Can anyone recommend a good Christian Study Bible?

gablue430 has listed some of the very best choices.  My list would be similar, with one addition:\n\nNIV Study Bible\nNIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible\nESV Reformation Study Bible\nNIV Quest Study Bible \n\nBut I'd like rather to suggest a METHOD for you to make a good choice for YOU.\n\nThings to consider:\n\n1) Which TRANSLATION(s) are you comfortable with?  If you have a fairly strong preference for one you should take that seriously.   Of course, if you're mainly using this book at your desk and happy to keep a copy of your favorite translation at the ready, this may be less important for you --you can focus on Point #2.\n\n(NIV and ESV seem to be the dominant versions in evangelical circles these days [ESV is esp. claiming the old NASB crowd and many NKJV users].  I use both [with others] for study & teaching, but just for reading --silently or aloud-- I think the NIV is superior.  Comparing their Study Bibles, the NIV Spirit of the Reformation vs. ESV Reformation Study Bible are very close in quality -- you translation preference might well be the tie-breaker.)\n\n2) Are there specific study aids within the TEXT that you think would find especially helpful?  and do you know what you want them to do?\n\na) is it cross references that give you a lot of related passages to check out on your own?   -all of those listed ar pretty solid in this area (I have a slight preference for the NIV Study Bible on that; they did an excellent, thorough process of assmebling USEFUL parallels)\n\nb) book introductions, overviews: \nAll of those listed include some helpful book introductions (The book outlines are just OK -- haven't yet found one that is consistently helpful at this point.  At some point they tend to break down into a mere list of contents, without any analysis of WHY they are organized the way they are.  But it's a reasonable start.)\n\nc) text notes:  are you looking for 'topical notes' that answer common theological questions, esp practical ones?  (try Quest);  do you want some good, reliable discussions of what the Bible teaches on many key doctrines?  (try the two "Reformation" Bibles);   do you mainly want note that focus on special features of the specific text you are looking at, the structure of this psalm, etc? (NIV Study Bible probably beats everyone on this point -- this is my own preference and why I've always preferrd this one over the rest for MY use)\n\n3) What about the EXTRA resources in the back?  ( I don't think these are generally as imporant as those under #2 --which tend to be the *main* reason people get a study bible, but do give them some thought, esp. if things are coming out pretty even to this point!)\n\na) MAPS  - how many? how readable are they for YOU?  (some Bible map sections are great... some are awful!)\n\nb) INDEXES:   esp. 'topical guides' & Concordance -- are these enough for your own needs?  will they help you find things you are looking for? (I mostly use a separate complete concordance, but for some folks having more IN their Bibles is important to them)\n\n3) "PHYSICAL" matters, layout, etc.  (some of this may come into play more AFTER you've decided which version you want, when you're looking at size, shape, etc)\n\na) Readability of print:   All of these probably have pretty decent, readable print, etc. but that is not ALWAYS the case.  But you might find you prefer reading a single column ['like other books'] or that two-columns works well for you [tends to decrease the page count, so may lead to a smaller book to carry, or to thicker paper]\n\nb) Some have better quality paper than others as well (oddly I've found some hardcover editions have better, thicker paper than the leatherbound).  \n\nc) binding: You might have a preference on binding, and that may depend on how and how much you use the Bible, as well as the size.  (I have found that I like a smaller leatherbound cross-reference Bibl


How do you get drafted for major league baseball when your stats aren't great?

You ever thought about videotaping your workout drills with yourself at various positions that you know for sure you can actually play. The key word is "actually", How's your bat? is it fast enough through the strike the zone? Do you frequently visit batting cages? these are ways you can show a Major League ball club that you are worth taking a chance on. Others would be to try out for Minor League teams and see where you stand. If any one can tell you, it would be a Minor League coach wether you have enough to make the show, or tell you what you really need to improve on!


why do we feel good just before we tell gossip??

There is a pleasure associated with knowing something that others don't. Sort of makes one feel superior. It is a terribly hard habit to break,  but once you do, you will feel better. (I keep trying).

not sure what whats goig onwhats the best religion and why?

There is no BEST religion. In order to find yourself spiritually, you should do some research, look around, study what it is that people really believe. Then you can make you own decision. The world would probably be a better place if more people would try this and not blindly follow the first Leader to come along. Just be informed.


There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would\npaint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried.  The King looked\nat all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he\nhad to choose between them.\n\nOne picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for\npeaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue\nsky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it\nwas a perfect picture of peace.\n\nThe other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and\nbare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, in which lightening\nplayed. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall.\nThis did not look peaceful at all.\n\nBut when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush\ngrowing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built\nher nest.  There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the\nmother bird on her nest ... perfect peace.\n\nWhich picture do you think won the prize?\n\nThe King chose the second picture.\n\nDo you know why?\n\n"Because," explained the King, "peace does not mean to be in a\nplace where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work.  Peace means to\nbe in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. \nThat is the real meaning of peace."\n\n-- A Wardrobe from the King, Berit Kjos, pp. 45-46


Are there any people that are in there 30's and had a stroke?  I would like to talk with you.?

Here's what you do: Try to cut out dairy and meat completely or limit yourself to small servings every few days!  Little or NO oil, fried foods.  Every night and every morning, a glass of Lemon and water.  Stevia, although more expensive is a natural sweetener and should be used instead of sugar.  Use whole wheat bread and flour,  white bread and flour sticks to your arteries.  Eat only fruits up until noon.  A LOT of esparagus.  Good and healthy w/ soy sauce, mixed w/ little virgin olive oil, garlic and another spice you may wish to use.  This will help avoid other strokes in the future.  Remember to walk or swim, or do some sort of excercise daily, improving cardiovascular system.  Best of Luck!


Have you had dreams that you thought were warnings from GOD?

Yes. I was suppose to go on a missions trip to Zambia with my church but I didn't have peace about it. I was all set to go, excited to minister to children there. I had three back to back dreams of my flight crashing. It felt so real and it was the same dream night after night. Once I cancelled my missions trip, the dreams stopped.  Found out I was pregnant and this trip would have affected me big time so God spoke to me through my dreams. Also, where we were going were militant muslims who slaughtered a woman because she ministered Jesus to a child. I was like, WHOA! I started thanking God for those dreams...so did my husband!


can i hope someone to answer my question? read details.?

well, now you know the truth. She does not love you. She may like you but she likes your friend more. Do not make it more painful for both of you by telling her how you feel. You got the message, so stop thinking about her.\n\nShe may find it hard to say to you that she does not like you that way and it would be hard for you to ask her if she likes you and hear her say no.\n\nI suggest you don't say a thing and look for other girls. There are plenty of fish in the sea.


