Moved into a house and found it is actually a 'bed bug' house. We reported this problem to the landlord and had three times pest control in this 3 weeks. During this time, we stayed overnight in friend's room and only slept in house twice. One is the first night when we didn't know we got bugs in room, and the second time was when new mattress arrived and also 7 days after pest control. However, that night i only slept one hour and was woken up by bed bug bite.
Under this condition, all our flatmates have no intention to live here anymore. The pest control guy told us 'try to live normally' and if still got bug bites, call him. That means we have to be landlord's guinea pig and helping him found out where the bugs hide by sleeping in his unfit-to-live house. My flatmate was seriously bitten and had to took 7 days antibiltics pills. Though number of bugs are decreasing, but we still want to move. Can anyone from uk provide us legal advise coz the landlord doesn't agree us to move. tks.

So we've got a number of pots brewing right now. We've got our occupation of Iraq, our potential invasion of Iran, and a potential attack by North Korea. Sound like we're going to need quite a number more troops. Where will they come from? If a draft were to occur I would do everything in my power to dodge it. How about you? Perhaps if Wisconsin (where I live) were being invaded and people I know were threatened. But that would be a crazy circumstance. Other then that I can't imagine allowing myself to be put in that situation. I would feel like I was fighting for the wrong things. Maybe even for the wrong side, in some circumstances. What do you think?

I've been with my boyfriend for 5 years. We've been through the ups, downs and and all arounds together and we've survived it all. The only problem that has always been there and not sure will ever go away is the issue of appearence. My parents, my sister and my best friend think he is ugly and not good enough for me. I'll admit he doesn't look like the model boyfriend my sister has, but I love him. His teeth are crooked and noticeable when he smiles, he is prone to gaining weight, his skin is not too smooth and he can never find a haircut that suits him. sometimes I am ashamed to let everyone know he is mine. I try to get him on a diet, get braces ect. but it makes his confiednce low. when he gaines weight I find myself unattracted to him and weeks can go by without having sex. Aside from that he is an amazing person, and I don't think I could find anyone else like him. I know i'm going to marry him one day, but I am afarid the relationship will be weak. I'm so confused......

I'd like to know what foods you typically choose in certain situations. Like right now I'm sick, I typically eat salty things when I'm sick (probably some medical bumbo-jumbo behind that)...pretzels, crackers with tomato soup...that kind of stuff. You pick the situations and the food.

Looking for the site which is consistently the cheapest (ticket price, service charge, postage), most reliable and has the best access to tickets. Similar opinions on theatre / hotel package sites would be welcome as well i.e. standard of hotel, total price

Based on actual experience please, rather than a random Google search.

There are many questions which come to mind when the name Jesus is mentioned. Some people say he was a prophet, others call him a god, while others say he was a very wise man. But whatever your idea is, one thing remains certain: he was not your ordinary man. So if there is something special about him, why all the confusion? Just who was Jesus anyway?


His Origins
Jesus lived about 2,000 years ago in ancient Palestine during the height of the Roman Empire. He was not conceived in the usual way, but was implanted in the womb of a young woman named Mary. God simply commanded "Be" and he was. In this sense, he was "a word" of God and a special sign for humanity. In fact, he was the last in a long line of religious guides sent to the Jewish people.


Mary, The Blessed
Mary was a righteous woman. Her mother dedicated her to God's service even before she was born. As a child, she lived a life marked by health and goodness which others pointed to in admiration. She was raised by the wise Zacharias who instilled in her a beautiful sense of faith in God. When she had become a young woman, Mary sought to purify herself further before her Lord. Knowing that the hustle of life in the towns was distracting, she withdrew from her people to a sanctuary in the East. There she could meditate in seclusion and peace. Suddenly, on a day that seemed no different from the rest, an angel of God visited her, disguised in the likeness of a human. Afraid of so strange a sight, Mary prayed for protection, but the strange being reassured her and declared that he was a messenger from the Lord to announce the glad-tidings of a faultless son. Mary, astounded, asked how this was possible seeing that no man ever touched her. But the angel replied, "Your Lord says, It is easy for Me …".

But when she felt the little child within her, she fled her sanctuary out of fear of what her family would do or say when they heard the news. Mary, however, was not to face hardship. When in her despair she cried out to God for oblivion, a voice soothed her and she found shade and a cool spring. Under a date-palm in the warmth of late summer, she made her dwelling and there bore the child unlike any other in human history.

