Because Christ was not born on "Christmas" December 25. You are correct in the statement about snowfall in Bethleham. Winter in Bethlehem is a cold and rainy season, and a time when shepherds would not spend the nights outside with their flock. (Sheep have wool to keep them warm) Christ was likely born closer to springtime, as the shepherds WERE out with their flock overnight. The date for Christmas was actually stolen from Pagan Sun-worshipers and instituted as the birth of Jesus by emperor Constatine to try to unite his kingdom. Research it a little and you will find that even some of the clergy acknowledge this fact. Yet they still perpetuate the lie. \n\nSanta? Stolen from festivals in Holland.\nBesides Jesus never told his deciples to celebrate his birth. Aren't Christians supposed to be Christlike? In the Bible, the only meention of a birthday celebration during Jesus' life was of a Roman ruler that ended with John the Baptizer having his head cut off and served on a platter. You think Jesus likes Birthdays?

Somebody good like McCain should run as an Independent! The partisan politics of the Democrats and Republicans seems to cause a lot of nothing getting done for the sake of toeing the party line. I feel we need someone who can breach the impasse(s) that these parties seem to have caused over the years by uniting individuals from the "ruling" parties to take an active part in government. The current system needs some kind of "spanking" and only an independent can do it; I feel McCain is the man.

I am a Christian. A Christian is someone who believes that Jesus Christ died for their sins and that the only way into heaven in through him. When you believe in what he has done for you and accept him into your life and you decide to live for him - then you are a Christian. For more info see source below.

WOMEN WANT A MAN WHO WILL NEVER CHEAT ON THEM . ALWAYS BE COMMITTED TO THEM. NEVER LIE TO THEM. TO CHERISH THEM AND LOVE THEM FOREVER. THEY WANT A MAN WHO WOULD DIE FOR THEM. SOMEONE WHO WILL BE BY THEIR SIDE NO MATTER WHAT. IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN BUY HER OR WHAT SHE CAN BUY YOU. IF YOU CAN PROVIDE A GOOD HOME AND A GOOD LIFE THAT'S GREAT. JUST DON'T BASE YOUR RELATIONSHIP ON MONEY OR MATERIAL THINGS. THEY WANT A LIFE PARTNER-SOMEONE TO SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES WITH. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I WANT FOR ME. I AM NOT THE MATERIALISTIC TYPE. THEY ALSO NEED SOMEONE WHO THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO-WHETHER IT BE PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY AND SOMEONE WHO MAKES LOVE TO THEM-NOT JUST FUCKS THEM. SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE, NOT CRITISIZE THEIR LOOKS OR ANYTHING ELSE. JUST LOVE THEM THE WAY THEY ARE.

Your sister doesn't hate you, you probably just irritate the crap out of her, which is entirely natural and common. If you move up to her grade, give her a lot of space and pretend like she's not there, don't worry about it and enjoy everything you can, focus on the good. If she pokes at you and causes problems, tell someone, don't do it back, and go back to ignoring her and going on with life. She'll probably get to a point where she sees being mean doesn't work, and years in the future you'll probably get along just fine.

Typically the 3-4-5 triangle method is used during contruction of some sort where you need to ensure a right angle. You often know the length of one side of something and want to know where to place the other side so that it is at right angles.

Mars has two small moons: Phobos and Deimos. Phobos (fear) and Deimos (panic) were named after the horses that pulled the chariot of the Greek war god Ares, the counterpart to the Roman war god Mars. Both Phobos and Deimos were discovered in 1877 by American astronomer Asaph Hall. The moons appear to have surface materials similar to many asteroids in the outer asteroid belt, which leads most scientists to believe that Phobos and Deimos are captured asteroids.\n\nRefer to the source site for more info

The fact that female mammals produce milk for their young means that at birth a mammal can have a relatively large brain, although they are relatively helpless. Other animals have to be able to at least get around.\n\nBrains don't grow as much as other parts of the body, which is why babies seem to have large heads.\n\nThe obvious counter-example is birds, where the young are stuck in the nest and depend on their parents for food. However, flight puts a limit on how heavy a bird can be, and so how heavy its brain can be. But flightless birds are a possible candidate.\n\nAmphibians and reptiles are cold-blooded, which seems as though it would rule out our sort of intelligence. On the other hand, perhaps an intelligent crocodile would think of slowing down when the temperature drops much as we think of sleep. Remember that a large brain would mean a large egg (and you have to fit the rest of the body inside the egg as well).