The males of toads (and most amphibians in general) do not have a penis or other copulatory organ, and the fertilization of eggs is external. This means that the female toad is really ovuliparous (she's not oviparous because she does not release fertilized eggs, but rather unfertilized ova). \nIn most species, mating occurs in freshwater environments (such as ponds, lakes, rivers, etc.). The males start their vocalizations and these attract the females to the pond; then the male jumps or "climbs" on top of the female and grabs her dorsally using his strong forelimbs. This embrace is called "amplexus", and the pressure exerted by the male stimulates the female to release the ova through her cloaca, which are then fertilized by the sperm from the male's cloaca.\nThe fertilized eggs are encased in a mucous-gelatinous substance (in some cases the parents can "stir" it with their legs to make it foamy, like egg white) and attached to aquatic plants or other elements so that they don't drift or float at the surface.\n\n-------------\nGoth_chick, even though the couple may seem "stuck together", they're not physically stuck as if with an adhesive, except for some species in which the male _does_ have adhesive glands in his chest and gets stuck to the female (in these cases, the male is usually much smaller than the female and needs some help to remain on top). In most toads (especially if we're talking about the _real_ toads, family Bufonidae), the male has very strong arms for the amplexus. \nSee the photograph of toads mating:\n http://www.hainaultforest.co.uk/Toad%20pair1.JPG\n(Males are usually smaller than females)\n\nThese are Microhylidae from Asia, in this case they're really "stuck", so that if you disturb them, the female will start walking carrying the male:\nhttp://www.ecologyasia.com/images-a-j/dark-sided-chorus-frogs_0018.jpg

should wolves be returned to Wisconsin? why or why not?

Yes, humans do a lot more harm than wolves do.  Also, in many areas of the country, species that wolves used to keep in check are becoming severely overpopulated.  White-tailed deer in particular (also known as rats with hooves), but also wapiti (aka elk) in some regions have created major changes in local ecosystems.\n\nRe-introducing predators can help to manage these populations, in addition to helping to maintain the health of the wolf populations which are losing territory all over the world.

would you sacrifice your life for a child?

I don't know a single soul who can answer that question flat out right now honestly. Of course they're going to say yes, its the right thing to do. But, no one can predict there actions in a time of panic. I'm sure that there would be some hesitation, and such a hypothetical question desereves a hypothetical answer.


i'm bonkers over this cousin of mine but i kinda don't know waht to do..coz of family and well her..?

i feel your pain. i'm crazy about a blood cousin aswell. Dont feel bad. you cant help who you fall in love with. Tell her so that she can know what you're feeling and so that she can undersand why you do certain things a certain way when she's around. Tell her you love her, but dont react to what the love is telling you to do. make her understand that you cant help yourself and make sure that you keep your distance because after all, cousins make dozens.\nsave your family the shame... i did, and we're happy.


A Douche (/duʃ/, French for "shower") in American English generally describes a stream of water or a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or "sanitary" reasons. In other languages douche only has the original French meaning of shower. In the US English sense, it is similar to an enema, however the term is used colloquially to apply to the use in the vagina for women\n\n~~~  That is the REAL definition.   It is an actual bag used for feminine hygiene.  They are sold in local pharmacies if u are curious to see the item...//  But in reality, when the term is used, u are basically being referred to as a "WHIMP".


As most cases in all sports activity, stamina development is gained through practice and discipline. Start jogging at a comfortable pace and distance and maintain that for 3-4 weeks. It will be difficult at first but repeated runs will make your heart and lungs accustomed to the pace. After a month your body will be be able to expand to further distances. Do so adding 1-2 km depending on how much you can.  Maintain sustaining and adding process. Take note that you must maintain the pace that you are setting however long the distances are. Speed development is different from stamina development. I started jogging 1km using this method and after 3 months I was jogging effortlessly 6-8km!


how can i get fbi clearance if i am outside the us i mean fbi fingerprint?

Then the high commission will send it to FBI and you should have the Cleareance within 1-2 Months.


can birds fly in outer space like in the space shuttle?

Yes. They could fly inside a space shuttle. Birds would have a hard time adjusting to the lack of gravity though, and would look funny trying to fly. Assuming there would be the normal amount of air inside the shuttle, the wings would be effective as they would push some air around.

why does rubbing alcohol feel so cold on the skin?

Evaporation is a natural cooling process for the human body.  As something on the skin evaporates, it draws the heat away from that site.  The faster something evaporates, the more heat it draws away, and the greater the sensation of being cold.  And alcohol evaporates very fast even at normal temperatures, therefor, it removes large amounts of heat.

There is a theory (largely discredited) called Social Darwinism, that was published in the 19th century. The basic idea of social darwinism was an extention of darwinian theory to socioeconomics. For example, if I have more money than you, I must be, somehow, genetically superior so as to come into the condition of having more money. Such ideas were used to justify racism and imperialism during the time.

how do you break water down into hydrogen and oxygen?

Apply an electric current. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms will be seperated from one another. The hydrogen atoms will be attracted to the negative pole, the oxygens will migrate to the positve poles.\n\nThey can be collected in gaseous forms if you have the poles isolated from one another.\n\nBoiling it will do nothing but convert water molecules from their liquid form to a gaseous state. The molecules will still be intact.


Would Chelsea be top of the Premiership if all pro football players were on a maximum wage of £500 per week?.

No club is going to attract players without pay scales that are close to the other power houses in Europe.  However, high pay scales don't necessarily equate to great soccer.


Girls like guys with personalities similar to them.  We love compliments and guys that can make us laugh at any given point in time.  Guys with a sense of humor is a huge turn on for us.  Another thing we like is when guys will shop or watch chick flicks with us.  It sounds really girly, but some guys I've dated actually like to do both of those.  It makes dating them so much more fun.  If you are willing to do things we like with us, we would be glad to do stuff you like with you(like sporting events or something).  We mainly just want guys with awesome personalities, confidence, and guys who love to have fun!\n\n:)

is it possible to become a professional boxerat age 23?

Sure...but depending on where you are, you may have difficulty getting work as a pro boxer...if you are in a soft commision state in the US (read: Georgia), you probably could go in without any training at all and fight...In Conneticut?  Not so much, there are serious rules for fighters there.\n\n    Best advice is to find out what it takes to be licensed in your area to box, then get running, lifting weights, dieting and hitting the bags.\n\nbtw, Mike Tyson was younger than 23 when he started...he was already champ by then.

anyone know a good area of south carolina to buy a house?

I live here.  It depends if you like mountains or beach, and sounds like he likes the water.  I don't know about Little River, but I'd stay away from Myrtle Beach, yes it's fun to visit but high crime.  Charleston and surrounding areas are pretty nice, I would also avoid the middle of the state where I live.  We are moving soon, thank God.  Rock Hill is also nice and Greenville.  Those are the only places I could suggest.  I would think Little River would be good, because your OUT of Myrtle Beach, but can visit it and also near NC which is nice.

