It says in James that pure religion undefiled is to take care of the widows and the orphans while Republicans want to strip away or greatly decrease social benefits, such as Medicare. Also, Republicans are pro-Death penalty. Come on, life is either sacred or it's not.

Yes, Democrats as a whole take the stand on pro-Abortion and pro gay rights. But which is worse? Not taking care of people, shooting down people in other countries, lying, stripping us of our freedom of privacy, or saying it's okay for homosexuals to get married? I am sick of the "You can't be a democrat and a Christian" crap.

I am working on a project for a local gym. They have just purchased new equipment from a "Curves" gym. However, they do not have the franchise on "Curves" and they want to use the equipment to set up a similar program. My job is to think of a name that is similar to "Curves" so that women will realize what the program is like. What are your ideas?

What Benedict has said about Muslims is positively benign compared to what he has said about homosexuals.

Since homosexuals don't kill nuns, burn churches and just blow up people at random, I'm guessing they won't be getting an apology anytime soon.

I hav read the book "101 contradictions in the Bible" and was surprised it contained so many contradictions....

How can a divine revealtion contradict itself..how can the word of GOD contradict itself..its something like GOD forgets and make mistakes..such a GOD doesnt deserve to be worshipped

Plz clarify..if u dont believe that the bible contradicts itself ..take a look at this link--

I'm a senior majoring in human resources and I would like to get an HR related internship. However I really need to get going on getting one and I got an interview for a management trainee internship at Wal-greens. I don't want to continue in retail, but is this still good experience in management and HR? I'm so scared if I accept this internship I'll regret it (if I'm offered the position). Any thoughts, opinions?

I am a single mom and my daughter plays on a soccer team. I made friends with another single mom and really enjoy being with her a lot!
Her and her daughter have stayed over a few times, the last time after we put our daughters to bed we had a bottle of wine and watched a movie on the couch. we started cuddling, which lead to soft kissing which lead to undressing. and ended up in my bedroom.

The whole thing was wonderful!!!!

The question is I have never been with a woman before, should I go down this path? will it confuse my daughter? will my family kill me?

What do you think?

My 1 month son sleeps, then twitches which causes him to wake up crying. Any solutions without using medicine? I swaddle him tightly with a variety of swaddlers and techniques but no luck. He sleeps in his own crib with the only light being a lamp.

Back-to-School with an Apple a Day?
Natural Cures Tip of the Week

Week of Sept 17th, 2006
Week of September 17th, 2006


Back-to-School with an Apple a Day?



Autumn signals not only the return of school days for many, but the organic apple farmer to our local farmer's markets. It was Benjamin Franklin who coined the phrase, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". True. But, it took until 2003, to find out that apples have 16 different biologic polyphenols. Polyphenols have a variety of different functions in the human body, including acting as antioxidants. One particular antioxidant, called quercetin, is not just a boon to the brain, but studies have shown that it may reduce cancer risks and prevent other diseases. Fresh, organic, whole apples are the best form of the fruit, as quercetin is found primarily in apple skin. Polyphenols may be responsible for some of the health-promoting effects of apples recognized by Franklin more than 200 years ago, but the apples in Franklin's day weren't treated with toxic or persistent pesticides. Today, apples are on the list of the most contaminated fruits and vegetables. So, while it's still better that kids eat any apple rather than modern junk food, an organic apple a day (the way they used to be grown) is the best apple to keep the doctor away - according to both old wisdom and 21st century wisdom. See more information in Chapter 6 of the Natural Cures book).



A highly respected magazine for kids, once ad-free, is now packed with ads for fast food, candy, sugary cereals, snack cakes, and other products. At a time when nutrition-related health crises plague our nation, and especially our youth, it is unconscionable that this magazine has chosen to cram its pages with ads for meals such as fried chicken fingers with French fries, which provides 590 calories and more than half-a-day's worth of fat and sodium. Junk food ads are clearly a major source of revenue for this magazine and others, in spite of some of the following facts which are not getting enough attention:




Feeding children hot dogs increases their risk of brain cancer by 300%. Strawberry yogurt, fruit punch and other red-looking grocery products are often colored with dead, ground-up cochineal beetles. The ingredient, called "carmine," is made from insects, and is listed on the label of many favorite foods.

Many Florida oranges are actually dipped in an artificial orange dye in order to make them visually appealing; the same dye that's been banned for use in foods because of cancer risk.

Girl Scout cookies are still made with hydrogenated oils that contain trans fatty acids, which are common in foods kids eat, including fried foods like French fries, and in many baked goods (cookies, pastries, crackers, chips, etc.).

Eating just one serving of processed meat each day increases your risk of pancreatic cancer by 67%. How many processed meat sandwiches are eaten daily?



Much is being said these days about incorporating healthier foods into the school lunch programs, but home is still the best starting point. Children, especially younger ones, learn by imitation of those around them. If foods at home are healthy, kids will pick their favorites from among healthy choices provided. It helps if the healthy choices are also tasty and appealingly presented. Sneak healthy vegetables or fruits into baked goods, if necessary, and as a safety net in this processed-food world, use daily multivitamins.



It's hard to overestimate the enormous potential of families sharing meals together in this day and age. Prepare to be inspired! Try one new fruit or vegetable a week; take your children shopping and pick out the right foods for you and them; choose the healthiest version of snack foods if you do consume them; discuss dietary changes with your family. Family meals are associated with better nutrition, better health, better behavior, and happier children and parents. Experts are wringing their hands about the obesity epidemic in children, depression in teens; citizens are concerned about violence, educators are distressed by falling school performance. Getting kids to eat healthy can be frustrating, but as kids eat more meals at home with their parents, they naturally begin to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy dairy products than their peers do. Fast-food meals more than twice a week are associated with increased obesity and type 2 diabetes. Studies show that youth who eat more family meals perform better in school, spend more time on homework, get better grades, and spend more of their free time reading for pleasure; perhaps, while enjoying their fresh, juicy, organic "apple for the day". Thank you, Benjamin!

Our relationship was going well for the first year and half and we even made it through his first year @ college while i was a sr in hs. Now we both have been in college for about 2-3 years and over the summers he treats me wonderfully but when we come back to school, he treats me 100% different. I live with some of my girlfriends and he lives w/ som of his guy friends and we never see one another half the time. once back @ school he never makes time for me. He would rather spend his time watching FB or playing video games but then when does have time i don't, i have work to do. Our 3 year anniversary is coming up in a week and he didn't take me out for it last year and now he isnt sure he will this year. He suggests we go out on the day of it which doesn't work out for me because I have class @ night and a test the next day so i need to study. I suggest we go out the weekend before or after but he says no he wants to hang w/ the guys. WHY IS HE BEING THIS WAY???