Benjamin Franklin was among the first Americans to discuss the idea of Daylight Saving Time. In fact, he proposed the idea while serving as U.S. minister to France as a way of conserving the cost of lighting for shops. The purpose has been to essentially utilize more of the daylight hours in spring and summer for daytime activities. Simply put, the Sun is up longer in the sky (rises earlier and sets later) in summer. Clocks and common mechanical timepieces keep what's called civil time, which roughly corresponds to the passage of a fictitious "average" Sun through our sky. This is necessary since the Sun does not rise and set on a regular basis, but changes by as much as 15 minutes throughout the course of the year.\n\nDaylight Saving Time was generally adopted by countries around World War I, but President Wilson repealed the United States' mandatory daylight savings law on March 31, 1918. During World War II, Daylight Savings Time was reestablished by law on a year-round basis, and later seen as a fuel saving measure during the Arab Oil Embargo crisis of 1973-74. In late 1974, standard time was brought back. During World War II, the U.S. and some other countries implemented "double" daylight savings time consisting of a two hour shift.

A technique known as the "PC Squeeze" can help control premature ejaculation. This involves flexing the PC muscle repeatedly. You can find your PC muscle by stopping the flow of urine. The muscle that is used to stop the flow of urine (located between the scrotum and butthole) is also the muscle that controls ejaculation. Doing a PC workout each day can help strengthen the muscle. It recommended that you start easy: 3 sets of 15 squeezes followed by one long squeeze a the end. After a few weeks of this, the sets and reps can be increased to the point of fatigue.

As far as "fine dining" goes, there are multiple ways of setting a table, thus there are many different sets of sivlerware. The American Standard at a nice restaurant/banquet is to have two forks on the left (One slightly smaller than the other) and the two spoons and the knife on the right of the plate. The smaller of the two forks is used for the salad, and is always the fork on the farthest side (using the american standard.)\n\nYes, the forks differ other than size. One of the prongs on the salad fork usually resembles a tooth pick so you can grab the food that always slips away... like tomatoes.

Big Mraz fan... there's also other cds that can be bought if you check out his online store, which is in the source(s) list, but they took off "Jason Mraz Live", a CD I bought a couple months back, one of his early recordings. \n\nI love that album - doesn't feel commercial, its a live performance without the screaming fans that you'll find in his "Tonight Not Again" album (not that I particularly minded that - great songs on it), and I absolutely love the "Rand MacNally" track which, my guess is, the precursor to his hit "The Remedy".\n\nYou can also find Mraz singing "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" on the new Queen tribute album.

There is a computer that can tell, for each wheel, the speed the wheel is spinning, and also the rate at which the wheel is decellerating. The computer also controls a set of valves that regulate the brake fluid pressure to each tire. When the brakes are engaged, the computer monitors the wheels, and if any wheel begins to lock up, the computer releases the brakes on that wheel a little, until it speeds back up slightly, and the process repeats until all four wheels have stopped.

Other than the fact that venus is a goddess and mars is a god, I think the main reason was a marketing decision.

So they switched to Mars. Which is closer to earth, but not as close to the point as Uranus.