At his August 2001 physical, Bush was supposedly 6 feet 0 inches tall, and weighed 189.75 pounds. (Given that degree of precision in his weight, it probably represented his weight without clothes, or perhaps with a hospital gown.) At his physical the previous year, he weighed 194.5 pounds. His body fat was 14.5% in 2001, down from 19.94% the previous year.


How do you get your fella of 6 years to propose.?

Maybe this would be a good time for one of those "Where are we going with this relationship talks." Obviously you have plans for a future with this guy. Take some time to have a one-on-one with your fella about his plans for the future. Maybe he wants to be in a certain place in life before he makes the commitment to you, or perhaps his plans aren't quite the same as yours, OR he could just not know that you want to marry him. \n\nWhen you do talk to him, remember that it could be a bit of a touchy subject with him... don't make a big deal about it, but make sure that you two have some time alone that sufficient to have this conversation. Also, try your best to avoid sentences that start with "You..." these can be interpretted as accusations. Another thing you should try to avoid are the words "always" and "never".\n\nGood luck, and I wish best for you and your boyfriend.


Why do women justify abuse, just because a man is a "sexy bad boy"?

They have no self respect,low self esteem,poor body image and in their subconscious psyche they feel they deserve it.


I agree whole-heartedly. This has been bugging me quite a bit. What bothers me even more is that people have such horrific spelling and grammar to begin with. I'm assuming that most of the people who post on this website are at least 13 or older. People of that age should be capable of expressing themselves clearly and intelligently.

Well, if you're willing to leave her and can manage on your own, or have someone who can help you, you can file for divorce. Only you know if the pain is worth the wife and what she offers. However, I think she's wrong to do this, and if she ever blames you, because of your condition or something, she married you like this. she knew what she was going to be going through.

Well darlin, it sounds like a common problem we seniors have, right about now.  It's called arthritis, but that's just a guess.  A doctor can tell you exactly what the problem is, and sometimes they are able to help by scrapping the build up out, but that requires some surgery, usually fluoroscopic surgery which is non invasive.\n\nA comment to urangmybell; I don't believe this lady is American.  In America weights and measures are not described in kilograms, etc.  If you took note of the lady's question , you might note that she described herself that way.

Is there still a lot of discrimination going on in the real world?

Yes, there is still a lot of discrimination in the real world. From my own experience, I tried to find a job on my own sending in my resumes to the positions that I qualified for.I just graduated from City College of San francisco with an Associates degree in Liberal Arts. However, I was not getting any response. Also, when I do get a response, I NEVER go to round two of the interview. I am answering the interview questions according to my work experience and believe me, most of the majority of the interviews I had were RUDE that I applied for. I was desperate NEED of a job. So, it really depend on your work experience. If you don't have a LOT then KNOW someone who will hire you for a year. All the employers are looking for is EXPEREIENCE.

we have birth control means and measures. we can do it for pleasure and for procreation. given the opportunity for other animals to have sex like us the surface of the earth would have been full of animals long before we could make guns to kill them off. so may be we would not even be advanced enough to communicate like this. now do not ask me who made the arrangement (GOD or NATURE)


Anyone know what did the ancient aztecs wear?

Aztec Dress \n\nAztec dress plays an important role in Aztec culture. One reason they wore clothing was for protection. The Aztec army wore extensive forms of armor to protect them in times of war. They also clothed themselves because of modesty; this was the main reason for dress of the commoner. Dress also helped one to recognize social status and rank. For example, nobles dressed differently from serfs, commoners, and slaves. Aztecs also adorned themselves in special ways to conduct ceremonies such as sacrifices. Dress is an important area in many facets of Aztec culture and played a vital role in determining class, government rank, and religion.\nDress is a common way to distinguish between Aztec social classes. Within Aztec society there are four social classes: nobles, commoners, serfs, and slaves. Figure 1 shows the dress of many of the four classes in a crowded market. Nobles were the highest in rank and could easily be recognized by the manner that they dressed. To achieve noble status one could become a religious leader or inherit the status. A common material used in noble clothing was cotton. The dress included symbols of their high rank. For example, the more one's clothing was decorated the higher rank they were perceived to have. Gold was an important adornment to a noble's dress. Another accessory to noble dress was feathers on the head and on their robes. Bright colors were also a sign the individual was of high rank. The function of noble dress was adornment and modesty. They often dressed to draw attention to themselves. The noble dress also communicated the status they had obtained. Another function of noble dress was to show that they were involved in government and many times showed their role as religious leaders.\n\nCommoners and serfs dressed much alike. They dressed with much less accessories and the colors used were less bright. For men of these ranks a loincloth was often all that was worn, while women often wore a simple cotton dress. The major reason for dress for these ordinary people was modesty. They also dressed for convenience and utility on the job. For example, they dressed differently for agricultural work and hunting.\n\nSlaves often wore very little clothing. Slaves did wear jewels in holes in their face and had feathered mantles that were admired for their workmanship. A skirt of feathers completed their attire. Slave clothing didn't have much purpose. The main purpose was modesty and for general work functions. Figure 2 shows the feathered mantle of a slave.\n\nThe Aztec army dressed much differently than the rest of the culture. The main reason for this was for protection in times of war. The dress of higher warriors was very elaborate. Their bodies were covered with a close vest of quilted cotton. Although impenetrable the garment was very light. The wealthier chiefs often wore a thin layer of gold or silver instead of the vests. Covering this inner layer was a coat of extravagant feathers. Helmets were often made of wood and fashioned to look like the heads of animals. They also carried shields to fend off arrows and spears. The shields were made of woven reeds with feathers lining the outside. On the cover of some shields there were figures of some animals that represented different strengths that the Aztecs believed they received from these animals. Figure 3 shows a typical Aztec shield. Often the warriors waved a panache of feathers dusted with stones and precious metals. They often wore collars, bracelets and earrings of the same materials. Commoners wore body paint, which was the color of the banner of the chief who they followed. They wore very little clothing other than a simple girdle around the loins. Warriors could earn the right to wear costumes of animals for the amount of prisoners they capture. Figure 4 shows a warrior costume. As one can see, the main function of army dress was for protection. The dress allowed for proper protection against the weapons of

How do you say  : " Don´t worry " , " take it easy "  in French ?

Don't worry: "Ne t'en fais pas." or "Ne vous en faites pas" to an adult or stranger.\n\nTake it easy: "Calme-toi" or "Calmez-vous" to an adult or stranger.\n\nThere's also:\n"Ce n'est pas grave." - "It's no big deal." or "It's not serious."


should i play varsity basketball if im kinda ready but all the girls dont like me and i have a great JV team?

