...this is from a Catholic. "ekporeuomenon" is a word I'm sure you're familiar with. Do you recognize a difference between its meaning and in infamous "procedentum" of the western Creed, or do you see them as being synonymous?

Well i have the disease. But i'm actually thinking what causes the form of it. A couple months before I started having symptons of this disease, i got stung by something on my hip. The area got all purple and swelled. I think this is what caused my disease. Because just a couple weeks ago i got stung on the foot and now my foot hurts like my hip does. What do you people think?

Distant space collision meant doom for dinosaurs By Will Dunham
Wed Sep 5, 3:36 PM ET



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A collision 160 million years ago of two asteroids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter sent many big rock chunks hurtling toward Earth, including the one that zapped the dinosaurs, scientists said on Wednesday.

Their research offered an explanation for the cause of one of the most momentous events in the history of life on Earth -- a six-mile-wide (10-km-wide) meteorite striking Mexico's Yucatan peninsula 65 million years ago.

That catastrophe eliminated the dinosaurs, which had flourished for about 165 million years, and many other life forms, and paved the way for mammals to dominate the Earth and the eventual rise of humankind, many scientists believe.

The impact is thought to have triggered a worldwide environmental cataclysm, expelling vast quantities of rock and dust into the sky, unleashing giant tsunamis, sparking global wildfires and leaving Earth shrouded in darkness for years.

U.S. and Czech researchers used computer simulations to calculate that there was a 90 percent probability that the collision of two asteroids -- one about 105 miles wide and one about 40 miles wide -- was the event that precipitated the Earthly disaster.

The collision occurred in the asteroid belt, a collection of big and small rocks orbiting the sun about 100 million miles from Earth, the researchers report in this week's issue of the journal Nature.

The asteroid Baptistina and rubble associated with it are thought to be leftovers, the scientists said.

Some of the debris from the collision escaped the asteroid belt, tumbled toward the inner solar system and whacked Earth and our moon, along with probably Mars and Venus, said William Bottke of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, one of the researchers.

DEADLY COLLISION

The collision is believed to have doubled for a while the number of impacts occurring in this part of the solar system.

In fact, while the bombardment of this region of the solar system due to this shower of debris peaked about 100 million years ago, the scientists said the tail end of the shower continues to this day. Bottke said many existing near-Earth asteroids can be traced back to this collision.

"Imagine breaking up a big, big boulder on top of a hill and all the fragments rolling down the hill. And somewhere at the bottom is a village called Earth," Bottke said in a telephone interview.

The dinosaur-destroying meteorite, thought to have measured 6 miles across, plunged into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and blasted out the Chicxulub (pronounced CHIK-shu-loob) crater measuring about 110 miles wide. The researchers looked at evidence on the composition of this meteorite and found it consistent with the stony Baptistina.

The researchers estimated that there also was about a 70 percent probability that the prominent Tycho crater on the Moon, formed 108 million years ago and measuring about 55 miles

across, also was carved out by a remnant of the earlier asteroid collision.

Philippe Claeys of Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium, who was not involved in the research, said by e-mail the findings were "clear evidence that the solar system is a violent environment and that collisions taking place in the asteroid belt can have major repercussions for the evolution of life on Earth."

Bottke emphasized that point. "Dinosaurs were around for a very long time. So the likelihood is they would still be around if that event had never taken place," Bottke said.

"Was humanity inevitable? Or is humanity just something that happened to arise because of this sequence of events that took place at just the right time. It's hard to say."

My best friend is BI, & she's dating a chick right now. I'm str8. Her girlfriend gets jealous because she feels that my friend pays more attention to me than her, but she's been my friend for many years, & she doesn't intend on marrying this girl. My friend's girlfriend has many friends, & my friend is my only friend. If my friend turns against me for her girlfriend, who she's thinking about dumpoing anyway because of her girlfriend's immaturity, then I'll have no friends & no one to emotionally support me. My family doesn't even support me. Her girlfriend dislikes me & makes fun of me & is trying everything in her power to turn my friend against me, & I'm scared. Why can't we all be a happy family? Why does there have to be hate & choosing?

***If you were in my friend's position, would you leave a perfectly good friendship with me for a chick you're dating but can't get along with or leave your woman & remain friends if you felt forced to CHOOSE? I'm not trying to make her choose.

I've noticed that a lot of guys, from my ex-boyfriend, to a guy I've got out on a couple dates with to my brother will call me, but not leave a message. WHY?

If they rang me, obviously they must have wanted something.

When my females friends call, 99.9% of the time they leave a message even if it's just, "Hey Lynn. Just wanted to say hi and see how you're doing. Later".

Why can't guys do the same?!

Here's the deal. Two years ago, I had to have an emergency c-section. My son (who had started to crown) had to be delivered via c-section because of a rapidly decreasing heart rate. Since then, I've suffered from abdominal pain. It varies from a constant pain to a stabbing pain. Sometimes the pain has been so bad I've literally fallen to my knees. In addition, sex is becoming more and more painful. I've also noticed a severe decrease in my ability to know when I need to go pee! I understand that a woman's pelvic floor is weakened after having a baby, but my symtoms have gotten progressively worse. So here's my question: what sort of things could have gone wrong during the surgery? I've watched some c-sec videos and I've researced the process as best I can, but I can't shake the feeling that something was done incorrectly either during or after delivery. I've been tested for a bladder infection, cancers, STDs, etc etc. These are not the source of the problem.

My twins are 7 months old, and I know with my 2 year old son, it was so easy to get him to use a sippy cup right off. This isnt the case with my twins, everytime i offer their milk in a sippy cup, they refuse or don't know how to suck from it. How can I teach them to use this? Or, do I just have to wait until they are ready??

We know the story by now: the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins were neck-and-neck for the first overall pick in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. The prize: one Mario Lemieux. Legend has it that the Pens tanked games at the stretch to secure the right to pick first. Let's just say that the Pens chose very wisely.

Think back for a moment. What if Pittsburgh didn't "struggle" to finish out 1983-84? New Jersey would have been gifted with the talents of Lemieux (and in those days, not even the then-"Mickey Mouse" franchise would have screwed that one up). On top of that, they were beginning to secure the future foundations of their team, adding Patrik Sunstrom, Sean Burke, Ken Daneyko, Bruce Driver, John MacLean, and others into the mix. Would a Lemieux have made the Devils a contender sooner? What would have become of the Penguins? Would they even be in Pittsburgh today if history was changed?