although it's no guarantee, it looks like the mets have a great shot at winning the nl east in 2006.\n\nthe 2005 standings:\n\natlanta: 90-72\nphilly: 88-74\nmets: 83-79\nflorida: 83-79\nwash: 81-81\n\nnow, washington performed well above what was expected of them, as they gave up 30 more runs than they scored. florida has traded all of their talent for prospects. therefore, those 2 teams are likely not going to win the division.\n\natlanta lost their leadoff batter and sparkplug rafael furcal and replaced him with edgar renteria, who was great two years ago but does not provide the same offensive or defensive weapons that furcal does. atlanta also got a monster year out of andruw jones, who likely will not repeat that performance. also, the braves lost their closer, kyle farnsworth, to the yankees and will likely go with chris reitsma, who was good but not great last year in limited duty. however, the young players on the braves roster such as jeff francoeur, adam laroche, and ryan langerhans should develop further. also, a full season of former mvp chipper jones would be helpful. that leaves the braves with a good chance to win 90 games again. \n\nthe phillies traded jim thome to the white sox for aaron rowand, which improves their team even though i feel they should have gotten more for thome. with a shot at first base for a full season, ryan howard should put up some incredible numbers. chase utley, their 2nd baseman, should also leap to stardom this year. however, the phillies other big star, bobby abreu, wants to be traded, and that most likely means that the phils will not get full value for him. lastly, they lost their elite closer, billy wagner, to the mets. tom gordon, though he's old, should be a serviceable replacement, but will not be as lights-out as wagner. unless brett myers becomes consistent and shows he can be an ace, the phillies pitching staff is comprised basically of a #2 starter, 3 #3 starters and a #4. many teams would be happy with that pitching staff, but it doesn't win the division for you.\n\nthat leaves the mets. the mets record last year was worse than it should have been, as they scored many more runs than they gave up. trading for carlos delgado to replace the worst 1b positional output in the majors will be a big boost. signing wagner to close instead of the shaky braden looper will help a lot as well, as looper blew 8 of 36 save chances. add in the continued development of david wright, who exploded at the end of last season, and jose reyes, as well as a bounceback year for center fielder carlos beltran, and the mets look very good up and down. paul lo duca should provide similar numbers to last year's fading mike piazza, but should also stay healthy, as the mets backup, ramon castro, is solid and should play every fourth game or so. the mike cameron-xavier nady trade made a lot of people say "huh?", but it's actually good for the mets, as victor diaz has proven himself worthy of a shot to play in right field every day. if jae seo gets a chance to start for the full season and performs like he did at the end of last season, he will be a solid #2 pitcher. problems could include the aging of tom glavine and steve trachsel, the inconsistency of kris benson, and the lack of bullpen depth. i'm not convinced that uber-GM omar minaya won't get his team more help in the bullpen, with rumors abound that the mets wish to sign danys baez, the devil rays all-star closer, to set up for wagner.\n\nall in all, this mets team could win 100 games and take the nl east easily.

The Urea (or the Krebs-Hensliet) cycle outlines the mechanism by which ammonia is finally produced in the final reaction (involving Arginine, if I am right)\n\nAmmonia excretion can also be regarded as excretion of Nitrogen from different intermediates in the body. All of these N containing intermediates converge into the TCA cycle from where they become amino acids through enzymes known as deaminases or transminases. These amino acids converge to a common amino acid (alanine in humans, if i recollect well) which then travels to Kidney and initiates the UREA cycle to finally result in the production of Ammonia

Yes. He murdered four people in cold blood. Volumes of evidence were presented proving his guilt. Even the 9th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, proven to be the most liberal, anti-death-penalty court in the nation, could not find sufficient cause to nullify the verdict. He received his fair trial, his fair appeals process. He continuously professed his innocence to delay (for nearly 30 years) his sentence, nothing more. He capitalized on the fact that American society, with it's EXTREMELY short attention span, would forget the horrific crimes he committed. He gambled on the possibility that we would forget what he did, become desensitized to it, and dismiss the jury's decision overly harsh. Some arguing in his defense tried to portray the jury as a bunch of racist white rich folks intent on "murdering another innocent black man" (it wasn't all-white, check the record).

a keyloid is a scar that has gone wild... it is usually caused by a bad wound on your body... I had one on my ear from a piercing and I have known other people to get them after they have had an surgery. mine looks like a peanut hanging off my ear but the ones on the skin look like raise skin. NO it is not cancerous and can be treated if you see a doctor with injections or removal all together

Being a Navy wife for 30 years, I would say the Air Force. The brances go by reading levels. Air Force, Navy, Marine, Army are the levels. Then you want the pay. Same levels. Education, Medical, Dental is offered by all branches no difference. You want to get a job that pays good and one that advancement is in. It is all about time in and money. When the recuritor tells you you will be getting your Medical "Free" that used to make me laugh, because it comes out of your taxes you are paying for it. Not the president. No there is no money transpired, but you are still paying for it. If you want to go into the service, go to college first, go in as an officer not a civilian. Money money money. That is what you want to get. Your rate and rank has to go up.You will always be tested to achive a better rate. Now, it is a big commetment. You are going to get married to the service. There is no way out until your tour is up and then they ask you if you want to stay in. Will you be educated enough from the military to go out into the world and get a good paying job? Suppose you fall in love and get married, you cannot live on base unless you are a certain rate. Base living is very nice, but you are not making a lot of money. So now you have to live off base. Rent is high. So no marriage until your first tour is up get your education and your money. Better still, go to college before you go into any branch of the service. \nPlease go to college first.

