after repeated viewings and listenings...i still find nothing but elitist absurdity in opera...
i used to claim incomprehension about the value of country & western...and though i still detest it, i can now acknowledge its merit in the scheme of things .... but i cant with opera.

all i can think is that it was an absurd varient that got taken up by the wealthy ethically challenged classes, and outlived its proper 10 year fad lifespan, to somehow survive, much like some prehistoric fish...right up to the present day!

its an obsolete throwback to the days when there was no amplification available, and hence singers had to sing in an absurd unnatural way in oerder to compete with an orchestra..

i could ramble on, but i feel im already wasting too much breath on this old dinosaur called opera.

I am a young practicing corporate attorney with an interest in business. Eventually, I would like to make a transition to something more financially involved and entrepreneurially oriented. Business school seems an ideal place for me because I can build my business knowledge by taking accounting and finance classes (thus, giving myself the business background that I do not have now).

Do business schools value legal experience without a business background? Would I be better off taking a signficant paycut to try and do something financially oriented now to help myself get into business school?

Any help and suggestions are much appreciated!

I was talking on AIM with a girl friend, and I am a guy. She started telling me about her boyfriend fingering her to 10 orgasms. I read what she had to say, but I was a little uncomfortable to say the least. I responded by answering questions she had about things, but I apologized the next day for letting our conversation deteriorate. She said she did not mind, and she needed to hear what I said. She then started talking about it again. Why would she want to talk about this with me??

I am beeing seen by a doctor and I am getting an ultrasound today but I was just wondering if anyone had experienced red bleeding on and off in their first trimester ( medium flow )?
Yesterday a had stomach pains but they went away. It could be a miscarriage, but do miscarriages bleed on and off like that? Is there still hope for my baby?

Thank you for sharing your experiences with me.

Having now successfully caught one (thanks for your suggestions earlier). I now want to know the most humane way to kill it. I'm reluctant to throw it straight in to boiling water as it's sqealing will annoy the neighbours but it won't stay still long enough for me to slit it's throat.

Any ideas??......

And how do you distinguish self-righteous service from true other-centered service?

NOTE:
Jesus made it clear that servant-hood is an integral part of the Christian life: "Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many" (Mt. 20:26-28).
This shows us that Servant-Leaders exemplify by being effective servants. [Servant-Leader = One who serves their fellow man in accordance with the Bible, and leads them to righteousness when they are wanting to know more about God and His Word].

Blessings, Love & Peace 2 U All !!!

contradictions.. It's radiculous that Noah lived for over 600yrs.
Verse after immediate verse contradict each other about "life-span" of the flood to the extent that the story end up not making sense at all. If this was a prelude to the big salvation day (crucifixion) then it's not impressive at all. So, it's no surprise that the big is so controversial.

Check these direct quotes from the bible (All from Genesis) -
7:11 - In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
7:17 - And the flood was forty days upon the earth;
7:24 - And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
8:3 - And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.


NB: Don't tell me to read the bible - make clear biblical quotes about Noah's ark and the flood
