For instance, my Bose speakers have a touch sensitive metal surface that mutes the speakers if I touch the center of the volume control. The slightest touch activates it, but If I touch it with anything other than my finger, it does nothing. How does it know that it's my finger??!

I plugged it in an I can see that the tube in the back glows red like coils heated up. Is this safe, a normal feature of a direct view, or cathode ray tube television

It is abundantly clear from the story in Gen. 21:14-19 that Ishmael was a little baby at that time. Following is the documentation of this statement:

According to Gen. 16:16 Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born. And according to Gen.21:5 Abraham was one hundred years old when Isaac was born. It follows that Ishmael was already fourteen years old when his younger brother Isaac was born.

According to Gen. 21:14-19, the jealousy incident took place after Issac was weaned. Biblical scholars tell us that “the child was weaned about the age of three”.

It follows that when Hagar and Ishmael were taken away Ishmael was a full grown teenager seventeen year old.

The profile of Ishmael in Gen. 21:14-19, however , is that of a small baby and not of a teenager.
Why ?

First : According to the Interpreters Bible , the original Hebrew for Gen.21:14 was “…and put the child upon her shoulder”. The same reading is rendered in the Revised Standard Edition of the Bible.

How would a mother carry a Seventeen year old teenager “upon her shoulder? Certainly he was strong enough to carry his mother !
Ishmael must have been a baby .

Second : In Gen. 21:15 we are told that Hagar “cast” the child under one of the shrubs. Again, according to this Biblical text Ishmael must have been a baby and not a seventeen year old man.

Third: In Gen. 21:16 we are told that Hagar sat away so that she may not see the death of the child before her eyes. Is that a profile of a husky seventeen year old teenager who was probably capable of being worried about his mother dying before his eyes? Or is it obviously a profile of a small helpless baby or at most a small child?

Fourth : According to Gen. 21:17, the angels told Hagar “arise lift up the lad”. Is a seventeen year old young man a proper object to be “lifted up” by a woman? Or is that a reference to a small child or baby?

Fifth: In Gen. 21:19, we are told that Hagar went to fill the bottle with water “and give the lad a drink”. One would expect a strong young man of seventeen to go and bring water to his mother instead. (Arab history has shown the miraculous well in Mecca was the first sacred spot to the Ishmaelites long before the advent of Prophet Muhammad.)

The non Jewish version of the story is fully consistent and coherent from A to Z; Ishmael was a baby and Isaac was not born yet when this incident took place. This coherence and consistency are confirmed by centuries-old traditions and even actual locations in Mecca where Hagar and Ishmael settled. This clearly implies that the real reason behind their settlement in Arabia (Paran) was not the dictation, jealousy, ego or sense of racial superiority on the part of Sarah. It was rather God’s plan; pure and simple.

It may be relevant to indicate that this issue is not the only instance of inconsistency in respect to Ishmael’s story. The Interpreters Bible compares the story of Hagar and Ishmael in Gen. 21:14-19 with that in an earlier chapter (Gen. 16:1-16) and concludes “the inclusion in Genesis of both stories so nearly alike and yet sufficiently different to be inconsistent, is one of many instances of the reluctance of the compilers to sacrifice any of the traditions which has become established in Israel.” (Interpreters Bible, ibid, p. 604)

I'm going in for a cleaning & do to pain in my gums they are going to put me under local anesthetic. I've had horrible experiences with dentists in the past and I'm not looking forward to having a needle poked into my gums & being drilled away at for an hour.

Will an MP3 player help, or will that somewhat isolate the sound of the drills? What else can I do to stay comfortable throughout the cleaning?

My friend told me that instead of getting her hair cut with scissors she got it cut with a crab. What does it look like, how does it work, is it new? If anyone could find a picture that would be cool.

i feel hell does not have the fire as we see... but it is a place of seperation from god.... in sense to say that God is a person with positivity and negetivity was never chosen by him... and negetivity was chosen by the satan... so i think ppl in hell will have a storng feeling of guilt burning as fire... and i also think that as god has a plan for human beings not to go to hell... even if they would have to as sinners... sake of gods love they would not... and if i can add a question to this.... if god has a plan to save the humanity wat about the angels which are fallen... is he going to save them out of his gacious love??

Pls help! Irregular period?
I have very light "period" or rather, some small amount of red and tissue blobs...especially after i peed. for more than 3 weeks a month. And it has been going on for about 5 months. I will only have clear days for about a week or two, then, followed by the endless wait for it to be clear again.

I am overweight and 30 years old. Is it quite common? or am i having the symptoms of cervical cancer?

Pls help...I am anxious to find out. Thanks!

I am not on any sort of medication and birth control. Thanks all!