Python is a computer language, much like Basic or C or Cobol is a language. It's an interpretive language, and so often when you install other software, Python is installed with it.\n\nPerhaps some program that you installed also installed Python. Several BitTorrent programs were written in Python. It's an open source language, so consider what programs you have installed recently. \n\nCan you delete it? Most likely. But there's a good chance that something won't run - probably just a software package that you picked up along the way. But if something stops running, you can always re-install Python.\n\nSee http://www.python.org

Watch for the red flags prior to marriage. But when in love, we often miss the red flags, so if that happens, here are what I consider serious and justifiable grounds:\n\nAdultery -- many people can't move past this. It's a physical betrayal, but also tears at you emotionally. I personally think it's one of the most difficult ones to resolve.\n\nAbuse -- physical or verbal. Verbal often gets overlooked, but it's namecalling, screaming at you rather than holding a normal conversation, talked down to, and did I mention yelling and screaming? If you ask the person a normal question, like "do you have any change for the toll?" and they start screaming that "all you do is harp about money," you've got a problem. Physical is obvious, but don't overlook punching walls, breaking dishes, etc. Watch out for signs of roughness or meanness to your children and pets too.\n\nControl Freaks: This is also a form of abuse, but these men want to know your every move, monitor your phone calls, read your email and voice mails, won't let you go to the mall alone, etc. Insist that if you get a new hairdo or buy a new dress, it must be because you're cheating with someone. This is usually disguised as jealousy which women may think lattering -- at first. Don't be fooled. Control freaks also don't want you to hold a job or have any money of your own. You must beg for an "allowance."\n\nFinancial: There are a lot of men who live off women. They have jobs when you meet them. Then, something happens, and it's always the company or bosses fault. They tell you they're out job hunting, but nothing is happening. Next comes laying around on the couch all day, sleeping, watching tv or guzzling beer. Weeks turn into months and it's just you working. Or, the person flits from job to job and can't hold a job. This man will plunge you right into financial ruin and guess what -- you can't get them out of the house all that easy, if it happens to be your house and not a joint home. Keep an eye out that they don't dip into your wallet. A dollar or two missing, here and there, usually becomes much more. You'll get behind on bills, your credit will suffer. Don't stand for this.\n\nAddictive behavior: Drugs, alchoholism, gambling. Will cause you nothing but stress, pain and financial hardship. Don't try to be the hero and "help" the person out of despair. Unless you are rich enough to get them into very good rehab, like the movie stars do, it probably won't work. Addicts can only be helped if they want to be and you'll be surprised how many enjoy the behavior and have no desire to give it up. I've seen men go to AA or a counseling session, come right out and stop at a bar. It is almost a joke with them. You may keep gamblers out of casinos, but they'll spend a whole paycheck on lottery tickets or the football pool.\n\nIllegal behavior: Selling drugs, stealing, pulls insurance scams, (or any scams), etc., RUN. He'll eventually get caught and you might get implicated too! Do you want his record to become yours?\n\nGood luck.

I'm generally a quiet person, and I was very quiet around my now-girlfriend when I first met her. I think that likely drove her crazy... because she couldn't tell how I felt about her. After we hooked up and started seeing each other more often, my feelings just came through. I couldn't hold them to myself. There was a need to share them with her that I just couldn't imagine keeping inside.\n\nBut that's me - and not everyone is the same. Some people are emotionally sheltered and prefer to keep their feelings hidden away. Body language, gestures, and general mood and disposition toward you can give you clues as to how your significant other really feels. The question you need to ask, when you're finding yourself actively looking for attention like this, is whether or not you can be happy in the long term under these circumstances.\n\nPeople are tough to change, and if this is something you need, and your significant other is having a hard time dealing with that... you may need to re-evaluate your situation, or have a long and frank discussion with them regarding this.