Shortly thereafter, Mary returned to her community carrying the child who was to be called Messiah, Jesus, and son of Mary. When her people saw her with the baby in her arms they couldn't believe their eyes, let alone accept her word. They refused to believe when she told of an angel who came and told her she was chosen above all other women to carry this burden. They accused her of infidelity and implied that she ruined the family name. Mary, being overwhelmed, simply motioned towards the child meekly.



The Miracles
Now the child was the product of a miracle and consequently, miraculous things began to happen. In defense of his mother and of the truth, the infant Jesus spoke saying, "I am a servant of God. He has given me Scripture and has made me a Prophet. He has blessed me wherever I may be and has made prayer and charity my duty as long as I live. " This put the detractors to rest.

Throughout his youth, Jesus remained dutiful to his mother and developed quickly in intelligence, wisdom, and piety He dumfounded the learned and was greatly admired by those around him who appreciated his talents. He claimed to be a sign of God and a Messenger to the Israelites.

His people had strayed from tl1e spirit of truth and placed their trust in legalism, thereby burying their sense of mercy beneath dusty scrolls and rituals. Finally, when he came of age, Jesus began to travel and preach throughout the land of Palestine about a return to the truth of the old revelations and a rejection of all that man had added. In his task he was supported by the spirit of truth, the angel Gabriel.



The Gospel, His Message
He taught that love and mercy overcome hate and anger and that only a true and sincere faith in the Creator and obedience to His will can bring a person salvation in this life as well as in the next. To reinforce his message which was called "Injeel" (Good News) God granted him the performance of miracles. He healed the sick, enheartened the distressed and revived the dead. All these things he did with the permission of God, never taking credit for them himself.

He led a simple and pious life. Soon he attracted an inner-circle of devoted followers who listened to his teachings with fervor and humility. These disciples, among them Peter, Barnabas, and John helped him carry the message of Divine Love to the people. They helped him in his mission.



A Test of Wills
But no righteous man of God is without trial and tribulation. As the message of Jesus began to gain wider acceptance, a small clique of hypocrites and evil men began to plot against him. They were the priests and leaders of the Jews whose position and wealth depended upon their place as the sole interpreters of religion to the masses. They pursued him and his followers and eventually captured him. Though they abused him, he never renounced his faith in the one God. So in their anger they plotted to crucify him on a Roman cross. But Jesus slipped from their grip at the last moment, and all the while they thought they had succeeded. They were sure they killed him but God answered Jesus' prayer and saved him from their schemes. Confusion overtook the mob and they might have killed the man who betrayed Jesus instead. In any case, Jesus escaped from their grasp. Then God removed Jesus from this world into another dimension, to a place with Him, not to return until a later time.

With their teacher gone, the devoted followers of Jesus tried to maintain the purity and simplicity of his teachings. But they were, soon besieged and overtaken by a flood of Roman and Greek influences which eventually so buried and distorted the message of Jesus that only a little of its truth now remains. Strange doctrines of Jesus being a man-god, of God dying, of saint worship and of God being made up of different parts came into vogue and were accepted by many of those who took the name "Christians" centuries after Jesus.


Conclusion
The only records that have come down to us concerning Jesus are some sketchy biographical material, poorly researched and compiled, which can in no way be representative of the full and accurate Message of Jesus, the Son of Mary. The time of the final and incorruptible Message was not yet at hand. It would be left to the last prophet of God, Muhammad, to clarify the truth from man's additions and deletions.

Jesus taught the same eternal message taught by all the Messengers of God. From Adam, on through Noah, Abraham, Moses and ending with the mission of God's last Guidepost to humanity, Muhammad, whose coming was foretold by Jesus himself.

Every nation and every people, from the Aztecs to the Greeks, have received a Prophet or a Messenger from God. Jesus was the last of a series of Messengers sent to the Israelites, but they consistently strayed from the path of surrender to God. Each of the many Messengers spoke a different language and followed varied customs. Yet the core faith taught by each was the same: surrender your imperfect and fickle will to the perfect will of the Power that is greater than you. You will then find the peace and freedom that only the Creator of humanity can provide. Then you must do what is right and good to your fellow creatures. This way of life is called Islam (surrender to God and find peace).

In recent "The Apprentice", Tarek put in his resume to Donald Trump that he was a Mensan. Donald Trump was very impressed, praised him a lot and gave him headstart as project manager in 1st episode. But after Tarek did not perform, Tarek was slammed/condemned many times by Trump in subsequent episodes. Mentioning Mensa membership can be a liability later as there may more pressure on person to perform when he gets the job but does it increase chances of getting the job during interview stage?