Ultimately you, your coach, and your parents/guardians should make this decision.\n\nThat said, one mistake I've seen often made by talented young athletes is "playing up".  Whether it was a 10 year old playing on an under-12 soccer team or a high school ball player jumping to the NBA, the results on the whole aren't good for the athlete.  The young player's playing time is cut dramatically, they're also behind in terms of overall skill, so they're playing catch up to a degree, plus the aspects of socializing with people more mature than yourself is another gap to bridge.\n\nAlso, team environment/chemistry can play an immense role in how you perform.  My two worse experiences with basketball came with two teams where one had zero tolerance for mistakes, and the other placed a premium on winning at all costs while having no camaraderie.  It was no surprise, now reflecting back that for the first time in my life, I disliked playing ball, and struggled with my overall play.\n\nMy advice is to stick with your team, grow with them.  Varsity will be there later, and you'll probably be better prepared for it when it's time.  Good luck.


How can I get my golf game into the 80's?

Practice on your swing to maximize on your distance.\n\nIf you land on the rough, every time you swing...let's say a 300 yard driver, even you it as hard as possible, you're only using 60% of the club's max distance. So using a driver in the rough will only give you a max of 180 yards.\n\nAs for in the sand, you're only using 75% potential or 225 yards. Basically you need to do lots of math when using your clubs in order to get your game in the 80s.

I am interested in taking Karate classes, Is there a certain fitness level I should be at before I start?

I started karate when I was 42 and had just begun recovery from a fall where I had nerve damage in my shoulder, elbow and hip.  Believe it or not, the exercise involved in the workouts actually helped the healing.  There is no fitness level involved in starting Karate, but it is recommended that you have a physical to help pinpoint any physical impairments or limitations.  For example, my doctor recommended I not do push ups b/c I have carpel tunnel in both wrists and b/c of the nerve damage.\n\nYour fitness level will come as you progress...because you will discipline yourself to push a little harder each time you work out.  I hope this helps, and good luck in your decision.

Definition\n\nImmunoglobulin deficiency syndromes are a group of immunodeficiency disorders in which the patient has a reduced number of or lack of antibodies.\n\n\n  Description\n\nImmunoglobulins (Ig) are antibodies. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE.\n\n\nIgG is the most abundant of the classes of immunoglobulins. It is the antibody for viruses, bacteria, and antitoxins. It is found in most tissues and plasma. \nIgM is the first antibody present in an immune response. \nIgA is an early antibody for bacteria and viruses. It is found in saliva, tears, and all other mucous secretions. \nIgD activity is not well understood. \nIgE is present in the respiratory secretions. It is an antibody for parasitic diseases, Hodgkin's disease, hay fever, atopic dermatitis, and allergic asthma). \nAll antibodies are made by B-lymphocytes (B-cells). Any disease that harms the development or function of B-cells will cause a decrease in the amount of antibodies produced. Since antibodies are essential in fighting infectious diseases, people with immunoglobulin deficiency syndromes become ill more often. However, the cellular immune system is still functional, so these patients are more prone to infection caused by organisms usually controlled by antibodies. Most of these invading germs (microbes) make capsules, a mechanism used to confuse the immune system. In a healthy body, antibodies can bind to the capsule and overcome the bacteria's defenses. The bacteria that make capsules include the streptococci, meningococci, and Haemophilus influenzae. These organisms cause such diseases as otitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and sepsis. Patients with immunoglobulin deficiencies are also prone to some viral infections, including echovirus, enterovirus, and hepatitis B. They may also have a bad reaction to the attenuated version of the polio virus vaccine.\n\n\nThere are two types of immunodeficiency diseases: primary and secondary. Secondary disorders occur in normally healthy bodies that are suffering from an underlying disease. Once the disease is treated, the immunodeficiency is reversed. Immunoglobulin deficiency syndromes are primary immunodeficiency diseases, occurring because of defective B-cells or antibodies. They account for 50% of all primary immunodeficiencies, and they are, therefore, the most prevalent type of immunodeficiency disorders.\n\n\nX-linked agammaglobulinemia is an inherited disease. The defect is on the X chromosome and, consequently, this disease is seen more frequently in males than females. The defect results in a failure of B-cells to mature. Mature B-cells are capable of making antibodies and developing "memory," a feature in which the B-cell will rapidly recognize and respond to an infectious agent the next time it is encountered. All classes of antibodies are decreased in agammaglobulinemia. \nSelective IgA deficiency is an inherited disease, resulting from a failure of B-cells to switch from making IgM, the early antibody, to IgA. Although the B-cell numbers are normal, and the B-cells are otherwise normal (they can still make all other classes of antibodies), the amount of IgA produced is limited. This results in more infections of mucosal surfaces, such as the nose, throat, lungs, and intestines. \nTransient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy is a temporary disease of unknown cause. It is believed to be caused by a defect in the development of T-helper cells (cells that recognize foreign antigens and activate T- and B-cells in an immune response). As the child ages, the number and condition of T-helper cells improves and this situation corrects itself. Hypogammaglobulinemia is characterized by low levels of gammaglobulin (antibodies) in the blood. During the disease period, patients have decreased levels of IgG and IgA antibodies. In lab tests, the antibodies that are present do not react well with infectious bacteria. \nCom

why is it hard to measure the impact of knowledge management?

knowledge management is something that cannot be measured using metrics. it is something that adds value to a company but its true importance or benefits can't be compared to its initial costs. This is because knowledge management does not provide the firm with money per se, but it provides the company with a better way to handle knowlege as well as enable information sharing between employees. this INDIRECTLY will improve so many processes and aspects of the firm that it will generally be impossible to localize the affect of the KM system on profits in one area. As a result of this you will have to factor in so many different areas of the firm as well as elimiate other possibilites of the causes of impact on employees that it makes it that much more difficult to measure KM effects. \n\nIf you wanted to measure the impact of knowledge management, the best way is to interview all users of the KM system and ask on their views before and after. If possible ask them before implementation of the KM system on their fears and optimisms of the upcoming KM.\n\nedit: changed first line to incoporate metrics


You are correct, if you cannot trust someone than why be with them.  Trust is so hard to get, yet so easy to lose and next to impossible to ever completely get back.

Do you know anybody making a living on ebay and if so what are they selling?

I've been trying to make it as a book seller for over a year, I gave up this week.(my last sales finish in 2 hours with no bids so far, sob sob.) A friend of mine gave up her job and now sells full time, hair accessories, make-up and junk jewellery.\n\nThe most money I 've made is with Depression glass (but only the American market seem to go for that not here in the UK), John Lennon items and Michael Hutchence stuff.\n\nDVDs are good, I sold one I found in the street for £12, and larger women's clothes can rocket in price.


What are the steps in the litigation process?

