children to raise. I have to retaliate. He butted me. Look at me. My kids will be scared of me." \n\n"I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn't getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened." \n\nOn Razor Ruddock \n\n"You're sweet. I'm going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend." \n\nOn Tyrell Biggs \n\nTyson on Tyrell Biggs' complaining to him about low blows "Low blows? Low blows? Huh! Motherf**ker you're fittin' to die!" \n\n"He was screaming like my wife." \n\n"I could have knocked him out in the third round but I wanted to do it slowly, so he would remember this night for a long time." \n\nOn His Wife \n\n"I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined." \n\n"Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her." \n\nOn His Childhood \n\n"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like a infantile retard." \n\nOn Fans \n\nTo a question on whether he feels support from the common fan: "I don't feel love from them because there's no love. They don't know me as an individual; they know me for what I actually do. Because they pay to see me smash anybody. If they're white they pay, [it's] because the only thing they have respect for is my ability as an athlete. But if I was in court and I had to use them to testify against me on my character, they wouldn't testify positively against me and they would think I'm a cad..." \n\n&quot

Motherf**ker you're fittin' to die!" \n\n"He was screaming like my wife." \n\n"I could have knocked him out in the third round but I wanted to do it slowly, so he would remember this night for a long time." \n\nOn His Wife \n\n"I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined." \n\n"Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her." \n\nOn His Childhood \n\n"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like a infantile retard." \n\nOn Fans \n\nTo a question on whether he feels support from the common fan: "I don't feel love from them because there's no love. They don't know me as an individual; they know me for what I actually do. Because they pay to see me smash anybody. If they're white they pay, [it's] because the only thing they have respect for is my ability as an athlete. But if I was in court and I had to use them to testify against me on my character, they wouldn't testify positively against me and they would think I'm a cad..." \n\n&quot

How can I get my wife to go to the doctor to get help for her depression? I'm ready to file for "D".

My wife has been depressed forever. Hasn't worked in 15 years even though we've had enormous financial woes. Past abuse of alcohol. She has not been to the doctor for even basic care in over five years. Sleeps all the time...she is basically a glorified babysitter (there to get the kids off to school and there when they get back - most of the time). Intimacy is infrequent at best (once every six to eight weeks) and she won't kiss or hug unless I'm on my way out the door. I've tried everything short of filing for divorce - but I'm scared of screwing up the kids (10 and 12). Her family, and mine said they would support me, but I wish there was a better alternative. I don't want to spend my next 40 years unhappy, without intimacy and broke. I want my kids to have it better (I work, parent from work, do homework when I get home, cook dinner most of the time, do 90% of the laundry, cub scouts, girl scouts, etc...) Should I just file for divorce and let the chips fall?

I was in the same boat about 2 years ago. My wife was depressed, slept on the couch almost all day, I worked 2 jobs and took care of my daughter when I was home ... I would say that my wife was a glorified babysitter, but in reality, I was often worried about my daughter's safety while I was at work. The horror stories I could tell you ...\n\nI know you won't like this answer but, here goes: You can't get your wife to go to the doctor for help. There is nothing that you could say or do that would ever alter the will and/or mind set of a clinically depressed person. The decision has to be theirs, which, funny enough, is the same advice that Al-Anon would give to a spouse/child of an alcoholic. I had spent the first year of her depression trying to help her through it, taking her to relaxing places, doing the house chores, taking care of my daughter, that did not work, I had threatened divorce once, but it did nothing, After an incident with my wife she was put in the hospital for about 5 days to "straighten her medication out", but, because she didn't believe in medication, that was the only time she took it. She made 1 out of 12 scheduled pyschiatrist appointments and 8 out of 40 scheduled pyschologist visits. She simply didn't want to go or get help. That was her decision, and unfortunately all the best intentions in the world won't get her to change it... for my x wife or for your wife unfortunately. \n\nIn my opinion there are 2 solid questions that you have to ask yourself. \n\n1. Do you still love her and could you continue to make it work? (assuming that you were alone and without kids.) If the answer is yes, continue to the next question as it is the deal breaker. If not, then you have your answer with regards to divorce.\n\n2. I think most parents, including you would agree that their children are the single most important aspect of their lives, and their most important responsibility. With that said, what do you feel is more harmful to your children, a "messy" divorce (which it will be, trust me on that one) or living every day watching Mom sleep away her life, not having her in their lives because she's too depressed, bringing the family down because you are too overworked and stressed out, not having enough money (and yeah - I know about that one too, my x was racking up nearly 3500 in overdraft charges almost every year for 3 years....) I'm sure you could add a few examples to this list... Simply put, what is best for your children? Your kids at 10 and 12 are old enough to engage in a serious discussion about divorce and depression. Their thoughts and feelings will more than likely be an included factor for a judge during a divorce and I would recommend talking to your children about their thoughts and feelings about your family dynamics - how do they feel about their mom's depression, and seriously consider taking your kids to a pyschologist for some family therapy, unfortunately, if you're stressed out and hurting, your kids are too - only many times worse. If your kids experience more happiness during and after divorce, it is better, especially if the divorce forces the parents to put their kids number one. If your wife is missing out on their lives, then they are not number one in hers, and therein lies the problem. If Divorce is better for them in the long run, File, and make sure you get a calm attorney. I'll cover that in a second....\n\nI'll tell you what happened with my divorce, as it might give you a bit of hope, as it certainly turned out well for everyone I would say... after a long 2 year battle, with every settlement offer from my side getting worse every time her "hot-shot" attorney (thus the find a calm attorney) decided he wanted something else like a GAL (Guardian Ad-Litem) and a Pysch Evaluation, I finally landed up with full custody, my X had visitation once a week, had to pay me child support a

