I hear all this sheep saying that Bush lied. What did he lie about? Our intelligence and every other one in the world thought he had WMD. We know he had them at one point because we gave them to him and he killed 180K of his own people with one plane. England and others still stand by the information of Saddam looking for yellow cake in Africa. So what did he lie about? Stop this brainwashing and re-writing of history.

I am looking for the very best guide to style in visual art that is currently available. I want excellent quality & well presented print reproduction of the art being discussed and engaging explanatory text that is not too academic. It's absolutely OK if the book centers entirely on painting.

Yes, this is probably what many people call a coffee-table style book but I'll use the example of what I think is the best way to design/publish cookbooks as an example - as the book lies open there would be a large format sharp image of the finished product on one page and the actual recipe with associated notes/comments on the other.

I think you get the idea. I want a great-to-look-at book but one that is a thorough and legitimate period/style/technique/etc. overview.

Thank you, in advance, for your recommendation.

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anything can be mistaken for ICH. I recently bought a new fan tail 3 days ago and put him in quarentine. After the 1st day I noticed several white spots on his body and fins so I put about 20 teaspoons of salt in the tank. (its a 20 gallon tank) So anyways, this morning I noticed the spots were gone. I was under the impression that the life cycle of ICH was around at least a week. How could the spots be gone after 1 day?

Claude shook my hand and sat down in the same movement. His hand was warm and firm; his face stayed cold and firm. It was one of those square well-fed French faces that aren't giving anything away; he had no more expression than a stopped clock. But his movements were balanced and wary.

I do not understand the meaning of wary. People mean hesitate when they say wary. But when it is an adjective for movement, what does it exactly mean? waggling.

Has anyone else ever noticed that if you rearrange the letters in 'Santa' it spells 'Satan'? They both classically wear red too. One comes down the chimney and lands in the fireplace. One comes down from heaven and lands in the fires of hell.

1. When we say that man can recognize God through the construction of a cell or an atom it is only meant for those who really want to believe in God but not for those who do not have the intention of doing so at all. To illustrate this point the following examples can be cited:

(i) Look at a man who roasts and broils meat on a gridiron and who cuts several livers in a day into slices for roasting but does not know the various veins and arteries embedded in it because he had nothing to do with knowing those blood vessels.

(ii) Look at a man who is busy from morning to evening in selling mirrors to his customers and who has dishevelled hair and who never cares to groom it despite looking at the mirror several times in the day as he is only concerned in selling the mirrors and not grooming his hair.

(iii) When a man is busy cleansing with his handkerchief the glass of his watch and we ask him the time, he sees his watch again, because he was busy cleansing the watch and had not noted the time.

(iv) Look at a carpenter who makes a ladder but never does he himself mount it but for the sake of demonstration he does so several times in order to satisfy his customers.

From the foregoing examples we can conclude only one result that unless man wishes to know a thing or to draw benefit from it, he would not know it nor would he draw any benefit from it. Similarly, people do see the signs of God closely and minutely yet they do not have belief in God, because just by merely looking at the signs their intention is not to recognize God .

2. We all know that when from the very beginning we are favored with a blessing we do not realize its true significance and hence it loses its freshness. Similarly, when we see the signs of God everywhere we do not care to think about it or to realize its import because from the very start we had become used to them and as such they seemed to have lost their novelty. Take an example of the thumb of your hand about which you have never been thankful to God because it has been there since your birth. But suppose this thumb is bandaged for a while or is completely detached from your body, you will see that without it you cannot even button your shirt! (You can yourself imagine it while reading this instance).

Since the continuity of bounties leads to the forgetfulness of God misfortunes come to us as a warning. The Holy Qur'an says that sometime God inflicts hardship upon man so that he may return to God and ask Him for His forgiveness. The Holy Qur'an repeatedly reminds mankind to remember God's blessings and bounties and we often find in the supplications of leaders of religion that they enumerate one by one God's bounties and benevolence, for example they say: ' It is You, O God Who has elevated us from lower position to a higher status, from ignorance to knowledge, from small quantity to a larger quantity, from poverty and indigence to richness and wealth and from illness to health".

3. People ignore religion because many innovations have been introduced into it by ignorant friends and wise enemies.

As for example if we offer a glass of water to a thirsty person and a fly falls down in it, that person instead of drinking water throws it away. Hence, just a man shuns water because of the fly, similarly he shuns religion because of the presence of a few unreasonable and irrational things in religion. Therefore, we should not be unmindful of those whose actions distract the people from religion.

4. Environmental Influence: The cause of man's deviation from religion and religious commands is the problem of the environmental influence. Man by his very nature and instinct dislikes the act of stealing and considers misappropriation as a bad thing, but when he is in an environment which is dominated by thieves and usurpers, he too adopts their habits.

5. Sometimes indifference to religion is due to shirking responsibility, because accepting religion means binding oneself to accept various religious restrictions and obligations. Hence some people shun religion since they want to be free from all restrictions. They do not realize that to be so free as to abstain from following Divine commands means that they have accepted all other restrictions and all sorts of servitude. He who does not accept to be the servant of God is a slave of everybody else, and he who does not obey His commands must obey the commands of everyone else. He who leaves God and turns to others is as if it were like one who falls from the sky to the earth. He becomes a prey to the vultures before whom he falls down.

6. Enmity: There is a certain group of people which harbors grudge and indulges in prejudice and selfishness. Such people oppose and criticize things for the sake of opposition and thereby disregard the Divine commands altogether.

7. Lack of Proper Preaching: It is also lack of proper preaching or preaching in a wrong way which makes people indifferent to religion .


Do you agree? why? why not?

This past year my 7 year old has become more and more rebellious. He screams, kicks, punches and yesterday he even bit me. I am ashamed at what I think of him. I love him and want to help him overcome his behaviour but how. My husband and I have tried many things but nothing seems to work. He was a perfect child up till now. He started getting into trouble at school and was even suspended this year at the age of 6. Wow! I am beside myself and haven't got a clue what to do. How can I get through to him and make him understand that his behaviour not only hurts others but himself as well. He is a great kid with a hot temper. Please help.