Details vary depending upon the type of suit, the court and the amount in controversy, but basically the steps are as follows.\n\nFirst, the Plaintiff files a Complaint. This says what the other party (the Defendant) did wrong, and what they owe the Plaintiff and why. Copies of the complaint are given to the court, and must be served on the Defendant[s].\n\nThen, the Defendant files an Answer. This rebuts the claims made by the Plaintiff, and asserts any defenses. The Defendant can also file a Counter-Complaint, which is their version of the Complaint (see above).\n\nAlternately, a Defendant may file other civil procedure motions attacking the Plaintiff's Complaint, saying it's not valid, wrong court, improperly formatted, whatever. Some civil procedure rules sometimes allow this category of filing instead of an Answer. \n\nOnce the Complaint and the Answer are filed, lots of pre-trial motions can occur, case management conferences are scheduled, preliminary hearings before the judge, etc. Discovery also happens along the way, which is where the parties get to ask each other for copies of potential evidence.\n\nDuring this intervening period, the vast majority of cases settle. Some estimates are as high as 80% to 90% of cases never actually go to trial, being resolved either in mediation or negotiated settlement, or dismissed because they are not valid for one reason or the other.\n\nFinally, at some point (if the parties have not come to a settlement) the case is schedule for trial. If you've watched any of the hundreds of movies or TV shows about trials, you get the idea. The trial is actually a very tiny fraction of the entire process, but it makes for the best on-screen drama.\n\nAt the end of the trial, a decision is handed down. Almost always, one party wins, the other party loses. \n\nThen the appeals process can start (see above, but all using different rules this time).

Java is a "platform independent language". What does this mean?

It means you can write a program in Java and it will work on any computer system that has the Java runtime installed on it. All major operating systems (Windows, Sun OS, Mac OS, *nix) can run the Java runtime.\n\nPrograms written in Visual Basic .NET, for example, only work on Windows computers; programs written in some other languages will only run on Macintoshes, etc.

What is 'BETA'? What does it mean. Why are some things BETA and others not? Is it a type of programming code??

Beta means that the program is not the final product, and has just been released for people, especially developers to try it out, so that they can identiy bugs in the code. So usually beta versions are not very stable, and contain quite a few bugs. After most of the bugs are sorted out, the final version is released.

Was recently dumped. How long to wait for next girlfriend?

First, wait until you're over the first girl.  Then start seeing people when you feel that you're ready.  No need to start a relationship again, just date.  That way you can find out if you want to be in another relationship or just play the field.  Could take weeks, months, maybe even a year.  All up to you.  Just make sure you're over the previous relationship.

Abstinence is the way to go.  There can never be any physical, emotional, or spiritual regrets when abstinence is the choice.  Sex is a wonderful and serious form of bonding between a man and a woman, and something this important can wait until marriage.  \nThere are plenty of men out there who would try to persuade you to give up your virginity to them, but it is only for selfish reasons.  Any man worthy of your affections will respect your decision and admire you for it.\nHang in there, it will be worth it.


Blind love, or there at all? which do i choose?

Let me get this straight.\n\nCurrent BF - Nice guy, cares for you, treats you right.\n\nEx BF - Bad guy, doesn't care for you, treats you badly.\n\nYou're attracted to the bad boy image. You need to realize that YOU deserve the best, and it sounds like your current BF is a good start.


Girls always guys take a bit longer, to see, but were also blind sighted when in love.

Does the Bible contradicts itself ? Please list some examples:?

No the Bible does not contradict itself.  There are those who do not want to believe in what the Bible says, so they will take a verse and read it out of context and then interpret it to mean something it does not.  These people are foolish, and when you actually read and study the Bible you will truly see that God does and will not ever contradict Himself.

I am becoming a supervisor for the first time starting on Tuesday, any suggestions?

Dress like a supervisor.  People take their cues about your authority and expertise from the way you look first, then after that, the way you conduct yourself.  If you look the part, you will engender their regard from the first moment.  What you do after that depends on all of the skills that you have already accumulated to earn you this position.  In addition, it will make you FEEL like a supervisor which will help you to act like one.  Business suits are the safest bet for men or women.  If you don't have one, go to Ross or TJ Maxx and buy one.  Good luck.  You'll be great!

why does the moon sometimes look bigger and nearer than it is?

It doesn't GET any bigger than it is, it just LOOKS bigger because it really IS nearer\n\nBecause its distance from the earth varies as the orbit is not a circle, as you asssume, but an ellipse (oval).\n\nThe furthest distance from the earth that the moon reaches in any orbit (lunar month) is called the APOGEE and the nearest distance it approaches in that orbit is the PERIGEE.\n\nIn the table below the distances are in kilometres, measured from the centre of the earth to the centre of the moon.\n\nJust gone:\n\nMar 13  APOGEE 406272 km \nMar 28  PERIGEE 359169 km\n\nComing up soon:\n    \nApr  9 APOGEE 405549 km    \nApr 25 PERIGEE 363735 km  \n\nThe earth's orbit round the Sun is an ellipse too, and the nearest distance in any one orbit (year) is called PERIHELION and the furthest distance in that orbit is called APHELION.\n\nHelios is the Greek word for the sun and Peri- and Ap- are prefixes meaning near to and far from. The sun looks correspondingly smaller at aphelion and larger at perihelion.  \n\nSometimes eclipses of the sun are not quite total if the sun is bigger than usual (near or at perihelion) and the moon smaller than usual (near or at apogee).\n\nThere is a more pronounced variation in the distance between Earth and Mars than either the variation in Sun-Earth or Earth-Moon distances. Mars looks a lot brighter and a lot dimmer as a consequence, at these times.\n\nTo visualise why, think of a clock face. The sun is in the middle of the dial. The earth is on the tip of the hour hand and Mars is on the tip of the minute hand. When the time on the clock face is midnight, five past one, ten past two etc earth and Mars are at their closest. When the time on the clock face is 12.33, 1.37, 2.43 etc Earth and Mars are at their furtherst apart, Mars being the radius of an earth orbit plus the radius of a Mars orbit away, beyond the Sun.\n\n(This too-simple model assumes circles not ellipses and assumes that Mars years are twelve Earth years, where in reality Mars years are only about twice an Earth year. But it gives you a general idea.)


where can i find out how to write a legal document to a judge about non-contesting a divorce?

Most courts have pre-printed forms that cover just about everything.  Call the court clerk and ask if they have such a form.  If not ask if they have a family law clinic (some courts have these in place to assist people who don't have attorneys)...If you and your husband are amicably divorcing ask an attorney to draw up a Stipulation for Dissolution (it's an agreeement between you and the husband that states your divorcing and outlines the terms of the divorce)  good luck.  If you don't want to deal with an attorney, see if there is a legal aid clinic in your area...they do low cost or free assistance for these types of things.

