I subscribed to your request at http://somebody.needsyourprayers.com/, so I'm reminded by email each morning to pray for you and your family. (Have you been checking http://somebody.needsyourprayers.com/manageRequests.php to see how many people have been praying?)

Sign up and tell everyone you know about it.

It makes no sense whatsoever for God to allow angels to impregnate humans. It does, however, make for interesting fiction. The Bible is not fiction.

It's clear that the Sons of God are the descendants of Seth, and the daughters of men are female descendants of Cain.

Also, the result fits what we know about genetics. If you have two, separate genetic groups that are somewhat inbred, then a cross between the two produce an offspring with above-average physical traits. Thoroughbred horses are an example of this. The hybrid vigor present in cross breed dogs also demonstrates this.

I upgraded and now it's running like some garbage software put out from a third world country. When I try to export as pdf, it puts the original extension on it, even though "Auto Extension" is checked. Any documents I save winds up begin trashed, and unusable. It's a mess.

I never had time to discuss blogs in the past and never thought I would want to but, I've had a change of mind. It appears a lot of sites are available for these. Could some of you help me understand some of the following:

How do I start a blog?

You can use one of the free blogging services like http://blogger.com or http://homeschoolblogger.com, or you can set up your own on a hosting account.

Who can see your blog once you start one?

Anyone, if you want. There are ways to limit who sees it, but what would be the point?

How secure is a blog from others editing/spamming/etc?

Pretty secure except for comments, depending on how it's set up.

Can others leave comments about your blog comments?

Generally

Is there a cost involved with having a blog?

Not for the free ones. The hosting option can be as low as $5 a month

Is there a way to prevent obscene ads from appearing on your blog page?

If you you use http://homeschoolblogger.com there'd be clean ads. If you did your own via hosting, you don't even need ads.

Is there a lot of time required to create a blog page?

The free services have a variety of templates. Even using a hosting plan the scripts come with a few templates

A lot of people here use http://blogspot.com/ is this a Christian blog location?

Definitely not. They also host blogs by pedophiles.

Can someone provide a few best practice or best in class example pages?

My blog's a http://JackLewis.net. My wife's at http://LindaCarlton.net.

I'd like to see them try to stop me. I wouldn't allow my daughter to be a part of such a shameful display. You have to stand your ground, or integrity means nothing.

I used to deliver pizza and was surprised to find that I got bigger tips from people living in mobile homes than people living in mansions (or big expensive houses).

If I got 5% I was happy.

The official "Ick Factor" equation works like this...

(His age/2)+7 <= Her age

So based on that, 29/2 = 14.5. 14.5+7=21.5. You are inside the "Ick Factor".

But there are other factors, and people above have mentioned.

I have the old blog posts to prove that I had even more frustration with XP than I am now having with Vista. It's just a change problem. Vista is a good OS. Matter of fact, my wife (who has XP on her laptop) has to reboot more often than I do.

In that meaning of safe' date=' Linux is just like any other operating system. It won't harm your hardware all by itself; no major operating system conains code designed to burn hardware. There is some malware that can do that, but it's all written for Windows, like most viruses are. Most of the time, hardware just fails from natural wear and tear (poor quality or defective hardware usually wears out first obviously).[/quote']
The hardware's fine. the system crashed and had to be re-installed. It did it a few weeks after installing Ubuntu, so I was worried about a connection.

Last year I played around with an ubuntu install on my laptop. I installed it as a dual boot, secondary to my Vista OS. It ran okay, but it was during that time that my computer went belly up. I've been hesitant to reinstall it lest it prove to be the cause of the problems.

But I was intrigued but the recent articles first touting Linux as DOA in the marketplace (ZDnet: Windows kicks Linux to the curb) and next promoting a marketing effort to improve Linux's popularity. (ZDNet: I am Linux). While I find Linux interesting, I was glad to be able to get back to Vista. However, I don't see it as a doomed OS, because there are too many people who prefer it for a variety of reasons, not all of them as silly as "It's not a product of evil capitalists". Personally I find it interesting albeit ultimately not that useful unless I'm unable to get one of the other two major OSes.

So how safe is it? What are the odds that it was the Ubuntu install that trashed my laptop? I would like to re-install it if it's not going to be a problem.

You only need to be ahead by one point to win. A 100-0 score is shameful. From what I hear the standard "spostmanlike" rule-of-thumb is to put in the second string once you're 20 points a head, and play defense only when you're ahead by more than 40 points. If my daughter had been playing on the winning team, I probably would have pulled her out at half time (when they were ahead 49-0) and told the coach a thing or two.

I got a 1g cheapie from Wal-Mart last year, and used it a while. I mostly put sermons I downloaded from oneplace.com, but I haven't used it in months.

I'm working on a site that will help in this area, but I now have to set it aside to work on other projects. The demo page is at http://somebody.needsyourprayers.com/. I'm only a few days away from completing it, so once my immediate workload subsides I may be able to finish it. The basic "How To" goes...

To Request Prayer...

Requesting prayer is as easy as joining, then filling out the request form. Your request will be listed and our Prayer Warriors will "subscribe" to that request. When they subscribe they'll be emailed a list of those requests each day to remind them, and they'll then have an opportunity to note that they've prayed. You can check back each day to see how many people have prayed for your request. Requests may only last a specified time, a maximum of 2 weeks or shorter if you want. You can renew the request when it expires if you want, but please post a response, so those praying will know if it's been answered.

To Pray for others...