Is there any relationship between dialysis and itching?

65 years old man on CAPD dialysis since the last 10 months. I want to know if Bactroban ointment(mupirocin) can be applied daily to the exit site? The skin around the exit site is itchy and sometimes it pains too. Can I apply paraffin oil to reduce the severe itching problem on my back? Can you suggest me some skin lotions as well - is loratidine tablet safe? I never took erythropoietin hormone injection since I am on dialysis but my haemoglobin level is always around 9 - 10 gm/dl. If I have 90% kidney failure, then how come I have this much haemoglobin? Most of the time I undergo only two exchanges a day.

Q. What causes the skin to itch after dialyzing?\n\nA. Itching is a common complaint of patients with kidney disease. Among those requiring dialysis, 40-90 percent experience this symptom. The cause is unknown, but it is likely due to a combination of factors as indicated by the variability in symptoms and response to therapy. Possible contributing agents include dry skin, high blood levels of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, beta2-microglobin and increased histamine levels in the skin. Additionally, other disorders such as the underlying cause of the patient's renal failure, allergies, gallbladder disease and cancers may be the source of itching in persons with kidney disease.\n\n \n\nThe onset, course and response to treatment are variable. While a majority of patients first experience this symptom after the initiation of dialysis, some patients may begin to itch before reaching end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Itching occurs equally often among patients dialyzing by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis (PD). The itching may be localized to one area of the body or generalized. The itching may be constant or intermittent. Itching\n\nItching is a common complaint among dialysis patients, although not all patients are troubled by it. While no one knows the exact cause(s), itching may be brought about by:\n# Dry skin\n# High Phosphorus Levels\n# Allergic Reactions\n# High Blood Levels of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)\n\nAmong dialysis patients, itching is most often caused by dry skin. It occurs because the skin is not making enough oil to moisturize itself. It is important to keep the skin clean and moisturized. It may help to use a moisturizing soap when you bathe, to apply unscented body oil, and to use body lotions.\n\nAnother factor related to itching may be your diet. In your blood, phosphorus combines with calcium to form phosphorus-calcium products. Some of these phosphorus-calcium products are excreted through your skin and this may cause you to itch. The best way to avoid this is to keep your phosphorus level normal. Maintain your dialysis diet and take phosphorus binders with each meal or large snack as directed.\n\nAllergic reactions to the dialyzer, blood tubing or medications may occur during the hemodialysis treatment. Keep a record of how you feel during your treatment. Maintaining such a log may help you to pinpoint the causes of your itching. Discuss how you feel with your doctor or nurse. There are medications available that may help you.\n\nA blood test can tell if you have a high level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH levels are often elevated in dialysis patients due mainly to a decreased calcium level and an increased phosphorus level. This condition stimulates the parathyroid gland to secrete excessive hormones. This can lead to bone disease. Symptoms may or may not occur. If symptoms appear, the bone disease may already be severe. The most common symptoms are bone pain, joint discomfort and itching. Treatment includes controlling calcium and phosphorus levels with phosphate binders and taking Vitamin D. \n\nhttp://www.aakp.org/AAKP/RenalifeArt/2003/itchyskin.htm\nhttp://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/hemodialysis/\nhttp://www.davita.com/articles/dialysis/index.shtml?id=\nhttp://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-5945/5/7\nhttp://www.rdoctor.com\nhttp://www.kidneypatientnews.org/kpt7.htm\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=47\nhttp://www.symptomat.com\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/metabolic%20syndrome/DS005\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/metabolicsyndromex.htm\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/metabolic_syndrome/article.ht