If Democracy is so good, why it does not get acceptance since Aristotle?

Democracy is the best of bad choices for government we have.For me, a benevolent dictatorship would be my choice. Democracy is too messy, takes too long to get going, or for people to understand, look at Iraq. Just too many disparate opinions have to be weighed for it to be effective. Sometimes, countries need a strong man{or woman} with a single vision. FDR and Lincoln come to mind in our history.

I m  Europen( in EUR now) and got in pregnant by  American.How I can get m&baby legal in USA ?

Actually to my knowledge if one of the parents is American, the child is also American. The American parent needs to go the American Embassy (in the country where the baby is born) and report the baby's birth. The baby will receive citizenship , hence, I do not think that applying trough the family immigration is need ... that is necessary only if say a parent acquires citizenship after the birth of the child.\n\nCheck with the embassy to be certain.

how does osmosis makeus thirst when we eat a lot of potato chips?

Yes.  When you eat potato chips, the salt concentration in your blood increases.  This means that there is more stuff in your blood than there is in your cells.  This results in your blood basically being a hypertonic solution which results in a net movement of water out of your cells.  This can be felt most easily when a high salt concentration draws the water out of the cells that line your mouth (these cells are used to a very moist environment of fairly pure water, so a sudden increase in salinity has a rather profound effect).

can God make a rock so big, He can't lift it?  the stupid questions...?

Actually, this question is easily answered by bible doctrine. NO, God cannot. There are many things God can't do. Who ever said God can do anything? God can't hate, at least not literally. God can only "hate" in the sense of an anthropopathic analogy, such as when He was said to "hate" Esau. God can't lie, break a promise, die, hurt, be sad, allow a saved person to enter Hell, allow an unsaved person to enter heaven, or fail to provide logistical grace support to a believer. God can't be unjust, wrong, weak,  stupid, not present, and He cannot change. He cannot fall in love( because He is love 24/7). \n\nBasically God cannot do anything that would violate His essence. His essence is Sovereignty, Righteousness, Justice, Eternal Life, Love, Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, And Truth. These 10 characteristics describe perfectly the 3 members of the Trinity, and no one else. I'm glad God is bound by who He is.\n\nYou don't need to defend yourself against Christian bashers. God is not worried about them or threatened by them, why should you be? Keep the Faith, Bro!

Has anyone received similar email that you have money that is owed to you ?

This is a scam.  It is a blanket e-mail that is sent out to a lot of people.  When you respond they will send you another e-mail saying that they received your information and just need to confirm your bank account numbers to transfer the funds.  If you were to send them the information, you would find your account dry by morning.  Unfortunately, there is no way of reporting these people as they work from a total stand point of annonimity.


Well, not really. (making alot of sense) There's a way to link someone's website to certain search words by somehow putting the term on it and then hoarding it with links to that term. Google works by how many links your website takes hits on and that determines how high up on the search you come. It really isn't a coincidence.


Can a default judgement be contested or reversed by the Court?

A precise answer depends on the law of the particular jurisdiction you're in. In New York, you could move to vacate the default judgment.  You would have to show: (1) a reasonable excuse for not having appeared in the case earlier (pretty easy to do here, your excuse is that you were never served with process and you didn't know there was any attempt to impose liability on you personally); and (2) a meritorious defense to the claim (the arguments you've outlined about why it's your husband's sole responsibility).\n\nYou will probably need to consult a lawyer to get this cleared up.  A possible alternative: Contact the Registrar.  Explain why this is bogus and ask that the Registrar consent to vacating it, the alternative being that you'll engage a lawyer, the Registrar will incur legal fees in a hopeless cause, and, depending on your local law, the Registrar might even have to reimburse you for your legal fees.  There's not much chance that this will work, and there's a downside to even trying -- you don't know the law, so you might say something that could be used against you later.

I have had this many times and it sounds like an anxiety attack. You become so afraid that you start breathing fast and hyperventilate. I was told to hold my breath and count to ten, after i had slowed my breathing down I didn't feel dizzy any more. I thought I was going to die when this started happening  to me and it seemed to get worse each time. When I realized I could control it and it was me being afraid that caused the problem, it has not happened again for several years. I am not a doctor, but these same symptoms happened to me.


i have sunspots on my arms and thighs and back help me b4 summer how do i treat them?

I have the same thing you have by the sounds of it.  My doctor told me its called tinea versicolor which is a type of skin fungus.  I'm about at my whits end with this, I've tried alot of solutions and so far nothing has helped but its probably because its too soon.  My doctor gave me an oral form of nizoral to take for a month which I've just completed.  In the mean time I've been applying selsun blue to the affected areas daily and leaving it on for about 10 minutes.  Too me it just seems its getting worse day after day, the small spots turn bigger and join together to make bigger spots.  I'm frusterated but from all of the research I've done online it sounds like the fungus is easy to kill its just the discoloration of the skin that takes months to return to normal.  Hope that helps you at all, your not the only one!

I felt discomfort on my right pelvic 1 week before period and after period. Why is this happened?

check with your Dr.  I have had a problem similiar  to this and it was ovarian cysts.... when you ovulate a cyst is formed around the egg and then it bursts sending the egg towards the fallopian tube for fertilization.  In some people the cyst can be larger and take longer to burst causing some discomfort  to extreme pain.  If it gets to the extreme pain point (like mine did) you may be looking at having surgery to remove the cyst or to be put on birth control pills to control the cysts... going to the Dr. will be the best thing to do as it could be something completely different, they went to school for at least 8-12yrs, they should know better than us right?? :)


The people who say it's impossible or who suggest crime as the only answer, frankly, don't know what they're talking about.  While it's not usually easy (except for those who win the lotto or who inherit), it's absolutely possible.  To increase your odds of becoming a millionaire:\n\no  Get the best education possible in a field or vocation that's in a lot of demand.  Pursuing "easy" fields of study and the "easiest" instructors is a sure way to mediocrity in your future.\n\no  Set realisitic financial goals in life that will serve as a guide to your financial decisions.  Working hard to achieve financial milestones at various junctures in your life will help you make the right decisions.  Examples:  Driving a used Honda Civic instead of an expensive BMW, avoiding impulse buying, not trying to outdo the guy next door, etc.  Research has shown that many self-made millionaires achieved their wealth, in part, by living a conservative lifestyle.\n\no  Strive for excellence in whatever career you pursue (whether you're working for someone or working for yourself).  Stand out for your achievements.  Don't be satisfied. Push.  Work hard and work smart.  Achieve. Take initiative.\n\no  In your work or business dealings, always convey a professinonal appearance and manner.\n\nThese suggestions should get you started in the right direction.