After joining and logging in, you'll need to browse through the requests using the sort criteria or a search. Once you've found a request you will "subscribe" to it by adding it to your list. Each day your list will be emailed to you. There will be a form which you can check off the requests as you pray for them, and submit the form so those making the request can know someone has prayed for them. As requests expire they will be removed from your list. It's a good idea to decide how many requests you can pray for each day and keep that number in your list. You may also include personal reminders in your prayer list to pray for.

I found this follow up reply on Boortz...

An apology from the heart to the airmen of Luke

Jul. 9, 2005 12:00 AM

Regarding "Flyby honoring fallen comrade" Letters, June 28):

I read with increasing embarrassment and humility the response to my unfortunate letter to The Republic concerning an Air Force flyby ("A wake-up call from Luke's jets," Letters, June 23).

I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known.

I have received many calls from the fine airmen who are serving or have served at Luke, and I have attempted to explain my side and apologized for any discomfort my letter has caused.

This was simply an uninformed citizen complaining about noise.

I have been made aware in both written and verbal communications of the four-ship flyby, and my heart goes out to each and every lost serviceman and woman in this war in which we are engaged.

I have been called un-American by an unknown caller and I feel that I must address that. I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran. I love my country and respect the jobs that the service organizations are doing.

Please accept my heartfelt apologies.

Is there a link to the original source of this?

To clear things up...

A. These are chores they know how to do.
B. These are chores they've seen me or my wife do.
C. Every single time my wife has "helped" them with their chore, it's taken at least twice as long to get done and my wife winds up doing 90-95% of the work.
D. Every single time my wife has "helped" them with their chores it grows into a repeated pattern of the kid wandering off, my wife angrily hunting them down and chewing them out before bringing them back to the chore, then the process repeats again.

For those who think it is possible to "work with" kids, please give some real life examples. And not just one time; examples of it actually happening in a positive way on a repeated basis.

But his lofty principals didn't prevent him from agreeing to work on Sunday? I guess he could have been a Seventh-Day whatever, but the article doesn't say.

I wrote this a while back...

What is a Theocracy?

the

I am far from an expert in this, but I do have experience with international law which deals with treaties, boarders, accords, and the like. But as I understand it, there was a Palestinian state (called Palestine) since the fall of the Roman empire. Then, and basically without warning (I believe it was in 1948), the UK (who had previously colonized Palestine), US and a few others "carved out" the state of Israel from what had previously been part of Palestine. I'm not saying this was a right or wrong, or wise or unwise move. However, I do understand how it must have been for those Palestinians that had been living in Palestine for generations to be told to leave all you own and all you know because some country thousand of miles away says so. Let's say you live in south TX and one day our government and a few others says that, "well we have evidence that your land used to belong to Mexico, and we are going to give it back and you have to leave."

In no way am I justifying the actions of Hamas, just merely stating a factual situation, as I understand it.

Some really big gaps in that explanation. What is today Israel, Gaza, the West Bank AND Jordan was "Palestine" about 50 some odd years ago. It was occupied by Jews and some Bedouin that wandered in and out. After the Holocaust the US and the UK decided that Jews would be safer in their own nation, and since the UK at the time had control of "Palestine" they divided it into three parts: a thin sliver along the coast for the Jews, everything east of the Jordan for the Bedouin and any other Arabs, and a large buffer zone. The Hashemites, and relative of the Arabs, immediately took over the Arab part, renamed in "Trans-Jordan" (later named Jordan) so the Arabs claimed the large buffer zone. Not long after that Israel was attacked by virtually every nation that it bordered, in an effort to destroy the nation and take the land away from the Jews. Israel proceeded to whoop some Arab hinny, and not only successfully defended the land they'd been given, but took a large part of Lebanon, Egypt, the Buffer Zone and Jordan. Israel returned most of what it took from Lebanon,Jordan and Egypt in exchange for peace agreements. Israel kept the Golan Heights, Gaza and the Buffer Zone. Arabs immediately began screaming that the Buffer Zone was actually "Palestine" and that Israel had "stolen" it from them, ignoring the nation of Jordan which had actually been stolen from them.

So the land the Palestinians have been whining about, was never theirs. The massive amount of land given them was taken by the Hashemites, which they completely ignore. It's never been about land. It's about driving all Jews into the sea. The Palestinians will admit that, often, in Arabic, but Liberals tend to ignore that, and accuse Israel of genocide fro not allowing the Palestinians to continue murdering Israeli women and children.

Turned 46 a few weeks ago.

I'm still developing my new site, http://Somebody.NeedsYourPrayers.com. and I'm trying to think of appropriate categories for prayer requests. So far I have...

salvation
health
financial
safety
mental/emotional
revival
guidance/wisdom
unspoken

...These are what the prayers are for, not who they are for. Does anyone have any more suggestions.

My wife and I have a debate.

She says we should "work with" the kids to "show" them how to do chores.

I say "working with" inevitably turns into "doing for" and simply teaches them that someone else will cover for them. They should do it on their own, with no help.

We're talking about kids 9 or 10 and older doing usual household chores like dishes, laundry and picking up rooms.

When the Soviet Union fell and several hard-line communists were fighting the end of communism in Russia, the American Media had the gall to gall the hard-line Communists, "Conservatives".

Just an update:
Google Chrome newest version 2.0.156.1, fixed alot of the annoyances that people were having. Here are a few.


In my opinion, a good update.

Mine says it's up-to-date with 1.0.154.43. Is 2.whatever as beta?