Hi !!!\n\n"The term "Web 2.0" refers to what some people see as a second phase of development of the World Wide Web, including its architecture and its applications. As used by its proponents, the phrase allegedly refers to one or more of the following:\n\n> a transition of websites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming a computing platform serving web applications to end users \n\n> a social phenomenon referring to an approach to creating and distributing Web content itself, characterised by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and "the market as a conversation" \n\n> a more organized and categorized content, with a far more developed deeplinking web architecture. \n\n> a shift in economic value of the web, up past a trillion dollars surpassing that of the dot com boom of the late 1990s."\n\nGo through the full article here >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0\n\n\nThis article will be of interest "What Is Web 2.0 -by Tim O'Reilly" http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html\n\n\n>>> Naveen Kumar

This is pretty much a question of the definition you are using.\n\nIn a strict definition, conventional solids have a crystalline structure. Under this definition, glass is a supercooled, highly viscous liquid rather than a conventional (crystalline) solid. \n\nIn many ways, glass acts like a solid. Using that behaviour as a criterion, glass is a solid.

"This too shall pass" is the title of a poem by Helen Steiner Rice. \n\nThe almost identical phrase: "And this, too, shall pass away" has been traced to an Abraham Lincoln speech. \n\nIt could just be a deliberate reference to the Bible: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." (Matthew 24:35 and elsewhere). \n\nApparently it was old Persian proverb and a Hebrew parable: \n\n... written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: gimel, zayin, yud, which began the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" -- "This too shall pass."

Yes.\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a 1960 novel by Harper Lee, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It was made into an Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Gregory Peck by director Robert Mulligan in 1962. A coming-of-age story, it is told from the point of view of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, the young daughter of Atticus Finch, an educated lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama, a small town in the deep South of the United States. She is accompanied by her brother Jem and their mutual friend Dill.\n\nTruman Capote was a lifelong friend of childhood neighbor Lee, and allegedly was the inspiration for Dill's character in her best-seller. Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of her novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person—Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's— has gone on record as believing his assertions were true.\n\nThe title of the book is taken from Atticus's advice to his children about firing their air rifles at birds: "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". The blue jay is a very common bird, and is often perceived as a bully and a pest, whereas mockingbirds do nothing but "sing their hearts out for us". Metaphorically, several of the book's characters can be seen as "mockingbirds", attacked despite doing nothing but good. The mockingbird represents innocence, and to kill one is to metaphorically kill innocence. Note that the protagonists are also named after birds: Tom Robinson and the Finch family. However, "Finch" was also Lee's mother's maiden name.\n\nHarper Lee stated, "To get the ideas for the book I used recent events in my time like the Scottsboro Trials." (Harper Lee, Book Review, 1964)\n\nThe events of this book's publication and the following film are also subjects of the 2005 film Capote starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote and Catherine Keener as Harper Lee. It is also an excellent film and will likely be considered in one category or another for an Academy Award.

Immanuel means "God with us." It was used in the Biblical prophets to predict the coming of Jesus (Isaiah 7 and 8) and is referred to in Matthew 1, when the angel Gabrial announces the birth of Jesus to Joseph. Here's an excerpt from Matthew:\n\nThis is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. \n\n But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins." \n\n All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"[d]—which means, "God with us." \n\n When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

It depends. Just about any binoculars provide good view. Make certain you stay away from very strong magnifications, otherwise you will need a tripod to keep them steady and may get dizzy without it. The larger magnifications also limit your field of view. \n\nI have some 8x42 Nikons that are great. \n\nJust in case you are not aware: the first number given in the binocular is the magnification. Stick with 7 or 8. The 10s you will need the stabilization electronics or a mono/tripod. \n\nThe second number provides information on how much light comes through the lens. \n\nFor example...if you were to compare the same brand and model with the exception of the number difference: 8x25 vs 8x42: \n\nThe 8x25 will provide the same size image but the 8x42 will provide a brighter image. If you are thinking about purchasing online...before you do find a camera store or a sporting goods store to see how they feel and get a better feel for what you really want. Hope that helps...happy star viewing!\n\nAlso another possible source for help would be to see if there is a local star party group in your area. Drop by one night; it can be fun to meet some experienced viewers with telescopes already setup as well as some people who have the really large expensive scopes which you may not be able to afford.