Dental Implant Costs \nHow much do dental implants cost?\nDental implants can be a costly procedure. An entire team of professionals are needed to deliver a long-lasting smile. Implant procedures demand a great deal of the doctor's and staff's time and effort. The prosthodontist intensely studies your health profile, and then develops a plan to meet your unique needs. Additionally, surgical staff and the laboratory perform several services to produce the desired result. The materials used to construct implant prosthodontics are also very expensive. Bone grafting, if needed, is additionally costly.\n\nWhile a basic implant is typically $1,250. to $3,000., depending on your circumstances additional costs for things such as in the case of a posterior mandible, bone regeneration, sinus elevation, and wide diameter or narrow diameter implants quickly escalate to as much as $15,000 to $30,000. for the complete procedure for the upper or lower jaw.\n\n \n\nhttp://www.aboutcosmeticdentistry.com/procedures/dental_implants/cost.html

how could technology effects modern society?

Technology affects society on many different levels. It invades every facet of society: culture, politics, economics, etc. Once a particular technology is widely adopted, it pervades society so that it becomes an integral aspect of society, inseparable from it so that its absence could not be imagined by those using the technology. \n\nImagine society without cars. The way society is structured now relies on vehicles for transportation and an essential element that "drives" the economy. If there were no cars, society would never develop the complex and highly regulated system of roads and highways in existence today. \n\nThere would be no traffic lights, traffic school, paved roads, tire shops, engine shops, auto mechanics, traffic patrol, speeding tickets, car washes, gasoline stops, etc. A myriad of different industries inextricably tied to the automotive industry would cease to exist, along with the jobs that accompany them. \n\nThere would also be less pollution, no car accidents, no war over gasoline, and other negative forces brought about by the motorized carriage. On the other hand, there would also be slower mail service, and slower ambulance, police, and fireman responses to emergencies. \n\nAs can be seen from the above examples, technology always provides positive and negative effects on society. What the effect will be is always uncertain but it is sure that technology has the power to improve and benefit the lives of those living in society while at the same time creating more problems in it.

Who can I talk to in my college to take an F from my academic record due to mental illness?

you can definitely take it off the record.  similar thing happened to my friend who was under severe depression and flunked a class. but after talking to a counselor, he was able to drop the class for medical reasons.  first get a note from the doctors who can vouch that you had a sickness.  then take it to the administrative offices of your school and explain your situation.  i'm sure they can help you out.  good luck man.


5-7" when erect, regardless of race.\n\nYour penis is like an artist’s paintbrush.  It’s not how long it is that matters.  It’s how skillfully you use it and how many different brush strokes you know.\n\nThese penis size questions come up again and again on this site.  Women almost always say it doesn’t matter to them.  And if it actually does matter to a small minority of women, so what?  There are still plenty left who don’t think it’s very important.  \n\nWhat’s far more important is whether you’re skilled at using your penis to satisfy your woman.  Can you last as long as you want?  Can you vary the depth of your strokes, the pace of them, the angle of them, so that you can offer your woman a little teasing and unpredictability at times?  Are you skilled enough at other ways to pleasure her, so that penis-vagina intercourse is only one of the things on the menu you offer her?  \n\nEven if you can’t do all of these things at present, these are all things you can LEARN to do.  But you can’t learn to have a bigger penis.\n\nAnd let’s not forget, it’s usually the person attached to the penis that decides whether a woman finds you appealing or not.  You could be hung like a horse, but if you’re an inconsiderate jerk you still won’t be very attractive to women.

Does anyone feel sad for the illegal immigrants that were swept away by INS at Bayside, Dlfin Mall, Miami?

I feel badly that they spent money, risked their lives and came all the way to the home of the free and the brave looking for the American dream, only to be arrested for doing so. It sucks for them. It really does. However, I also fully and wholeheartedly support the efforts of the INS and any other law enforcement agency who "sweeps away" illegal immigrants. There is immigration, and ILLEGAL immigration. There is a difference. There is a reason. I support immigration. My grandparents immigrated here not only from other countries, but other continents.Legally. My wife is an immigrant. She came here legally. My best friend married a lady he met and fell in love with while on deployment. Then had to extend his tour of duty in a war zone for 2 years waiting for permission to bring her here. Legally. Channels. Law. Rules. Regulations. I broke the law once. I went to prison for 4 years. I ask no one to feel sorry for me. And I find it hard to feel sorry for those who have to pay whatever the price may be for their own crimes. In this case, the crime is the same as tresspassing. If I enter your home without permission, I'm breaking the law. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER. The only thing that saddens me, is that they were here illegally in the first place. They could have followed the rules, and lived without fear of retribution, arrest, and deportation.

Why are fundamentalist Christians nearly always Republican?

First, it is best to understand the belief systems of Fundamentalist Christians. They believe that everything is black or white. There should always be a definitive answer for situations, in order that they know where they stand with God and with others. \n\nFundamentalist Christians also believe in righteous living. If you do everything right, you will be rewarded. If you live a bad life, you will be punished. In essence it is the results that matter. Fundamentalist Christians also are conservative in their views and way of life. they operate under the belief, "if its' not broke don't fix it."\n\nThese beliefs line up well with the current belief system of the Republican party. The Republican party believes what is good for business, is good for the country. If someone is down and out, it is their own fault. If you work hard enough, you will live out the American Dream.\n\nSad to say this is not true. I read a report last night that says America now is dead last of countries where someone from the bottom rung of the ladder can move up to the top. This is a striking difference from the sixties where America was at the top rung of the ladder.\n\nWith this in mind, I caution that not all fundamentalists are this way as well as Republicans. It does take courage however, to admit that there is more than one answer to difficult situations. It takes a great deal of compassion to reach out to those who are oppressed and downtrodden. It requires determination, resolve, and fortitude to observe the need for and to make those changes necessary where situations dictate the need for this to occur in the life of individuals, communities and our country.

will my uncircumsied penis go into a virgin vagina? will it hurt me in a anyway ?

The only thing that might be of concern from what I have read, if true, is that the folds of skin have a higher degree of holding bacteria which increases the chance of infections and transmitting STD's.\n\nUsing a condem might help reduce spreading of STD's, but every 1 out 5 have defects and if not properly worn tend to roll off \nand therefore the spred of disease is still present.

"The equatorial diameter is c.7,926 mi (12,760 km) and the polar diameter 7,900 mi (12,720 km)"\nThe Earth is the fifth largest planet of the solar system. The reason why earth is in a spherical shape, is because of the gravitational pull. The number that appeared most often in my sources was 12,756 km. There are actually two diameters of Earths: equatorial and polar. One of my sources stated that the equatorial diameter is 40 kilometers wider than the polar diameter. The Earth is not a perfect sphere because of a bulge in the equator. Most of the current knowledge of the Earth has been collected in three methods, through satellites, telescopes and outer space exploration.