Is there any relationship between dialysis and itching?65 years old man on CAPD dialysis since the last 10 months. I want to know if Bactroban ointment(mupirocin) can be applied daily to the exit site? The skin around the exit site is itchy and sometimes it pains too. Can I apply paraffin oil to reduce the severe itching problem on my back? Can you suggest me some skin lotions as well - is loratidine tablet safe? I never took erythropoietin hormone injection since I am on dialysis but my haemoglobin level is always around 9 - 10 gm/dl. If I have 90% kidney failure, then how come I have this much haemoglobin? Most of the time I undergo only two exchanges a day.Q. What causes the skin to itch after dialyzing?\n\nA. Itching is a common complaint of patients with kidney disease. Among those requiring dialysis, 40-90 percent experience this symptom. The cause is unknown, but it is likely due to a combination of factors as indicated by the variability in symptoms and response to therapy. Possible contributing agents include dry skin, high blood levels of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, beta2-microglobin and increased histamine levels in the skin.

Kevin Pittsnogle \nNBA Position: PF/C\nCollege: West Virginia \nClass: Senior\nHt: 6-10\nWt: 255\n\nPittsnogle is a tremendous shooting bigman. He has proven time and again that he can not only knock down shots from outside with consistency, but also big shots in big game stuations (Dallas could have used this when Dirk Nowitzki was double teamed by Miami in the Finals). He fills this deep team's only glaring need, a quality bigman to relieve Dirk as a quality shooter/scorer. He could also play with Dirk at center to give Dallas another look.\n\nPittsnogle could help Dallas reach the next level (a championship), his shooting ability can spread the floor by forcing a big man to guard him on the perimeter. Other than Dirk, Dallas doesn't have a big man on the roster with that type of ability. Kevin is a hard worker, and in the past year he worked hard on improving his athleticism and quickness, which is allowing him to score and rebound better. \n\nHas good competitiveness and toughness. Excellent free throw shooter at 85%. Great maturity, four year player at West Virginia. His passing skills and ball protection have improved in his senior year. Has added a nice turn around jump hook to his offensive game.\n\nDrafting Kevin Pittsnogle, Devin Harris and Josh Howard in three consecutive drafts would be tremendous for Dallas.\n\nMr. Jones,\n\nI suggest that you ask for 29 & 30 together, given that you won't have much time to pick before the draft.

Gresham Barrett voted YES......send e-mail or see bio \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n \nUpcoming Votes \n \nFlag Desecration Resolution - S.J.Res.12\n\nThe Senate is scheduled to begin debate of this proposed constitutional amendment to ban flag burning.\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nScience, State, Justice, Commerce Appropriations Act, FY2007 - H.R.5672\n\nThe House is scheduled to take up this $60 billion bill funding the Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce and various science agencies for the 2007 fiscal year.\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nDeep Ocean Energy Resources Act of 2006 - H.R.4761\n\nThis House bill would expand oil and natural gas exploration in coastal waters.\n\n\nWASHINGTON -- Despite record low approval ratings, House lawmakers Tuesday embraced a $3,300 pay raise that will increase their salaries to $168,500.\n\nThe 2 percent cost-of-living raise would be the seventh straight for members of the House and Senate.\n\nLawmakers easily squelched a bid by Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, to get a direct vote to block the COLA, which is automatically awarded unless lawmakers vote to block it.\n\nIn the early days of GOP control of Congress, lawmakers routinely denied themselves the annual COLA. Last year, the Senate voted 92-6 to deny the raise but quietly surrendereYea, they voted down the minimum wage increase, which hasn't been raised in a decade, and effectively gives a person $466.00 a month to "live" on, while they get a $3,400 raise. Nice of them since almost all are millionaires!\n\nAnd Congress wants to give more of their power away\nand give bush a line item veto!! ARE THEY NUTS??\n\nWhy do we need a Congress? Bush can submit his own budget and sign it.\n\nCan you imagine the thought of being a state that voted against Bush??

Any Advice?(if your gonna be a smartellic please dont answer)?

For someone my age(15) what is some good ways to diet? Anything that will make you lose weight rapidly? Besides pills?\n\nThank You and Take Care.

Here are 25 great weight dropping tips!\n\nEating Tips\n\nGood things come in small packages. 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. Tell your mother-in-law you don't wan
