Who thinks about their own mortality? How many of you are aware of a finite reality? With all the the trivial endevours I see in society, I wonder if anyone focuses on making each moment count. Does anyone think about who they want to be and what they want to achieve as they enter the last phase of their lives? If you had a calender of each day you'd spend alive, would you choose your pursuits differently? I often try and catch the sunset, or sunrise, and I think it will be the only one of its kind. And sometimes I think of how long the universe existed to create life, and how long it took life to create me, and how short a time I have to live compared to the amount of work involved to make my life happen! How precious, indeed, is life. Anyone else think about this? I am wondering about the psychological state most people are in day to day as they move about in their lives. Are we missing the cognitive awareness of mortality to shape our pursuits into a more meaningful existence?

I'm a Christian... I have been hearing a lot about other Christians judging people who are gay. I can't understand how someone who knows that there isn't a perfect soul on earth, could judge people who are same sex oriented. We all have sinned and made mistakes. I have friends who are gay. I know that it's a sin, but haven't we all been guilty of something? MY POINT TO THIS IS: WHY JUDGE SOMEONE FOR THEIR SIN, WHEN WE HAVE ALL SINNED?

My husband brought home another puppy. When have a 1 1/2 year old male pug and a 9 month old male pit bull. When I was growing up all we had were pitbulls and boxers or a mix of them. This new female puppy that my husband brought home attacks my feet and my feet only. She totally loving for my husband and my 2 older boys. But with my she goes after my feet all the time and those little puppy teeth of hers are sharp. I will be sitting there and out of nowhere I have a puppy latched onto my ankle. Sometimes I have jumped and almost kicked her. I know she is just playing but why does she only do this to me? Is it because I am the only other female in the house? Or does she not like me?
PLEASE NO PIT BULL HATERS RESPONDING AND TELLING ME I AM HORRIBLE FOR HAVING ONE. BLAME THE DEED NOT THE BREED!!!!

Examples- vampires, werewolves, ect...
is this type of thing a hidden unknown to the general public ( like in supernatural {where only few people truly know of their existence} or like blood + {where the government is aware of the existence yet covers up the truth with reports of homicidal men taking the blame for the murders})

I currently have a NVIDIA 128 MB GDDR3 6600 GPU and am looking at getting a NVIDIA 512 MB GDDR3 GEForce 7950 GT card. I'm wondering how much of an effect the graphics card has on video editing. Most of these cards are most for fast FPS for games, which is not what I need. Thanks.

Earmark monitor's exit baffles, troubles GOP
By Sean Lengell
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
March 29, 2007


The federal agency that tracked pork-barrel spending during the 12 years of the Republican congressional majority has discontinued the practice since Democrats took power, riling lawmakers suspicious of the timing and concerned about the pace of fat being added to bills.
"To me, something doesn't smell right," said Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican. "I just hope no one is pressuring" the Congressional Research Service (CRS).
While not blaming the Democratic leadership, Mr. DeMint added: "I guess if you're looking for a motive, you'd have to look in that direction."
CRS, a nonpartisan agency of the Library of Congress created to conduct research for members of Congress on legislative issues, changed its policy in February -- a month after Democrats took control of the Congress and vowed to curb the number of special-interest projects inserted into spending bills or even reports that don't require a vote

We just got a used aquarium from a friend a few weeks ago and we have had it set up for a little over a week now and have not put any fish or live plants in it. We have had the "bacteria bloom" and the water is starting to clear again but still is a bit cloudy. However, there are tiny white growths of something sticking to the glass in certain spots and setting on top of some of the plants. On one plant there is some kind of strange orange-looking growths that reminds me of silica gel. Is this normal? How do I know whether this is bad growth or good bacteria? The filter was previously used for quite awhile in this tank several weeks before we set this up, but we cleaned the aquarium itself out well and put new gravel and plants in it. Could the filter being used cause there to be more growth than normal, since bacteria may already be in it?