Is Man's Ego the main reason from preventing you to accept Jesus as your personal Savior?

You wanted an answer, so here it is.\n\nShort answer: No.\n\n***\n\nReasons I'm not a Christian\n\nSummary:\n\n1. Christianity is a “me” religion.\n2. I wasted over twenty years being one and it never benefited me. In fact, it caused considerable harm.\n3. Jesus probably never existed.\n4. Even if Jesus *did* exist, he did not fulfill the requirements of Jewish Messiah as outlined in the Jewish bible.\n5. Even if Jesus *had* fulfilled Messianic requirements, the Messiah was never meant to be God; just a human.\n6. Even if Jesus existed and *had* fulfilled the Messianic requirements and *was* God, the Jewish Messiah was only ever for the Jews, and not the Gentiles.\n7. There is no need for the Christian idea of “salvation”. There is nothing from which to be saved. Adam and Eve didn’t bring death into the world. There is no devil; there is no eternal hell.\n8. The basic theology of Christianity is pure insanity.\n9. The Jesus portrayed in the Christian bible is not a being of love.\n10. Jesus is nothing original and nothing new.\n11. Christians are inconsistent with their views.\n12. The idea of Jesus paying for our sins is completely unethical.\n13. Fear-based belief systems are damaging; a form of emotional abuse, and can hardly be considered valid.\n14. Belief in a deity is not required for a person to be good.\n15. Emotional blackmail isn't my thing.\n\n***\n\nDetailed explanation:\n\n1. Christianity is a “me” religion.\n\nThe very basis of Christianity is incredibly selfish. If I believe in the Jesus story, it helps absolutely no one but me. Whether I believe because I want to go to heaven, or because I want to stay out of hell, it's still all about ME. No one benefits if I believe because I "love" God, or because I fear hell. No one, that is, but ME.\n\n2. I wasted over twenty years being a Christian and it never benefited me. In fact, it caused considerable harm.\n\nThat's basically it in a nutshell: I've been there, done that, got the tee-shirt - and I don't want to do it again. \n\nChristianity taught me to be ashamed for being me; that I was a "sinner" by genetic default, born bad and rotten to the core; that it was my fault that someone killed a guy over 2000 years ago and I should feel personally responsible; that God wouldn't want anything to do with me unless I took a metaphysical bloodbath. I was taught that I was second-rate for being a woman and that my role here on earth was to submit to my husband and pop out babies. That it was my fault that my ex raped me because I was a woman and I was too tempting for him.\n\nDid I have self-esteem issues? You bet I did.\n\n3. Jesus probably never existed.\n\nOutside of the Christian bible, there is absolutely NOTHING that is both historical and contemporary (of Jesus) to show that he ever existed. While there is enough literature left to fill a library from the time that Jesus supposedly walked the earth, NONE of it mentions Jesus.\n\nHere are some of the authors from the time Jesus allegedly lived:\n\nApollonius Persius\nPausanias\nArrian Phaedrus\nMartial Valerius Falccus\nColumella Phlegon\nJuvenal Statius\nDio Chrysostum Pliny the Younger\nJosephus Seneca\nFlorus Lucius Quintilian\nEpictetus Pompon Mela\nLucian Tacitus\nPaterculus Valerius Maximus\nAppian Petronius\nAulus Gellius Philo-Judaeus\nLysias Theon of Symran\nLucanus Suetonius\nJustus of Tiberius Silius Italicus\nDamis Pliny the Elder\nDion Pruseus Plutarch\nFavorinus Ptolemy\nHermogones Quintius Cutius\n\nThis list is from John E. Remsburg's book "The Christ: A Critical Review and Analysis of the Evidence of His Existence". \n\nThese authors were from the time of Jesus' alleged life, or within a century after - yet apart from a forged passage in Josephus' works - just ONE passage! - there is to be found no mention of Jesus whatsoever. (Most historians agree that this passage was forged, and if Josephus had truly believed that

how do i motivate myself to get my assignment started?

I have procrastinated my way through school, university and my job (that is why I am on here). I have only just started understanding why I do it.\n\nThere are many reasons why - fear of failure, fear of doing something difficult, etc. There is only one solution - getting into a habit of starting (not finishing!) at a certain time. Set yourself a target of starting - doing 15 minutes and then you will find that you probably don't want to stop!\n\nDon't overburden yourself. Aim to start, not to get it done. Do 15 minutes NOW. Oh, and get off the internet. It will not help you right now.

Why are so many  (USA) Americans obsessed with having perfect teeth?

It's a rich and luxerous community. The richer you become, the more focused you would be on problems which less rich people would consider minor or not so significant(like acne, imperfect teath, blemished skin etc), besides, the culture promoted by the very strong and acive media is focused mainly on appearance, which gives it an unpreceded importance in the american society never before experienced in history. Fat or unsocial kids can get harrased and have real trouble at school and sometimes there are suicide attempts because of that, etc.\nYet this tendency of perectingone's looks is not a result of an asthetic sense or of developing  ahgher senstivity towards beuaty, but is mainly due to accumilating great sums of money, the proof to this is that it goes parallel to a very wide spreed symptoms of obessity. If you ever travel to the staes, you would be amazed by te precentage of fat people there!!\n\nThe same symptoms have been present in almost all society during eras or remarkable economic growth(The french used toeat and vomit so they can enjoy more food , the spanishused to make the beds of the nobility from pure gold, etc)\nIt is perfectly naural to act pampered when you can afford it:)\nThe drawback is , of course, is the possibility to become softer, or to be unable tounderstand how do poorer people think, or what types of life they could endure. and this could be a very serious drawback  sometimes.


First ask them questions like how many minutes in a year, then try to confuse them with statements about how they shouldn't answer the question. Ask a few more like that, then if their mind seems confused: do the shiny pocket watch in an arc thing and see how it goes. Simple minds with less physcologial and mental barriers who trust easily should be your "targets". Or get a degree in advertising and learn how the masses are hypnotised into buying stuff they don't want. And really, why do you want to force people to do what you want them to do anyway?


How can I get my husband to trust me again?

The problem with the past is that even though it's over it's never forgotten.  Try more open communication and maybe even counseling.


you can easily test an IC by plugging it in a circuit board that works (meaning, other ICs with the same type works there). If you don't have other IC to compare with or don't have the testboard you can test it with a multimeter. See the spec sheet of the IC and try finding out which pins is doing what. And try input something, if the IC outputs correctly as expected, then the IC is ok (beware, don't do this to CMOS IC or any type of IC which is unable to have any of its unused pins is taken off*)\n\n* taken off means if a pin is unused, on some type of IC the pin may be bent so we can use the space below the unused ICs pin to make a connection line. TTL IC is safe to be used for this.
