I understand that 1280 x 720i/p and 1980 x 1080i/p indicate the number of vertical horizontal lines on an HDTV set but when I check out manufacturers' specs for their HDTV's, you see specs like 1024 x 768, 1365 x 768, and 1280 x 1080. As you can see, nothing matches. So how for example, can a manufacturer advertising a 1024 x 768 tv claim to show 1080i when the tv physically has only 768 horizontal lines?

Well I saw in a magazine about pygmy rabbits. They are the smallest rabbits in the world. Well, it said they were close to extenction, but people rescued them and bred them to help the population. Well, I know they are wild rabbits, but I wanted a rodent ( like a Chinchilla, cute and cuddly) but that doesnt have as many needs, like the temperature. I was looking in a rabbit, but the ones i looked at were too big. I want a really small rabbit (like a pygmy rabbit). I also want to adopt or rescue one, so if anyone knows of any good rabbit rescues (I've already looked at petfinder) please list them. The last thing I want to end up doing is buying a rabbit from a breeder or pet store. Also, if anyone knows of any other rodents (except hamsters, guinea pigs) that I could play with and cuddle with, please list them.
I have a cockatiel, 1 dog, and 2 hermit crabs, so I need a small, playful rodent. Thanks!!

Is there a law that requires people to own a home at some point in their life?
I kinda want to rent most of my life so I don't have mortgages or real estate taxes or home owners insurance.

Will I still go to heaven if I rent my whole life?

Is this true? Would seem a little stupid someone showing stigmata on their hands when that has no biblical importance whatsoever don't you think? Recently i was told that when people tested hand crucifictions and found it to be impossible religious people changed their minds and said they crucified through the wrists. Have they themselves proven hand stigmata to be completely fake or stupidity on the part of god's affliction with this phenomenon?

I've got a duplex which I re-financed last year, the house I live in accidentally got paid for and the duplex has two mortgages on it. I knew I could juggle the two for a while financially, until I sold the duplex however its been over a year and I can't sell it for assessed value, I can't do a short sale because two different mortgage companies have similar investments in it and I can't re-finance my current home because of lack of credit. Now I'm falling behind on taxes, utilities and other obligations. I've called the mortgage companies (AMC/Country Wide) and they say its not their problem, get your payment in!
Any one with similar experience or ideas would be most appreciated.

I have a rather new timing light and know how to use it on my Toyota Truck, but never understood what the Advance dial is used for. I just leave it on 0, when using it.

i see ghosts occasionally, and it really doesnt effect me, well last night i saw a ghost that scared the crap out of me. i dont know why, but it made me feel unsafe. i was coming upstares at about 2 in the morning, when i saw my door was cracked with the light was on. (dont worry, thats how i left it) i noticed through the crack in the door, a shape that looked like a person. i couldnt see it very well, so i thought it was probablt just some junk or something and as soon as i touched the doornob, it ran away, when the door was all the way open, i looked around and saw nothing, just a messy room.. i was really scared so i went to the bathroom and right as i was at the doorframe, i heard a strange noise. i thought it might be just the pipes so when i took another step forward, i heard it a bit clearer, it was a girl whispering in my ear. she sounded about 6-10 inches away, but when i looked around, nothing. so i ran to my sisters room and demanded that she come with me

I am concerned with how illegals are taking jobs in this country. I have seen employer after employer rid themselves of quality employees and hire illegal criminals to fill in the empty positions. I have been let go from 4 jobs in the past 3 years in favor of cheap illegal labor. I have a child and am a single parent with 3 jobs now and absolutley no way of seeing my own child because of having to work so much just to keep a roof over our heads, and food on the table. Where once i was a machinist now i have to flip burgers, wait tables, and wash cars for no more than 8.25 hr, and NO benefits. My child was sick once and i had to skip my rent to just pay the hospital bills. The state won't help me because I make TOO much money. Are they kidding. We skip 2 maybe three meals a week and they say i make too much money for help. As I left the office of welfare some well known illegals i knew came in to apply for medicare and food stamps which I was refused and they were accepted.

My son an I want to send things that might be needed to soldiers or even Iraqis supporting us. anyway we can find needy soldiers or their families and send them things. Every soldier I know has extended family and really doesn't need much. I'm concerned for the soldier that does not have family.
